John Sent on 05/22/2023Excellent food
They did a wonderful job on relatively short notice. The food was excellent and the gentleman that brought it and set it up was friendly, kind and very attentive to detail. I would absolutely recommend them as we were 100% satisfied. -

Kelly’s went above and beyond to make our day perfect! The food was delicious- best wedding food ever- comments by all guests. The catering staff, set up, bartenders, clean up, and the planning team were all kind, accommodating, and hard working. Each one made sure we were taken care of throughout the day and night. I would recommend them over and over. -

EVERYTHING was excellent. The food, the service, the attentiveness to our guests. The reception was 100% worry free for me , the mother of the bride. You would be crazy not to hire Kelly’s for your event. -

Christine Sent on 11/09/2022Awesome vendor to work with.
We had ordered about 6-7 dishes from Kelly’s to be delivered to where we were staying. Food was delicious and on time. Prices were awesome for the amount of food we received. The fried chicken was amazing and so were the mashed potatoes. -

Jenny Sent on 10/05/2022Amazing Rehearsal Dinner - A Must Have!
We had Kelly's Catering delivered to our wedding house for the rehearsal dinner the night before our wedding - the food was amazing!!! We had everything from fried chicken, pulled pork (awesome sauces included on the side) to mac and cheese and the meat lasagna! It was all so good! Make sure you add in a few dozen of the sweet potato biscuits as well. The service was prompt, communication was great and the guests raved about the meal! -

I would recommend Kelly's catering to every person I know! From the beginning of the planning process, Mary Ann (point of contact) was communicative, responsive and helpful. During our reception, the Kelly's Catering employees were friendly, organized and well-mannered. I've had numerous guests from our wedding reception say it was the BEST wedding food they've ever had. Our menu consisted of the Blackened Mahi Mahi, Beef Tenderloin, mashed potatoes, risotto & roasted veggies. Our passed apps were also delicious! (Sweet potato ham biscuits, crab puffs, spinach balls & tomato pies.) 10/10 recommend Kelly's for your wedding reception!! -

Kelly’s Catering was the perfect choice for our OBX wedding. The set up was beautiful and the food was delicious. Everyone was telling us how classy our poolside reception was. The ladies were professional, but also made us feel like King and Queen of the ball. I felt like a “ Dancing Queen “ all night. We will definitely be recommending Kelly’s Catering to all of our friends and family.
Thank you for a perfect night!

Marguerite Sent on 10/29/2020Amazing food and service!
Kelly's was awesome. Mary Ann worked with us to come up with the perfect menu for our rehearsal dinner and was super flexible with everything we asked for. The service was amazing as well, they delivered it to our house, set everything up, and provided instructions for how to keep things warm. The food was delicious and all of our guests loved it (especially the Mac and cheese!). Would definitely recommend them to others! -

Kelly's Catering did the most wonderful job catering our wedding. We can't say enough with how easy it was to plan and meet with Kelly's prior to our wedding. Kelly's Catering was very flexible and met all of our needs. The food was plentiful and delicious! I would definitely ask them to cater again in the future. -

Homayra Sent on 07/24/2019Excellent Service, Food and Attention to Details and Guest
I was very impressed with how professional, kind and fun our server was with our guest during our Vow Renewal Event. The attention to detail and our guest was beyond our expectations, how attentive she was was outstanding. The food was delicious and all of our guest was impressed with the freshness of the food and overall the experience. I highly recommend their services for any event you won’t be disappointed. Thank you for making our day extra special!! -

Gina Sent on 08/22/2016We have nothing but a glowing report about this vendor!! First, their dishes are value priced (in our scenario, less than $50 per person – 2016 prices)! They will work with your budget to provide an amazing spread of food with great variety. They will also put together a full tasting for the bride and groom-to-be well in advance of the event! Let us get your mouth watering. We chose a heavy hors d’oeuvres array to include: sweet potato ham biscuits, blue cheese stuffed mushrooms, grilled shrimp served with remoulade sauce, tuna seared rare with wasabi, soy, ginger and seaweed salad, hot crab dip w/pita points, chicken breast stuffed w/Ham and Swiss finish w/Dijon cream sauce, beef shoulder tenders served with bread, béarnaise and horseradish sauces, and grilled vegetables. Dishes were cooked fresh, on-site. Every dish was fabulous and our guests complimented the amazing menu throughout the evening! Kelly’s also provided tea, soft drinks, lemonade, water, plates, utensils, glassware and coffee in the $50 per person cost! Remember to plan for tips for the staff as that is not included in their charges. For a party our size (170 guests), plan on about 12 staff including manager, bartending staff, cooks and servers. The bartending cost was based on actual consumption. Our venue limited the alcohol to wine, champagne and beer and the resulting per-person cost was less than $15! -

Rhonda Sent on 04/23/2015Mary Ann Newman was a joy to work with. She was very responsive throughout the entire menu planning process. The food was exceptional. We received many compliments from our guests about the wonderful food. The staff was professional and on top of everything the entire reception. As one bride said, if you want to feel at ease, turn to Kelly's. You will not be disappointed. -

User1174819 Sent on 05/26/2013Everyone loved the food provided by Kelly's. They did a great job getting everything set up quickly and without problem. The menu had a great variety of options to choose from and Mary Ann was very easy to work with. I compared prices at a number of vendors and Kelly's offered the best value by far. Would hire them again in a heartbeat. -

Jennifer Sent on 07/06/2012Yes, one of my favorite vendors for sure. Mary Ann is such a professional and they are SO EASY to deal with. There’s no list of everything that they’re going to nickel and dime you for – they have plates and tablecloths and glasses so you don’t have to rent anything if you don’t want to (I bought tablecloths and napkins but used everything else). The food was also DELICIOUS with lots of leftovers (the BEST crab cakes that I’ve ever eaten – and I love crab cakes). Mary Ann was so attentive – bringing us our salads, appetizers, drinks to my parents – what a wonderful person to work with. My mom stopped her to thank her at one point because it was just that wonderful. We had a big get-together the next night and tried to finish off the leftovers. The tasting was even a great experience with so many leftovers and complimentary drinks. So happy that we chose them. Fantastic service and food. -

In one word, amazing.
I had the shrimp and grits, the tenderloin and the potatoes. They were all delicious. I was so busy talking and dancing I missed the rest but everyone said the apps were fabulous and that the entire menu was amazing. I wish I could do it all again just for the food. I knew when we had our tasting that we had made the right choice. Thank you so much!! -

wedding reception caterer
our wedding was May 2023. I am in the service industry and have seen a lot of caterers. Kellys Catering was incredible!! The planning was great, the food was excellent (so good we made sure to order extra for left overs) and the service was above expectations. Kellys was flexible with what we needed and wanted. Will definitely be recommending them to anyone needing catering service near the outer banks! -
