Kathy and her team are incredible. We had been to multiple tastings and hadn’t had a great experience with anyone yet until we went to see Cherry on Top. We were blown away by the braised short ribs, pecan crusted stuffed chicken, lemon sage pasta, sweet potatoes, and ratatouille. She even made adjustments to the menu for me (a vegetarian) to ensure my meal was just as wonderful. She even sent us home with leftovers from the tasting which was crazy. The leftovers were just as amazing. Our guests would not stop talking about the food even after the wedding.

Cherry on top was BY FAR our favorite vendor to work with! We cannot recommend them enough! Kathy was a true joy to work with and to get to know. She truly cared for our event like it was one that she was throwing, and boy did she execute. The food was by far the best wedding food that we have experienced. The catering staff was wonderful too. Overall, we give Cherry on Top and Kathy a 10 out of 10 and will be happy to recommend her to all of our family and friends for their future events. I truly don't think there could be a better wedding caterer in DFW.

Kathy is the BEST OF THE BEST! We could not recommend her enough. She and her team did all of the food & bartending for our wedding. We had amazing food stations that consisted of burgers, mini corndogs, fry bar, tacos, chips & salsa, & a BBQ station. We told her our favorite foods & she made it a reality. All of our guests cannot stop raving about how delicious everything was. Kathy is the sweetest person you will ever meet & she is so passionate about making your special day even more special with great food. Will never get over this food or this day!!! We cannot thank her or her team enough!
Love, The Muckleroy's

Cherry on Top did a fantastic job for my daughter's wedding reception! Everything was delicious, the servers were so kind and helpful, and everyone was raving about the delicious food. They offered a wonderful tasting experience for my daughter and her husband. I would highly recommend them for any occasion. My one regret is that I didn't ask them to cater the rehearsal dinner too. Great company and great people!

Cathy was a dream to work with - she was thoughtful, generous with her time and ideas, and great at working within our budget. She had ideas to make both our rehearsal and our reception extra special. The food was phenomenal - everyone at both of our events she catered raved about it. As a bonus, she is just extremely kind and a pleasure to interact with. Thank you to Cathy and the whole team for being so great!

Cherry On Top Catering was the most wonderful and professional catering team I have ever had the pleasure to work with. Cathy and her chef did such an amazing and detailed job of making sure everything tasted the way they needed to for the wedding. I wasn't expecting to be waited to hand and foot! It made the dinner and dessert go so smoothly! The Bar Tender was so nice and made everyone so comfortable! No pause in between meals and everyone was happy and full! HIGHLY Recommend! 10000/10!

Best EVER!!! Provided EVERYTHING and a dream to work with! Great food, excellent service, super nice staff. And…..a LIFESAVER!!! Kathy called me 30 minutes before my daughter was supposed to walk down the aisle at a church 30 minutes away from the venue. She called to let me know that no alcohol had been delivered for a 200 guest party. As I was fighting back tears and losing my mind, Kathy said these beautiful words:: “Don’t worry about it - I GOT THIS”. Then she sent one of her bar captains with her PERSONAL CREDI CARD on a 1 Hour round trip drive to the vendor and returned with the alcohol to the venue. And the reception was an unbelievable success! All because of her. Let me repeat: ALL because of her!! Can’t say thank you enough! Will be forever in her debt! THANK YOU FOR THE BEST RECEPTION EVER!!

Cherry on Top is a FANTASTIC wedding caterer! Kathy is so genuinely excited for all her brides and made me feel so special throughout the whole process. She has been in the wedding industry for a while so she has amazing tips to share about how to make your big day run perfectly, even if it doesn't apply strictly to catering. She went out of her way to address all of our questions and make sure we were getting what we wanted and that it would look great as well as be practical. She even went to the meeting with our linen and plate rentals to ensure we were getting everything we needed! I am vegan so I was planning a fully VEGAN wedding and Kathy was on board from day 1 to help me create a delicious menu that none of my guests would even think twice about the lack of meat. Even though this was her first time putting together a fully vegan menu, she truly worked with her chef to make a menu that was delicious and filling and from the first tasting, we knew we were in good hands! I got many compliments on the wedding's menu even from our carnivorous guests! To add to that, her staff is extremely efficient, professional and kind! I would not hesitate in trusting Kathy and Cherry on Top Catering with the food for your big day!!

Arya, you and your family were such a joy to work with and I thank you from the bottom of ...
my heart for your kind words! It brings me so much happiness reading what you wrote!
I will never forget how beautiful your reception looked and how gorgeous you were! Thank You for giving me the honor of being a part of the beginning of Your Happily Ever After!
Please don't be a stranger! AND... Enjoy San Antonio! :)

Kathy and her team were wonderful to work with. Everything was perfect! Since my wedding was just around the corner, I needed a caterer booked FAST! Kathy was kind enough to work with me over email and she designed a delicious menu to compliment our wedding theme & new last name, Lemon! The reception was flawless. The staff was professional and so kind! They went above & beyond, helping us beyond what they were expected to. The food was delicious (that risotto, especially!). They cleaned everything up and left the venue spotless.
Thank you so much for helping to make my wedding day perfect! Please thank your staff for all of their extra hard work - we appreciated them so incredibly much! I will recommend you to everyone!
response 07/27/2021
Jenna, thank you for your kind words! I'm so thrilled you were pleased! It was a pleasure ...
