Better than we ever could have dreamed!

Amazing! This incredible team catered our wedding in the woods with a delicious cookout. They were so kind, and worked so incredibly hard. Thanks to them, dinner was easier than I could have ever imagined, and everyone was RAVING about the hot dogs! Very accommodating with a variety of dietary needs, excellent bar service, delicious cake and cupcakes. I couldn't find something to complain about if I tried! If you're looking for a caterer on the west side of MI, they are the ones you want, hands down!

Stay Excellent, CC Inc!

I work at Rosebud, a popular wedding venue here in Grand Rapids. It is ALWAYS a pleasure when we get to work with Catered Creations. Not only is their food is excellent, but their staff and service are outstanding! They are always positive and professional despite working with a very small catering space, and I find that they are always willing to lend a hand when a problem arises that isn't necessarily in their job description. I am quick to recommend them to all my couples that need a caterer as I just think they are the bees knees. Shout to Jamin who I have worked with several times and has always just been the absolute best! Thanks team!

Fantastic food & Service

Catered Creations catered our Reception and it was fabulous. We ordered hummus, cheese plate, meatballs and bacon wrapped dates for appetizers and we ordered the Ancho chili chicken, brisket, mixed vegetables and a side salad + rolls. Amazing service and the food was fantastic. Very happy with their covid preparedness as well.

I loved working with Catered Creations for my wedding! They made everything so easy for us and were willing to customize in certain areas too. I had a brunch vision in my mind and they executed it perfectly. Everyone raved about our food all day!

Amazing price with even better food!

Catered Creations was absolutely the best choice for our wedding! The staff was easy to get in touch with, communicated quickly and always professional. They really made sure to listen to all the details we gave them. The food was the BEST! We had pumpkin tortellini and grilled chicken breast with homemade BBQ sauces for our buffet entrees. All of our guests raved about the food! Many people asked for recipes! Staff at the reception were courteous and constantly rounding to pick up dirty dishes or refill food. Someone even made a plate for me so I didn’t have to worry about it! The price point was the most reasonable I’ve found. They do charge to upgrade from basic plates/utensils but there are plenty of upgrade options and all of them were reasonably priced as well. I can’t recommend this company more!

Exceptional!!!

If you want a flawlessly executed catering operation you need to hire Catered Creations Inc. My husband and I had a full day long wedding (10:30 am-11:00 pm) with two ceremonies (a Hindu ceremony and Christian ceremony). Patti and her team catered the evening dinner and I just have to say- the moment they got there was the moment I was actually able to enjoy my wedding because I knew things were getting taken care of. Patti is absolutely exceptional. One of the best moments of the day for many, many guests was standing up after our ceremony and seeing the catering staff there waiting for us with our signature cocktails and appetizers. The idea was genius and saved our guests a long wait at the bars for their first drink. Allie was so helpful throughout the entire process and incorporated all of my wishes and suggestions. All throughout the evening, catering staff approached me and made sure that I had what I needed. It was so extremely thoughtful. They really understood our vision for the day and were on top of every detail. I honestly believe my wedding would not be as great as it was if not for them. MAJOR thank you!!

Catered Creations made our day one to remember. The food was outstanding, delicious, phenomenal.... those were just our guest responses. I’ve worked with Patti and Gary before in the past and they never disappoint. They have their craft down to a science. No one went without and their staff was very attentive and professional. Would use them again hands down. Thanks Catered Creations for helping us on our wedding day!!!

Awesome Wedding Catering

Amazing food, amazing service, great value. Highly attentive on the wedding weekend, and executed every detail perfectly. We literally had nothing to worry about with these guys. The meal was spectacular, and the presentation was amazing. Even though we didn't get to try the food in advance, we knew we were in good hands and all expecations were exceeded.

Catered Creations was the best choice of our wedding!! My guests raved all night about how amazing it all was! We had the mashed potato bar - delicious! We then had three stations - fajitas, pasta and sliders and they were a HIT! The staff was great, very helpful and very flexible when we asked to change the times around some on the day of. They also made us pre-made breakfast for our brunch in the morning. Patti was very responsive to email throughout the process leading up to our big day. I can’t say enough great things about this company!

