Trumps Catering

t. In particular, Christina was great! She’s very helpful and quick with responses. On top of their customer service, the food is amazing!! Everything we ordered for our wedding buffet was so tasty. We received multiple commitments on it. The service staff who helped out day of our wedding was too notch. They were attentive without being pushy and very service oriented. Highly recommend them for your next big event!

even gave some to one of my guests. I received none. The event manager addressed a missing tip envelope (that was accidentally given to a bartender instead of a server) and interrupted me during my daughters send-off, right in front of my guests. I brought all of this , and more, to Trumps attention. Christina was the only one who responded. We never received apologies or any communication from the owners. The Food was excellent! No complaints at all. But for the $8300 that I paid for 181 guests, I expected more professionalism.

a later date that year. I changed my mind on the menu at least 3 times and in the end everything was perfect. They provided great service for our cocktail hour, reception and bar service. All of our guests loved all our food choices and I can't thank Trumps enough for the experience they provided for all of our guests.

were so impressed with everything that we had served at the wedding. Everyone we worked with was professional, helpful, and flexible with planning during a pandemic. They have so many options of food and meals to choose from to fit your budget and we highly recommend them!

and they all had far fewer menu options, were less experienced with how to set up and handle a non-traditional venue, and were a lot more expensive. When I found Trumps, I looked at their online reviews and review after review, brides/grooms said that their guests raved about Trumps catering. Given I couldn't remember the last time I raved about food at a wedding, I thought the reviews were exaggerated and too good to be true. But during our reception and even after the wedding, our guests consistently told us how great the food was and that the food was a highlight of the reception. During the planning, Trumps was super flexible in terms of requests and customizations (letting us swap out one protein for another, add tea to the hot chocolate and coffee specialty bar, change our menu and finalize headcount up until very late, and change bar / table / linens setups countless times). They were pros on wedding and catering best practices and were on top of every detail. We planned our wedding last minute and from out of state, so we had to trust and rely on our vendors more than most couples. But we completely lucked out by having Trumps cater our wedding. On the day of, in addition to putting together a tasteful brunch buffet, they also helped us execute a "cornucopia" spread that we designed and sourced ourselves. On top of it all, their staff was super respectful and professional the whole time. It was a complete treat and delight to work with Trumps. All of their positive reviews are well-deserved and hiring Trumps was the best decision I made for the wedding!

you're getting married at the Botans in Athens, choose Trumps!) and price alone (they were way more affordable than other vendors I got quotes from)... but I quickly learned that Trumps had so much more to offer. Andree is incredibly helpful, detail-oriented, patient and responsive. She always got back to e-mails almost immediately and often was available to meet or discuss ideas and details either by phone or in person. Due to venue and time restrictions, I had to have a quick room flip during cocktail hour, which made other vendors I talked to very nervous about, but Trumps was confident and they were able to pull it off. And the free tastings were a HUGE plus! My parents and I were very impressed. There were a few minor hiccups along the way and day-of such as having to revise our final proposal a few times due to not reading my emails carefully, having a different style of potatoes than we agreed on, and having less ice-cream than we requested (which we were refunded for, though). So I would say if you are extremely particular and are a perfectionist, just keep that in mind. But honestly, something is always going to go wrong on your wedding day so some of it is to be expected! Overall, it seemed my guests enjoyed the food and I would recommend Trumps in a heartbeat!

he actual waitstaff at the event. Their food was good (so I hear, as the bride I didn’t get a chance to eat much), and their bar service was excellent too! They are very reasonably priced compared to other caterers that serve the area, and it was so nice that they included everything (e.g., chair rentals, tablecloths, all types of tables needed, etc.) in their final quote to us. They also have worked extensively with many venues in the Athens, GA area, so they know their stuff when it comes to setup plans, etc. Overall very happy with them!

staff and everyone we dealt with at Trumps Catering from day one was super professional and incredibly helpful! We cannot say enough good things about our experience with them and would recommend them to anyone!

irs from another vendor. We loved that they set up a private table for us to eat before going into the reception and mingling with everyone. They also packed us food to go after. It was worth the peace of mind to know that they would handle setting up and cleaning up. We couldn’t recommend them enough.

ur guests couldn’t stop going back for seconds and thirds. Our goal was for them to remember the food, the booze and the dancing- Trumps helped us exceed that goal!

