Rich’s Catering & Special Events

! From the cocktail hour hors d'oeurves, to the entrees, to the late night snack station (gourmet breakfast sandwiches and Parmesan truffle tater tots!?!?!). The breakfast sandwich option wasn't even on their 2022 catering menu anymore, but since we saw it and wanted it, she made it happen. She was a true asset, not only helping us plan our big day, but also being there the day of to make sure everything went as planned.

ny options to select it was hard to narrow down our selection but the guest raves about everything, even our guest with special dietary restrictions and vegetarians raved about their meals. Our wedding coordinator Steve went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect and helped to keep all the timelines in place allowing for a stress free day ( every brides dream) . If you are looking for the perfect venue that will set you apart from every other wedding and have your guest and you talking about your wedding for years to come , this is it. We cannot say enough about Rich’s.

ere well looked after by the staff. Highly recommend their services and delicious food!

esponsive, customer friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend working with them!

tions quickly and easily accommodated any changes we made. Using them seriously took a huge weight off my shoulders, and I was not concerned about anything going wrong, knowing there were there.

the way I wanted it!! They do the set up at the theatre, and it looked amazing!! Better than I could have ever dreamed! I sometimes also talked with Steve when Maureen was out of office, and they are always quick to reply and so helpful!! So let's talk food. I won't list all the hors d'oeuvres I got but many were Buffalo themed and they were all delicious!! The entrees were sooooooooooooooo delicious!!! My guests had the chicken chardonnay, filet of sirloin, roasted salmon, and summer rollatini (and kids meal). EVERYONE I talked to about the food said it was hands down the best wedding food they had ever had!! When we were walking around to do our rounds, people's plates were wiped clean. SOO GOOD! The cake was also delicious and well presented! ;D I highly recommend Rich's to those looking for a catering service!!

ht - she was my right hand woman! The food was outstanding, the venue was gorgeous, and they worked well with the other vendors I used. Parking was available for all guests, which was a positive as many of the other venues I looked at required we pay for valet. Only negatives: 1) We ordered wine service during dinner and it was not poured until dessert 2) I wish there was more than 1 bar (as I had 300 guests). They told me there would be two bars, but the second bar was tucked away in the cocktail hour where no one ventured to once we moved to the main atrium area 3) Gail, the head coordinator was tough to communicate with. It was hard to get a hold of her and when I did, she would only answer parts of my questions. Other than those details, people are still commenting on how stunning the venue was. Definitely don't pass up the atrium as a contender on your venue list!

ave another event so that I can employ Rich's again!

t with all my questions and concerns. He had answers and was so reassuring about everything. He also told me, "even if there's a problem, it'lll be fixed and you won't know even know about it." As someone who works in entertainment as well I totally loved that. There are always things that come up no matter how well you plan. On top of it all, Steve and his assistant TJ were so kind and funny. I'd hang out with them anytime! Oh geez I need to talk about food. It was amazing!!!! Everyone raved about the food. My father in law is a former banquet chef for a large company and he loved everything so much he went and thanked the chefs. That should say it all. No one went home hungry. I've been to so many weddings where I stopped at McDonalds on the way home and I can assure you no person stopped at a drive thru on their way home from ours!

to booking with them and their cake was absolutely delicious! They have a wide variety of flavors and fillings that can accommodate anyone. I had found a picture of a wedding cake that I liked and I provided it to Dessert Builders and they did a great job of replicating it. Overall I was very happy with the service and quality of the work at Dessert Builders and I would definitely recommend them for not only a wedding, but for any cake-worthy occasion! :)

ded all the finishing touches for true one-stop shopping. Everything from the chargers on the tables to the pillar and stage draping and lighting was done impeccably. Their attention to detail and eye for the beautiful in combination with The Rapids Theatre's obvious allure and sophistication brought exactly the right feeling of elegance and whimsy. Steve G and his assistant Taylor are your personal day-of coordinators at no additional charge. And they are amazing at what they do! We also appreciated the small touches that meant a lot to us. They made sure that the butlers with the h'or duerves made a point to come to us while we were mingling during cocktail hour, while also making sure we always had our drink of choice in hand during the entire event, even without asking. When my glass was empty, a watchful eye was always seconds away with another glass of my favorite drink. The presentation and elegance of the evening was just enough, without being so much that it felt stuffy and inhibited the guests from having a great time. If I had it to do over, of course I would because it was one of the best days of my life. But I would not change a thing. Rich's Catering and The Rapids Theatre are a match made in wedding heaven. Thank you Steve and everyone else at Rich's Catering.

nervous about how the end result was going to be but when I saw it on our big day I almost started crying! The cake was 100% a representation of us and they nailed it on the head! Also, as always Rich's cake quality was spot on. The best wedding cakes I have ever eaten were always Rich's cakes!

e chose fresh for us. It was delicious, and I do not like cake normally. I even used them for my shower cake because it was so good. They did everything we asked for and I got a TON of compliments on how good the cake was, and how pretty it looked, etc. They got the flowers from my florist and it was designed so beautifully. The only thing that bothered me was the fact that they don't really use email. They always used the phone, and if I emailed I wasn't responded to for a week plus. I work full time during the day and it was difficult for me to make phone calls, but every time I did call, or my husband called, we got a friendly answer immediately. I'm just at the modern technology point that it is easier to use email for little questions.

erry filling. The cupcake and cake frosting was delicious and was topped in pretty sugar crystals as we ordered. The fondant flowers were beautifully crafted and a lovely touch. Dessert Builders even loaned us (free) the multi-tiered stand. We picked up our items, but they will also deliver if needed. They provides us with free samples! They are easy to work with - especially once you have an idea of what you want, but we didn't, so they happily helped steer us in the right direction!

tiful and exactly what we had asked for ... Thank you!

silver embellishments we had discussed, so I was a little disappointed, but no one but us knew they were supposed to be there, so it was okay. Overall great experience with Dessert Builders.

with decorations. She gave her opinions in a very professional way. In the end, her ideas really were the best. The cake was not only beautiful, but also yummy!

ly delicious and the atmosphere perfect!

very well tended to the entire evening. The night ran smoothly and our catering manager interfaced well with our DJ and Photographer to make sure that everything happened as planned. The head waiter even made sure to put snacks in the back 'bridal room' when he noticed we hadn't finished our dinners in case we were hungry later in the evening. I would highly recommend Rich's Atrium and Rich's Catering.

was perfect!!! I would reccomend them to anyone!!!
