Great food Great people

We had such a pleasant experience with Vanilla Orchid. Jodi was there for us throughout the entire process. She wasn't pushy, didn't try to upsale, and made adjustments to our order as were necessary. The food was delicious and the bakery they worked with had some pretty phenomenal dessert bars.

Perfection from Start to Finish

I had used Vanilla Orchid for multiple events in the past and was fully aware of their remarkable quality and service, so I knew I wanted them to cater my wedding. However, they still managed to far exceed my expectations from start to finish. Jodi is knowledgable, professional, and experienced, and she went above and beyond to find even glass bottle Dr. Peppers for our guests! She was a DREAM to work with and the event staff on the day of were incredible. Everyone RAVED about the food, we had a rustic style BBQ with fried chicken, which they made there on site! I can't say enough about how smoothly our day went all thanks to Jodi and her team. I highly recommend them for their professionalism, high quality service, exceptional food, and great value.

The Vanilla Orchid is wonderful! The food for our wedding was fantastic. The whole team, led by the amazing Skylar Snyder, made our wedding great. Skylar guided us in the menu selection and preparing for the day with patience, great responsiveness, and professionalism. They were exceptionally accommodating for our outdoor wedding. Everything was cooked on site and tasted incredibly fresh. Guests are still complementing us on the food at our wedding. Thank you, Vanilla Orchid!
