Alexis Sent on 12/04/2022Amazing food and great service!
We previously did a tasting with a different catering company that had left us pretty disappointed, so going into our tasting with Catering by Design, we didn't have the highest expectations, but they knocked it out of the park... At the tasting, everything we sampled tasted great, and we were genuinely excited to share the food with our guests. They were also very responsive to questions or concerns we had. On the actual wedding day, the quality of the food remained as high as it was when first tried it, and we had multiple guests come up to us and say how great the food was. They were also a breeze to work with when I mentioned potentially wanting... -

Caitlin Sent on 07/14/2024Southern BBQ Buffet- Perfect!
Catering By Design executed a wonderful southern BBQ menu for our wedding! Kelli and team were super helpful throughout the whole process. We got to do a taste testing to help pick our menu, and were sent home with a bunch of leftovers, so we got a true taste of what to expect. They were able to accommodate a variety of dietary needs. The team the day of the wedding was amazing and efficient and all of the food came out amazing. We got a ton of compliments from our guests. They prepared an awesome spread for us of the passed appetizers to ensure we ate before we were announced at the ceremony. At the end, we got sent... -

Carly Sent on 06/15/2024Great food, great service
No complaints! Food was great, management and service was great, bartending was great. Everything from the tasting to our take-home meal at the end of our wedding day was wonderful. Good communication, good ideas to make the day easier on us, and most importantly (as mentioned already) good food!

Brittney Sent on 06/07/2022Food blew my guests away!
We used them for our rehearsal dinner and reception. My goal was to have something different, so we did a taco bar for rehearsal and breakfast food for the reception. The breakfast for dinner menu blew people away! Everyone was so excited about the chicken and waffles! I would highly recommend Catering by Design if you're looking for a flexible, professional, customizable, and unique caterer. They'll let you customize your dream menu and also have bartending services! They set up, cleaned up, cleared plates, cut the cake, and checked on the bride and groom to make sure we were satisfied. I couldn't recommend them enough! -

Victor Sent on 10/29/2021Amazing food, even better service and value
Fred, Kelly and company were phenomenal in their service, enthusiasm and attention to every detail as cliche as that sounds, those were just a few of the benefits of working with this team. The food was incredible, every guest of ours was taken care of and the night wouldn’t have been the success it was without the whole group, we couldn’t have been more happy that we chose Fred and his staff for our wedding -

Emily Sent on 10/27/2021The BEST food and team!!
Catering by Design was the exclusive caterer for our venue so we weren’t entirely sure about them at the point of booking. Wow, were we blown away!! After our tasting my husband and I could not stop talking about how delicious and unique the food was and had a hard time narrowing down what we wanted to offer because it was all amazing. We have received SO many compliments on the food from wedding guests! Aside from the food, the CBD team was absolutely amazing from the start. They helped guide our planning and answered any and all questions. The day of the wedding Melissa and Sarah and the whole staff were incredible. We fully trusted them to make... -

Jordan Sent on 10/19/2021Out of this world Wedding Caters!!
My husband and I had the most incredible experience with Catering by Design, we were married on 10/09/2021 at The Evermore in Apex NC. They took on our 150 person wedding with ease including an open bar that ran all night long without a hitch. It rained on our special day and they flipped the reception space for the ceremony and back again with incredible efficiency. We would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone that wants their guest to rave about the wedding caters!!!Catering by Design's reply:
Thank you for allowing Catering by Design to be a part of your wedding day. We loved being a part of it and opening Evermore Farms in Apex. -

Jordan Sent on 04/25/2021Delicious food and quality service!
I used Catering By Design for my wedding and was not disappointed! We did their Southern Style Menu (BBQ, chicken, mac&cheese, green beans, bread, salad) and it was incredible not only at the tasting but also at the wedding. I was worried that the tasting wouldn't compare to the actual wedding day but Catering By Design did a great job of keeping their food hot and high quality throughout the entire reception. They also had a great wait staff that made sure my husband and I got to enjoy our food and the appetizers we missed out on during cocktail hour. They even packed us a meal to-go at the end of the night. I would highly recommend using Catering by Design!Catering by Design's reply:

Catering by Design was simply amazing. Everything from the food to the staff. Kelli was our contact and was super responsive and went above and beyond to make our day perfect. The food was so good! Some of our guests are still talking about how good the food was at our wedding. We also loved that they included a bartender with their services, so we didn't have to worry about finding one. We just had to provide the beer and wine. They also included full china and they cut and served our cake. They were pros! We were also very surprised at how reasonable the prices were. The price for what you're getting is really reasonable. Thank you Catering by Design for helping make our wedding day amazing! -

