Root Cellar Catering Co.

nto planning, I randomly emailed Beth asking what the pricing would look like to switch from Buffet to Family Style, and she drew up the updated proposal that day. And on the week-of side, she was tweaking our rentals order (which they handled for us - HUGE HELP!! Highly Recommend having them do this!) literally on the last day before it was due to the Rentals company. The food was phenomenal, and they even let us do the Hatch Chili Mac n Cheese that comes with a particular entree as its own standalone side and were really accommodating with handling various allergens of our guests (Nuts/Shellfish/Dairy/Gluten/etc) - all handled easily and safely. And the food is GOOD - let me tell you, when we were doing our rounds at tables, I am not joking, every plate was scraped CLEAN. I noticed night of and was so happy! I'm a big foodie and it means a lot to me to serve hot, delicious food that I know the guests loved. And we went with a self service buffet so people were setting their own portions! I saw many folks go back for seconds too. We also hired our Bartenders through Root Cellar, and I had MULTIPLE people tell me that we served we best margarita they'd ever had, which is saying something for a family of Texans. They also easily added a mocktail option for our NA guests and dealt with some overly complicated wine requests from me (My dad brought a specific bottle that he wanted his family to try, so that was hiding behind the bar on request). And the servers were FUN! They were dancing along with the music, making jokes while pouring drinks, they remembered my drink order when I came back to the bar from the dance floor and were SO sweet when we sent them home with flowers. It felt like they got to enjoy the party too! If you are getting married in the Hill Country, Root Cellar is THE choice. Book them now - go go go!!

rcos and knew we had to book them for our wedding. We did a tasting and the selection was pretty much what we had chose for our menu, which we enjoyed every last bite. For a buffet service, we had our worries but the first bite took us back to our tasting when the dishes were fresh off the stove, maybe even better. We did the short rib and the herb chicken pan gravy and it was chef's kiss. The catering service was amazing. They were quick and attentive. We are so happy to have chose Root Cellar as our caterer and we received a lot of compliments from our guests about how delicious all the food was. Such a great service overall, thank you!!

e food!! It was delicious! 

our decision and it was all so delicious! Beth was also incredible to work with, her response time was so quick and she was sooo helpful with any questions we had and any adjustments that we needed to make (which we had a lot of) On the day of everything flowed so smoothly and our guests enjoyed everything from the food to the service at the bar. Thank you again Beth!

day as it was at the tasting and everyone (us included) raved about the ribs and mushroom pasta especially. All of the servers and bartenders were great with our guests. The buffet service went very smoothly, the bar lines never got too long, and they did a great job transitioning from set up, to cocktail hour with passed hors d'oeuvres inside, to dinner and reception outside. Thank you Root Cellar and Beth!

tions. My husband and I used to go to Root Cellar cafe for dates so it was a full circle movement having the catering company at our wedding!

ng to all of our guests' preferences with everything from our delicious grazing table to hearty main courses. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We received so many compliments on the food, with guests raving about the unique flavors and variety. (Highly recommend that you add on the fries) On top of that, the service was outstanding—attentive without being intrusive, and everything was served seamlessly. We highly recommend them for any event where great food and exceptional service are a priority!

with their catering team. They were incredibly responsive and great to work with. We opted for a plated meal with chicken, pork, and vegetarian options along with cookies for dessert and breakfast tacos as a late night snack option. We've been to many weddings before and have honestly never been impressed with catered wedding food, so our expectations were low going into the event and Root Cellar well exceeded. The food was delicious and we are still receiving compliments over one month out from our wedding.

elf was delicious! I will definitely hire them for our next big event.

exceptional wedding experiences.

an friends with a delectable and creative menu. It was clear that every dish was prepared with care and attention to detail. The flavors were outstanding, and the presentation was nothing short of exquisite. Your ability to cater to a variety of dietary preferences without compromising on taste was truly remarkable. Equally deserving of praise was your staff. Their professionalism, efficiency, and warm demeanor did not go unnoticed. They ensured that every guest felt welcomed and well taken care of, contributing significantly to the overall positive atmosphere of our event. We received numerous compliments from our guests about your staff's outstanding service. The bar service provided by your team was equally impressive. Our guests enjoyed a wide selection of beverages, expertly crafted cocktails, and a well-stocked bar. The bartenders were attentive, friendly, and ensured that everyone's drink preferences were met with a smile. In summary, your catering services played an integral role in making our event a resounding success. Your dedication to culinary excellence, accommodating all dietary preferences, and the professionalism of your staff and bar service truly set you apart. We are immensely grateful for the memorable experience you created for us and our guests. We would not hesitate to recommend Root Cellar Catering to anyone in search of exceptional catering services. Your commitment to delivering top-notch quality is evident in every aspect of your service!

yummy. The cupcakes were even yummier. Our guests complimented our catering choice for days. We highly recommend choosing them to cater your special events!

ere were no issues the day of our wedding and managed to accommodate our guests' needs. Leading up to the wedding, both Vanessa and Megan were great to work with during the tasting and planning. They were both patient and understanding while we scrambled with many other details. Overall, I would highly recommend Root Cellar for wedding and other events. They are professional and great at what they do, and it gives you peace of mind when planning and coordinating a big event.

