    Most legit option in Tulsa

    MICHELLE is a superhuman. At one point during the wedding I asked her if she needed anything from me & she said "I need you to enjoy the day & worry about nothing." She felt like family- like the badass, highly successful boss woman aunt. Ludgers helped with EVERYTHING. They have awesome relationships with other vendors & can get you what you need. Michelle is unbelievable in her organization & ability to keep track of everything. She outlined the process of catering for a wedding very clearly from day one. I can't imagine going with anyone else.

    Food was delicious- apps- steak & crostini, caprese salad skewers, dinner- roasted chicken, prime rib, and guests said the veggie lasagna was the best veg option they've ever had at a wedding. kids chicky tenders & macncheese was great. Dessert- Chocolate coconut bars, strawberry shortcake shooters & cannolis- all delicious. We also had them help us with linens, tables, chairs, and the bars. They were able to bring a bartender to the venue early to serve us drinks while getting ready. I am not kidding when I say that they will literally help with anything.

    We even got a gift from them after the wedding. Leading up to the wedding, a few of our other vendors would ask us who is catering- when we said Ludger's they all said "GOOD!" Their reputation says it all. I hope you get the opportunity to see them in action & feel the joy that comes working with such delightful humans (and delicious food is a bonus!).

    Best Caterer in Tulsa!!

    Ludger's blew me away from the very beginning of my wedding planning process. Their professionalism and response time is absolutely unmatched. Michelle and Lindsay were an absolute dream to work with, they made everything SO easy. We knew immediately after our tasting that we wanted to book them. The sliced roast beef, mashed potatoes, and veggies were SO good. On my wedding day, Ludger's staff went above and beyond, and even my wedding planner made a comment on how great they were. Our food was hot and delicious- our guests were full and happy!

    Ludger's Catering & Events's reply:

    Hi Kyley,
    Thank you so much for your time leaving this review and the kind words. I will be sure to pass along your compliments to Lindsay, the chefs, and the staff.
    It was an absolute pleasure working with you and I hope to see you again in the future!
    Let me know if you need anything!
    Cheers!

    Gorgeous plated sit down dinner

    Michelle was delightful to work with. She organized the sit down meal for my wedding and it came out perfectly! She also organized my rentals so that I didn't have to do it. We had several meetings both in person and virtually which was very convenient. I had some picky eaters at my wedding and there were no complaints!

    Catering and Rentals

    Ludger’s catered our wedding as well as helped out with our rentals. Michelle was absolutely fabulous to work with and her staff that she sent out the day of our wedding was phenomenal. Everyone loved the food and couldn’t stop raving about the Bourbon Glazed Beef. Highly recommend Ludger’s!

    Best Caterer in Tulsa!

    I can not say enough good things about Michelle and her team. When we first started contacting caterers, we were frustrated by the lack of communication we were getting, but from the beginning, Ludgers was so prompt and detailed in every reply. Michelle was one of the kindest, most friendly vendors that we worked with, and we had a blast planning our wedding with her. We went to do our tasting and were amazed by how great the food was. Our guests are still telling us how good the food was almost a month later. Most importantly, my husband and I got to actually sit down and eat (which we were warned we wouldn't have time to) because they made us a plate the minute we walked in the door, and even packaged up leftovers for our getaway car! 10/10, I will absolute use Ludgers again if I ever find myself hosting another event.

    BEST experience! Highly recommend!

    I had the absolute pleasure of working with Michelle in preparation for my wedding. From the very first meeting to the day of our wedding, I knew we were in good hands. Everything went so smoothly, thanks to Michelle and her staff. Every little detail and request was accounted for and our wedding was a dream. The day of was stress-free with Ludger's and everyone was so impressed with the food and service. I had been recommended to Ludger's Catering & Events by a friend and I will always be thankful we chose them to be a part of one of the biggest days of our lives. They will be my go to and number one recommendation from here on out!!

    Ludger's Catering & Events's reply:

    Hi Savannah,

    Thank you so much for the kind words. I can say, the pleasure was all mine! You were amazing to work with.

    I can't wait to work with you in the future!

    Best food, best prices, best caterer!

    Ludgers catering offers delicious food, attentive and kind stuff, at a heck of a good deal. When I told my family how much they were charging us, comparing it to our first career, my family was certain we were going to get hit with some sort of hidden fee.

