About this vendor

Whip It Good – Catering with Heart & Flavor

At Whip It Good, we’re all about high-quality, delicious food made with love. Whether you're dreaming of a show-stopping grazing table or comforting, crowd-pleasing homecooking, we’ve got you covered.

Our menu was thoughtfully crafted with weddings in mind—because we know your guests want something memorable to enjoy alongside those cold drinks. From the first bite to the last, we promise to provide food your guests will rave about long after the big day is over.

But great food is just the beginning. We believe that communication is key when working with couples. Our goal is to make your big day as smooth and stress-free as possible. We’re here to build real relationships with our clients—not just serve meals. Your wedding day matters to us, and we’ll work tirelessly to create a meal that leaves your guests coming back for seconds.

Whip It Good was founded in 2020 by Emmalee Caldwell. What started as a small operation out of her townhome, selling home-cooked meals to-go, quickly blossomed into a full-service catering business with a cozy storefront on the beautiful Indianola Square.

Today, we offer:

  • Full-service event catering

  • Freezer meals for busy families

  • Fun and educational cooking classes for kids and adults

We’ve poured our heart and soul into Whip It Good, and we absolutely love what we do. It would be our honor to be part of your wedding day—and to serve you and your guests food they'll never forget.

Afterall, Happiness Is Homemade.

Whip It Good Catering is a wedding caterer based in Indianola, Iowa.

Highly recommend

Awesome to work with. Professional in every way. Whatever we asked for, she was able to help us. Great food options. We had dietary restrictions (no gluten) for many guests and she was able to offer us delicious food that ALL OF OUR GUESTS could eat! Many of our guests raved about the food!

Great food! Wonderful to work with!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Whip it Good Catering! From the very first tasting to the final plate served at our wedding, everything was absolutely perfect. Emmalee and her team were professional, attentive, and so easy to work with throughout the entire planning process. And the food was AMAZING! Our guests were in love! We would highly recommend this catering service to anyone in need!

Whip it Good Catering is the best!

Whip it Good catered our wedding reception. From the moment we reached out to them, to our reception date, she was prompt, helpful, and so kind. She set up a tasting with us, which made things even more difficult  because it was all so good. They helped us narrow down our menu, and made sure we had nothing to worry about the day of. Everyone raved about the food and we have had so many people ask about this catering business since.  We would recommend them over and over and over again!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
