River City Catering

ng the planning stages, always so responsive and creative with what the menu could be. We loved how Trish was open to new ideas and was willing to do what the bride and groom liked. The appetizers and dinner was excellent and was served in a timely manner which we appreciated. We received so many compliments on the food which is a credit to Trish and her team. The service was over the top as well. We also had a brunch the next morning which they catered. Everything was set up and prepared on time and it was lovely. Everything ready to go and replenished when needed. Plus, it was also incredibly good. Trish was a pleasure to work with, which we all appreciated. We were glad to have River City Catering as part of the wedding, helping make it a success.

exactly what we had hoped for and more. They were very familiar with our venue Gruene Estate so I highly recommend them if you are having your event there. They work like a well oiled machine together. Everyone said everything was perfect!! They even added some things that weren’t on their standard catering menu to accommodate us!! We are so happy with our decision to go with River City Catering!!

ste testing to our wedding day, we had full confidence that Trisha had our best interests at heart and only wanted us to be happy. Trisha was extremely responsive throughout the process and always willing to answer any questions we had. Her and her team went above and beyond the day of the wedding. Aside from the food being incredibly delicious, their team were absolute rockstars the entire night. The setups for cocktail hour, getting everyone rapidly fed for dinner to clean up. We could not have asked for a better team on our big day! Lauren was our on site contact the day of our wedding and she made me and my husband feel like royalty. Always making sure we had what we needed and would come find us to see if we wanted any snacks, drinks, etc. throughout the night. If you want one less thing to worry about for your big day, let River City Catering be your go-to for catering. Their delicious food, beautiful setups and outstanding staff made all the difference on our special day!! Thank you x 1000 to this team!!

asonably-priced caterer we talked with, offered the best value for what they provided both in food and service, and were incredible easy to work with and low-maintenance. We lived in Louisiana when we contracted with them and moved to South Carolina before the wedding, but her communication was flawless with us. When both sets of parents and family went to Texas several months before the wedding to view everything, she hosted a food tasting for the 10 of us in the restaurant. With our experience at the tasting and the quality of food, we knew no one else could match up. We wanted food truck type fair and they delivered. Their queso mac-n-cheese was out of this world. Trust us....book them. Trisha won't disappoint.

lot of people that ordered the beef tried their partner's chicken and said it was fantastic. We had passed appetizers, a seated/served dinner, and no hiccups with 185 guests served in under 45 mins. Her team is fast, accurate, and she helped accommodate several last minute drops that we had. Definitely recommend her for their great pricing too, really hard to beat a homemade meal for a wedding that is very reasonably priced.

me to leave both happy hour appetizers at our table for us to enjoy since we were busy taking pictures while they were being handed out! It’s all in the details! The meal we chose was amazing and everyone was RAVING about the mac & cheese bar for our late night snack! We can’t recommend River City Catering enough! Thank you for being a part of our favorite day ever!

as so helpful to us at the tasting and on the big day! You will not be disappointed.

e would need, keeping us within our budget. On the day of the wedding, they were prompt, efficient, and went above and beyond to ensure our guests were taken care of. They even helped us clean up other items that were not their responsibility. Don’t hesitate to work with this team – you won’t regret it!

in person at our tasting. We had emailed a bunch back and forth because my husband and I wanted a pretty specific menu. They didn’t bat an eye. They didn’t give us an attitude once. They just asked us questions created the dishes (which were so so delicious) to accommodated us. The day of our wedding, our guests kept coming up to us to rave about the food. That was a pretty big deal, considering most of our guests came from New York to celebrate with us. They’re not easy to please. That is exactly what we wanted and Trisha and her team were exceptional. We don’t have one complaint to leave. They were so easy to work with when we had guest count changes, allergies, food requests. Hire them!

compliment for a seated meal at a 120-guest reception. Not only was the food tasty, but working with Trisha was a treat. The tasting was the most friendly and helpful of all the tastings we completed in preparation to select a caterer. Throughout the planning process, she was quick to answer any questions I had, and she kept my spirits up whenever I worried about anything. I’ll never forget the hug she gave me the week before the wedding when she could tell I was getting anxious. All this AND an incredibly reasonable price. We would recommend River City Catering unconditionally and feel incredibly lucky for the opportunity to have worked with them.

