Austin catering was a godsend for our wedding! K.D. was our point of contact and she truly made me feel like she cared about making our wedding special. She was so experienced, flexible, and responsive throughout the whole process and helped us create a perfect menu of our favorite foods. Not only that, but the food was SO good. I wish they had a restaurant I could visit to eat this food again! I had several guests months after the wedding still mentioning to me how much they enjoyed the food. We even used Austin catering for our drinks and cake after realizing how great K.D. was to work with. I highly recommend using this company for your wedding!! (Pictured is our private dinner they set up for us during cocktail hour)

We are so happy we chose Austin Catering for our wedding. They had the friendliest and most personable tasting to start the process. From there, they were flexible in providing a whole range of items to choose from for the main meal and snacks, including making a few edits for our preferences. On the wedding day, everything went smoothly and the food was just as good as we remembered it from the tasting session. Multiple guests commented that it was the best wedding food they'd had.
We would absolutely choose to go with Austin Catering for our next event.

Austin Catering was wonderful to work with. We went on several tastings around the Austin area and Austin Catering was by FAR our favorite! Their food was delicious as well as unique, which is challenging when cooking for such large parties. We have received countless compliments post-wedding about how great our food was! Our point-person was Flavia, who was a fantastic communicator. She was prompt with her responses and always happy to make as many tweaks to the menu as we needed. Austin catering took care of everything- not only the food, but also the bartending, rentals, linens, clean up and even the cake cutting! Their staff was professional and a well-oiled machine. They seem to have a consistent staff that all know each other and have worked there long-term (rather than the higher-turn-over companies). They have a great reputation all around Austin (with other caterers and event planners) and they definitely lived up to their name.

Austin Catering was wonderful to work with from start to finish! Communication was smooth and easy throughout the planning process, and on the big day, they truly delivered. The food was outstanding, and many guests came up to compliment us on how delicious everything was. The staff at the event were lovely as well—not only did they coordinate the meal seamlessly, but they also checked in with us throughout the night to make sure we got to try all of the appetizers and to see if we needed anything. We couldn't have been happier with the experience and highly recommend Austin Catering!

Not your typical "wedding food"! WOW our menu from Austin Catering was insanely good! From the first bite of food we had at our in person tasting we knew they were it! Austin catering isn't your typical "pick from two options" kind of place. Our menu was catered to our liking- we had a southwest twist on classics. We went with passed appetizers and a plated meal, and it was beautiful and delicious! Our guests had nothing but outstanding things to say about their food! We also used their bartending services, and everything was seamless! They even helped us create our signature cocktails! If you are getting married in the Austin area, and you want food that tastes like a high end restaurant and not hotel/catered food- I would go with Austin Catering!

Austin Catering went above and beyond making our wedding day spectacular.. especially jumping in less than two weeks before our projected date due to our previous vendor not being able to cater last minute. We were super impressed by their kindness, efficiency, willingness to recreate our previous menu, and effort to help us despite the disaster that was happening. All of our guests raved about the delicious food! It was amazing. I wish we could relive that day over and over again.. look no further- they will not disappoint! :)

My husband and I highly recommend Austin Catering for your next event. We used them for our wedding and were thoroughly impressed with their flexibility/customer service, culinary execution, and competitive pricing. This was the first event we’ve ever catered but KD and her team made the process easy. As an LGBT couple, we felt complete support from the team.
We were surprised by the affordability compared to several other major caterers in Austin. We had explored a few other caterers that offered a fixed selection of menu items, and Austin Catering had a large menu of favorites. But in addition to the items they make regularly, they will literally cook anything you want. We gave them a few of our favorite recipes which they were able to cook and serve at our wedding which helped make the event very personal. They were also very easy to work with in terms of accommodating guests with dietary restrictions and preferences. The execution on the day of our event was smooth. The team was professional and everyone raved about the food.
Overall, we would absolutely recommend Austin Catering and they will be our first choice next time we need to cater an event. Thanks to KD and the entire team for their wonderful contribution to our special day.

