rocess. The food and service we received on my wedding day was second to none. I received countless compliments on the food, even from my vegetarian friends. Pricing was reasonable and fit my needs. The entire process with Uptown Catering was seamless, and I appreciated Paul's support with linens, real silverware, cake cutting services and more. I cannot express enough how thankful I am that my husband and I chose to use Uptown Catering for our special day. Thanks to Paul and the entire Uptown Catering staff for their flawless execution!

We worked with Paul at Uptown Catering and had a very delicious meal. We had salmon and vegetarian options - both of which were a hit. We opted for a plated meal - the staff was efficient and our guests (as well as myself and the groom) were ve...
ry satisfied. We had planning conversations with Paul who helped us create our menu and a week before the wedding had a final call with Paul and my day-of coordinator to ensure all details were covered. We could not have been happier with the food.
Due to the pandemic, we had to reschedule our wedding multiple times. Through all the planning and re-planning, Paul stayed with us until we were finally able to celebrate 15 months later. The food as excellent, and we greatly appreciated how...
the support staff respected our requests for masking to help maintain a COVID free environment.

ver this past Labor Day weekend on a Sunday. He worked seamlessly with our event coordinator and with his staff to make sure that it was as easy as possible for myself and my wife. I couldn't recommend Uptown catering enough. I wish I had used them for my rehearsal dinner as well!
Paul at Uptown Catering was so awesome to work with! He was proactive from the get-go in getting us a catering quote to meet our needs/budget, creating a menu, and confirming availability for our wedding date. He really made the process so easy...
with us planning our wedding in Traverse City (at BlueBridge) from Chicago! We got married over Labor Day weekend 2021 and our guests are still raving about the food that we served. The times we went into the restaurant to meet with Paul were always a delight too - the Feta Spinach artichoke dip is to die for, will be returning for years to come to have that when we are in town. We definitely would recommend working with Paul and having Uptown Catering for your wedding needs in Traverse City, MI area. The attention to detail, professional service, and delicious food went above and beyond our wedding day expectations! Our only regret is not having him cater our wedding rehearsal dinner too. Thanks, Paul + Uptown Catering!!
Long story short: Stop your search and choose Uptown Catering!
Long story long: Food aside, Paul is one of the most pleasant, compassionate people to work with. With every phone call, every email exchange, every text, you know that he really c...
ares about you and your event; he wants nothing more than for you to have an incredible time and is glad to be a part of it.
Thanks to COVID, we had the opportunity to work with Paul not once, but twice...and in three capacities! We originally had our wedding scheduled for June 2020. We met with Paul, sampled all the foods, loved them ALL, and had the hardest time deciding on a menu because of the incredible variety available to us. After everything was locked in and ready to go, COVID hits and Paul reschedules us without missing a beat. We still had a ceremony with our immediate family in June and he was so flexible in helping us get set up with just enough delicious food for our guests.
Wedding round two comes around in August 2021 and he is still just as accommodating as the first. So much so that we decided to use him for our rehearsal dinner as well. The gyro bar was an incredible hit and was more than enough to fill all our bellies. Paul was swamped with events on our wedding weekend but you never would have known. Somehow he makes time for them all and makes them each feel like they are priority number 1.
On the big day we had such fantastic service, everyone working the wedding was unbelievably kind. I lost count of how many people sang praises of the food and bar service. I would recommend Uptown Catering a million times over if I had to. Give them a call and find out for yourself!
We used UpTown Catering for our Covid wedding and the food was incredible! Paul was amazingly helpful and allowed us to use his hotboxes in order to keep the food warm since we were not able to have caterers at the reception. There were tons of...
leftovers, and we fought over them the entire following weekend.
Paul was extremely helpful at our tasting helping us to decide each meal and worked with us to find what fits best. My parents are extremely picking and they LOVED both Paul and the food.
Paul is always responds timely and is more than helpful. We loved the food so much we are using Uptown catering at our next wedding!

All I can say is WOW and amazing! We used them for our wedding. I did a lot of research to choose the best company for catering. I heard good reviews about Uptown but was blown away with the service and how delicious the food tasted. Paul, ...
the owner, was an excellent communicator throughout the process. We had brisket, lemon chicken, penne pasta with veggies. I am so glad I picked Uptown for my big event. Pick them for your next event and you will not be disappointed!!! Will use again.

