We used McHales catering for our event coordination, dinner, bar, and late night snack. They were amazingly organized and the staff was great. We've heard so many good compliments about how good the food was and they had a great setup for their tasting dinner as well. Highly recommend!!
Tessie and her team were so wonderful helping us plan our ceremony at Starlit Sanctuary. It was the perfect place to hold a beautiful wedding in a beautiful church, but make it our own. Cannot beat the location either!
We used McHale's for our both our food and wedding cake. They were very organized in getting a tasting scheduled so we knew our options, and were super accommodating toward food allergies and dietary restrictions. We got a lot of compliments on the food after the wedding.
Perfect wedding catering experience from start to finish. Megan took excellent care of us walking through options and preparing our package. My grandma ended up passing away suddenly the day of our tasting, and the team went as far as boxing up large portions of every dish to take home. Day of, the staff were friendly and professional, and got absolutely everything right. Couldn’t believe the food quality given the quantities they needed to prepare. We are huge proponents of the stations menu!
McHale’s catered our wedding and it was awesome! The food was delicious. We did OTR stations, a very Cincinnati menu, and it was a crowd pleaser. Not only did we love it but our guests couldn’t stop raving about our menu. The company was a joy to work with and they made everything so easy for us. Very professional, timely and accommodating. We highly recommend them for your event!
We had our wedding at The Center on March 4, 2023. Everything from beginning to end was so well organized. Lindsay was our event planner and she was very friendly, professional and answered any questions we had along the way very promptly. She was so easy to work with! On the day of the event, everything was organized and ready to go. They have a great system and the staff was very friendly. The night flowed smoothly and we could not have asked for a better wedding venue. The food was great and we are so glad we went with a venue that provided the food as well since it was one less thing to plan. We would recommend them again to anyone!
My fiance and I hired McHales to cater our big day and we all know the food is a main remembrance point of the reception. Let me break it down for all of you so that you understand what you're getting if you decide to go with McHales for important events.
Our venue did not have a kitchen. A normal person would think that the food would end up being soggy and room temperature from preparation and traveling right? Wrong. The food came out fresh, warm, and decidedly not soggy. We chose to go the station route with 3 different food choices thinking that people would be able to better avoid foods they weren't interested in. We were not prepared for the fact that all 3 stations were absolutely fantastic.
While our guests were filling their plates with what we assumed was "average catering food", the McHales staff were doting on our (Bride & Groom) every need. Phyllis, the Manager for our event, introduced herself to us and came across as very pleasant and benign. Plates of food would magically appear at our table and empty ware would vanish when our backs were turned. I was very impressed with her (and her team's) service.
The food we were being served wasn't the "average catering food" I mentioned earlier. It. Was. Phenomenal. I swear that I could sense the aura of hubris emanating from the food. The self-righteous confidence was palpable in the air. My fiance and I could feel it in our stomachs, nay, we could feel it in the depths of our soul. The attention and affection that we expected from our guests was no more. The recognition was instead being directed towards the inanimate objects of sustenance that were simply there to fuel the dance moves for the night. Instead of getting photos with the bride, our guests were 'instagramming' their pasta & shrimp.
Phyllis catered to our every need. Not even a glint of fraud was detected from her throughout the entire night. McHale's took the most important night of our lives and usurped it with delicious food.
Could not have been happier with McHale's during our wedding planning process. Not only were they so responsive throughout the whole process but so helpful every step of the way. Would recommend this company to anyone asking!
We had McHale's Catering at our wedding at the Grand Ballroom and the food was absolutely delicious! Everyone enjoyed the food and was still talking about it weeks later! We also had quite a few dietary restrictions in our group and they were great about coming up with great quality options for each and every guest.
We chose McHale’s for our wedding at Drees Pavilion. The two often work together which made the evening flow so nicely. The food was delicious and the staff was unbelievably helpful. Would recommend McHale’s catering to all!
Mchale’s did such a great job on our wedding at Rhinegeist! The food was perfect and the staff was incredibly polite and helpful. Their event coordinators did such a great job helping us drivers everything with covid and is needing to reschedule! Couldn’t have gone better!
Mchales catered our wedding last night at Drees and everyone was amazed how delicious our food was! The staff were so nice and professional and they truly went above and beyond! It was delicious!