I’m We tried some of Austin Catering's food at an event at Villa Antonia and knew we needed to set up a tasting with them because they were that good. Not just the food but the people that work here are fabulous. After we'd had 2 tastings with other companies we came here and were blown away by the quality of the food. We had beef tenderloin, stuffed chicken, garlic mashed potatoes, and brussel sprouts for our wedding dinner and we also had a churro table with ice cream as a late night snack. Everyone loved the food and they made sure any food allergies were taken very seriously. They had the head chef come out and talk to my brother who has a dairy allergy to make sure he felt taken care of & that his meal was what he wanted. We also had some service team members with us checking in on us the whole reception to make sure we were never without a drink in our hand and bringing us desserts and whatever we'd like. Again, service was impeccable. They also handled our bar & rentals and did the drink recipes exactly how I wanted- taste and presentation. 10/10 experience.

We had an absolutely phenomenal experience with Austin Catering for our wedding. From the start, Austin Catering worked closely with us to create a customized menu that surpassed our expectations. The flavors, presentation, and creativity were simply outstanding.
On the wedding day, their team executed flawlessly. The service was impeccable, and the entire dining experience was seamless and enjoyable. Austin Catering's professionalism and responsiveness were perfect. They exceeded our expectations from the start. We had stations for our dinner, and each station was delicious.
We wholeheartedly recommend Austin Catering for couples seeking culinary excellence and an unforgettable wedding experience. Thank you, Austin Catering, for making our wedding day a culinary treat!

I used Austin's Catering for my wedding a few weeks ago, and our guests RAVED about how delicious the food was! They don't use your traditional chafing dishes that make the food sweat; Austin's goes out of their way to set up a buffet that looks stunning (pretty baskets, napkins, etc.) and tastes phenomenal throughout the evening. We had 160 guests and with 2 buffet tables, they were able to get everyone their food within 25 minutes. We also had a few guests not show up, and Austin's allowed some of our extra hungry guests to get seconds since we had the extra food. The servers were very kind and even passed out champagne to everyone before our toasts. My husband and I were at a sweetheart table and had a server come to us a few different times to make sure we had everything we needed and didn't have to move to get anything. At the end of the night, they sent us (the bride and groom) home with a big bag of leftovers to eat in our hotel room since they know it's rare to have time to eat! I highly recommend Austin's Catering for anyone looking for an outstanding wedding caterer.

Austin Catering catered our wedding welcome party at the Austin Central Library and did a fantastic job - we worked with Giselle throughout the process, who was extremely helpful and responsive.
Austin Catering staff at the event were professional, kind, and knowledgeable. We were so grateful that Austin Catering was able to offer entirely gluten-free appetizers and desserts at our event, including a gluten free churro bar, which was a huge hit.

Food is such an important part of a wedding and Austin Catering was 100% the way to go! It was absolute perfection! The K.D. and team worked with us through multiple tastings to craft a delicious menu that was inclusive of all dietary restrictions. All the food left our guests raving. From the mouthwatering appetizers to our main courses, every bite was a culinary delight. The presentation was exquisite, and the quality of the ingredients was evident in every dish. They were so collaborative with our rental company to help reduce delivery costs, rent items needed for donuts, and provide expert knowledge and suggestions.
Not to mention the impeccable service provided by the waitstaff – attentive, friendly, and always with a smile. Our guests were treated like royalty from the moment they arrived until the last goodbye. We were so happy with our experience!!

I cannot say enough good things about Austin Catering. I was lucky enough to have them be part of my amazing vendor team for my wedding at the end of January 2024. The food was amazing, we got so many compliments on how great the appetizers and meals were. And the service was top knot, every single person who represented Austin Catering that night (event managers, bartenders, culinary attendants, servers) was so nice and incredibly professional. Highly recommend doing a tasting to ensure you try what you would like to have at your event. Giselle was absolutely incredible and I was so grateful for her help during this process. Her and the rest of the Austin Catering team went above and beyond at my wedding.