o make it perfect for everyone. When we couldn't make the season tasting, they went out of their way to make sure we could sit down with members of the team and pick out exactly what we wanted to eat. We got so many comments on how delicious the food was! On the day of the wedding, everyone was working hard making sure things were going off without a hitch. They paid special attention to my husband and 8, making sure our drinks were full and we had everything we wanted to eat. We used trumps for bartenders and flipping the room too, and they did it all perfectly!

t Trumps didn't just do food. They provided us with tablecloths, chairs, cake setup, and more. They did ALL of the set up and clean up. Andree met with us several times to make a perfect menu; I cannot praise them highly enough. Additionally, I bought some decorations and they offered to set them up for me which was so helpful since I didn't have a coordinator to help me. They made the venue look amazing. They also hosted our rehearsal dinner in their ballroom which was equally amazing. Trumps catering was the best decision I made in my wedding planning.

what we wanted at first. She helped us save money wherever possible while picking out an awesome menu. The staff did an awesome job of setting up and the cleanup after the wedding. The wait staff was AWESOME! They were so sweet and took great care of everyone at our reception. I can't even say enough about their food. We had so many people that wanted to know where we got the mac and cheese from because they wanted to go buy more! I include myself in that group because it was really good! We also had chicken tenders, mashed potatoes, stuffed pork loin, salad and green beans. Everything was delicious! I know catering can be expensive, but if you go with this company, they will not disappoint you. The quality and service were both above and beyond what I expected, and I would recommend them to anyone catering a formal event.

al options for room setup and food. The staff worked diligently to ensure that we had more then enough food, and that the taste would be even better then when we attended the tasting. The staff is easy to work with and provided a time for us to come and setup the day before the wedding.

rovide the bar option that worked best for us and our guests! My now-husband and I made it a point to eat, and the Trumps servers were so kind and attentive to ensure we got to enjoy our meal. The food was absolutely delicious, and all of our guests raved over it! All of the bartenders and servers were so kind to our guests, and we couldn’t have asked for better service! They packed meals for us to enjoy after, and the leftovers were just as delicious! We’re thankful to Trumps for helping make our wedding weekend perfect!

hour and it was a hit. They made my life easy & it was wonderful!

as spot on, making sure we were taken care of. The food was amazing, especially the corn souffle. Definitely recommend them and would use them again in a heartbeat!

d allergies and other guests as well! Then, the staff that were actually At the venue for our wedding were amazing. They took care of our plates and our guests. They insured we had food to go and were more than accommodating with every request. Highly recommend them for the price and quality of service!

The mashed potato bar, mac and cheese bar, sweet corn souffle, and the carved beef tenderloin were huge hits at the reception, and the summer squash casserole, fried chicken and white cheddar and green onion grits were the hits at the rehearsal dinner. Oh and one more thing about the rehearsal dinner, get the cupcakes with caramel filling and butter cream frosting...I'm pretty sure everyone had at least two. They were just so good!! The service was also superb. My new wife and I didn't have much time to eat, and the buffet line was pretty long, but the servers asked us what we wanted and brought us our food and drinks to our table so we wouldn't have to wait in line. It may have been a small gesture, but one that was greatly appreciated. They even packed us to-go plates for the wedding night. Overall, a very awesome job!

rovide us with vendors for furniture rentals. She went above and beyond for us. The food was beyond amazing and everyone loved it. The staff was very professional and there was never an empty container. All of our guests were full and happy. They were very reasonably priced and well worth it!

food is superb! Their head person that night thoughtfully packed two plates in case my new husband and I didn’t have enough to eat. Our guests raved about the selection, especially the crab dip appetizer and the beef. We had a minor hiccup but I think it was mostly due to a person at our venue and Trumps made things right again. Also, I highly recommend you do one of their semi-annual tasting events. The selection is excellent and they arrange for other local vendors to come and showcase their flowers, photography, cakes, etc.

s menu, but they were happy to work with me, and created delicious, beautiful, affordable food that we were proud to serve. Trumps also handled rentals for us (linens, etc. and different chairs), the bar, and event space clean up - everything went very smoothly! I highly recommend Trumps for your catering needs!

did a wonderful job setting up and were professional. They even sent my husband and I with to-go boxes!!!