We loved working with McHale's! We needed to push back our reception because of COVID, and Lindsay (our coordinator) made it all so easy and stress free.
Day of the wedding - not only was the food great, but the service was incredible! We had so many guests the next day comment to us how helpful and nice the staff was. We (guests as well) were all so impressed with McHale's!
Highly recommend!! Our wedding theme was travel, and their team helped really bring this to life with three Int'l stations (Latin, Indian, and BBQ). We had several guests with food allergies or who were vegetarian or vegan and the team was super accommodating and made sure our guests knew what was in each dish and had substitutes available where needed. I have to give huge props to their staff! During the wedding, they would continually come by and ask my husband and I if we needed any drinks or food refills. the staff was so sweet, kind, and generally so great to work with!
My fiance and I booked The Center for our reception. Based on that, we had five different catering companies to choose from. Because we live in the Northern Kentucky/Cincinnati region, we have worked with McHales before. As I look back, I regret my decision of choosing McHales and wish I would have gone with someone else. McHales is reasonably priced (for a wedding caterer) and the food was pretty good. However, the service was lacking. I provided the caterer with a day of timeline to manage when people needed to get their salads, when they were going to start going through the food line, etc. We were given a day of catering manager who was supposed to keep everything on schedule, but during the event, she was almost no where to be found (we had to hunt her down several times). My husband and I were supposed to be introduced at 7:25 and when we came in the building, everyone was still mingling. One of our ushers and the grooms dad had to make sure everyone got to their seats, without any help from the catering team! During the dinner portion of the event, my family and I had to hunt everyone down in order for people to start being served food (including for our vendors!) I don't feel like this was great service when the bride is trying to make sure everyone eats. Because of this mess up, our speeches were delayed by almost an hour, which caused us to lose 45 minutes of listening to a band we paid a lot of money for. After looking back on my wedding, this is the biggest piece I would have done differently. If you are having a wedding, I would not recommend McHales as a caterer.
I cannot recommend McHales enough! We got married at The Center in August 22nd and it was perfect! McHales owns the venue and did our catering as well. The food was great and we got tons of compliments on it from our guests. Their wait staff was so friendly and helpful and the bartenders were fantastic as well! We got lots of comments from our guests about how great McHales staff was. The venue was absolutely beautiful and even with all of the uncertainty that came with having a wedding during a pandemic McHales somehow still managed to help us pull off our dream wedding! I cannot thank them enough for helping make our day so perfect!
We had our reception at the Cincinnati Club, and it was by far the most beautiful building I'd ever seen! Set in an old 1920's gentlemen's club, that classic feel really shines through. McHale's (specifically, Brittney Lyons) was so helpful throughout the entire planning process - ESPECIALLY when learning of and working around new restrictions due to the pandemic. McHale's ensured a beautiful, seamless and SAFE reception! During these uncertain times, it was so incredible to have this company supporting us throughout the ever-changing environment. Thank you, McHale's for a wonderful wedding day!
McHale's Events and Catering has beautiful, unique venues that will wow your guests, impressive and delicious food options, and outstanding service to ensure your wedding goes just the way you want it. Highly recommend!
McHale's was great to communicate with and the food was spectacular! So professional and yummy!
We had our reception at the Grand Ballroom in Covington. The venue was beautiful and perfect for our special night. Working with Jen was so easy and I really appreciated her quick responses to all emails and phone calls. Leading up to our wedding, Jeremy was so helpful, knowledgeable , and had great suggestions when setting up our decorations. All night, myself and my husband were made a priority and staff always made sure we had fresh drinks in our hands. Everyone was so friendly and the whole night went smoothly. McHales truly took care of everything we could have thought of (and then some!).
And I can’t forget to mention how great the food was! Thank you McHales for making sure our reception smoothly and beautifully!
