    Above and beyond

    Linzey was my day of coordinator from Carsons and she was AMAZING!! She went above and beyond to make up for problems caused by other vendors. She was reassuring and very in control of her part. My food was amazing and everything on Carson’s side went off without a hitch.

    3 weeks later, while attending another wedding we were still getting compliments on our food.

    Wonderful job

    Carson’s did an amazing job catering our wedding. We were very pleased with the tastings we had prior to the wedding and how well they listened to all the changes we wanted and perfected our menu.
    The onsite team was very good. They were polite and great at clearing the tables, serving, and packing all the food up at the end of the night. Lindsey was our onsite coordinator and she was incredible to work with. She came out to the venue a couple days prior to the wedding and went over all last minute details, putting our minds at ease that everything would go smoothly. We also had Carson’s provide a bartender that did a wonderful job.
    We chose Carson’s because they’re food was very good and it broke the strain of traditional boring wedding food. They have exciting, different food options paired with excellent service and we couldn’t have been happier with our decision to have them be part of our special day!

    Superb Catering Service

    Carson's catered our wedding, and their service was perfect. They have a variety of customizable packages to choose from and offer the capability to supply linens, drink ware, and flatware. They were highly responsive and answered all of our questions leading up to the big day. They even let us return for an extra tasting -- we had a hard time choosing from all of the food because it was so great. We received a lot of compliments from our guests saying how delicious the food was. Lauren captained our wedding, and she couldn't have been easier to work with. She made sure all of my last minute details were accounted for. Their whole team was wonderful. Great food, great price, great service, great team. Thanks, Carson's!

    Amazing food and amazing staff

    Carsons was great to work with. They were very professional and they do an outstanding job with allowing you to customize your menu/package to best fit what you want. The staff was amazing to work with as well. They were very pleasant and did a great job decorating the tables and a few other items. Communication was great leading up to the wedding. We definitely recommend Carsons for your event/wedding.

    Carsons could not have been better! The food quality and service was great. Tommy and his team, Zoe,Dorothea and David were on top of every detail. They even arranged our cookies and donuts. They were very kind and friendly. I strongly recommend Carsons.

    Carson's Premier Catering provided me with the wedding of my dreams! The Barn at Ligonier was the perfect venue for my ceremony and reception. The entire experience was wonderful. From the first phone call, to my last hug with the staff, I felt like we became family.

    The crew was attentive and catered to our every need before and during the wedding. The food was OUTSTANDING. I am still receiving compliments from our guests. I couldn't have been more happy.

    Charity was excellent to work with throughout the entire wedding. She contacted me the week of my wedding to go over everything which was great. It reassured me of all of our details!

    I would recommend Carson's to anybody. The communication is great & I felt like I could call or email Tim or Kelli with anything. It's a great family business that pays attention to details and is absolutely professional. I certainly gained friendships from this experience!

    My husband and I got married this May and we had our wedding at West Overton Village with Carson's as our caterer. We were beyond pleased with them! Dana was great with anytime I had questions before our wedding. The tasting was wonderful and I loved how we were able to bring our parents and try other foods we were interested in from their menu! We loved the different menu that we were able to pick so that it wasn't your typical chicken/meat entree you expect at most weddings. We got buttermilk fried turkey breast, halupki, feta and roasted tomato Mac and cheese (may be my fav!). What I loved even more was that they were able to do family style for our wedding like we wanted---and boy was it all a huge hit with our guests! Tommy was our wedding coordinator. He was so friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and super prompt! We couldn't have been happier with him-he definitely helped make the weekend of and day go so smoothly.
    Overall, we would highly recommend them and got so many compliments. We also thought it was so caring of them to give us a personalized gift basket from them on our wedding day.
    Thank you Carsons!!

    We used Carson's for our wedding in November and they were a joy to work with! We had a buffet with multiple entrees and sides - which were all delicious. Their service was excellent and well received. We would recommend Carson's to any couple looking for good quality service at a good price!

    So extremely happy with Carson's. They we're extremely friendly, quick with their responses, and so patient with me and all my questions. I had my wedding at West Overton barn in Scottdale, Pa and the first time I went to tour the venue it was January of 2016 and there was snow on the ground and it was freezing out and Dana came out to open the barn and show me around and didn't once complains about being cold. The second time we went about a year later it was again cold and not a word was said! Beulah was the main lady I dealt with and she was super friendly all the time and very helpful. The day of the wedding was great, the staff was amazing and helped with last minute decorations such as lights being turned on and stuff, and the food was so good! We got tons of compliments from guests. And at the end of the night the staff gladly cleaned up my decorations and set them on a table so I could easily pick them up the next day and they wer all so happy and cheerful and full of smiles and nice things to say! Definite recommendation!! And West Overton Village is a beautiful spot for a wedding :) :)

    Carson's did an awesome job catering our wedding reception. Our venue was about 1.5 hours away from their restaurant and we were concerned about the food but it was cooked perfectly with no issues. Their staff was super professional and they helped us with last minute details on the decorations and such and I had many comments from friends and family about how easy going they were to work with and request things from. They didn't have any hidden fees and the price was what we expected. We would use them again for a large party caterer!

