Catering by Scott

her which he didn't have to do. He was very easy to get ahold of from day one through the day of the wedding. We built the perfect brunch menu with just a couple of my ideas combined with his suggestions and expertise. Lastly - the food itself was absolutely delicious, especially the brisket, everyone raves about it. I am confident my wedding would have gone much less smoothly without Scott and his team. If you are considering booking him, I do not see how you could be disappointed!

good. The second was a sit down dinner and everyone reported their food was cold - even the wedding party :( Would recommend looking into someone else and not being schmoozed by Scott.

ese was fantastic. The servers were awesome as well! They helped us make our ideas into realities. Would highly recommend for your special day or other event!

presented beautifully. His team was kind & courteous, and did everything they could to make our day special. They even washed off all of our chargers and packaged them back up in the boxes so that our family didn’t have to do it at the end of the night. We highly recommend Scott! PS - try the grilled cheese & tomato soup shots… they are INCREDIBLE!!!

many compliments on the food. Even though there were not a ton of leftovers at the end of the night (because many went back for seconds), they packaged up some for the bride and groom, which was very nice. Thank you to Catering by Scott for helping to make it a wonderful night.

ly. The food was great and we really enjoyed working with him. We would 100% recommend him for your event!

out! I would highly recommend them to anyone for their event or wedding!

it. We were able to taste test a few of the menu items to make sure everything was how we wanted it which was very helpful! All of the food was amazing. Scott goes above and beyond to make sure everything looks perfect-from cocktail hour displays, the buffet, and the dessert displays! We truly loved it all and received many compliments on the food! Scott is so fun and easy to work with and his wife and daughter are so sweet and a pleasure to be around! I highly recommend catering by Scott for your next event, you won’t be disappointed!

zers to dessert was outstanding. Additionally, Scott is the most caring, charismatic, and enthusiastic guy. From the minute we scheduled our tasting to the day of our wedding he was readily available, listened to our specific requests, and truly made us feel like family. Scott went above and beyond at every turn. We highly recommend him for your big day!

ndly and the food was fantastic! Overall very very happy with everything.

hat you'd like to eat on your wedding day, I recommend looking elsewhere. The groom is vegetarian and wanted something he would enjoy for a dinner entree. We had four other vegetarian guests and one vegan guest. We were told that all six people would have to get the vegan entree, even though five of them (the groom included!) would have preferred a risotto with cheese and cream in it. Dietary restrictions aside, Scott was extremely condescending anytime the groom voiced an opinion, saying "I just want to make things nice for [bride]," even when I backed up my fiance's opinion. Then he would say, "whatever you want, we can do that," but then would turn around and send us a proposal with the way he preferred to do things instead. As just one example, he fought us over berries versus apples and goat cheese versus blue cheese in the salad! Why?? He also made us wait until very late in the process (about three weeks before the wedding) to finalize the menu, when I just wanted to get things crossed off our list. "We're not going to *make* the food in July, why would we need to finalize the menu in July?" he literally said to my face. He clearly has his own set way of doing things and is unwilling to deviate from it, even when his customers want something different. The good: the food and service on the day of the wedding were great. The chicken was nice and juicy, which is a rarity for large catered events, and the potatoes were to die for. The people who actually ran the event at the wedding (Scott was not there) were extremely helpful and gracious, actually carrying out our requests without a fight. Nothing but good things to say about them. But overall: because of how difficult and contentious the planning process was, I definitely would not hire Catering by Scott again.

. Both Scotty and his staff are caring and kind. It feels like you are working with family. We greatly enjoyed our experience with Scotty and we will continue to make visits to his cafe in Bexley.

le to find a venue and went on a search for a Caterer. After many calls the only response I received was from Scott. He not only was able to put everything together for us for a Sunday wedding but did in in elegant style. The food was excellent. We did a buffet style with lemon herb chicken, brisket, smashed potatoes, green beans, green salad with fixins, and breads and rolls. He also provided a beautiful appetizer spread and fruit tray complete with chocolate covered strawberry's. The staff was very efficient and friendly. The color coordinated linens were also included and place settings including real china and silverware complete with real glassware for water service and Champagne toast. The staff helped finish the decorating of the tables perfectly. The staff and Scott communicated with us frequently to ensure things were done per our request. I highly recommend the family owned seasoned company. Thanks again Scott for helping out so graciously at the last minute and presenting things as if we had planned this event months in advanced.

and kept eating. (I was WAY too full for real though). This catering company is definitely worth checking out. Not only was the food yummy but the owner, Scott, and his staff are courteous and professional. You will not regret taste testing and booking these guys for your next event!

