    Best Food at a Wedding Ever!

    I cannot say enough great things about Putnum Inn. From our tasting, to adjusting numbers (after already turning in our final count) to the day of my daughter's wedding. The food was amazing and our guests raved about it even going as far as to say it was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding. The serving staff were very professional and unobtrusive. Rhonda was a joy to work with and became more like a friend than a vendor. I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting amazing food at an affordable price.

    Amazing food at our wedding

    Putnam Inn did the catering for our wedding and we were very happy with their services. The food was amazing and the guests loved it. They were also very communicative through the wedding planning process, and seemed very organized from the time of our food tasting throughout the wedding day. Definitely would recommend!

    one-stop-shop

    Rhonda was extremely helpful throughout the whole process and could be a "one-stop-shop" with her vast wedding resources. She really came through by dropping off tablecloths the day before and packed up leftovers herself, which had to be brought back the day after the event. Our guests loved her cooking and the chocolate fountain too!

    "Best food I've ever had at a wedding!"

    That was an exact quote from one of our guests. We could not have picked a better caterer for our wedding. From the tasting to the service day of, everything was above and beyond what we had expected. Rhonda worked with us to create the perfect menu for our event, even adding in some things that aren't normally on the menu because someone had an allergy or because it was the groom's favorite side. I don't think you'll find a nicer team anywhere. The day of the wedding everything was ready to go and the staff there worked seamlessly to keep food filled and clear plates from our guests and never once did it seem like they were "in the way". The staff at our event was also very kind.
    While all of that is important, I can not say enough good things about the food. I think the food may have gotten more compliments than I did, but for good reason. Everything had great taste, it is some of the best fried chicken I think I've ever had in my life.
    Possibly the only thing better than the food and service (which was hard to beat) was the price. I feel that we paid an unbelievably good price for our package. We did the Let's Cookout package, and no other caterer that we looked at before finding the Putnam Inn came close to the price and value we received.
    I have been recommending them to everyone, and if I am ever planning an event that needs a caterer again, I know who I am calling.

    Food that feels like family

    Rhonda from Putnam Inn was the absolute best! When I came into town for the tasting, she pulled out the works for me, my husband, and my parents. She allowed us to taste almost everything off the catering menu and took the time to answer all of our big and little questions. We were so impressed with her and the staff that we signed a contract between tasting the main courses and dessert.

    The day-of the wedding, their staff loaded in and set up without a disruption to the day. Rhonda personally served the head table and was such a delight. The food the day-of was just as good as when we tasted it straight out of the oven during our tasting. All of our guests complimented on how good the food tasted and loved every bit of it. They also helped us with our dessert bar which was a huge help to our cake budget.

    If you're looking for something unique in your food, look no further! The choices at Putnam Inn are vast and everything tastes amazing, you can't go wrong.

    Wedding 5-11-2019

    We used the Putnam Inn for our wedding and let me tell you it was beyond fantastic! Food was delicious, guests talked about how great the food was, and not to mention the service. Staff was around helping everyone with anything they needed... making sure everyone was happy! Set up was beautiful as well. 100% recommended using them!

    Putnam Inn's reply:

    Thank you so much Kristen! You have a beautiful family and the venue was amazing! I'm so glad we were a part of your memorable day. Best wishes to you all!

    Flexible professional and fun! The Putnam Inn is fantastic!

    The Putnam Inn made our wedding day extra special with a super fun and delicious “Breakfast for Dinner” theme! From the biscuits and gravy, to the cheesey hash brown casserole, cinnamon rolls and more; our guests raved about our food! We had a super fun bartender for the evening, all of the staff were great! The Putnam Inn also created our wedding cake which was also perfect!

    Putnam Inn Catering

    The food was authentic, tasty and fabulous. The price was very reasonable. The professionalism but down-to-Earth nature Rhonda displayed was refreshing. Any question I had I contacted her through email and she responded within a few hours. She was also very flexible as things changed and she was willing to adapt. When they arrived to the venue, everything was very organized and there was a lot of support and wait staff to help assist with preparing the food, ensuring the food was always replenished, all beverages were kept full and plates were gathered at the end of the meal in a quick and efficient manner. The wait staff was extremely friendly and helpful! The only issue I had was that none of the food we paid for was left behind, it was taken back to the restaurant. This was somewhat disappointing to hear. We had paid for 175 people but ended up having approximately 120 guests. But other than that, great experience and awesome food! P.S. the appetizer meatballs were a huge hit and were gone quickly--I wish we had ordered more! We never got to taste them but heard how amazing they were!

    Wedding Caterer

    I used Putnam Inn as the caterer for my wedding, and I could not have been happier. Rhonda made the planning so easy. I had multiple special requests due to food allergies and restrictions, all of which were completely taken care of! Many people complimented the food after the wedding. The entire process was so stress free, and the food was great! I would definitely recommend them.

    Putnam Inn's reply:

    Thank you so much for this kind review. We love being a part of these specials days and it's even more rewarding after reading comments like this.

    Wedding 9/15/2018

    I can’t say enough about the wonderful food and service on our wedding day. From the very beginning Rhonda was very flexible and helpful with plans for our outdoor reception. Everything was delicious! I would highly recommend Putnam Inn for any event. They are on time, professional, and affordable!

    Putnam Inn's reply:

    Thank you Emily! It was a beautiful day! I wish you and Keagan a lifetime of happiness and many many more beautiful days!

    Everything was excellent! We could not have been happier!

