Funky's Catering and Events

y took care of everything and all I had to do the day of my wedding was get ready and enjoy myself. The table-side ordering was incredible and definitely worth the extra money. We marveled at how the owners of Funky's were serving food to my guests during my reception. There wasn't a single detail that they did not think of and I could not have had a more perfect day because of them.

r suggestions helped improve our day.

almost never the case when it comes to vegetarian options. The chef came out and talked to us even, which we so appreciated - it's always nice to be able to tell the chef in person that they did an amazing job. We had so many people say it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding afterwards.

e sure that every detail that we wanted was taken care of, and that we didn’t have to worry about a thing from the very start of the process. Would highly recommend them.

out our wedding food.

cheese bar (the gouda mac & cheese is hands down the best mac & cheese I've ever had), and their garden market station - which included salad bar, chicken, fish, veggies, and tomato soup and grilled cheese. With all the supply shortages that happened in 2021, they called me the day before the wedding to tell me that they didn't get their shipment in that they needed to make the tomato soup. However, they knew how excited I was to have that as part of the menu and they went above & beyond to find supplies to get the soup made for our wedding day! I was ecstatic!! Our guests raved all night about the quality of the food we had. They also efficiently were able to serve our ~200 guests in a timely manner. My only critique of Funky's is their communication. I am still giving them 5 stars and would recommend them despite this. 2021 was a challenging time for wedding vendors, and I am sure this played a part in why they didn't exceed my expectations in this department. On top of that, we did have some drastic last minute changes due to a change in venue from circumstances out of our control. The Funky's team did go above & beyond to assist us and adapt to the changes we had to make because of this. The team at Funky's was always incredibly nice and professional; but it often took extended periods of time for them to respond to emails and it seemed that our proposal had errors every time they would send us a revised version of it. This happened throughout the entire planning process up to the day before the wedding. Ultimately, we were able to get it sorted out without issue. Overall Funky's did an amazing job and helped us to have a perfect wedding day. Thank you Funky's team, we are very grateful for all your help!

day of coordinator who was an absolute delight and the hardest working, most incredible help from the time we rehearsed our ceremony to when we left that night. Second, their on-site manager quickly pivoted from an outdoor ceremony to an indoor one with total ease and helped me feel confident in the pivot despite being disappointed the rain was ruining my outdoor event. And most importantly, when our florist dropped the ball, the entire Funky team on site at the Pinecroft pulled off the most incredible turnaround and made sure my husband and I had the reception we dreamed about. They built arrangements, pulled out spare candles and seriously performed a miracle. I do not know what we would have done without their tremendous professionalism and skill. I'm so proud to have been married at one of their venues, and I didn't even get into all the compliments we received on our food that night. They're simply the best, and Cincinnati is beyond lucky to have them.

restrictions our guests had and special requests we had to make our menu personal to us. Jennifer helped us with event design and rentals. Carlene, our catering manager, executed our plans flawlessly. Funky's is one of the most popular caterers in Cincinnati for good reason: the food is delicious, the service is great, and the people who work there are passionate about what they do.

ugh. The staff was incredibly professional and on top of it. They know what they’re doing and are easy to rely on. They even took the time to prepare special dinner plates for me (bride) and the groom as we each wanted something a little different. Thank you Funky’s!!

Thanks Funky's Catering!

, hospitable staff, the food was incredible! The amount of compliments we received from our guests about how delicious the food was is a true testament to the quality and attention to detail their staff provided us. Thank you so much, Funky's. We love you and can't thank you enough!

was always someone there to get what I needed. I’m a control freak and so I was worried about the day of going smoothly but they managed the WHOLE process and made sure everything happened how it was supposed to. And they even helped me bustle my dress when we couldn’t figure it out, haha.

like guests. So many caterers serve a "vendors meal" of a dry PB&J and a warm can of coke, NOT Funky's. We were nothing but impressed. We heard only rave comments from the guest in regard to the food.

short rib-highly recommend!)

- especially Emily, Bobby and Ashley - are amazing to work with, and provided exceptional service throughout the entire process. They made sure that every detail was taken care of, and went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt safe and comfortable. The food was also delicious - we had many people tell us that it was the best food that they had ever had at a wedding! We would highly recommend Funky's and particularly The View to anyone. One tip: we had both our ceremony and reception at The View. While they can flip the room while keeping everyone in the main space, we had originally rented a tent for the parking lot for the cocktail hour and could not have been happier with this decision (it also gave us an outdoor space for music after dinner). Emily and the rest of the team at Funky's handled all of the arrangements for the tent rental and draping, and it turned out beautifully.

expertise while allowing us flexibility and options, which was important to us. We'd heard of other weddings where the bride and groom never actually get to eat the food, which we were definitely not going to let happen with how absolutely delicious everything was! We had 150 guests and chose passed hors d'oeuvres, 3 stations, and had a sweet treat, fruit and cheese spread as a dessert/grazing table - one month later, our friends and family are still raving about everything they ate (especially the tater tot bar)! Everything was perfectly executed, especially impressive considering our venue didn't have a kitchen and they still cooked everything fresh. Absolutely recommend!

are only getting 3 stars is because the service at our actual wedding was terrible. The food was a half hour behind schedule and when my husband and I asked our captain why we were behind schedule she blamed it on us for not being seated and then tried to recover by saying you could not rush the meals because they were individually made. Another server was very rude to one of our guest who has a gluten allergy and had a special meal requested (which they were aware of prior to the wedding) and told my guest that "she was making their jobs very difficult." Finally, despite it being written on our timeline created with Funky's prior to our wedding, our "captain" did not serve our sheet cakes to our guests. So many of our guests did not get cake and our venue contacted us the next day with 100+ servings of cake left in the refrigerator. My mom got in contact with the owner of Funky's and he was apologetic for the horrible service we got at our wedding; however I would not use Funky's catering for another event due to the bad service.

r wedding at The Pinecroft and have nothing bad to say. The food was AMAZING, the staff made the day like a breeze go by with no effort! They are prepared for literally anything, whether it is rain, or dropping your drink. They are there with an umbrella or a refill before it has even happened! I honestly can't thank the team at Funky's enough for making our wedding day absolutely perfect.

using a reception space with no kitchen - we appreciated the hard work and creativity of the team. When my husband and I arrived to the reception venue, a Funky's waiter was waiting with a celebratory drink for the two of us. Having the chance to take that moment to ourselves was really great. As dinner was served and we made our rounds to thank guests, they checked in and brought us food as needed. The food was by far one of the biggest hits of our wedding - our guests couldn't stop talking about it! Thank you Funky's - we really appreciate your part in our special day.

al and we really appreciate all their help. They not only did the catering but they helped coordinate with our lighting and rentals vendors as well as helped with day-of coordination of the ceremony, etc. It made our lives so much easier. Our guests raved about the delicious food and we were so happy with their service. Everyone on their staff was wonderful and kind to us and all our guests. We will most definitely use them again for all catering needs!

me as I stepped through learning the process and options, and even changing my mind a few times. They were very helpful in planning all the details, offering advice, and cutting to the point. They ran the day of our wedding flawlessly. The food was delicious, the bar well-stocked, the service impeccable. They asked all the right questions leading up to the big day, and executed everything as we discussed. I definitely recommend Funky's for your event!