ious. We heard so many guests rave about the mashed potatoes, and rightfully so. Many said they would’ve enjoyed just a plate full of potatoes. They were that good. The chocolate covered strawberries were huge and so sweet. From cocktail hour to dinner to gyro bar for late night snack, everything was perfect. His staff was very professional also. Scott also helped with the rehearsal. We were not disappointed with anything and so glad that he catered the wedding.

mily! All of our guest marveled at how amazing everything was and asked us who handled the event. If you are trying to decide who to cater your wedding or any event you may be planning, you will be blown away by Catering by Scott and I couldn’t recommend them more!

ustling, smiling and making sure everyone was well-served--even though he had to be hot and exhausted. I was really impressed.

ly working with him a short time, he treated us like family and made sure that all of our wedding catering dreams came true. He and his family are just lovely people who really want a happy bride and groom, and we so appreciate his caring attitude and familial personality. The food at our wedding was incredible, the staff was super professional and everything went off without a single issue!! We're so grateful to Catering by Scott and would recommend the company to anyone!!

ything we could have asked for. They took care of every detail, it was perfect.

l details either. When we wanted black and white cookies, not only did he make them, he put custom stickers on the packaging as well! When I told him that it was my birthday a few days prior to our wedding, he had a birthday cake ready for me to pick up on my birthday! By choosing Catering by Scott, you are picking more than a caterer. We still talk about how much we love the food and the staff. We even got excited when we saw him from afar at Easton a few weeks ago! Five Stars – you will not be disappointed!

ic wedding at that. Our guests thrilled with the food and service as were we.

b a bit before leaving and plenty of left overs for the bride and groom to take with them. Excellent to work with!

st guidance to truly help make our wedding day the best possible. Scott was kind and flexible with any request or desire we had, and when COVID happened he and his team collaborated and presented all our meals in a safe manor. We are so grateful for Scott and his caring staff. Everything was perfect for our big day, and we know Scott was a big part of that.

us with every detail, making sure everything was not only perfect, but also safe. From picking out the menu, to set up, to serving, to cleanup, we couldn't have asked for a better experience all around. Couldn't recommend Scott and his team more!

iding professional advice and making the entire event easy. ABSOLUTELY LOVE HIM AND HIS TEAM. His food is truly EXTRAORDINARY!!! There was not a guest who did not tell us it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. His deserts are to die for. I will be forever in debt to Scott as he made my only daughter's wedding a weekend to remember. (He even found out it was my birthday and had a cake for me at the rehearsal dinner). As you can tell from my text.....we were thrilled with our experience.

ad food allergies. The food was quite delicious, and the event was successful. We were very pleased, and we highly recommend Catering by Scott for any event!

ntire process was priceless! We are so pleased and highly recommend him!

is taken care of. I cannot recommend Catering by Scott more highly!

Scott on future family events.

yard wedding weekend during a pandemic doesn’t mean it can’t be wonderful. Call Scotty he’s a pro and will make sure everything is perfect!! not to mention delicious!

original venue. With so many cancellations and changes, we were in a little bit of a panic about finding a new venue that was open and had availability on June 20th. I called Scott right away to let him know we needed to make a quick venue change and wasn't sure where to go. He told me not to panic and that he was going to hang up and make a few phone calls. Less than an hour later, he called me and said he found a place. It turned out to be the Bonner Barn at the Ohio Wildlife Center in Powell, OH. It was the perfect setting with a beautiful barn and loft for getting ready, a deck overlooking the pond, and rehabilitated wildlife! The luncheon Scott and crew provided was fantastic! Kudos to his staff as they were professional and friendly. The presentation was so beautifully arranged, and everything was very fresh and delicious. There was plenty of food for seconds and enough to to take some home. The cupcakes were excellent and the B & G cake was so elegant and pretty. Thank you Scott for adding the flowers and supplying the cake knife! My daughter and her husband were thrilled with their special day! Guests were very complimentary. In order to stay within CDC guidelines, Scott was compliant in protecting staff and guests by arranging tables and chairs, following social distancing guidelines as well as using plexiglass panels separating the food/staff from the guests. Everyone was very well accommodated and pleased with their experience. It all flowed very well. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day! Thank you for treating my daughter like one of your daughters and for always being there to answer our questions and for making great suggestions! Let's do this again! October is the big reception and we look forward to a mexican food fiesta catered by Catering by Scott! Thank you Scott and staff for being THE BEST caterer in Columbus!

ting at times, proved me wrong and I am so glad he was there to steer me in the right direction. Our guests had nothing but amazing things to say about the food and desserts

