    Very Good Food

    My husband and I had Morton's cater our wedding. The food was absolutely delicious, the wait staff was very good, and the booking was seamless and easy. We had great communication with them throughout the planning process, and our event could not have gone better food-wise!

    Presbyterian Church of Okemos

    Morton’s catered our church’s 60th Anniversary Celebration and did an outstanding job before, during and after our event! From our first contact through to the event itself, they were extremely professional while being very friendly, flexible, helpful and accommodating. The food and service were excellent and at the event the entire staff was again outstanding . We would highly recommend them to anyone and are now convinced that they are our first choice for any event forever!!

    So glad we went with Morton's

    Wow. Morton's Fine Catering was an absolute joy to work with and did a phenomenal job. We first reached out to them because their website listed everything they provide and their prices which was a HUGE time saver compared to other companies who want to make a whole meeting to go over that stuff. We were able to see if they had food we'd like and in our price point from the get-go. Brenda was who we were in contact with up until our reception day and she was incredibly polite, helpful, informative, and patient. I even asked her if I could tip her because she was so great to talk to. On the day of, the team showed up on time, the woman in charge introduced herself to me, and they set up so quickly without making much noise at all. We had ordered five appetizers and it was all delicious. I had multiple people tell me how great it was. Using the same two tables the appetizers were on, the team switched it out to our dinner buffet, and again, the food was delicious. The place settings were beautiful, the buffet noted what each option was, and the servers were on top of things. When everyone was done eating, the team took everything down and slipped out without anyone barely noticing. At the end of the night, my husband and I did realize something that made us smile - we had a table set up with two things: paper toasts and flour. The paper toasts were there for people to write toasts/kind words on for us. The flour was because my husband is a chef and, as a unity type thing, he wanted our guests to throw flour into one new container that he'd use to make a

    The best caterers ever!

    Our wedding of June 2020 was delayed due to covid and the first thing we did when we chose a 2021 date was call Morton's to see if they were available because we had heard such great things. They were incredibly helpful and flexible. Above all, their food was out of this world. All the guests said they thought it was from a restaurant it was unlike any catered food they had ever had. We did buffet style and everything was so fresh and delicious. Would recommend for literally any and every group event!

    Amazing food and wonderful staff

    Morton's was great to work with -- we had great communication with them leading up to the event, and we were confident going in that everything was going to go well. The food was incredible -- guests gave so many compliments about dinner. (We are still getting compliments about dinner!) The staff was all on point -- very helpful, friendly, and able to get in front of everything. We had a small scheduling issue with our cake arrival and the staff got out in front of that and made everything look perfect and professional. We really appreciated everyone's hard work, and we're grateful they were there to make our reception and cocktail hour go wonderfully. I definitely recommend Morton's!

    Amazing service and great food

    We were so pleased with the catering from Mortons. Working with Brenda in the very beginning was a breeze- she was very organized and respectful of the budget I gave her. She came up with a wonderful menu for us that tasted great (mushroom pork as the entree, for the record). We had a small hang up with the tablecloths and they sent someone to our venue with replacements that same day so we could finish set up on time. Rae and her team of servers were very professional and found our parents to make sure they knew how dinner was being handled and to make them feel comfortable. They assisted with our cake cutting and were there to help clean up at the end. Very glad we spent the money on their professional service, they were great to work with and I can't recommend them enough!

    The food was a very important part of my wedding. I wanted delicious food that everyone would appreciate and Morton's Fine Dining delivered! I highly recommend for anyone who is truly interested in serving quality food for a reasonable price. Brenda was great at communicating with me during the planning phase. We had quite a few adjustments to the menu over time and she was quick to make them. We had an amazing tasting where I was able to fine tune what was served. Then the day of the staff was extremely professional. I would definitely book Morton's Fine Dining again.

    Morton's was terrific!! We choose them because we felt that the food looked/tasted 'high-end' for a reasonable price. We had horderves (which our guests RAVED about!!), a buffet, bar package (they brought the drink mixers, garnishes, etc.) and bartenders all through Morton's. The service was great, especially the bartenders! Beth was just really great to work with as she was very professional and a prompt communicator. Overall great experience!

