From Scratch Catering & Event Planning Reviews
Share your thoughts with other couples
I have never been to a wedding with such amazing food! The service was perfect! It’s funny because the wedding party and guests actually seemed surprised at how great the food was. So many times the food and service can ruin guests experience. ...
I think people expected your standard “blah” dinner and this was the exact opposite. From Scratch Catering sets the bar for what catering should be.
If I could give this place more stars than 5, I would. We recently held our wedding ceremony and reception at this venue (4/22/22). There are so many amazing to be said!
We used their catering company, From Scratch Catering. The food was pheno...
menal and people could not stop talking about it! You will leave satisfied and not needing to stop to eat on your way home. We utilized their buffet option and everything was hot and fresh upon serving. You will not be disappointed!
All in all, if I could do my wedding again, I wouldn't change a single thing.
Absolutely wonderful! From Scratch & Jeff were wonderful to work with for our wedding at The Treasury. Jeff spoke to me on many occasions, making sure that we had created an affordable, high-end, seasonal menu for our wedding guests.
The food...
at our wedding exceeded all expectations...my advice to anyone looking to work with From Scratch is just to trust them. They're really good at what they do and will deliver a delicious end product!
We used From Scratch catering at The Treasury in Pontiac, MI for our NYE wedding.
The food was delicious and the presentation and professionalism were fitting of the occasion.
Highly recommended!
Run, do not walk, to hire From Scratch Catering for your event. They have large scale catering down to some form of witchcraft... seriously. I have been to many weddings and catered events over the years, and the food is so so-This was the best...
catered food I have ever had in my life- along with all of my guests! People are still going out of their way to compliment the food, and our wedding was 2 months ago. We went the buffet route, and were not disappointed. It's beautifully displayed, hot, and fresh. The tenderloin was some of the best we've ever had. If I had to eat 1 meal for the rest of my life, it'd be my wedding dinner.
I just got married 12/03/2021 and it was the best time. Food was wonderful and I received many compliments from guests. They had wonderful vegan options as well. I truly did not want the night to end. The apps and late-night pizza were also g...
reat, and many people enjoyed. I was the bride, I wish I would have eaten more but all the guests talking to me hindered that, but the food was delicious, and they offered a huge variety.
From Scratch Catering served the most amazing food!! We hired them for our wedding at The Treasury and had so many complements on the food all night (especially the 3 cheese penne), but it was all so delicious! Their service was great, the food...
was always hot and ready on time. They got all of our guests through the buffet line so quickly and the buffet never ran out. We would highly recommend for any event!
We used From Scratch for our food and catering needs at our wedding. The whole experience was great. Jeff and Ryan made the process so easy. The team the day of was great too, it was so seamless. The food was amazing! We got compliments on the...
food from so many of our guests.
The food was incredible!!!! Jeff worked with me and my specific tastes! I love food and had a particular vision! I wanted overflowing h’orderves that made a statement, so he designed a 16 foot serpentine table full of charcuterie!
I wanted cev...
ice, and it was plated beautifully, absolutely delicious and passed around along with 3 other passed h’orderves so there was plentiful food and a constant flow!
Some specifics, I cannot personally stand food trays all about the floor, they heard my concern and we had enough servers and expediters to move the food quickly and elegantly.
They handled every special request down to my butter, in which they made it even better and more beautiful than I he imagined.
Our dinner was HOT! Imagine, at a wedding where food is often cold and tasteless! Our steak was soooo TENDER! It should not be classified as “wedding food” as that often has a bad connotation. It was hot, great quality, delicious and plated beautifully!
We had our wedding at The Treasury and used From Scratch Catering and we were not disappointed. The food was amazing. Everyone was so easy to work with and so accommodating. We loved their unique appetizer and dinner choices. Our guests still t...

We had our perfect day the the Treasury and used their catering service as well. HIGHLY recommend. The food was amazing and our guests still talk about it four months later! They had so many different options to chose from so all of our guests ...

