My husband and I recently celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary and Steven's was on a list of approved caterers with our venue. As soon as we saw their menu and reviews we knew they were the right people to help make our vision come true. And we were right! Sarah Mendenhall was very responsive to all of our questions and suggestions and aptly guided our planning and choices. The staff at our event was so kind and professional and their attention to detail was superb. The presentation of the food was beautiful and as for the food, many of our 65 guests have still not stopped raving about it and several are already planning to use them for their own upcoming events. Thank you Steven's for making our party just what we wanted it to be!
We appreciate the hard work that Steven's Catering provided for our wedding day. Through the process, Steve & Sara (the office manager) was responsive and flexible regarding when to meet. We were able to try the food beforehand at no cost. In addition, Steve provided recommendations from the menu due to the certain costs during COVID-19. They ensured that the wedding reception went smoothly, and we received many compliments regarding the delicious food (especially the short ribs & mashed potatoes)!
Steven's Catering was absolutely wonderful for our wedding! We had a wedding with 200 guests in my parent's backyard and Steven and his team made everything so perfect. From the very beginning, Steven came to every meeting with our wedding planner (Red Letter Day Events), he was there while O'Neill tents set up the reception, and quickly responded to any text or call. The food was incredible - it was cooked on-site and each dish was delivered to each guest steaming hot. The service was amazing and every one of his servers/bartenders had a smile on their face the entire night and were kind to all of our guests. Every single guest could not stop talking about how wonderful the food was. Steven and his team will for sure be doing all of our events in the future! The whole evening went smoothly and I really could not recommend his catering business/team enough! You will not be disappointed in the high-end service and the delicious food!
Steven’s Catering was the perfect choice for our wedding! They were flexible and ensured we had the menu we dreamed about. Steve was very personable and responsive. Planning a wedding in 2020 has its own set of challenges, Steve and his team were just amazing every step of the way. The food was absolutely delicious! We wouldn’t have changed a thing! Thank you so much!
I couldn't have asked for more!! They will do whatever you need them to. The staff goes above and beyond and is so incredibly friendly. The food is amazing!!!
Steve and his team were great at our reception! The food they provided was absolutely amazing and everyone loved it! He and his staff made sure everything went smoothly and everyone was happy. We also used their services for bartending and they were very interactive and friendly. Highly recommend Steve and his team!
Great professionalism and personality! Steven really knows the business well! We had a great experience with them !
We used Steven's Catering for our wedding and could not have been happier with the experience. We gave him our budget at the start and he gave us several options to stay within it. He was always quick to respond to any communication and made sure we had all our questions answered prior to the big day. The food was absolutely wonderful (wedding guests are still talking about it a week later) and working with Steven and his team was a pleasure. His staff is incredibly friendly and made sure there was no hiccups during the reception. I highly recommend Steven's Catering for your wedding!!
Used Stevens catering this past Saturday for our wedding day and are so thankful we did!! Everyone loved the food as much as we did. Everyone we spoke to kept complementing on how delicious everything was and that made us so happy! We would recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing caterer! They also provided a bartender for us, Jeff, who was AMAZING! He made the night so fun for us!
Steven's Catering provided bar service for my wedding in May 2017 and it was such a great experience! Steven and his staff are incredibly accommodating. At one point in the evening, one of our chosen beverages ran out and they ran to the grocery store to pick up more. How thoughtful is that?! Anyone looking for great bartenders should definitely make an appointment with this company. I know I'm going to keep them in mind and hope I get to use their food services in the future too!
Steven was an absolute joy to work with! My husband and I couldn't have been happier with the service he provided. Steve went out of his way to make wedding planning easier for me. Steve himself even waited on us during our reception. Our guests absolutely raved about the food! His staff was exceptional- they cleared tables in an extremely timely fashion and the bartender was outstanding! I cannot say enough good things about Steven's Catering!
