    The Best Wedding Caterer PERIOD

    Wade is a treasure! My husband and I hired ABC for our October 2020 wedding and were blown away by Wade's customer service and afforable prices. He strives to make every couple happy and is the most reasonably priced place in town by far.

    When my husband and I were initially looking for caterers they were all charging between 15-25% "gratuity" and "service fees" on top of the expensive meals, we were disenfranchised to say the least. But then we met Wade and his transparency, friendly demeanor, affordable prices, and commitment to provide quality was unmatched.

    We are so happy we chose Wade and ABC. I highly recommend Wade to anyone planning an event. My husband and I look forward to working with ABC in the future!

    Most Personable & Reasonable Caterer in MN!

    Wade is one of the easiest and nicest people I’ve worked with in a very very long time. His craftsmanship over food is really something special. He is both personable and caring and was the perfect fit for our wedding day. The greatest part of working with him is being treated like an old friend. He is true to his word on being affordable and doesn’t sacrifice quality in delivering that promise. It was truly a pleasure working with them and I would recommend him to anyone. I look forward to working with him on other events in the future!

    Pick Affordable Best Catering!

    Affordable Best Catering was the first caterer that we checked out for our wedding and the last. We were so impressed with Wade. He honestly has such affordable options and so many options to choose from! All of our guests absolutely loved his creation and so did we. We went with the wild rice stuffing stuffed chicken breasts, fresh green beans, garden salad, and mashed potatoes with gravy. Highly recommended! He made sure that everything stayed hot even on a cold October evening. We would be honored to work with him again in the future. Sincerely, Kelly Jarvis

    Great food and great price!!

    We had pasta, bread and salad for our wedding reception. Everyone loved the food! Wade and his team were so nice, flexible and easy to work with. He worked within our budget and gave us great food at the best price I have seen from a wedding caterer. We paid $11 per guest and he brought extra food just to make sure that we would not run out. The leftovers were great to have too.

    Wade and his team are amazing. Very affordable food and super delicious. Everyone at my reception could not stop talking about how amazing the food was. The staff was so kind and even bought me my first drink! I would never go anywhere else for catering! Wade even dropped my leftovers to me at my house which I appreciate a lot!!

    Affordable Best Catering completely exceeded my expectations, can I give more than 5 star?! We had a super small budget (like $450 small for about 150 guests), and to be honest, I was completely expecting them to say that we didn't meet a minimum. To my surprise, Wade was absolutely accommodating and said that he can make any budget work. After talking about our options, we did brats, baked beans, chips, pasta salad, and brownies for $450. He showed up exactly at the time he said, and came to pick up the items when he said he would too. In this kind of business, I've grown to expect that things don't go the way they're supposed to, and so when Wade was completely transparent from beginning to end, and actually did EVERYTHING he said he would, I was overjoyed!!

    Believe me, when you're planning your wedding, people will promise you the moon but then suddenly everything you talked about wasn't "written down" or "recorded". Wade doesn't pull any of that crap, and when you just want to focus on your event, you want someone who will do EXACTLY what was agreed on. Wade and his team WILL do exactly that, and I value that highly as a customer. I will not be exploring any other catering options except Affordable Best Catering for all of my future catering needs, and that's a promise.

    I absolutely recommend Affordable Best Catering! Wade was so wonderful to work with. He is down-to-earth and flexible. I had researched and contacted numerous caterers prior to ABC and was pleasantly surprised when I spoke with Wade. The prices truly are affordable. The food was incredible. We had numerous comments from guests about how much they liked the meal.

    Amazing! I just had my wedding on 8/15/15 and Wade was phenomenal. The food was great EVERYONE commented and said how this was the BEST wedding food they have ever had! He was on time, fast, set the food up beautifully, and was very professional. Wade and his crew cleared all the dishes and had no problems at all. He is super caring I couldn't of asked for a better caterer. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    Absolutely blown away. We had a catering dilemma less than a week away from our wedding that had 250 guests. I found Affordable Best Catering online and checked out their website. Contacted Wade and he was so pleasant and helpful on the phone. He said that the date was open and he would love to help us. We went for a quick tasting and the food was amazing. And it was by far the least expensive option that we looked into. His staff was prompt, courteous, well-mannered and well-dressed, and took care of every detail for us. Wade and his crew came through in a pinch and we will forever be grateful for his service and help. We highly recommend Affordable Best Catering not only for the delicious food, but for the staff, the presentation, and the price! Thanks Wade!!!!!!!

    Everyone at my reception kept commenting on how much they LOVED the food! You would be hard pressed to find anywhere else that would provide you with the same quality, affordability, and attention to detail as Affordable Best Catering. It was very difficult for me to find a caterer that wouldn't add $2.50 extra per plate for having a guest list of under 50 people or one that would create a menu to my exact specifications--but Affordable Best Catering exceeded my expectations by giving me the most bang for my buck and food that my guests raved about.

    The food was fantastic. They were able to set up and take down very fast. The owner was very helpful. He was able to get somethings that we had forgotten to bring. He made us feel very at ease about everything and went above and beyond.

    Wade provides EXCELLENT, simple catering at an affordable rate. He doesn't hide any costs, is willing to negotiate with you on dishes and prices, and is very flexible with planning!

    I had Wade cater both my 'grooms dinner' and my wedding reception, and both were fantastic. We had a great Fettucini Alfredo with Chicken, a salad, and great garlic bread for the grooms dinner (which was for about 30 people... he brought more than enough food!), and a great 'thanksgiving' style dinner for my reception: Turkey, stuffing, cheesy potatoes (special request by me!), mashed potatoes, bread rolls, corn, cranberry sauce, and punch.

    If you're looking for good, homestyle food, with simple, great service, Wade's the guy to go to.

    Very friendly, and consults everything with the bride! I couldn't of found a better caterer. He is willing to work in your budget and tries to accommodate you! If I had other people that I knew were getting married I would certainly give him the business! We have not had our wedding yet, but when we did our taste testing, I am sure it will be great for our wedding as well.

    We have boxed lunches brought in to our company for training events. Wade does a great job every time. The quality of the food and the quantity of food is great! We feed mostly men and there are leftovers. Attendees have even commented on how good the food is.

    My child's daycare is catered by affordable catering and I have never seen anything like it. Food that was packaged was past the expiration and some of the packages were open and half used. The food was unrecognizable by sight and taste. Wade should be ashamed pawning his old leftover food on children.