We used Austin Catering for our wedding and all I can say is “wow”. When you throw a big event you typically have lower expectations on food quality, since everything is made in such large quantities, but that is not the case here. Austin Catering shattered our expectations for any meal, let alone a meal at a large event. Everything was perfect. The amount of compliments we received (and continue to receive) on the food is a testament to how great everything was. Do yourself a favor and work with this team!

Our experience with the Austin Catering was exceptional! The herb & garlic crusted beef medallions and braised breast of chicken were absolute showstoppers, beautifully complemented by cannelini beans, oven-dried tomatoes, fresh spinach, & roasted garlic. The dinner buffet was a culinary delight, leaving everyone raving about the flavors and presentation. Not only did they exceed our expectations with the menu, but they also seamlessly supplied a fantastic bartender, making the entire dining experience a highlight of our special day. Our guests couldn't stop talking about the delicious food and impeccable service, making our wedding reception truly memorable

K.D. and the Austin Catering team are incredible. Not only is the food absolutely delicious but their attention to detail & customer service level throughout the whole planning process blew us away. K.D. and her team went above and beyond to make sure that our wedding's catering was exactly what we dreamed of. From adapting the menu so that we could serve California tri-tip to gracefully helping us deal with some last minute curve balls from our venue which they had nothing to do with, the Asutin Catering team delivered everything we expected and more. We got SO many compliments on our food and we couldn't be happier with how everything came out. 12/10 would recommend that you book AC for your event!

Our wedding planner recommend Austin catering to us and it was a preferred caterer for our venue, and we could not have ben happier. We chose to go with a buffet instead of a plated dinner, and the buffet was a cut above the rest. It actually looked elegant and wasn’t just a bunch of sliver trays on a table. The food was exceptional. All the guest were raving about everything especially the bacon wrapped shrimp during cocktail hour and the the butter that came with rolls. Also, Austin did a great job accommodating the entire menu to be gluten free (including dessert - brownies and strawberry cheese cake. We worked wit KD and she did an amazing job answering all of our questions, and helping us save money where we could. We strongly recommend using Austin Catering for your wedding. We will definitely consider Austin catering for future events.

We first met Austin Catering at a venue's open house. We met Mervan, who struck us as really genuine, extremely helpful, and very professional. Throughout the process, Austin Catering helped us stay within budget without compromising on guest experience. The tasting was incredible and gave us reassurance on what was to come-- and let me tell you that there were no inconsistencies between the tasting and the catered food. We received countless compliments during and after the wedding about how amazing the food was. If you are looking to not break the bank while having a luxury, top-notch service I would look no further than Austin Catering.

Austin Catering showed up! We were so impressed with the quality and presentation at our May 2023 wedding. The food was a popular topic throughout the evening and afterwards, as guests commented on the selection, timing, and preparation of the meal. We opted for passed appetizers, a plated Greek salad so that guests could go ahead and mingle and begin when it was time for dinner, and a choice of entrees for our buffet line. Everything was beautiful and delicious. Additionally, we went with the bar package since we are not from the Austin area AND added a cake when our cake vendor wasn't responsive; it was excellent. Every single staff member was friendly and courteous, sought out our guests with special diets to ensure correct selections were provided, and made us feel welcome and celebrated. We were super pleased.

I was a guest at a wedding catered by Austin Catering and I have to say that not only was the food delicious, but they are absolutely amazing people. Right before the ceremony, my dress ripped open on the side (the most embarrassing thing that could happen at a wedding) and I went to a back corner with my husband to try to fix the monstrosity. The kind woman at Austin Catering came over to help me and even went and got me safety pins. Because of them I was able to attend the wedding and I seriously can not thank them enough. Thank you for your kindness and for your wonderful catering this past Saturday!

