We had the best experience working with Senior Sales Manager, Ashley and all Donovan's Dish staff for our wedding catering. Our guests raved about the food and how friendly everyone was. Our family & friends especially enjoyed the shrimp and grits and the short ribs. Everything was delicious and well executed by the catering team. Well done and a huge thank you! -

Donovan's is the best! Their food is delicious and my guest could not stop raving about it. The biggest hit on our menu was the shrimp and grits, they are a must! Not only was the food delicious, but Brittany was amazing to work with. Every one of our servers at the wedding were so caring and professional. Would recommend to anyone! -

I had been to several events that were catered by Donovan's Dish making it an easy decision when we were looking for a caterer for our wedding. The private events they offered for tastings so we could curate the perfect menu, the customer service with constant communication, and of course the food would individually be enough to give 5 stars but to have it all in all was everything we dreamed of! On the day of the wedding it was so wonderful to be able to relax and enjoy the day with the staff of Donovan's Dish taking care of everything. Our contact helped with suggestions for plating, serving, and taste profiles which was super helpful considering how DELICIOUS everything is! And now to have the opportunity for the take-away or delivery meal service we get to relive one of the happiest and best days of our lives! -

Our guests could not stop talking about how delicious it was and how smoothly buffet service went. We are so grateful that we chose them for our wedding catering. Would recommend them to anyone! -

We used Donovan’s for our wedding last month and people are still raving about the food! Everything from the hors d’oeuvres, dinner, late night snack and bar service was beautifully served and delicious! We did a dinner buffet and their servers made sure my new husband and I had our dinner plates first and even and made sure we had a drink from the bar throughout dinner so we didn’t have to get up. The bartenders and servers were friendly and quick with service. Our coordinator, Brittany, was helpful with decisions from the beginning, quick to respond and helpful with planning the flow of the event around dinner. Can’t recommend enough!! -

Donovan's Dish did an excellent job catering our 90 person wedding. Up to the event they were prompt with communication and super flexible with our constantly changing guest count (even up to the week of). The servers were exceptionally friendly and dinner and apps went off without a hitch. Most importantly, the food was incredible... we received so many compliments after the wedding about how much they enjoyed the short rib, prosciutto wrapped chicken, and pass around apps. Highly recommend! -

I LOVE Donovan’s! My husband and I used them as our wedding caterer and the entire experience was phenomenal! We told our wedding planner how important it was for us to have amazing food at our wedding, so she suggested Donovan’s Dish. We went for a tasting and were immediately sold! All the food we tried was delicious and all the staff we worked with were helpful, friendly, and accommodating. We loved that they offered a wide variety of dishes that were more than just your typical wedding food like the same chicken or salmon dish you get at every wedding. For appetizers, we selected the goat cheese empanadas (AMAZING), bourbon meatballs (my husband still talks about these), mini chicken and waffles, and caprese skewers. We did live chef stations for entrees and had the shrimp and grits (one of the best meals I have ever eaten in my entire life), lemon chicken with goat cheese risotto (I still dream of that risotto), and the bistro filet. The signature ham rolls as our late night bites were a massive hit - these things are so addictive. For dessert, we had the donut flambé station which was so fun! All our guests could not stop talking how amazing all the food was. We had a few vegetarian and vegan guests and Donovan’s had awesome options for them, as well!
We were so pleased with our experience with Donovan’s for our wedding that we also bought their Thanksgiving dinner two years in a row! Everything comes packaged with the cooking instructions on the containers and you get everything you could possibly want. We have had two years of totally stress free Thanksgiving dinners.
I am also a massive fan of their takeout market! We always have one or two of their meals in our fridge or freezer for when we don’t feel like cooking. I seriously tell everyone I know about how much we love Donovan’s! The owner, Jill, is incredibly sweet and she has a fantastic team! -

If you are looking for amazing food for your big day, Donovan's Dish is your place! With so many options to choose from and amazing staff to help you choose what is right for you, they make feeding your guests a breeze. Ashely was so easy to work with and helped us plan the perfect buffet for our wedding! You can't go wrong with Short Ribs and Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken. So yummy! -

We got married on 11/12 with over 200 guests, & we chose Donovan’s Dish to cater. Of all the feedback we got from our wedding, hands down the most common thing we heard was, “Who catered? It was AMAZING!” I know the highlight of any bride’s wedding day is marrying the love of her life. While this was indeed the best part, our food was a close second. We had the steak, stuffed chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans, and asparagus- and my goodness, I couldn’t pick a favorite, but definitely had seconds. I didn’t care that I was wearing a tight dress, and a full belly would show- it was worth every bite!!
Special should out to Brittany B. for making it so easy to work with Donovan’s Dish. She made herself accessible to me via text which was insanely helpful for last minute things that came to mind.
Book them. Now. Worth every penny. -

Donovan’s Dish was everything we could have ever asked for out of a vendor! We did several live stations, and it was absolutely perfect. Everything was incredibly organized, and flowed without a hitch. Ashley made us feel at ease from the moment we met with her at our tasting.
We received so many compliments from family and friends saying it was the best food they had had at a wedding. Thank you to the entire team for being such a special part of our day! It was amazing! -
