Morton's Fine Catering

with them throughout the planning process, and our event could not have gone better food-wise!

toast was the best I've ever had (by a long shot), a guest came up raving about the sausage links, and we were showered with compliments about the food. I've been to several weddings and this was my favorite meal! And not just because it was my wedding lol. They also helped orchestrate by releasing tables, they were prompt at clearing them when guests finished eating, they were fully setup and ready to serve on time, and they cleaned up quickly afterward. We are so happy we went with them on our big day!

f state so this was especially great). The quality of service and food was incredible, 5 stars is not enough! We got so many compliments on the food and kindness of staff. They handle everything with so much professionalism, it’s unbelievable. I couldn’t recommend them enough!!!

nd during our tasting, and we appreciated her help immensely. The food was amazing at both the tasting and our wedding. We chose the beef bourguignon and cherry chicken and we are still having people rave on how it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. The staff was so kind and made sure the tables were attended to all night. Best choice we made having Morton’s at our wedding!

s were attentive and friendly and the food was delicious.

he tables food up to the buffet table. The house dressing for the salad was so good. Everyone was so nice and helpful. Even let me take a to go plate for later.

employees were not focused on the persons at the reception, they did not check for water, picking up dishes that were dirty, and the food was not hot. The brides family was sent to the buffet line last and no one checked back in after the salad was distributed. We had quite a few no shows and Morton’s said that we could not have leftovers, but they would give them to a homeless shelter. Nice thought, but we found the excess food in trash cans and we had to dump them. The saddest thing is that the price was double the other caterer.

prices which was a HUGE time saver compared to other companies who want to make a whole meeting to go over that stuff. We were able to see if they had food we'd like and in our price point from the get-go. Brenda was who we were in contact with up until our reception day and she was incredibly polite, helpful, informative, and patient. I even asked her if I could tip her because she was so great to talk to. On the day of, the team showed up on time, the woman in charge introduced herself to me, and they set up so quickly without making much noise at all. We had ordered five appetizers and it was all delicious. I had multiple people tell me how great it was. Using the same two tables the appetizers were on, the team switched it out to our dinner buffet, and again, the food was delicious. The place settings were beautiful, the buffet noted what each option was, and the servers were on top of things. When everyone was done eating, the team took everything down and slipped out without anyone barely noticing. At the end of the night, my husband and I did realize something that made us smile - we had a table set up with two things: paper toasts and flour. The paper toasts were there for people to write toasts/kind words on for us. The flour was because my husband is a chef and, as a unity type thing, he wanted our guests to throw flour into one new container that he'd use to make a

d quickly to get guests fed. They worked well with us from even before our first tasting. I wish they had a restaurant so we could enjoy the food again and again!

her! We had last minute changes due to COVID supply chain shortages, but I liked those changes better! We went with the Seasonal Eats and everyone LOVED it!! You will not regret going with Morton's!

e day of the wedding was so hectic and my husband and I were so focused on everything else that we weren’t hungry but I remember sitting at the head table and looking around at everyone else eating and having their own conversations saying “omg this is so good!” When I saw what people were saying I made sure to try every single thing we offered and it was all so so good! And the staff was so amazing! As the Bride I wanted to spend most of my time on the dance floor or with guests and if I needed a drink or anything there was always someone a few steps behind me that would get me anything and everything I needed and made sure I was good all night. They honestly were the best food I’ve ever had at a wedding and I’m so happy that I had them for mine.

at things. They were incredibly helpful and flexible. Above all, their food was out of this world. All the guests said they thought it was from a restaurant it was unlike any catered food they had ever had. We did buffet style and everything was so fresh and delicious. Would recommend for literally any and every group event!

find a caterer and I'm so glad Morton's was available! Brenda was so amazing to work with during our last minute planning. We have had so many compliments on how amazing all the food was at our wedding and we owe that all to Morton's! All the staff Morton's provided was so kind and helpful as well!

friendly. Communication on changes during the pandemic months was not the best. We were able to work through everything with them, but the initiative on their end to move forward with plans was lacking. That said, after several emails and Zoom meetings the wedding day itself went smoothly and our guests were very happy with the food!

reat job at keeping updated and following the guidelines and protocols that were enforced due to the pandemic. They were very considerate of limiting people’s exposure to each other. I cannot say enough great things of Morton’s. We had booked them way before the pandemic had taken place and they didn’t bat an eye when I had to change location of our reception venue. The food was delicious and they were able to keep the food nice and hot even though they had to drive an hour to the new venue! Thank you so much for making our wedding so memorable.