Brides, if you are looking for the perfect caterer for your wedding, look no further. I have nothing but fantastic things to say about Austin Catering!! Where to even begin? We felt completely reassured throughout the wedding planning process AND on our wedding day. K.D guided us through a thorough tasting and helped us customize our ideal menu for the day. On the day of the wedding, everything was set up perfectly and the food came out on time, at the perfect temperature and, most importantly, it was *delicious*. We heard from so many guests that they loved the food and K.D made sure that we (Bride & Groom) were pampered and taken care of. We always had someone checking in with us, bringing us drinks, making sure we had everything we needed. We also have to give a shout-out to the servers and staff - everyone was so kind and courteous. The cherry on top of the cake was that they prepared a to-go bag for us and made sure it was in the getaway car at the right time. We arrived at our hotel and got to enjoy the full meal once more, something we highly recommend! All in all, Austin Catering was a 10/10 for us. They were professional, attentive and made us feel heard. We never felt pressured, quite the opposite - the whole process with them was an absolute joy!!

- We used Austin Catering for our wedding back in October and we were so pleased with how all the setup food came out! They provided a lot for our wedding: staff to serve food as well as setup the ceremony and reception spaces, all the linens and plate settings that we used, as well as delicious food! Everything was immaculate. We got their crostini bar as well as some passed polenta bites for our cocktail hour. We got the roast beef, mushroom gnocchi, roasted vegetables and mixed salad for our main course. Everything was fantastic, especially the mushroom gnocchi (I have had multiple people bring it up to me after the fact). We had some alterations to dishes to cater to our specific guests and desires, and the team at Austin Catering handled it all with ease. If you’re looking for a full service caterer, you can’t go wrong with Austin Catering.

We used Austin Catering for our wedding and I am SO happy that we did! First off, KD was so accommodating to the (several) changes in our menu as well as dietary restrictions of our guests. We are so appreciative of her and her flexibility as we planned out our hors d'oeuvres, dinner, and late night snack for our big day! The food was delicious and the catering team was so attentive not only to our guests but us as well which we really appreciated. The timing of food service was quick and our guests only had amazing things to say. We also loved that staff came to find us with drinks and hors d'oeuvres after the ceremony, while we were taking photos, to ensure that we got to enjoy these as well. It was such a pleasure working with KD and her awesome team!

Austin Catering did an amazing job catering our wedding! As the bride, I didn't have much of an appetite which I was very upset about because the food was AMAZING!! (Good thing I was able to enjoy it at our tasting.) Since the wedding, I've had a few guests ask me about the recipes / what exactly was served so they can attempt to recreate it. Guests don't often comment on how good your wedding food was, but in case, they did! Catering was the thing that we made the most changes and additions to throughout the process, and they were so easy to work with along the way. Hire Austin Catering - you won't be disappointed!

Our wedding was this past weekend at Springdale Station, and Austin Catering is their preferred catering company and I am nothing less than impressed with all of the food we had. The menu was the most important thing to me, as I am very food motivated, and we got so many compliments on our menu. KD was extremely easy to work with, responded to all of my questions super fast, and she was so accommodating when it came to adding different meal options to fit dietary needs of our guests. Day of staff also went above and beyond for us and our guests, the servers made sure my husband and I always had a drink or water in our hand, and they ensured we had lots of time to sit and enjoy our food. We could not be happier with Austin Catering!!

We had a wonderful experience with Austin Catering. Our wedding was at Umlauf and Austin Catering is a preferred vendor. I have to say I was really, really impressed with how good the food was at our wedding. It was probably my favorite food of any wedding I’ve been to (okay maybe I’m biased, but we got a couple compliments to that effect.) Day-of food was even better than I remembered it when we visited for a tasting. Kristin was great and easy to work with, responded to our questions quickly. We had some anxiety about the peculiarities of our venue but Austin Catering really made everything run incredibly smooth. Day-of staff was top notch in every respect (particularly Mervin, who was above and beyond.) The bartender helped our friend re-tie her high heels. Absolutely exceeded expectations, we couldn’t have been happier.

Oh my goodness - the guests are all still talking about the food! I don't even know how to do Austin Catering justice with this review. I come from a very picky, food obsessed, Italian/New Yorker family and married a man whose family is also Italian, full of incredible cooks, and owns several restaurants themselves. The menu is completely created just for you. The hardest part of this was that our imagination and tastebuds couldn't even dream up what Austin Catering made for us. We went for our tasting (which, by the way, is at an adorable location) and left adding about 15 more food options and desserts to the original already larger than appropriate menu. Really, everything was delicious, presentation was beautiful, and they did just an overall fantastic job. We couldn't be happier with our choice! Thank you!

