Laniers Catering

Joy, her kitchen, and wait staff cooked and served the food for my wedding reception. Everything was excellent, from the food to the presentation to the wait staff service and their timely attention to guests. I especially enjoyed Joy’s professionalism and personality and could really see the passion she has for catering. She tended to my every need and made the catering part of my special day a smooth and uninterrupted process. I would definitely recommend this vendor to others and would hire them again for other events of mine.

Very fast response times when you need anything! Reasonable prices too

Our group scheduled Joy and her team to cater our banquet. Food was delicious. Waitstaff were professional and responsive to our group. Joy was able to create special items for vegetarian and non gluten members. Wonderful experience and highly recommend!!

Awesome, great, professional people. They bring joy to the party. Thank you guys for everything. You gotta try them for yourself. You wont be disappointed.

I want to start with saying how grateful and pleased I was with choosing Laniers Catering! I had received so many wonderful comments that the food was delicious!! I had chosen Two choices of entrees: Steak and Chicken Cordon Bleu with Alfredo Sauce over it and sides of Mashed potatoes & steamed vegetables. Before getting married many previous brides had told me was that the food was what they least remember either because they were too busy, too nervous to eat or too busy greeting their guests that they don’t remember how their food tasted... but not me! I made sure I had a taste of both plates and I could not get enough of it! To top it all off Joy added the small requests that I had requested on our food and that put a smile on our faces when we were first served ☺️ I can not thank you enough for the wonderful food. THANK YOU!

Covid ruined our original wedding plans, so I had to completely change our plans last minute. I found Laniers online and Joy was extremely helpful and responsive. Our wedding was supposed to be in Hawaii, so we wanted Hawaiian type foods and Joy had a wonderful selection to choose from. The food was amazing! So much flavor, great portions, and the price was unbeatable when comparing to other caterers. On the day of our event, they showed up on time and with no issues. I would definitely use them again for an event.

Laniers’s did an excellent job catering my wedding. Joy was always a great help and bent over backwards to ensure a great experience for us. Even our wedding venue owner gave her tons of compliments as well. The food was great! All of our guests enjoyed it. I was very pleased overall. Thanks again Laniers! I highly recommend them.

It was awesome to do business with Joy. The food is delicious and neat.

Our wedding was in January and I feel like everything was perfect especially with the catering. Laniers was very affordable and it tasted like quality gourmet food. Joy made sure our dishes were seasoned the way we wanted them. She made thoughtful suggestions to help us create a memorable meal as well as stretch our dollar as much as we could. We opted for using glassware and it really was not that expensive for the elegant look that it presented. Joy offered other services to us just because we had built a working relationship. She is exactly what her name says..”Joy”. She always had a big smile on her face. The food was really the talk of our reception. Thank you Laniers 😁

Do not hire this vendor if you want a smooth event! Joy (the owner/executive chef) ruined my wedding day. She is a sweet talker but did not deliver a single thing she promised me. She arrived at the wedding 1 hr late. She didn't start serving the main entree until 25 mins after the scheduled time (timeline was given a week before, the night before, and right after she arrived at the venue). An hour into the reception, I noticed a lot of people are still waiting for their food and then Joy came up to me saying that my wedding coordinator didn't tell her to start plating so she didn't start. It is common sense to start plating well before the schedule serving time. My coordinator had to help delivering food. Joy's 7 servers were so untrained. They never worked with her before. And one of the servers told us that Joy's work is a mess. My family (dad and brother) kept checking what's going on in the kitchen. After 1.5 hours into the reception, I was getting impatient so I(the bride) and the groom walked into the kitchen to check on the situation. I saw that the caterer didn't bring any food warmer. When I went in there, I saw aluminum trays of beef and she was cooking something in a small electric pan. Why is still cooking food 1.5 hrs into the event? The food are supposed to arrive ready to serve at the venue in food warmers. I saw no food warmers. Her operation is so not professional. She would tell you the event will run smoothly and she will deliver. But she did not deliver a single thing she promised. She is a sweet talker. BEWARE! The food came out cold. A lot of guests complained of cold food. And halfway into the reception she ran out of fish and chicken, when I already emailed her the meal count 2 weeks in advance before she ordered all the stuff. My guests were not getting the food they RSVP'd for. Half of my guests had to wait for 2 hours for food to be delivered. And the food was cold and lacking several items. Original contract that we signed 9 months before the wedding is for 275 people so she has 9 months to figure out how much food she needs to cook and deliver. If she could not handle my party size (275) she should have told me since the beginning. But she kept telling me she will execute everything perfectly and beautifully. Now I'm gonna always remember this disastrous moment at my wedding. I've been planning this wedding for 10 months. And my biggest mistake was to hire her. I really regret hiring her. Please ignore the knot's award because that does not show the quality of the vendors.

The staff was on time and the food was wonderful!
