Scott was absolutely the BEST choice for catering our wedding. He truly went above and beyond for us and the entire experience was effortless. From the cocktail hour all the way to his amazing desserts, him and his staff were professional and made sure everything looked perfect. People continue to mention how delicious the food was! I will always always always recommend him and his company!
We went to family wedding form Catering by Scott in Columbus this weekend . This was a fairytale wedding CATERING BY SCOTT. Scott and his team were amazing. The food, breads, and all the desserts were unbelievable. Every food station was a theme. Fantastic affair.
Scott and his team were truly wonderful to work with and we would highly recommend them as their food and service were first-class.
First, the food... we had 200 guests at our wedding and everyone raved about the food. Scott and his team prepared our cocktail hors d'oeuvres, buffet dinner, and after-dinner snacks. The cocktail hors d'oeuvres included an absolutely gorgeous cheese and vegetable spread which was absolutely perfect and a statement piece. Then, Scott's team masterfully managed our buffet table in which they quickly served our guests by carving the meat and personally served each of our guests with a smile and tremendous professionalism. Finally, the after-dinner snacks included a stunning display of fresh fruit and chocolate-dipped strawberries, customized cupcakes on an impressive tower, soft pretzels with customizable dips, and flavorful popcorn... all huge hits with us and our guests! Scott personally sat down with us numerous times and listened to what we wanted and enjoyed and worked hard to customize a menu and experience just for us... all the way down to custom-tailored snickerdoodle cupcakes because that was my favorite cookie... truly no detail left untouched. After the dinner, Scott and his team were remarkable in their fast clean-up and generous packing of all of the leftovers.
Second, the service provided by Scott and his team were such a blessing. Scott and his team are prompt and quick at replying and will work hard to personalize your day down to the very last detail. Scott's personality is charming and he can light up any room... such a pleasure to work with. We did not have a wedding coordinator, and Scott even personally volunteered his time to help run our rehearsal and even stood in the back of the venue to help time the processional during the ceremony. That is the kind of guy he is... and the team he employs reflects his incredible heart and character.
We would recommend Catering by Scott without reservation.
Any questions?
Scotty is a very caring person! He truly wants you to have the best day but at some points in the planning, I couldn't tell if he was pushing for what he wanted or what I wanted. There were some things that Scotty brought up that I didn't think about or my wedding planner didn't mention so I was thankful for that. It took us a while to decide on food because again Scotty was pushing for food he liked and what was popular instead of what we wanted. (side note: IF you like mashed potatoes, he claims they are a must). We ended up doing an herb-roasted chicken and pork tenderloin. We thought the pork tenderloin was delicious but the chicken was dry. Scotty did guarantee that we would be able to try the appetizers from cocktail hour even though we had to take pictures during that time, however, they were cold once we got to our table.
The most disappointing part of the night was that all along Scotty had guaranteed that he would send us boxes of food and desserts packed up for us to eat later that night. We did a sparkler send-off for our exit and left immediately after (which was all in the timeline) but quickly realized we were never given the food. Later that night, my mom was given the food right before they left the venue.
Overall I think Scotty does a lot for the price he offers! He just may not execute everything he wishes to.
We loved Scott for our wedding which happened in July 2023! To this day, we still rave about the experience and adaptability he brought to the table. We highly recommend him for catering
I got married in April and I am so glad that I listened to my gut when I booked Scott and his team! They are amazing. We had a party of about 150 and many of those folks had attended quite a few weddings. We heard from a lot of people that this was the BEST food they had EVER had at a wedding and we completely agree. The staff is amazing and Scott treats you just like a family member. I would HIGHLY recommend you book this caterer for your wedding or other event, if they are available. Our wedding day was so special and this was a very big part of it. Not to mention the pricing was better than some of the other options; my guess is that Scott's experience and expertise has enabled him to quote real prices whereas some other vendors pad theirs due to not having as many bookings? You will be so glad you selected this caterer, speaking from experience. Thanks Scott!
Scottie and his staff provided excellent food and service for our wedding. The main courses and sides were delightful, and several of our vegetarian and gluten-free guests commented that their meals were the best they've had at weddings or events. And when Scottie offers you "Our Amazing Cupcake Display", know that you're getting the best cupcakes you can imagine.
