    Great Service

    Celebrations Catering did a wonderful job on our daughter’s wedding reception. Krista was patient, efficient, and very professional from start to finish. The food was delicious. The waitstaff and bartenders were friendly and helpful. Highly recommended.

    A Magical Catering Service For Our Magical Day

    We have been to a lot of weddings before our big day and something that we always noticed was that there was a pretty significant amount of food left over either uneaten on people's plates or growing cold on serving platters. NOT THE CASE with Celebrations! I have never seen plates get cleaned faster. My niece is one of the pickiest eaters on the planet and she has to be coerced into eating...she went back for 2nds and ate the pre-dinner snacks as well as the dessert. Other than the food being out of the world, the team that served us on our magical night was the most fun, outgoing, and professional people. They knew when to dance their way across the floor to bring my better half food, when to serve the different "courses", and went above and beyond to make sure that we had absolutely nothing to worry about on our big night. The team members themselves were an absolute joy and if we had known them for longer than just that night we would have invited every single one of them to the wedding. I could go on and on about how that staff was a critical player in making our magical day run smoothly. Celebrations Catering is some of the most genuinely nice and amazing people who are incredibly talented in the culinary arts and they make any event one to remember. CANT RECOMMEND THEM ENOUGH!!!!

    Not just food but memories!

    Celebrations catering was the absolute best for our November wedding. Their package deals make it easy to get the most bang for your buck! We were able to choose four appetizers, two meat entries and a vegetarian option, hot chocolate bar, a late night snack, linens and silverware, all for a fraction of a competing quote from another caterer. Krista was absolutely amazing to work with she was attentive to our needs, patient, and provided us with multiple options when we couldn’t quite decide on the place settings. Everything ran smoothly and we had absolutely nothing to worry about day of. Everything was served promptly and they were extremely considerate of our guests with allergies. The hot chocolate bar was a huge hit in the cold of November and at the end of the night we surprised our guests with a burger toss!! We threw hamburgers out to a very excited dance floor! It’s true that food isn’t always the most memorable part of a wedding but Celebrations definitely brought the party! Providing not just food but memories that our guests won’t soon forget! We would 100% recommend!

    Choose Celebrations!

    I couldn’t be happier with our choice to have Celebrations cater our wedding. Meg was a pleasure to work with and handled every request with ease. The day of went so smoothly and all of our guests raved about the food. Celebrations has plenty of options when it comes to food choices, linen colors and dining sets. I highly recommend them for all of your catering needs!

    Incredible caterer

    Tammy, Amber, Krista, and the entire Celebrations team are amazing! They were recommended to us by our venue (the amazing BlueBird Manor) and from our first conversation, it just felt right. Celebrations treated us like family through the entire wedding planning process. They are kind, talented, professional, and extremely good communicators. Tammy helped us build our menu, always guided us and never pressured us in any way. She was helpful and very patient through our many changes and spent lots of time talking through all the logistics and always with a smile! Our first tasting we almost missed because my husband overslept and they not only accommodated us late, but welcomed us back again when we requested a second tasting to try additional entrees. Their team took great care of us and our guests! The cookie table was set up BEAUTIFULLY, service was timely, the food was good, and most importantly they made sure we ate throughout our day! We are so happy with our choice to book Celebrations! Book them for your big day, you'll be so happy you did!!!

    Absolute perfection!

    We could not sing any higher praise about Celebrations Catering. Working with Meg was a dream come true, and the entire day-of team was wonderful! Especially Tammy, what a gem in this industry. Look no further for your event catering needs - this is as good as it gets in the area. Affordable, smooth planning process, and an all around wonderful experience. Run, don't walk, and book Celebrations today!

    Wedding Catering

    We used Celebrations for our wedding this past September and they were nothing short of amazing! Amber was incredible to work with and really got to know us and help create a menu and table decor to perfectly fit our vision for the wedding. She was so personable and went above and beyond for us! Celebrations has so many fun late night snack options including the Burger Toss which our guest absolutely loved! Their staff is so friendly and great to work with! We hope to be using Celebrations again in the near future!