    Taylor: Over the two years that we planned a wedding they truly became like family to Sean, my mom, and myself. Tim and Kris are the most amazing business owners I have ever met. Beulah who works for them is also an amazing asset to their company. Every time I called with questions or concerns Beulah was always there to talk! And Tommy who was our event coordinator was absolutely fantastic! He was always able to be found throughout the night and assisted us with everything we needed. It was a pleasant experience working with Carson’s from the first day of walking in to the barn to the last day walking out of the barn during our send-off. If I can give any bride any advice…. It would be to book your wedding with Carson’s Catering. It will be the best decision you will make while planning a wedding and it will be a memory you will cherish forever! You will truly have your fairy tale wedding when having a wedding with Carson’s Catering.
    Sean: Watching my wife’s face light up as we drove in to our wedding is something I will never forget. She truly walked in to her fairy tale wedding! Carson’s truly made her the happiest bride and in return made me a very happy groom. We danced the night away with all of our closest family and friends in what turned out to be the best day of our lives thanks to Carson’s Catering.
    The vision that we had written down with paper and pencil had turned out to be better than we could have ever imagined. We could barely hold back our emotions when we walked into our wedding when being introduced. There was attention to detail in everything that they had set up for us and made it even more beautiful than we had imagined. We cannot thank them enough for making our wedding not only unforgettable but also one of the most beautiful events of our lives. We would highly recommend Carson’s catering for your wedding. They truly deserve a million stars for excellence! Our guests continue to talk about how amazing and unique our wedding was.

    Carson's did an unbelievable job at our wedding September 10th, 2016. We had a very untraditional wedding at our family farm and Bethany at Carson's made everything run so smooth for us before, during, and after the big day. The owner was in close contact with me as well and even came to our venue prior to the wedding to make sure everything was going well and addressed all our questions and concerns. We had numerous compliments on the food because it was absolutely delicious! We even had most of our guests go up for seconds! Carson's packaged up any left overs and placed it in the refrigerator for us to enjoy for the next few days! Would highly recommend Caron's!!!!

    we had the best experience at West Overton barn with carsons! I had several little extras that I wanted set up in my decor and they handled everything for me. my coordinator, Tom, was very present and avvaliable.for any questions I had no matter what time. I had such amazing feedback from our guests about how amazing the food was!!! I couldn't have asked for a better experience and how perfect everything turned out from how they set up my decor to the food and esp how they were so attentive during the ceremony I felt like I was completely hands off the entire time and was able to enjoy every moment instead of worrying about anything! thank you guys for giving us such a special and memorable day!

    If you need a catering service, hire Tim and his staff. The food is excellent, the cost is reasonable, and the staff is amazing. He handled both our son's wedding and rehearsal dinner, and everything was perfect. We do not have one negative thing to say about the entire planning process and events.

    Carson's Premier Catering's reply:

    Sue,

    We absolutely loved the entire experience with you and your family! The venue was amazing, the guests were great, and Chris and Chelsea were a gorgeous couple!

    Excellent food and service and my family is very particular. I have worked in the entertainment business for 22 years and when our daughter and fiance~ asked where to hold their wedding and ceremony at - there were no questions where to look. All of the staff were professional and helpful-going way beyond expectations!!!!!!!!! The best wedding ever several of our guests have told us and these were unsolicited remarks !!!!!! Delicious food and a beautiful venue and reasonably priced - we could't have asked for anything more!!!!!!!!! HIRE THEM - YOU WILL BE PLEASED.

    Carsons catering did an exceptional job with our wedding. We held our wedding at The Barn at Ligioner Valley. The food was fantastic and we received many compliments from our guests.

    Besides the excellent food we also received wonderful service. Beulah and Nikki were fantastic. What really stood out to me was that Carsons assigned a day of coordinator to our wedding, for us this was Nikki. I can't speak more highly of her. The whole week before the wedding Nikki was always available with any questions or concerns I possibly had. She was truly great and was truly a great help. Between Beulah and Nikki you can tell what a strong emphasis Carsons puts on customer service. This is definitely helps planning any wedding so much easier! We will definitely keep them in mind for future events!

    Outstanding!! Carson's catered our wedding on May 14, 2016 in Short Gap WV at the Daydream venue. The day prior, Tommy came out to deliver our table cloths and set things up which was a huge help with seeing how things would be. The day of our wedding, the whole team (Tommy, Nikki, Sharon, and Ashley) went above and beyond our expectations. Every one of our guests raved about how great the food tasted and how they were "on top of everything". We can't thank them enough for making our wedding day so special. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone....Thanks again!!!!

    Our wedding reception (14 May 16) was a major success solely due to the outstanding owner (Tim) and staff (Tommy, Nikki, Sharon & Ashley). Their exceptional attention to detail and eagerness to ensure our special day was amazing enabled us to not have to worry about anything except each other. Every one of our guests have commented on how awesome Carson's Catering was and how amazing the staff and food was. I have and do recommend Carson's to anyone in need of Catering for any occasion!

    My husband and I were incredibly satisfied with the quality of food and service that Carson's Premier Catering provided for our wedding. The price was very reasonable and the staff was pleasant to work with. Plus they were very flexible with the menu and attentive to minor details that were important to us, such as preparing meals for guests with dietary restrictions. We had multiple guests come up to us at the wedding and say that the food was the best they have ever had at a wedding reception before. During the wedding reception and after dinner, Tim Carson personally came up to both my husband and I and asked us individually how the food was and if we were satisfied with the service. The fact that he took the time to be sure that we were pleased with our meals was very thoughtful and showed us that he really cares about delivering quality food and experience to his clients. We appreciate very much all the hard work and attention to detail that Tim and the staff provided for us. Plus, the food was AMAZING. I would highly recommend this caterer to anyone and I will not hesitate to use them again for another event in the future.
