Great food! Worth upgrading package to include Day of Coordinator!

River City Catering was a pleasure to work with for our daughter’s wedding! The food was absolutely delicious. We received many compliments from our friends and family. RCC accommodated for our guests who had food allergies, were gluten free or vegetarian.

Our cocktail hour menu consisted of: grazing table (antipastos, cheese display, tropical fruit), shrimp ceviche. Buffet dinner: mojo boneless chicken, fresh mahi with mango salsa, mushroom risotto, cilantro rice, vegetable medley, roasted red & sweet potatoes, plantains, salad, bread rolls. Bar included Moscow mule, white sangria, wines, beers, sodas, juices, and an infused water hydration station. Variety of dessert shooters: carrot cake, key lime pie, and red velvet

Kiaraliz (also goes by Kiara) was professional and responsive throughout the planning process to ensure everything went according to plan. Kiara’s day of coordination was amazing - she listened to my daughter’s vision and provided great feedback. We had a weather scare the morning of the wedding, however, that went away and once Kiara arrived on site - I, the Mother of the Bride, did not have to be involved with setup and could give all my time and energy to the bride.

We received lots of accolades on food, Kiara’s attentiveness and that of her staff.

Thank you so much for catering our event! We would highly recommend RCC and would use them again for our catering needs.

Review for River City Catering

River City Catering was absolutely incredible from start to finish, and we are still getting compliments on both the food and the service! Kayleigh, their Senior Event Coordinator, was a total rockstar — her communication, professionalism, and responsiveness made the entire planning process a breeze. From the tasting to the final details leading up to the wedding, she made us feel so confident and cared for.

On the day of, the entire River City team was phenomenal. They were warm, friendly, professional, and handled our 120-guest buffet-style dinner flawlessly. Service was quick, seamless, and never felt rushed. One of the sweetest surprises? They had our full meals (mixed with all dinner options and hors-d'oeuvres) and our signature drinks already set at our table so we could sit and eat right away — and they kept checking in on us throughout evening to make sure we had everything we needed. That kind of attentiveness truly meant so much.

The food itself? Delicious. Guests raved about it, and we loved everything just as much as we did at the tasting. River City Catering didn’t just deliver a meal — they delivered an experience, and we can’t recommend them enough!

I dream of that gnocchi

Seriously though... I might need to order a tray periodically. Easily my favorite thing at the wedding (minus my husband, of course).

You guys absolutely slayed. There simply isn't a better catering company around. From the flavors, to the presentation, to your top-tier staff (shout out to Kayleigh and Debbie)... We simply cannot brag on you guys enough.

For anyone looking for a caterer. Definitely have a tasting with River City. You'll see just how much they stand out from all the rest. You will quickly come to understand that they are genuine professionals. The attention to detail, organization and communication was so consistent throughout our entire year of planning. They are a well oiled machine and 👏HON👏 EY. They can COOK.

Everyone said I would be so stressed day of. They said I wouldn't even get to eat. Lol... Umm... I cleaned my plate. My wedding day was over of the chillest days I've had in a while and it was all because I knew I was in great hands with my vendors. I knew RCC had us covered.

Do yourself a favor and contract with RCC. You will thank me. ❤️
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