I'm so glad that we chose Catered Creations to provide the food for our 08/25/17 wedding! All of our guests are still raving about how good the food was!! We couldn't be more satisfied with the quality food and service that we received! The owner, Patti, is such a genuine, sweet lady and truly cared about making our wedding day awesome! She sat down with us and went over all of the options and details, which I appreciated because I had no idea what I was doing! There is no option better than Catered Creations!

Catered Creations was AMAZING!!!! You went over and above and completely blew our expectations out of this world. Seriously!! The day was hot, humid, windy and we had a couple huge rain storms that led right up to the wedding ceremony. It was sideways raining in buckets as our guests were arriving - they took cover inside the barn and under the tent. We postponed the wedding 10 minutes (because radar showed it was going to clear) and sure enough the rain stopped and we had a beautiful ceremony and reception!!

Even with all our guests - 264 - lots of them!!, trying to stay dry in the barn - the staff managed to get dinner ready around us!! It could not have been easy!! The buffet lines were beautifully set up, the flowers were gorgeous, the staff was helpful and friendly, the food was out of this world and the service was perfect!! We seriously can not thank you enough or give you enough stars - from the tastings to the wedding, your company was first class!!

I recently had Catered Creations for my wedding at Witt's Inn and it was absolutely amazing! The staff was friendly and accommodating from start to finish. Having our venue in a barn, I was worried we'd run into problems- but both the staff at Witt's Inn and Catered Creations were SO amazing to work with and both teams truly worked to make my wedding day perfect. We were able to incorporate our favorite beer into the Brisket AND had a delicious vegan option for my husband. So many guests said it was the best wedding food they have ever had. So extremely happy with how amazing everything was! I would recommend Catered Creations to anyone looking for delicious food and great service!

We recently worked with Catered Creations for our rehearsal dinner and wedding and honestly cannot praise Sales Director, Patti Zylstra, chef, Janell Mitchell, and the professional staff enough. We had high expectations and everyone involved in the planning, preparation, execution, and serving of our wedding absolutely exceeded our expectations on every level. Our goal was to plan a sophisticated picnic at our home combining our Polish and Appalachian heritage – with locally sourced ingredients. Patti and Chef Janell listened to us, presented excellent choices, gladly took our suggestions, and presented a menu that appealed to everyone. Guests were visibly and audibly thrilled with every aspect of the presentation, food, service, and Patti’s presence and management of the evening. Patti was so accommodating and organized – she even contacted our florist to make sure everything was coordinated. From the passed hors d-oeuvres and charcuterie boards to the creative and delicious main courses (the brisket and porchetta were over the top,) to the local fruit pies for dessert (in lieu of a wedding cake,) everything was perfect. I know, nothing is perfect, but our experience with Catered Creations was, well as close as we’ve ever come with any service provider. We would recommend them to anyone, anytime. #fabulouscaterer

Patti and her team at Catered Creations, Inc were so wonderful to work with for our We Still Do summer wedding in Southwest, MI. She was so flexible throughout the entire process as we planned our entire day from out-of-state. Not only did she help keep everything within our budget, but she also provided some great suggestions to our menu that we would have never thought of otherwise! My mom, who is quite the picky eater, was able to attend the taste testing event for us in Michigan and had only great things to say about the food and service. When it came to the day of of our wedding, everything went as planned and the food and service were just like my mom had described...AMAZING! I highly recommended Catered Creations, Inc as the caterer for your wedding or event!

Coming from the Chicagoland area, I will admit, when it comes to food my husband(!) and I are pretty picky, it just comes with the city living. That being said, we went to more caterers than I can count in the Southwest MI area looking for a caterer to live up to our expectations, and we honestly thought it wouldn't happen leaving us with subpar food. Then, on our last venture out before we either settled or payed the exorbitant prices that would be involved in hiring a Chicago caterer and getting them to travel, we came across Catered Creations. The sense of relief is something I can't explain. The food was great--if you're doing a fall, or really any season, wedding, I would highly recommend the root vegetable mash--and the prices were much more inline with what we were willing to work with. The ability to customize the food to your taste is a huge bonus, and I was thrilled that they took it upon themselves to dress up the tables to coordinate with our colors and theme. We did buffet style and they even had a server hold my plate and serve up the food for me so that there would be no chance to get it on my dress which I wasn't expecting at all. All in all, I'm so glad we went with them and can't say enough about how wonderful Patti and team were to work with!