It was the best wedding food I've ever had, and our guests are still talking about it even after almost 2 months. Scott took care of everything-our appetizers, dinner, desserts, cake, and late night snack. We had food all night and everyone was so happy. Scott made everything so easy for us. He gave us so many great ideas and we could tell he was just as excited as us. We did a spooky theme for our wedding, and Scott really rolled with us. He made us spooky cupcakes, creepy cookies, and even carved pumpkins for our dessert table. He also put together this crazy candy apple display that was just this giant tower of goodness. Our venue was set up with stalls down a hallway, and Scott put together an awesome "trick or treating" through the stalls experience for us. He didn't just make our food, he gave us and our guests an experience that we'll remember for the rest of our lives. During cocktail hour, we had Scott and his team serve some appetizers. His staff brought us food while we took pictures, so we actually got to eat and enjoy our food. We were also served first and his staff was constantly checking in to make sure we ate. One of the biggest hits with our guests was our mashed potato bar during cocktail hour. We had mashed sweet potatoes and regular potatoes with all sorts of different toppings. Honestly, every time we see one of our guests, they almost always bring it up! We also did a taco bar at the end of the night that was literal heaven. It's very safe to say...we were well fed and well taken care of! With Scott, we didn't only get someone to cook for us. He truly helped us with our vision and made this whole process for easy. It was so great to have someone so on board with what we wanted! It's apparent that he loves what he does. He was always available to chat when we thought of something new or wanted to change something, and he really delivered on anything we threw at him. We are so so happy with everything he created for us, and I know we'll be recruiting him in the future for anything that requires catering (or, quite honestly, we might just have him cater a date night...because his food is THAT good)! You can also check him out at his restaurant, Scotty's Cafe. Scott, thank you again for everything you helped us with. The food was perfect and our experience was one that we will always remember and talk about for years to come. Cheers!

and mainly due to Scott Bast and his ability to help my team put all the finishing touches on every detail!! The food is always superb and is displayed in a gorgeous fashion! His staff and team members are kind, courteous and extremely hard working. Scott himself is such an asset to any event. He is friendly, kind, generous and goes way above and beyond in helping to make sure you are satisfied and happy with everything! Needless to say, I would without a doubt recommend Catering by Scott and Scott Bast for absolutely any event you are considering having...just ask my guests!

nts to use them for their daughter. Highly recommend this company for your catering needs.

ousands of weddings and cater other big events in the Columbus area so they really have it down to a science. I was so stressed about the wedding up until our final in person meeting with Scott - afterwards, I walked away knowing that he had everything under control. The service staff was also excellent the day of the wedding. Highly recommend!

reat ideas for our menu to make the food match the venue. He treated my fiance and I to a taste test at his restaurant, and my fiance was blown away by the flavors. (My fiance - how husband - came from a family who owned a catering business, so he is extremely picky!!). Our families were talking about the delicious food for weeks after the wedding. Scott was very accessible by phone and email throughout my planning process, and was quick to reply with ideas for setting up the tables and the buffet line to make practical sense and ease the flow of people through a tight space. The whole event was seamless, largely thanks to Scott and his amazing team! We were all so pleased, and I couldn't be happier that we chose Catering by Scott to serve our wedding meal.

cup in time very forgettable. Scott and his support team, from servers to bartenders, were spot on with excellent service- polite and personable at all times.

ert was on another level. We did a variety of spread for cocktail hour, dinner, and dessert. Everything tasted fresh and homemade. I was expecting great from their reviews, but they truly exceeded our expectations. The guests loved everything and we were pleased to hear how amazing everything was throughout the night. We highly recommend Catering By Scott.

at is what makes him go above and beyond for you. Not only did he provide delicious food for our day but he gave us advice and provided many tips and tricks to help with our wedding planning that wasn't just food related. He will work with you to give you what you ask for, even if it’s not what’s exactly on their menu. He cares about his brides and it truly showed from the day we met to even after our wedding checking up on us to make sure we were both nothing but 100% happy!

was his own daughter getting married, and I truly felt that to be true every step of the way. Scott listened to what we wanted and helped us to tailor our menu to fit our budget, offering creative solutions to ensure we had everything just as we wanted it. Scott met with us multiple times and was always available to talk over the phone for clarification. Scott coordinated with our venue (Irongate Equestrian Center) seamlessly and you could tell they've worked together many times before. Scott's staff was nothing but professional on our big day, providing superb service. No guest was left hungry and we continue to get comments on how delicious the food was, especially the desserts!! If I could do it all over again, I would hands down choose Catering by Scott, and I give him my highest recommendation!

