Review summary
Under the Oak Catering is praised for delicious, varied menus (including fusion and notable vegetarian options) and efficient, attentive service. Guests raved about hors d'oeuvres, entrees, and fast plated service with no long lines, and staff resolved tasting mix-ups promptly. Highly recommended for weddings.
Efficient and Exciting!
Delicious food!
During our tasting, we experienced a small mix-up, but Laura’s incredible customer service more than made up for it. She went above and beyond to ensure we were completely taken care of and received the correct dishes. Her professionalism and kindness left a lasting impression on us.
On the wedding day, the entire staff was exceptional. Service ran seamlessly, every guest was served promptly, and the team’s attention to detail did not go unnoticed. My husband and I were especially grateful to find a plate of hors d'oeuvres waiting at our reception table — and even more touched that a server made sure we got to enjoy food during cocktail hour after photos. That level of care and thoughtfulness truly stood out.
I wholeheartedly recommend Under the Oak to anyone seeking catering services. Their food, service, and commitment to excellence made our wedding experience unforgettable.
Definitely Recommend for Weddings!

Your wait staff and bar tenders were spot on!! Blending into the background and getting the food out so quickly. They were responsive, polite and very detail oriented. And the food, WOW!!!! Absolutely everything from the appetizers, salad and main dishes were incredible. And I know this may sound odd, but the food was hot (like it should be). There were so many of our guest the next day that their number one comment was how awesome the food was.
Thank you so much our daughter's day so special!!