My husband and I used From Scratch Catering for our wedding at The Treasury in June. They were suggested by our venue manager, who we trusted so it was an easy decision! We weren't sure how the food would be since it's made in a truck at the ve...
nue, but we were BLOWN AWAY at how amazing the food was! We unfortunately did not get to try our h'orderves since we missed most of cocktail hour, but all of our guests said they were wonderful! When it came to picking our main meal, Jeff worked with us to hand select each item, and build a unique plate. We chose a duet plate for everyone, and he allowed us to pick the sauce used, how it was plated, and even hand selected our veggie option from what was fresh that week! We absolutely cleaned our plates, and so did all of our guests! We had guests telling us the night of our wedding, and even weeks after how AMAZING the food was! If you're looking for delicious, unique food that's not your "typical" wedding food, pick From Scratch! Jeff was amazing and so easy to work with, and the serving staff was so prompt, polite, and professional. Food is such a huge part of a wedding, and From Scratch exceeded our expectations!
Personally, having excellent tasting food was pretty much the most important element of my wedding. I hired From Scratch to cater based on their awesome reviews that I came across online and they were so accurate! The food was insanely tasty fr...
om the hors d'oeuvre to the buffet meal. I received nothing but compliments from my guests. All of the food options were wonderful..but I specifically want to shout out the pulled bbq pork and the pretzels with cheese! So good!! Everything went smoothly and was presented timely day of. I loved that they packed up all of the leftovers for us to keep (which was a lot of food!). I worked with Ryan to get everything organized leading up to the event. He made it incredibly simple, was a quick responder and just overall nice! Definitely would use again and definitely recommend :)
I had the most spectacular wedding at The Treasury on June 5th, 2021!!!! We used the preferred/in-house caterer, From Scratch Catering. Hayley, Jeff, and their teams provided the best service and support to make our event truly perfect. Jeff wa...
s helpful and spent time walking us through all possible options, eventually landing on a great menu. While we weren't thrilled to review that there was a stipulation about the potential for market fluctuations in our contract -- which as a result of COVID, played a factor -- Jeff and Hayley worked with us and were flexible to make sure everything was accurate and reasonable. Our guests raved about our venue and all our food and drinks. We had a mojito bar which was well received by our guests, plus all other served wine, beer, and cocktails kept the party lively. All the food -- especially the beef tenderloin and passed Korean meatballs -- was prepared and served perfectly and had such great flavor and presentation! (I was busy being the bride and didn't have time to try everything -- too many things to do and people to see! :) ) The mashed potatoes and asparagus were perfect sides for our selections. The attentive and friendly service the day of our event was exactly what we were hoping for, from the servers to the bartenders. What an amazing, unforgettable day.
Jeff ended up saving us when our original caterer was no longer able to provide for our wedding. The food came out just as we asked and it was amazing! We requested a more high-end menu from our original caterer and Jeff was able to mimic the m...
enu and delivered great food and service to our guests. Highly recommend.
We used From Scratch Catering and Event Planning for our Wedding Reception at The Treasury. We had a great experience from planning, tasting and the day of our event! Perfectly executed - highly recommend!
A big hit was our food, which was catered by From Scratch Catering. We had a plated salad course and then chose to do the buffet with chicken and pesto cream sauce, beef with horseradish cream sauce, au gratin potatoes, and a 3 cheese penne. Ev...
eryone couldn’t stop talking about the food all night. It was ready on time, very hot, and delicious. The beef and horseradish cream sauce was my definite favorite. Our late night snacks were the floats, pretzels, and pizza- and everyone loved them. The floats were a massive hit. It was the cutest setup with glass mugs, all different types of pop, and even some fun liqueurs to make boozy floats. Food was a very important part of our day, and everything was amazing. The beverage packages here are truly unmatched. Any package you choose is going to be premium liquor. We also chose to add on the Bourbon Bar package because my husband is a big Whiskey aficionado. This included some special whiskeys and bourbons, the fancy sphere ice cubes, bitters, etc. People loved this- highly recommend it.
Oh my this food was so amazing, i can't wait to use them for other events. other than the venue being very beautiful the next was the food and how enjoyable it was.
