  Emili and her team really out did themselves! Our guests couldn't stop talking about the bread and honey butter! They made sure my husband and I had a chance to eat. They even came up and offered us seconds! Delicious foods, beautiful presentation. 100% recommend to anyone looking for a great dinner that is budget friendly!

  Whatever Works was fantastic to work with! The food is delicious, super reasonably priced, and Emili is wonderful to work with!
  She helped me with planning, set-up, rentals, and made sure that we ate on our wedding day.
  We had so many wedding guests come up to us after dinner and compliment the food. If you are looking for a reasonable, organized, professional caterer, call Whatever Works!

  I spoke to several other caterers and getting a timely response was a huge issue. Absolutely loved everything about whatever works catering. When I called or emailed, I received an email or callback the same day. The food was absolutely delicious. Many of our guests commented on how good the food and the appetizers were.
  I didn't want to hire a wedding planner since it is so expensive but Whatever Works offer their services for the setup of the reception as well. I loved that I could just enjoy the ceremony knowing that Emili and her staff were taking care of the setup of the tables and decorations of our park wedding at the meantime.

  The best choice!

  I cannot recommend Whatever Works Catering more! They were our first choice from the start and I'm glad we were able to get on their calendar for our wedding. Emili and her team were a dream to work with and the amount of compliments over the food were so frequent. Emili made sure we were taken care of the entire time and made sure we took the time to enjoy our food together. From the main entrees down to the bread tower, this food was sooo good.

  Delicious and efficient

  They were super easy to work with and a great meal for the price! The guests all raved about how great the meal was. The servers were very nice and professional and made sure my husband and I were served up first, and even took our drink order for the bar. As a bride who needed food- this was more then appreciated! The food was different then the standard BBQ I saw every where and that stood out to me as someone looking to buy dinner and to my guests as well.

  Yummy food

  The food was so tasty and everyone loved it. Whatever works catering was very accommodating as we only wanted to have appetizers. They let us switch out specific items for something else.
  Their display was set up very nicely.
  All our guests enjoyed their options.

  My guests are still raving about the dinner we served at my wedding! Emili and her staff at Whatever Works Catering went above and beyond to help us develop a menu that everyone loved. From the first time we met up with Emili, she was warm, responsive, and lovely to work with. She was very respectful of my food allergies. She also provided us with a list of items that brides and grooms often forget, which included suggestions on the types of tables to rent (I found it very helpful!).

  The food at our wedding was incredible, and as I said, people are still telling me how much they enjoyed it. My mom wound up with the leftovers (which Emili packed up nicely for us) and declared the lemon artichoke chicken a winner. My husband was in love with the roasted red potatoes and the mushroom beef. No one could get enough of the cranberry crunch salad or the bread and honey butter. Seriously, everything was a hit. Emili served it with such professionalism and made our reception run smoothly. She ensured that we got to eat, and she and her staff were so on top of bussing and assisting guests that everything felt seamless.
  
  Whatever Works Catering was an absolute joy to work with, and the food was so delicious. Emili is the whole package - I can't praise her and her business highly enough!

  Emili and her girls are amazing. I think everyone agrees that the best part of my reception was all the scrumptious food!! She gave me advice on which foods would stretch the most so I could stay within my budget. Usually there's at least one dish that people don't like, but everything was simply delicious. Thank you so much!!

  I had an EXCELLENT time working with Emili to create a tasty menu for my wedding that was budget-friendly. She went above and beyond the call of duty. From the first coffee shop meeting to introduce ourselves, to the free tasting of menu items with friends, to meeting at the venue to visualize a layout, to coordinating rental services, to personally bringing my new husband and I our full plates of food at the reception, Emili was professional, personable, and irreplaceable. I would highly recommend contracting with Whatever Works Catering. The guests at the wedding enjoyed the meal, and many told me afterward that they went back for a second plate. This company has a solid work ethic, attention to detail, and dedication to quality.

  I visited with three other catering companies and all of them were difficult and tried to tell me that my choices weren't good ones. Camille was so easy to work with and whatever we wanted she was willing to do. Everything looked great. She helped us order the perfect amount of food so we didn't have tons of left overs. It was perfect!

  Emili and her team prepared an affordable meal that everyone loved. She was very willing to change dishes to our liking and the buffet was beautifully presented. Whatever Works helped with set up, helped plan our venue space and assisted with rentals, and even cut our cake (a HUGE help) during our reception. A great value and a great find in Boise.

  Loved Whatever Works

  We are so happy with Whatever Works. Catering is probably the biggest decision you will make for your wedding. We were in good hands with WW. They answered all of our questions throughout the process and worked with us every step of the way. Their staff is very friendly and most importantly, their food is amazing. As we walked around meeting guests, I saw that their plates were wiped clean! We worked with Emili and she was really great and on top of everything. Everything was flawless!

  Worst attitude

  Emili showed up with the worst attitude to my husband and my mother-in-law. She didn’t tell us she needed tables, I feel like that should have been mentioned ANYTIME before the day of the wedding. Luckily, the venue had extra tables we were able to use for her. She made my mother-in-law put together the iced tea and lemonade packets and she just gave us jugs of water. No ice for any of this either. Then we had to heat up all the food during our ceremony. I also ordered a single serving of the whiskey salmon for myself but she did not give it to us. Our food did NOT look like the pictures online. She was also... Read more

Our food did NOT look like the pictures online. She was also going to charge me $18 per serving spoon which is just insane. Over all I’m not happy with her service. Her only saving grace is that my guests said her food tasted good.
