The food was perfect, the crew was very efficient with set up and tear down. All in all a lovely group of people to work with.
Back in 2019 we hired Dutzel’s for my daughter’s wedding and four years later people are still complimenting me on the food that was served. It was very important for my daughter to have appetizers so we got the Signature Package. The apps were so awesome many people thought they were the meal.
The communication with Dutzel’s was perfect. They exceeded everything that we expected, even working with the dessert caterer to work out a special request. Set up, serving and cleanup was quick and seamless.
Weddings are expensive but what people remember is what you fed them. I absolutely recommend Dutzel’s.
Dutzel's was the caterer for our October 2023 wedding. We had passed apps, coffee, water carafes, and a buffet meal for 150 people. We also used their plates, silverware, water goblets. The staff was professional, efficient, and attentive to all of our guests. Excellent experience from the initial tasting, menu curation, to day of execution, and clean up. Food was excellent, they were accommodating of all dietary needs, set aside special plates for the couple, and packed leftovers for us. We recommend hiring Dutzel's for any of your catering needs.
They worked well with our wedding coordinator Events by Emily.
Dutzel's catered all of the food at our wedding, from the appetizers, to the buffet, to the cake, to dessert bites, to late night snacks. Everything they made was delicious. KT was professional and easy to work with, and we loved that we were able to rent glassware through them. Highly recommend!
We chose Dutzel’s because of the high quality food options on their website, and they didn’t disappoint. We initially had some issues due to our lack of understanding on preferred vendors for our venue. However, Dutzel’s took the time to solve these issues and still provide us 5 star service. The owner himself reached out to us to figure out a new game plan that would work with both Dutzel’s and our venue. We appreciated their diligence in making our special day work.
Customer service aside, Dutzel’s food was outstanding! We enjoyed our food tasting, that they organized with special touches to make it a romantic evening. Our guests raved about the unique food and fun late night snack mac and cheese bar. I cannot recommend them enough if you want a smooth delicious wedding day!
Our wedding was catered by Dutzel's and everything was delicious. They were very professional since our first contact with them. During the tasting, we were allowed to try different appetizers, entrees, and dessert bars and ultimately decide which ones we wanted to go with for our big day. KT was a huge help in making sure everything was to our liking in the process of planning by answering any questions we had and working with us as we got closer to the day. Jeff was there on our day to serve and make sure everything went perfectly. In the end, we were able to donate leftovers to the local fire house (not that there was much left!). Overall, we loved having Dutzel's cater our wedding and would highly recommend to others!
Jeff, KT, and the rest of the Dutzel team did a great job catering our wedding reception. We hosted a cocktail styled reception with heavy hors d'oeuvres. The food was delicious, beautifully presented in buffet style, and plentiful. The team made sure that our table was always full and our guests did not go away hungry! They were awesome to work with and selected items that met our preferences and budget while also capturing the elevated taste profile we wanted! They also assisted with our linen's for the event which was considerably more cost effective and less hassle than using other linen vendors. Additionally, Dutzel catering is a gay-ally vendor which was important to us as a couple. I highly recommend Dutzel Catering!
Dutzel's Catering was perfect to work with! My wife has a serious dairy allergy and they were able to accommodate her dietary restriction seamlessly. They made her own plate to make sure that it was safe for her to eat and the servers were all so nice and accommodating.
We’d had Dutzel’s Catering at two other weddings we attended, and they came highly recommended. We attended one of their tasting events and found many delicious things on their menu! After talking with their team, we knew they would be a great asset to our wedding. Katie was so easy to work with, and so patient with us leading up to the wedding day as we finalized our guest count. Dutzel’s is professional, kind, and their prices are reasonable. We were able to rent a few additional items to round out our place settings and it was so convenient to know that this was all being taken care of by one vendor. The food on our wedding day was delicious and we got many compliments! They took care of all clean up, and packaged up the leftovers we had. We would definitely recommend Dutzel’s to anyone in need of catering!
Dutzel’s Catering did an AMAZING JOB at our wedding in March of 2022! After a little snag with our previous caterer (they tripled our price and took away everything I could eat - I’m vegan), we were scrambling to find a reliable caterer with delicious food who could provide vegan options. Our wedding planner recommended Dutzel’s, and it was one of my favorite parts of our day!
At our tasting, not only was I blown away by how delicious the food was, I was also in awe of Katie. Katie is so organized, helpful, funny, kind, and passionate about what she does. Every question I asked was met with a smile and enthusiasm and a perfect answer.
Katie did a month out call with me and it was amazing to get to walk through the food for the evening, plan exactly what I wanted the tables and buffet to look like, and know that Katie and the Dutzel’s team has our back and would make our event perfect.