Everyone loves it and wanted their number to use for future events also.
so...
flawless and so good.
Great job
Amazing! From Scratch will not disappoint! From the moment we started working with Jeff and Ryan we knew what we were going to get and it was one thing we were not willing to change about our wedding. The food is delicious, you can’t go wrong w...
ith any of it. There are so many tasty options and the packages are of great value, giving your guests a variety to choose from. We got so many compliments on the food! With From Scratch you’re not getting the traditional banquet food people say is so so, you’re getting gourmet, home cooked food. Not to mention the staff you are working with is awesome! They truly cater to your needs and are friendly and easy to work with. We couldn’t have gotten through the wedding planning during this time if it wasn’t for Jeff and Ryan being patient and flexible. The only thing my husband wished was that he got a stock of Mac n’ Cheese and potatoes for the next couple weeks!😆 Highly highly recommend!
From the beginning Jeff was helpful and thoughtful. We had a month to replan a wedding and reception. We were so thankful to find From Scratch Catering. They provided everything that was needed for the special day. The food was exceptional - al...
l the guests especially raved about the hors d’oeuvres. The bartenders and servers were skilled and friendly. The cleanup went unnoticed. A very smooth and pleasant experience.
They had the best food I have ever had at a wedding or large event! Everyone was complimenting the food and asking who the caterer was. Excellent job!!
Jeff was awesome to work with and very flexible. He was great at getting back with us on questions and also has tons of knowledge of the catering business. His food was some of the best and we had the majority of our guests raving about it
We had an amazing experience using From Scratch Catering for our daughters wedding. So many of our guests complimented on the food and service. From the first phone call we had with Jeff to the end of the wedding reception everything was per...
fect. Jeff was always there to answers any of our questions and was a hugh help to us in the planning. They have so many options to choose from and are so willing to help you in getting what you want. We can’t say enough good things about this company.
Great food and the buffet was kept hot throughout the dinner and was delicious, definitely pleased with the service!
From Scratch Catering was amazing from quality of service to the food. Our wedding plans changed 3 times this year, but when we were looking for a caterer 2 months out, Jeff was more than happy to help. He was easy to get in touch with, and ver...

From Scratch was so incredibly helpful with planning food for my wedding especially in this crazy year. I got so many compliments on how good the food was. Highly recommend!
From Scratch Catering provided excellent service and delicious food for our elegant, outdoor wedding. From the cocktails and hors d'oeuvres through the late night snack, everything was perfect. The owners and staff are very polite and the menu ...

Jeff and the team at From Scratch Catering will meet all of your wedding needs! They offered an amazing food selection, huge drink selection, and even made my husband (the world's pickiest and vegan eater) happy!

You know your food was good when all of your guests are still talking about it a month after the wedding! We couldn't be happier with From Scratch Catering. The food was delicious and kept perfectly warm for everyone. They have many options for...
different diets and everything is spot on. The food was a absolute highlight of the evening. Thank you From Scratch!!
We wanted someone different than the typical caterers in our area. So glad we went with From Scratch! The food was absolutely delicious, we got so many compliments on the meal, particularly the Mac n cheese. The staff was great to work with and...
we liked that they also have bar packages so we didn’t have to book yet another separate vendor. Very easy to work with, and we even got invited to a dinner sampling to try some of the dishes they offer. Highly recommend!!
The food was great and so was the presentation. Many compliments from attendees.
I recently went to a wedding that was catered by From Scratch Catering. I was refreshed by the amazing assortment of food that was unlike the usually food you see at weddings. I couldn’t get enough of the stuffed mushroom and jalapeño popper ap...
petizers. The main course was beautifully garnished and tasted even better than it looked! I will gladly try to book From Scratch Catering next time I host an event.
I attended a wedding catered by Just Scratch catering. It was the best food I have EVER had! The services was great, Jeff and Hayley were knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend just scratch catering for your next event!
