The Catering Outfit was one of the first vendors we locked down and it was one of the best decisions we made! Their quality of service, attention to detail, and exquisite dishes all served to make our guests enjoy the day. Their menu options are extensive and they are very open to merging dishes together to ensure you get exactly what you're looking for. Courtney and the whole team were absolutely wonderful and I can't recommend them enough!

Best wedding food and experience
Courtney and TCO team...where do I even begin. The caterer was the hardest decision for us to book in this entire wedding planning process—because we knew it meant so much since they would be the day of coordinator as well. Could not have chosen better than Courtney and TCO. From the beginning on the phone to find out about the vibe and overall experience we wanted to create, down to the day of execution of the most amazing whiskey bar, Courtney’s attention to detail and eye for creating warm, beautiful, unique, and stunning spaces was so apparent. I told my fiancé after a phone call with Courtney that we needed to book her—I felt like she just got me! Her ideas were great, she was very helpful in understanding and sticking to budget, giving ideas on where to cut, and where it would be important to add. All of the decor and set up was all Courtney—I sourced table number frames and the name cards—and she absolutely crushed it all! For the food—hands down the best wedding food I’ve eaten and they have so many options, are able to accommodate any dietary needs, are able to theme your meal to really anything under the sun as long as you ask them. During our tasting, Courtney did a great job of making sure all the food made sense and flowed together. For the bar, TCO has a lot of options for upgrades, customizing only what you want (again to save $$), and TONS of options for beer and liquor as well as their custom drinks—all my guests are still talking about our spiked apple cider! The wine we had to source from our venue, but I am sure TCO has a great selection there too. Courtney was able to create a whiskey bar for us—and it couldn’t be cooler, way beyond what I imagined it would be! This is such a huge vendor for any wedding but our experience was top notch in terms of service, level of personalization, care, and quality of product. Not enough thanks to give for Courtney and team TCO! Xoxo

Highly recommend
I would highly recommend Courtney and the rest of the team at TCO. She worked closely with us over several months to craft the perfect menu that reflected us as a couple and ensure we served our guests an amazing meal. As an example, shortly before our tasting I sent over a vague idea of what we wanted for our signature cocktail - an autumn margarita - and when we arrived they had come up with three different (and delicious) variations on that theme! The food at the event was just as good as it had been at the tasting, and our guests were particularly impressed with the quality of service. Cannot recommend TCO enough!
