LOVED THEM! would hire again 100%

Married 1 month ago. - I dealt with mark through email for the planning process and I couldn't speak more highly about his professionalism, effectiveness and honestly and truly just a pleasant person to speak with & do business with. I loved how he went through various options for me and he always kept my budget as a top priority when planning with me. We did a sit down taste testing and he was there and again it was pleasant along with the food tasting!
I got more compliments than i can remember on how delicious their mashed potatoes were! they were also mine and my husbands favorite as well. The flow of the dinner service with servers and the crew went so well and effective! Honestly- I love how they are budget friendly and delivered top tier over exceeding service & quality of food. Thank you Mark & Irenes Catering Staff !

Book with Irene’s!

Long story short: you need to choose Irene’s for your wedding caterer! The food and service were top notch! Mark was oh-so helpful and responsive throughout the entire planning process! The food was delicious and so reasonably priced! Our guests told us our apps in particular were wonderful! One guest said the beef we served at dinner was the best beef he’s ever had! ALL of the food was wonderful and if that alone doesn’t sell you, the service was even better! One of the servers was so kind she made me cry tears of joy! I truly can’t say enough positive things about Irene’s, so you’re just going to have to book them and see for yourself! 10/10 recommend!

Locally Sourced Catering

Irene's is amazing. We were so impressed from the moment we did our tasting until the last bite on the wedding night. Everyone loved every bite of food and the staff was beyond accommodating. We chose to work with them because they don't go through big food companies, they use local places throughout Milwaukee to not only get their food, but to give back to when there is extra. That was very important to us. They care about the community and their clients in such a big way. We absolutely loved Irene's. They have been around forever, with good reason!

Great Catering With Options!

We had a Station setup for our Summer Barn Wedding and Irene's pulled it off nicely. Our guests were full and no one left unsatisfied! The package we put together with the help of Mark, their employee, was a bit of everything. The food was all delicious and the carving station was a particular hit, even in the middle of summer! The coffee was delicious! The brownies are to die for! (highly recommend) They even brought a fire pit with a s'mores station! Irene's really helped make our night something memorable for us and our guests! It wouldn't have been the same without the options they provided.

Irene's Catering made our wedding feel like "our wedding" instead of pushing a limited set of options. Their flexibility and delicious food made Irene's Catering the perfect choice for our wedding!

Delicious Food, Service and Price

Irene’s was terrific! They were our first tasting and after a few other tastings we came back to Irene’s because they had the best tasting food and price! Mark at Irene’s was very easy to work with and super attentive to all the details. Once Covid hit, they walked through all the changes that needed to be made for a buffet. They were willing to work with us on changes up to two weeks before! They even said they could work out of a garage if they had to for our wedding. They helped not only with the buffet, but also cutting and plating our sheet cakes, and serving pizza at the end of the night. Chicken Irene is SOOO good! I have gotten many compliments. Irene’s was very professional! Definitely check out Irene’s!

delious food

Mark at Irene's was wonderful to work with. He really listened and was very flexible. The tastings were a lot of fun, with several choices.. We decided to have a smores bar instead of cake and it was a big hit at the wedding. He was very responsive with emails and calls. He was organized!
We got many great compliments on the food and its presentation.

Irene's also cater for Corporate luncheons. Karen did a awesome job with taking our order and making sure there was enough to accommodate our luncheon. The food arrived hot and on time. The presentation was awesome. I'd definitely refer them to anyone who wants professionalism with great food.
