    Amazing food and incredible experience!

    Totally Cooked was probably the best decision we made throughout our wedding planning process. Not only is the food amazing but the execution was beyond what I expected. We booked Totally Cooked probably a year and a half in advance, and although there was some turnover I never felt like the communication was lacking or that they were not prepared for our day. In fact, we had a number of communication/planning issues with our venue that left me feeling extremely stressed, and Totally Cooked made sure I knew we were in good hands. Our planning meeting with the venue ended up being double booked on the same day as another event, and the venue contact was a no show - but Paige from Totally Cooked just rolled with the punches and told me more than once "we've got you" and I didn't doubt it for a minute. I even sent her an email super late the night before our wedding with some updates/issues we ran into and she responded within two minutes and told me to rest assured that they would take care of everything and they 100% did. Thing I didn't even think to tell the team were taken care of like they had read my mind. The entire team that was there was so attentive and such a joy to talk to that I would 100% recommend Totally Cooked to anyone wanting amazing food and a stress free wedding!

    Outstanding Service and Great Food

    Totally Cooked was by far the most responsive and helpful vendor we dealt with on our wedding day. From the get-go our event coordinator Kennedy was extremely responsive and super helpful. I don’t think there was a time when an email went more than 2-3 hours without a response and the response was very clear and detailed. The team on site went above and beyond contracted duties to help out, and it was greatly appreciated. From helping to set up centerpieces and final table arrangements to helping with replenishing our dessert and s’more station, they were always willing to be an extra set of hands. The lead server Nicole was very attentive and continually checked in with me and my wife if we had any needs or things that she could get for us during the reception. It truly helped to make sure we were taken care of while we had so many other things taking our attention. The remainder of the staff was also wonderful. We have had several guests comment on the bartending service that they were extremely personable and helpful in making drink suggestions and keeping the flow of the line moving. Finally the food was just outstanding. Nearly every guest we have talked to since has brought up the food, and they all seemed to have a different favorite station which is a testament to how good each of them truly was.

    They did a great job!

    They gave us a good selection of food and very prompt with service. Very prepared and great customer service. They also went above that to help with a few things that were not connected to catering. Very pleased!

    Totally Cooked Event Management & Catering's reply:

    Brenda, thank you so much for your kind words! I am glad that you enjoyed our food and services beyond. I look forward to the possibility of working with you again in the future. All the best, Chelsea - Event Coordinator

    The BEST customer service!

    Kennedy is an incredible asset to the Totally Cooked team. We have been speaking with her for quite some time as we've been deciding on a wedding caterer. I cannot stress enough how amazing she was through the entire process -- helping us think through options, make decisions, drawing up budgets, and more. I would not hesitate to hire this vendor if you're considering them. From everything I can tell, they are trustworthy and helpful!

    Totally Cooked Event Management & Catering's reply:

    Katie, Thank you so much for the kind words, it truly means a lot! It was such a pleasure planning your big day, getting to hear all of your great ideas and allowing me to be apart of it all! Best wishes- Kennedy

    Effortless

    We hired Totally Cooked for our outdoor reception. They took care of the entire catering, setup, decoration, seating, and cleanup. They were professional and discreet, providing a casual and efficient dining experience for our guests. They were understanding of our needs and the presence of pets during the event. We would and have recommended them without reservation for both casual events like ours or more formal events.

    Totally Cooked was the best! The food was great, the workers were awesome, I had no hiccups the whole night! They packed up all of the left over food for us. They even contacted the cake business to find out when they were coming in. I do highly recommend them, Sarah was the best!

    Sara and her team were amazing from the first email contact to the last fork in place - everything was made simple for me, they were easy to deal with and it was done to perfection. Every email was answered promptly and the service day of was phenomenal. Now let's talk about the food - it was delicious, innovative and the talk of the reception, our guests were blown away by how good it was. We ordered the strawberry salad, pork tenderloin with both sauces and chicken romano with smoked gouda mac and cheese and veggies. We also had a coffee bar. EVERYTHING was fantastic. I wish i could eat the meal again! The catering was the easiest part of my wedding planning thanks to Sara and Totally Cooked. I can't wait to use them again.

