Zest is the Best of the Best!!!!

My husband and I hired Zest to cater our wedding this past May, and we were absolutely blown away! They were a preferred caterer at our venue, and it was instantly clear why they’re so highly recommended. We worked closely with Elizabeth throughout the planning process, and she was an absolute gem. So kind, and genuinely excited to help bring our vision to life (even with my 1,000 slightly over the top questions!)

From greeting our guests post-ceremony with our signature cocktails on trays, to serving late-night McDonald's bottle-service style (literally doing the splits on the dance floor.......it was ICONIC), the Zest team brought so much energy to the day and made it so fun and special. Our guests could not stop talking about how amazing everything tasted, and to top it all off, we came in way under budget.

If you're not hiring Zest for your event, you're seriously missing out!!!

We loved Zest!

They were easy to communicate with, and everyone absolutely raved about the food. They also handled all of our guest dietary restrictions with ease. Would absolutely recommend!

Look No Further- Zest is IT!

I could not imagine a more amazing catering team if I tried. From the first time we met Garrett at the tasting (which was incredible), I knew that we were in the best of hands. He was creative, patient, professional, and on top of all things catering.

From the passed appetizers (the bacon wrapped dates were to die for) to the main course (don’t snooze on the bourbon glazed salmon), Zest just blew us away. They provided their own staff of bartenders and servers who were friendly and professional, and Garrett was on site the whole time to ensure that everything ran smoothly.

Wedding planning can be so stressful and having a team like Zest made the catering aspect feel so manageable. I truly cannot recommend them enough. Thanks for everything!

The absolute best!!!

Zest is known as the best in town for a reason. Not only is the food superb, but the care that you receive from this wonderful group is unmatched. I could not be more lucky to have had them for my big day. Elizabeth is an Angel!

Phenomenal Team!

Zest is the best in the catering business. I had the pleasure of working alongside Dana over the past two years, due to COVID wedding postponements. He was so professional and streamlined the entire process for us.

Our guests could not stop talking about how wonderful the food was, and the late night taco & churro bar was a huge hit. While I was too nervous to eat much during the wedding, we were pleasantly surprised to find a packed bag from Zest of leftover food in our getaway car. The team truly went above and beyond. I couldn’t not thank Dana enough for everything he did to make our day absolute perfection! Just looking at the photos below is making my mouth water again. Whatever you do, don’t hesitate to book this vendor!

Better than I imagined!

If i could make a review with only one word it would be YUM! The food was absolute perfection and one of the guest highlights for sure! We worked with Garret and he was so patient and kind. He asked what we like and I thought I was being complicated when I came back with “ Well I like steak, it's my mom's bday ad she wants lobster mac & cheese but my fiance loves tacos” without missing a beat he sent me a two station option. One with a beef tenderloin, lobster mac, veggies, and rolls and the other was a decked out taco bar! It was perfect and had something for everyone and the food was AMAZING! I could not ask for more! ALSO I was able to stock my own bar and Zest provided the bartenders. These lovely humans were so great from

Hannah & Zest: Thank you!!

Where to begin?! We were probably a caterer's worst nightmare: A switched wedding date due to COVID-19, a switch from stations to plated dinner for safety, a complete reworking of the menu (...twice), differing food opinions between parents and the couple --- you name it, we had it.

And through it all, Hannah was an absolute rock. She adjusted and readjusted, made an absolutely perfect menu, and, the night of (and beyond!), everyone was absolutely raving about the food. (Get the grits; seriously. You won't regret it.) She provided an additional appetizer because she knew it was my husband's favorite, she created our own specialty drink at the last minute, she modeled a menu based on our favorite restaurant, and so much more. She went above and beyond with everything, and the end product was absolute perfection.

And, a final note: I'm not a bride who loved planning -- I found it incredibly stressful and difficult. Hannah provided so much more than food; she was a calming, collected presence who I'm personally so glad could be a part of our wedding day. My husband and I will sing Zest's (and Hannah's!) praises from the rooftops!

Great Service, Great Food

The Zest team did a great job catering our wedding. The food was delicious, and there was plenty of it! All staff on-site was super friendly and professional. My personal favorite touch was the popcorn machine - I was thrilled to find out that Zest could provide their own. We loved the extra touch of sending us home with a bag of leftovers.

My one lament is that we missed out on in-person planning and tasting with Zest thanks to the pandemic. We ended up having to do a take-home tasting, which was quite well done. All of our food was packaged up neatly and included instructions for heating up and preparing. Even though we couldn't do the tasting in person, Zest made the experience special and easy for us.

Thanks to the entire Zest team!

Hire them!! The best

We booked Hannah and her team in January 2020 and ended up having a small backyard wedding before our big celebration in April of 2021. Hannah catered my birthday, backyard wedding, big celebration in April and brunch the next day! We will continue to use Zest for every big celebration we have because they were truly a joy to work with!! The food is amazing (of course) and Hannah even came up with the name of our punch! They truly care so much about the couples and I would highly recommend them to anyone!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
