As a bride with celiac, I was hesitant with who to hire to cater our wedding. I wanted to make sure I would be safe to eat. Abraham Catering made the process so stress free, they...
were willing to work around all my questions and requests to make sure the food would be safe. The night of the wedding everything was delicious and beyond my expectations! I was able to eat safely, no reactions and our guests loved the taco bar!
Working with Abraham Catering was such a pleasure from start to finish. Our venue was at one of their in-house venues, The Pella at Blackstone.
We worked closely with Chad, and fr...
om the first moment we met he was truly in our corner and made everything so EASY and fun throughout the entire planning process. Their entire team was truly exceptional! They were so helpful and kind, always looking out for our best interests and never trying to nickel and dime us like some other vendors.
During a time when planning a wedding can be incredibly stressful and expensive, Abraham Catering made the catering experience and venue a breeze. Also, the BEST catering food EVER. I had so many people come up to me at the wedding and after, saying it was the best wedding food they've ever had and kept going back for seconds!
We are so grateful for all that they did to contribute to making our special day absolutely perfect. We highly recommend Abraham Catering to any couple planning their wedding!
Abraham does not miss with their food. We went to a tasting before our wedding and we loved everything it was honestly hard to decide. They are very professional as well.
In all ways, they were great! They listen to the customer, and even when things go wrong, they make it right and are fast, efficient, friendly, and so helpful! We loved our 2 barte...

d staff at our event was phenomenal. Plates were cleared so fast and our guests were impressed. I would hire Chad and Abraham Catering again in a heartbeat! They were nothing short of amazing to work with.
We opted for a pasta bar and could have not made a better decision. Not only was it delicious but it gave our guests different options no matter their food preference.
Working with Abraham's and Chad for our wedding at One Thousand Dodge was very smooth and they are incredibly responsive. We were really happy with all of the food and service.
I was married at the Paxton on 10/25 of this year. Abraham’s catering was our vender- and they are FANTASTIC. The food was absolutely delicious, the set-up was perfect, they’re inc...
redibly professional and very easy to work with, and all-in-all, what could have been the busiest, biggest mess of my life was smooth, flawless, and a lot of fun.
Thank you to everyone at Abraham’s again for a perfect event and an incredibly fun night. If I need a caterer again in the future I will definitely be calling you!
Abraham's Catering was such a pleasure to work with from the very beginning of our conversations, to meal planning, meal tasting, and of course the wedding. They made every step o...
f this process easy and stress-free. The food at our reception was truly a step of above, which I already expected from them given that the tasting was so good. The very best part though, was the unbelievable service that they delivered all night long! Would recommend them to anyone looking to make their wedding night truly memorable.
Absolutely PHENOMENAL food and service! We received so many compliments on the food, as well as those who worked for Abraham's! This bride sure didn't go hungry on her wedding day...

My husband and I used Abraham's Catering for our wedding reception. They were one of two options through our venue. I had been looking into them already anyway. I liked that the...
y have so many different options for catering. We chose the taco bar. I didn't want traditional wedding food. I mostly worked with Chad and he was good to work with. Also had a little contact with Nancy at first and she was very helpful and pleasant. Overall cost on the taco bar was good. The prices for a lot of the other options were definitely out of our budget (part of why we didn't have something else). The food quality was very good. As we had a taco bar, I didn't interact with the wait staff much, but what I saw was professional.
Staff was friendly and the food was yummy. We did run out of food and had less guests than we planned but that is not necessarily the caterers fault. Some people could have taken a...
lot more than anticipated for an individual.
I can't say enough about how wonderful our experience with Abraham Catering has been! From our very first meeting to the follow up after the wedding, Hap, Ann, and their team could...
not have been more professional, punctual, or friendly! We appreciated that on our first meeting, Hap (the owner) met with us to get a sense of what we were looking for. He shared his experiences with us (not only as the owner but as a father who had catered his own daughters' weddings!) and treated us like we were his family when it came to our options and pricing. They were so accommodating in any request we made (they were willing to try a new recipe for a signature drink we loved) and were especially gracious in all communication as we had just had a death in the family. Among all of our vendors, they put us at ease the most - it is clear why they are the contracted caterer for so many premier venues in Omaha. Ann was so helpful in following up with us and making adjustments as needed - even sitting down with us in person to review our numbers and the many options and rentals we had listed. (They work with any rental company, but work most with United - we would recommend this pairing as the two worked seamlessly together!) The day-of staff were so helpful as well, putting my mother at ease about not only the plated dinners, but the cupcake station and nuts and mints that they were also in charge of refilling. Any questions we had were met with compassion and an openness I haven't seen with other vendors of this type - when we were curious about a process, they invited us behind the scenes to take a look. And this came not just from the senior staff - but also the high school servers. Every single person was outstanding, and truly made our event perfect!
They went above and beyond in everything! The food was top notch, the service was exceptional! All good things to say about them!
The food was amazing and the staff was so kind. They really take care of you and go out of their way as well. We had an issue with our cake creator, who was supposed to add our flo...
wers to our cake but didn’t do so. Abraham catering took it upon themselves to place our flowers, without hesitation. They make your stressful day a little easier and I’m so happy we had them.
The best customer service I have ever encountered! Combined with amazing food, there is no better caterer in Omaha. We selected some custom recipes that they did not have on their ...
catering menu, and they worked with us to make sure we had our perfect wedding menu. Kara was always quick to respond to emails, help us problem-solve issues, and accommodating to any of our requests or changes. Abraham Catering made our wedding day perfect, and I can not recommend them enough!

