Three Dudes was our first and only choice for our wedding. All of the staff are incredibly personable, professional, and genuinely kind. The owner Chris, was invested in us not just as clients, but as a couple. He was excited for our challenge: to curate a Puerto Rican-inspired dinner for 100 guests (I, the bride, am Puerto Rican). He was determined to get the flavor profiles right, and even asked me how my grandmother would prepare her recipes. I was so impressed and felt so taken care of.
Amy, the manager, went out of her way to make us feel calm and collected the day-of, offered to have the staff bring us plates instead of waiting in the buffet line (which was so lovely) and made sure we stayed hydrated. She led her staff so well and kept everyone smiling and happy.
The staff also helped us break down tables and clean up the venue at the end of the night. I would highly recommend this company for your wedding dinner, especially if your wedding is based in Michigan!
3 Dudes catered our wedding in August and everything was absolutely incredible. We had 110 guests for plated dinner with passed hors'deurves during cocktail hour. The staff was very prompt and friendly, we heard many remarks about how delicious and fresh/hot the food was and how the service was unlike other weddings guests had attended. One reason we chose 3 Dudes was because they could do much of their cooking on site, making the food taste more like freshly made restaurant quality rather than warmed/reheated entrees. During the planning process, they had great attention to detail, thorough quotes, and quick replies to emails. I never had any worry about misfortune related to catering on our wedding day.
We did not use their rentals but they were very willing to go with whatever plate/linens our venue already had which was helpful.
Exceptional! The entire staff was beyond reproach. We had a very large wedding reception of 475 people and they were all through the buffet line in 20 minutes. The food was delicious, the staff was incredible, professional and friendly. The service was beyond any expectation. There literally are no words to describe how happy we are with 3 Dudes & Dinner. Highly recommend and will not hesitate to use in the future.
To say they were incredible is an understatement. 3 Dudes provided complete catering including dinnerware, lines, glassware etc… They assisted in planning for the entire reception and were professional, kind and amazing. Now the food… this is our fourth wedding and this was the best food served yet, The variety of options available are fantastic, all dietary restrictions were easily accommodated and the portions are substantial. I would recommend this caterer to anyone looking for a fantastic delicious event.

Cori, Chris, and the 3 Dudes team truly go above and beyond -- the food was incredible! And we really appreciate that they drove over an hour to our venue for a site visit ahead of time to make sure everything ran smoothly the day of. We cannot thank them enough for everything they did!
No words to explain how great they were. So thorough with planning. AMAZING food. Over and over again went above and beyond. Cannot recommend enough.b
With the coronavirus, I had to postpone my wedding 3 times which caused me to have to find a new caterer. Honestly, I am so grateful that this happened! 3 Dudes was so incredibly easy to work with :) The food was absolutely delicious, and the workers were so professional and kind. We also utilized their bartending services and they were awesome! I will be forever grateful for 3 Dudes, thank you for making my wedding so wonderful :)
Amazing food, great customer service & awesome to work with! Everything was perfect!
Finding a caterer that matched my budget and also my unique requirements was difficult; 3 Dudes and Dinner even managed to exceed what I looked for. I am originally from Britain, and all my family lives over there, so I wanted to make sure there would be food that they would enjoy. My husband on the other hand, is the American, and he grew up in a family that eat the same three to five, American cuisine meals on repeat. My husband and I love to travel and try new foods, and being able to cook has always been important to me, especially due to health reasons. So with all these differences I was looking for a caterer that gave me the variety I needed in a desperate attempt to try and please everyone as best as I could. Along comes 3 Dudes & Dinner. The choices were fantastic, there's even the choice to customize your own; they will work with you. I just chose from the menu since coordinating with family was so difficult for me during my wedding planning: we got classic beef tips for my husband's side, butternut squash ravioli for the vegetarians/vegans, and a chicken with a mango salsa that gave a nod to our honeymoon to be in Hawaii. We got multiple sides & a couple appetizers, and they even provided tea for my British family. They were fantastic. So professional, timely with everything, easy to talk to... And not only did they provide food, they coordinated with other vendors to get my tables and chairs. They truly work with you on every little detail you want, even making it so I could rent metal utensils, but then order my own palm leaf plates that could be compost. I was so thrilled, and I can't talk them up enough. I wish I hadn't been so busy and got to eat more of the food, but everyone who attended raved about how good it was. You can't go wrong with 3 Dudes & Dinner, they work with you on literally everything, and want you to have your perfect day with such a professional, but casual manner that made the whole experience beyond comfortable. Thank you so much 3 Dudes & Dinner!
3 Dudes were amazing! They were nothing like the other catering services I had contacted for our wedding. From the beginning, they worked with us to create a delicious meal that would fit in our budget. They were very responsive and quickly answered all my little questions day in & day out. They also provided all the dishes, flatware and glasses for our outdoor wedding. On top of that, they provided the most amazing servers and bartenders. The food was to die for (stuffed chicken roulade, salmon piccata, eggplant parm, orzo, grilled veggies, etc) - our guests kept asking who did the catering and marveling at how delicious it was (some even said it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding!). They cooked on-site even though we were at a private lake-side cottage. I cannot say enough good things about this company. They were amazing and I would definitely use them again for an event in the future!
My wife and I wanted to write a balanced review, so we tried to come up with some things that we did not like about the whole experience. We couldn't come up with any. 3 Dudes are incredible. One of the most stressful parts of wedding planning is communicating with the various vendors that are helping to make your day happen. We found 3 Dudes to be exceptional, clear and prompt in all of their correspondence with us and this made us more relaxed as the day got closer. The service was very good. We had some last minute preparations that needed to be completed so my then fiance showed up early to take care of them. When we got there we had nothing to do because 3 Dudes did it all!
The food. The food was amazing. You know food is good when people are making unsolicited comments about how much they enjoyed it. We had pulled pork sliders, salmon and stuffed chicken and a vegetarian entree. We loved it and so did the crowd! The value was exceptional and we were so happy to pay what they were asking. We only wish we could have tipped more because we were so thrilled with the entire experience. Thanks, 3 Dudes and Dinner!
