We were more than happy with Brennan’s Catering! If we could give them the 10 stars we would. They did our wedding and wedding shower. They delivered every detail big and small that we requested and went above and beyond!!! The catering had delicious, hot/ fresh food with generous portion sizes. If you’re looking for a company that is affordable, easy to work with, and all around good people this is it! We can’t thank them enough.

As with any catering service the main concern is the quality of the food and ease of working with the service staff. The lemon chicken and sausage and peppers they served family style was a huge hit. Guests said the chicken melted in your mouth and the sausage and peppers was no different either...both entrees were melt in your mouth worthy.
Our daughter was married Oct 2021 however the wedding was initially to take place in 2020 but due to Covid, it was delayed. Brennans's catering (Jason Brennan) was one of the nicest and most thorough planners that I have had the pleasure of meeting. The wedding was postponed until 2021 due to preceeding Covid19 chaos, but Jason reassured us that the price quote he presented us during our pre-covid contract would remain the same for the 2021 wedding and our new wedding date secured. Jason was a beacon of light in every aspect of the Covid crazy as tensions were running amuck on the other end with other type of non catering issues in the wedding planning process. What a relief that such a huge weight was off of OUR shoulders with catering needs. Jason left no stone unturned and handled it all pleasantly and graciously. The venue we chose was St.Paul Hellenic Center in N.Royalton on Wallings Rd which Brennan's Catering manages for events. St.Paul Hellenic Center was EVERYTHING we needed and beyond. The hall was GORGEOUS...the bathrooms state of the art and the bar area was large and roomy. We had plenty of space to maneuver around on the huge dance floor. The main foyer you enter was just amazing too. When you first walk in you will be impressed by the beautiful carpeting, mirrors on the ceiling and chandelier. Also, the HUGE beautiful sheer-white-linen canopy that hangs from the ceiling above the dance floor is something you just have to see. I can't forget to say that the facility is totally handicap accessable inside and out. They even had a wheel chair and a walker that was on-hand if needed in thier COAT ROOM. yes, you heard me....COAT ROOM. Lastly, the hall also accommodated the wedding CEREMONY that took place since we did not have traditional church nuptials. They set up over 200 chairs chapel style on the dance floor and after the ceremony, they expediently removed them while guests indulged in Brennan's Catering h'ordeurvs. The guests said that the h'ordeurvs were beautifully presented and absolutely delicious beyond words. From beginning to end....Brennan's Catering was there for us. Whether it was the food, the organization of the entire process or the AMAZING staff that takes great pride in their work and hustle to make it all happen too ( PATTY YOU ROCK!!!!) we DEFINITLEY recommend THIS TOTAL PACKAGE of Brennan's Catering. St.Paul Hellenic Center for the venue and their AMAZING STAFF that make your event talked about weeks later as the "best wedding hands-down."

Brennan's Catering is the absolute best catering you can choose for your special day! Jason who runs it is the nicest, most genuine, caring person you will ever meet. He is so detail oriented and organized and will make sure you have everything you want and need on the day of and that everything goes smoothly and looks perfect. They have a venue at Saint Paul Hellenic that is beautiful. He truly was a major part of the reason our day was so successful and memorable. My brother and sister-in-law used him for their wedding and we knew we would want to as well for ours. We would recommend him to anyone we know and you would not regret using them! :)

We just had our reception with Brennan's Catering at St. Paul Hellenic Banquet Center and we are still on cloud 9. The reception venue was beautiful, the food was absolutely amazing, and Jason and his staff were absolutely wonderful to work with!! To say that Jason went above and beyond for our wedding reception would be an understatement. There isn't a word that could describe the lengths that Jason went to ensure our reception was perfect. He had great suggestions to keep the flow of the night that worked out perfectly and the food was just outstanding. We had some last minute changes that were no problem for Jason!! Jason was truly wonderful to work with, the food was incredible, the venue was gorgeous, the flow of the night was perfect and I don't know what else could be asked for. We would recommend Brennan's Catering at St. Paul Hellenic Banquet Center to everyone and cannot speak highly enough of their venue, efforts, and food!