    First let me say that weeks after our wedding people are still talking about the food!!! By far the best wedding gown food I have ever had. If you are looking for a team who is unique and friendly, one who will work outside of the box..... Then your search has ended. Book them now. Ask for Kristin. She's amazing. Oh yeah and give the pretzel bar a shot. It's a hit!!

    Sara and the entire Totally Cooked staff could not have been more helpful, more friendly or more professional. Every aspect of our interaction with them from the first time I called until the post-wedding follow-up were a positive experience. They helped us plan nearly every detail of the wedding reception+ And if you want amazing food, this is definitely the place to go. Especially when you look at the better than competitive pricing. Their experience and expertise made the day enjoyable and smooth for all the participants and guests which is no small task in weddings! Thanks to them, this was a fairy tale day for the bride and groom!

    We worked with Sara from Totally Cooked. In addition to all of the food, drinks and appetizers, we were able to also get all linens, tables, chairs, etc...through them. Their prices were reasonable and they were easy to work with. Everything seemed to run smooth at our reception even with set backs due to the weather.

    Do not look anywhere else but Totally Cooked Catering!! They were AMAZING!
    We changed the venue, no problem. We changed the time, no problem. We had a very casual open event with food stations. The selection and menu that Kristin helped us create was UNBELIEVABLE! Our guests still talk about the food, and rarely do people talk about the food served at a wedding, because it usually is mediocre at best. They traveled almost 2 hours each way to service us!
    They were so prompt, efficient and professional. One guest told me they saw Kristin "fanning" the antipasto table to keep random flys away, (the event was outside as well as indoors). Who does that?? The BEST people, that's who!!
    DO NOT GO ANYWHERE ELSE!!! Totally cooked is Totally the way to go!!!!

    Kristin yoho and her team at totally cooked knocked it out of the park for our wedding at Happy Days Lodge. We couldn't have asked for a better day. We had multiple meetings with Kristin and every meeting made john and I more relaxed about the wedding. The totally cooked staff made sure everything down to the decor was just how we had dreamt it. The food was amazing (beef brisket!!!!-the fave. chicken piccata mash potatoes and green beans ). Kristin helped us with our carnival themed cocktail hour where we had alcohol snow cones, flavored popcorn station, mini gyros and sausage and pepper skewers. It was super cute. But most of all it was the way they treated our guests, our family & friends. We noticed from our seats that they served elderly family members not able to go to the buffet when noticed and heard so many compliment for them from the guests on how wonderful they were. We would recommend Kristin and her staff to anyone and everyone planning a wedding. When people say you should feel like a guest at your own wedding, Kristin & the totally cooked actually make that happen !

    We worked with Sara from Totally Cooked and only have wonderful things to say of her and the other Totally Cooked staff. We had a barbecue/Southern food type feel at a winery. Sara answered every question promptly and kept us up to date every step of the way on pricing and other needs. She was in charge of ordering tables/chairs/silverware/linens for our reception and there were no issues at all! I cannot explain how flexible Totally Cooked is--if you have an idea or suggestion, they will accommodate it or offer more options. There were many times Sara stood up for us and our decisions when slight issues arose with our venue such as providing lemonade and s'mores. She was respectful of the venue coordinator but also stood behind our choices and lack of information given by the venue of what vendor was providing what for the reception. I think it takes a special person to maintain professionalism and tactfully negotiate between two sides for a positive and pain-free resolution. The afternoon before the wedding I mentioned wanting something different for the cake table other than a plain white linen and Sara came up with lace fabric to loosely drape and capture the feel....no extra charge. This doesn't even begin to cover the taste of the food which was incredible. We had barbecued pulled pork with several different sauce choices, grilled chicken, grilled fresh vegetables, mac and cheese, and their amazing potato salad. We also utilized their cheese/fruit display for cocktail hour and brought our own h'orderves, and also had their s'mores and lemonade. Their food tasted incredible and captured the Savannah garden theme that we wanted. We will be placing an order for lunch in the future to relive some of our wedding food because we didn't get enough chance to enjoy it on the day! Please check out this vendor.... Great food, wonderful staff, reasonable prices, THE BEST!!

