Iz Wedding & Events

d I booked them immediately without ever having even been in the venue. I had seen pictures online and from friends and knew it was the place. Melissa was my point of contact, and she was wonderful. She was on top of everything and helped with this nervous Mother of the Groom at every turn with a smile on her face. I met with her a month before the rehearsal dinner and she was very helpful with suggestions and I even made upgrades to the menu since the estimate was under what we had budgeted. Melissa is a very warm and caring person and is very knowledgeable about events, menus, etc. She went out of her way to accommodate us so that we could decorate earlier when we had conflicts with other events we had to attend that day. Everyone raved about the food and how lovely everything was. The two wait-staff were fantastic. They were everywhere at all times. I realized we didn't have a gift table and they got that set up in the middle of putting down salad plates before I could even turn around. The bartender was taking care of the bar and any questions that I had as well. The rehearsal ended earlier than expected and people arrived 30 minutes early. But the staff didn't blink an eye. The bar was opened early and everyone just socialized until everything was ready. The food was fantastic. Every bite I put into my mouth was delicious. The passed appetizers were a huge hit. We had fried mac-n-cheese bites, loaded potato bites, and phyllo dough wrapped sausages. Several people commented they could have just eaten the mac-n-cheese bites and been perfectly happy with just that. Our dinner was a buffet with grilled chicken, beef tenderloin, fettuccine alfredo, mixed vegetables, garden salad, and rolls. The seasoning on the grilled chicken was fantastic. The beef tenderloin was flavorful and juicy. Everyone enjoyed the fettuccine alfredo and the mixed vegetables as well. As soon as the pans were empty, they were quickly refilled. And the dessert bites set at each table were fought over!! We had strawberry cake/icing, cheesecake bites, and chocolate mousse bombs. It could not have been any better and I would not have changed a single thing. I highly recommend Iz the Place. The venue was beautiful, the food was amazing, and the staff was top notch. The price was reasonable in my opinion considering what all was included and based on other estimates I’ve seen from other venues. You won’t regret using them.

was being refilled. That made me feel so glad I chose Iz. From the first time I spoke with Kay, I could tell she knew exactly what she was doing and knew all the right questions to ask. Kay and Iz Catering are true professionals and will elevate your special event. I will definitely use Iz again for any catering needs.

d options that I had not had at any other wedding. Everyone talked about how amazing the food was. Such a great food experience! Would highly recommend.

reach out to other caterers as I was getting estimates the special request of the pink lemonade was not something that could be accommodated. Iz was more than happy to make those arrangements. On my wedding day the staff showed up the time they said they would and everything went very smoothly. I was very impressed and would highly recommend Iz Cafe for any catering needs you have in the future. I will be using them again.

s and perfect. We had tons of guests rave about the food the whole night and afterwards. Can't imagine a better caterer for our wedding day.

tmosphere you want and will go out of their way to do so. They can truly provide anything. The food tasted amazing and looked fabulous too!! The staff is always so kind and willing to help with anything, they feel like more than caterers! I would choose them again and again!

bites with balsamic syrup; butternut squash tarts with goat cheese mousse; bite-size oyster po'boys; perfectly roasted shrimp and Alabama grit cakes; a biscuit bar with barbecue pork hand pies, hot chicken biscuits and an orange-bourbon cane syrup biscuit; a beautiful noshing table for the cocktail time with smoked trout mousse on sweet potato chips, black eye pea hummus, Alabama-made sausage and amazing cheeses. They also created two signature cocktails, which were delicious. People are still talking about this food! Iz took care of all the tables and chairs and linen and serve ware rentals and brought beautiful, substantial things; we loved the large wine glasses. Also, I should note that they took very good care of the bride and groom with a private dinner during the guests' cocktail time. Finally, they had to move everything inside our venue at the last minute because of the threat of rain (Hurricane Nate), and they did so seamlessly. The new layout worked perfectly! As the mother of the bride, it was so wonderful to know that they were taking charge and making any necessary adjustments. I didn't have to worry about a single thing. Each server was friendly and helpful and didn't seem at all fazed by the last-minute changes. I knew Iz Catering would do a great job, but, really, they all exceeded my expectations. This was the most fun wedding I've ever attended ... and the most delicious!