ious! I can promise you this, you can not go wrong with Trisha and the team at River City for any of your catering needs. The flexibility and willingness to make sure everything was executed perfectly made our wedding day that much more perfect. Our guest are still raving about how good the food was at our wedding! I would not hesitate for a moment to hire the team at River City Catering again for any of my catering needs. Trisha, thanks again for your help in making our wedding day so awesome!

xecuted many weddings and events and know the huge importance that food plays in having a successful event! After having decided to have a wedding in my Groom's hill-country hometown of New Braunfels, I was worried I wouldn't find much good food outside of BBQ or Tex-Mex. I was also planning a TX wedding from our new residence in Washington state so I had limited time in New Braunfels to actually meet with vendors! I scoured The Knot and online sites and found a few catering vendors to meet with, including River City Catering. From the first email to the wedding day Trisha was prompt in her responses, caring in her approach and open for all of my ideas! Trisha sent me lots of info and menus to look over and we made a tasting appointment based on the groom and my favorites. My Mother and I met with Trisha at the restaurant and were soon presented with plate upon plate of delicious food. During our consultation Trisha realized that my vision for my wedding feast included action stations and a relaxed buffet rather than a traditional seated/plated meal. She quickly changed tactics and her whole demeanor lit up with the excitement of planning a reception filled with food-fun! Trisha and I worked together to come up with a menu that blended our tastes as a couple including Texas, German, Pacific Northwest & New Orlean's cuisines. Since I live in WA, I was only able to meet with Trisha the one time and didn't taste the exact foods that would be served at the wedding, which was a bit stressful, however I had confidence in Trisha's talents and the quality of the food I had tasted. To say the food at our wedding was a success would be a gross understatement! All that night and the whole next day (we had a day after event) guests raved about the food! Favorites included the sliced tenderloin cooked perfectly, juicy and tender, the plump and tasty NOLA shrimp & grits, all of the many apps we served including watermelon brie and chicken & waffles, the stuffed avocados on the taco/nacho bar, and the late-night popcorn bar!! Nothing disappointed! I seriously can't say enough about Trisha and the whole team at River City Catering. If you are considering them, take the time to visit them in person as well as check out their Facebook page to see the fabulous way Trisha presents her food. Our Nacho Bar, Nosh Bar, Popcorn Bar and Buffet were all decorated in our wedding theme colors and added to the overall beauty and ambiance of the night. Nothing about Trisha's style is "ordinary" or expected. River City Catering puts thought and heart into the food, the presentation and the service. Trisha and her team truly want to exceed all expectations and they do! Meet Trisha. Book River City Catering. Reap the Rewards! My wedding was on 6.2.18 at Milltown Historic District's River Venue.

en planning an event in New Braunfels.

and considerate. I can highly recommend, I'm glad someone did to us.

w us away with her presentation! Everything went perfect on the big day. We had so many compliments on the food!

extra forks for our appetizers that werent brought by the caterers so our guests had to keep their forks from cocktail hour to use for dinner. We were told specifically that the brisket would be at a carving station and not precut and sitting in the heating pan, but it was. We confirmed the timeline multiple times and the caterer told us the thursday before the wedding we had to pay extra to have the staff stay until the end of the night to cut the cake and bus tables (we were at a DIY venue). These arent really issues that caused problems with our guests (everyone RAVED about the food) and I still would have hired them in the long run, just things I learned and want to share with future brides! The staff were exceptional at the wedding and again, everyone was super impressed by the food, as were we!

before the wedding. After a chaotic day with other vendors, it was so nice to show up to River City Café and see that Alane was organized, professional, and very knowledgeable. She shared several wonderful dishes with us, explained all the options we had, and continually reminded us that SHE was flexible. Additionally, she shared lots of “tried and true” wedding advice that was very helpful when planning. Alane packed up whatever we didn’t eat and sent it home with us for dinner. Everything was delicious. She was very easy to work with and very responsive. The day of, her staff was very professional and thoughtful. At the end of the night, they had my husband and I a bag of food to take in the car as we drove back to Houston. They packed another serving of dinner and cake which was a wonderful treat. Alane is very experienced. Our florist and day of coordinator, was Barbie Forrestor (also, fantastic). They work so well together and will tag-team whatever needs to get done. You will not regret booking River City Catering.