lcohol. The process was very easy with Scott. He also takes care of linens, plates/utensils, etc- so you really don’t have to worry about anything. Lashutka is pretty building, with a balcony overlooking the river, but simple. Columbus Parks and Rec provides tables and chairs. Scott turned this into a fancier affair with linens and a buffet table, as well as a bar and bartender to serve guests. Everyone we interacted with that night was wonderful! The food- everything was AMAZING! When we arrived, there were light appetizers set out. By the time we were ready to eat, the staff had created a beautiful display of the dinner food, and they were there to help serve if needed. I would highly recommend Catering by Scott- we were thrilled with our experience and will use him again in the future.

to the wedding day. He was always available to chat and easy to get ahold of. The food itself was fantastic. All of my guests raved about how great the food and cupcakes were. We absolutely love Scott and would use his catering services again

till raving about the quality of the food nearly two weeks later. It was attractively displayed and the service was fabulous! Sheer perfection. Scott was a wonderful host. Five stars are not enough. The catering is so exceptional that we want to use it again for another party in the future. We very highly recommend this vendor.

ce table cloths. The buffet style dinner consisted of absolutely incredible breads, Pasta, Italian green beans, Chicken Parmesan and Meatballs. The dessert was some of the most incredible cupcakes ever and cannolis. The food was amazing. Many of our guest stated it was the best food they had ever had and the setup and display was done professionally and attractive. The meatballs and chicken parmesan was incredible. Our guests were fighting for the leftovers. I highly recommend Catering by Scott for your rehearsal or wedding event. Great food and great people.

ricing is very fair and his staff were extremely professional and personable. I most highly recommend Scott and his team!!

to choose from and also baked the most delicious cake and cupcakes I have ever had. Thank you so much, Scott!

ts raved about the incredibly delicious food. Scot is an amazing chef and the lovliest man. You cannot go wrong with him and his team. We genuinely love him and know that he loves us. Many, many thanks Scot!!!

er any question under the sun you have, even if it's something other than the food! He has a great eye and years of experience, so he gave me ideas I would have never come up with on my own! Scott and his staff did a wonderful job providing and setting up beautiful linens for the reception, as well as beautiful food displays for our buffet. The food was absolutely DELICIOUS and when we went to greet tables one of the first things the guests said was how wonderful the food was! Once dessert came around, almost all our cupcakes were eaten up because everyone enjoyed them so much! If you would like a delicious and impressive caterer in which your guests are satisfied from appetizers to desserts, Catering by Scott is the way to go!

creating a beautiful venue and did I mention the food :) He treats you like family and will make sure all details are taken care of and we felt we could focus our attention on the wedding which allowed us to enjoy the moment because everything was in good hands. Many of the guests at the wedding asked us who was catering and said the food was incredible and perfect for the occasion. There were so many compliments which made us feel really good knowing our guest enjoyed the food. The dessert was a big hit as well as the meal. My wife and I would recommend Catering by Scott to anyone reading this review and if you want an amazing memorable event then Scott is your guy! Thanks Scott for all you did for our daughter, you are the best!!!

ck and had to redo our wedding. Thanks Scott and crew for a fantastic wedding!!

ant. The way he displays the food is wonderful as well. Definitely stop in at his restaurant, everyone seems to be frequent customers and he even walks around to each table often. Highly recommend.

ng by Scott and would highly recommend them.

re are so many things that a bride has to worry about on her wedding day but Scott and his team made it so easy on us and I can't thank them enough! They made sure that we had cheese, veggies, and crackers waiting for us at the head table when we arrived (so we didn't have to fight the crowd) and that we always had drinks in hand if we wanted one. Scott is also much more than just a caterer, his extensive wedding experience came in quite handy with some ideas on how to really personalize our day. Even when my husband and I couldn't agree on a cake flavor, he was able to help us come up with the perfect compromise. By the way, the chocolate champagne cake was to die for! He was also wonderful at communicating with our reception venue regarding table setup and placement, which took some stress off of us so that we could focus on other things. I'm sure our wedding wasn't his only event over the weekend but the time and effort he put into planning with us made us feel as though ours was the only one. I honestly don't know how he does it. Scott started out as our caterer but now he feels more like family. I literally cannot say enough good things about Catering by Scott, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone getting married or hosting an event.

ch on Sunday after rhe wedding and it was wonderful as well. His staff is experienced, professional and efficient.

ur guests raved about the good food and one guest even told us the deserts were the best they’ve ever had!

what they wanted. The food was delicious !! ( My son who is one of the pickiest eaters I know went back for a second helping ! ). The staff was extremely friendly and the entire experience makes me thankful we chose Scott. I highly recommend Catering by Scott !!

