JDK Catering and Events exceeded all of our expectations for our wedding day. We cannot thank them enough for all the time and effort the whole team put in to make our day absolutely magical. Abby was always available to answer any and all of our questions throughout the planning process and helped us plan every part the day. She was with us every step from initially booking to the wedding day ensuring the day ran as smoothly as possible without any issues. Brooke and her team made our floral vision come to life exactly how we envisioned it. She was always so prompt with answering my emails and making any last minute changes that we wanted. The whole day was absolutely seamless and we have the JDK staff to thank for that. We will always recommend the JDK Group for any catering and event design needs!

The JDK Group was our best vendor decision we made during our wedding planning process. We have had so many of our guests tell us on our wedding day, and continue to reach out to us that our wedding was the best wedding they have been to. So much of these comments, were because of the JDK Group. We worked with Lexi, and she truly made our wedding perfect. She listened to what we wanted out of our day, what was most important to us, and what was not top priority. She revisited pieces that we brought up in our initial meeting later on in the process to ensure all of our details were taken care of. We worked hand in hand with JDK for both food and flowers. Lexi and Colton (with JDK florals) were able to have meetings together, which really helped us as we were traveling out of town. We gave them a few words, a few pinterest photos we liked, and some colors. We walked into our detail meeting (which was so helpful to have together with both catering and florals), and together they created the most beautiful place setting options that we could see in person. The cohesive design for both catering and florals was more helpful than I knew.Lexi stepped away from the process for maternity leave (congratulations Lexi!!). We started to work with Ashley from JDK, and Ashley never missed a beat. It felt like we never changed event specialists because of their communication. Ashley was so thorough and made us feel 100% confident and comfortable with the rest of the planning process. She took the details that we discussed with Lexi and made our wedding day happen. Our wedding day was perfect. Because of our planning process with JDK, we had full trust in their team. From arriving to the venue until we left on the bus, we had the best day. Shannon was the staff lead made our wedding day happen. The transitions from ceremony beverages as guests arrived, to cocktail hour, to dinner, to late night snacks all happened without us even thinking about it, because of Shannon. All the details that we had shared with Lexi and Ashley happened for our guests because of Shannon and her staff team. Sandy was the staff member who took care of my husband and me. She greeted us at the end of the aisle with our favorite beverages, communicated with us throughout the day to ensure we were taken care of, and even ensured our parents were happy. It was important to us that my grandparents didn’t need to visit the bar, and we communicated that with Lexi and her team. Not only did my grandparents never visit the bar, but Lexi and Ashley understood the importance and ensured that neither of our parents did either. The entire staff team was beyond wonderful.  The bartenders were provided by JDK. We wanted flavored Moscow mules, and my goodness were they delicious. The setup at cocktail hour and dinner was perfect, and we never saw a line at the bar.  When we booked vendors, we booked them for our wedding day. But we really booked them for the entire process leading up to the day. JDK was a vendor that checked in on us, listened to us, and one that we went to for overall wedding planning advice because of their expertise. Thank you to Lexi, Ashley and the entire JDK team for making our wedding perfect and one that we will continue to reminisce on forever. 

The JDK Group is absolutely top-notch! One of the biggest stress relievers during the wedding planning process was having one contact for the venue, event rentals, and catering. It made everything so much easier to coordinate, and I can't overstate how much it simplified things for us over the past year.

Their catering services was next to none! The food was extraordinary! We had the opportunity to do a taste testing earlier in the year, so we already knew how fabulous it was going to be, but our guests couldn't stop praising it afterward. The variety and flavors were exceptional, and the flaming donuts were a definite crowd favorite!

As someone who’s an extreme DIYer and very hands-on, I appreciated how the event rentals we had access to were both convenient and perfectly aligned with my vision.

Our dedicated coordinator, Andrea, was truly a lifesaver! I think we went through at least 10 iterations of the proposal as I kept sending a billion changes and new ideas. She kept pace with me the whole time and was an absolute joy to work with. Throughout the year, she eased my mind as we navigated the planning process. During our setup the night before and morning of, she rolled up her sleeves, jumped in, and helped bring my vision to life with the rest of my bridal party! She even saved the day when we forgot our rehearsal dinner outfits at the venue and rushed back to grab them!

The day of our wedding was incredibly smooth, and the entire team was wonderful.

I can’t recommend JDK enough—it was absolutely worth it!!!!