uthern fare to match our theme, and everything was great. Our favorite was the corn casserole! They did have to travel from Athens to Madison, but the food was warm and tasty. As with most brides and grooms, we were made a plate ready at our table, but after so much visiting it had gotten cold. The staff didn't hesitate to bring us a new warm plate immediately. We also had a side plate with our yummy hors d'oeuvres that we couldn't enjoy during cocktail hour while we took photos. Plus, they packed us a perfect to-go plate, too. I was so overwhelmed with excitement and adrenaline, I barely ate! I was able to enjoy leftover wedding food, and it was STILL fantastic. As we were planning from out of state (living in Arkansas/wedding in Georgia), my mom and MIL were my go-to with coordination. This was a little frustrating as Trumps would ask me then I would defer to my MIL then her to me then back to Trumps. However, they were patient. It just felt like a lot got lost in translation. They did have staff turnover at one point, so a few of our messages were missed, but the owner Andre remedied everything quickly and professionally. They did miss my venue walkthrough but ONLY because the rep's car broke down. I got a phone call and email apologizing immediately, and they worked with my wedding coordinator and the venue to get everything handled on their time. If there was any issue at the wedding, it was transparent to my husband and me. Note in pricing: We paid for 120 guests. We also bought our own alcohol and only paid for bar set up.

and venue while keeping my budget in mind. The food was absolutely amazing! I would highly recommend them!

onderful at being flexible with the times we could go for a meeting and they made our reception look so professional! I am so thankful for the job Andree and her crew did. They even included a nice to-go box for my husband and me to have as we left for our honeymoon. We got married at the Botanical Gardens, and they know the venue very well which was great! My dad doesn't like cheese so they split the order of potatoes into half with cheese and half without for no charge. Another thing I love is that we had our wedding in the first half of the day and Trumps was also catering the wedding there that night. They made a deal so that if it rained that day (thankfully it didn't), the other bride and I could split the cost of the tent. They were in charge of any rentals necessary and they cleaned everything up afterwards, including the ceremony location. The food was a little fancier than I wanted so I was expecting it to not be quite as a good, but it was delicious southern cooking. Trumps was perfect for us!

utely beautiful! Trumps has a strong reputation in Athens, and they certainly did not disappoint. The catering director was quite helpful in our selection process, and she was very prompt in responding to emails and phone calls. I wish I could say the same for all of my wedding vendors!

ood was delicious and they will work with you to make your menu exactly what you want

e Andre. She was friendly, helpful, extremely easy to work with, and never pushed us to spend more or get more than we needed/ wanted. Every aspect our contract and what to expect on the day was very clearly explained and things couldn't have run smoother. We had an extremely delicious and elegant brunch reception and the staff there on the day was a joy to work with. Even though we had a buffet style meal, the coordinator there from Trumps saw that my elderly grandmother was unable to see or walk to serve herself and served that table without any prompting from us. I cannot possibly give Trumps a high enough recommendation. Everything was delicious, beautiful, and just an overall great experience. Trumps also did our wedding and grooms cakes and even though my husband and I were fairly indecisive and running behind (surely we didn't make things easy), they made everything work beautifully. They even helped us add cake pulls to the cake which was a very important personal touch for us. PS The cake baker doesn't use fondant, only butter cream and it looks as smooth and flawless and fondant, it was so delicious!!!!

on the delicious taste!

the huge dome ceiling they have above the built in dance floor that has fiber-optics to resemble a starry sky. It was very beautiful and unexpected for guests. The food was also amazing. We went with the a la carte hors d'oeuvres menu, which was cheaper. We loved that it was served as a buffet, so no one knew the difference and could still get as many platefuls as they wanted. The staff was very nice and helpful. They even send the bride and groom home with dinner and cake as well as a bottle of champagne which we appreciated.

to try anything until the night of! It was fantastic. I am never a fan of mass produced food - you can't help but to make things soggy, etc but their food was not this way! It was all very fresh and was suitable for 150 people buffet style! Perfect!

! A++ I would recommend them to anyone for any event in or around the Athens, GA area. The food was fresh, the bar service was speedy, and the cake was delicious. They even provided our linens for the reception. The cost was very reasonable when considering everything that came with the total amount!

est in town and also a very reasonable price.

our guests. Overall the quality was excellent but we could have paid less elsewhere for just as good food.

and made great choices on the areas where I left it up to them. They were very reliable and arrived when they said they would, and the staff was always very nice and wanting to make it perfect for us. Highly recommend! We also had an easy menu so it was pretty cheap for us.

ng and cleaned up everything so it was hassle free for us. I would definitely recommend them to other people.

tizers, and seated menu for + or - 90 people was around $3000! I wish I had met with the wedding coordinator before my wedding since she had her own schedule in place which was different from the one I had created for my outside venues (causing some confusion); however, the reception was still beautiful and no one really noticed. Most people enjoyed the food as well, only some complained that the beef was a little dry. The turkey was wonderful!

ickly.