Austin Catering was the best. We used them through the all-inclusive package at our venue as a preferred vendor, and we’re so glad we did. The tasting was really fun and delicious, and our food the day of the wedding turned out just how we remembered it. The staff were INCREDIBLE. They were so present all night, bringing us food and drinks. I hear most couples don’t even eat their food on their wedding day but we were stuffed. Drinks were great too! The staff also packed up ton of extra food to have the next day. We couldn’t be happier with the food, staff, and communication throughout the process. Highly recommend.

My favorite thing about Austin Catering was their customizability and flexibility. They truly help you throw YOUR dream wedding, and don't limit your options.
The food was absolutely amazing! They received high praise from all of our guests for providing the best catered food they had ate at an event.
Thanks again to K.D. and the whole team for helping us throw an amazing event.

We originally worked with Lisa Thompson and, after postponing our wedding due to COVID-19, worked with K.D. Tucker. Both were true joys to work with! Lisa helped arrange our original menu and tasting prior to booking, and she made this process SO easy, which was especially impressive because we could not be on-site (destination wedding) and we had a lot of different guest preferences and dietary restrictions to consider. Instead of a generic menu with options to choose from, we told Lisa what we needed to consider, and she crafted us the perfect menu – and was also so gracious when we kept adding and taking away items in trying to balance food and budget. The transition for postponing the wedding and to working with K.D. was seamless, and K.D. was so ready and professional with reminding us of deadlines, answering all of our questions (some even a bit miscellaneous) leading up to the day-of, and dealing with last-minute issues without us even having to think about them. Throughout the whole process, both Lisa and K.D. were incredibly responsive and attentive to our needs and wants. We had tastings at several catering companies and decided that Austin Catering really came through in quality, taste, appearance, and price for wedding food. During our reception, Austin Catering staff would continually made sure we always had the food and drink we wanted in hand and even set aside portions of appetizers for us at dinner in case we missed them! Even a couple weeks after our wedding, our guests were still raving that the food was some of the best wedding food they’ve had! You cannot go wrong with hiring Austin Catering for your wedding!

We knew we wanted to eat off of china to supplement our formal and classy occasion, and we also wanted to eat really good food (we are foodies at heart) and have it displayed in a modern way. KD was always so quick to respond, professional, and genuinely kind. She made sure everything that involves a full service catering service ran smoothly. We were really impressed with how they not only set up and take down, but also went the extra mile to help our elderly or disabled guests get their food. Any leftover food that we had went to loaves and fishes, so that nothing was wasted. Austin catering also packed us a full meal to-go so that when we got in our getaway car - we had a fresh hot meal packed away to eat when we got to the hotel. We ended up eating it for dinner the next day and it was still amazing! We have received numerous compliments about our day having the best food they've ever had at a wedding.
Our reception was beautiful and Austin catering partners with Premiere Events to bring all of your rentals in one truck - Making Austin catering an easy one-stop for all of your catering and rental needs. We will never be able to thank KD and the Austin catering team for making our day so perfect, unique, and most of all - memorable.

Food was one of the things I was most excited about for my brunch wedding. I worked with Susan, and she is AWESOME! Not only was the food incredibly delicious, she was always patient, flexible, and happy to work with all the micro changes with the menu. I appreciate that she was enthusiastic about working with my budget and helping develop a menu that was perfect for my wedding day. Highly recommend!

Austin Catering was truly a dream to work with. K.D Tucker was amazing, work with me on my budget, was so quick to respond to emails and answered all my questions thoroughly. The food was absolutely delicious and we received SO many compliments. It's always a little nerve racking with buffets but it was just as amazing as our tasting. We did the Coffee Crusted Beef Medallions and Pecan Chicken...UNREAL. They picked up and ordered all our rentals. They made the tables look beautiful. I cannot recommend them enough. I can't wait to use them in future for smaller events.