We loved working with Catering by Scott! Scott was so personable and he really helped us work through all of our catering details. The food was incredible and his staff was so attentive and friendly! I would highly recommend!
BY FAR, the best food for any occasion and so much more! Catering by Scott catered our wedding 25 years ago. Right before the ceremony, the lights in the ballroom went out! Scott stepped up and handled EVERYTHING. Not only is his food absolutely delicious, but he truly cares about the bride and groom and wants their day to be perfect! My husband and I recently celebrated our 25th anniversary and we asked Scott to cater our party. We went back to the ballroom where we originally got married and renewed our vows. Scott remembered exactly what we served our guests on our wedding day and recreated every last detail. I cannot tell you how many people kept telling us how fantastic the food was...everything from the main meal to the chocolate covered strawberries. If you want to have the best food in town and have it prepared and served by people who really care about you and your reception, then you really should choose Catering by Scott. You and your guests will LOVE it!
The food is still being talked about!! You can’t beat it and the service is excellent! Such wonderful people to work with! Can’t wait to use them again- but not for a wedding. Amazing food
The food was excellent and the staff was just as good! We were so pleased and our guests enjoyed as well!
My daughter's wedding was this past Saturday and everything about our experience with Scott was fantastic.
Delicious food that our guests are still raving about and excellent service. Scott's wealth of experience paid off in many ways from tips on working with hotels and other vendors since we're from out of town to being able to provide bartenders and guidance on alcohol selection since our choice of the Gahanna Sanctuary meant we had to cover more of the planning than we might have had to at other venues.
William and his day-of crew were fantastic to work with. Prompt & courteous - I had the opportunity to converse with several of them before and after the event and they're all top shelf folks who truly lover what they do.
This is my only daughter so I don't know that I'll ever be in the market for a large event caterer again but if I am Scott's my go-to.
Scotty and his team did an absolutely amazing job at our wedding. He catered the meal to fit the needs of my and my husband, including adding a special dish to honor his heritage and get his family more involved.
Not only was working with Scott wonderful, but the food was absolutely incredible. Everyone raved about how good it was, and we were one hundred percent satisfied with our experience all around. I highly recommend Catering by Scott!!
I absolutely love Scotty’s food! He has does more weddings than anyone else in the business, so he knows his stuff!! He Made my wedding day phenomenal!!
I have now been to over 5 events where Catering by Scott was the caterer and I am constantly amazed at how this company just knocks it out of the park every time! and the owner and his wife are the most wonderful people you will ever meet. They really care about every event they do and it shows in their attention to detail and all the extras they add to the presentation. The quality of their food is by far the best I have ever had in any event I have ever been to anywhere in the world! As an event promoter myself, I have very high expectations of my vendors and Scotty never fails in any circumstance! People should now Scotty also donates his time and services to many nonprofit charities and when he shows up it is with many smalls and hugs and kisses! He is truly one of a kind!
Scott is the Best! My husband and I were introduced to Scott through our wedding planner Rachel, at Irongate Equestrian Center. He catered our wedding in September 2021, and we now drive 1.5 hours every anniversary to get the same food and desserts. We talk about how excited we are for our anniversary food all year round and love our yearly trip to Scotty’s cafe and being able to catch up and talk with Scott and sit down for some breakfast before heading home with our weekly supply of food. Scott is more than a caterer, he is instant family.
He and his team go above and beyond for everyone and we recommend them to anyone looking for catering!
I’m currently eating the leftover plate that Scott’s crew made for me and my wife and I cannot get over how good it still is. We both were blown away by how easy it was working with Scott from start to finish. He was so great about accommodating to dietary needs and kiddo centered diets. Every interaction with Scott from start to finish left us excited and happy. The day of service was top notch as well and included some DELICIOUS surprises from team captain Shawn. And above all the food was INCREDIBLE. Catering by Scott’s reputation is well earned and what you get for your catering investment is incredible.
From meeting with Scott to seeing him the night of our wedding everything was perfect! Food was delicious and the meals that they packed for us to take home were perfect. Everyone loved the family style that we chose to do. Thank you Scott & Team <3
Planning a wedding can be stressful but, Scott made the process so much easier. The food was PHENOMENAL. I still have people talking about how good it was. Scott and the whole team treated us like family and I couldn’t have asked for a better catering experience. 100% recommend!!!