Would 100% recommend Jeff and his team for your catered event. Ours was a wedding in Millington, MI for 205 people. The one thing we absolutely insisted on being perfect for our guests was a delectable meal. Jeff worked with us "from scratch" m...
onths earlier to choose a menu of appetizers, exquisite meal of filet and shrimp (with garlic mashed potatoes and tri-colored carrots) and executed everything beautifully. Every steak was cooked medium-rare to perfection and the shrimp was exceptional as well. Our choice of a stationary cheese/cracker/ fruit table along with four butler-passed appetizers made for an amazing cocktail hour. Jeff is the most patient and mild-mannered, business owner you'd ever want to work with, even as we went back and forth with keeping our costs within our budget.
I would absolutely recommend From Scratch to anyone who, like us, insist that their event have a delectable meal. Jeff and his team know how to execute perfection!
We had our daughter’s wedding in July. Hired From Scratch catering for our event, they were excellent! During the wedding we had left the plates and silverware unorganized, came back for the reception, it was as all set out perfectly. Could no...
t ask for better food, everyone raved about it, especially the pretzel and cheese appetizer! You can’t get better than this!
From Scratch catered my husband and I's wedding this past weekend. As we went around to thank our guest, everyone raved about how good the food was. People also raved about how good the drinks were. Jeff helped A LOT through the planning proces...
s and gave me very helpful opinions. He was very easy to get ahold of for any questions. We could not have asked for a better caterer. When they arrived, they knew what to do, and didn't have to ask any questions. It was one less thing to worry about during all the festivities! Thank you!
We used From Scratch Catering at our venue (The Treasury in Pontiac) and loved our food for our wedding!! We chose to go with a strolling dinner (highly recommend!) and our guests loved it for its interactive quality. We have received so many c...
ompliments on the food and we would have to agree, it was some of the best we’ve ever had! The best part of the strolling dinner aspect was that we got to have so much variety in styles of food (we had an Italian station, BBQ and macaroni bar station, taco truck station, and seafood station.) There was an abundance of food and the wait staff was fantastic at making sure food remained full and warm. The displays were beautiful on top of it all. We would highly recommend going with From Scratch Catering!!
Staff was prompt, food was wonderful! Great to work with!
Jeff and his team were absolutely remarkable! There are no words to express their professionalism, communication, and the overall experience of From Scratch Catering. Our number one priority was the food at our wedding. We did not want to be th...
at couple where guests later talked about how terrible the food was (we've all been there). There were so many people that made it a point to compliment us on our food choices. This was all down to the suggestions and help along the way from Jeff and his team. The food was hot, fresh, and delicious. If you want your guests to have an amazing and memorable experience, please choose From Scratch Catering. We cant thank them enough!!
We chose From Scratch Catering because it was on a preferred vendor list. It was a great recommendation. Many guests went out of their way to compliment the food quality and service! Jeff was easy to communicate with and took great care of us.
What stood out most about From Scratch was the fact that their food comes, from scratch. I was sick of local caterers who served what tasted like institutionalized food and looking for a company who was willing to put in the extra thought and e...
ffort to make a quality meal. From Scratch made that happen! Everyone at our wedding commented on how good the food was. Not only that, our family had left overs for days, that we were more than excited to eat. I would definitely recommend this company for any catered event!
From Scratch catered my daughters wedding and they were amazing. We have had so many people compliment us on the food and how professional everything was handled. Jeff was great to work with, we will definitely use them again!
The food was awesome, all of our guest raged about the food.
From Scratch made our wedding awesome. Jeff was easy to deal with use, and worked with us on what we wanted to see. We are beyond happy with them.
1 word...AMAZING!
Amazing management, amazing staff, AMAZING FOOD! We used From Scratch for our wedding and sooooo many of our guests came up to us to specifically tell us how good the food was and how it was the best food they ever had at a w...
edding. (I was specifically afraid to have “that wedding” with the nasty food lol I’ve been to those weddings, it’s terrible when it happens).
SO! If you don’t want that to happen to your next event/wedding, if you want to have the praise worthy wedding food and you want to be the couple extremely exited that you have some left overs for the honeymoon! From scratch is who you wanna call. Jeff was super informative and answered quickly every time I emailed, he was super nice and attentive and the prices are right!