Brenda was amazing with helping us plan a wonderful evening. The entire wait staff was professional and friendly. Jessie our day of contact was amazing and she had the staff working their tails off to make sure the evening was perfect. The food was absolutely phenomenal. The tasting went smoothly and we went over a lot of details, and the recommendations that brenda has for alcohol are pretty easy to work with. I absolutely recommend Morton’s and this was by far one of my favorite parts of my wedding day outside of marrying the groom!

hing better for our special day!! Brenda was an absolute pleasure to work with and was always available to help answer any questions or concerns we had throughout the planning process... and the entire staff was friendly, efficient, and attentive to us and all of our guests throughout the entire evening!! To top it all off, the food was hands down some of the most delicious that we have ever had!!! To this day we still receive compliments on how amazing everything was 😍 We honestly could not be more pleased with our decision to hire Mortons for our wedding day and would highly recommend them to anyone!!! Thank you for helping make our special day that more more incredible 💗

inute which was a huge help for coordinating with the other vendors. She was always willing to answer my questions and take my calls, even when my guest count changed 4 times in the last week! One of the servers found me at the end of the night with my half-finished glass of wine and piece of first-cut cake and asked if I wanted them. It’s silly, but that was so kind. I really appreciated them going the extra mile to make everything polished. I’m glad we went with Morton’s, even though the final bill made me almost have a heart attack... (more people rsvp’d than I had intended and those taxes and service percentages are no joke!) Money well spent though, I believe.

were all amazing to us! We are so incredibly lucky to have had Morton’s cater our special day! We will most definitely be recommending Morton’s in the future! Thanks again!

my parents upon their arrival to the reception and assured them that our guests were in good hands. Good food, we had mushroom pork, Mediterranean pasta, potatoes and mixed vegetables and they took care of linens and even helped cut and box cake as favors for guests. Highly recommend these guys!

re enough food for all of our guests, even after we told them to prepare for a higher number of guests than ended up coming. Two tables at our wedding did not get a meal, including the table with our wedding officiant, and Morton's staff offered to "order them pizza." We had people drive in from out of town to be offered pizza. It almost sounds too ludicrous to be true. If you are considering having Morton's cater your wedding, I would encourage you to at least sit down with other caterers in the area, as Morton's is not the only one, despite the way they make it seem. Another caterer we spoke with had warned me that Morton's has this problem, but when I asked Beth Morton point blank, she basically scoffed and said that of course they always prepare enough, and I believed her. I could have forgiven the blunder, terrible as it was, had they immediately told us, apologized, and made it right. But our wedding was in October of 2018, and we JUST learned of this embarrassing situation from friends who had been trying to spare us the humiliation by not telling us, but finally did. I cannot believe that this happened, that no one from Morton's told my husband or myself, and that they just tried to pass it off by offering to order our guests pizza, with no other form of remediation even considered. As happy as our wedding day was, now I will always look back on it with this cloud of disappointment and embarrassment that our caterer failed so spectacularly to render the services for which we paid. Is this not the most basic expectation a bride should have for a caterer? The food can be average, but for goodness' sake there needs to be enough for everyone. I suspect that their under-preparedness and lack of concern to fix the situation was because my husband and I, two graduate students on a budget, opted for one of their least expensive packages. It's a shame that they feel customers who aren't paying as much don't deserve the respect of having all of their guests fed.

olate which guests loved. Everyone at Morton's was very professional and enthusiastic. Our servers did a great job and our coordinator was fantastic. I would highly recommend Morton's Fine Catering.

reat to work with and was helpful in working with our budget, all while providing high quality food for our wedding. It was a seamless process overall and our guests were very pleased with the food at our cocktail hour and reception. We recommend Morton's for your wedding needs!

cisions I made for our wedding. Brenda and Beth took care of us from day 1 and made me feel like I was very special and not just a number - they really cared about making my wedding the best day ever. Brenda was so gracious and answered all of my questions (even the silly ones!) and even organized a lovely tasting for me, my parents, and my future in-laws! They know the MSU Gardens so well, but Beth still took the time to meet me at the Gardens and do a walk-through so I was comfortable with everything. The wedding day was PERFECT - the service was professional and they were so flexible. We had some food from another caterer and they were even willing to accommodate that and help us organize. And last but not least, the FOOD - wow the food, was delicious! I even found time during my own wedding to eat the good food and all the guests loved the as well. I really can't say enough about how thankful my husband and I are to Morton's. They took care in every detail and made our special day the best day of our lives. Thank you so much!

hing on the wedding day! We received so many compliments about the food and the service. This company is the best!!

y questions promptly. We received so many compliments on the food. We used their bar service as well. They were great and kept our guests happy throughout the night. They even helped us get everything packed up - including helping figure out a way to get our leftover cake home. Would highly recommend!!

r appetizers multiple times & really talked me through each option to fit our tastes & likes. During the tasting i was blown away by the quality, presentation, and taste of the food!!!! During the end of the tasting she gave us a gift to take home & made sure we set up our next contact appointment to go over things! I would recommend them for any occasion you need catering!!!!!!

cious. We also had desserts catered which were wonderful! I highly recommend!

da was a dream to work with. We were sold at the tasting after trying a few entrees. I appreciated they gave us privacy to eat and discuss what we liked. We did a buffet for our wedding with appetizers earlier on. The staff arrived on time and were professional. We also used them for bar tending and they did awesome. Would highly recommend them to anyone!