chose action stations and because of our guest count, we were required to have four (probably could've done fine with three), which made things a bit pricey, but the food was all delicious and we got lots of good comments about our choices. Best of all, they were able to provide a Blue Bell ice cream bar - my now-husband's only request!

ing about how good the food was but about the event." I am confident people left our reception RAVING about how good our food was. The staff was extremely helpful and courteous. The food could not have been better. We went with the buffet option, It was efficient and did not take away anything from the quality of food. Their team was communicative and on point with everything we asked. We could not thank them more for such an amazing job. If you go with any other catering company you are making a mistake.

huge hit as an appetizer. The biggest hit was the mojitos their bartenders made, these were our signature drink and many guests said they were so good that was all they drank the whole event! We had a great experience working with Root Cellar leading up to the wedding. The tasting was great and helped us adjust the menu, including deciding to include that special salmon dish! We went back and forth on many details and small changes and appreciated their help in getting all the right amounts of everything. They also accommodated having a meal served early specifically for the bride and groom right after the ceremony in our private space, which was executed perfectly on the day of. Thank you, Root Cellar, for doing such a great job for our wedding!

are pleasant to work with, and as a local planner, I refer them to my clients frequently!

bartending, they are a great company to work with!

ucking station. All of our guests LOVED it!! And the ceviche passed during cocktail was sinfully delicious. I ate four of them :) I basically gave them a description of the vibe we wanted and Chef Megan went from there with our menu design. It was phenomenal.

their pricing was very reasonable next to their competitors. And we're so happy we did! They really listened to our vision and made it a reality. Vanessa put so much thought and time into our wedding, responding to our countless emails, taking our phone calls, and sitting with us at our tasting. The food was also terrific! Our guests are still raving about how delicious everything was, especially the salmon. Working with the Root Cellar was just an all-around great experience. As vendors, they were easy and communicative and as people, they were just the sweetest. Thank you all so much for helping make our wedding day as beautiful as it was!

ng and bartending services and they knocked it our of the park! Not only did we get a lot of compliments from guests regarding the food options, but the bartenders did a great job of catering to our guests throughout the evening. We are so thankful for Vanessa (who was available and communicative throughout the entire process) and the entire root cellar team!

ere passed appetizers: mac & cheese topped with bacon, pulled pork taco, veggies & hummus. Entrees: rosemary orange chicken (so good) & braised short ribs. Late night snack: chicken & waffles. The team was very responsive and great at communicating from start to finish. The staff the day of our wedding was incredible! Everyone was so friendly - from bar tenders to the food runners. We ended up having very unfortunate weather on our wedding day and our dinner was in a winter tent at the venue but it was really cold. My dinner was still very hot when it was brought to me, so that was great! I did not get to try any appetizers or the late night snack but we received quite a few compliments on them. Amazing experience overall and I'd highly recommend Root Cellar for your catering needs! We also used them for our 2021 Thanksgiving dinner.

xt event. Their execution at our wedding was top-notch, their pricing was reasonable, and their staff members were fun. We will be heading to their restaurant soon so we can enjoy their food again soon.

tant changes. Vanessa Vass (Sales Director) was one of my absolute favorite vendors to work with. She is always willing to hop on the phone or talk through your vision, budget, and expectations. The Root Cellar team provided delicious and beautifully plated meals throughout the event. The entire staff was extremely professional and I would highly recommend them as your catering vendor.

meet there when able. We received many compliments on the food and signature drinks they provided. Eileen H

helped us design the perfect menu for our price point. For appetizers, our guests raved about the guacamole and salsa bar and the mac & cheese with honey peppered bacon. We chose buffet style for the entrees, which was efficient and attentive to dietary restrictions. The chicken and waffles for the late night snack was a delicious addition to the evening! Vanessa Vass was our amazing direct point of contact that so responsive and helpful! The Root Cellar staff helped the day run so smoothly, including little details like creating delicious watermelon infused water for our guests. We are grateful for their amazing creativity and hard work that made our day so special.

I highly recommend them!

