Wedding Caterers in Grand Rapids

They catered our small weddings a few days ago and it was absolutely amazing! They not only did an perfect job for the food and wine pairings but also helped set up our dessert table afterwards.

We used Pigs Eatin' Ribs to cater our wedding welcome/rehearsal dinner at Depot Beach Pavilion. They brought the food truck to us and served up an absolutely delicious spread! People told us they liked the novelty of the food truck and we had numerous people tell us how much they enjoyed the food! The service was fast and friendly as well. Booking the vendor went smoothly. They clearly answered any questions we had in a timely manner (few days at the most). They were pretty laid back and easily accommodated our requests for vegetarian meals, etc. They have done this enough that nothing seems to phase them! When we did the tasting, even the vegetarian option (black bean tacos) was incredibly tasty! The die hard meat-eaters in the group even noted they enjoyed it! I had originally thought the name and type of food were a little too casual and plain for a wedding, but I'm so glad we looked into them further! The food is top notch and delicious! We will be making a pit stop there any time we are up that way! If you are in the area (regardless of whether you are looking for a caterer), do yourself a favor and stop by!!

We finally were able to celebrate our daughter and son-in-law’s Covid wedding with a post-Covid reception. It was a great opportunity for our extended family and friends to celebrate in person. We couldn’t have been more pleased. The reception was in a county park and the Picnic Style menu with on-site grilling and the chicken and pork chops were delicious and juicy; the vegetables freshly hand prepared; the corn bread a perfect accompaniment. Everything was great and we received many positive comments on the food…in fact I think the meat was the best I have had. We also had vegetarian guests and they appreciated the special entrees prepared for them. The detail for pre and post event coordination (menu decisions, counts, payments, etc.) helped keep us on track and left the day of the reception for us to enjoy. I would heartily recommend The Catering Company.

I would highly recommend Distinctive Catering. The customer service was outstanding...all questions were answered quickly and thoroughly in the days leading up to the wedding. The day of the wedding was wonderful with the staff friendly and professional. We went with the buffet and the food was delicious and hot. In fact, we still get comments from those who attended saying it was the best food they have had at a wedding. The dessert bar was also very delicious. We have absolutely no complaints but instead the highest of praise for this company! We would absolutely use them again!

My spouse and I got married Oct 2024. We had Above and Beyond cater our reception and oh my lord the food. Everyone couldn't stop saying how great it was. Everything was awesome. You'd think getting buffet style pot roast it'd be dry, right? Absolutely not. Melted in your mouth tender. My biggest regret from the reception was not getting more food for myself with everything going on.

We had City BBQ cater our wedding and could not have been happier with the experience! From the very beginning, their team was a dream to work with—communicating early and often, answering all our questions, and making sure every detail was covered well in advance of the big day. The food itself was absolutely incredible. Our guests raved about it—many even told us it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and served right on time. The team handled setup and service seamlessly, which made everything stress-free for us. If you’re considering City BBQ for your event, do it—you’ll be in great hands and your guests will thank you!

We used 2020 for our wedding and I am so glad we did. They came recommended from other family gatherings we had them do. The food was amazing, Terrin and Lainey were punctual and responded in a timely manner each time I had a question. They were upfront with costs and no hidden fees which I have found other caterers do. They also gave us the left overs which I have talked to other places and they don't "allow" you to take food home. The staff was amazing serving the meal and I liked how they had an option of servers or just a drop off and pick up if you are trying to save money. Thank you again!!

We are so thankful for Gators for catering our beautiful wedding. Everything was perfect. The food was delicious and hot! Service was spectacular. Communication was excellent. We are so thankful!! If you are looking for excellent quality bbq and other delicious food for your party or event go with Gators Grill! You will not be disappointed.

Semifreddo was a fantastic dessert choice for our daughter’s wedding. Our guests enjoyed the flavor choices along with a dairy free option. Our family and friends are still talking about how delicious it was. Added bonus, the dessert cart was a stylish addition to the reception. The owners of Semifreddo were easy to work with and quick to answer any questions. Planning your daughter’s wedding can feel overwhelming, they made the dessert part stress free. We would definitely work with them again.

We hosted our rehearsal dinner at Schuler’s Pub for our February wedding, and we truly could not have imagined a better place to kick off our wedding weekend. From the first interaction to the final toast, everything about our experience was exceptional. Elizabeth was an absolute joy to work with. She was incredibly responsive via email—always prompt, clear, and thorough in answering our many questions. On top of that, she met with us multiple times in person to walk through everything, which gave us so much peace of mind. She took the time to understand our vision for the evening and was so flexible and accommodating throughout the entire planning process. One of the things that impressed us most was how Schuler’s handled our décor. We brought in our own decorations, and not only were they completely open to it—they offered to and did set everything up for us on the day of the event. It was such a relief to know that we could focus on enjoying time with our family and friends without worrying about those last-minute details. Elizabeth also went over the full layout with us ahead of time so we knew exactly what to expect, and everything was executed exactly as discussed. The private space in the back of the pub was perfect—spacious yet cozy, with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The highlight was the beautiful fireplace, which created the perfect winter ambiance for our February celebration. The food was, as always, fabulous. We’ve eaten at Schuler’s before and knew the quality was great, but they somehow outdid themselves for the rehearsal dinner. Everything came out hot, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Our guests are still talking about how good the meal was! Another standout was how accommodating they were with allergies and dietary restrictions. We had guests with specific food needs, and the staff was so understanding and flexible, making sure everyone felt comfortable and taken care of. It’s not always easy to find that level of attention to detail, and we were very grateful. A huge bonus: Schuler’s has hotel rooms right upstairs, which made things even easier for our out-of-town guests. Overall, we cannot recommend Schuler’s highly enough for a rehearsal dinner—or any private event. The service, food, atmosphere, and organization were top-notch, and Elizabeth made us feel completely taken care of every step of the way. It was the perfect beginning to our wedding weekend, and we’ll always be grateful to the Schuler’s team for helping make it so special.