We chose McHale's based on the recommendation of our reception venue. We wanted traditional comfort food and McHale's delivered. Everyone was fantastic to work with, from our original representative, Courtney, her replacement, Julia, and all of the service staff, led by Phyllis. My husband says he needs a Phyllis at home all the time.... We enjoyed going to their kitchen to taste the plethora of meal options, even down to the salads. The staff was helpful with suggestions and pairings. On the day of the wedding, the staff made sure that everyone's meals and dietary restrictions were accommodated for. We loved that we were able to incorporate a Graeter's ice cream sundae bar into the reception and the premium bar offerings. At the end of the night, the staff made sure that we were able to eat whatever ice cream flavor we had asked be kept aside for ourselves and packaged up the remaining meals for us to decide whether to keep for ourselves or give to the band or other staff.
All of our food, alcohol, and cake for our wedding was delicious and our guest all enjoyed it. There was something for everyone and they really looked out for any special diety needs. I liked how they did the group tastings to prepare for our wedding.
Our reception was held at The Grand in Covington. It was absolutely perfect! The service was outstanding and everyone thought the food was amazing! Great ambiance and venue! I would highly recommend the venue because of location but also because of the service! They made sure everything was done just the way you want it! They went above and beyond... perfectly done!
We were truly amazed at the level of service provided and quality of the menu. Brent and Julia were the ones who helped us throughout the planning process. They created countless proposals as we were making decisions and provided recommendations based on our preferences. The night of the reception, not one of our 250 guests waited for a drink or their plate! We are still getting compliments on how fast the service was, how wonderful the food was and how pleasant the bartenders were in the guest interraction. Several have even said "best wedding food I've ever had!" and we can't agree more.
If you are thinking about McHale's, don't hesitate in booking! They offer plenty of options based on budget and preferences, while also providing excellent service.
We had McHales cater our wedding at Rhinegeist in June. Everything was amazing! The food was great and the service was spectacular. My only tip would be to get real silverware if you plan on serving the beef at your event! We had a couple of plastic silverware break when guests were eating the beef. If that was the only bad thing that happened on our wedding day then we were in great shape! McHales ensured that we had everything we needed and our event planner Julia was so helpful as well!
Food was delicious and service was great! We used McHale's for our wedding dinner and cake at the Grand Ballroom in Covington.
We cannot thank Lindsay and the McHale's staff enough for everything they have done throughout the wedding planning process and even the night of. The compliments we got on the service and food were amazing. Everyone, including ourselves, had an amazing time! It was a phenomenal evening!
Lindsay was incredibly responsive and gave such great advice and feedback anytime I had any questions. We even had a few dietary restrictions and McHale's was so accommodating to those needs and everyone talked about how great the food and presentation was. We even got some to go boxes of some of the leftover food which was a great midnight snack when we got back to our hotel.
We had such a great time and we really can't thank McHale's enough for making our night a little more special!
We worked with Mchales for our food and they were fantastic! we worked with Lindsay for the pre-wedding items and she was phenomenal. She did a great job of providing all of our options and was very responsive. I had multiple guests talk about how great the food and service was the night of. thank you so much Mchales for making the day run smoothly!
McHale's catered my wedding reception at Drees Pavilion and everything was absolutely wonderful. The food was all delicious and the service was top notch. Courtney was very easy to work with and helpful throughout the planning process and my husband and our families were very happy with the outcome!
Highly recommend McHale's as a wedding caterer! The staff (I worked with Lindsey as my pre-wedding coordinator from McHale's and she was so responsive, knowledgeable and sweet throughout the planning process) is all so friendly and organized, and the service on the night of our wedding was absolutely outstanding. Most importantly... their food was amazing. We received so many compliments from our guests that our food was "Actually really really good" (as in not just "good for mass catering / typical wedding food standards"). They have a few unique and fun menu items and were very flexible with me when creating a menu that was a mixture of traditional and non traditional wedding food. Definitely a 6 out of 5 star vendor!
Our wedding was at the Contemporary Arts Center in downtown Cincinnati on 10/06/2018. McHale's did a phenomenal job catering our event. We had a plated dinner and the food was delicious, and the portion sizes were excellent. Lindsay was our event coordinator, and she was wonderful to work with; always quick to respond to any questions we had, and able to adapt to our requests and the needs of the venue. It was an off-site location for them, but the day could not have gone off more seamlessly. The catering staff were all very friendly and professional, and our whole evening flowed smoothly. McHale's also provided a very easy to understand breakdown of our quote and final bill, and I never felt like I was being nickel and dimed for every extra toothpick or napkin. I was impressed with everything from the quality of the food to the ease of coordination, and the professionalism of the staff. I would highly recommend McHale's!
