For our daughter’s wedding at Harry P. Leu Gardens, we chose Dubsdread Catering and we were delighted with our choice. The food was excellent in every way – taste, presentation, quantity, and quality. Dubsdread was able to accommodate all our various dietary restrictions to provide a scrumptious buffet. Our guests were quite impressed with the food. The services provided exceeded our expectations. David, our coordinator, was so helpful with planning and coordinated our day perfectly. His experience and calm demeanor made the entire process so much easier. Omar tended to the Bride and Groom on their wedding day. He anticipated their every need and ensured the day progressed smoothly and they were comfortable and happy. The entire staff were friendly, efficient, and attentive. It was a beautiful reception. We are extremely pleased we chose Dubsdread and highly recommend them for any event.
We chose Azalea Lodge for our 10/26 wedding. It was absolutely perfect. The Dubsdread team was efficient and professional. It was one of the best days of my life. I would highly recommend this venue if someone is looking for a “botanical” theme. And of course, the Dubsdread catering team is amazing regardless of where you choose to get married. Big shout out to Peighton (our coordinator) and Omar (our personal assistant) for their attention to detail and overall joy
The food was EXCELLENT. Our wedding was at one of their owned venues and they were all fantastic to work with and so accommodating for dietary needs of our guests as well as fantastic and delicious plates for food. Our guests are still raving about it and they went above and beyond to make it all a beautiful experience and make sure my husband and I were able to fully enjoy all the food during and after our wedding!
The food turned out delicious! Juicy chicken, flavorful sirloin, yummy garlic mashed potatoes! The chicken potstickers and coconut shrimp apps were a hit at cocktail hour too.
We had our own butler service the entire evening. Bob was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the night.
Our coordinator, Kristen, was the best to work with! Dubsdread offers a free tasting to help you choose your menu. They did not disappoint and we were able to bring two guests with us. The whole process was amazing and everyone involved was professional and responsive. We’re highly recommend using Dubsdread Catering, and especially doing the event at Dubsdread itself.
The best food!! So many options and very accommodating to those with dietary needs!
We had our wedding at the Legacy Gardens in Mead Botanical Garden, catered by Dubsdread Catering, and it was an absolutely magical experience. The venue itself was breathtaking, offering a perfect blend of natural beauty and elegance that made our day truly special. The staff at the Legacy Gardens were exceptional, going above and beyond to ensure everything was just right. A special shoutout to our point of contact, Kristen, who was phenomenal throughout the entire process. Her responsiveness, attention to detail, and genuine care for our needs made the planning process a breeze and the actual day stress-free. Also, BOB is the best! He made sure we (bride and groom) were comfortable throughout our night, refilling our drinks and getting us apps as we ran around taking endless photos. BOB is one of the reasons to choose Dubsdread Catering.
The food provided by Dubsdread Catering was a highlight of the evening, receiving rave reviews from all our guests for its flavor and presentation. We were also incredibly pleased with the accommodations, which added an extra layer of comfort and enjoyment to our special day. Choosing the Legacy Gardens in Mead Botanical Garden was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we wholeheartedly recommend it to any couple looking for a venue that offers natural beauty, excellent service, and unforgettable food. A huge thank you to Kristen and the entire team for making our wedding day perfect!
The food at my wedding was excellent! Everything was perfecrly seasoned, and they took special care with the few food allergies my guests had- gluten, tomatos, brazillian nuts, and dairy. There was no extra charge for accomodations, and meals were prompt. I loved their food tasting, and was given the opprtunity to try quite a bit from their menu. So when it came time to pick our meals for the wedding, we knew what we wanted. Service was 10/10 day of, and the bar was well stocked. The communication was quick, and the whole team was very professional. There was only one meeting where I felt we were on different pages, but those issues were quickly cleared up. They go above and beyond to make your dream a reality. Our wedding was beatiful, and part of that was because of the outstanding staff and food service.
