    Mid Michigan Children's Museum benefit

    This is the second year we've had From Scratch Catering serve at our event. The food was incredible, efficient and friendly staff and delivered an eye-catching display. This is a big event for the museum, we host nearly 220 people. The overall feedback was " 5 stars!" From Scratch knows how to prepare and serve delicious food. We will have them back again next year!

    Amazing food, service & presentation

    The service was top notch! The food was amazing! We used From Scratch to cater our corporate Holiday party and everyone in attendance raved about the food. The presentation of the food is superb and fancy! Highly recommend for any event!

    They catered my daughters outdoor wedding this past weekend

    Weather was cold and a little wet, but our guests enjoyed a wonderful dinner. The Scratch employees and owner were extraordinary and the food deserves a ton of praise (while it was all incredible, my favorites were the cornbread and the mashed taters) We did not have much in leftovers, but tons of praise and full bellies with this meal. Thank you, Scratch

    Amazing food, top notch staff!

    We had From Scratch cater our wedding last weekend and the food and service were both top notch!! We had so many guests tell us how much they enjoyed the food, and from our experience it was even better than the tasting- which was pretty incredible as well! Ryan is great to work with. He has an amazing staff that has everything handled at the blink of an eye. Highly recommend!!!

    I wish there were more than 5 stars! These guys were beyond amazing. We had compliments on the food all night. How often do you go to a wedding and actually like the food? Well it can actually happen! The wait staff was friendly and helpful. The bar staff was amazing! But most importantly the food was awesome and we have so very picky eaters not to mention a lot of food allergies that they accommodated. I honestly cannot sat enough, but planning a wedding and finding the right vendors can be challenging. Let me help and just say BOOK NOW and save yourself the time and stress.

    Simply Outstanding

    We hired From Scratch to cater our wedding in June 2023 and it was the absolute best decision. From the first email to the last plate, everything was first class. Ryan and his team met and truly exceeded every expectation. Our wedding was in early June and by the end of wedding season, all of our close friends and family agreed that our food was still the best. Our wedding was about an hour and a half away from the From Scratch normal operating area and you would never have known that they traveled with everything. There was not one single detail missed. Timing was perfect, food was delicious, the drinks flowed, and Ryan was a masterful conductor through it all. We can not thank them enough and would not hesitate to use them in the future. Simply outstanding.

    Scratch Catering!

    We used From Scratch Catering for our wedding at The Treasury and it was incredible! Everyone came up to us saying how amazing the food was from apps to dinner and the after glow snack. It was an amazing night and the food made it even better!

    Better wear the big pants

    I couldn't find a single flaw if I tried. We used From Scratch Catering for our wedding last weekend. They were absolutely amazing!!! The entire experience from quote to day of went so smoothly. Ryan was such a huge help and made things very easy and carefree. The staff at the wedding were so friendly and prompt. The food was out of this world too!! Highly recommend them for any of your catering needs!!!!

    Best Wedding Food I’ve Ever Had

    I cannot tell you the number of people who came up to us at our wedding that said this was the best wedding food they’d ever had. From Scratch not just delivered on exceptional flavor and options, but their service was impeccable and Ryan was incredibly accommodating of several allergy issues when menu planning. Multiple guests were asking for the caterer’s information after dinner so they could use them in the future. Highly HIGHLY recommend!!

    The best wedding food you'll ever have!

    If I could give this place more stars than 5, I would. We recently held our wedding ceremony and reception at this venue (4/22/22). There are so many amazing to be said!
    We used their catering company, From Scratch Catering. The food was phenomenal and people could not stop talking about it! You will leave satisfied and not needing to stop to eat on your way home. We utilized their buffet option and everything was hot and fresh upon serving. You will not be disappointed!
    All in all, if I could do my wedding again, I wouldn't change a single thing.

    I Dream About The Food

    We used From Scratch Catering for our wedding and we could not be happier with our decision. Everything was so delicious and we hear compliments from our guests about how delicious the food was all the time. I still think about how the food daily basis and wish I could just hire them to make me dinner. Might have to throw another event just to have them cater it.

    Best Food & Service Ever at a Wedding

    Run, do not walk, to hire From Scratch Catering for your event. They have large scale catering down to some form of witchcraft... seriously. I have been to many weddings and catered events over the years, and the food is so so-This was the best catered food I have ever had in my life- along with all of my guests! People are still going out of their way to compliment the food, and our wedding was 2 months ago. We went the buffet route, and were not disappointed. It's beautifully displayed, hot, and fresh. The tenderloin was some of the best we've ever had. If I had to eat 1 meal for the rest of my life, it'd be my wedding dinner.

    Delicious and would DEFINITELY Use again

    The food was incredible!!!! Jeff worked with me and my specific tastes! I love food and had a particular vision! I wanted overflowing h’orderves that made a statement, so he designed a 16 foot serpentine table full of charcuterie!
    I wanted cevice, and it was plated beautifully, absolutely delicious and passed around along with 3 other passed h’orderves so there was plentiful food and a constant flow!
    Some specifics, I cannot personally stand food trays all about the floor, they heard my concern and we had enough servers and expediters to move the food quickly and elegantly.
    They handled every special request down to my butter, in which they made it even better and more beautiful than I he imagined.
    Our dinner was HOT! Imagine, at a wedding where food is often cold and tasteless! Our steak was soooo TENDER! It should not be classified as “wedding food” as that often has a bad connotation. It was hot, great quality, delicious and plated beautifully!

