I had a fantastic experience with this catering company. Everything agreed upon was there and delicious. They took care of everything so smoothly! My guests were very happy.
I could not be happier with our decision to work with TCP for our wedding day. They were so communicative with us throughout the entire planning process (I changed the menu several...
times and they were so flexible). They were also very flexible with us when it came to the overall cost and were just so easy to work with. We also had a mini emergency 6 days before the wedding as our cocktail hour food fell through, and TCP saved us by allowing us to add a cocktail hour option super last minute. The food was also incredible. I'm not kidding when I say we received so many compliments from our guests on the food. My husband and I have been eating it as leftovers as well and I'd argue the food is even better reheated the next day! Overall, very happy with our experience with TCP and would highly highly recommend them.
I highly recommend TCP Catering! Scott spent a lot of time explaining everything to me in an initial phone call and was very professional and easy to work with the whole time. He a...
nd his staff provided a tasting for four of us which included several options of hors d’oeuvres, main entrees, sides, and dessert. Everything we tasted was delicious! Scott was very patient with all my emails and phone calls during the several months leading up to the wedding and his prices are very reasonable. His staff the day of the wedding was very friendly and professional and the food was outstanding! We have received many compliments from guests and family who attended the wedding, many saying it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding. His staff packed up extra food for us at the end of the night and even packed food for the bride and groom to have upon arriving at their hotel, which was a very nice touch! I highly recommend this company for any catering needs!
Scott and his team did an AMAZING job on our wedding. From the first communication to the event execution, TCP was fabulous. Everyone loved the food at our wedding, because it was ...
delicious! When we went in for our tasting, we we're so excited about all the yummy food we got to taste, it was hard to choose since we loved it all.
We went with bruschetta chicken with white cheddar mac and cheese and some other yummy sides. Of course, TCP also took care of our hor dourves and cake cutting. They made our night easy so we can relax and enjoy.
Overall, I couldn't recommend them enough. From great communication, affordable prices, delicious food, and awesome service, TCP was it!
We used TCP for our wedding day catering and loved EVERY bite. Our tasting with them was a WIDE variety of options that really gave us a good grasp for the culinary talent Scott's...
team has.
We worked closely with Mallory on his team to ensure that guest counts were finalized, final payments were made, and that everything was to our liking. Our guests raved about the food (especially the roast and mac and cheese - to DIE for). We did buffet style but, having a lovely coordinator who grabbed our meals for us, we did not interface with the staff (so I cannot speak to that experience)! Everything was bussed in a timely manner and seemed to go very smoothly! Overall, we loved the food and were SO happy to see our guests so content with the meal provided.
First off, I would not be writing this negative review if a sense of accountability or remorse was shown by the owner Scott as we contacted him first.
The best part of our experie...
nce with TCP was the tasty food. We fell in love with our chosen dishes during our tasting with Jennifer. She was amazing.
To say the service and communication was lacking is an understatement.
We were contracted to provide a final head count 10 days prior to the event and final payment 7 days prior to the event. Honestly, if my wife was not as organized and hadn't had reminders to follow up, I don't think Scott would have ever reached out to confirm whether we were going to pay or not. Yes, he was responsive when we reached out each time, but it's the fact we had to reach out to him about money for his business.
More lack of communication was shown the day of the event. The catering staff was punctual, but didn't connect with us at all. When we brought this up to the owner, he stated that they connected with the venue staff as they worked with the venue fairly often and try to remain less intrusive to the Bride, Groom, etc. I'm sure some may enjoy this method, but it didn't rub us the right way as WE were the ones paying them and counting on service, not the venue staff.
During the reception they made sure to serve the wedding party first as expected with any wedding. There were many people raving over the food and wanted more right after their first plate but unfortunately, the food disappeared, but not because it was all eaten. It was because the staff had already packed it up and placed it in the fridge. The contracted time for them to leave was 9pm. Scott defended that staff left at 8:45ish. Our guest, wedding party, and even his employee Mallory, during our conference phone call, stated that the van left at 7:15 which obviously means the food had to be broken down before that. Our first plates were served around 6:45 . You do the math!
Between the two of us we have 10 years of service experience in the food and beverage industry. Our phone call to Scott was only to give our perspective and advise on how we could have been provided with better service. We were only met with rebuttals and no effort to be receptive.