Patti was fantastic and very easy to work with. We did a pig roast with a number of different sides and had a dessert bar with various bars, cupcakes and mini pies. They made a personal red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting that we cut. They also prepared a quinoa and vegetable stuffed portobello mushroom for our vegan guests, there were 2 extra that we got to try and they were very good! The food was fantastic and the staff very friendly and professional. Our guests also made positive comments about the food and staff. Catered Creations was great to work with and was fantastic on the day. Highly recommend them for any occassion!

My husband and I used Catered Creations for our wedding. We enjoyed the tasting we attended with my parents and their responses were quick to all of our questions. They arrived on time, everything was delicious and they made the experience wonderful for me and my husband. They did a great job of setting up the tables and buffet, cleaning up and making sure that we were completely satisfied. They even packaged the leftovers, labeled the containers and put them in the fridge for us. Everything was delicious, and we have no regrets about choosing their company.

We hired Catered Creations for our YMCA summer camp wedding and we received the best service and food quality we ever had. They were accommodating to customize our menu for a more middle eastern dish style.
I had the guests complimenting the food throught out our wedding and was told that "this was the best wedding meal i have ever had."
i highly recommend them for all occasions, you will not be disappointed.

I had a previous relationship with Catered Creations through my event coordinating at a previous job - I always worked with Chris for a lot of our events and she was always the sweetest person to talk to, was always excited about getting creative with the menu, and always came through on everything! I loved talking to her, and I knew that I wanted absolutely NO ONE else to do my wedding.

Catered Creations not only came through, but the food was just beyond outstanding!

Our reception venue had a specific caterer they used, so we had to pay extra to use Catered Creations - I was SO SO glad that I did. Every single person at my wedding raved about the food. Everything we ordered tasted wonderful! There were a few stand out dishes that got raved about though - the spinach salad was amazing! My husband and I debated on this salad, because he loves caesar salad so much, but I really pushed for the spinach and it did not disappoint - guests went on and on about it, and the poppy seed dressing was just insane. Who would have thought that a salad would be so talked about? Catered Creations has that affect. Also - the pork tenderloin with the pineapple chutney, the lemon herb chicken (grilled fresh on site), and the goat cheese pasta with roasted balsamic vegetables were winners according to everyone.

We also had a late night snack made from a recipe my father-in-law gave them, and we ran out of it because guests were eating it so fast (I didn't even get to try it, it was so popular!)

Chris and Patty were amazing. Chris personally got me all of my food and her and Patty checked in on all of our guests throughout the night. My mother was stressed and Chris saw that and waited on her personally so she could have a break. SO thoughtful!!

Honestly, the people are amazing and so is the food. Your wedding day is special and food is so important - If you want great pricing, service, food and the sweetest employees in the world, go with Catered Creations!

I'd like to start off by saying that the staff at Catered Creations were an absolute blessing to work with. They sincerely care about you and making your wedding day special! They were so accommodating to absolutely anything you could request. Patti, one of the owners, also offered us abundant information, ideas, and suggestions for almost every aspect of our wedding! It was great! And the food is phenomenal. We got so many compliments. I recommend the mashed potato bar for sure! :) Lots of options to choose from, they offer a food tasting, very flexible. Great catering company!

What a great job Catered Creations did on my daughters wedding. We had breakfast foods, I had so many complements. I had friends say it was the best wedding food they had ever had. Patti and her team will go that extra mile for you. They try to make as little work for the bride and her family as possible. Thanks so much for an amazing reception.

THE BEST!!! I'm so glad we found this place! When we booked The Cheney Place, they held a few different catering tasting events. It was a great way to sample many local caterers. Our favorite was Catered Creations. They do an amazing job. Everything we tasted was delicious, making it hard to choose our menu, not a bad thing! Patti was wonderful to work with and even helped us with reception ideas and timeline. They've been doing this for a long time, so we liked hearing their suggestions and advice.
The staff was very professional and friendly. The pricing was very reasonable.
Our reception dinner was great and we had so many complements. I just wish I could have eaten more of everything!

