    Highly, high recommend!

    An absolute must for your event! The team is amazing to work with, super easy to get a hold of, responsive, customer service during our event was spectacular and the food was beyond delicious. We received so many compliments from our guests.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Catered Creations, Inc.'s reply:

    Aww Shucks! Thanks so much for the love. We really enjoy working with you and your team. And you get some of the best couples! They are always a dream to work with too. Thanks for being you!

    The BEST Cornbread Ever!

    Extremely easy to work with, fabulous menu (I’d like to be invited to their tasting menu parties weekly)! Great family owned business that caters to your needs !!

    Catered Creations, Inc.'s reply:

    Hi Dr. Jen! Thanks so much for the review! We LOVE that cornbread. You were a dream to work with and so organized, you made our job easy. Congratulations! Now go have fun on your honeymoon! ;)

    So helpful & delicious food!

    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!

    Catered Creations, Inc.'s reply:

    Kristen, thanks so much for the kind words! We LOVED your vision for your day and brunch with the Waffle Bar fit perfectly! Who doesn't love breakfast?! We loved working with you too! :)

    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!

    Catered Creations, Inc.'s reply:

    Hello Sabrina! Thanks so much for the kind words. That pumpkin tortellini is staff favorite too! We were honored to serve you, Matt, your families and friends on your wedding day. You are the reason we love what we do!

    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, Inc.'s reply:

    You're making me cry! Thank you so much Madhura & Nick! And Raji. We LOVED working with you during the whole process and then the day of! Oh my. Gorgeous. So so happy the weather turned out great for the afternoon/evening. We have LOTS of great pictures we'll send your way as soon as Renee tweaks them. Btw, the signature cocktails were a huge hit. My only regret is that I wasn't onsite early enough to see any of the Hindu ceremonies. I hear it was beautiful even though it was under the pavilion. Our entire staff commented on how kind and thoughtful all of your guests were. It was truly our pleasure to serve you and your families and friends. It was a perfect day.

    Patti and Gary.... professionalism at its finest

    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!!!

    Catered Creations, Inc.'s reply:

    We were so honored to be a part of your day Rachael. It was fun working with you and your mom's vision and decor are always spot on! Did you get the pictures I took of the two of you? Thanks again!

    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, Inc.'s reply:

    Hello, You Two! Thanks so much for the kind words. It was so fun serving you and seeing your guests enjoy the food. They all ate a lot! We LOVE that. Hope all is going well!

    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!

    Catered Creations, Inc.'s reply:

    Thanks for the kind words, Lindsay! The Mash Potato Bar was such a great idea for the appetizers, but I LOVE potatoes so my opinion might be skewed. :) Chef Janell, Katie, and Rae said you and your guests were a dream to serve. Thanks for letting us be a part of you & AJ's wedding. We were honored!

    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, Inc.'s reply:

    Thank you, Ashley! You were a delight to work with and a stunning bride. We really enjoyed serving you on your wedding day. Send a pic of the two of you when you get a moment.

    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!

    Catered Creations, Inc.'s reply:

    Thank you, Amanda! The vegan dip we developed for you has now become a client favorite, but when you put beer in it, what's not to like? Your day was beautiful and we were so honored to be a part of it.

    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

    Catered Creations, Inc.'s reply:

    Thank you, Keith! Working with you to develop just the right menu and feel for your wedding was such a pleasure. We LOVE it when we're given creative license to create menus and decor that speaks to our clients. So much fun! Keep in touch!

    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!!

    Catered Creations, Inc.'s reply:

    Thank you, Sherri! We're so glad your venue recommended us to cater your daughter's wedding. You never know what the weather's going to throw at you, but we're so glad the rain stopped in time to have a beautiful wedding! It was a pleasure working with you.

    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 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!

    Catered Creations, Inc.'s reply:

    Hi Jamie! Thank you so much for your kind comments. Working with you was such a pleasure right from the start. You truly are as kind as you are beautiful. We hope you and Scott are doing well! Blessings - Patti & Team

    The quality of food from Catered Creations is amazing. Our guests were very impressed and so was I! We had pulled pork, grilled tilapia, mashed potatoes, cornbread and more. Their cornbread is to die for! Would hire again and highly recommend.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    We worked with Patty and her team at Catered Creations for our wedding and couldn't have been happier with the service and food. The people were friendly and they catered to our wants and needs. They were very reasonably priced and everyone raved about the good food.

    Catered Creations is amazing! The food was delicious, the service was over the top, and we could not be happier. We received so many compliments about the food and we even had people craving it the next day!