I didn’t see much on wedding day side, but the food was incredible, staff was kind, and KD was in constant communication with us when we needed her leading up to the wedding. We’re very accommodating for some of our guests with dietary restrictions, and the kids meals were a big hit. My husband said it was “the best wedding food” he had ever had. 10/10 would use them again!

Austin Catering is awesome! I highly recommend this team. We hired them as our food caterer for our wedding, and everyone loved their dishes. My wife and I received SEVERAL compliments on the food, while some even asked how to make it. Prior to the wedding, you are given several food options to choose from. They even catered to my vegan friends. The food tasting was an enjoyable little experience and K.D., our main point of contact, was very nice, professional, and courteous. During the day of the wedding, the crew was well-mannered and helpful. They made sure the bride and groom got all the food and drink they wanted. I did not hear a single complaint from the guest about this company's crew. If you want your food and wedding done right, choose this team. Seriously, they're great.

BEST CATERING COMPANY IN ATX HANDS DOWN! I loved working with Austin Catering. I got to work with K.D. during the planning of my wedding and Mervin during the wedding. K.D. invited my husband and I to go for a tasting. That was such a memorable moment for us. We thought that if they treated us so well during our tasting we would be in good hands for our wedding. We were right. K.D. and I exchanged countless emails trying to make sure everything was set for the big day. I didn't have a planner and she definitely assisted me with questions and ideas that I hadn't even thought of. She even took the time out of her day to meet me at my venue to go over everything and envision it together. During the wedding, Mervin was our Cater and he was AMAZING as well. When we got to the reception after the ceremony, my husband and I got greeted by him with champagne glasses and appetizers ready for us to quickly eat before the photographs with the photographer. He was on top of it! He went as far as to find a vase for my flowers so that they wouldn't wilt. I was so impressed with all of the Austin Catering Staff, they all worked so hard to make it come together so beautifully. Besides the amazing service, the food was incredibly delicious. I did get to eat a plate!!! That's so rare from what I've heard, but Mervin made it happen. I also had a signature glass of my fav jalapeño margaritas ("The Lola") in my hand all night long. Everyone raved about the food and the drinks. I was so happy that I went with Austin Catering. I hope that you read this and trust me when I say, you need to book them.

Austin Catering was great! The food was delicious and they were also able to provide bartenders! They referred us to a guy at specs to help us save money on the alcohol and to work with Premiere Events for rentals! K.D. was very helpful throughout the whole process! I’m not much of a dessert person so I planned to get a cake through them, but forgot to lock it in. They got a cake during the wedding to serve which was amazing! Loved working with them!

Austin Catering is a "Yes" vendor. If you have an idea for your venue set up or a type of food you want for dinner or late night snacks, chances are they will say yes and make it happen for you.
Austin Catering catered my wedding at a logistically challenging venue, and could not have done a better job. They were able to quickly and beautifully flip the venue from the ceremony to the dinners space without a hitch.
The food was absolutely incredible and we received tons of compliments from our guests! Our guests even asked us for Austin Catering's phone number so they could get the recipes.
KD and the Austin Catering team were incredible to work with and my wedding would not have been the same without them!!

K.D. and Austin Catering are AMAZING. On top of the fact that their food is delicious and so beautifully plated, they are so easy to work with and very communicative. K.D. was with us every step of the way and went above and beyond to help answer all of my questions and make sure our day was perfect. All night guests were raving about the quality and taste of the food. They served our custom cocktails perfectly and their customer service was unsurpassed. They made sure Joshua and I were taken care of all night. They even packed up a doggy bag for all our vendors and helped packed the leftover cake up.

