Baby Shower

I had my daughter-in-law's baby shower at the Bennett-Curtis House and it was amazing! I chose to do a 10 am shower with breakfast and omelette bar, and the food was delicious! It was set up so beautifully and my guests enjoyed it! The staff was wonderful to work with during the planning process and accommodated every one of my needs.

Plated dinner for 170

Scott went above and beyond!!! Food was hot and tasty! His staff was very professional and cleaned up everything when the event was over. He answered all texts and calls immediately. I would highly recommend Bennett Curtis house for your catering needs. He also supplied all glassware which was a lot. Bartenders were fast and efficient there was never a wait. I am very happy with his services.

Professional, Communicative, and Personable

Scott was incredibly professional, responsive, and thorough throughout the entire planning stage. On the day of the event, he was very personable and effectively communicated between everyone at all times to ensure everyone was on the same page. We could not have asked for a better venue, coordinator, or staff. The food and drinks were fantastic. Bar service was incredible. Everyone had a really great time, and we owe it all to Scott and The Bennett Curtis House staff.

Bridal shower brunch

My daughter really wanted breakfast foods and a mimosa bar for her shower. Bennett Curtis House was a great choice for this! The food was excellent. Everyone was helpful and professional. They were prompt in getting answers back to me with any questions I had.

Outstanding!

The Bennet Curtis team was so easy to work with! We elected to do 3 stations at our wedding reception. The food was delicious and there was something for everyone. One of the fabulous ladies even searched for my husband and I during passed appetizers to make sure we didn’t miss out!

Daughter’s Wedding Reception

When our daughter graduated from Olivet I was looking for a nice place to have a celebration dinner. It was then that I discovered The Bennet-Curtis House. She stayed in the area, and five years later announced her engagement and gave me 6 months to plan! As I frantically searched for a caterer, I ran across the Bennett-Curtis House and remembered the lovely celebration dinner we had. We called them and thankfully they were available the weekend that we needed. They asked if we wanted to have a menu tasting but we remembered how wonderful the food was when we were there so we declined the offer. We added appetizers platters to our order and were pleasantly surprised that the staff replenished the items and kept it neat. We also added the cake cutting service which was a lifesaver! We received many positive comments on the both the appetizers and the meal. Scott was a pleasure to work with, he was very flexible. The staff was also very efficient, friendly, and professional. We felt that they went beyond and above our expectations! We highly recommend them!

Wonderful Place and Staff

We had my daughter’s bridal shower at The Bennett-Curtis House. The theme was Breakfast at Tiffany’s with a tea party sandwiches, mimosas and a blue color chocolate fountain. Everything, from scheduling to end of the party, was perfect.

Very Accommodating, excellent service and the quality of food was amazing!

They were able to provide a luncheon for 65ppl over 3 different shifts with only 1 business day of notice. Also delivered to our off shift without hesitation. Food came piping hot for all shifts. All around excellence!

What a great historic place to have a wedding. We enjoy working there. Scott and Keri make it a pleasure to have a wedding there. The food the staff the serene atmosphere just wonderful. If your looking for a garden wedding this place is great, with backup of indoor reception. The indoors of the mansion brings you back to the days when elegance was the norm not having your reception in a big box. If your stressed about the wedding the B/C is one stop shopping with the "ULTIMATE PACKAGE" all you have to do is in one day say please take care of my wedding. They will.... from food tuxes cake and photography. Go there it's worth the drive!