Two weeks after my wedding and I am still hearing from my guests that this was the best wedding food they have ever had! Scott and team were absolutely incredible, they took care of everything from setting up the napkins at each place setting, flipping my venue from ceremony to reception, clearing plates from tables, refilling waters to cleaning the reception when it was over. The staff wouldn’t even let me lift a box at the end of the day, they carried everything for me out to our cars. They were all so kind and thoughtful, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Scott has so much experience in the wedding world, I didn’t need a day of coordinator because he did it all for me. He made sure the flower girls went down the aisle on time, he made sure guests went to the right place for cocktail hour and served up the best food ever, followed by a beautiful and delicious dessert bar, coffee and chocolate covered strawberries. It’s all very impressive what they do and the price honestly can’t be beat! I cannot thank Scott and his team enough for all that they did for us leading up to the wedding and on the day of our wedding!
Catering by Scott catered our June 17th wedding. The staff was amazing and Scotty even showed up at our reception and took a picture with us. Everyone kept talking about how good the food was as well!
Lots of experience! Great food- we had breakfast foods and he took it to the next level!
I learned about Catering by Scott after visiting his restaurant in Bexley. The food at the restaurant is outstanding and when we learned he did catering, we went to him to cater for my daughters wedding.
We choose the family style food service and food was wonderful and served each table with many servings. Our guests complemented the service and food all night long.
The staff wonderful and made the night extra special. I know that Catering by Scott will always be the go to catering company for any family event in the future. Scott is a wonderful person and did everything he could to make my daughters wedding night very special.
Thank you Scott!!!
Everything was perfect. From the table linens, place settings, definitely the food and of course the staff. Our wedding was in November and we still have guests talking about how delicious the food was and how attentive the staff was to them. Scott helped us plan our whole day so that it could be exactly what we wanted and exceeded our expectations! He worked great together with The Peak at Edison where we held our ceremony and reception to make everything completely seamless. If you need a caterer for your wedding or special event, who will make everything amazing for you this is the one you need to use!
We could not have picked a better caterer! Scott is so hands on and really cares about each of the couples that he’s working with. His food is the best you can get and he really makes sure you and your guests are taken care of. We would recommend him 10 out of 10 times!
Scott exceeded all our expectations! Of course the food was amazing and our guests all raved about how delicious and warm the food was. Scott guided us through the entire planning process and offered ideas beyond catering. His experience makes a big difference. He treated my daughter and me as if we were his own. Scott even offered recommendations for us to spend less money! The staff he hired for our 260 pp event were top notch and the food displays- dessert and cocktail hour was very impressive. Our high expectations were easily met. I now consider Scott not just a vendor but a friend. As a result of our experience, my daughters best friends wedding will be catered by Scott. Professional and dependable.
Thank you Scott!!
Scott and his entire staff are amazing!! Every detail, from the food, to the appearance, to the service was absolutely perfect. Scott is so kind, and seems to have a real passion for service and ensuring that all events he is a part of are perfect!
Scott and his team did an amazing job! I would recommend this catering company to anyone! You can tell Scott is very passionate about his job and loves what he does, which makes the experience so much more enjoyable. Scott’s years of experience shows in the planning process and decision making. He was great with giving my husband and I recommendations of what he has seen be the most successful at the weddings he has catered and what would help our day run smoothly. The food was amazing and every single person at our wedding told us how tasty it was. The staff was on time and had everything in order for the event to run smoothly. Scott really made my husband and I feel special with his personalizations for us. The dessert spread he did for us was spectacular and the late night food spread was a huge hit! If you’re looking for a caterer that has your best interest in mind, then you should definitely choose Catering by Scott!
Scott truly went above and beyond to make sure I had the perfect day. He was very helpful and had creative ideas during the planning process. He is very experienced and has the best advice. He even helped during our rehearsal which was so kind and we really appreciated.
Everyone was talking about how great the food was. Everything was delicious and perfect. He set up a dessert and cookie table at the reception that was beautiful! The presentation and quality of the food is 5 stars! I highly recommend his company.
