We cannot recommend Celebrations Catering enough! They just catered our wedding and we had such a great experience. Amanda was super communicative and helpful throughout the entire...
process. I needed to change my seat time for a group tasting, and they were able to accommodate me so I could still join the tasting and choose menu items. We did passed apps and a buffet and the food was absolutely INCREDIBLE. Our guests were raving about it, and we got to take the leftovers home the following day which kept us happily fed for a few days after our wedding. We really loved working with Celebrations and highly recommend them!

n catering POC and she was fantastic. What really stood out to us is how collaborative Amy and the Celebrations team is. Our concerns and requests were always heard and addressed, and there was also such a great balance of the team making thoughtful suggestions and/or presenting different perspectives along the way. From the wow factor of the tasting to sourcing different beverages we requested for the bar, problem solving for various little things that arose, to making sure my husband had horse radish for his meal the night of our wedding, we were blown away. We’ve gotten so many compliments on the food, specifically the short rib that was such a hit. In addition, when we arrived to pick up the linens the day before our wedding with a completely packed car, we were greeted by the friendliest head chef himself who confidently said “oh we’ll make these fit, no problem” and helped us load them in our car. What an excellent and stress free experience it was working with Celebrations. We highly recommend. Thank you Amy, Chef John & team!!!!

We used Celebrations to cater our small elopement celebration at my parent's home with our immediate families on a Friday evening, and I can't say enough good things about working ...
with them. Highlights include:
-Working with Amanda through the planning process. We were rather indecisive about exactly what we wanted, and she was wonderfully patient and thorough to make sure we knew about every option available to us.
-I called Amanda about 2 hours before their arrival time to ask if she could provide an additional tablecloth, as we changed our table configuration at the last minute. She was incredibly understanding and provided us exactly with what we needed.
-The food was amazing! Even the basic dishes like the vegetables were prepared perfectly. We had everything served family style, and the presentation and table service were outstanding. I'd read great reviews about the short rib and it lived up to the hype!
-The bar service was perfect. I was so impressed with the setup and service. She kept our toddler-aged nieces and nephews happy with lemonade, and created an amazing signature spicy margarita that was truly a hit. I loved having the option to provide bar service to our guests- it made the occasion feel so much more elevated.
-The chefs not only prepared amazing food, but they were just so completely professional and pleasant to work with. My mother is particular about her home to say the least, and when she saw them wiping down the floors in her kitchen after preparing food there all night, she was blown away.
Celebrations has so clearly worked a large range of events, and they provided small details and helped out in ways that I wasn't expecting but made such a positive impact on our evening. My parents are now actively looking to host or attend an event that requires catering service so they can recommend Celebrations to others. THANK YOU, Celebrations, for making our night so perfect and memorable!

Celebrations Catering did an incredible job for our wedding this June. We had a "raw" venue that required us to bring our own catering with rentals such as plates, silverware, cups...
, etc. Celebrations was an amazing company to work with and provided everything we needed. They were professional, communicative, and helpful every step of the way - from the taste testing, to check-ins before the wedding, all the way to the big day. I have celiac and many of my family members have food allergies. They took allergies VERY seriously, adapting the menu and labeling everything at the buffet so everyone knew what was safe for them to eat. To top it all off, the food was AMAZING. All of our guests complimented it and some even said it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. Celebrations also wrapped up our leftovers and left them in the cooler at our venue for us to bring home. Our guests loved the food so much, they asked to take some home! I 100% recommend this company!

They were all raving about how delicious the food was and to their surprise most of the options we had were gluten free and dairy free with some exceptions. Cheri was so very easy to work with and they were so accommodating to our diet restrictions. Plus they are very reasonably priced. We are very happy with everything and would definitely use them again! If you’re looking for tasty food at an affordable price, Celebrations is a solid choice.

ting was great - we got to select the menu and talk to both the bartenders about drink selection and chef about dinner. Amanda went above and beyond to make sure our menu was personalized, walked us through how to stock the bar for all guests, and answered ALL of our questions quickly and thoroughly. The day of our wedding could not have gone more smoothly - all of the food was delicious, the staff was kind, they executed a NYE midnight champagne toast, & the team even set up and labelled our dessert table that we had purchased through a different vendor. I would absolutely recommend Celebrations to anyone looking for catering or bartending for their own weddings!

