Delicious food, phenomenal pricing, quality service!

We used Laurenda's for our wedding and it was fantastic! From our initial consultation to eating at our wedding, we were highly satisfied with our food service and blown away with the quality we received for the cost of services. When we went for our consultation, we instantly had a feel for the small family restaurant. Then, we took a bite of their food and we were sold on using them for our wedding as their food is delicious. Laurenda's took care of the food, linens, china, water goblets, silverware, and buffet table floral arrangement. We received so many compliments from our guests on how delicious the food was! We had a semi-formal wedding and served BBQ, mac and cheese, potatoes, coleslaw, baked beans, rolls, and cheese biscuits. Our guests, my husband, and myself absolutely loved all of the food and were impressed with the quality of service from Laurenda's on the day of our wedding. Thank you!!

Quality Food and Amazing Service

From the food to the service to overall value, they were top notch! They helped us build our perfect menu. We changed our minds between the first meeting and our first tasting and they were nothing but accommodating. Their packages include items other places wanted to nickel and dime for. Even made sure their setup matched the rest of the wedding theme. Amber was most helpful and communicative. My groom and I opted for a private dinner and by the time we were back in the reception space for our first dance the crew already had all plates and trash cleaned up! Friendly and efficient.