Catering by Scott served a delicious luncheon at our church today, with a beautiful salad, garlic chicken, flavorful green beans, rolls, and really good cookies and triangle chocolate that was enough to make your eyes roll back. The servers were very personable, and left our kitchen and dining hall in immaculate condition.
As parents of the groom we wanted to make sure the rehearsal dinner didn't infringe on what was planned for the wedding reception offerings. Scott made some fantastic suggestions that made that possible. Furthermore, tips he offered on beverage selection kept our budget within reason. Thank you Scott!
If I could give 0 stars, I would! I would NEVER recommend Catering by Scott to anyone and have strayed multiple brides away from choosing him! Scott is extremely unprofessional, and he’s a great salesman and makes a lot of promises that he doesn’t follow through on. His staff arrived to our wedding over an hour late and Scott never even came when he said he would be there! The food the day of the wedding tasted nothing like the food at our taste testing (my cousin got married a few weeks before us and also used catering by Scott and they had the exact same issue). After making promises that he ended up not following through on, I called him out on that and instead of trying to make things right he threatened to cancel on me 1 week before my wedding and proceeded to hang up on me during a phone conversation! He is extremely hard to get ahold of and many times just doesn’t respond to a correspondence entirely. I had to call his restaurant and ask his staff to put me in contact with him any time I did actually get to talk to him. The only negative experience of my entire wedding was Scott and his company! For any bride who wants a stress free wedding, AVOID THIS CATERER AT ALL COSTS!!
My daughter was married on July 31. Scott was very patient and helped in planning the perfect meal for our 260 guests. Scott’s team did a phenomenal job throughout the entire day from appetizers to desserts. They paid attention to every detail so I could relax and enjoy the day. You guys are awesome!!
We found Catering by Scott 7 months before our wedding because our previous caterer had dropped out. I am so happy we found them! Scott was awesome to work with. He was so kind and helpful. The day of our event, Willie was the man in charge and he was awesome. On top of that, the food was incredible. Every person we spoke to during and after the wedding said that the food was incredibly delicious, and we agree! Everything was absolutely fantastic and stress free with Scott and his team.
Look no further for your caterer!! We found the absolute best when we found Scotty and wishing we could give him more than 5 stars!! From start to finish, we were treated as our daughters wedding was his only priority! His staff was top notch, food was delicious and we left being a part of his family!! When you put your catering needs in his hands, you can put your catering worries to bed and concentrate on all the other worries for your wedding day!!
Scott was by far the best catering option I could have EVER picked for my wedding here in Columbus. My entire experience working with Scott from beginning to end was incredible. He really got to know us as a couple and customized our menu with some of our favorite things- including philly cheese steak sliders and buffalo chicken dip for my now husband! What you're really getting when you work with Scotty is QUALITY. Quality of service, quality of food, and quality of money well spent.
Scott really became like family to us through our planning process. We felt like our needs were going to be met no matter what and that Scott and his team were going to go above and beyond for us to make our event what we envisioned. As a type-A bride, that really brought me a lot of peace. He even came to my venue prior to the wedding to help walk through the day of the event with my coordinator so that everything would be perfect. And it was! His staff was friendly and professional, and everyone got their food without a hitch and were super satisfied. I am STILL getting phone calls two weeks after the wedding from people saying it was the best wedding food they'd ever had.
I am eternally grateful and happy that I ended up using Scott as my caterer and I was already recommending him to everyone before my wedding even happened! I would tell ANY Columbus bride to use Catering by Scott.
So we initially heard about Catering by Scott when he donate a bunch of meals for a fundraiser at the animal shelter we adopted our dog from. We were able to taste the food originally from that and we were blown away! The food was so amazing! That’s when we knew we wanted him to cater our wedding and we were not disappointed once so ever! We did not even realize what all came with the package we got. All of the linens, dinner ware and service were included. With the package being a buffet we though it would be self serve but no they served the buffet making it so much more special! The staff was so amazing! There was a women walking around making sure to fill up the water and constantly checking in on us to make sure my husband and I were doing great! I also owe it to her for making it down the isle! I was in the back room just before the ceremony and started crying and she comforted me- so kind!
