Absolutely incredible catering and day of coordination!!
Wooden Paddle provided both catering and day of coordination for our May 2024 wedding, and we could literally not be happier with how everything went!!
Joelle and Miriam were truly the most incredible coordinators. They were so on top of the planning as we approached the wedding and helped us keep all the details straight, make timelines, communicate with vendors, and make sure nothing important was forgotten. On the day of, they were prepared for everything, made sure the day ran smoothly, and took all of the stress away so we could just be present and enjoy the day.
The catering was AMAZING - the food was incredible and all of our guests were absolutely thrilled. The charcuterie table was absolutely everything, and they even set aside a personal tray for us to make sure we got the chance to eat at cocktail hour! The pizza was truly wonderful, and they did an amazing job of coordinating personal pizzas for our guests with allergies. Our friends and family are still raving about our pizza wedding!
We are so incredibly happy with our experience with Wooden Paddle, thank you so much for the most wonderful wedding!!Wooden Paddle's reply:
What a beautiful wedding! It was our pleasure to be a part of one of the most special days of your life. Thank you! -

We had the pleasure of working with Wooden Paddle for our summer wedding, and I can’t speak highly enough about their service. From the moment we started planning, their team was incredibly attentive and accommodating. On the big day, the food was nothing short of spectacular—every dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious! Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the pizza's and pasta!
The service was equally impressive. The staff was professional, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. They truly helped make our wedding day unforgettable. If you’re looking for a caterer who delivers both outstanding food and exceptional service, Wooden Paddle is the way to go! -

Wooden paddle is AMAZING!! They catered our wedding on 4/27 and were an absolute hit with everyone in attendance. The staff was very helpful with overall setup and professional throughout the evening. Just as in their restaurant, the food was fantastic!! It’s a great alternative if you want delicious food that breaks away from the traditional. Also a good option to consider if your venue doesn’t come equipped with a full kitchen but you still want your food prepared on site.Wooden Paddle's reply:
Danielle! Thanks so much for the kind words. I was GUSHING when I saw your amazing dress and those awesome pictures you guys took with the paddles by the oven! Congratulations, again, and it was awesome working with you! -

Our wedding was made even more memorable thanks to the incredible catering provided by Wooden Paddle. From the first bite to the last, their pizzas were a culinary delight, leaving our guests raving about the flavors and quality. Not only were the pizzas delicious, but the service was exceptional—prompt, professional, and attentive to every detail. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and they effortlessly catered to our diverse dietary needs and preferences. With their rustic wood-fired oven and fresh, high-quality ingredients, charcuterie grazing table, and artsy drinks they brought the flavor to our special day. If you're looking to add a unique and delicious touch to your wedding, look no further than Wooden Paddle. They truly deserve every one of these five stars!Wooden Paddle's reply:
Hi Katie! Thank you soooo much for the kind words - and the five stars! We're thrilled to have been a part of your big day. Congrats on tying the knot, and we cannot wait to see you back in the restaurant! -

Wooden Paddle was there for us from start to finish, through planning the wedding until we were packing up leftovers to take home! I can not recommend them enough. The food was delicious and unique. I have never heard compliments on the food from wedding guests like we received thanks to Wooden Paddle. Everyone loved the appetizers, their pizzas, and extra compliments came from those guests with dietary restrictions. We had dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegetarian guests who all said our wedding had the best pizza they have ever had! On top of making our wedding more memorable and delicious, they also took time to discuss with us in depth what we needed and expected from our wedding. They worked with us every step of the way to make the whole process run as smoothly as possible. They made sure the stress and the mess of catering a wedding was taken care of, so we could just relax and enjoy our slices & signature cocktails (both of which, we had a few).Wooden Paddle's reply:
Thanks so much! We're fr *blushing* - it was such a pleasure keeping your guests happy and well-fed! Cheers to love, laughter, and lots of good eats! -