Our Venue only allowed certain vendors to use their facility. Out of all the vendors we decided to use Steven's Catering. The food was absolutely delicious and well worth their price. We chose pulled pork as our main dish. Everyone is still raving about this! Although I believe that Steven wasn't too happy with my now Husband and I because we were on a very strict budget and would get upset when we would control how the money was spent. Beyond that, the staff during our wedding were amazing they did a wonderful job!
I can't even count how many of our guests said that this was the best wedding food they have ever had...and we certainly agree! The food was delicious and Steven and his Staff were so helpful through the whole process!Steven prepared our sample (Which was huge!) for us in a "take home package," so we could really form our own opinions, which was super nice. Our reception was at the Amelita Mirolo Barn, an the food was delivered hot and fresh. We had two buffet lines and everyone was fed super quick. The staff made everything flow seamlessly and we couldn't have imagined a better experience!
Steven's Catering provided bar service for my wedding on 6/7/14. They were very accommodating to my limited budget when planning. The service was excellent on the day of our wedding. Jeff was the main bartender and he went above and beyond our expectations. I highly recommend their services.
There are not enough kind words for this company! Yes, I did have to meet with him to get a quote. HOWEVER, that was a lifesaver! We explained that we were working on a small budget and with very picky eaters. We went over options, and Stevens was the only caterer willing to WORK with us. All the other caterers I contacted just gave me their entree list and prices and did not seem flexible or even interested in my vision for the wedding.
Steven met my husband and I at a local coffee shop and we explained our vision. Steven told us that our budget, which other caterers stated simply was not enough for 100 people, was enough for an entree, vegetables, salad, pasta side, and additional appetizers and desserts! We were completely shocked. Then he offered to make us a sample package to taste the food before our final decision.
My parents and my husband went to pick up the food and Steven personally met them and even gave them a tour. They were so impressed with how clean and professional everything was! When we got home, we expected 1-2 servings of each item to try and were going to order a pizza to tide us over. We opened the bags and there were 4-6 servings of each item - including the entree! We ate like kings that night and loaded up the refrigerator. The food was AMAZING. We were astounded again.
The night of the wedding, Steven took care of everything for us. He brought linens and helped set everything up, kept checking on us throughout the night, and personally released tables to the buffet. The bartender who came with him was outstanding as well. As my husband stood milling about before the ceremony, the bartender approached him and asked him what we wanted in our hand as soon as it was done. Sure enough, he brought us too Yeunglings as soon as we were done and we skipped the line! Also, my dad asked him for a drink before the ceremony and he apologized and said, "I'm sorry but I'm only allowed to serve the bride and groom's parents right now." My father said, "That's great, because I AM the father of the bride!" They both had a good laugh out of it. Everyone was raving about the food, "not your typical wedding food, MUCH better", and the bartender all night. I'm so happy I gave Stevens a try.
Steven and his staff did an amazing job for our wedding. We were on a tight budget, and Steven did everything possible to make sure our day was perfect. The food was excellent. I liked that linens, dinner ware, and non alcoholic drinks were included. Steven was great with communicating details and very quick to respond to any questions we had. The staff who worked the wedding were friendly and professional. Jeff, our bartender had a great personality and everyone loved him. He even created a "to go" box for us to take home with beautiful note enclosed. I would recommend Stevens to anyone looking for a caterer.
I did not try the appetizers but I heard they were pretty good. We should have asked for non-smoking bartenders because ours kept taking smoke breaks. Steven helped us out last minute as a second caterer and we were thankful.
Steven's Catering was innovative. They created a great menu for our theme and the food itself was delicious. The service made me a little nervous since the communication lacked a little prior to the event. But overall it was decent. The food made up for any issues.
The catering staff attended to our every need from setting up to attending to our requests. They packed a to go box with a bottle of wine, beer, and food. The food was served quickly and tasted great.
The food was great and his staff is wonderful. The staff was very attentive and was noted by many of the guests and wedding party. We were on a tight budget and although it was a little more than anticipated it was worth it. The cost per head included food, non-alcoholic beverages,linens, china, glassware,labor and gratuity.