    Nope. We should’ve though - we had a lot of extra people show up on our wedding day that Ludgers had to wait on during our cocktail hour. Instead, everyone was kind and happy to improvise. We received so many compliments on how good the food was - our parents even stole our honeymoon night take home plate! My husband and I were thoroughly impressed with how kind and helpful their staff was.

    Our wedding day wouldn’t have been the same without Ludger’s Catering!

    Wedding turned graduation

    Ludgers was a great company to work with. Not only are they super professional, they had the best tasting food. When I think of catered food, I think of bland cold food that’s been sitting out. Maybe from past experiences from other people but with Ludgers that was anything but the truth. They arrived on time, set everything up, and kept the food coming and hot for all the guests. We had a taco bar and even down to the salsa and guacamole came out amazing. (I’m picky about that) I’d hire them again for any party I need catered. Even just an office party!! Thank you Ludgers!! And thank you to Michelle who went above and beyond to work with my changing path!

    You can't go wrong with Ludgers Catering

    From day one, Ludgers stood out to my husband and I purely on their customer service and responsiveness. We were originally between two vendors and before even tasting their food, we knew that we wanted Ludgers purely by their communication and knowledge over the wedding industry in general. Michelle Ramzel was the event specialist assigned to us and honestly I couldn't have picked a more perfect person to work with. Her knowledge on rentals and her attention to detail was a god-send during this stressful time of planning a wedding. Like I'm pretty sure she has angel wings. 10/10 would recommend working with her in the future!

    Now on to the food. Ludgers hosts free tasting events through out the year that you could attend in order to try a good portion of their menu and if you didn't get to try something in one of those tastings that your interested in, they also offer to host a private tasting in order to try some of the other items. These tastings made it super easy for my husband and I to narrow down our menu and select our favorite items. When we decided to attend a private tasting we noticed that the steaks were cooked more medium/medium-well and we were looking for a more medium-rare cook to our steaks. Michelle took note of what we wanted and we were pleasantly surprised that our steaks were cooked perfectly on the wedding day! Additionally, the mashed potatoes are to die for and the chorizo mini sliders are so freakin good!

    Day of the wedding. Michelle showed up at the time that the venue opened to start setting up table cloths as early as possible. This allowed my mom to set up center pieces pretty early so that she could take her time getting ready. I'm telling you, Michelle is an angel. I was a little busy so I didn't get to talk to very many servers or cooks but my goodness, they were on top of everything! The bar tenders were so sweet to all of my friends and family and during dinner, no one even had the opportunity to think about food or drink because they were constantly being taken care of. This team was so professional and kind. My husband and I were unable to attend our cocktail hour because of photos but the staff went out of their way to ensure that we had a small plate of our passed appetizers to try with our meal once we got to our table! Then at the end of the night the staff packed up two meals for my husband and I to have once we got back to our hotel! Plates, napkins, water, wine, silverware... all included in our goody bag.

    Its quite possible for me to go on forever about how amazing this company is but I'll stop now. My hope is that my review helps a future bride make the decision on who they should use for catering. You definitely can't go wrong with choosing Ludgers.

    “Best Food I’ve Ever Had At A Wedding”

    All my wedding guests are raving about the food Ludger's served at our wedding. It was delicious and the entire crew was professional & friendly. Michelle was fantastic to work with and made planning my wedding so much easier than I expected. I would absolutely recommend them for any event.

    Ludger's Catering & Events's reply:

    Leslie, thank you so much for the kind words. It was an absolute pleasure working with you and Bob, and I wish you all the best!

    Wedding Bliss

    Lindsay was a delight to work with for my daughter's wedding reception. She was professional and always pleasant. I was able to trust her experience and advice to make the reception run smoothly even from out of town. Ramiro was fantastic on the day of the wedding. Everything looked beautiful and tasted delicious. He served and cleaned up. The whole experience was wonderful. I highly recommend Ludgers for your next event.

    Best caterer!

    Ludger's just catered my wedding and they were AWESOME! It is a one stop shop with them. You can order everything through them, from food down to linens and centerpieces. They set everything up, and broke everything down. We sat down at our table for dinner and our server Judy made our plates, brought us drinks, and checked on us all throughout the night to make sure we didn't need anything. The best part: we got to our hotel with the bag they packed for us and it included a piece of every cake we had (we didn't get to try them all), our appetizers that we didn't get to try, and 2 full boxes of food. They also packed up all the remaining food we had left over and split it between our parents. Hands down the best catering company!!