Wooden Paddle Wedding
Wooden Paddle catered our wedding on 12/15 and we could not have been happier! From the initial tasting to the night of the wedding, the crew at Wooden Paddle (specifically Miriam*) made the process simple and stress free! After going to a million weddings with the boring options of ‘meat, fish, or veggie’… we knew that was not the route we wanted to take for our own celebration. As a couple who eats pizza multiple times a week, who come from pizza loving families, we knew we had to give our guests the best wedding zas we could find… and we hit the jackpot with Wooden Paddle! The quality of pizzas, salads, pastas, and apps were aligned with the quality of their staff: outstanding! The food was fresh and hot on every table. Our guests are still raving about the wedding meal, and how often does that happen after a wedding of 220?? (Never!!) We’ve even had guests ask us for the address to Wooden Paddle so they can go there for dinner! Thank you to everyone at Wooden Paddle who made our night so memorable. We can’t wait to spend our future birthdays, anniversaries, and special events with you at the restaurant!Wooden Paddle's reply:
Hey Mary K thanks so much for trusting us to deliver on your special day. Hope to see you in the restaurant soon. -

Josh L. Sent on 12/27/2023Look no further! Wooden Paddle should be your ONLY choice!
Wooden Paddle is the perfect caterer for a wedding, plain and simple! We knew it was an excellent choice, but after our tasting, we knew 100% it was the right fit for our big day. All the point of contacts we worked with were wonderful. They were able to accommodate all our guests, including those with food allergies. Throughout the night, we received so many compliments on the tastiness of the food. We are still getting messages about how fun and unique a wedding food experience it was. The staff was friendly, accommodating, and very attentive. We even got the chance to make our own pizza before the ceremony! We cannot thank Wooden Paddle and the entire team enough for their exceptional work. We highly recommend and would use them again without hesitation. Thank you so much Wooden Paddle!Wooden Paddle's reply:
Hey Josh! So happy you were pleased with our service and we are honored you chose us! Hope to see you in the restaurant soon. -

Morgan M. Sent on 11/24/2023Best pizza on the best day
My husband and I used Wooden Paddle for our wedding in October 2023 and everything was phenomenal! The team was consultative and helpful from the time of our tasting through the event itself. Our guests were raving about the pizza, some stating that it was the best pizza they've ever had. Coming from an Italian family, that is high praise! One other standout feature was that WP was able to offer gluten-free and dairy-free options for our guests with food allergies. The guests with allergies were so grateful to have a special pizza all their own and shared that it was delicious and tasted like regular pizza. I could go on and on about our experience, but the long and short of it is, whether you're looking for a place to grab a great pizza with even better cocktails or want a unique experience for your wedding, Wooden Paddle has you covered. Thank you, Joelle and Miriam for making our day so special!Wooden Paddle's reply:
Morgan, Woo Hoo what a wonderful day! Thank you for trusting us to complete your vision. Hope to see you soon in the restaurant! -

Kian K. Sent on 10/26/2023The BEST wedding food EVER!!
I absolutely loved working with Wooden Paddle for our wedding! I wanted to serve something other than dry chicken or cold steak since wedding food is ALWAYS complained about no matter how much the Bride and Groom spends. The few weddings that I've been to before mine were always a disappointment in the food category. We always left feeling hungry and stopping at a McDonalds on our way home- INSANE to think about when catering is so expensive.
I went to Wooden Paddle with my fiancé and my two sisters for our tasting and the food easily made my decision! Working with the Wooden Paddle team was super easy- they were very responsive and accommodating. Every one of my guests RAVED about the food at our wedding- they couldn't get enough of it! Thankfully they all live in the area around where their restaurant is so we've already sent our guests there for date nights. We live out of state but we'll definitely be eating there every time we come back into town.
If you're looking for an alternative and don't want to do the same, bland catering food that people have done for YEARS, go with Wooden Paddle!! You want your guests to walk away with the experience that mine had.Wooden Paddle's reply:
Kian, thank you so very much for your kind words. It is always our goal to make your day just that much easier on you. Glad we were able to make a favorable impression. It was an honor to work with you on your special day. -