Me and the new husband actually talked about having a big family get together every summer and having From Scratch cater for us. We can’t wait to enjoy their food again 😊
Jeff and his team at From Scratch Catering were top notch professionals! They were fantastic to work with and the quality of food they produced was outstanding. When looking for a caterer who takes pride in their work, call From Scratch Cater...

We used From Scratch for our rehearsal dinner and couldn’t have been happier with our decision. Our friends and family were raving about the food and we enjoyed it much more then the food we had from the banquet facility at our reception. Jeff ...

We very much enjoyed having From Scratch cater our wedding and provide cocktail hours food and bar services. Jeff and his staff were on time, courteous, and did a great job of keeping the lines moving and the food flowing. Every guest I spoke w...
ith raved about the cocktail hour food. The cucumber bites were a HUGE hit. The prime rib and herbed corn were amazing and I got so so many compliments on the Michigan Salad. Everyone was wanting the recipe for the raspberry vinaigrette. Jeff was easy to work with during the whole process. He was able to give advice on menu items since they were driving over an hour away--we picked items that would hold well. I would encourage anyone and everyone to use them for your wedding services. They were GREAT!
Jeff and his team were amazing! Food was tasty, hot and fresh. I had so many compliments from all the guests about not just food but service as well. If you are looking for a caterer in the Central Michigan area, BOOK THEM!
Jeff and his staff have knocked each event out of the park that I have used them for! The professionalism is outstanding, not to mention the quality and presentation of their delicious eats!
Jeff Jacobs with From Scratch was very professional, prompt and delivered excellent service! He was a pleasure to work with and food received many compliments. Would definitely recommend his services!
Excellent experience with From Scratch Catering & Event Planning! Hired them for my August 2018 wedding and they did not disappoint! The whole planning process was easy and fun with Jeff and his team. Some of my guests even said it was the best...

Jeff and his team did an AMAZING job catering our wedding in May 2018. I cannot thank them enough for making it so easy for us. Jeff was a joy to sit down and plan with and honestly helped steer us in the right direction. We were pretty indecis...
ive but his expertise and vast knowledge helped us make wise decisions. Our guests were talking about our food for weeks after our wedding. Cannot recommend anyone better who will honestly treat you like family from day one.
They were amazing they think of everything you would ever need. Very affordable and very easy to work with. I would highly recommend them. The food is amazing three months later and we are still being told how good the food was. Everything was ...
easy from start to finish. They have done this for a long time and it shows, they have dates set for you when you meet so that you know what to expect.
The food was excellent! The staff is professional and helpful, and the price is great- linens, dishes, dinner, and bar all included.
Jeff and his crew did an awesome job at my wedding this past weekend! They had a two and a half hour drive up to Boyne Falls, and the food was still amazing! Our guests raved about cocktail hour-especially the buffalo chicken dip and spinach ar...
tichoke dip. Dinner was a huge hit as well- his pineapple Caribbean pork was amazing and everyone loved the caramel apple salad and mashed potatoes! We had poor weather-rained most of the day, but Jeff and his crew stayed positive and kept the drinks coming all night! Thank you to Jeff for keeping the day running so smoothly.
Top 'knot'ch food quality, presentation and service! I'm a foodie and loved the food at our tastings-the best part was hearing our guests rave about the food and looking for From Scratch's card to use them for their own future events. ❤️
My husband and I had our wedding reception at the Freeland Forest Edge on October 1, 2016 and we could not have asked for a more perfect night. Jeff was very helpful in answering questions and getting things planned out and understood, Steve wa...