    We enjoyed working with Ludger’s starting with our cake tasting appointment. There were some concerns brought up by Ludger’s with our order so they suggested an alternative that worked out even better. Our wedding was in Norman but there were no issues transporting it from Tulsa and it turned out amazing. We look forward to enjoying it again on our one year anniversary!

    Hi Rachel... I wanted to let you know that you did this review under Ludger's Catering, rather than Ludger's Bavarian Cakery. We are owned and operated separately, so I want to make sure that they get the credit due with your review. Congratulations on your marriage!

    Megan and her team know what service means! From the moment we had our first meeting , we knew we had to hire them to cater my daughter’s wedding! And it was perfect. Megan was so excited about the Beauty and the Beast theme and her bartender dressed as Gaston! The servers were so attentive to our guests and stayed until the very end to make sure everything was cleaned up. They packed a bag of food and cake for the bride and groom to take to the hotel that night. Thank you so much Ludgers!

    We worked with Megan S. while planning our wedding. Ludger's provided for our wedding our dinner, bar and some of our decor. Megan made planning so easy and really fun. I loved working with her and would do it again in a heartbeat. Megan dealt with my crazy family and quickly answered or dealt with anything that popped up. We could not recommend their services enough. They servers we had the night of wedding were great, especially Susie, our lead server. She made the flow of the evening go so well. They also packed us the cutest little snack bag at the end of the night. We loved working with Megan and we definitely put her through the paces. She's a rockstar and will make sure your event goes perfect!

    Wow! I cannot express how impressed I was with Ludger’s Catering for my morning wedding brunch. Megan walked me through every little detail from customizing the menu to table linens and napkins. She also had a developed relationship with my wedding venue already, which helped a lot. The staff were very professional and prompt. They were on-time to set up at exactly 6am for my morning wedding. The servers were amazing to the point that you barely noticed they were there. And the head server…. She was AMAZING! She was professional with checking in with me, packing the groom and I take home meals, and even helped me with “maid of honor” tasks like fetching me my dancing flats. After the ceremony, the guests started eating while the bridal party was taking pictures. After making our grand entrance into the reception, the first thing I heard from everyone was how good the food was, especially the bacon. If I were you I would consider doing a morning wedding just because of how good the bacon, homemade cinnamon rolls, and homemade blueberry coffee cake was. I would HIGHLY recommend Ludger’s Catering.

    Ludger's had in our opinion the best price for better quality food. Anyone could easily get cheaper prices, with the food to match. We wanted a heavy appetizer style setting that would fill people up without restricting them to a one dish entree option. We were able to do that with Ludger's, and had nothing but rave reviews from our guests about the food. We also did hand passed canapes during wedding party pictures, served by their servers, which was incredibly pleasing for our guests. The cost couldn't be beat, and the quality of the food was superb.
    We also used them for their bartending, and had a bartender who joked and spoke to all of our guests all night long.
    They also packed a to-go bag for my husband and I to take after the wedding to our hotel, including a personal keepsake. The small touch meant the world to us, and we only wish they had a store front we could visit all the time.
    The employees were a dream to work with, especially Megan, who we worked with on numerous occasions within the process. She was always pleasant and professional and genuinely invested in our loving our wedding.

    So happy we made the decision to go with Ludgers. Megan was very helpful and made things very easy. It was always a pleasure talking to her. The food was absolutely amazing. The staff was professional and in addition to our reception meals they even packed up a plate of goodies from our candy buffet, which I was happy about since we were so busy I didn't get any.

    We utilized Ludger’s Catering for both rehearsal dinner and cocktail hour. They did a very professional job at both venues. The food was amazing—everyone raved about it! The presentation of the food, design of tables, centerpieces, etc. was superb. They paid great attention to detail and the guests noticed. During the selection process, they allowed us to taste the food so we could establish our ideal menu. They worked with us on changes of guests in attendance numerous times and were accommodating to those who prefer gluten-free items. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

    We had a champagne brunch after our wedding that was delicious! They met with us, had a tasting for us, helped us pick our tablecloths, etc., delivered everything and packaged the leftovers when they did the cleanup. We had many compliments on how good the food was and how lovely the service was. They even served our wedding cake!
