Madelyn Sent on 06/04/2022Delicious doesn't begin to describe their food!
Let me preface my long-overdue review with this...having a "destination" wedding is very difficult when you don't know the area, the vendors, etc. But Leah and Serge couldn't have made it any easier for us! Our daughter was married at Legacy Acres in February, and we hired Vibrant Occasions to be our caterer for the event. We flew in for a tasting after NUMEROUS phone conversations and emails. Leah opened their headquarters just for us on a Saturday (when you know they're already busy as heck with orders) and we tasted many different food options from apps to entrees to sides to desserts. All were incredibly good, with great detail, quality, and preparation. We went from originally wanting a sit-down 3-course meal to rounds of passed hors d'oeuvres, food stations, and a late-night snack. Again, Leah worked with us and our many changes, without complaint and knocked it out of the park! That girl has the patience of a Saint!! We started with the passed hors d'oeuvres during the cocktail hour, which included Bacon-Wrapped Cocktail Smokies, Spinach Artichoke Crostini, Mini New England Crab Cakes, and Cajun Shrimp Shooters. We moved into the "action" stations once the bride and groom arrived. This was fantastic as they set up stations on both sides of the venue to alleviate the ugly lines that we all hate so much at weddings! One side had Grilled Chicken Sliders, Ham & Cheese Sliders on Garlic Cheddar Biscuit, A Dinner Salad w/choice of dressings, House Made Potato Chips, then one of my favorites, the Macaroni & Cheese Bar with ALL the toppings you could wish for! The other side of the room had the taco action station where they served Korean BBQ tacos, Chili Lime Shrimp Tacos, a Vegetarian Taco, and of course a few sauces to accompany them. And the tacos were made to order!! Even had a Vegan option - the Stuffed Zucchini Boats! But my favorite part of the night was the last action station, which we opened at 9:30 pm... The late-night snack, which after dancing and drinking for hours was FANFREAKINGTASTIC!! Cheesesteak Sandwich baby! A Shaved Black Angus prime strip steak seared with fresh peppers and onions on a toasted hoagie roll topped with Jalapeno Cheese Sauce served with a side of Rosemary Au Jus for dipping. HELLO LOVER!! They even brought their mobile kitchen to Legacy to ensure the food was hot for our guests! As you can see from the pictures provided, the food was incredible! I cannot thank the team at Vibrant enough for all they did for our daughter's special day. From Leah/Serge to the servers, the cooks, the runners, etc. All were professional, prompt, polite, and extremely skilled in food service. We would hire them again in a second, but you should hire them NOW for your special occasion! -

AMAZING!! Vibrant Occasions took on so much more than they even had to on my wedding day. Anything that came up that they could take care of they did. The team was incredible and so nice. If there was ever a single hang up I had NO idea. The food was INCREDIBLE. We utilized their bartenders and I can't say I ever saw a line waiting for drinks. Vibrant Occasions even cut my wedding cake. This place knows what they're doing and their team from top to bottom through my entire experience made this stressful time so much more enjoyable. So thankful to have had them part of our big day. -

Sydney Sent on 11/17/2020Excellent!
Vibrant Occasions was great to work with! From the beginning of wedding planning, to after the big day, Mary and her team were extremely responsive and helpful in all ways possible. They made suggestions to reduce cost, inserted a professional opinion on areas needed and were each extremely well versed with wedding catering. We are still getting compliments on the food and service! Would do it all over again with Vibrant Occasions! -

Joanna Sent on 10/14/2020Best Meal Ever on the Best Day Ever!
If you want to have the BEST meal of your life on the BEST day of your life (or any day lol), this is who you need to book! Serge, Mary, Leah, and the entire VO team are all very professional, easy to work with, and very kind! It's obvious that they truly care and have a passion for what they do... that goes a long way! Everything we chose was customizable, although our food was SO GOOD at the tasting that nothing had to be changed! We had SO MANY compliments on the food from our wedding. Even my Pastor preached about it from the pulpit the next day! lol
P.S. I HIGHLY recommend the Banana Foster Action Station... it was a HUGE HIT with the guests! -

Oh my goodness, I can not say ENOUGH wonderful things about Vibrant Occasions. They were the most amazing people to work with. Even through planning a pandemic, they made the whole process so easy and stress free, from the first meeting, to tastings, to the actual event. And don't even get me started on the actual food!! It was some of the best food I have ever eaten. I am still getting calls a month after our wedding with comments on how amazing the food was. I also so appreciated the fact that they gave us a cooler with containers filled with all of the food from our wedding from the appetizers to the cake. Oh, and they wrapped our top tier up for us to freeze. Mary and Serge are so great, and Leah is absolutely amazing! If you need a caterer, this is the ONLY place to go!!! -

Oh my stars - this food! Leah and Serge are AMAZING! We ordered the parmesan panko chicken and the pale ale braised brisket, which were both delicious! They topped it off with their Yukon gold potatoes and fresh vegetables. It was our wedding day and yes, I had people to go talk to, but I was definitely going to eat my food! They even made charcuterie boards, fruit tarts, and yummy salads! Not only that, but they even made us a to-go back for my husband and I to take when we left the wedding, complete with everything down to the utensils, plates, and napkins. They were so accommodating, too! Not only did they accommodate us when we had to move our wedding date up due to the threat of the COVID-19 virus but they also made sure to have dishes for our guests with dietary restrictions! We 10/10 highly recommend! -

Leah made it so easy to order everything we needed for our wedding. She was so helpful, answered and stayed in communication right up to delivery.
The food was great and made for an awesome breakfast the next day too!
If we had to do it all again, I would definitely go with Vibrant Occasions again! -

Kathy Sent on 09/14/2019Spectacular Reception Experience
We planned a destination wedding in Hot Springs taking place on August 31, 2019. We looked at many caterers to provide the reception dinner, ultimately selecting Vibrant Occasions.
Owner Mary Krikorian was an absolute joy to work with. Her suggestions and flexibility were invaluable. There is a wide array of dining options and other services.
The reception dinner presentation was beautiful and the dinner wonderful! The staff performed well above my expectations. Very friendly and attentive!
I would recommend Mary to anyone whose is planning a special event
Her business is aptly named, as Mary made sure that our "Occasion" was truly "Vibrant"! -

Ricquel Sent on 06/27/2017This was, hands down, the BEST food I've ever had at a wedding. Maybe ever. It was so good, while I was trying to sneak a plate one of my guests tapped me on the shoulder and said, "you're really going to enjoy that!" Everyone is still talking about the food! We had a black angus tenderloin station where they cut the steak to order and it was so tender! It came with a couple of different sauces and they were both divine! We also had a pasta station with tons of toppings and add ins; you got to choose everything you wanted in your pasta and they cooked it to order right in front of you. It was incredible and so good! We also had bananas foster as a supplement to our wedding cake and they cooked it to order, the guests loved when they added the liquor and the flames shot up. It was an excellent experience.! Serge and Mary Krikorian and their entire staff were so fun and happy at the wedding and they were also very easy to correspond with prior to the wedding. We are four hours away, so did everything via email and it was a very simple and easy process. Highly recommend them! -

Carmen Sent on 08/23/2015My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Dinner's Ready for our wedding. The staff was an absolute joy to work with. They were very professional and truly cared about making our experience the best. The food was delicious! Our guests were raving about the food for days. I would definitely recommend using Dinner's Ready for your big day. -

Leah Sent on 06/19/2014I did notice we ran out of food by the time the groom and I were able to go through the line. But I also think some of the guys piled their plates on. I think some people thought it was a meal when it was just supposed to be snacks. I loved the food tables they looked beautiful! -