They are probably great to cater a lunch meeting, but I wouldn't count on them for something that should be as important, memorable, and EXPENSIVE as a wedding until better forms of communication are set even if it is just a questionnaire sent to couples prior to the event about preferences. I hope this review helps this business because we see potential, and we truly want all the success for them! They have great food and great prices, but service, communication, and accountability lacked and that's where we draw the line.
Excellent wedding caterer! Great price & cleanup included! Guests raved about our food!
WOW wow wow!! We booked TCP Catering for our wedding, and the food was the top thing we have heard from our guests about the night. The food was absolutely delicious, especially ...
the truffle butter mac and cheese. Scott and Mallory were amazing to work with and they were super responsive to emails and changes. We were able to snag some leftovers and are SO excited about it!
TCP catering went above and beyond for us. We shopped around and they seemed too good to be true with the budget we were working with but they delivered and then some! Many of our ...
guests brought up how good the food was even several months after our wedding and all the staff that they brought with them were very courteous and professional. If we have another large event to be catered, they’ll be at the top of our list.
Overall we had a great experience with TCP Catering. They wowed us at their tasting with several huge plates of food and various dishes to try. The food was delicious. Scott was ve...
ry communicative throughout. On our wedding day, the staff was great and the food was fantastic. My reason for putting 4 stars instead of 5 is accommodating 1 vegetarian guest was more difficult than anticipated. In addition, we had a fairly significant price hike from our original quote to the final contract due to a price increase that happened in between those two time periods and additional labor needed to support our venue. All that to say, the food and service is great and I would recommend TCP for other weddings.
TCP Catering and staff are amazing! Best decision for our wedding day food services!
Prior to wedding day, the staff interactions with us were timely, professional, and invested in...
aligning with our desires for our hors d'oeuvres and plated dinners. Additionally, Mr. Vickers and his team developed a delicious pepper sauce for our guests, and many have complimented it and wanted the recipe!
The staff was very engaged with serving our guests, kind, and professional on our big day. We could not be more pleased that TCP Catering for our wedding day and 10/10 recommend using their services for your wedding or event!
Those at the wedding who got warm food said it was delicious. The wedding party, my husband, his mom, & got cold food. We also paid for chips & salsa and extra queso - no salsa or ...
queso at all.
We booked them for our wedding, found out serving staff broke one of our glass candles, and fell in the salad, one of our bridesmaids had glass in the salad, and the serving staff ...
ignored it, and didn’t want to prepare another one. They ran out of appetizers, we only had about 98 people at our wedding. They spilled wine on a guest, they didn’t cut and serve the cake like we asked them to, then they placed it outside when instructed to serve to each guest. The rolls were stale and hard, steaks were cooked inconsistently. And we asked for vegan meals didn’t get those, also had gluten free request, servers didn’t even know if the meal was gluten free and gave us attitude. 🤷♀️ maybe it was an off night, just sucks cause they were highly recommended. Oh and the chargers were not the ones i had requested. Even though that’s not that big of a deal.
We loved TCP food so much that we ended up canceling our other taste-testing appointments and booked with them later the same week! It made us so happy when people came up to us sa...
ying they loved the food and asked if they could get seconds.
TCP catering was so yummy!! They worked with me on my budget and were patient with my food changes and requests. The food tasting was so much fun and it was great to meet everyone ...
in person! You can tell they really care about the food they serve.
I received many compliments on the food and especially the baked Mac and cheese! My husband and I were so busy, we didn’t have a chance to eat the appetizers, but the on site caterers made sure we got a plate without even asking! They were on top of everything!! I would strongly recommend their services. It was worth every dollar.
TCP was easy, professional, and personal to work with from start to finish! My daughter and her husband loved their tasting. Scott spent 45 minutes on the phone with me (MOB) one...
day as we discussed details of working at a venue that would be a first time for them. But it’s all about the food, right? The charcuterie grazing table was wiped clean it was so good! We really liked that TCP offers a self-serve buffet so guests can get their food quickly. In comparing prices, we could get two entrees where other companies would only offer one entree. The food, service, and clean up was great. I’m very happy with TCP as our choice.
We were the planners for our client's wedding on April 23rd and had the pleasure of working with TCP Catering! They were extremely accommodating and punctual! We definitely hope to...