Everything on our wedding menu was delicious and our guests said it was the best food they have ever had at the wedding. For an appetizer we had the warm seafood dip which was a huge hit. For dinner some of the favorites were the Michigan Pot Roast, cosmo salad, and cornbread! It was nice that we were able to change our menu to fit "autumn" foods instead of a traditional white rolls and plain salads that many other vendors offer only. The service was great, the staff was very professional and the table settings looked great. We would definitely recommend Catered Creations!

My mother and I loved working with Patti and her amazing team. They helped us not only with the food and menu but also with details I wouldn't have even thought of. They were focused on the flow of the reception and making sure that food was hot until the last guest got their plate, they made sure we would have silverware even for dessert and making sure our guests had a hydration station post-meal. My husband and I had an attendant that waited on just us and she made sure that we had everything we needed (even found us a knife/server for cake cutting when we forgot). People continue to say that the food at our wedding was one of the highlights and the best food they have ever had at a wedding.

We also did pies for dessert and their pie display was incredible and went perfectly with our theme. The rush of guests to the pie bar was like nothing I'd ever seen...everyone loved them!

Patti was so professional and her experience really showed. She has pride in her crew and for good reason. I wish they had a restaurant so I could try all the food they make.

I have nothing but positive things to say about Catered Creations. They were recommended to me by a friend who had hired them for her wedding in June of 2012 and she had told me they provided excellent service and not only a great price, but some of the best wedding food she had ever had. I had had two bad experiences with some local caterers before emailing Patti at Catered Creations and thank goodness I got her name. She was so prompt to return all of my emails and answer all of my questions and the best part was how flexible she was able to be. My husband and I are vegetarian and it was very important to us to have delicious vegetarian food and not your run-of-the-mill overcooked eggplant parm. Patti made everything so easy and sat down with me to design the menu TOGETHER. She let me explain what I wanted and she created an amazing menu that had my mouth watering months before the wedding. I was really nervous to have an all vegetarian menu because most of my friends and family are not vegetarians and I anticipated some frustration from them when they found out I wouldn't be serving meat or fish. When it came to the wedding day I was completely blown away, I felt that Catered Creations went above and beyond to create a beautiful buffet table and the food was COMPLETELY AMAZING. Wedding food typically has a bad rap for being dry, being served in small portions or lacking in flavor and my only complaint with the food is that I was too full to go back for seconds and thirds- a feeling that my guests shared. We got so many compliments on our food by so many of our guests and even my dad, who is a true blue meat eater, was talking about the dinner for weeks after the wedding.

I really couldn't be happier with the whole experience from start to finish- the service blew me away and the food was even better. I would recommend Catered Creations to anyone in the area as a wedding caterer. The price is so right, and they are flexible and creative with their menus.

Patti and everyone at Catered Creations really did go above and beyond the call of duty for our reception. Patti was very, very patient with my endless questions. She always answered and even contacted me a few times to clarify that we were on the same page about our menu. We got to create an awesome menu that our guests loved, and Patti allowed us the freedom to customize certain items.

They were on time, the food was great (guests raved about the cornbread, stuffed mushrooms, and pig roast). And even helped replenish our dessert table, which took some stress off my mom. The cleanup was quick, servers were polite and helpful, and we received some great leftovers.

Patti and the crew at Catered Creations were AWESOME. Patti was super helpful in helping us choose our menu and the decor she provided for our catering table was spot on. The food was amazing! We had so many compliments, I heard a lot along the lines of "best wedding food I've ever had." We are so glad we decided to go with them! The crew was awesome too. We had an outdoor wedding, and after the cake-cutting (aka cake smashing into each others faces), her crew quickly helped me clean up with wet towels. I wasn't expecting that at all. This a great family run operation who provides amazing food and excellent service. We are so happy we went with them!

Catered Creations provides excellent service and wonderful food. They were very easy to work with, flexible with our dining service and excited to work with and add to our decor. The entire catering staff was friendly and worked efficiently. They are experienced caterers and it shows. After our first meeting (and taste testing) we knew we had nothing to worry about. Thank you!