s fantastic at fixing a couple things for me last minute and just making sure I had nothing to worry about. I also used Robin to decorate and she helped make the room look amazing with the items I had to use. Overall, they are an EXCELLENT company and I am so glad that we picked them to host our reception, they even put out extra pickles just because they are my favorite. It was a lot of little things they did that made everything perfect! All I have heard back from family and friends was how nice the staff was, how beautiful the room looked and how everyone had an incredible time. Definitely recommend Forest Edge for your wedding reception! Thank you to you all! =)

I had my reception at The Hellenic Center in April and it was absolutely perfect! I set aside a day to look at venues in the Tri-City area and The Hellenic Center was my last appointment of the day. I knew from the first five minutes of talking...
to Jeff that The Hellenic Center was going to be the place, no other venue in the area even compared. Steve and Jeff are so nice and genuine, they truly make everything so easy. There wasn't a single thing that I felt stressed about leading up to our big day because they seriously take care of so many of the little details. We are still getting compliments on how great the food was (it was amazing!). Robin is such a sweetheart and the decorations were a beautiful addition to the flowers. The set up of the Hellenic Center is great because the dance floor is right in the middle and there is a decent sized lobby for guests to mingle if they want a quieter space. I am still in awe of how great our reception was, I highly recommend Forest Edge to all couples in the area! Thanks Steve and Scott for making sure everything went smoothly, you guys are the best!
Everything was outstanding. The price was affordable and Jeff Jacobs was phenomenal. I'll admit that I didn't know what I was doing but Jeff answered all my questions and made it a smooth process. DO NOT bring in outside catering. My wedding wa...
s two weekends ago and my guests are still going on about how amazing the food was. I'm vegan and still had plenty of food options and everything was amazing. The service staff was on point. They provided centerpiece decorating for an additional price and Robin did a very good job. I got about 26 gorgeous centerpieces for around $300. The photobooth robin provided was also a huge hit among the guests. Drinks were great and bartenders were so friendly and upbeat. I'll admit, like another person had just reviewed, that the DJ wasn't the greatest. We had about ten songs we asked to be played at some point in the night and none of them were. I went up to the DJ and requested two songs myself because none of the ones I listed were played unfortunately. The DJ was worth the $500 we paid but i wasn't overly impressed. Either way, this place was a definite 5 out of 5 stars. I would recommend Forest Edge to anyone!!
The Hellenic Center did a terrific job! Steve and Jeff are two amazing people!! They treated us like family. The food is the BEST I have ever had at a wedding. My wedding guests are still raving about it. From start to finish they were there fo...
r any questions I had. The hall is beautiful! I really cannot say one bad thing. I would recommend Hellenic to everyone. But honestly Steve and Jeff are really the ones to thank. They made the whole experience easy and stress free. Love love love it!!!!!
We used Forest Edge for our wedding last weekend and it was absolutely amazing. Jeff was a pleasure to work with. He really was on top of all the details of the day and I felt confident leaving my decorations, etc. in his hands. I thought the f...
ood was amazing and all the guests agreed. It is so nice to have food, liquor, venue all combined on one bill. The bartenders were awesome and very accommodating. The place is beautiful, especially with the uplighting going on. The inset bar makes for a perfect place for the men to hang out and talk while the ladies cut up on the very nice/large dance floor. I have nothing bad to say about Forest Edge. I would recommend them to anyone having a wedding in the tri-cities.
Our wedding was held here and it was perfect. Jeff was great to work with as was all staff. The night was flawless I would recommend to everyone food was great also.
I chose Forest Edge Banquet Center because of their close proximity to the Tri-Cities (Bay City, Saginaw, Midland) and because they took so much weight off my shoulders.
With other banquet centers, you may have to find your own bartender and a...
lcohol, buy insurance, hire security guards, hire a caterer, hire a decorator, and on and on... Forest Edge does all of that for you! They have a full, open bar option that lasts all night for one low price. They have a decorator that will provide chair covers and centerpieces and set them up for you. They have uplighting installed in the building that looks amazing. We had it go slow for dinner and then go fast to the beat of the music for dancing.
All we had to do was write the check. They are great about inviting you for food tasting and menu preparation. You can count on them to do what they say they will. If you still have questions, you can call Jeff Jacobs any time on his cell phone and he always gets back to you.
I'm definitely coming here for my next wedding (just kidding)!