would take care of. We dumped a bunch of decorations at the venue in the morning and they arranged everything beautifully by the time we arrived for the reception. The bar service was great. And again, the food was amazing. Our guests were raving.
Delicious.

s very flexible and they will work with you to get the right combination for your needs. They were also very good about allergies and there were special plates made for our guests that had allergies. The serving staff was so friendly, and not a glass went empty! Oh, and the food was absolutely delicious! Our guests were talking about it for weeks!
Abraham Catering is really great to work with. They'll adapt their menu items to your needs/preferences and they'll give you take-home samples of anything you'd like to try.
We had a terrible experience with Abraham Catering at our wedding. We were planning our wedding long distance from NYC and had to come to Omaha for two food tastings due to the poo...
r quality of the food served. Our concerns about the quality after the first tasting was not taken seriously by the venue and the representative from Abraham. After being guaranteed the food would be as ordered and of higher quality at the reception, we were sorely disappointed on our wedding day. The steaks were overcooked, too tough and served with a sauce that we had not agreed to. Our guests were also not provided steak knives to cut their steaks. Abraham made an effort to rectify the issue after the fact, but that it didn't make up for our guests being hungry on our wedding day.
Abraham Catering catered our wedding at One Thousand Dodge in April. The food was INCREDIBLE! We had guests coming up to us all night telling us it was the best wedding food they'd...
ever had! We went with the double entree buffet, and you really can't go wrong with any of their menu items. Everything was delicious, and the servers and bartenders were all very hard-working and attentive. Abraham is for sure the best catering company in Omaha!
We went with 1316 Jones Street for our venue, and they work exclusively with Abraham's, which we were happy with. They were great to work with: reasonably priced (as part of the pe...
r-person package through 1316), quick to respond to emails, and very professional and accommodating. We really liked the menu tasting presentation; it was one of the more enjoyable aspects of wedding planning. Highly recommended. 10/31/2015.
Worked with Abraham at Joslyn. Coordinator Gabi was organized and easy to work with. Servers were professional and food looked great.
My only qualm is the entree dishes were merel...
y okay. The food was better at the tasting, and the chicken was a little dry at the reception. They may have to cook the food off-site and bring it in, which makes keeping food moist and warm difficult. Still, I wished the food was just a little more inspired.
Hap Abraham was an amazing caterer to work with, the food was absolutely amazing, and they worked with us to tailor all the food, the appetizers, and the drinks to make it exactly ...
what we wanted. They helped to create an amazing atmosphere for our guests. We specifically worked with Elizabeth J. throughout our entire wedding planning process and she was a dream to work with, she really did make it special and fun to plan all of our food and drink menu selections. When it came to the actual event, it was ran very smoothly, and all the guests said the food was amazing, and the price point was very reasonable. We cannot recommend them higher.
I can't even count how many people commented on how amazing all of the food at our wedding was! Throughout the night and the next few days our guests all raved about how delicious...
the food was. Many even mentioned it wasn't like "normal wedding chicken" that you usually see at weddings. The staff was amazingly easy to work with while planning our menu and service was amazing on the night of the wedding. Only bummer was that we didn't get to take the leftovers home with us (which we knew ahead of time, no big deal). Great food, great service!
We lived in DC so managing catering was very difficult for us. However, Abraham's catering gave us the best price for the amount of food and was very easy to work with. They were a...
ctually the best. Our food was amazing. Everyone loved it. I could not have been happier with our choice and I am so glad they helped make my wedding even more special than it was. Thank you so much Diane and Ann.

This caterer was required by my venue, 1316 Jones St., which made the decisions so easy. I didn't have to stress over price matching or tasting or worrying over a contract, since i...
t was all done for me. The food was phenomenal. They give a variety of options for number of items in your buffet or seated dinner, and have quality gourmet food to choose from. All of our guests were pleased with the meal and left feeling full and satisfied.
We loved the food just from the start when we first had our tasting. My husband and I went with his parents and they had full meals for us to try. We were impressed from the start....
We had buffet set up for dinner and it was great. I was hesitant about having a buffet for our wedding but our venue wasn't equipped for sit down dinner of 300. Hap did such an amazing job. Everyone loved the food. The chicken was absolutely delicious! The beef was so tender and wasn't dry. All of the side dishes were great. We were very pleased with the customer service as well as the food. Hap even created a hot chocolate bar for me and it was great!
This was the catering company that came with our venue but I couldn't have asked for better food or service! The price was great and they had several options to choose from!
The food was worth every penny...phenomenal! Excellent customer service and great communication. Nothing but positive comments from our guests...dinner was perfect!