We got married at the Gardens of Park Hills Arbor room. Mchales from the start made the whole planning process a breeze. They include so much in what you are paying it is amazing. Food was delicious. Venue gorgeous. And they cleaned everything up and packed everything up for us and we didn’t even have to worry about it!
Our wedding was 9/15/18 at The Center. McHale's did a phenomenal job from start to finish. I worked with Lindsay Morris during the planning process. Lindsay was so attentive and very quick to respond to emails and phone calls. She is such a genuine and kind-hearted person that sincerely cares about the success and happiness of her clients' wedding day. We live in Lexington so I was initially concerned about the planning process being over an hour away. Lindsay and McHale's were beyond flexible with us which made the planning process stress free. They catered to each of our requests including adding vegan meals for a few of our guests. Our guests had such great things to say about the food and their service. The food was excellent. They thought of everything including boxing up myself and my husband food for our hotel room as well as wedding cake. We were so very pleased with the staff the day of our wedding as well. Everything went smoothly and most importantly the staff was a dream to work with. I highly recommend McHale's for any event.
McHale’s catered our wedding at The Center and had excellent service! They met all of my requests, even as simple as providing my request for grenadine and following signature drink recipes I had made for our wedding to add a touch of personalization! The food was so delicious and I heard nothing but good things about how good it was from our guests! In addition, I had requested to go boxes for my husband and me in case we didn’t eat much at the reception (which we didn’t!) and they boxed up two complete meals with cute little messages on the kids congratulating us, had two sets of plasticware, two bottles of water, and two boxes with all of our varieties of cake for us to take home! The staff was excellent and made sure everyone was taken care of! Definitely recommend them!
We had our wedding reception at the pinnacle ballroom and it was perfect. The space is beautiful, our guests loved the food, and staff were nice and easy to work with. Everything ran perfect and they exceeded our expectations.
We had our wedding at The Grand in Covington on 3/10/18. Our venue planner was Brent Baker, and she was absolutely amazing to work with!! During the entire planning process she was very attentive to all of my emails, and reassuring of any concerns or questions I had. We loved working with her. Our wedding day went perfect, thanks to the staff at The Grand. They took care of every little detail, so we wouldn’t have to do anything besides celebrate our marriage. They kept reassuring us it was our day and we should enjoy it. The staff was so helpful and friendly, and he food was so good. They packed up pans of left overs for us, and even had two late night meals for my husband and I at the end of the night. Our family was fighting over who got to take the left overs home, because we left for our honeymoon the next day lol. Over all working with McHales was the best wedding vendor decision we made! Highly recommend having your event at one of their venues!
McHales definitely has great customer service when they're gunning for the sale. After that, they're pretty much MIA unless you hound them. I was not please with their tasting so we went with another restaurant for food, and ordered our cake from McHales to meet the minimum purchase. It was stale and overpriced. What more, is no food was prepared by McHales but they insisted we pay for a chef onsite even though they told us we didn't need one until the last minute. On top of this, our wedding happened during a huge winter storm and 30 to 40 of our guests could not make it due to flight cancellations but McHales still charged us the fee per headfor our original guest count (which I guess is fair considering the contract, but not good customer service). I would not recommend McHales.
Brittany at McHale's was wonderful to work with, she was extremely professional and responsive. Being one of the 3 catering options for Drees Pavilion, they worked closely together to make sure everything go smoothly. They were even flexible enough to let us add a Pho Station (as the bride was Vietnamese) to their buffet menu - and it was a big hit with the line wrapped around the ballroom!
McHale's exceeded all expectations for our big day, and we couldn’t have been more pleased with choosing them as our caterer. We came to McHale's with two very specific requests: to have a salad that mirrored that of Jeff Ruby's iconic " Freddy Salad", and to have a boneless fried chicken entree that was like Chef Wylie's Fried Chicken from the restaurant Trio…McHale’s nailed both of these requests.
The whole staff, especially Jen, was outstanding to work with. Dozens of our guests provided compliments to us on the service, quality of food and overall positive experience they had with McHale’s at our Wedding Reception. Picking the right caterer was a primary focus for my Husband and I, and we can say without hesitation that McHale’s absolutely hit a homerun.