    We worked with Morton's for our cocktail hour food and drinks, bartenders for the entire evening, and food for our reception. Everything that was prepared for our wedding was done beautifully and tasted incredible. We had a buffet with the Michigan cherry chicken and a mustard flavored salmon. Everything was delicious, and the service provided by Morton's was exceptional. I am so glad we went with them for our wedding and would recommend them to anyone getting married in the Lansing area. Beth was great at planning and helping us work out every single detail. Her staff was friendly and professional the day of, and I can't say it enough how great the food was. We received compliments from our guests for days after the wedding.

    Morton's catered our wedding last Saturday at Michigan State - DELICIOUS food and great service!

    As we were planning a 'destination' wedding in Michigan from FL and CA, my mom and I met in East Lansing for one short weekend in March and had a barrage of appointments, including one with Beth for a tasting of Morton's food. We very much enjoyed everything we tasted, and Beth was extremely knowledgable about catering and planning - which was extremely helpful to us!

    In the days leading up to the wedding, we realized we had forgotten a few things - ie, cake plates and forks for serving - oops! Beth assured us this was not an issue, and we were able to add last minute. The servers were very personable and professional, and the food at the wedding was excellent - and very reasonably priced! We opted for the Michigan chicken, the almond crusted white fish, and the prime rib and many of our guests had seconds and complimented us on the food during and after the reception.

    Beth and her team at Morton's are great, and I'd highly recommend them for any event!

    Our food at our wedding was amazing! If you love food and entertaining, then talk to beth and her husband at Morton's Fine Catering! Our wedding party was stunned and left asking where the dry chicken and bland mashed potatoes were. Beth even went and got the two of us seconds because we loved the food so much! She was so gracious and accommodating.

    We were able to pick unusual menu items like butternut squash enchiladas (totally authentic flavors--we live in Arizona now), Roast pork with michigan cherry sauce (which she personalized for us) and Wild Mushroom Bread pudding (a savory stuffing). Absolutely delicious. In addition, we had some custom drinks at the bar which the bartenders developed for us. Our guests loved the drinks.

    The Lakeview is not only a gorgeous setting, but also totally worth the drive for your guests. If you want a great party with fantastic food that your guests will NOT forget and actually eat (and not have to stop at McDonald's on the way home) then Morton's and The Lakeview are for you!

    They were so fantastic! Beth helped me figure everything out before the day of the wedding so it all ran smooth! The food was EXCELLENT, everyone raved about it and I lived on leftovers for days after. Their staff was helpful and pleasant and fun. I would highly recommend them to anyone for any size event!

    There is nothing I can say bad about Mortons. The one of the owners, Beth was so helpful! She was the nicest person, and she did anything to help us out! Not to mention the food, the chef was AMAZING! The food was prepared very well, and the buffet we had was great! I can't tell you how many of our guests told me that night, and even later how great the food turned out. To this day, my dad even says how great it was! I would reccommend them to anyone!

    We hired Morton's after attending a friend's wedding and enjoying their food. Our wedding had approximately 80 guests and we had the Taste of Michigan menu that Morton's offered. The food was really good and very fresh. Loved the white bean bruschetta, pork dish with mushrooms, and the Michigan cherry chicken. They had amazing chocolate covered strawberries as well. The staff was very prompt at serving and clearing dishes. Everyone was very professional. Beth does a great job at picking things that go very well together. Everything had such great flavor and was really well prepared. They were also very accommodating when we originally thought we would have vegans attending. They had good vegetarian options and were willing to work out options for a dairy allergy. My only very minor negative comment was that they cleared the appetizers too quickly and some of the wedding party didn't get to enjoy them - but we also didn't communicate that we would have liked them left out. Their prices are very reasonable for the quality of food. We also hired their staff to bartend because our venue allowed us to bring our own alcohol. The bartender was wonderful as well. We received a lot of complements - thank you, Morton's!

    Beth and her team were AMAZING. I know I'm biased because it was my wedding but, the food was excellent, and the best wedding food I have ever had. Beth was really easy to work with and helped us get the meal we wanted and even got us special items, like cider and donuts! Even when we had an issue with the hall Beth was there to save the day and work around it so that we didn’t have any issues. My new husband works in Lansing politics and has had their food many times is will also be recommending Morton’s to all of his colleagues as well. I HIGHLY recommend Beth and Morton’s to every bride; they will make everything go so smoothly and it was perfect, thanks Beth!