. Everyone there was so nice and easy to work with. They responded to every email in a timely manner and worked through every detail with us. The food was delicious the day of the wedding. We had over 200 people at our wedding and I still get compliments on how good the food was. We have been telling everyone about River City. I cant say a bad thing about them! The price was perfect, the staff was amazing and we couldn't have found a better company to work with!

y we found them!

the sweetest lady in the world, and very helpful during the planning process. Trish set up a beautiful serving station. The servers were sweet and asked to take photo booth pictures with us for good luck. During our tasting meeting, we were serve a ton of food, all of which was delicious, and what we didn't eat, they packaged and let us take home! The restaurant has a pretty outdoor area also, great for rehearsal/large group dinners also! At the wedding, the food was hot, fresh, and delicious! Everything we wanted. They also cut and serve (set on the buffet area) the cake for free, which is really nice! Overall, completely satisfied!!!

ding drew closer, it was more and more difficult to get a response from her. I really wish the pricing included disposable plates and flatware.

ompliments we got on the food and service. 100% would use them all over again!

we were so happy we did. It was such a joy to work with her and meet with her on occasion, she is definitely a busy lady. With the food and services she provides, I know many people love her and her staff. She definitely gets booked for lots of events. The really nice thing too, is that she only does one event per day that she is hired. So you never feel like you are competing for attention on your special day. Her staff even cut our cake for us free of charge, since we provided the plates and napkins ourselves. Our guests had nothing but wonderful things to say about the food, displays of the buffet and appetizer tables and service of River City Catering. I saw Alane taking pictures of us and I could see how much she truly cared about us. After dinner and cake were served they cleaned up their areas and packaged all the extra food up for us to take home. When we got home and went through our wedding gifts, to our surprise Alane had given us a gift. It was a frame with a picture of a tree carved with a heart and our names and wedding date on it. It wasn't much, but in our eyes it was beautiful and made me tear up in delight. It was such a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend Alane with River City Catering to anyone looking for food service for their wedding or event. You would not be sorry!

uld not have pulled off panning our out of state wedding without her. She went above and beyond to help us in anyway she could. She is just the sweetest! You will definitely not be sorry if you choose River City, no matter what style of wedding you are planning. Alane and her staff can do it all! Her staff was also incredibly friendly and professional. Love, love, LOVED everything about River City Catering!

kind person that checks on you throughout the whole process. Now to the food, WOW! We did the beef tenderloin and stuffed chicken breast served with green beans and loaded mashed potatoes and it was HOT when they served it!! Holy moly, it was amazing. I would HIGHLY recommend them for your wedding! $60 per person.

f or didn't know what to do with. We had a fabulous tasting experience and booked within a week. We had a rustic BBQ buffet with generous portion sizes that everyone really enjoyed. They had several servers which made everything go smoothly and they cut our cake for no extra charge.

erful assortment of savory appetizers during cocktail hour and helped themselves to an assortment of fresh fruit and cheese that was exquisitely arranged in a breath taking spread. The delicious dinner included a fresh green salad with an original dressing/salsa, beef tenderloin, stuffed chicken, summer veggies, loaded mashed potatoes, and the most amazing rolls. Alane's staff was highly professional and efficient. Their service was exemplary. Throughout the entire planning process, Alane was patient, sincere, and accommodating. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed the meal and talked about it for days after the wedding. Please consider Alane and River City Catering if you desire an exceptional dining experience at your special occasion. You will not be disappointed.

t a lot of complements on the food. I would definitely recommend to use them. We had great experience with them from beginning to the end.