Beautiful venue amazing customer service the food was great they helped out so much and made my wedding beautiful
Everything about our dinner with McHale's was perfect. Jenn was great to work with and the food was spectacular. Many of our guests commented on how good the dinner was for being a buffet-style. Their coordinator the night of our wedding completely took charge of some of the nuances that we hadn't thought about, which were not expecting but it made the night even that much more enjoyable. Could not recommend McHales enough!
Jenn was great to work with, she knew exactly what to do and how to do things. The food was amazing and I could of ate the left overs for 2 weeks if I had to. The vegetable pasta was to die for and the apple topping for the pork was a great combination. Thank you for making our day wonderful!
The food was outstanding! Our buffet style dinner was perfect for our guest count and it was all delicious. Everything was run so smoothly at our reception and we couldn't have asked for a better experience.
From the food tasting to the evening of our big day, they were so professional to work with and always made sure to specially cater to our needs, we really felt like celebrity's! Their food is absolutely delicious and we've been getting complimented on it since!! I am so happy we chose them!
We are so glad we went with McHale's for our wedding! Everything went perfectly that day and our guests cannot stop telling us how delicious the food was! They have raved about the hand carved top round of beef and the vegetable rotini!
The staff were also amazing and made sure that everyone was taken care of!
They did a great job for our wedding! So happy we had our wedding at one of their event centers!
We had the most wonderful experience with McHales catering and would definitely book them again! The food was delicious on the wedding day - we received so many compliments from guests. We worked with Jen throughout the planning process who was so incredibly nice and easy to work with. She incorporated things into our package to customize it, but still kept our budget in mind which we appreciated. Laura was in charge day-of and things ran so smoothly I almost couldn't believe it. Everyone was incredibly nice to myself , my husband and our families. They were so attentive to us throughout the evening. Super helpful with packing up at the end of the night too! I would recommend them 100%!!
Went above and beyond and made everything about our special day so memorable. What a truly, amazing experience!
There are no words to describe how much McHale's did for us! From the very first meeting with our planner, we knew we wanted to do our reception with them. They set up and took down all decorations, exceeded our service expectations at the reception, and became like family. I never had a question unanswered, or a request not completed. They made for a stress free event on myself, my husband, and our parents. So thankful!
McHale's was amazing! Jen was so helpful and made the whole process super easy, which was really a blessing during a stressful time. The food was delicious and the entire staff was so friendly and attentive. We received so many compliments from our guests!! I didn't have to think about a single thing during our reception...it was all flawless. McHale's truly made our wedding spectacular!
Our wedding was October 9th 2016! And it was amazing. Nancy did such a fantastic job with the decor. She really made our vision come true. The food was delicious and the staff were so friendly, so nice and so accommodating. I love how they offered great planning tools, and vendor suggestions throughout the planning process. I could go on and on about the service we received the night of the wedding. It was truly memorable. Great people, great place. Thank you Mchales
We had only one mishap, and the staff corrected it efficiently. So no complaints.
We used McHales at our wedding in October 2016 and they were amazing! Our contact was very responsive to questions and changes and I felt at ease during the planning process. I've been to several weddings catered by them and the food was always delicious, and our food did not disappoint! They did a great job at sticking to our timeline and I had no complaints about the bar service (I was initially concerned 2 bartenders wouldn't be enough to serve guests at an open bar) however they kept up and kept things running smoothly! The manager, Jeremy, was very attentive to me all night making sure I had everything I wanted and made sure my glass was never empty! I also appreciated that they lacked my fiancé and I a full meal to-go box, which we promptly ate as soon as we got to the hotel room after the wedding. I would highly recommend them!
Our reception was in the Vista Room at the Gardens of Park Hills. Everyone bragged about the food. Our banquet manager was on the ball and did a fabulous job. It was a nice space and looked beautiful.
We used McHale's off-site catering, and had an amazing experience! From the get-go, Jen, our event coordinator was friendly and helpful, and she walked us through all of the details. The pricing was great, as was the value for your money. The food was amazing, and we got so many compliments!! We got to keep the leftovers, and they didn't charge a cake cutting fee. We would use them again in a heartbeat for our next big event!