The BEST option for your wedding caterer. The owner, Paul, is organized, professional, and communicative. Uptown has several packages and options that work with any budget. He was able to make a special meal to accommodate a vegan guest. On t...
he day of the wedding, the staff was professional, friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. The food was hands down the best wedding food I've ever had. I received lots of compliments about the food - both the appetizers and the dinner. The food was delicious, fresh, seasoned perfectly, and colorful.
Worth every penny and total life savers! We were out of state so we were unable to meet in person prior to our wedding. Paul was very helpful, worked with us on our budget and accommodated our schedule.. Paul and his team, executed our wedding ...
day perfectly. We had a couple last minute issues with the venue. Paul, his wife and team took charge and fixed everything for us. They took all the stress a way. The staff was kind and very helpful. Our guests loved the food. Everything was fresh and delicious! We are very thankful to Paul and his team for making our day stress free and delicious!
Paul and his team went above and beyond helping us with our wedding reception and our rehearsal lunch. Everything was delicious, our guest all commented on how delicious the food was. Their appitizers disappeared within moments and were such a ...
huge hit. Paul did so much to work with us for our day, he truly made it a point to make sure we had an amazing wedding and not just a business transaction. Couldn't imagine having gone with anyone else for our big day.
Paul and his team did a wonderful job. He is thorough in his communications and honest when answering questions. Most importantly, I did not have to worry about anything during my wedding even though I did not work with a planner/coordinator....
His team took care of everything and was incredibly concise and polite. We selected a buffet option and the food was fantastic. Highly recommend Uptown!
Paul and his crew catered and provided bar-tending service for our wedding a couple weeks ago in Traverse City and we could not have asked to work with more wonderful people. The food was absolutely delicious (we had MULTIPLE guests come up and...
tell us how much they enjoyed it) and the whole staff was so genuine, helpful, and sweet. We could not have asked for a more sincere, talented, and helpful group of people to help us celebrate our day.
Paul is wonderful at communicating with you throughout the whole process and does his best to take care of all your requests. We even had a couple of special need orders for a few guests (vegan, gluten-free) and they were all taken care of perfectly.
Highly recommend! Food was amazing and service as well! The bartenders and servers helped cleaned up! They provided linens, glasses, plates, and, silverware which some caterers in TC it’s hard to come by. We’re great to work with and prices wer...
e great! Everyone keeps talking about how good our food was!
Uptown Catering did a wonderful job! From the start, Paul and his staff were very professional. They created a custom menu for us and were mindful of our budget. During our food tasting, Paul went above and beyond to give us a taste of the fab...
ulous food! The day of the wedding, their staff was easy to work with! The bartender was so friendly and easy-going! And the food...AMAZING! We had a flavorful salmon, a yummy beef tenderloin, and a tasty eggplant and zucchini vegetarian option. The appetizers were the star of the show - a feta dip that is lick-your-fingers-good and beautiful fruit, veggie, cheese, and meat displays! Just a note: make sure to communicate with Uptown Catering about timeline for serving guests so that arrangements can be made to serve food accordingly! Overall, I highly recommend Uptown Catering!
Uptown Catering did a phenomenal job and I would absolutely recommend them to any couples in the future! Paul was wonderful to work with - responsive, interested in what we wanted, and very passionate about providing the best possible meal for ...
our guests. Not only was the food delicious, but the set up was beautiful and his staff went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect. My husband and I underestimated a couple of bar items and one of the staff members made a quick run to the store to make sure things continued to run smoothly. We also had his food a two weddings later in the season and it was just as great. If I could give more than 5 stars I would - hats off to Uptown!
For me, FOOD was the MOST important part of the wedding planning process....being a foodie with foodie friends and relatives, I had high standards for my caterer (and I've attended enough weddings where the food was not to par). After talking, ...
meeting, and tasting Paul's delicious appetizers and entrees, I KNEW we had found our caterer! Having an outdoor, destination wedding in Northern, Michigan created many problematic scenarios, but with Paul's guidance and support, our wedding was everything we wanted it to be and more! Paul created a customized menu and provided a wonderful service team that enabled our guests to be wined and deliciously dined throughout the course of the reception. Thanks Uptown Catering TC!
We had Uptown TC cater our wedding 8/19. Paul was GREAT to work with! Very responsive and worked with us to find a perfect meal for our guests within our price point. Him and his team were very organized and professional. I couldn't have asked ...
for more from a caterer. The food was delicious - our guests are still raving about it! I would recommend Uptown TC over and over again!
Uptown did an excellent job catering our wedding at Ciccone Vineyard and Winery in Suttons Bay! The food was delicious and well-prepared, and the guests made it through the buffet line quickly and efficiently. Paul was accommodating, generous, ...
and professional. He even found a vendor for the catering tent when I realized (quite close to the wedding day) that I had forgotten to reserve one. We were very happy with our choice of a caterer and we would recommend Uptown Catering to couples getting married in Northern Michigan.
Uptown Catering catered for my January 2016 wedding and did an absolutely amazing job! All of our guests raved about the food, the setup was flawless, it could not have been better. They really worked with us and our price range to make it bene...
ficial for us, and genuinely cares to make this everything that we wanted. Our open bar ran out if rum about an hour in and they went out (on their own) and purchased more rum at no cost to us. They helped flip the room from ceremony/dinner/reception and do so quickly and without a hitch. Uptown catering helped to make our day that much more amazing and I would recommend them to everyone looking to Wed in the TC area. Absolutely amazing, hats of to you guys!