g! I worked with Brenda and she was great about working with me on the meal and all of the details for what types of glasses we would need and what not. I definitely recommend them for Lansing area wedding and even catering.

c job. Of all of our demands, one mistake was made regarding our wedding colors. We were able to handle this without problem, and move forward on short notice. Honestly, I'm not certain what we were more impressed with - the in-person meetings or the precision of our wedding day. We loved the staff. We loved the owners. We loved the bartenders. A very good experience. The food was on point. The service was on point. Very very pleased.

rink. There were a few minor issues before the wedding but these were resolved quickly and professionally. My mom had given me so much grief about using Morton's because they are not the cheapest place around. I told my mom, you pay for what you get! In this case it was worth every penny :)

eir dinners - we had so many compliments and no leftovers! Everything about our experience with Morton's, from the planning through the event, exceeded our expectations. Brenda was wonderful to work with - she checked in regularly, promptly answered all questions and helped make sure our reception was a success. Any future catering needs we have, Morton's will be our very first call.

hey now have there own private venue.)

create some comfort foods with a personal touch. I couldn't believe how many people are STILL (a month later) telling us how it was the best food- including a friend who is a professional chef! Beth helped create a cake that was based on my grandmother's recipe, come up with a signature drink, and find a way to make mini pot pies happen- she's a saint!! She always got back to me right away, and the staff on the Big Day was unbelievably helpful- with more than just food! One of the waitresses got my candles lit, and another one made sure all the lights were plugged in. They went above and beyond- even making sure I had remembered to eat! The displays of food looked like something out of a magazine, for a very reasonable price. It helped make our big day memorable and unique- down to the popcorn bar at the end! I can't say enough good things about Morton's- and neither could my guests!!

When my husband and I went to her shop for a tasting, Beth helped us determine a timeline and gave excellent input and suggestions as to how to keep the night running smoothly. I have experience in event planning and could tell right away that this caterer was going to knock it out of the park. Choosing Morton's was one of the easiest and best decisions we made. For cocktail hour we had the feta dip, veggies and green goddess dip and cheese and crackers. For dinner we chose a buffet with prime rib, chicken vesuvio, roasted redskins and green beans. The wedding was a few days ago and we have been getting nonstop calls and texts about how great the food was! From a service perspective, we had a beer & wine cocktail hour and a full bar at the reception. The bartenders were enjoying their time and laughing with our guests and the servers were very friendly and kept the tables bussed throughout the night. They would even go to the table and refold your napkin and straighten your silverware when you left your seat. There were three things they did that went especially above and beyond any service I have ever encountered: 1. The CO2 for the kegerator wasn't working properly so John and Chris got some tools and figured out how to get it working before the guests, or I, knew there was a problem. 2.I had planned to have Sparty come to the reception as a surprise to our guests and the groom and gave Beth and her staff a heads up, but asked that they keep this a secret. I told my aunt about it so she could help hide Sparty when he got there and when she mentioned it to one of Beth's staff members they replied, "We know and we aren't allowed to talk about it." 3. I had emailed Beth about having blue cheese at only the head table for myself and the maid of honor, but it seemed like more of a pain so I told her not to worry about it. My salad ended up having crumbled gorgonzola anyway. Between the mouthwatering food and the friendly, attentive staff, I would recommend Morton's to anyone for their event. Food and service are definitely something all of your guests will remember and having Beth's input on your timeline will ensure your wedding day goes smoothly and is stress free.

nomenal to work with! We requested an entirely vegan menu and they surely delivered some of the most delicious menu items we've ever had! Even our most-carnivorous guests said they were impressed with what we had to offer! From set up to clean up, we didn't have to worry about a thing during our big day! The waitstaff even kept checking in on my groom and I throughout the night to make sure we were having a great time! We also used the bar service provided by Morton's and it was a hit! The coordination that it takes to pull off a big event is stressful enough- leave the more important factors to the professionals and your guests with leave with a very, VERY good taste in their mouth!

ere also amazing! The presentation of the food was beautiful. Thank you, Morton's!

nders were some of the best we've seen. Having this vendor at your wedding will ensure things will go so smooth!!

On top of that, their food was fantastic and they were so accommodating - they listened to our requests and helped us find ways to incorporate exactly what we wanted. Their staff at the wedding was professional, discrete, and yet very friendly. At the wedding, the food came out quickly and cooked perfectly. My now-husband and I had a unique wedding venue and do not live in Michigan (both of which I was worried about creating issues with catering), but neither of those things were an issue at all with Morton's! We used Morton's for catering and to staff the bar and I have to say, they exceeded all of our expectations from the quality of the food to the attitudes of the staff to the planning and organization of Beth, the owner. I would absolutely use them again and would recommend them to anyone in the area!

made sure that the bride, groom, and parents sat down for at least a little while to eat :) I can't thank them enough for the great job they did. My only complaint is that email communication is a quite slow and that can be stressful two weeks before your big day!