Brennan's went above and beyond to make sure our wedding reception was everything I wanted! Rachel helped me every step of the way and was so kind and helpful.

I highly recommend this venue for any couple that's looking for an amazing reception venue at affordable pricing with great service! You won't be disappointed!! Thank you again Brennan's!!

The price was the initial factor in this decision, but then we got recommendations from several close friends and family that had the catering from Brennan's in the past. These people are definitely opinionated when it comes to food, so when they said the food was good I believed them, and we were not let down! We opted for the dinner buffet and top shelf bar. Salads were served to each table and then the staff did an excellent job at making sure each table went and got food without a long line at any time and no chaos! There was a little confusion over whether the champagne toast was included in the package and the owner made sure to remedy that very quickly so we could move on from that section of the night. The food was delicious, and that isn't an overstatement! We had roast beef, pork loin, and rigatoni with marinara sauce (had a handful of vegetarians in our group), with mashed redskin potatoes and green beans almondine for sides. We were served at our table by the staff and then everyone was able to go to the buffet. Everyone was great from calling with questions about the venue, to booking, and set-up and tear down after the event. I would highly recommend this venue for overall great customer service and what you get for your $$$.

We got married on September 12, 2015. Our reception was at Brennan's. We couldn't have asked for better service, and people raved about the food. Wendy was our coordinator and she was simply amazing. Any question I had, she answered quickly. She always made herself available and made us feel like we were the only clients she had. You won't be sorry if you book Brennan's!

Dina and Jason were so helpful throughout our whole process!! We had a wedding of 300 people and felt so comfortable, and there was plenty of room on the dance floor even though it was packed all night! The venue looked great and they were so willing to accommodate any requests. The staff the night of the wedding were so friendly and helpful too! I would definitely recommend Brennan's!

We worked with Dina from our first consultation appointment through the day of. She was amazing to work with, timely with communication and always available for questions. When she was out of the office, her co-worker, Dennis, would answer our question or let us know that she would be out. On the weekend of the event, Dina was super helpful in getting anything we needed to set-up everything; Dennis was present throughout the night; and we were able to pick up decor on Monday so we didn't need to worry about it the night of. Both the catering staff and bartenders were also very polite and efficient throughout the reception. I highly recommend Brennan's for wedding events!

The team at Brenna's was wonderful, from the moment we first met with them to plan our wedding to the day of. My only tip, make sure you ask for them to make you some take home boxes so you have food to each when you get home.

We had our wedding reception at Brennan's about a month ago and we were so happy with them. From start to finish, they were extremely helpful and made all of our decisions so easy and unstressful! The hall looked beautiful, the food was amazing, and we could not have asked for better service. We were also really happy to be able to bring in our own liquor, beer, wine, etc. I highly recommend Brennan's to brides looking for an affordable yet great reception hall in Cleveland!

Our wedding reception was WONDERFUL and Brennan's is to thank! From the very beginning they were warm, inviting and helpful! Throughout the process they WANTED to assist us in anything, but didn't over-step. Their food is DELICIOUS! The hall is beautiful (and has a good set-up!) and the price is JUST RIGHT (Especially for Cleveland!)
We recommend Brennan's with high, HIGH PRAISE!!!!

Growing up on the west side of Cleveland, I've been to Brennan's many times for various function and was the first place I went to when looking for a reception venue. I wanted a "one-stop-shop" for my reception venue, a place that did it all, and Brennan's was it. I didn't have to worry about hiring extra caterers or rent tables or linens or worrying about bringing my own beer/liquor - Brennan's handled everything. Sarah was wonderful and helped me a ton, walking me through everything and dealing with my many emails and phone calls very professionally.
The day before Brennan's allowed us to drop our centerpieces and various decorations off and everything was perfect when my husband and I came in the next day. The food was great, the bar was well-stocked and never ran out and everyone was wonderful and helpful during the entire night. I couldn't have asked for a better night!

I ordered 2 of the large cheese & cracker trays for cocktail hour. They were great and all the guests loved the cheese variety. Just could have had more crackers.
