Amazing in every way!

Savory Roots Catering was, quite honestly, THE BEST to work with. From start to finish, they were kind, patient, and incredibly easy to work with... even when I changed my mind about things a million times.

Their team was so lovely and down-to-earth, and they always took the time to answer every question I had without hesitation. On the wedding day, everything ran smoothly and the food was absolutely incredible.

So many of our guests kept talking about how amazing the food was long after the night was over. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better catering experience, and we are so grateful to the entire Savory Roots team for making our day so special.

Amazing Caterer!

We cannot say enough positive things about Savory Roots! They did a wonderful job with our wedding, and we are so happy with their work – they are wonderful at what they do. Their food is FANTASTIC, and the customer experience they provide is top-notch. Everyone we spoke with was so helpful and friendly, and we felt like we were in great hands the entire time. The team is very easy to work with and makes the process very straightforward & painless. And again, the food is INCREDIBLE (especially the desserts). Savory Roots helped make our day so fun and enjoyable, and we would 100% recommend them for any catering needs!

Amazing food and service!

We hired Savory Roots to cater our wedding on 11/16/24, and our experience was top notch! From the delicious food to the professional and friendly service, they greatly contributed to our amazing wedding experience (and that of our guests). We and our planner worked with Megan to design an incredible menu and make sure everything went smoothly on the day of the wedding. When our first private tasting did not go as well as we had hoped, the owner, Melanie, promptly responded to our concerns and offered a complementary second tasting, where we were able to finalize our menu. We greatly appreciated Melanie's professionalism and willingness to go the extra mile to make sure we were not only satisfied, but excited, for our wedding menu. At and after the wedding, our guests were raving about how amazing the food and service was. We also greatly appreciated the care that they took to accommodate our guests with allergies (tree nuts, celiac) and other dietary restrictions. We highly recommend Savory Roots!

The Best Food EVER

We used Savory Roots Catering for our wedding. We worked with Megan over the course of our planning to create the perfect menu for our guests. We made several changes along the way and Megan was a dream to work with while answering our questions and updating our menu. The food was truly amazing and the service on the day was exemplary. We were so pleased with the results and have had several of our friends and family tell us it was the best food they’ve ever had. It’s been two weeks since our wedding and our guests are STILL talking about the amazing food! I can’t say enough good things about them and I highly recommend Savory Roots Catering.

Not your average wedding food

I loved my experience with Savory Roots! The communication leading up to the day was clear, friendly and efficient (thanks, Megan!). Our wedding day was perfect, I loved the team we had. They truly took pride in a job well done. We chose the farmhouse grazing table and buffet, the food was wonderful! Everyone was raving about how delicious everything tasted, and the grazing table is the most magnificent charcuterie experience you can imagine. They even brought a sample platter of it for the bride and groom while we were getting our portraits taken. As someone with roots in the service industry, I know what an art it is to be pleasant, caring and knowledgable while maintaining efficiency and not distracting from the event. They are very good at what they do. I highly recommend you let them make your special event something to remember!

Savory Stations!

Savory Roots made our wedding meal dreams come true at Simpson Lakes! We chose the serving stations, and we are so glad we did! They offered such a delicious variety for our guests from the pasta bar to the carving station to the mashed potato bar. The appetizers were delicious and the desserts were incredible. The banquet chefs, servers, and bartenders were very professional and seemed super happy to be there! We really appreciated having drinks and appetizers brought to us as well as our main meals. The best was having to-go boxes to bring home with us after the wedding! 10/10 recommend hiring Savory Roots to make your wedding day dreams come true!

Best decision ever!

Thank you Savory Roots for the incredible catering at our wedding! The appetizers and entree were spectacular. We were so pleased with the presentation of the meal and the exemplary service of all your staff. We feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with you. Our family and friends still talk about that incredible grazing table a month later. We were all very impressed. 12/10 we would recommend ;)

DELICIOUS FOOD!

We hired Savory Roots for our wedding and could not have imagined anyone better! Their food was over the top fabulous and had our guests RAVING about all weekend long!

From the moment we booked with them, they were on top of communication and kept me feeling relaxed the entire process. When it came to wedding day, everyone was so pleasant to talk with and they gave top-notch service to our guests.

We are so thankful for their team! If you are getting married, LOOK NO FURTHER, hire them!

Fantastic!

Savory Roots was prompt efficient and the food was fantastic. We never had a issue from tasting through menu selection and changes with guest count. They offered solutions to obstacles that came up. Honestly I thought the food would be the most stressful part of the evening and it was absolutely not. The entire team was exceptional! If your doing an event or wedding I would highly recommend them!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