m to work with! Let me start by saying - finding the perfect caterer was one of the most daunting tasks in our wedding planning journey. We got quotes from so many caterer's, it made our heads spin, but we finally narrowed our selection down to three. The first caterer we tried had us running for the hills, but the next day we had our tasting with Root Cellar. When we sat down with Megan (owner and lead chef), we immediately felt at ease. Before bringing any food in, she sat and talked to us about our wedding wants & needs. Then she brought out salads and told us while we ate our salads, she would be in the kitchen finishing cooking our entrees. Yes - everything is cooked fresh and this is how it will be at your event! They prepared everything on-site at our wedding to assure the quality and freshness of the food. This was huge to us and we just felt so relieved. Not to mention, during our tasting Megan told us her recipes for her creations and we immediately understood why everything tasted SO good. Everything was cooked with love and care - this is not your frozen, toss-it-in-the-oven and serve type of food. It is upscale, quality food with a hint of comfort. Needless to say, we cancelled our tasting with the third caterer. So while Megan is the magician behind the cuisine, then there is Vanessa. Vanessa is kind of like your own personal catering coordinator guardian angel. I can't even count how many times I changed my mind or asked her to revise our catering proposal. (I wanted to see options for buffet vs. family style vs. plated dinners, with bar service and without, X amount of appetizers and china, etc.) and without hesitation Vanessa was there to help answer all of my questions with such grace. You don't find this level of service with just anyone - the Root Cellar team is like a breath of fresh air! Now for wedding day! We decided to do a plated dinner for our reception with hand passed appetizers during cocktail hour. Our appetizers were: chicken & waffle bites, mini crab cakes and fresh tomato bruschetta . For the entree: rosemary focaccia bread, berry bleu salad, spinach artichoke whole roasted chicken & creamy pesto pasta. Our wedding was two months ago, and we still have guests telling us how good the food was. The best feeling was sitting down with my new husband and just watching the Root Cellar team come out and serve our guests. It honestly felt like we had a small army working for us, making sure the dining experience was perfect - which it was. If you want great food, a positive planning experience and a high level of professionalism, Root Cellar is the way to go. If you are on the fence, believe me: book a tasting! You will not regret it.

d Vanessa warmly welcomes you to the experience they provide with an awesome tasting. Our passed hors d'oeuvres were amazing, the meals were absolutely delicious down to the starter salads, the signature drinks were a big hit, and the late night snack option (we had the popcorn bar!) was something our guests raved about all night. Our guests were so happy about everything! To top it all off, the service of their staff was 10/10. They were all so kind and friendly. From the bartenders to the wait staff, everything went seamlessly! In sum, Megan and Vanessa will take care of you and make sure their job is done very well. We are so lucky to have had Root Cellar as our caterer; you would be remiss not to book them right now!

ssue was with the serving staff, they did not distribute the cake properly to our guests, and many of them (including my husband and I and both our families) did not receive cake at all :( that was pretty disappointing. I still wouldn't have chosen any other catering company for our big day. Well done Root Cellar and thank you!

t in her replies, always had answers to my questions and was friendly, professional, knowledgeable and organized about every detail of our event. We were getting married at home and the reception was in our large warehouse garage. Before the wedding, she toured the space and gave pointers about the best placement for everything. The food was beyond amazing. We had NY Strip Loin, Rosemary Orange Chicken and Orzo for the vegetarians. The taco in a bag was the perfect late night snack for everyone on the dance floor too! The kids raved about the Mac & Cheese. The presentation was gorgeous- I truly wouldn't change a thing about the menu- it was perfect! As wonderful as all of that was, I especially want to rave about the staff who was there that night. They were on top of everything- absolute pros. They were clean and organized and they left the place looking better than when they arrived. But the best part was how much they actually participated in our event. Each and every one of them made our special night even more wonderful. They were funny and friendly and engaging and so much fun to be around. We couldn't have asked for a better group of people to share our day with. I wish I knew all of their names so I could specifically thank each one of them for the special moments we shared throughout the night. Root Cellar has got a really special group of people who obviously love what they do and put their heart and soul into making everyone at the event feel like family. Everyone raved about the bartender and how she made the best Shirley Temples from scratch for the kiddos (in addition to every other yummy adult beverage). The most memorable moment of the night was when their chef, Bryan, actually participated in a hilarious joke our friend did for the toast... that part was so unexpected, I was ROLLING with laughter. My special night just wouldn't have been the same without each and every one of them! If you're looking for a caterer for your special day, you can seriously stop looking. You simply won't have a more wonderful experience- from start to finish- than you will with Root Cellar Catering!

extremely helpful in answering all of our many questions and making our big day run smoothly! 10/10 would recommend Root Cellar and hope we get to work with them again in the future!

en. All of her dishes are BOMB. The tasting and catering experiences they provide are top notch and I could not recommend them more.

al (and morning- after brunch) for us. They made accommodations for our vegan and nut-allergy guests and we could not have asked for anything more! The menu included browned butter scallops with lemon risotto, beef tenderloin with fingerling potatoes, delicious family style asparagus and brussel sprouts, and so much more. They even created two perfect cocktails, a blackberry whiskey lemonade and elderflower gin sour. We would definitely recommend Root Cellar to anyone and really hope to come up with an excuse to work with them again.

chose to do their mac and cheese and southern BLT sliders for passed hors d'oeuvres during cocktail hour. Dinner was their salad, roasted chicken, garlic mashed potatoes, and green beans. The food tasted amazing at the tasting and just as good on our wedding day. They made sure that the bride and groom actually ATE, which usually doesn't happen. All of the leftover food was packaged up so that we could also eat it the next day...it was still just as good reheated! Every time a vendor asked who our caterer was they always said something about how delicious Root Cellar's food is and that we made a great choice by picking them. They were right and we couldn't have been happier with Root Cellar's communication, the food and service at the wedding, and doing it all during a pandemic!

tly on wedding day even with the sudden weather change! We relied on Root Cellar for literally everything and they didn’t miss a single detail. Thank you so much Root Cellar!