d encouraged us to be creative with our menu. My husband and I had decided on an “upscale BBQ” theme - grilled chicken, steak tips, roasted veggies, potatoes, etc. Wow - Celebrations nailed it!! All of the food was freshly prepared and grilled on-site in their food truck. Our guests are still raving about the juicy chicken, delicious steak, crisp salad and perfectly seasoned veggies. Everything was INCREDIBLE!!
While the food was the star of the show, the Celebrations staff was absolutely amazing. I can’t express how grateful we are for their effort and attention. We had ten staff members working our event. They all made sure all of our guests had plenty of passed appetizers, the buffet stayed full and all plates were cleared in no time! They even met our bridal party with a tray of appetizers when they returned to cocktail hour after taking photos. Exceptional!!
Amy and her team are wonderful to work with. They were so responsive and easy to communicate with. We had made changes throughout the wedding planning process and it was totally easy! Celebrations is a dream vendor for anyone planning a wedding!! We cannot recommend them enough.

wnfalls that I have was due to Covid, so likely not completely their fault. They wouldn’t put food down for the bridal party while we were getting our pictures done so we didn’t get to have any of that but maybe if you mention it, they can make it easier the next time. We also had a hard time because we originally had to cancel the wedding three months in advance and they weren’t willing to work with us by giving us any money back except for a credit. They made up for it with the willingness to work with us when we were able to pick a new date. The filet was so good and they do work with you for any ideas you might have! Amy worked with the chefs to get us an appetizer that wasn’t even on the menu and it was so good!

When looking for wedding caterers, we started by reaching out to a bunch of vendors after researching on wedding websites. Only 2 responded quickly, and Celebrations stood out with...
a great menu and an incredibly detailed set of resources explaining all our options. The choice was pretty clear.
We opted for a family-style meal for our wedding, which we felt let the guests adjust portions to their own needs while not worrying about a buffet line affecting the timing. Amy was really easy to work with from the beginning and was responsive over email and phone. She set up a nice tasting for us where we got a chance to try different appetizer and main course options to help fine tune our menu, as well as look at linen and table setting choices. Amy also coordinated directly with our venue coordinator about their needs so we didn't really have to get too involved there.
My husband and I made it a point to really eat at our wedding. The food was too good not to! The appetizers were fun and unique, including mini chicken & waffles, bacon-wrapped dates, macaroni & cheese bites, and tomato soup shooters w/ grilled cheese bites. For our main course we had beef in a merlot sauce, grilled chicken piccata, rice pilaf, and grilled vegetables. Everyone was raving about the food!!!! We also opted to use their bartenders but purchased our own alcohol, and it worked out quite nicely as they still provided all the mixers, limes, napkins, cups, etc.
Trust me, wedding food doesn't have to be boring. We would definitely recommend Celebrations for your event.

(There was portions leftover so I was able to enjoy them for several days later)

I could not believe how many people commented on how delicious the food was, from the passed apps to the buffet dinner to the late night snacks, everything was fantastic. I honestly didn't have high expectations because I'm usually very picky about catered food, but everything was high restaurant quality and we had plenty of options for our guests, including gluten free, lactose intolerant and vegan. PLUS they packed up all of the leftovers for us and we froze the brisket and pulled BBQ chicken and had several days worth of meals to come home to after our honeymoon! I would absolutely recommend Celebrations to any couple.

nd it was amazing that they were able to do this with our menu! The price was very affordable, and they were willing to do just about any foods we asked them for. We will definitely use them again for our catering needs.

I don't think I could have gotten through wedding planning without Amy and Celebrations. They were attentive, thorough, the food was delicious and presented beautifully, and so so ...
easy to work with. I hired Amy to be my day-of coordinator and can't recommend her enough. Amy was a star talking me down from the ledge when I was panicky about wedding decisions and what to do. She was a calm, guiding force that kept me moving in the right direction and made sure I had all my stuff together. The day of the wedding she took over and made sure all the decorations (and people!) were where they should be. And she made sure I had food! She came to meet us with food and water while we were taking photos, and worked with our DJ to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible. We had a perfect day and it was all because of Amy and her wonderful staff!
