Incredible food and impeccable service!

We used Root Cellar for our wedding catering and had an incredible experience from start to finish.

We had a smaller wedding (about 65 guests), and although we originally planned for a mix of indoor/outdoor, everything ended up being indoors due to weather. Their team was incredibly adaptable and handled the change seamlessly, which took a lot of stress off our plate.

The food was absolutely fantastic—truly one of the highlights of the night. We did station-style service, and the tacos were a huge hit. The mac & cheese bar was also amazing - a personal favorite! Our guests are still talking about how good the food was.

Beyond the food, the service was just as impressive. The staff was professional, on time, and very attentive throughout the event. Communication leading up to the wedding was smooth and consistent, and we always felt confident everything was in good hands.

We had zero issues, and the value absolutely matched the quality of both the food and service.

We would highly recommend Root Cellar—they were wonderful to work with and played a big part in making our wedding so memorable.

Highly Recommend Root Cellar Catering!!

Root Cellar is absolutely amazing. From the tasting and planning to the night of our wedding they were so helpful and wonderful to work with. The food itself was absolutely amazing! Everything was a huge hit- we still have guests talking about how it’s the best food they have ate at a wedding and asking who we hired so they could use them for future events. They are very reasonably priced for the quality and everything included in their service. I highly recommend using Root Cellar for any catering you need!

Just incredible for big events and weddings!

For some background, my husband owns The Videre Estate (a venue in Hill Country), and we decided to use Root Cellar Catering for our own wedding at Videre. We've seen them at plenty of weddings at our venue and each time, the team does such an incredible job at taking care of guests and their couples. Especially big shoutout to Beth and Kaylee. Beth helped us leading up to the day as our point of contact. She gave so much great insight, answered my 100s of questions along the way so quickly, hopped on phone calls with me, and is so knowledgeable about wedding catering and just weddings in general! And Kaylee!! She was our lead for the actual wedding day - and she just crushes it every time I see her at our venue! Always smiling, is on top of it, and just an overall go-getter and sweetheart!

Anytime we send couples to Root Cellar, we know they are in good hands with their team! We feel so lucky to have had them for our wedding and will continue recommending them to our 100s of couples!

Book Root Cellar NOW they are GEMS!!

Root Cellar could not have been a better choice for us!! Beth was INSANELY helpful and replied to my every question so fast and thoroughly for literally a whole year. Even months into planning, I randomly emailed Beth asking what the pricing would look like to switch from Buffet to Family Style, and she drew up the updated proposal that day. And on the week-of side, she was tweaking our rentals order (which they handled for us - HUGE HELP!! Highly Recommend having them do this!) literally on the last day before it was due to the Rentals company.

The food was phenomenal, and they even let us do the Hatch Chili Mac n Cheese that comes with a particular entree as its own standalone side and were really accommodating with handling various allergens of our guests (Nuts/Shellfish/Dairy/Gluten/etc) - all handled easily and safely.

And the food is GOOD - let me tell you, when we were doing our rounds at tables, I am not joking, every plate was scraped CLEAN. I noticed night of and was so happy! I'm a big foodie and it means a lot to me to serve hot, delicious food that I know the guests loved. And we went with a self service buffet so people were setting their own portions! I saw many folks go back for seconds too.

We also hired our Bartenders through Root Cellar, and I had MULTIPLE people tell me that we served we best margarita they'd ever had, which is saying something for a family of Texans. They also easily added a mocktail option for our NA guests and dealt with some overly complicated wine requests from me (My dad brought a specific bottle that he wanted his family to try, so that was hiding behind the bar on request).

And the servers were FUN! They were dancing along with the music, making jokes while pouring drinks, they remembered my drink order when I came back to the bar from the dance floor and were SO sweet when we sent them home with flowers. It felt like they got to enjoy the party too!

If you are getting married in the Hill Country, Root Cellar is THE choice. Book them now - go go go!!

We want more!

Absolutely phenomenal! Beth was amazing to work with and answered all million of our questions and changes. We drove down to eat at their main restaurant Root Cellar Cafe in San Marcos and knew we had to book them for our wedding. We did a tasting and the selection was pretty much what we had chose for our menu, which we enjoyed every last bite. For a buffet service, we had our worries but the first bite took us back to our tasting when the dishes were fresh off the stove, maybe even better. We did the short rib and the herb chicken pan gravy and it was chef's kiss. The catering service was amazing. They were quick and attentive. We are so happy to have chose Root Cellar as our caterer and we received a lot of compliments from our guests about how delicious all the food was. Such a great service overall, thank you!!

Absolutely amazing job by Vanessa and the team!!! SO IMPRESSED! Nicest bartenders EVER.

We cannot recommend Root Cellar Catering highly enough! From the very first contact, they impressed us with their professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine passion for creating exceptional wedding experiences. Food was amazing, experience was amazing, vibes were amazing. Our tasting was the most professional experience ever. Vanessa made sure that we had enough tables, linens, napkins, just anything you can think of- she made sure we would have enough. She also worked so well with my planner from Jade & Onyx, they worked together to make my day perfect!! BOOK WITH THEM.
