We used Holiday Market for both our food and our cake, so my review is broken into two parts below...
The Food: Outstanding!! I would book Holiday Market catering again in a heartbeat. We appreciated that they did not charge us for the tastin...g, and they accommodated not only my husband and I but also my parents and brother who wanted to come along and try the food. The salads were crisp and fresh, the pretzel rolls & challah rolls were delicious, and the garlic mustard potato salad that came with the Pork Loin platter also got lots of positive comments. But, the entree that got the most rave reviews at our wedding was the Pepe Chicken & Pasta - what a perfect summery, crowd-pleasing dish! I was worried that the creamy sauce might be too heavy but it was just perfect, and we had countless guests raving about it. Holiday boxed up and labeled all of our leftovers at the end of the night so that we could take the rest home. The leftovers were just as delicious in the days that followed :)
For our cocktail hour we had a combination of their beautiful appetizer platters (cheese, veggies, Mediterannean) and a few passed appetizers. When our bridal party bus arrived at the venue, Holiday sent a server to the bus with appetizers for us, which was an incredibly nice touch. The Mac & Cheese bites with tomato-bacon jam were a total hit.
For dessert, we had a combination of Holiday wedding cake (AMAZING) and homemade desserts made by our families. Holiday could not have been more accommodating, monitoring the homemade sweets as well as the cake and refilling platters as needed. In addition, they patiently served a difficult family member with specific dietary requests, and made sure to label items that were Gluten Free for a few of our guests who needed to know.
The Cake: We were able to do our cake tasting on the same day as our food tasting, which was helpful due to our limited time in town (we live out of state). The minute we tasted the chocolate cake with peanut butter mousse filling, we knew the search was over. I was very impressed by all of the flavors and fillings offered - it was hard to narrow it down to a few for tasting.
We ended up going with the Show Special cake because it was such a great value. It had very simple design options but that was fine with us, because we cared less about fancy looks and more about how delicious the cake underneath was. it was very convenient to be able to get both our cake and all of our food from the same incredible vendor, and I would recommend Holiday Market to anyone planning a wedding in the metro Detroit area.
