Again and again!

Joella’s was simply amazing! Everything from set up, taste, to tear down was perfect! We didn’t have to worry about a thing. They set up a beautiful buffet mine and the food plated looked beautiful. Our guests raved about the food. The staff even cleared people’s plates and stacked all my charger plates neatly once dinner was done. We would choose Joella’s again and again!

Catered Our Wedding Brunch

Joella's catered our wedding brunch, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. They were so flexible with all of our details - including vegetarian options - and they took care of all the delivery, set up, serving, and break down too. The food was delicious and exactly what our guests wanted after a long night of fun! It was reasonably priced as well. We're so happy we went with Joella's and can definitely recommend their catering services.

GREAT food, GREAT service

We love Joella’s! And we were so glad to share our favorite with our family and friends. The food was fantastic, the value affordable, and the catering coordinator (Brittney) very helpful. Highly recommend!

Great food and service

We had our event catered last Saturday. Everyone absolutely loved the food. Everyone wanted to know the name of the place I got it from. Brittney was so great to work with. I just told her the number of guest we were having and she took care of the rest. I highly recommend for your next event!

Joellas is Amazing!!!!

Joellas catered our wedding and it is beyond words how pleased we are with them. Their staff was amazing! From day one all the way up to my big day they were so easy to work with and very accommodating of all of my requests. My wedding guests complimented their kindness and professionalism all night! The food was beyond delicious. Hot, fresh, juicy, full of flavor! The staff stayed on top of everything keeping the dishes full and clean. My Husband and I was very satisfied along with our guests. We would highly recommend their services! Thanks so much Joellas!!!!!

Great with one exception...

The food was awesome! The catering manager was wonderful too! One of the servers was rude to guests and to us as well. We noticed and actually had some guests tell us that he treated them rudely. We talked to Brittany (the catering manager) afterwards and she was so apologetic. She sent us free dinners and wanted to know the details of our good and negative experiences. The other servers were so kind and professional, it was just the one that was bad. Brittany said that he would probably not be on the catering team if he could not change. I love that she addressed our problem so well. All of the food was so great, we received so many complements on everything. The price was great too.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
