An Ann Arbor Classic!

Bryan and his team did an absolutely fantastic job catering our wedding of ~130 people. It’s Zingerman’s, so obviously the food was incredible (short rib, to die for…), and the service was efficient and highly professional. Bryan was easy to communicate with and accommodating of all of our requests throughout the process. He organized the service day of like a conductor and our guests were served timely, with hot food. Their staff wore masks appropriately, to make everyone feel even more comfortable. Highly recommend!

You cannot go wrong with Zingerman's Catering

We used Zingerman's Catering for our wedding at the Black Barn & Vineyard in Jackson and they were AMAZING. From the tasting all the way to the big day, Terra and the staff at Zingerman's Catering were absolutely the best. The food was exceptional and we had VERY happy guests. We were also able to do fun late night snacks like popcorn and pretzels with pimento cheese, which was an absolute delight. My husband's favorite were the Italian meatball appetizers -- he made sure to snatch as many as he could! Terra went above and beyond in helping us with both our wedding and sending a special something to one of our beloved family members who was not able to attend our wedding. She also brought us both a plate of appetizers during cocktail hour to ensure we didn't miss them! She was so thoughtful and kind! We also loved how the staff put away our leftovers in takeaway tins, each labeled with what food was inside and labeled and packed in a bag. They even packed us some cake slices, even though we bought the cake from a different baker. Communication was a breeze and we knew we were in good hands. We were so thrilled to have Zingerman's Catering for our wedding and they did not disappoint.

Professional, Organized, and DELICIOUS for our wedding.

Zingerman's Catering and Events absolutely blew us away with their professionalism, organization, and execution. The team went above and beyond to elevate our backyard wedding into a magical soiree. Our guests are still talking about the lemon mint couscous and the macaroni&cheese. Stephanie worked with me for a whole year on the menu, linens, bar service, and even the event layout. She was invaluable to creating the reception I had in mind. The day-of staff was full of smiles, helpful, and professional. Thank you to Stephanie, her team, and Zingerman's for exceptional food and service.

We are so happy we used Zingerman's Catering! The food was AMAZING and Stephanie was wonderful to work with - the tasting was so much fun, and she helped guide us through the menu-planning process, making sure we didn't end up with too much or too little. She was professional and easy-going, as were all of the staff that helped out the day-of. We had a family-style first-course, but a buffet dinner, and felt everything went very smoothly and efficiently!

Our experience with Zingerman's was amazing. Alyce was so friendly from the beginning. When she originally drew our wedding cake at the consultation, I could see our vision come to life. It turned out to be both a gorgeous and a delish cake. We told everyone about the amazing cake that we were going to have for months before the wedding, and it did not disappoint. The quality of the cake and the decorations were absolutely amazing. I called later and worked out a grooms cake and she was able to take my vision and turn it in to a piece of art. We are so thankful for the beauty that Zingerman's was able to add to our day. I would highly recommend them for their quality, customer service, and for the competitive price point.

Zingerman's Catering was INCREDIBLE. We love the Zingerman's family of businesses, but even aside from that bias, Zingerman's Catering & Events went above and beyond to make our wedding perfect. From our tasting, to our family wedding luncheon, our incredible dinner, and our delicious desserts, every part of our day was perfect! They even worked with us on different food allergy difficulties. And the price was so reasonable for what we received! I highly, highly recommend them!

We used Zingerman's Catering for our food, and also Zingerman's Bakehouse for our wedding cake! Everything was absolutely perfect! I can't say enough good things about Zingerman's. We had the Piri Piri Chicken and Vegetable Tagine for our entrees. Everyone LOVED the food, and raved about the appetizers as well. We also had them serve apple cider and donuts (which we purchased and brought), and they also made an assortment of infused waters. They did a fantastic job and everyone commented on how AWESOME the food was! If you want perfect customer service and delicious food, go with Zingerman's!

I would give Zingerman's 6 stars if I could! Not only were their brownie bites a big hit, but the coordinators I worked with were extremely friendly, responsive and went the extra mile to make things easier on us - we sent them the packaging for the favors and printed stickers and they packaged everything up for us, tied the ribbons and had them sent directly to our reception venue 2 days prior to the wedding!
