    10/4/25 Wedding

    My husband and I are so grateful to the Healthy Cafe Catering Company! The food was beyond our wildest dreams and our guests are still sending messages saying how great the food was. Despite a devastating passing of a crucial family member the morning of our wedding, this team made sure we had the best day possible. From the bottom of our aching hearts, you made our dreams come true and we’ll be forever grateful. I would recommend the Healthy Cafe Catering Company over and over. Betsy was a dream to work with and the team who served our guests were also incredible!

    Perfect Post-Wedding Breakfast for Guests

    We hired Healthy Cafe Catering for our post-wedding breakfast to feed 90 guests who were staying at our wedding hotel. The food was all customized to represent all of our favorite breakfast foods (custom frittatas, funfetti pancakes, etc.) In addition, due to the allergies of our guests, they made changes to some of their dishes or provided additional guest options to accommodate our guests dietary needs. The food was delicious and it was a wonderful way to cap off a perfect wedding weekend and send off our out of town guests.

    Delicious Food, Lots of Options, Allergy Friendly, Excellent Service!

    The food was delicious, we got so many compliments from satisfied guests! They had a wide variety of options to choose from, which made choosing them easy because I am the pickiest eater in the world. They had lots of vegetarian options to choose from, which we so appreciated! We had some guests with Celiacs (can't have gluten), Crohn's (can't have FODMAPS), diabetes (can't have sugars), and high blood pressure (can't have salt) and they were so accommodating to guests that needed special meals. We got to do a tasting a few months before the wedding, and they were so friendly to us 1-on-1! They even came to our venue to meet with us, our planner, and our venue owner a week before the wedding to make sure everything was all set and to map out where they needed to set up and arrive, which was so great! Having that extra in-person meeting really helped relieve some of the stress from the big day! They provided excellent service, and our guests loved the food. I highly recommend this vendor! P.S. To all of the LGBTQ+ couples, this is a LGBTQ+ friendly vendor! They were so friendly to my Wife and I. I would hire them again in a heartbeat. 5 Stars!

    Could not have asked for a better caterer!

    Working with Healthy Cafe Catering was an absolute breeze. I ended up being a COVID bride and stressed out so much when it came to the details. We had to downsize by over 140 people and change venues just 5 months before the wedding. When i reached out to Healthy Cafe letting them know that plans have changed, they were responsive, empathetic, and extremely helpful. Their food was absolutely amazing and we had so much leftover. Everyone raved about how great the food was. We had 1 vegan dish that everyone adored and didn't even realize was vegan!
    If we opt to have a one year celebration, I know exactly who we will be using,

    Betsy and her team did an amazing job for our wedding cocktail hour and reception! Our guests RAVED about our food, even weeks later! Many even said it was the best wedding food that they’ve ever had. The service staff was also very friendly and helpful – everything ran perfectly!

    Betsy was also fantastic to work with leading up to the wedding. We interviewed many other catering companies but were disappointed with their food quality and/or their level of professionalism (when you’re planning a wedding, the last thing you want to be doing is chasing down your vendors!).

    Betsy, however, was so easy to work with and checked all of the boxes! I am so glad that we found her. She is very responsive, friendly, and is flexible to work within your budget. And her food is also outstanding! I would highly recommend Healthy Catering Café to anyone, you won’t be disappointed!

    Healthy Cafe did an incredible job catering my son's outdoor wedding reception last month. People are still raving about the food and the staff were clearly pros.

    Betsy and her crew were a pleasure to work with! She went the extra mile with a few of our guests dietary requirements/food allergies. All of the food was perfectly prepared and ready when my guests were hungry. My mother kept asking me why I wanted meatloaf at my wedding, but the item we had the least leftover was the sundried tomato, spinach and gouda stuffed meatloaf--it was magical. Everyone was well fed and pleasantly pleased with the food and service! Wonderful food from wonderful people!

    Wonderful to work with!

    Betsy and her team were wonderful to work with. She was the only caterer we could find that was reasonably priced and willing to work with your budget. But we didn't sacrifice service or food. The food was delicious and multiple guests told us how much the enjoyed it. My now husband is a vegetarian and so most of the food was veggie, and she was great at offering up different ideas for that. The service staff the day of the wedding also did a great job and were very attentive. Overall would definitely recommend!

    I can’t recommend Healthy Cafe Catering enough. Betsy is so laid back and down-to-earth, which I really appreciated after meeting some other caterers who were very schmooze-y. She was very accommodating of all my requests and worked with me to make some logistical challenges of our venue work smoothly. Her prices are also VERY reasonable compared to other companies. There’s no “here’s your price – oh but now add 20% for an ‘operating charge’ that we didn’t mention before.” I could not have been happier with Betsy’s staff the day of the wedding. My family and guests spoke so highly of their friendliness, professionalism, and how hard they worked all night. Now, the FOOD – it was excellent!! I honestly thought that within our budget we would get food that was fine/good-ish but nothing to write home about – I was wrong! Everyone raved about the food – in fact, our DJ said he’s done 500 weddings and ours had the best food!! Particular raves given to the Mediterranean platter, the chicken marsala, and the tortellini in fontina cream sauce. It was all presented beautifully and was hot and delicious. At the end of the night, there was a ton left over, and the staff packaged it all up and sent it home with us. The only thing I wasn’t crazy about was the dessert set-up – for some reason it was placed in kind of a dark out-of-the-way corner, and a lot of people didn’t realize it was there. That was a small thing though – those who did have the desserts, again, raved about them. And I noticed they put purple sugar on the cupcakes, since that was my wedding color – so cute! I would absolutely recommend Healthy Café to anyone looking for a caterer for their big day!!

    Avoid at all costs

    I'm sure the owner, Betsy, may try to respond with some snarky or untrue excuse—but if I can stop even one person from using this company, that’s enough for me. My guests were shocked at the way she yelled at me in front of a dining area full of people—she has zero class.

    After my wedding, I reached out to Betsy from Healthy Cafe to raise serious concerns, and her direct written response was: “for me this was in one ear and out the other.” That dismissive comment perfectly captures the type of service and total lack of accountability I—and you—might experience with this company.

    At my wedding, she completely forgot the vegan main entrée—one-third of the planned mains. This wasn’t a minor oversight. I, the bride, am vegan, my immediate family is vegan, and she knew this from the start. Making this right was incredibly important, and she failed.

    When I calmly approached Betsy about it, instead of handling the situation professionally, she immediately attacked me with yelling and arguing, only to be proven wrong later (yes, she admitted her mistake). She chose confrontation over accountability, showing a shocking lack of professionalism.

    She even resorted to name-calling, labeling me a “bad communicator”—ironic given her own repeated mistakes throughout this whole process -- including overcharging me by nearly $700).

    On top of that, we paid $100 specifically for trash removal, and after her team left, we were left with six large bags of garbage. Not saying they didn't clear any, but just a note as to what we were left with.

    Even worse, she only offered a refund after I mentioned leaving a bad review. That says everything about how she runs her business: accountability only when her reputation is at risk, never when she actually makes mistakes. My guests were shocked at the way she yelled at me in front of a dining area full of people—she has zero class.

    Her repeated errors, her choice to belittle and attack me instead of owning her mistakes, and her dismissive, disrespectful behavior ruined what should have been one of the happiest days of my life. No bride, family, or client deserves to be treated this way. I strongly urge anyone considering Healthy Cafe Catering to look elsewhere.