Before the actual wedding day we had two meetings with Scott to go over our food choices and just to make sure the day goes by smoothly. This helped me feel so much more confident about the day! Overall I highly highly recommended Catering by Scott! The food was amazing and the staff was also amazing!
Excellent delicious food with many options to choose from. The event staff was friendly and efficient. We had many wonderful compliments from our guests about the food at the wedding. Scott is great to work with and makes the Bride feel special.
We had Scott as our caterer for our wedding last weekend and he exceeded expectations. The food was great and his team was outstanding. Our wedding coordinators failed us miserably but his staff didn’t hesitate to step up where they could and helped get the evening smooth. They truly went above and beyond and I wouldn’t ever hesitate to hire them again for any future events!!
Catering by Scott did an exceptional job at my wedding. Guest were serve promptly and efficiently and the servers were very hospitable. We received several compliments to our Asian themed meal. The food display was very attractive and colorful. Our wedding cake was very pretty and tasted fantastic. A big Thank You to Scott and Gina!!
Scott and his staff are top-notch. Scott goes out of his way to ensure that all of the anxiety is taken out of the logistics and planning. My wife and I had our original wedding date scheduled for June 2020, and with COVID scaled back to a small family-only ceremony. He helped us plan a split event and catered both the small ceremony/lunch last June and the full wedding reception this October without an ounce of hesitation or salesmanship. He and his staff are truly concerned about the happiness of their couples and ensuring they have the day that they want.
My favorite moment working with Scott was when we initially met to plan the menus. My wife and I had an idea of the kind of "boring, standard wedding food" that we might want at our wedding. Scott immediately sensed our less-than-enthusiastic line of thinking and asked "you two are going out to dinner... what kind of restaurant are you going to?" And from there, we immediately perked up and started talking about our favorite cuisines and food items, and Scott perfectly planned and executed a Mexican-style fiesta for us complete with a fajita bar, chips/dips, sangria, the works. It was PERFECT! Everybody that we have talked to after our event has said how great the food was and one guest even said "this is the best wedding food I have ever had!"
Scott and his staff are absolutely the best in the business! We have recommended them to friends and will continue to rave about the quality of the food and quality of service. Thanks Catering by Scott!
We’ve used him several times through the years he’s incredible. Outstanding service in the unique things that he does to make each event so special for us. He has done two weddings and an incredible brunch After the wedding the next morning for all of our out-of-town guests and family. He made my house look absolutely beautiful with his ability to blend the decor and food into the perfect setting for our brunch for fifty guests. I highly recommend him. Stephanie Shipley
Scott and his friendly professional staff did an outstanding job catering our daughter’s wedding as well as a morning after brunch for our out of town guests. Scott is genuinely concerned with helping plan your special event and he delivers! Great food! Great service.! We received numerous compliments from our guests. Would highly recommend Catering by Scott!
Scott and his amazing team of bakers, cooks and servers produced a dream wedding for our daughter and son-in-law. From our first planning meeting to the night of the event, they were responsive, efficient and professional. Our guest are still talking about the delicious food! Elegant comfort food for 230 guests was beautifully displayed and safely served by smiling servers. If you want to eliminate stress and really enjoy your wedding, go with the experienced and confident team of Catering by Scott. We were so pleased!
We were very happy to have such a personable and communicative caterer for our wedding at The Peak. We came to him with our own ideas and he was able to suggest ways to make it better, more elegant and cost effective. This is where having someone with his level of experience really made a difference. Everyone on his team arrived on time at the venue and were absolutely delightful. The food was spectacular and the presentation was amazing. We had such a great experience with Catering by Scott that we contracted with them again a few months later to cater my mother's birthday party, where they once again, did an amazing job! People were asking me for the name of our caterer because they were so impressed, as guests, so they can contract with him.
Scott and his team catered our wedding ceremony last month and they were FANTASTIC! Food and service were excellent. Scott was on top of every detail and was a huge help in planning the timing of our wedding day events.
I could not recommend Scott more highly.
Scott and his team were fantastic at the Darby House! They made the catering process smooth and least of our worries. Scotts team provided my wife and I with to go bags to ensure we ate on our big day.
If you are looking for a caterer I hope you don’t have to search anymore because he is the one. The food is absolutely amazing.