    From Scratch was amazing!

    We had our wedding at The Treasury and used From Scratch Catering and we were not disappointed. The food was amazing. Everyone was so easy to work with and so accommodating. We loved their unique appetizer and dinner choices. Our guests still talk about the dinner at the reception months later. We were so happy with From Scratch Catering, we would highly recommend this company to anyone!

    People are still talking about the food at my wedding!

    I was thrilled with the experience of working with Jason at From Scratch and the rest of his team. We didn't get to do a tasting and we'd never attended an event catered by From Scratch. My meeting with Jason put my mind at ease that we were in good hands. The whole process was easy including the day of presentation. We had appetizers and a buffet at the reception. Everyone was raving about the food! We also had a few covid cancellations. They packed up all the leftovers and we were well fed the day after the wedding too. I couldn't have asked for better food or a better catering experience. Don't hesitate to work with these caterers for your next event!

    Not your typical wedding food

    My husband and I used From Scratch Catering for our wedding at The Treasury in June. They were suggested by our venue manager, who we trusted so it was an easy decision! We weren't sure how the food would be since it's made in a truck at the venue, but we were BLOWN AWAY at how amazing the food was! We unfortunately did not get to try our h'orderves since we missed most of cocktail hour, but all of our guests said they were wonderful! When it came to picking our main meal, Jeff worked with us to hand select each item, and build a unique plate. We chose a duet plate for everyone, and he allowed us to pick the sauce used, how it was plated, and even hand selected our veggie option from what was fresh that week! We absolutely cleaned our plates, and so did all of our guests! We had guests telling us the night of our wedding, and even weeks after how AMAZING the food was! If you're looking for delicious, unique food that's not your "typical" wedding food, pick From Scratch! Jeff was amazing and so easy to work with, and the serving staff was so prompt, polite, and professional. Food is such a huge part of a wedding, and From Scratch exceeded our expectations!

    Who doesn't love great food?! Thanks for fantastic selections for our wedding day

    I had the most spectacular wedding at The Treasury on June 5th, 2021!!!! We used the preferred/in-house caterer, From Scratch Catering. Hayley, Jeff, and their teams provided the best service and support to make our event truly perfect. Jeff was helpful and spent time walking us through all possible options, eventually landing on a great menu. While we weren't thrilled to learn that a maximum 10% increase in costs due to market fluctuations was written in our contract (post-signing it), Jeff and Hayley worked with us and were flexible to make sure everything was accurate and reasonable. COVID threw us for a trip every step along the way, but in all honestly, it worked out very well! Our guests raved about our venue and all our food and drinks. We had a mojito bar which was well received by our guests, plus all other served wine, beer, and cocktails kept the party lively. All the food -- especially the beef tenderloin and passed Korean meatballs -- was prepared and served perfectly and had such great flavor and presentation! (I was busy being the bride and didn't have time to try everything -- too many things to do and people to see! :) ) The mashed potatoes and asparagus were perfect sides for our selections. The attentive and friendly service the day of our event was exactly what we were hoping for, from the servers to the bartenders. What an amazing, unforgettable day.

    Highlight of our wedding

    You know your food was good when all of your guests are still talking about it a month after the wedding! We couldn't be happier with From Scratch Catering. The food was delicious and kept perfectly warm for everyone. They have many options for different diets and everything is spot on. The food was a absolute highlight of the evening. Thank you From Scratch!!

    Absolutely recommend!

    Would 100% recommend Jeff and his team for your catered event. Ours was a wedding in Millington, MI for 205 people. The one thing we absolutely insisted on being perfect for our guests was a delectable meal. Jeff worked with us "from scratch" months earlier to choose a menu of appetizers, exquisite meal of filet and shrimp (with garlic mashed potatoes and tri-colored carrots) and executed everything beautifully. Every steak was cooked medium-rare to perfection and the shrimp was exceptional as well. Our choice of a stationary cheese/cracker/ fruit table along with four butler-passed appetizers made for an amazing cocktail hour. Jeff is the most patient, mild-mannered, business owner you'd ever want to work with. I would absolutely recommend From Scratch to anyone wishing who, like us, wanted their event to have a delectable meal. Jeff and his team know how to execute perfection!

    Delicious and amazing!

    Amazing! From Scratch will not disappoint! From the moment we started working with Jeff and Ryan we knew what we were going to get and it was one thing we were not willing to change about our wedding. The food is delicious, you can’t go wrong with any of it. There are so many tasty options and the packages are of great value, giving your guests a variety to choose from. We got so many compliments on the food! With From Scratch you’re not getting the traditional banquet food people say is so so, you’re getting gourmet, home cooked food. Not to mention the staff you are working with is awesome! They truly cater to your needs and are friendly and easy to work with. We couldn’t have gotten through the wedding planning during this time if it wasn’t for Jeff and Ryan being patient and flexible. The only thing my husband wished was that he got a stock of Mac n’ Cheese and potatoes for the next couple weeks!😆 Highly highly recommend!
