12/10 hire diane

We used Diane for our fall 2024 wedding and we've been in such a state of marital bliss that we're extremely late in giving this review actually!

From the get-go, Diane hustled hard for us and we knew from the moment we met her, she had our back.... she's direct, friendly, and goes out of her way to make the food special for her clients and ensured we had a smooth, stress-free experience. If anything went wrong the day of our wedding, we had no idea. Diane is SO together in fact, that she handled things that probably some of our other vendors dropped the ball on. She handled a large portion of our rentals which was so helpful.... always giving advice when asked, and gently nudging us back on course if she saw a problem arising (the rentals and the food were all included on one bill, very helpful). Much to my relief as well, she totally got a lot of our more uncommon requests for our wedding, including venue, time of day, flow of day, and style, and made it all flow seamlessly with a ton of moving parts--including orchestrating our bourbon toast (instead of champagne) and our "heirloom" family dessert table along with a small cake, which she set up for us beautifully alongside her catering setup.

Now for the food.....I (the bride) am from KY, and both my husband and I really wanted to showcase some traditional KY foods, while accommodating a large variety of dietary requests, including mine--every version of an app or station we requested, she made a vegetarian version of as well as the regular. The food across the board was so delicious, and contrary to popular belief, you CAN enjoy the food at your wedding when you have Diane, because she personally made us each a plate and brought it to us. She and her staff throughout the event anticipated everything.... we were never without water, a drink, or food. One of my favorite moments of the day was in the few minutes before I walked down the aisle, I was getting sooooo nervous and Diane strolled by, took one look at me and handed me my Bride's Cocktail (a delicious Paper Plane, ty Diane's bartenders for perfecting) and said "here try it for me to be sure it's right", with a little wink. The laugh I got from that made me giggle for the rest of the day. Our guests were so impressed and loved every bit they put on their plates.

She's truly Type A in the best way possible and allayed so many of this very Type A bride's fears of disaster along the way. Highly recommend Diane if you want someone who cares, and who will absolutely show up from day 1 for you and your partner to have a special, enjoyable, and stress free wedding day!

Incredible food and drinks. Overall professional experience

Type A Catering was incredible! Diane was very detail oriented throughout the entire process. Not only did Diane help us put our menu together, she also took care of ordering our rentals. We had a tasting, rental selection meeting, and multiple planning phone calls / emails. We had 3 food stations at our wedding - tenderloin and mashed potatoes, lasagna cupcakes, and street tacos. It was awesome having multiple food options for us and our guests! We had a stunning charcuterie spread and passed appetizers during cocktail hour. We also had 3 signature drinks. Everything was delicious and consistent from our original tasting! We received multiple compliments from our guests about the catering. Type A Catering was very accommodating of our special requests and guest's dietary needs (GF, allergies, vegan). On our wedding day, the staff was incredible too. Diane personally brought our dinner to us to ensure we could enjoy our meal together. Additionally, Type A packaged 2 meals for us to enjoy in the days following our wedding. I couldn't have been happier with Type A Catering, I highly recommend them to anyone!! Thank you Type A Catering!

Type a catering is the dream team

If I could advise one thing to any future bride planning her wedding, it would be this: HIRE DIANE KELLUM WITH TYPE A CATERING. Do it now.

The company is aptly named Type A as Diane is every bit of it and as a bride you'll be so so so thankful she is. Diane is more than a caterer- she fills in all the gaps and grey areas when it comes to the reception planning. Everything from rentals to food to timing and more- she'll be thinking of things you never dreamed of needing to plan. She has plan A, plan B, and plan C locked, loaded, and ready-to-go for your event.

After our initial tasting, my husband and I counted down the days until we could eat her food again. We were overwhelmed with our good fortune of booking her so late considering our wedding was slotted for one of the most popular dates of 2021.

Diane's food is not "wedding food", it is quite literally fine dining. Don't be alarmed by any negative reviews regarding the bar. She is upfront about serving alcohol and her legal obligations and we were all on the same page. We had not a single issue with our open bar and guests the entire night.

Our menu included shrimp & grits, spinach artichoke puffs, brie & berry skewers, and bourbon date rumaki for appetizers, spring berry salads, bourbon cream chicken and bourbon BBQ brisket for entrees, green beans, mac 'n cheese, and fingerling potatoes as sides, and a late night snack chicken & waffle station.

(We also hired her for my bridal shower and that food was to die for as well)

Diane is nothing if not consistently exceeding expectations! 10/10
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
