So glad we chose them!

We are so glad we chose Southwestern Weddings and Events! Casey, our wedding coordinator, was so friendly, detail oriented (without stress), professional, and helpful. Everything went so smoothly and her set up of our decor was fantastic. Wendy helped us plan the menu and we loved all the food- but especially the short ribs! The presentation was great and everyone loved the Artisan Table and passed hors d'oeuvres. Our bartender was great and kept up with the demand. The highlight was their staff member Ray. He brought added energy and fun to the reception and everyone loved watching him work. You won't regret choosing them to help with your event!

Food was delicious!

Food was delicious! We chose the Italian-style buffet for our wedding reception. The short rib and cannolis were our favorite dishes. Wendy was also super easy to work with. She was communicative and responsive leading up to and during the event. The catering staff were hospitable and did a great job setting up decorations and serving guests.

Fabulous Food!

I had the pleasure of hiring Southwestern Weddings to cater our office Christmas party. Wendy was extremely helpful and made us aware of all our options and what would fit our small group best. Everyone could not stop talking about how good the food was and went back for seconds. We will definitely use them again for future events.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
