    One of the best aspects of our wedding!

    I'll be honest, I thought other reviewers were exaggerating a bit about their guests commenting on Donelson's food but I kid you not, at least a dozen people went out of their way to tell us how amazing the food was at our wedding. The rosemary chicken was outstanding, and the veggies were cooked perfectly. I also highly recommend the crostinis! One guest said wedding food tends to be bleh at best, definitely not memorable, but they were blown away by how fresh and flavorful everything was. Huge thank you to Donelson's and Kimberly from our new family!

    Our guests are still raving about the food!

    The food was amazing! We got married October 21, 2022, and our guests are still talking about how great the food was! It was a pleasure working with Donelson’s as they were very responsive & extremely professional! They were able to accommodate us perfectly. Even with us living out of town, they were able to make arrangements for us to have our tasting when we’re able to get to Memphis. There are not enough words thank them for making our day even more special than it already was!

    Donelson's Catering

    If I could give Donelson's Catering more then 5 stars, I most definitely would. I just got married in December 2021 and hands down A++++ from the tasting all the way up to the wedding. They are very responsive and they become like family. I seriously miss working with them. Their food is off the charts. Almost 2 months later, my guest still talk about how amazing the food was at the wedding. One of the comments were "I've never had food like this at a wedding." I can not recommend them enough. I'm so glad I found them and hope to use them again soon at another event. Don't walk but run to book them for any upcoming event. You will not regret it.

    Donelson's Catering's reply:

    Brittney & Bobby, you two are the sweetest couple! Thank you for choosing Donelson's. We are so happy you and your guests were pleased. We wish you a lifetime of happiness together. ❤️

    Exquisite, personal, and delicious!

    We simply could not have been happier with Donelson's and highly recommend them. Excellent food, beautiful set-up, professional staff, flexible planning, and exquisite attention to detail. Our event was a very special one for my husband who has terminal cancer, and Donelson's made everything easy, beautiful and delicious for out 150 guests at the Metal Museum. I am incredibly grateful for their service and help.

    Kimberly and her staff were so professional and kind to all my guests. The food was amazing and presentation was perfect. They accommodated all my requests to work with my style. All of my guests had wonderful things to say about all of the food for my cocktail hour and reception and how friendly everyone was.

    Just perfect

    JUST PERFECT!!! If there were 10 stars, I would mark all 10!!! Donelson's Catering provided excellent food and service for our daughter's wedding in April. The guests loved the food choices. They are still telling us how much they enjoyed the cocktail hour and the dinner meal. We were so pleased with the entire experience. I can assure you that the Donelsons will be asked to cater many more events for our family. Professional service at its best!!!

    Donelson's Catering's reply:

    Thank you so much for the awesome review! We look forward to celebrating many more occasions with you and your beautiful family.

    All Around Fo To for Catering

    We have used Donelson’s many times for work functions with great success. Big and small events. I recently contact for a small private luncheon. Everyone was pleased with the menu choices, the herb roasted chicken was juicy and flavorful, au gratin potatoes were excellent, and the green been broccoli medley cooked perfectly. Awesome job, awesome service!

    Donelsons Catering

    If you have not experienced the new Curbside Menu service from Donelsons Catering, you owe it to yourself and those who're dining with you.
    This pandemic season has changed a lot of things but Wendell and Kim have remained committed to offering excellent cuisine and superior service.
    We added Blackened Salmon and Balsamic Glazed Lollipop Lamb Chops to our Father's Day menu. It was a wonderful treat that was thoroughly enjoyed. No matter how large or small your setting may be they're prepared to exceed your expectations.
    Praying that Divine Strategies and Favor continue to manifest on your behalf.

The communication was so professional and consistent! After having a bad experience with another vendor they stepped in and picked up the pieces with no questions asked! I definitely recommend them for any event you may have!

    Delicious. Awesome Taste. Awesome Service.

    I sought out to find an awesome caterer for my Mom’s “Living Her Best Life Birthday Party”. I asked around and was referred to Donaldson’s on more than one occasion. My last call was to a chef who educated other chefs and he said hands down Chef Donaldson. That’s all I needed to seal the deal. We scheduled a tasting which validated his endorsement. The tasting was conducted very professionally and the food was fantastic however the tasting was no comparison to the food prepared for the party. The guests were so impressed with the professional service - the passed hors d'oeuvres (crab cakes). The shrimp and grits were to die for-our guests are still talking about it! Food...

    I can't say thank you enough for catering my nephew's wedding. No detail was missed. Our guests enjoyed every morsel prepared. Hats off to Chef Donelson and the culinary team. From the first email sent, to the tasting and venue walk thru, to their wedding day, your team made every aspect seamless and easy. We are so grateful we chose Donelson's.

    On behalf of my daughter, her fiance, his family, and our family, I want to say that every guest raved about the delicious wedding fare and the gorgeous buffet presentation prepared and provided by Chef Donelson and his staff! They said it was the best "wedding food" they ever had! Kim Donelson was professional, accomodating, and knowledgeable about every step of the process of hiring a caterer for a wedding. She treated my daughter and fiance like family from the moment she met with them, and assured the highest quality of service throughout the reception. Donelson's Catering is by far one of the best decisions we made as we formed our vendor team for our daughter's wedding. Everything was...