Dubsdread Catering is outstanding!! Our wedding at the Historic Dubsdread Ballroom was perfect -- thanks to their expertise, excellent food and top-notch service!! Our wedding coordinator, David, went above and beyond to ensure that all the details taken care of.
We used Dubsdread Catering through our venue, The Highland Manor. The food was absolutely delicious!! All of our guests raved about their meals. Dubsdread offers a number of options (plated, buffet, various price points), and we were able to find the perfect menu! We chose the diamond menu, which offered amazing plated choices. We were so appreciative that Michelle/the catering staff were able to accommodate various dietary restrictions/needs (gluten-free, dairy-free, Kosher, vegan/vegetarian, allergies) without any issues, and that Michelle (the day of coordinator) ensured each meal got to the correct guest. Would highly recommend Dubsdread Catering!
What an amazing job Dubsdread did for our wedding. We (and all our guests) had a fabulous time and the food and service were well above and beyond our expectations (which were high). I've had more than a few people come up and tell me that it was the best wedding they had been to.....and they weren't just being polite. Shanna, Bob (our Butler), and the staff were exemplary and made the day seem effortless. They made our wedding such a lovely event. It was the wedding I had always dreamed about.
Also, I don't know who boxed up my bouquet (I'm thinking it was Shanna-our Coordinator), but thank you. When I got to the hotel and realized I had left it, I cried. It was so beautiful. Then, when my sister unloaded the car the next day and found it, I cried again, because someone had taken the time and care to box it for me. Thank you!!!!! Frank and were totally, and completely satisfied with the event (an understatement). Thank you again!!

Everything was perfect! The venue is beautiful, the staff is great, and the food is amazing. Our coordinator Emma was awesome, she kept everything together perfectly and made everything completely stress free. Our butler, Juan was very attentive and even escorted us via golf cart while getting photos. We were even offered a tasting so we could choose our menu. We highly recommend Dubsdread and Azalea Lodge!!!
Dubsdread literally made our entire wedding. We have been so incredibly impressed with Emma, and the entire team throughout our planning process, but were absolutely blown away by their superior service on our wedding day. All of our guests have not stopped talking about how amazing all of the food was (several saying it is the best they have ever had at a wedding), and their service was outstanding. Everyone was so professional, attentive, and friendly. They worked with us on last minute changes, and made our event stunning. We re so incredibly grateful to this hard working team, and will absolutely use the for future catering events!
Dubsdread Catering is the best catering company with the best venues you'll find for your big day, HANDS DOWN (and I searched from Miami to North Florida to find what we were looking for). We had initially put a deposit down for a large wedding booked a year and a half out after falling in love with the Historic Dubsdread Ballroom, but decided to reschedule for a more intimate ceremony with just close friends and family with just 6-months notice. The staff was so willing to accommodate this change and our experience was incomparable to any wedding I've been a part of. I thought there was a chance the day might feel "down-played" or like it wasn't as much of a priorty since we only had 25 guests, but that was not at all the case. David, our wedding coordinator, made my "Pinterest" dreams come true, and Bob, our personal butler, never let our drinks get empty. The venue is so reasonably priced for everything that is included, and the packages have options for everyone, no matter how big or small. Not only is the venue jaw-droppingly gorgeous, but the services included (i.e. wedding coordinator and personal butler) made the day effortlessly perfect, ensuring all of our needs and the needs of our guests were met from the initial planning meeting to the bubble send-off. The entire staff was incredibly accommodating, so kind, and demonstrated excellent communication throughout the entire process. Naturally, I find myself wishing I could relive that day a million times over, and I would choose Dubsdread every time.
Dubsdread coordinated and catered our offsite wedding and we were blown away by the presentation, service, and such delicious food. Our guests were impressed and we were so proud. Our coordinator, Emma, from the very start all the way until the last second made us feel like we were in good hands and made the process so easy and fun. The staff took such good care of my new husband and me on the day as well, helping me with my dress walking down the stairs, bringing us a plate of snacks and wine, making sure we got to eat the wonderful food and getting our guests where they needed to be for pictures and events. All the little details added up to perfection. They thought of everything. Emma and the entire team made our day so amazing and we loved working with them!