Thank you so much McHales for providing excellent service and food for the wedding. We selected McHales based on affordability and quality service and they delivered. Our sales contact, Brittany was very helpful and answered all of my inane questions. The tasting was great, we weren't able to attend the buffet style tasting event but did a chefs table that was great. We only tasted about half the entree options but were able to pick what we wanted from that. The meat was cooked very well- no rubber chicken or dried out pork. Day of our captain Tiffany made sure we had everything we needed and dinner service was very efficient. We were able to get to dancing in a very timely manner. Thanks for helping make our day special!
McHales was a great choice for our wedding. Our coordinator, Jen, worked tirelessly to make sure that all of our questions were answered promptly during the planning process. She made everything so easy! The staff at the reception was absolutely phenomenal!! Everything was flawless and they even made sure that my lovely bridesmaids got extra jalapeño poppers! At the end of the night they sent my husband and I off with boxed meals in case we didn't get a chance to eat very much at the reception-so thoughtful! We also used McHale's for our cake and it was delicious and looked even more beautiful than the pictures I sent. I could not be happier with McHale's!!
We chose McHale's as our caterer for our rehearsal dinner. We had the Beef Tenderloin, Sauteed Vegetables, Rice, and Potatoes with a Caesar salad and assorted desserts all as a buffet. The potatoes and Beef were raved about by everyone, and because we chose the buffet, the carver was able to give each person their preference from rare to medium well. The staff was great-we had planned to spend some time taking pictures before dinner and they held all of the food for us so that we could do that. I appreciated how accommodating they were and that they packed up leftovers for us to take back. We had some guests who needed accommodations due to Ramadan and the staff was happy to help with that as well. The food and service were excellent and I could not have been more pleased with how our rehearsal dinner went. We decorated the tables with collectibles from our different hobbies-dance, Star Trek, LOTR, Doctor Who and the staff was great at helping get that setup and packed up at the end of the night. They were great at letting us know when the bar was closing so everyone could get a last drink etc.
Communication between us and McHale's went very smoothly. After the tasting and up to the day-of, so both my fiance-now husband- and I knew what to expect as well as pricing estimates etc. We had a number of questions for McHale's and our planner Jen was knowledgeable and able to answer all of them, which we both appreciated. We could not have asked for better responsiveness from our planner.
We really appreciate all of the work that went into making our rehearsal dinner a perfect start to our wedding weekend. We felt the catering was a good value for the quality of service and food that we received and I would definitely recommend McHale's for anyone looking for a caterer for their events.
Working with the McHale's team was nothing short of wonderful! They catered our wedding at Union Terminal earlier this month and were a key reason the day ran so smoothly. From our very first meeting with Brittany to working with Jeremy on site the day of our wedding, every detail and encounter we had with McHale's was nothing short of professional.
Since we live out of town, we opted for a private food tasting with both of our families over the holidays. The McHale's team was quick to accommodate, and it was wonderful meeting the chef at our tasting. Crowd favorites were the sun dried tomato chicken and mashed potatoes. We so loved working with Lisa on the wedding cake, which was nothing short of spectacular. She turned a few ideas into something absolutely beautiful (and delicious). Our guests raved about the food, especially the cake! The staff was so fun and engaging that a few of our guests even tried to convince them to join us on the dance floor (which we would have loved)! Everyone had just an amazing attitude and was a pleasure to work with.
A HUGE thank you to the entire McHale's team for making our wedding so memorable. We will undoubtedly be recommending McHale's to all our family and friends.
I worked with Brent and Jen at the Marquise, both were wonderful! They were very patient with our many, many questions and concerns. Jen and the team set up our centerpieces and tables exactly how we'd hoped. The food was delicious, everyone loved it! The staff at the reception was so friendly and accommodating! The entire reception and planning process was perfect and I highly recommend this venue to everyone!
Everything about McHales was outstanding from the hor dourves to the dinner to the late night snacks. We got the 5 Star sit down dinner and it was great. Definitely not your typical "wedding food". Service was also excellent during the planning stages up to the actual reception. We had a pretty large wedding about 280 people and everything went smoothly. We dealt with Brent and she really made us feel comfortable and walked us through everything.
