Precious Peony is beyond fantastic. We hired them for my daughter’s wedding and never tasted any of their stuff before hand. We had them set up an amazing Grazing Table during cocktail hour and we had their Mexican Buffet for the main meal. Everyone was super impressed and no one complained one time about the food. They are very professional, detailed, communicated well with us and I liked their attention to detail. We will for sure hire them again in the future. Thank you Paige for being part of our daughter’s special day and for providing such a fabulous meal.

We used Precious Peony for our rehearsal dinner, and I truly cannot recommend them enough!
The food was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. The appetizers, dinner, and desserts were all incredible, and our guests are still raving about everything they had. It was truly some of the best catering we’ve ever experienced.
Beyond the amazing food, their team was wonderful to work with. Our rehearsal ran a little behind schedule, and they were so accommodating and gracious. They helped keep everything moving smoothly without any stress, which made such a difference in our night.
They were professional, kind, and so easy to work with throughout the entire evening. We are so grateful to Precious Peony for helping make our rehearsal dinner such a memorable and enjoyable part of our wedding weekend. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional catering!

chose the grazing table, mexican buffet, tuxedo brownies and strawberry shortcakes for dessert, and the pretzle bite late night snack!
They arrived early to set up and were extremely efficient and professional. The grazing table was absolutely stunning and delicious. The dinner was set up and smoothly served buffet style and everyone was accommodated if they had any allergies or food sensitivities. I loved thay the dessert and pretzles were served from their adorable food truck! Everyone raved about the food and really enjoyed the little late night snack surprise!
At the end, they packed all leftover food up and stored it in our fridge for us which was super nice!!! I would hire them again in a heartbeat and would recommend them to anyone. The team was that absolute sweetest and I am so grateful I found them!

This is the second time we had Precious Peony cater an event. This time it was for my daughter’s baby shower and we had so many comments on how delicious the food tasted. We asked ...
Paige for a grazing table that would blend in with a woodland/forest themed shower and she knocked it out of the park with her food selection and display. It looked amazing. Paige is so easy to work with and the communication was great. I highly recommend her and will use them again for future parties/events. Also, try the tuxedo brownies - so delicious!

e grazing table they designed was truly a work of art not only visually stunning but filled with the most delicious selections. Guests are still reaching out to us weeks later just to rave about it!
And then came the tacos from their food truck fresh, flavorful, and such a fun touch that brought everyone together. The setup was seamless, and the staff was incredible friendly, efficient, and genuinely excited to be part of our day.
Every single bite was perfection. From the starters to the entrees, Precious Peony went above and beyond to deliver something that wasn’t just a meal, but an experience.
If you’re looking for a catering company that combines amazing food, stunning presentation, and exceptional service look no further. They made our wedding feel unforgettable.

eached out. Paige designed the most lovely charcuterie table, as well as charcuterie cup appetizers for our guests. Not only was her work beautiful, but the food was fresh and all around delicious. The table was a major topic of discussion for guests. Everyone loved the concept and execution. There was something for everyone’s taste pallet, no need to keep the food warm, and the display only added to the experience. Paige communicated clearly and helped us to get everything that we wanted to see on our table. She accommodated my allergies and dietary preferences, and clearly labeled items on the table. Her set up and tear down was incredibly efficient. Paige herself was very kind and enjoyable to work with. The price was well worth what we experienced. I highly recommend their services.

They made a little plate for me which I scarfed down and then had another plate. Precious peony was a big part of why everyone said it was the “best wedding ever”. Thank you so much to the team!

rations! Our company has a VAST number of staff with different dietary restrictions. Precious Peony knows how to cater to ALL of these and makes AMAZING foods! For our private party, Paige went above and beyond and made sure even with all the dietary restrictions and picky eaters that all good was with the Italian theme. The food was AMAZING, cocktails were yummy, and above all - Paige’s presentation and attention to detail is the show stopper!! With staff events you are used to using dollar tree decor and cheapest food you can find for all. But with hiring Precious Peony, our staff were BLOWN AWAY and still to this day rave about the party! I highly recommend Paige and Precious Peony for your next event!!