orrying about it. He listened to what I wanted to create and took my ideas and made them happen. Our meal was absolutely delicious and we didn't even have to lift a finger. My husband's and my favorite memory was sitting at the table after we had finished dinner watching all of our family and friends mingle and enjoy the moment. Most of that happened because of Scott and his team! They even went along with my crazy family's idea for a giant cookie table. It was nothing short of magic and I'm so glad I chose to work with them!

to have him as their caterer! From the wings/mexican bar/pasta to the amazing cake and cupcakes. Thanks to Scott, the food was a HUGE hit. Forever grateful for this great man!!!

was amazing and helped ease so much of my stress. I highly recommend Scott for all future brides!

nks to Catering by Scott, we had guests texting and calling for days after our wedding still raving about the amazing food! We were also living 2 hours away from our venue trying to plan this wedding and Scott made every effort to make the planning easy for us. We so appreciated this with our busy schedules. Lastly, we cannot thank Catering by Scott enough for their beautiful presentations of food from cocktail hour, to dinner, to our beautiful cake and desserts, and our awesome late night snacks. I would give way more than 5 stars if I could for this amazing company!

e went on, I began to see what a huge mistake I made. His communication was horrific. He was impossible to get a hold of and did not answer emails. Initially he told me that he only booked 2 events in one day. We later found that on the day of my wedding he had 5 other events. The day before the wedding the linens were not set up when I had asked so that I could set up my tables. My mother called Scott to follow up on this and he hung up on her. The day of my wedding, I was starving and could not wait to eat. I was unable to cut into my chicken because it was harder than a brick. None of the food was anything like what we had tasted. My guests complained to me that some of the chicken was not cooked and raw in the center. The food was absolutely horrible. His staff was supposed to set up the dessert table immediately after the cake cutting. It did not get set up until my mom found someone and told them to which was only 1 hour before the wedding ended. We were told leftovers would be packed up for us at the end of the wedding. We had at least 10 guests not show up and there was no extra food. His staff packed up our wedding cake using boxes from doughnuts that I provide which completely smashed the cake. I cannot began to express my frustration, disappointment and anger that I feel towards Scott. We attempted to reach out to him after the wedding to have some resolution but he never responded. Scott was the worst part of my wedding. If my other vendors weren't so incredible he would have completely ruined my wedding day. DO NOT HIRE THIS MAN!

bout our food! he made us feel like family and we were so thrilled with his service!

ch was not his job but was so appreciated. Rhonda worked with us the day of and every time I passed her I just wanted to hug her for all that she was doing. From the moment I met with Scott I knew he would take care of my baby girl as if she were his own. I have had many phone calls today to tell me how great the food was. Thank so much, you were definitely one of the best choices we made.

t and his crew were reliable and professional and the food was delicious. Scott really knows weddings and we would recommend him to anyone!

tering by Scott was the easiest and best decide we made for our wedding. We would 100% recommend Catering by Scott to everyone for an event because these are the reasons why.... Scott, his wife and daughters, along with his whole team went above and beyond my husband and I’s expectations. We met with Scott several times before our big day. Scott is the type of person who genuinely cares about you as a couple. He was very welcoming, easy to talk to and will crack one to many jokes with you. We left feeling like family and felt like we have known him, his family and team our whole life. Scott and his team are very passionate about what they do because they take what you want and will execute it down to the T, as if it were their own wedding! My husband and I come from a big Italian family and wanted to serve italian food for our guest. Scott and one of his daughters, Audriana, are very knowledgeable about different cultured foods. The two of them kept throwing out many different dishes and ideas. My husband and I were blown away! We went with their ideas and we’re so happy we did. The guests at our wedding kept coming up to us throughout the night, complementing the display of food, the deliciousness of the taste and service that was provided! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and we know that our guests were happy and satisfied! That is what we wanted. Thank you Catering by Scott for ALL the hard work you put into our wedding to make it the best night of our lives!

made me feel better anytime I was having a melt down. He gives you helpful hints along the way even when it has nothing to do with food. He wants this day to be perfect for you! The day of my wedding our timeline didn't go quite as planned due to a rain that soaked you to the bone!! Scott and his team were amazing! They rolled with the punches and made everything run smoothly. The food was amazing! Everyone stated how they loved the food and loved my cupcakes. Scott made our cupcakes and our cutting cake and they were awesome! I would for sure recommend Catering by Scott! You wont be disappointed!!!

our families and guests like we were their family! The food was Absolutely Delicious and the service was Amazing! We Highly recommend Catering by Scott! We Love this company and we can't Thank Scotty, Gina and his team enough for giving us a Day to Remember!