Last, but not least, we had McHales make the wedding cake. I sent them a picture of what I hoped it would look like and they exceeded my expectations. It was a New Year Eve wedding and the top layer of the cake was made to look like a champagne bucket. She made a champagne bottle out of modeling chocolate to go inside the bucket. It was so beautiful and unique. Lisa Carter made the cake.
Highly recommend.
The food was great. We had a buffet but they unexpectedly plate served us (bride, groom, moh, and bm). They also waited on us for everything, we had a sweetheart table with just the 4 of us and everyone would have been stopping us to talk had they not done that.
We used Marquise as our wedding reception and it was great. They did promise us a few things that we did not get but we didn't notice that we didn't get them until the day after the wedding. It was kind of upsetting we didn't get a few things but overall the wedding reception was great.
I appreciated all the help I received during the planning process and the professionalism from the staff. I couldn't have asked for a better venue. Everything turned out wonderfully! Thank you for being my venue.
McHale's Events and Catering were amazing. Everything from the professionalism to the food was superb. I had an amazing wedding and thanks to them I have memories of a beautiful venue to stage it in. Thank you so much!!! Megan my event planner was wonderful and very knowledgeable, Katie the hall manager was an absolute pleasure to work with also, and the staff of the evening were very sweet and detail oriented. I loved that I could relax and enjoy everything!!!
We had both our ceremony and reception at the Marquise and the entire staff was awesome. They were never more than a few feet away if we needed anything, The food was amazing too! I highly recommend the Marquise!
The help while planning the wedding was amazing. Cassie was very thorough and helped with every detail. On the wedding night, the banquet managers Katie and Adam were fantastic. They kept everything running smoothly and made sure me and my family had a great time.
My journey with McHale's began when we toured the Marquise center for the first time with Cassie Dean. We needed someone in the vicinity of Wilder, and, with a hotel right next door, this location was perfect. Cassie was superb. She was knowledgeable, nice, flexible, accommodating, and organized. She always answered my questions in a timely manner, and was great about handling all of our requests. In the end, everything came together exactly as we had planned, thanks to Cassie.
As for the day of the wedding, our reception went off without a hitch thanks to Millie and her staff. Millie was the reception manager and handled everything with professionalism and kindness. She would check with me and the groom several times throughout the evening to make sure we were OK, had everything we needed, and if there was anything she could do. Of course, everything was always fine because the staff was just so on top of everything! We had no problems with the food, the gifts, the alcohol, the clean-up, or, most importantly, the guests. We were able to completely enjoy the evening while the staff worked hard to keep everything running smoothly.
The day after, our families had nothing but amazing reviews for the McHale's staff and the Marquise banquet room. They thought the room was beautiful, and they thought the staff went above and beyond. Even my mother-in-law, who is super-organized and was planning to do a lot of the clean up, was very impressed with Millie and the staff on how they handled left-overs and organizing the clean up at the end of the night.
And I cannot forget THE FOOD. It was amazing! Luckily, McHale's hosts menu tastings throughout the year, and we were able to attend one four months before the wedding. You were able to try everything buffet-style (which helped because we were having a buffet). We went with top round steak and a panko-crusted tilapia as our meats. You may think, "Fish on a buffet?" No, believe me, it is amazing! And as for the reception dinner itself, every guest raved about the fish. It was a hit! And the buffet was great because everyone got just the amount they needed and were able to go back for more.
As you can tell, I have nothing but great things to say about our wedding reception at the Marquise. Needless to say, the staff realizes how important the day is to you and handles the planning and execution with nothing but professionalism. They made the wedding party feel special and made the guests feel comfortable. Our night was a 5-star experience, and I truly thank McHale's for all their help.
I can honestly say McHale's will handle your event just the way you want it, and your day/night will be just as special as you always imagined it.
Thank you, McHale's!

Our thanks goes out to everyone involved in our reception at the Marquise! Everyone enjoyed the food and had a great time. All of the Marquise workers were friendly and great to be around. Cassie was a great event coordinator and met with us several times to go over all of the details for our reception which eased any worries we may have had otherwise. The decorations and table settings were perfect and the service was great! Thanks again to the entire crew at the Marquise! We would recommend them to others!