TCP catering did catering at my wedding two days ago and the guests all raved about how delicious the food was, and it was!! We used them for cocktail hour and dinner and they did ...
a phenomenal job. They are by far the one vendor who knocked it out of the park with communicating and they helped me execute on the wedding of my dreams. They also do free tastings before and we loved that experience and the whole setup that they had. For dinner we had the brown sugar pork loin and Mediterranean chicken and the food was amazing. Thank you TCP catering for all of your hard work. We highly recommend.

tell that Scott truly loves being a part of your wedding day and treats you as more than just a transaction. My guests are still talking about their Dr. Pepper meatballs...and it's been a month since the day!

nding people to work with!
My now husband and I were super excited about booking with TCP. We met Danny and had a pleasant sit down with about the menu and what was to be included when booking with them. One...
thing we asked him was if the staff would be able to help clean up or serve when time came for the toast (just pass out bottles). He said if it was done within that time frame that yes it would be something he would tell his staff to help with. Fast forward day of the wedding. As soon as the staff was done serving, I kid you not they packed up and we’re ready for payment. They made such a scene when my brother in law and sister tried to tell them what Danny had said. (They left well before they said they would). The staff told me brother in law and my sister they weren’t told to do that and wouldn’t do it. Needless to say they came to some agree to help at least clear of some plates. They dragged around a huge trash can going from table to table in the middle of our first dance with such a horrible attitude I was told by several guests. Overall it wasn’t a good experience. Really disappointed in the service and the food was alright it wasn’t how it was when we had tried it.
We hired TCP for our daughter’s wedding. From the tasting appointment to the wedding, Scott and his amazing staff are top notch.
I had concerns about running out of appetizers, si...
nce the last 2 weddings we went to ran out of appetizers. So we added one more appetizer and Scott assured me we will not run out! Not only did we have plenty, all my guest raved about how delicious they were.
The dinner was amazing, not your typical wedding food. A step above! Everyone enjoyed it and we received raved reviews!
Job well done TCP.
I will use them in the future.
First and foremost food was delicious. The set up team came in pulled everything together and it went perfect. A wonderful time was had by all and the compliments on the food were ...

d cost cutting suggestions, and was open to anything we wanted. The food tasted great, was presented well, and we had plenty of it for our guests. I received lots of feedback from wedding guests on how great the food was. The staff the night of the event were all polite, well dressed, and were attentive and thoughtful towards our guests. I will definitely use them for any future catering needs and would highly recommend them.
Scott stuck with us through three different wedding dates (two reschedules due to COVID) and was so accommodating while we tried to make this thing happen. The food was absolutely ...
delicious. Everyone at the reception kept commenting on how good it was - and not just for wedding food. It’s just plain delicious. They made sure my husband and I had some hors d’oeuvres at the head table in case we didn’t get any during the cocktail hour. The salmon canapés were absolutely delicious, as well as the brie tarts and chicken wings. The catering staff were friendly and attentive, making sure that all of our guests were served timely and with the kindest attitudes. Thank you for the excellent service and patience!
The food was good but the head server, Danny would not wear a mask during our event citing a medical condition. Also, I had to go find him and ask to have the rest of the tables cl...
eared -almost 1/2 of the tables had about 1/2 of the plates and flatware left on them. He told me they tried to clear them but people were still eating. He had sent all the servers home. They packed up everything including all the drinks 90 minutes before the wedding ended and left saying that their contract ended at cake cutting. He was very nice to deal with up until the event and then had an attitude anytime anyone asked about something.

cess. Highly recommended for any future brides!
great food! The steak and chicken was delicious. Danny was great to work with, as a wedding planner I always appreciate professional caterers!
I cannot recommend TCP Catering highly enough. They are your ideal wedding vendors--prompt, communicative, and transparent. They were by far our favorite vendors to work with from ...
the start because they don't fuss about the little things. When I explained to one of their staff I was hoping to have real china at my wedding, he was happy to provide it--but also tried to talk me into the cheaper disposable option. He had no reason to do this except to save us money. When COVID wrecked our original April 2020 wedding, Scott replied to our request to change our date very simply and said to let him know about our new date--he was grateful for our business and wouldn't fuss or charge us extra. He kept to this promise even when new COVID regulations required him to supply extra staff at our wedding and increased his costs. Oh, and finally--the food was just tasty. We didn't end up serving it at our wedding, but the broccoli casserole is DELICIOUS and tasted straight out of grandma's kitchen.
Choosing TCP Catering for our daughter's wedding was one of the best decisions we made! It's no wonder they came highly recommended! Our friends and family are still talking abou...
t the delicious food! Scott and his staff were so professional and easy to work with. They were very easy to communicate with from start to finish. They made us feel so at ease that everything was taken care of. Scott even went above and beyond helping with a few things that didn't actually fall under his responsibilities. We will definitely turn to them again in the future, and tell everyone needing a caterer to use TCP!!
I cannot speak highly enough for the amazing team at TCP, their food is incredible and the team is so professional! If you want incredibly prepared food and a team that makes sure ...
everyone is fed in a timely manner, they are your team. Every guest was raving about the food and wanted seconds! I will definitely use them for any future event!
Just wanted to say Thank You to you and your staff at TCP Catering. You all did an amazing job and the food was absolutely wonderful. Your staff was friendly and courteous as wel...
l. Friends and family raved about how good the food tasted and how it didn't taste like your typical cafeteria food. So many people went back for seconds and even thirds (including our 3 teenage grandsons).
We will definitely recommend you to anyone looking for a catering co. to cater their next big event.
Thank you again for the top notch commitment you and your staff put into making our daughter and son in law's day extra special. We couldn't have done it without you!!