Had the absolute best experience with wooden paddle catering! From start to finish they were helpful, professional, and extremely efficient! They helped assist the set up and take down of our reception. But most importantly, the food was INCREDIBLE. Our guests could not stop talking about how much they loved it. We wanted to do something different than typical wedding food, and they were perfect. Delicious pizza and appetizers with an elevated presentation.Wooden Paddle's reply:

10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND!! We instantly fell in love with Wooden Paddle after our tasting. We were able to try every single dish on their catering menu, while having each dish individually explained to us. From the start, our Event Coordinator-Miriam, could not have been better. She answered every single question, idea and worry we had along the way. Miriam would always respond extremely fast and always made herself available. Come wedding day our experience was no different. WP came with a team that was ready to go. Our guests could not say enough good things about not only the food but the service provided by the catering staff. No one was ever left without food and the team was always making sure my husband and I were taken care of. We had quite a few guests with dietary restrictions and they handled it seamlessly. We even had a late night snack of White Castle and the team received the order from the delivery driver and quickly went into decorator mode and set out the White Castle boxes in an amazing display. PIZZA IS THE NEW CHICKEN & BEEF!! Our guests loved the pizza and the quality was not lost even when the team had to perform in the rain. We truly cannot thank the Wooden Paddle team enough, they made our wedding day a huge success!!!

Bre B. Sent on 09/19/2023The BEST Wedding Catering There Is
We had Wooden Paddle cater our wedding and it may have very well been the best decision of the whole wedding planning process!!!
From start to finish, the Wooden Paddle team was an absolute pleasure to work with. Chloe and Miriam were the dynamic duo that worked with us to figure out what was best for our special day.
We enjoyed the tasting in their restaurant and were completely blown away with that process as a whole. If we weren't already sold at the thought of having their pizza at our wedding, trying every delicious additional item was the "nail in the coffin" as they say. Every darn bite was more amazing than the last. We both were in AWE of everything. The hardest part of the whole process was narrowing down what we wanted. SO MANY DELICIOUS CHOICES.
As we got closer to the event, Chloe was absolutely wonderful with helping us make any changes to our menu, pick out the perfect linens and prepping us for what's to come on the day of.
On the day of our wedding, let's just say we blew everyone out of the water with having Wooden Paddle as our food choice. They brought a massive pizza oven on site and cooked every pizza live in front of our venue/guests. Talk about leaving a lasting impression huh?
Not only was the setup wonderful, but the service was a 12 out of 10! The servers were prompt, extremely friendly, super genuine and looked to be having an amazing time just being there. I remember many people commenting on how wonderful the service was. Just IMPRESSIVE!!
Now....to the most important part...the FOOD! All I can say is WOW. Just absolutely blown away with how wonderful everything came out. From the apps (the charcuterie table was a game hanger) to the fantastic pizzas coming out flaming hot and just melting in our mouths, it was THE BEST food I've ever had at a wedding...and even more so since it was our wedding. We had an insane amount of compliments on the food that night and still have people reminiscing about the delicious pizzas. It truly was the best decision we made during our wedding planning process.
I would recommend Wooden Paddle to any and everyone looking to make a lasting impression with a catered food...or even just a fun night out for dinner. This team is sharp, incredible and super fun to work with. I always appreciate working with people that feel like friends and I can easily say that Chloe and Miriam are now like friends. THEY ROCKED!!!
Thank you Wooden Paddle for everything. We absolutely cannot wait to come back and enjoy your delicious food on date nights and are already planning on celebrating our 1-year at your restaurant. You are wonderful and we appreciate all that you helped us do on our special day.Wooden Paddle's reply:
Hi Bre! This is the sweetest review and we thank you! It was an honor to be a part of such a special time in your life. Thank you!