Our wedding at dubsdread was amazing! They catered to our every need!! Highly recommend
Our wedding was perfection! Our guests could not stop commenting on both the gorgeous venue, Historic Ballroom Dubsdread, and the amazing food. David was our planner and everything was seamless. It was great to enjoy our wedding and not have to worry about any details. And Bob our butler made sure a drink was always in our hands!
Our wedding at Dubsdread was perfect! We worked with them for about a year and half planning our wedding and it went so smooth! We had our wedding at the ballroom and originally we were worried we might end up with too many people to fit comfortable with a dance floor but our coordinator David showed us floor plans that would make it work. Thankfully we had a lot less people than we originally thought but David still made us feel at ease. David and the rest of the team made planning so easy and were always great with communication. The venue was also so beautiful on its own and didn't much decoration which was super helpful. The day of David made everything run smooth and kept us on schedule and all our guests had an amazing time.
Our personal butler Bob was also so lovely and attentive! He made sure we had drinks and food and that we were taken care of all night. He even helped hold my dress while I walked through the tavern to go down the aisle.
We also can't give another compliments about the food! All our appetizers and dinners were delicious and all our guests raved about it!
Thank you David and Dubsdread for a perfect wedding!
Five out of five. Can’t give enough high praise to Highland Manor and the Dubsdread Catering team. My wife and I have worked with Highland Manor for almost a year and half in preparation for our wedding. The process leading up to the wedding and the actual wedding day itself was more than we could have ever hoped for.
During the initial steps of the planning process, we got to see many beautiful venues. What separated Highland Manor from the rest, in addition to the gorgeous property, was the Dubsdread Catering team. We got the opportunity to observe the team in action at another venue early in the planning process. Their professionalism, work ethic and attention to detail confirmed that we had made the right choice. Michelle Edmiston, who became our day-of-coordinator, was friendly and professional from the start. Right away her experience and competence was apparent. Throughout the months leading up to our wedding, Michelle was there to assist in any way possible. The stress in planning a wedding was alleviated on more than one occasion with Michelle’s guidance and advice in tackling issues that arose. We didn’t even require a wedding planner with the services and assistance provided us by Michelle and Dubsdread.
One of the other perks of Highland Manor was the pricing. Pricing is very flexible. Dubsdread gives you many options that can cater to a variety of budgets. Certain times of day/week/year for the event and both food and drink options can be adjusted to fit any budget. My wife and I were very pleased with Dubsdread’s flexibility which allowed us to have the wedding we wanted with a budget that we had allotted.
The wedding day was spectacular. Planning can be strenuous and last a long time, but it was all worth it for the result. Michelle and the Dubsdread team did a phenomenal job and we’ll remember our special day at Highland Manor for the rest of our lives!
We cannot even begin to describe how amazing the staff at Dubsdread Catering was in helping us have the wedding of our dreams at Highland Manor! Michelle was with us every step of the way and we could not have asked for a better wedding coordinator! The day of staff took care of everything and made the day run so smoothly for us and our guests. Our brunch menu was a hit for everyone and we loved the mimosas. Again, thank you all again for helping us have the perfect day!
This was our 3rd year holding our Nickley Group Real Estate Advisors Holiday Client Appreciation Event at Dubsdread. There is a reason we keep returning every year to Dubsdread for our special event...Carissa & her Sales Team are so wonderful, easy & flexible to plan the event with and Carlos & his Banquet Serving Staff were AWESOME at executing it this year! We are booking next year's event already!
We couldn’t have picked a better place to have our wedding. The food and location were perfect. David was our coordinator for the day and he made everything run so smoothly and minimized the stress of wedding planning. Beyond helpful!