Patti and Nate at Catered Creations Inc. were AMAZING! We honestly would recommend them to anyone having any kind of special event that needs catering. The food was DELICIOUS... everyone was complimenting the meal the entire night of our wedding. A friend even told me that he hated vegetables, but he couldn't stop eating the vegetables at our reception! The price was very good compared to other local vendors - and we are 100% satisified! Thanks for all your help in making our wedding so special! -Jamie and Jon-

Catered Creations, Inc. was fantastic to work with! Our wedding started late causing the events at the reception to be a bit rushed. The serving team was so flexible and worked with us, even though we had to change our serving plans a couple of times. The food was great. Thanks to Patty for all her help in planning a wonderful meal. She is fantastic to work with!!

Catered Creations did an excellent job for our daughter's wedding especially considering that they were able to accomodate us on extremely short notice after we lost our original caterer. Food was great and the service and presentation was very professional. A great company to work with and I highly recommend them!

Patti, Nate and all her staff were fantastic from beginning to end for my daughters wedding. She provided us a visit with her and a tasting and from then I knew that the food would taste delicious. Our guests raved about the food. I think that the catering decor "made" the wedding. Patti has been so helpful to my daughter with planning the food and co-ordinating with other elements of the wedding. I could not recommend Catered Creations more highly to all brides looking for a caterer for their wedding. We did not have to worry about a thing on the wedding day.

We were so blessed to find Patti and Nate for our reception! We were under tremendous stress with my father in law in end stage cancer. Patti helped us so much. With much more than food. How to arrange our reception site, what kind of wine to serve even though they were not providing it. Her experience is invaluable. I absolutley could not recommend Catered Creations more. Beyond INCREDIBLE service is even better food. A week later people are still calling me to tell me how much they loved it and ask for the name of the company. The staff at the reception.... I can't thank them enough for their kindness, good service and smiles throughout the night. A number of people commented that it was the type of outstanding customer service that seems to be a lost art these days. Patti, Nate and their team have it mastered! All of that and the very best pricing around. Amazing. Simply a blessing. Also worthy of mention is recommendation Patti gave us for wine and beer to go to Bellavinos Party Shoppe on Plainfield. David there was so helpful in finding the right wine and worked with us to make it all fit our budget. Just fantastic!

The servers were professional and nice, the food was extremely tasty and cooked to perfection. We chose a buffet service which was nicely set up. Overall, we couldn't be more happy with our decision to have Catered Creations cater our wedding.

Patti & Nate @ Catered Creations are a pleasure to work with. They did the MOST delicious on-site pig roast for my October wedding. The food, service, and organization was great. They are easy to work with, very helpful with planning, and very flexible which made my October outdoor pig-roast wedding a HIT!

Guests are still talking about how delicious it was. I highly recommend them for any event.

Catered Creations was hands down the best vendor we worked with at our wedding. Patti was so accommodating and the food was freaking amazing. We got married at a summer camp north of Kalamazoo, and Patti went out of the way to do a site visit the week before to scout the kitchen. The wedding day ended up being really hot, and the old camp building didn't have a/c, but Patti and her crew cooked up a storm and served away with smiles on their faces, despite the hot hot kitchen. And did I mention the food was amazing? Because it was awesome. I literally had one of my guests RUN (I do not exaggerate) away from me mid-conversation to chase down the passing platter of fried macaroni and cheese balls. All of the appetizers were great, and the dinner was awesome. I ate such a huge plate of food I had a hard time dancing at my own reception. But I couldn't help myself, everything was so good: pulled pork, black bean veggie burgers, cheesy green chile grits, THE CORNBREAD, root veggie salad, mashed potatoes, oh my.

We had a lot of vegetarians at our wedding and Catered Creations first stood out to us because they had so many great veggie options. Unlike most caterers that seemed to only offer a bland pasta dish as an alternative to meat, CC had choices that actually sounded good. We opted to do black bean veggie burgers with fresh avocado and coleslaw on pretzel buns. They were amazing.

Literally all of our guests came up to tell us how good the food was, especially the grits and the cornbread. And of course the strawberry rhubarb crisp (with vanilla ice cream) that they served for dessert. It was all great. They also made a bunch of pre-baked quiches and crisps for us to heat up the next morning to serve to our guests. It was just all around a great experience. Patti was super nice and professional, the food was delicious, and they have so much more to offer than your typical midwest caterer. So yes, book them!