    The planning process was professional and very helpful. We felt like every detail was covered and that we were in good hands. We felt like there were so many options with the food as well as the extra details that we could have things just as we wanted them. The food was wonderful. We got so many compliments from our guests. The service was fantastic! Again, there were so many comments about how professional and pleasant the servers were. Rhonda was amazing as well! We felt so lucky to have Putnam Inn taking care of us on our special day!

    Great Service!

    Putnam Inn was our caterer for our wedding. Everyone that was involved was professional, welcoming, and made sure everything went well. The food was amazing! Everyone did a great job serving everyone in a quick manner, cutting our wedding cake, and helping us clean up. I would recommend Rhonda and the Putnam Inn staff to anyone!

    Amazing experience for my wedding

    I couldn't be happier to have Putnam Inn Family Restaurant cater my wedding. The food was wonderful and my guests love it, but just as great was the experience in planning the meal. I went in for a tasting to try multiple dishes, and she was so helpful in providing all the info I needed. We also used the bar service, which was great as well.

    Putnam Inn was perfect!

    The Putnam Inn catered our wedding on the DePauw University campus. They exceeded our expectations. They set tables, added water bottles due to the warm day and had everything perfectly ready when we walked in from the ceremony. The food and appetizers were delicious and everyone loved it, compliments were abundant! They provided everything, the appetizers, meal, drinks and our bar, one stop shop. They were professional and easy to work with I would not hesitate to use them again. Thank you Putnam Inn for a great day!

    Putnam Inn's reply:

    Thanks Taylor! I'm so glad we were able to surprise Austin with the sweet potato casserole he loves so much. Campus was a beautiful setting for your reception. What a fun night it was!

    Above All Expectations!

    The team, quality of food, options of packages, services, etc - all was outstanding! This was not only the best bang for our buck, but the ribs/chicken and all sides were beyond what we expected. Our guests were full and talk about our food to this day!

    Putnam Inn's reply:

    This is what I love to hear! So many of my brides want the ribs but are worried about the mess. I'm so glad you loved them! There was no mess at all. You were stunning!

    Excellent food/service- very resonalbly priced!

    The Putnam Inn crew made the trip to Bloomington to cater my daughters wedding. They were more than willing to accommodate our request/needs in any way possible. I can not imagine how it could've been any better. The Staff was extremely professional & courteous, and the food was not only hot, but delicious. No detail was overlooked. People are still complementing on how wonderfully everything turned out. I've been to several events where other bigger, Indianapolis caterers were hired, (where I know for fact) for much more than I'd paid, and the food is always just marginal, and half the time cold. If you are looking for a way to relieve your stress level during a big event, just hire Putnam Inn for your catering needs, you won't be disappointed!

    Amazing! The very best!

    We LOVE the Putnam Inn! Without Rhonda, we truly could not have had the beautiful wedding we had, Rhonda was flexible with us to meet our budget while not sacrificing quality and service. The service before and day of, for our wedding was amazing. I have recommended the Putnam Inn for friends weddings and also use them constantly for catering for our events at school. They ALWAYS knock it out of the park! I can hardly begin to explain how amazing the Putnam Inn is, every single aspect of their service! And the food is soooo good! Our guests are our wedding raved about the food, how often does that happen?! Most people hardly remember the food, but it was a highlight at our wedding. We also used the Putnam Inn for our bar and they were so flexible here with our budget as well, and were able to include sangria for cocktail hour! It was so nice how we were able to do so many things with the Putnam Inn, including linens, plates and silverware. We also had a champagne toast that the staff passed around to each guest. In addition, coming from Pittsburgh we have a tradition of cookie tables, while Rhonda and her staff had never done a cookie table, they were excited and super helpful in making sure this tradition continued here for us. They helped collect the cookies and set them out for us at the wedding. Again, too many great things! They are the very best!!

    Putnam Inn's reply:

    Thanks so much Megan! You and your family were amazing to work with as well. The cookie table is such a cool tradition! Thanks again for letting us serve you on that beautiful day!

    Great food & service

    We hired Putnam Inn to cater our June 19, 2021 wedding. We went over their food options in the wedding package & asked for a food tasting. It all tasted fantastic & we chose our menu for the reception.

    Rhonda is easy to work with, flexible with the menu options and extremely organized. They served the bridal party lunch at Owl Ridge & delivered the grooms party lunch at our house.

    The set up was pretty and functional. Food was hot & delicious. For appetizers we had their meatballs, caprese kabobs and stuffed peppers. Everyone goes crazy over their peppers. It was a must have from a wedding we had attended earlier in the year.

    For dinner, Caesar salad along with prime rib and chicken parm for main course. Sides were steamed veggies, loaded mashed potatoes, macaroni & cheese. It was all hot and scrumptious. We had many compliments about the food.

    Dessert we also had a berry cobbler and an apple crisp with vanilla ice cream. People really loved the cobbler.

    The staff was professional and efficient in serving and cleaning up. Highly recommend them for an event.

    We also had an open bar and they were on it! We had Sam & Brad and they helped keep the party going with their personalities & ability to keep up with demand. Drinks were good! Passion fruit margaritas were a hit with the ladies.

    Delicious!

    We were so impressed with Putnam Inn. The food was absolutely incredible and we received multiple compliments from our guests about how great the food was. You do pay for what you get, but it was so worth it. HIGHLY recommend them. Rhonda was very quick to return all of my emails which I really appreciated. The staff was polite and very professional. With COVID concerns, my wife and I really appreciated their carefulness in making sure everyone's safety was a priority.

    Food was good but they ran out close to the end of the line. I would recommend but wish they would have brought more for everyone to get seconds.