Scott has done many many weddings and has tons of experience. He has tons of creative wedding ideas. Scott was very comforting and helped us with anything we needed. 10/10.
Scott is the sweetest man alive! He truly cares for your special day. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else. We ate his left overs the rest of the week. Service, food and hospitality was incredible. I will continue to use him if I ever need catering services in the future. You truly will be in good hands. Always full of surprises and fun.
Scott truly went above and beyond for my after shake ups at my venue the week before my wedding had me feeling stressed. He talked through every question and concern I had, was very patient and kind, and even helped me get a seating chart together 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!
Scott is certainly a salesman, but lacks an interest in communication and planning. This is the 2nd wedding I've been to in the last 2 months that he's catered and he was late (an hour or longer to each). The first was a buffet and the food was 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.
Catering by Scott catered our June 2021 wedding. Scott helped us plan our unique menu and lent us table cloths for our reception as well! The food and dessert was wonderful! The cupcakes and cake were delicious and beautiful and the Mac and cheese 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!
We used Catering By Scott for our wedding, and had such an incredible experience with him & his team. He genuinely cares about each of his couples & was so helpful throughout the planning process. We had such a delicious meal and everything was 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!!!
We used Catering by Scott for my daughters wedding 10/10/21. Everything went off without any problems. The staff were very professional, friendly and easy to work with during the wedding. And most importantly the food was delicious! We received 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.
Scott and his team did an amazing job catering our wedding! He is extremely knowledgeable about the wedding industry and went above and beyond to help make our day special. You can tell that Scott truly cares about you and treated us like family. The food was great and we really enjoyed working with him. We would 100% recommend him for your event!
Catering by Scott catered our wedding in Hocking Hills in July and made the process as easy as possible. The food was delicious and his staff was very professional, even going as far as driving to get more water during our reception when we ran out! I would highly recommend them to anyone for their event or wedding!
Scott catered our rehearsal dinner and our wedding in September 2021. He was AMAZING and the food is so great! We started working with him several months before the big day to make sure everything was perfectly planned and exactly how we wanted 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!
We only have great things to say about Scott’s Catering in Bexley. First off, the food is AMAZING! We had many compliments from both our guests and families. The mashed potatoes and beef brisket were our favorites, but every detail from appetizers 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!
Scott and his team were fantastic from the day we hired them. Scott was always available to help and take our calls, he went above and beyond for the entire wedding process and was someone we could truly depend on. His staff was great and friendly and the food was fantastic! Overall very very happy with everything.
The bad: the entire planning process with Scott was an uphill battle. If you are someone who wants to be entirely hands off and let someone else make all the catering decisions, then this is your guy. But if you have any opinions at all about what 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.
Scott was absolutely AMAZING. My husband and I enjoyed working with him. He is so kind and caring and will make your day however you want it. The food he serves is so delicious. We got so many raves about the food that was served at our wedding. 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.
Our daughter is in the Air Force and had a wedding planned for January. She received orders that she was being relocated over seas in July. We had to cancel the wedding and attempt to put something together ASAP for three weeks out. We were able 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.
Catering by Scott did a fabulous job for my daughters poolside wedding shower! The food was delicious! Scott paid attention to every detail to make everything perfect! The staff were super nice & attentive to all. I highly recommend!!!
I am a wedding photographer and I HAD to review this company’s food. The couple had “breakfast for dinner” along with some other salad and fruit options and it was all incredibly delicious. If I wasn’t working I may have just sat there all day 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!
Catering by Scott just catered our sons wedding this past weekend. Our son raved about the food at the tasting prior to the wedding and about how attentive Scott was. We now understand. Scott made sure everything was perfect. The food was delicious. 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.
If you are looking for caterer for an event, look no further. Scott is not only the most knowledgeable caterer in the industry but also provided the highest service possible. Throughout our whole wedding planning process we were treated like family! 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!
We attended a wedding at The Barn in Danville on June 26, and the catering was handled by Catering by Scott. On an extremely hot day, and a large crowd, they did a great job. A fellow named James handled the bulk of the work and never stopped hustling, smiling and making sure everyone was well-served--even though he had to be hot and exhausted. I was really impressed.