On the day of the event, the Dutzel’s team did so amazing. I have heard from multiple guests that it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. Several people asked me if there was a restaurant where they could go have more! The corn was a HUGE hit and I am so excited to have a little left over. Katie personally made my husband and I huge plates of food to eat during cocktail hour, and I believe that it was because of Katie that I didn’t feel too drunk by the end of the evening because she kept me fed!
We did a late night tater tot snack, and the snack was perfectly hot and crispy, and a huge hit.
I am actively searching my brain for more events I can host so I can eat Dutzel’s food more and get to hang out with Katie again. DEFINITELY choose them if you want to have a wedding or event where guests talk about your food for weeks and months to come!
As a wedding vendor myself, I highly recommend Dutzel's Catering! They are easy to work with, affordable, and most of all, their food and service is above and beyond! 10/10
AMAZING!! Dutzel’s Catering was BY FAR the best tasting food we tried while planning our wedding. I highly suggest you attend one of their tasting events. You will get to taste several different options they have for appetizers, cocktails, main dishes, and sides. We chose Dutzel’s for our catering for our special day for a few reasons.
1. Food was Amazing
2. Price is comparable to the other catering companies we tried
3. The owner was so professional and willing to make changes to their menu to fit our needs.
4. They made the bride and groom their plate so we could actually eat. Best decision ever.
We got multiple complements on how good our food was at our wedding. The crew that was sent to our wedding were professional and quick. At one point one of our guests knocked over food all over the floor and a member of their crew saw it and immediately jumped in to clean it up.
I had a wedding planner for my wedding and gave her contact number to the company. So any questions they had the day of the wedding, I had NO WORRIES!!! I was able to just enjoy our day.
Don’t look any farther, Dutzel’s catering is the best company for your special event.
we cannot say enough amazing things about this caterer. due to covid protocol being in place our taste testing was delivered to our home with more than enough food to spare for a couple dinners. Katie was amazing to work with and everyone was incredibly responsive and attentive to our questions. the food was spectacular and the staff amazing to work with day of, even with quick last minute changes to our time-line, as we somehow ended up ahead of schedule. everything was absolutely perfect! we cannot thank them and their staff enough for everything
What an amazing job these guys did for our wedding. I (the bride) have a very strict diet due to health issues and they didn’t hesitate to make me a separate meal for only myself! We had an incredible experience choosing Dutzel’s Catering and the food was phenomenal. Thanks for making our wedding amazing!
We discovered Dutzel’s through the KCPWG wedding convention. We had a tasting with Dutzel’s (highly recommend doing a tasting!) and we tried their buffalo tortellini, pasta, and BBQ, and immediately knew they had to be our catering vendor! :-) Everything we tried was delicious, but the buffalo tortellini was the best!
Katie, with Dutzel’s, was highly communicative, helpful, and kind! Our final vendor meeting with her was so smooth! We were very impressed with the level of service and professionalism they provided to us and our guests during the wedding! The Italian buffet we went with was scrumptious! We are so thankful we went with Dutzel’s as our catering vendor! We highly recommend them!
Dutzel's was fantastic to have catered our wedding. The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. Katie and Jeff were so great to work with and made the menu planning process so simple for us. Jeff even brought the food all the way to our home for our taste testing. Katie made sure every detail was covered. I would definitely recommend Dutzel's for any event.
We used Dutzel's for our wedding and could not have been more pleased. The food was amazing and our guests loved it! Jeff and Katie were great to work with. They provided many options during our tasting....and it was hard to choose because it was all so good! This man knows how to cook! I would highly recommend them for any event you have, you will not be disappointed!
Dutzel Catering was absolutely amazing for our wedding. We had guests coming up to us all night telling us how amazing the food was. Jeff is absolutely amazing and we are so lucky to have had him for our big day. He was incredibly patient and kind. Even did 2 tastings for us and for our parents. Man has a heart of gold and knows how to cook!! We enjoyed the Toasted Ravioli, BBQ Meatballs, Roasted Herb Chicken, Smoked Brisket, Oven Roasted Vegetables, Loaded Mashed Potatoes, and the Spinach & Artichoke Cheese Tortellini. Let me tell you, everything tasted absolutely amazing. Mouth-watering. INCREDIBLE. Not only was the food straight-up to-die-for. Jeff and his team are absolutely amazing to work with. So thoughtful, kind and caring. Please book Dutzel for literally any of your events - you won’t regret it!
Highly recommend hiring Jeff!! Communicating with him was so easy and was great to work with. For our taste testing he was able to bring the food to our home since it was during the covid shutdown. He and his staff were on time and very professional. The food was absolutely delicious and all of our guests loved it. The staff working was also amazing.