Virginia Sent on 01/18/2020I cannot say enough GREAT things
I *cannot* say enough great things about Catering by Design. (That's coming from a family of foodies.) Everyone we worked with phenomenal, and service ran seamlessly on the day of the event. The food was exceptional - exactly the same from the tasting to the day-of.
My parents exhausted all of the major caterers in the area, and none came close to Catering by Design with regard to food tastings.
My husband and I were out-of-state, so my parents did the initial tasting. Catering by Design happily provided he and I another tasting, so we could sample and tweak the final menu.
Perhaps MOST important - everyone prepared my husband and I that we... -

Mary Sent on 09/27/2019Amazing Food and Wonderful Staff!
We had an incredible experience planning our wedding catering with Catering by Design. From the very beginning with an amazing tasting to conversations throughout the planning process to the day-of. Kelli, who we worked with, was very responsive and always happy to answer any and all of my random questions. They made the planning process very easy and helped us find the right menu to fit our budget. On the day-of, the food was absolutely delicious, the staff was very efficient and organized, and we had so many people comment on how great all of the food and team members were. Would definitely recommend Catering by Design for your next week! -

Taylor Sent on 06/04/2019Amazing food, wonderful people to work with!
CBD was such an easy decision for us while planning our wedding. We worked with Kelli from the initial consultation/tasting all the way to the week of the wedding. She reassured us that her team of people would go out of their way to ensure the food was immaculate and we were well taken care of. We wanted to have more of a party style, station set up, where guests could go and eat whatever they wanted over the course of 2 hours or so (btw, if you're going back and forth over sit-down plated dinner to stations/heavy hors d'oeuvres, I wouldn't hesitate to go with the station style, you end up having way more time to party/mingle).

Heather Sent on 12/13/2018Delicious! Professional! Industry Experts!
The catering by design team was incredible. Making selections during the tasting with Kelly was such a special experience. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and has fantastic ideas and suggestions. She and Steve gave me exactly what I wanted in terms of menu and were in consistent communication leading up to the day which made me feel comforted. Steve even drove out to our venue to help me with some suggestions on layout for tables, buffet & bar. The day of, the team was prompt, professional and dressed sharply. They were the perfect blend of available while blending in and helped my directors immensely in set up and disassembly. I adore them and am so grateful we had them their for... -

The servers are very attentive and Steve the chef was so accommodating and responsive.

I have never been more pleased with a caterer. Food, and service were top notch. I will recommend them to anyone looking for an awesome event. Best part is they cost less, and provided more than their competition. Use this vendor!!! -

Brittney Sent on 12/12/2015We absolutely loved Catering By Design! They prepared such yummy food, everyone loved it!
Our reception was about 78 guests and we did buffet style. Let me start by saying the tasting was AMAZING! I have heard from other friends they have had to pay for a tasting, CBD is complimentary before you even sign a contract, so nice! They served us everything that would be served for the wedding and even boxed up the leftovers for us to take! They were so flexible on the menu, don't think that what they have posted is all they do, they will combine things to make it what you want.
We had hor d'ourves served at the cocktail... -

Alison Sent on 06/12/2015I cannot say enough about CBD. They catered two events for our family in the same week: my husband and I renewed our vows in front of a small group of family members in our daughter Alison’s home for our 40th anniversary on a Tuesday evening and then she was married to our now son-in-law Jason the following Saturday. From the first phone contact that I had with Jen, she was a joy to work with. For the anniversary dinner we had a simple buffet from CBD’s suggested menus, with one variation on a dish that was recommended by Jen after hearing what we didn’t like about a particular dish. Her idea was spot on and the dinner went... -

Shelley Sent on 07/20/2014Catering by Design were amazing for our wedding! They were VERY affordable - the lowest price among all the caterers we looked into. In addition, the food was awesome! Several guests came up to us and commented on how good the food was. The bartender was very quick and professional, as was the rest of the waitstaff. They were very attentive to not only the bride and groom but also to all of our guests. Throw in a free cake cutting service and that seals the deal! While there was a slight problem with our cake (not made by them), they were able to make the best of the situation to keep things running smoothly and none of the... -

Marie Sent on 10/09/2012Greg at Catering by Design was fantastic to work with. He and Jen helped us put together a menu for our wedding that was exactly what we wanted. We had a buffet meal and all of the entrees were delicious. They were very helpful and easy to work with. During the planning process, they were always quick to respond to even the smallest question.
We had a small wedding (70 guests) and I felt lost in the shuffle when interviewing some caterers. Catering by Design made us feel like we were their only client and they went out of their way to earn our business.
The staff who worked the event were professional and hard working. I would highly recommend Catering by Design.