Austin Catering is seriously one of the best in the industry. I work for a venue in Austin, TX (Springdale Station), and they are our number one most recommended catering company. Their food is AMAZING - such a large variety of food options. But, most importantly - their service is outstanding. A lot of times couples/clients don't know the importance of hiring companies with good service because it's usually their first time doing it - good service is important because it sets the tone throughout the event. Things like not slamming the door during toasts, or always being professional around guests. I cannot speak highly enough about Austin Catering. They actually catered my wedding last year - which I think says a lot considering how many companies I work with. A perfect example of their amazing service: originally we had mac and cheese on the menu because it's my favorite food, but we ended up swapping it out because it didn't go with the rest of the meal. KD (the event manager) knew it was my favorite food, so she made sure they added it to my plate even though it was no longer on the menu. Don't hesitate, reach out and do a tasting. Their food + service speaks for itself. Thank you Austin Catering team - Kristin, KD, and all of the amazing servers/chefs/bartenders - you've made working in this industry such a great experience.

Austin Catering is the absolute best company to go with on your special day! The food not only looked great, but tasted fantastic. It's been a couple of weeks since my wedding, and people are STILL complimenting the food! K.D. and Lisa were great communicators and extremely flexible. They designed a mediterranean style menu and even made it all Kosher and Gluten-free. I am a perfectionist and very picky, they made sure to answer all of my MANY emails quickly and with perfect solutions. I have absolutely no regrets that I chose Austin Catering! Honestly, I will probably hire them again for future events.

Austin Catering provided the best customer service I have experienced in wedding planning. The quality of the food was beyond excellent. And the value ... unsurpassed. Hosting a wedding during Covid is not an easy task but Austin Catering has this problem well under control. All servers were appropriately masked and took precautions from set up through clean up. Every server was polite and friendly ... and seemed very happy to be there! K. D. took great care of us from the initial planning through the wedding day. I highly recommend you consider Austin Catering for your event.

Austin Catering was a hit at our wedding! Everyone loved the food and wanted to take to go boxes home! They were wonderful to work with the entire planning process and made us feel very safe with their Covid precautions. We got to completely customize our menu and they helped us tweak the specifics of one of the appetizers to make it just right. They also were quick to offer vegan and allergy friendly options for some of our guests. I would use them again for any event in the future!

We absolutely loved working with Austin Catering in planning our wedding (especially in the midst of Covid!). Susan was patient and helpful in answering my many questions, and guiding us through the process. The food was absolutely DELICIOUS on our day, and the team onsite was great. I can't recommend using them enough!

We were in desperate need of a wedding coordinator. Kristen stepped in to help us out. We had several challenges: bride's family from out-of-state, covid requirements, remote wedding location, food truck (so no catering staff), unexpected weather, and trash removal issues. Kristen worked like Cinderella all afternoon and evening making sure things ran smoothly, covering the gaps, and solving problems. We will never know everything she did for us. Our guests had a good time and the bride and groom had the day they wanted. 100% recommend.

Kristin and her team at Austin Catering did an amazing job. Through the tasting to postponing to the actual event, Austin Catering made for an easy process. The food was amazing and guests’ plates were loaded up! Also the Mac and cheese balls were everyone’s favorite. If you’re looking for a fancy, affordable catering company give them a call!

We used Austin Catering for our bridal shower and wedding reception and both times the food and service was incredible! They were able to make many dishes dairy and gluten free while still tasting amazing, which was a huge plus! We worked with Lisa throughout the process and she was fabulous! They accommodated every request we had even when we had to reschedule everything due to COVID. Would recommend them to anyone who is wanting good food and great service.

Lisa and the staff at Austin Catering went above and beyond to make our wedding beautiful. From the first time we met Lisa, everything was exactly we hoped for and then some. Clear communication in the months leading up to the wedding, the ability to meet with us on our schedule as we visited Austin, and plenty of options to choose from all made things perfect for Monica and I, who did most of the wedding DIY. During the wedding, Lisa and her staff took charge and got things set up quickly. Once our guests arrived, they were always taken care of with food and drink. We had lots of guests raving about how good the food was, especially for a buffet, and Monica and I got to try a little of everything, which was perfect in our whirlwind day. Austin Catering helped us put last-minute touches on our cake and left the venue (Mercury Hall) in better shape than we had found it. The staff was super helpful, and we were so thrilled to see Lisa take charge of everything once she arrived and help the food and beverage service run so smoothly. We had such a beautiful wedding and Austin Catering was a huge part of that — the perfect start to our life together :-)