f. Scott and then team were highly experienced, responsive, and accommodating to our needs. They went out of their way to make sure the event perfect, and this was especially tough since our wedding was cancelled a week before because of the pandemic. You could not go wrong with TCP catering, and we would highly recommend them for all your wedding and catering-related needs!

pandemic with so many changes even right up until the day of the wedding. We had to cancel our first date and scott made us our wedding meal on the original Saturday. My guests were still talking about the food the next day. His staff also did a top notch job keeping the tables bussed and were all so nice. 10/10 would use Scott and TCP again!!

TCP catering and Scott were phenomenal. During our wedding week, we decided to cancel our large wedding that was set to take place at the Omni in Dallas. We opted for a more intima...
te wedding to ensure the safety our guests during this crazy pandemic. My parents offered their backyard and we invited 120 guests. Needless to say, we were stressed about finding a caterer on such short notice. I called Scott the week of the wedding, we planned a menu on the phone, he gave me a quote and he schedule a tasting, all within one hour. After we tasted the food and met with Scott, we knew TCP was our caterer. Scott and his team delivered as promised. Our guests loved everything from the appetizers to the main course. During such a stressful time in our lives (especially due to COVID-19), Scott ensured that the food was one thing we did not have to stress about! Thank you, TCP!!
Tcp was our chosen caterer for our wedding. We had a tasting and signed a contract with them the next day. The food was great; very flavorful and good quality.
unfortunately due ...
to covid19 we had to cancel that large, traditional wedding that required a caterer. when we called to cancel the event with tcp, they were completely understanding, and gave us the entire amount of money we paid them back - no hassle, and, they were sympathetic, too, which was very heart warming. when the refund check came, there was a handwritten note elaborating on the sympathy they had for us. 100% would use tcp again for any catering we need in the future. thank you very much, Scott.
We worked with Scott for our wedding and was extremely happy we went with TCP as our caterer for the big day. He was extremely helpful and responsive through the entire process. Th...
e team was on time, prepared and provided outstanding service to our guests. The food was great and all of our guests loved it. His ability to deliver great customer service made our day that much better! Thank you Scott!
Working in the wedding industry already, you very easily decide which vendors you want to contribute to your special day. Scott Vickers was my main point of contact in planning my ...
own wedding in September of 2019. He had just catered my brothers wedding in April and at no point was I concerned about the menu options, pricing, or Scott's willingness to deliver the highest level of customer service and again, he and his team exceeded my expectations on wedding day. They were present on time and on the ball to meet both vendors and guests needs, providing gluten free meals for my band, the most beautiful fruit cheese and hors d'oeuvres display ever, and passed delicious appetizers and bites that guests raved about all night! His pricing is consistently fair and he is always transparent in what is included. He is actually catering my brother in-law's wedding in two weeks and we will continue to use TCP for any and every event for his professionalism and reliability.
Clearly I’m not the only one this has happened to seriously check the reviews. These businesses can have people do reviews for them and also have the option to dispute reviews whic...
h makes them 4-5 stars.
Lack of consideration, communication and professionalism. This was a recommended caterer from my BOOKED venue. This person Scott Vickers was absolutely rude. Basically told me that December 2021 is popular for them and don’t need my business. Granted my little black face is attached to my email. I don’t mind being direct. But the lack of professionalism and understanding is ridiculous. I have reached out through 3 different avenues unintentionally so it is understandable to get lost in emails. This person even said that they assumed that I was able to get them. This process is stressful already and I would think a caterer since 1970s would understand that. But no! Don’t waste your time here.
The website is decent and they were one of my top choices. The pictures online do not match what’s listed on the online menu. HENCE THE EMAIL REQUEST FOR A FULL MENU. An ugly person inside is also an ugly person on the outside.
Probably the easiest vendor we worked with through everything. An absolute easy, book it, and don't even think about it until the wedding day. On top of having great food, it's jus...
t nice to know you're working with good people. Scott is one of the nicest most genuine people I've had the pleasure of meeting. Super happy to have worked with them.