    My husband and I decided to have Totally Cooked cater our wedding after we met with Sara. She could not have been more helpful to us in putting together an appetizer and dinner menu that fit our personalities and venue.
    Sara was fantastic throughout the whole process and was very prompt with any and all communication.
    On the day of the wedding, everything went smoothly and Sara and the rest of the Totally Cooked staff were amazing! Food and beverage was awaiting our guests immediately after the ceremony. The appetizers and crudités were displayed in a very elegant manner. A member of the staff even brought a plate of appetizers to myself and my husband (without evening asking) while we were taking pictures.
    Dinner was absolutely fantastic! We had 3 separate food stations; which included a pasta bar, an Asian station with sushi, lettuce wraps, and summer rolls, and a Southern station with a grits bar and pulled pork sliders. We have honestly lost count of the compliments we received about the food. The staff worked as hard as possible in getting our guests through the food line in an efficient manner. The bartenders were very polite and worked very hard to make sure our guests were well stocked with their drink of choice!
    From top to bottom, Totally Cooked came through in all areas, leaving us very happy with our choice of caterers. When you think about it, food and everything that goes along with it (beverage, appetizers, linens, etc.) are one of, if not the, most important thing about a wedding. Sara and her staff at Totally Cooked completely took the pressure off and came through for an amazing day. I would not hesitate to recommend Totally Cooked to anyone for their catering needs!

    Totally Cooked was an amazing catering vendor for our wedding. We were constantly impressed with their level of service. First, we have several vegetarians in the family so we asked about their vegetarian options and they gave us a really long list of veggie menu items that all sounded so good. We selected a few for our tasting and we were really impressed. We really liked the variety of food they offered and everything sounded really gourmet and tasty! We ended up having a mac n cheese bar, slider bar (with a hamburger and veggie patty option) and the pretzel crusted walleye. Everything was so good, but the mac n cheese and walleye were far and away the best. So many guests commented that it's the best food they've ever had at a wedding.
    On top of the quality of the food, the catering manager was so helpful and easy to work with. She was always willing to accommodate any idea or request we had along the way from the food options to venue layout to moving the bar from one location for the rehearsal dinner to another for the reception. We were able to order all of our chair, table, and linen rentals through them and the cost seemed very reasonable. I can't say enough good things about our experience with Totally Cooked.

    From our first call with Kristin, to the "last call" on our wedding night totally cooked went above and beyond our expectations. The food was fantastic, the service was just as good. I had multiple family members and friends mention how much they loved the food and service as well. Kristin and her staff are fantastic to work with, they interacted with our guests and made everyone feel very welcome. Our bartender was great, she had an awesome personality and got a long with everyone. I would highly recommend calling them for any event in which you would need a caterer. They are very professional, reliable and personable and are great at what they do. Totally Cooked made our special night that much more special. Thanks again to everyone at Totally Cooked especially Kristin!

    Not your average wedding food. Kristin and her team were amazing! She went above and beyond. Very unique and beatiful presentation. If you have a vision for your day she will make it happen. She brought my bacon bar, bbq, mac & cheese bar, lemondade stand to life. Simply gorgeous.
    Many of our quests commented that it was the "best wedding food they ever had."
    Awseome staff, accommodating, reliable, kind, and talented.
    Would HIGHLY reccommend, our favorite vendor that we worked with. Thanks for everything, you made it perfect.

    Totally Cooked did AWESOME at my outdoor Barn wedding! They were there ready to do more things than just catering. They did tables, lit candles, got the bartender food, and even sat with me before I walked down the isle, fanning me with whatever they could find! All of the staff, event coordinator down to table waiters were wonderful! I would suggest them for any even!