Catered Creations catered by daughter's wedding at the Blue Dress Barn on July 25th. We were so happy with the job that Patti and Chris did. They prepared amazing appetizers immediately following the ceremony, and then set up 4 stations for dinner (salad, mac and cheese, bbq sliders, and fajitas). Our guests raved about the food - wonderful comfort food! Even though our venue presented challenges - such as not having an on-site kitchen or running water they could access - the appetizers and meals were amazing and hot! We especially loved the mac & cheese balls and mashed potato balls for appetizers and the bbq sliders and mac & cheese for stations!

Patti was a pleasure to work with and promptly responded to all of my questions and revisions. Her daughter, Samantha, also went above and beyond and delivered to my hotel the linen we had ordered so that we could have it early to decorate our venue.

We were able to sit back and enjoy an amazing day because Patti and her staff ran everything so smoothly - nothing ever ran out and dishes were cleared promptly. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Catered Creations and only wish I had taken more time to get another plate full of appetizers.

Thank you Patti and Chris!

Catered Creations provided superior service in a not so great weather situation....things had to be moved...compromises were made and every effort was made to have a stress free event. The food was fabulous and plentiful and our guests raved about it long after....so much so that our good friend booked her daughter's wedding and used Catered Creations as well. Thank you Catered Creations!

Patty was a pleasure to work with. I always felt like she had my daughter and her (now!) husband's best interests at heart. She worked with them to come up with a menu that suited their personalities. She also didn't try to "sell" them a package that they couldn't afford but worked with them, suggesting options to help them stay within their budget. Wonderful Christian family run business. I highly recommend them!

We chose Catered Creations because we loved their menu! They have lots of great options for food. Our guests were raving about the food! We choose to get dessert through them as well, which I recommend. We highly recommend the Honey Bird chicken and the cornbread. Overall, it was a great experience working with them.

Catered Creations did a fantastic job. We had so many compliments about the food and service starting with the salad right down the line to the dinner. Some said it was the best food they ever had a wedding. It was by chance that we were able to book this caterer just four months before a June wedding. Patti thank you so much for the wonderful service and food you and your staff provided for my daughter's wedding!

Catered Creations makes delicious food and displays it beautifully. Chris was so easy to work with, created things just for our group, and was very flexible for our needs. Sam, our server, was very attentive. We have used Catered Creations 2 yrs in a row for our Corporate Christmas Party. Will definitely use them again. Highly recommend.

I absolutely LOVED catered creations! The food was AMAZING, they worked with us on every detail and returned every single phone call! Totally professional and experienced! They even worked with us through a huge miscommunication and treated the situation as top importance. It was very encouraging to know that they were determined to make the food at my wedding perfect! They worked outside even though it was sprinkling also, which was very impressive.

The only bad thing I have to say is about the timing. They arrived at four to start setting up, my ceremony started at five, but dinner didn't start until seven. They left around eight. If I wanted them to stay any longer, I had to pay more money. So that means by the time the first guests wanted to get seconds, catered creations staff was already starting pack up. I didn't even get to eat much because they left so early. I wish that they would have stayed until nine so that guests could have gotten more food if they wanted.

We worked with Catered Creations for our wedding based on the recommendation of Post Family Farm, and they did an outstanding job! We attended two of their group tastings and were incredibly impressed with the quality and variety of food choices. Patti took considerable time to speak with me over the phone, and I felt that she truly cared about my specific requests and ideas. She and her team put together a delicious (and fun!) menu that included everything from a mac-and-cheese station with incredible toppings to a hot chocolate station with homemade marshmallows. They also worked hard to create a gluten-free, vegetarian main dish that was just delicious, and very much appreciated by guests with food restrictions. Her staff members were extremely professional and kind, and even helped me carry my plate back and forth since my hands were full with my dress! Whether you are interested in a fun variety of food stations, cozy family-style, a relaxed buffet, or a more formal served meal, Catered Creations will provide delicious food with outstanding quality and service for any event!