    Perfect, professional, and delicious food!!

    Celebrations was an absolutely amazing caterer for our wedding!! From our first interaction, Meg was extremely helpful, communicative, and friendly, and we knew we could trust her to ensure our wedding catering turned out amazing. We did a tasting before booking to ensure their food was good, and of course it was amazing! They have so many options for cocktail hour and dinner, and even let us create our own special entree. Their flexibility is awesome and let us really create our own menu. The passed apps especially were absolutely divine and fun and unique, as well as the crabcakes served for dinner. Meg guided us throughout the planning process and continuously checked in on us and if we needed anything. You can tell she is both passionate about what she does and great at what she does, and has so much experience coordinating weddings. Everyone on the Celebrations staff was awesome and knocked it out of the park. They weren't your typical wedding wait staff/bartenders who hate their job- they were nice and friendly and engaging! Another plus with Celebrations is that they include the linens, glassware, plates, bar mixers, etc so that gave us less things to have to worry about and have to provide. They let us bring in our own alcohol and their bartenders served it, which at first I didn't love, but then we realized actually how much money we saved doing that, vs having to buy an alcohol package from a caterer. All we had to do was drop it off the morning of the event and Celebrations took it from there! I highly recommend Meg and the Celebrations team for all of your wedding catering needs!!

    Best experience - would HIGHLY recommend

    The team at Celebrations Catering was an absolute dream to work with. They were incredibly organized and efficient. Everything was clearly communicated to us well in advance. They went above and beyond- helping set up and clean up decorations, accommodating specific requests, and making sure the food was served according to our timeline. We worked with Meg who was amazing and completely went above and beyond. She would always respond to emails extremely quickly, and was there to offer support and advice every step of the way. She gave advice on things that extended beyond her duties as our caterer (including other vendor recommendations, timeline advice, seating advice, and more). She is extremely knowledgeable about weddings and was such an incredible resource to us. Celebrations was super flexible when we had to change course (multiple times) due to heavy rainfall on our wedding day. And of course, most importantly - the food was DELICIOUS! Could not be more pleased with Celebrations catering! Thank you Meg & team for everything!

    A Five Star Experience!

    Tammy and her staff are absolutely phenomenal. We were so impressed with the attention to detail, delicious food, professional staff, and personal support this fabulous vendor provided on our daughter's wedding day. We had a huge crowd, and when the rain rolled in they did not miss a beat in accommodating everyone in a timely fashion. We received so many compliments on all of the food - especially on the chicken and mini crabcakes! Everything was just perfect - Celebrations definitely helped make Claudia and Justin's day as wonderful as we had hoped.

    Truly amazing!

    I cannot express how incredible Celebrations and their staff were for my 9/8 wedding. Tammy was amazing and completely eased my nerves weeks before the wedding. Their team was so attentive and accommodated when a storm came through. The food was delicious & the cheeseburger toss was the highlight of my night! I truly can't thank them enough for everything they did to make our special day absolutely perfect!

    Talented and kind caterers

    Krista and the Celebrations team brought our day together. They were with us every step of the way during our planning journey, especially during the weeks leading up to the wedding date. From the appetizers, dip station, entrees, and dessert table, guests could not say enough nice things about how they enjoyed their meals. We were able to sit back and enjoy our wedding day, as the staff also assisted with set up and clean up. We are so grateful for Celebrations- Engaged couples look no further than this wonderful team!

    You won't find a better catering/rental company

    First off, there are not enough stars in this world to rate Celebrations Catering properly. Lucky for me, Meg is a great friend of mine so she was a guest at the wedding but I have been working with her on my wedding for quite some time, she was so helpful on everything from the venue tours to catering questions to helping me pick linen colors (not a small task LOL) to giving me general advice on every single thing. She has truly been there for me through all of this and I could not have pulled this off without her amazing advice and insight! Their china is GORGEOUS! We upgraded to the Ivory Lace China and it really made our table settings!! Thank you so much Meg, I truly appreciate you!!