Everything ran smoothly from tasting to reception. They were on time, helpful, set up and tore down quickly and efficiently, and the food was amazing. Even went out of their way to help accommodate guest with specific dietary requirements.
Covid pandemic presented many challenges, adjustments, and emotions while planning our son’s wedding rehearsal dinner. Once I connected with the right caterer, Dutzel’s, I knew we — and more importantly our guests — would be impressed and pleased.
While navigating dietary restrictions, menu flexibility, guests ranging from toddlers to seniors, everyone commented on how wonderful the food was, the service, and the staff! Do yourself a favor and call Dutzel’s Catering. Jeff and his staff won’t disappoint.
So many positive things to say about Dutzel's. You will not be disappointed. Their communication throughout was amazing. Their pricing and food quality can't be beat. We would hire them again in a heartbeat!
Dutzel’s Catering did an excellent job for us! We used their services for a brunch buffet for our wedding party and family and then a pasta dinner buffet for guests and everyone who attended our son and daughter-in-law’s wedding on Friday, October 9th. Both buffets were served on the same day, same location but with several hours in between. Jeff Dutzel was always easy to work with, responsive to all questions and/or providing additional information throughout the months of planning. Very professional always. Food was delivered and set up on time, quickly and without intruding on wedding details going on around them. Guests were pleased with the food. My husband and I were pleased with food and service. More importantly, the bride and groom were well pleased. They also provided staff to cut and serve the cake at the appropriate time. All services were well done by a courteous and helpful staff. After speaking with other local caterers and attending tastings, we are certain we made the best choice by booking Dutzel’s. Jeff met all our needs.
I would highly recommend Dutzel’s Catering for all your catering needs, both big and small! Great service and great pricing. You won’t regret it!
Food was exceptional! We had to switch things around a bit due to COVID but Jeff and his team rocked it. We had individual charcuterie boxes for during our happy hour and then bbq for dinner. Literally to die for, I would highly recommend checking them out!
Dutzel's more than impressed us and our guests! The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. Jeff was great to work with and made the menu planning process so easy. There were so many different choices for food and add on options at a very reasonable price, it made it hard to decide on what we wanted! I would definitely recommend Dutzel's for any event.
We were very impressed with the level of service and quality of food we received. After a few hiccups (to no fault of their own), everything was fantastic and we’ve received so many compliments on the food! Great quality and a fantastic price point!
We met Jeff Dutzel twice at Bridal shows my fiancé and I went to. We decided to schedule a private tasting with him later and ultimately booked for our August wedding.
We couldn’t have been happier with the quality of food at a fair price, and Jeff’s communication with Us. He was accommodating and a pleasure to work with. Our guests were raving about the food all night and I still get asked about it today.
We had a wonderful vendor team for our day. Dutzels Catering did not disappoint. Highly recommend.
We recently used Dutzel's Catering for our wedding and absolutely recommend them! Jeff met with us in person, answered questions, provided many options, and helped us find the right options that worked for us and our budget. He was super flexible with us as we made adjustments and emergency changes in the weeks leading up to the wedding. At the event, he and his crew were able to handle everything, and even personally checked on us to make sure we were having a good time and that we got to eat between all the other little things the bride and groom do during the reception! A+ Service from day one up through the reception.
I was BLOWN AWAY by dutzels. So many delicious Choices, and reasonably priced and amazing service. My wedding wouldn’t have gone as smoothly without the amazing catering and service they provided. Thank you Jeff and team.
DUTZEL'S IS AMAZING!! I have never been sadder than when realizing we didn't have any leftover mac & cheese! All our guests loved our food and are still talking about it, and Dutzel's was insanely affordable. I'm recommending it to everyone I know!
Jeff was great to work with. We used Dutzel as our wedding caterer. We had a private tasting with Jeff and everything was so tasty, it was difficult to make a choice. Great price point and great service. Everyone at the wedding loved the food. Highly recommend!
We hired Jeff for our May wedding and he did not disappoint. Our guests still rave about the teriyaki meatballs and the pork loin he cooked. We bought the signature package which had two main dishes, three sides and four items for the Hors d’oeuvres. He was very punctual, friendly and reasonably priced. He also was very attentive to allergies that were provided. He helped make our day very memorable and I couldn’t imagine hiring anyone more perfect for the job. We had plenty of leftovers as well so we were able to enjoy for several days afterwards.
We used Dutzel's Catering for our wedding. The food was delicious, the service was great & the price was very reasonable! I wouldn't hestitate to use them again in the future!