Response from the Vendor on 06/30/2021
thank you so much, it means so much to have hear how happy you were at the wedding, breakfast for dinner is always so much fun and It was a hot day! Thank you so much, we hope to see you again at another event we are catering.
Catering by Scott was truly a godsend for us and our May 15, 2021 wedding. We originally hired a different caterer but they went out of business due to COVID and less than 2 months before our wedding, Scott stepped in as our caterer. Despite only 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!!
Catering by Scott catered my daughter’s wedding this past Sunday. Scott and his team provided delicious food with the best presentation. Our guests raved about the mashed potatoes and chocolate covered strawberries. The service was beyond anything we could have asked for. They took care of every detail, it was perfect.
By far the best service in Columbus! Scott and his staff were efficient, safe, and an abundance of fun. Not only was the food delicious, the presentation was impressive. But seriously, order the mashed potatoes! Scott didn’t stray from the small 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!
Our interaction with them was nothing short of familial and respectful. There was no stress added to our planning, they took care of everything on their end and more. They truly went above and beyond to ease the stress of a wedding and a pandemic wedding at that. Our guests thrilled with the food and service as were we.
We had Catering by Scott provide food for the brunch the morning after the wedding. It was great. The fruit platter was beautiful and fresh. We also had salads (tuna and egg). The platters were perfect, plenty of food for all the guests to grab a bit before leaving and plenty of left overs for the bride and groom to take with them. Excellent to work with!
Amazing Food, Amazing Caterer!
Scott has previously catered my husband’s family’s Thanksgiving, so when we saw he did weddings it was an absolute must!
Scott was so personable, treating us like family right from the start, and giving us the best 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.
Scott and his team were amazing. Not only was the food delicious, they were so professional and made everything so easy for us every step of the way. Especially now during covid, there are so many additional challenges, and Scott's team helped 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!
Scott and his team catered my daughter's wedding on 10/17/20 at the Irongate Equestrian center (rehearsal dinner and reception). Scott gets my highest recommendation. From the minute he met us till the end of the event he was at our side providing 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.
When there were no other options, Scott came through for us, catering our wedding rehearsal dinner. Scott and team were very accommodating when we had to make a last-minute venue change, as well as helpful with some of our family members who had 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!
Scott was fantastic to work with, full of experience and advice, and helped guide the happy couple to great decisions. The food was terrific for both the rehearsal dinner and the reception. He has a big heart and it shines through his food!
From the moment we met Scotty, we knew he would do everything in his power to make our daughter and son-in-law’s wedding perfect...he did not disappoint! He and his staff were wonderful! The food was delicious, and his guidance throughout the entire process was priceless! We are so pleased and highly recommend him!
Best caterer in the business. The food was amazing. Very professional. I recommend Catering by Scott to any bride looking for great food and excellent service.
Scott catered our daughter's COVID wedding in the woods. Everything was perfect! He made the preparation and the day worry free. The food was fantastic and the service was impecable. Scott and his crew go above and beyond to make sure everyone is taken care of. I cannot recommend Catering by Scott more highly!
Great food and service for our wedding reception. Scott was outstanding and patient in helping us plan and make the menu choices . William and his entire team were phenomenal in taking care of the entire event. We look forward to working with Scott on future family events.
There is no other Scott! He is an amazing caterer but he also truly cares about his couples and helps make all details of the wedding day perfect. Absolutely incredible!
We had Scotty cater our Friday night and Sunday brunch! Absolutely delicious. He sent lunch on Saturday to the bride and groom and their attendants. Everything arrived in beautiful serving bowls and was easy to serve. Having a special backyard 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!
My daughter got married June 20, 2020. As mom of the bride, I can't say enough great things about Scott. Words cannot express how grateful we are to Scott for jumping on the last minute (one week out!) venue change due to cancellation from our 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!
Scott went above and beyond when it came to the food for our wedding. He was incredible to work with and always followed through with promises. He has so much experience when it comes to weddings and all of his recommendations, although frustrating 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
Okay, Scott is AMAZING! We first heard of him when we were checking out venues and got a list of suggested caterers. Scott was always on the top of those lists, and I can now say for certain that I know why.
The food was INCREDIBLE. Seriously. 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 any