    Now for the catering, Tammy was my Catering Coordinator for the day and she is just amazing! She made sure my husband and I were able to eat our dinner before guests started coming to us and it was so nice to have a few minutes to eat before the party started. The food, of course, was INCREDIBLE! We picked BBQ and the brisket was perfection!!! We also passed hors d'ourves for cocktail hour, the mini chicken tacos and caprese skewers were a huge hit!!! And you CANNOT go wrong with the cheeseburger toss for your late night snack!!! My husband and I are both foodies so our wedding dinner, hors d'ourves and late night snack was important and we knew we couldn't go wrong with Celebrations. I also had a few things to put out on our cake table once the buffet was taken down and when I walked outside to see the most BEAUTIFUL cake table decorated by Tammy and her team, I teared up, just the time and effort they put into making this such a perfect day means the world to me. I took on a huge project by planning this wedding and being a DIY bride so seeing all the decor they pulled to create an incredible cake table after only expecting 3 signs to be put out.... I was in awe.

    Tammy, Meg and the Celebrations Team, THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts. We could not have asked for a better team, better service or better food for our wedding day. 15/10 recommend them!!!

    Celebrations is the best!!

    There are not enough words to say how much we love Celebrations and Amber!! Food is such a focal point for weddings, and Celebrations always knocks it out of the park. We've worked with Celebrations for my sister's wedding, engagement party - and knew that we'd only look at wedding venues that allowed outside catering to ensure that they could cater our special day. The food was incredible (we're still getting rave reviews about it!). Amber is an absolute saint to work with - patient, communicative, fun, and overall, just a fantastic support system. You couldn't ask for a better team or food!!

    Wonderful!

    Celebrations catered our daughter’s wedding at Bowling Brook Mansion in Keymar. We were lucky enough to work with Meg. She was amazing! We had such a wonderful, smooth experience from food tasting, menu building, picking out linens, to the big day!! The food was delicious! Hats off to the chef! The staff provided professional service during the cocktail hour and dinner. My daughter and I had special requests/surprises,unbeknownst to one another, and Meg was awesome at keeping them a secret! She was very personable, pleasant, available, and very responsive throughout our entire journey! I would definitely recommend Celebrations for any event!

    Dream team

    Celebrations- specifically Meg- was a DREAM to work with. Every question/change/concern we had was addressed, responded to, and solved for quickly and professionally. Meg went above and beyond for us when our alcohol vendor failed to provide enough ice- took her own time to go out and purchase ice. Additionally, they took the time to gather ALL of our flowers, decor, etc. after the reception so pick up the morning after was incredibly easy. If you are looking for a catering vendor that will truly make your day smooth and stress free- BOOK CELEBRATIONS!

    Best Catering Team & Food Was Amazing!

    If we could give more then 5 stars, we would. Their team (lead by Tammy C. for our day) were so friendly, professional, made sure the bride and groom ate, food was delicious and much much more. They know how to party and everything was so seamless. The food was amazing (above and beyond for accommodating around allergies, vegetarians, etc) and we had the spuds bar (French fries) for late night which was so fun!! We have to say, again, the team at Celebrations were exceptional, so personable, and felt like part of the family. Would highly recommend!

    One stop shop

    I’m so so SO glad we decided to go with Celebrations. We not only had our catering through them (everything was delicious!) but we also got tablecloths/napkins, dishes, flatware, chargers, glasses, and martini glasses (for my signature drink). It was so easy to be able to have all of these items through one vendor. Working with Meg was the best! She helped us with so much and I cannot say enough good things about her.

    Great Experience!

    We had a fabulous experience with Celebrations Catering from beginning to end on our big day! Meg was phenomenal leading up to our wedding day. She was quick to respond to answer any and all of my questions and was thorough in those answers. We did a buffet style and the food was delicious! All of our guests really enjoyed it! I cannot recommend them enough!

    Rehearsal dinner catered by Celebrations

    We had a wonderful experience working with Celebrations Catering. The planning and execution of the wedding rehearsal dinner for 53 folks attending our son's wedding was flawless. Meg and her staff were efficient and friendly and the food was delicious. A success!!