    The food that Morton's provided was fantastic! I keep getting compliments about it! The wait staff and bar staff were amazing. They made sure everything ran smoothly and made sure that the bride, groom, and parents sat down for at least a little while to eat :) I can't thank them enough for the great job they did. My only complaint is that email communication is a bit slow and that can be stressful two weeks before your big day!

    I used Morton's for my wedding, and the experience wasn't great. Beth was very responsive at first, when I was looking into using them, but after booking she seemed to fall off the face of the earth. It was very difficult to get ahold of her and I had a very hard time working on things with her until right before the wedding. They made it very difficult for us to set up a tasting, which was very important to us, and were reluctant to make us the dishes we wanted to try. On the day of the event, there were a few mistakes in our food, and I was shocked that when we told Beth, her first reaction was to say that was how we had wanted it instead of just to take steps to fix the mistake. I will say that the food (that was correct) tasted great! They certainly make delicious food, but the struggle to get good service didn't make it worth it for me.

    Ran out of food for our guests

    If we could have gone back and changed one thing about our otherwise lovely wedding day, it would have been to select a caterer other than Morton's. Put bluntly, they did not prepare enough food for all of our guests, even after we told them to prepare for a higher number of guests than ended up coming. Two tables at our wedding did not get a meal, including the table with our wedding officiant, and Morton's staff offered to "order them pizza." We had people drive in from out of town to be offered pizza. It almost sounds too ludicrous to be true. If you are considering having Morton's cater your wedding, I would encourage you to at least sit down with other caterers in the area, as Morton's is not the only one, despite the way they make it seem. Another caterer we spoke with had warned me that Morton's has this problem, but when I asked Beth Morton point blank, she basically scoffed and said that of course they always prepare enough, and I believed her. I could have forgiven the blunder, terrible as it was, had they immediately told us, apologized, and made it right. But our wedding was in October of 2018, and we JUST learned of this embarrassing situation from friends who had been trying to spare us the humiliation by not telling us, but finally did. I cannot believe that this happened, that no one from Morton's told my husband or myself, and that they just tried to pass it off by offering to order our guests pizza, with no other form of remediation even considered. As happy as our wedding day was, now I will always look back on it with this cloud of disappointment and embarrassment that our caterer failed so spectacularly to render the services for which we paid. Is this not the most basic expectation a bride should have for a caterer? The food can be average, but for goodness' sake there needs to be enough for everyone. I suspect that their under-preparedness and lack of concern to fix the situation was because my husband and I, two graduate students on a budget, opted for one of their least expensive packages. It's a shame that they feel customers who aren't paying as much don't deserve the respect of having all of their guests fed.

    I took a big risk switching caterers a few months before our recent wedding. After a conversation with the friendly chef, a look at their packages (which would save extra money based upon the linens, place settings & coffee included), and a look at their reviews….I booked Morton’s. This is the only regret I have about our wedding day. I should have trusted my gut when I showed up for the tasting and they served us 3 dishes with nuts, after a conversation I had about this being a nut-free meal, due to my allergies. The scalloped potatoes were so good I was willing to give it another go….what a mistake. The afternoon of our wedding, apparently the staff ran into problems with the water line during set up for our outdoor reception. They never contacted our list of contacts to make us aware of the problem. We could’ve fixed the water with a quick call. After we were introduced to our wedding party we quickly realized no water had been served to any of our guests and in fact, there were no glasses. I talked to the staff member in charge on site. She was extremely rude to me in front of my entire bridal party and blamed all problems on my mother in law. I asked her for solutions and not finger pointing, and she walked away, problem unresolved. I looked over at a table full of elderly guests with nothing to drink furious and sad. My bridal party went out and purchased more liquor to make up for the lack of water. The food served was ok...yes, nut free. They also completely forgot the coffee service included in our package and the milk I requested to serve with the cake. Their bartender did not follow the drink recipes for our signature cocktails. cocktails, or have drinks poured out in advance as agreed. I have exchanged emails with the owner since the wedding. She apologized and refunded 50% of the labor fee, the cost of the water glasses, and coffee service. While I appreciate the credit, a couple hundred dollars can't make up for the stress and embarrassment.
