Our experience with Wendy, the Coordinator, was wonderful! She was very sweet, helpful, and always responsive to any and all questions, or concerns. The food was amazing and the staff was courteous and professional. Thank you Wendy for all you did to make our day special and free us to really just enjoy the day and leave the details to you.

We had a wonderful experience with Center Catering for our daughter’s wedding. Each step of the way, Wendy was incredibly helpful and extremely accommodating. She always responded quickly to our questions, and made us feel very at ease through the whole planning process. On the wedding day, every table looked amazing, the food was great, and our guests were thrilled with everything, making our daughter’s wedding a wonderful success— thanks to this excellent catering company and the leadership of Wendy Herckt. We were incredibly grateful for a stress-free experience, and would definitely recommend Center Catering to others.

Center Catering was an absolute dream to work with for my wedding in April 2018. Wendy, the coordinator, is the best in the business. She was extremely professional, prompt and encouraging. She replied to every single email I ever sent with lightening fast speed, even if my questions were silly, and provided me with great feedback I. She made the whole planning process smooth and easy (as easy as planning a wedding can be!). On the day of the wedding, the food was amazing, the staff was courteous and professional, and the room decor was beautiful! Wendy and her staff made my wedding day memorable in the best possible way! Center Catering was fantastic. And spending an extra $300 to have Wendy be our day of coordinator was the BEST decision my husband and I ever made for our wedding! She was not only there to execute on the big day, she was with us every step of the planning process. I cannot thank ber enough for her services!

I can't begin to tell you how pleased my husband and I are with using Center Catering for our wedding. Wendy (who we also ended up with using at our "Day of Coordinator") was so helpful, and extremely prompt when it came to answering the many questions I had. She made sure our reception space was picture perfect, and that everything was moving smoothly.
I should also mention that the food is SO GOOD! After we had gone in for a tasting, we couldn't wait for the wedding just so we could have the food again. Center Catering was also so amazing when it came to making sure our menu was mostly Gluten Free, and provided alternative options for the items that weren't. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Thank you for your kind words Grace! Working with couples such as you and Matthew is why I love doing what I do.

We were talking just today about how amazing you both looked! Your stunning grey dress and Matthew's red tuxedo were absolute perfection. The Yorba Room was gorgeous decked out in Red & Black. Thank you for allowing us the honor of being part of your Special Day!

I would like to thank Wendy and the entire staff of Center Catering for helping us make this party a memorable event. Everything was a success. From the time of the planning to the actual party, even at the end of the event, everyone was there for us. Wendy was even there helping me set up the room even though I already had a lot of help from my family and friends. Honestly speaking, all the stress that built up just faded away after seeing the overwhelming support I got. This was my second time planning an event with Center Catering and they had never failed to impress not only me but also the guests. Wendy and the staff were very professional. Wendy was calm and reassuring and helped us plan things smoothly. Thank you guys for everything.

Wendy Herckt was our Event Host (Day of Coordinator) for our Wedding Day. She was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was so helpful! She not only was important to help us with our layout of our big day, but also helped our DIY wedding be the best it could be with her expertise and knowledge of our venue. The day of, Wendy worked diligently to make our day so memorable. This is an incredible opportunity and I would highly recommend using Center Catering for their Event Host services.

You made our day run incredibly smooth.

Using Center Catering was the best decision I made throughout the whole wedding planning process! If I could give them more than 5 stars I would! From our very first meeting, Wendy was unbelievably helpful and responsive. From our meetings to emails and food tasting she was so kind and helpful, always giving her honest opinion. Wendy works with your budget and doesn't try to push you to spend more money like most people in the wedding industry do.
The food was fantastic and the service was wonderful. The wait staff was very friendly and attentive and our bar tenders were awesome and fun! Everyone working the event was truly amazing!
Thank you Wendy and Center Catering for making our wedding reception a dream. I will 100% recommend you to everyone I know!!!

Our wedding was on June 17, 2017. Sad it is already over, it went by so quick (As I am sure most brides say). We used Center Catering and it was great! Mainly we worked with Wendy, she was on top of everything. When we got to the ceremony, she even got us drinks and our food, so that way we didn't have to wait in line. We had prior meetings and she was always on time and very helpful. Whenever I would call, she would either answer or return calls promptly. I highly recommend working with Center Catering/Wendy, you will not be disappointed.

I know it seems fake to give 5 stars across the board, but Center Catering rally deserves it! Working with Wendy was such a joy! She was professional, timely, organized, flexible, supportive, and easy to work with. We had our wedding at the Yorba Linda Community Center (which was a great deal), but the food and service was provided by Center Catering. We got very positive reports back from all our guests that the service and food were great! We also paid for the day-of-event coordinator - so worth it! They helped coordinated with our other vendors, got the room set up, and helped us stay on time. Ultimately, you won't be able to find delicious food, professional service, and great people for a better price.

Center Catering (Wendy) did an outstanding job on my event. I used her services for a renewal wedding reception, for 115 guests.
Wendy treats you like a valued friend and not just a customer. She listens to your needs, providing you with excellent service, and on going support.
She goes above and beyond her duties, which made my event very special. It all was perfect. This could not have happened without Wendy.
I differently recommend her and would use her services again. You will not be disappointed.

Wendy was absolutely perfect - always called back quickly if she didn't answer the phone in the first place - everything went just perfect - Alex was the event captain and he also was a true professional - we asked for the food to arrive earlier than scheduled and in less than 2 minutes it was getting delivered quickly and with plenty of servers
Many of the quests commented to me about how professional and polite the staff was
The facility was first class
Everything was a well done as I could of ever hoped for and then some

Wendy was the glue that held us all together as we planned our wedding right in the midst of full time careers, family obligations, and Christmas. Wendy provided a sense of calm and preparedness, even when unexpected changes came our way. Wendy made great suggestions regarding setup, tradition, outside service providers, and so much more. Wendy was always responsive to our emails and phone calls, which allowed us to make necessary arrangements between vendors in the moment. On our wedding day, she was present with that same sense of calm and happiness. She truly served as a blessing to both of us!
