TFM is a top notch catering company! From the moment we inquired, to days AFTER our wedding, they were hands down the best! Their communication was professional, timely, and thorou...
gh! They switched the menu around many many times to help fit my budget better because, as the bride, I was very indecisive about what we were going to serve. The food was phenomenal! People a month later are still raving about it! The employees working our wedding were so helpful, respectful, and ready to step in wherever we might have needed them! They were all such hard workers, asking where they could help out at! They brought us a snack basket with lots of goodies in it to keep around in case we needed it! I just can’t put into words how impressed I was with the overall service! Thank you Karen, Brenda, and staff for this amazing experience. You were a large factor in making my wedding everything I could have ever dreamed of! You rocked it! I can’t thank you enough!
Two Fat Men Catering truly exceeded our expectations. From the start, we knew the food was going to be good, but they completely blew us away. Everything was delicious, beautifully...
presented, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about it.
From the tasting to the big day, the team was professional, friendly, and so easy to work with. They helped us build a menu that felt true to us and worked seamlessly with our venue and timeline. Every detail was taken care of, and we never had to worry about a thing.
On the wedding day, the service was excellent and everything came out perfectly. Our guests were blown away, and we were too. It was some of the best food we’ve ever had at a wedding, and we’re not just saying that because it was ours.
We’re so glad we chose Two Fat Men. They played a huge part in making our day feel special and unforgettable.
Food was wonderful! My guests kept complimenting it. Good pricing and Karen was great at getting back to me when I had questions. The staff was accommodating the day of as well.

menu or guest count were easily accommodated and the day of service was phenomenal. All my guests are still talking about how amazing the food was - if you're looking for options, I highly recommend the cornbread crusted chicken! They also are able to provide an excellent bar tending service! They even helped me with the cake cutting and provided the knife and cutting set, which saved me on some costs. All around, a wonderful company to work with; they really did go above and beyond. The food, staff and service were all top notch and I very highly recommend.

esentation miraculous! The food tasted amazing!
We started off our 4 course meal with salad sculptures on each plate. Mini watering cans even provided dressing for each guest. Our main course consisted of 3 entrees! Pasta. Chicken. Beef Tenderloin. Ed even replicated my mom's special brown sauce and he nailed it spot on!! The cheese course and dessert were perfect and completed the amazing meal!
Throughout the night, Two Fat Men's staff was catering to every need. They were extremely friendly and made sure that everything went smoothly.
I can highly recommend this group to anyone and look forward to hosting another event in the future and will definitely use 2FM again!!
