Very Satisfied!

I was given many options for food choices. The owner Mrs.Gwen was extremely kind and so helpful in what we should serve. The staff was punctual, dressed professional and did everything that was promised. The compliments from our guest on how great the food was made it worth every dime! All leftovers were packed up by the staff for us to carry home.

Baby Shower Catering

We could not have been happier with the catering for our baby shower! The food was absolutely amazing!! Everything was delicious and our guests kept talking about how great it was. They made customizing our menu so easy. The woman she sent to set everything up and serve was incredible as well. She was so helpful, professional, and made everything run smoothly. Everyone we interacted with was so kind and made this a great experience. Highly recommend and would 100% use them again for future events!

Amazing Caterer

Waddell's Catering was amazing to work with. I used their services for my son and daughter in law's rehearsal dinner in August. They were so easy to work with. They have a wonderful menu to choose from and if what you want isn't on the menu they will do their best to make it happen. You will not be disappointed. The staff is amazing and easy to work with from the taste testing to the end of the event. They were very professional, the staff is great, the food is great, the set up and clean up was great, the presentation was great. I couldn't have been happier with the entire night. Thank you Waddell's Catering for providing great service to your customers.

Impeccable Service

I am writing to express my complete satisfaction with the service provided by Waddell’s team for my daughter’s wedding.

The entire event was handled to perfection. We were very pleased with the menu options; the selection was ideal. Piper was particularly great at listening to our needs and offering appropriate suggestions.

The team arrived two hours beforehand, and the setup was beautiful. Everything was delicious. We could not be more pleased with the outcome.

Sincerely,
Beth Hocking

You will not be disappointed in the service or the quality of food you receive. My daughter’s wedding was perfect from the rehearsal dinner to the reception meal and anything in between. The staff is amazing and easy to work with from the taste testing to the final day. They went above and beyond to make sure my daughter’s weekend was perfect. I can’t wait to use them for my son’s wedding.