I highly recommend Catered Creations for your special event. We used them as our wedding caterers and were so impressed! Our guests are still raving about the food — many people have commented that it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding.

We worked directly with Patti, who is not only an expert in her field, but a really fun person to plan with. I loved her ideas and ended up choosing food for our wedding that we hadn't even tasted. (We did attend a lovely personal tasting and knew all that food was delicious, but we were hoping to offer a more "offbeat" menu for our guests.) Patti understood our vision and suggested the perfect items.

The catering crew who worked at our wedding was outstanding. Everyone was professional and friendly, and they went above and beyond to make sure all our guests ate well and felt comfortable.

Another perk is that Catered Creations teams up with a tent/table/chairs/linens company so they handled all the logistics for our site setup. That was a huge help!

I recommend this catering company without hesitation. Good people, good food, and good prices!

Patti and her staff did a truly outstanding job with our wedding. I felt so fortunate to have such a capable and flexible staff running some of the biggest parts of our day. Her communication beforehand was a bit slow (due to some technology issues they have now resolved) but she did a great job communicating with me even though I was out of state. The food quality was outstanding and Patti did a wonderful job managing our day of logistics! I would highly recommend this service!

Catered Creations did an amazing job with the food for my wedding! They offer so many choices to fit every budget. My wedding had a rustic theme- the slow roasted pork and chicken kabobs were perfect. Also, the miniture apple pies were so yummy and still the talk of my guests. They assisted me with more than just my menu and food- there are so many things to concider when getting married (carrying the theme of the reception throughout, time frames of the event, decor, accomdating all guests, etc.) and Patti helped walk me thru those options and ideas and helped me turn my wedding day into exactly what I wanted it to be!

The food was delicious and the employees were great! I had 3 stations for my dinner, tacos, American grill, and Ramen. They were all beautifully presented, and the Ramen station even had little take-out boxes! The passed appetizers during the cocktail hour were also a big hit.

The only slightly stressful part was they had a computer thing that meant some e-mails got put in my Spam folder, but we got that worked out with a phone call.

Patti was so great and I would recommend catered creations to anyone getting married or any kind of function! We had pulled pork, chicken, mashed potatoes and roasted potatoes! It was so cold for the reception, but the food was so hot when we sat down! It was so humbling knowing I didn't have to worry about anything with the food the day of or even the week of the wedding!

Catered Creations delivered delicious BBQ for our casual, backyard reception. Our guests were very pleased with the food and many asked who did the catering. The two staff we had onsite really went above and beyond, helping to clear plates, making sure the buffet table looked great and was always well stocked with food. They were professional and we enjoyed having them at the party. They arrived on time, food was ready to go at the time we had agreed upon and they had everything boxed up and cleaned up at the time we had agreed upon.
The only issue we had leading up to the party was the less than satisfactory responsiveness. It was hard to get in touch with Patti to finalize details and I felt like I spent a little too much time emailing and calling the two weeks prior to the event. But the food arrived, it was wonderful, and overall it was a great experience. I would certainly recommend them.

We were planning our wedding from Minnesota to have it in Michigan. Patti was very patient as we wove our way through emails and phone calls. We also had some issues since she was not a regular vendor at our venue that she was able to work through with ease. All in all, it was a very favorable experience for the conditions surrounding it.

We went with these caterers because they had such great reviews... Everything we thought, was going fine. Sometimes it was hard to get ahold of them or it take awhile for them to respond back. However on the wedding day it all crumbled... We are vegetarians and the reception site said, "no meat to be served" Well as guests were eating the food, there was HAM in the casserole. We had to ask for the food to be removed from the serving line. Also, in the contract it said that they would cut the cake for free as part of their service. When it came time to cut the cake they said they would cut the cake to "make up" for the ham and made it seem like it was inconviencing them. Also, my mom has been trying to contact them for two weeks now to try and resolve the "ham incident" and the frist time they were rude to my mom, the second time they promised to call back and still my mom has had to try again. Now they are making it sound like the food we tried at the tasting had meat in it and that we were "ok" with that. This is NOT the case, we never asked for meat, we made it very clear that we did not want meat served for personal and religious reasons. We are so embarrassed and feel frusterated at service we recieved both during and after the wedding.