Our wedding coordinator David was awesome to work with as well as Jennifer. We would also like to thank Jim for all his help in making or needs met and comfortable throughout the evening and night for our wedding. Everything for our special day ran incredibly smoothly thanks to their proficiency. Would definitely return to this site for another special occasion.
The food was unbelievable. Something for everyone at the wedding! We did a buffet and everyone raved about how great the meal was. It was so tough for us to pick just a few things on the menu as everything was just so amazing. We would love to be invited to another wedding catered by Dubsdread catering to enjoy the delicious food once again.
The venue was amazing and beautiful. The staff was so responsive, kind, and made me feel like i was the only bride in the world. It was all about what we wanted and they made sure to make it all happen without a hitch. We even had our own personal butler follow us around after the ceremony with apps and drinks while we had pics done!! We never had to ask for a drink during the reception either! I could not have been happier with the service or the venue. Amazing. David and Bob were so great!!!
Attended a party last week and Dubsdread Catering was the caterer. It was fantastic. The servers and bartender were very professional and courteous. The food was delicious and every time I finished my plate someone was there in an instant to clean up. If you are holding an event either at your home or another location - Dubsdread Catering has it all.
Hands down the best catered food I have ever had! Big thank you to Shanna, David, and the Dubsdread Catering team for making my wedding the most incredible experience.
Let me start with how easy it was to book them. Shanna was always available to talk. She made sure to keep in contact throughout the planning process. She made the experience as pain free as possible especially considering I was from out of state.
Their staff went above and beyond the day of the wedding. The food was delicious, and the alcohol too! They even had a day of butler, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
If you are looking for a caterer, Dubsdread Catering is the company to book! I’ll update my post later when I receive photos from my photographer.
Thank you again for the best wedding catering ever!
Dubsdread Catering is simply AMAZING! I got married at my family's private estate and I need a full-service caterer. I contacted many different catering companies in the area and Dubsdread Catering was by far the most responsive and accommodating and just all around incredible. Jennifer, was the event specialist I met with and she was so helpful and made my wedding dreams come true. She made sure they create a customized menu that suited me and my fiance and they delivered on every level. I had a plated meal for all of my guests with Filet and Lobster and everything came out perfectly cooked and fresh for my 200 guests (which was a main concern of mine since it is hard to have 200 plates of food all served fresh) but Dubsdread Catering did it!My guests could not stop talking about the food! I had a crab cake station for my cocktail hour along with many other butler passed hor' deourves and each menu item exceeded the next. I also had a mini dessert station with the cutest desserts in shot glasses for my guest to enjoy and those were a hit as well! They also have a Mobile Catering Kitchen which they cook the food fresh onsite which was a huge selling point for me. Most catering companies I met with cook the food out of their kitchen and transport it over to the venue. Dubsdread Catering also provides a day of wedding coordinator included with their pricing who was amazing and took care of all of the day of wedding details which was a huge blessing. We also had a personal butler who was there by our side to make sure I had a glass of champagne in my hands at all time and he provided me everything I needed. I couldn't have asked for a better catering company for the most special day of my life and Dubsdread Catering exceeded all of my expectations. If you need a caterer, do yourself a favor and hire them, you will not regret it!
ABSOLUTELY THE BEST! Dubsdread Catering and the team are amazing. From the initial quote all the way to cleaning up was super easy. I met with Shanna and she never one said "no", I cannot do that. I asked for quite a few extras and we got everything I asked for and more. We had the Southwest Taco Buffet for my daughter's Rehearsal Dinner (chicken and steak fajitas, guacamole, & salsa, refried beans, rice and grilled veggies). We also had the infused water, tea, and lemonade - fantastic - AND dessert shooters which were out of this world. Shanna took care of everything, paying attention to small details. Everyone at the party asked for their card. BEST Taco Fiesta yet!! I highly recommend Dubsdread Catering!
