Vibrant Occasions Catering

Can’t say enough about Vibrant Occasions…Mary was so helpful and easy to work with and the food was top notch!! We had so many compliments on the food from our wedding guests and her staff was so nice and helpful! Absolutely perfect!!

Vibrant Occasions provided the catering for my 125-guest wedding on 11/11/2023. The food and service were absolutely divine!! Our cocktail hour included the mini-italian meatballs, cheese-stuffed mushrooms, Mac & Cheese 'Tini, and a large charcuterie board. For the entrees we selected the garden salad, bread rolls, caprese chicken, pork tenderloin with chasseur, stuffed acorn squash, harvest vegetables, tri-color roasted potatoes. For dessert we had the berry pana cotta, milk chocolate truffle, and our wedding cake. The big talk about our wedding was how wonderful the food was and how much there was! We were repeatedly told that the food was the BEST they had ever had and my husband and I completely agree! Everyone at Vibrant Occasions was a pleasure to work with! When we did our tasting, we gave feedback on the chicken and they worked to improve it and allowed us to return to re-try it and it was perfection! We plan to ask for the recipes so we can recreate our magical experience on our anniversary!

These people are outstanding! They are so easy to communicate with, the service is amazing, and the food was to die for. All my guests wouldn't stop complimenting every aspect of the food during and after the wedding.

Vibrant Occasions to a phenomenal job at my daughters wedding. The food was terrific, the service was fantastic, and everyone left the party raving about the food and service. I would recommend using them again and again.

The shrimp and grits and beef brisket were amazing! Our rehearsal dinner guests loved all of the food. Mande and Janis were awesome. They set everything up and cleaned it all up like they were never there. They went above and beyond in their service. Will be using. Vibrant Occasions again.

Good Morning! Mrs. Mary…I truly don’t know where to begin, other than to say Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! for making our daughters wedding day so special. Working with you was such a wonderful experience & took so much stress off of my husband & I. I don’t know if we will ever be able to thank you enough. We couldn’t have pulled this off without you and Surge along with your phenomenal team. Everything was just perfect. We couldn’t have picked a better catering company. All of our guests absolutely LOVED the food & we’re constantly coming over to us and bragging about your company and staff. I know they all will be talking about this wedding for years to come. Thank you so much for offering your publicist. That is so kind of you. Yes, we are interested in having everything published. From the very beginning we started calling our main vendors for this wedding “The Dream Team” and it was an absolute perfect fit for all of you. I will have Micahla, our photographer send everything over once she gets the pictures ready. Thank you again for everything! Respectfully, Doris Callender

Jordan & I were married on June 11th. We can’t thank you guys enough for the wonderful experience during our wedding reception. Your team was so professional. You left the venue in pristine condition. We received so many compliments on brinner (breakfast for dinner). The quality and amount were complimented as well. Your team took great care of the two of us. We loved our intimate meal together before the reception and our to go meal the next day. Plus your sweet team took care of packing up the wedding cake and donating it. Truly THE BEST!

Let me preface my long-overdue review with this...having a "destination" wedding is very difficult when you don't know the area, the vendors, etc. But Leah and Serge couldn't have made it any easier for us! Our daughter was married at Legacy Acres in February, and we hired Vibrant Occasions to be our caterer for the event. We flew in for a tasting after NUMEROUS phone conversations and emails. Leah opened their headquarters just for us on a Saturday (when you know they're already busy as heck with orders) and we tasted many different food options from apps to entrees to sides to desserts. All were incredibly good, with great detail, quality, and preparation. We went from originally wanting a sit-down 3-course meal to rounds of passed hors d'oeuvres, food stations, and a late-night snack. Again, Leah worked with us and our many changes, without complaint and knocked it out of the park! That girl has the patience of a Saint!! We started with the passed hors d'oeuvres during the cocktail hour, which included Bacon-Wrapped Cocktail Smokies, Spinach Artichoke Crostini, Mini New England Crab Cakes, and Cajun Shrimp Shooters. We moved into the "action" stations once the bride and groom arrived. This was fantastic as they set up stations on both sides of the venue to alleviate the ugly lines that we all hate so much at weddings! One side had Grilled Chicken Sliders, Ham & Cheese Sliders on Garlic Cheddar Biscuit, A Dinner Salad w/choice of dressings, House Made Potato Chips, then one of my favorites, the Macaroni & Cheese Bar with ALL the toppings you could wish for! The other side of the room had the taco action station where they served Korean BBQ tacos, Chili Lime Shrimp Tacos, a Vegetarian Taco, and of course a few sauces to accompany them. And the tacos were made to order!! Even had a Vegan option - the Stuffed Zucchini Boats! But my favorite part of the night was the last action station, which we opened at 9:30 pm... The late-night snack, which after dancing and drinking for hours was FANFREAKINGTASTIC!! Cheesesteak Sandwich baby! A Shaved Black Angus prime strip steak seared with fresh peppers and onions on a toasted hoagie roll topped with Jalapeno Cheese Sauce served with a side of Rosemary Au Jus for dipping. HELLO LOVER!! They even brought their mobile kitchen to Legacy to ensure the food was hot for our guests! As you can see from the pictures provided, the food was incredible! I cannot thank the team at Vibrant enough for all they did for our daughter's special day. From Leah/Serge to the servers, the cooks, the runners, etc. All were professional, prompt, polite, and extremely skilled in food service. We would hire them again in a second, but you should hire them NOW for your special occasion!

These guys were absolutely amazing. I may not have been able to breath in my dress but I could eat. They answered questions we didn’t even know we had. We probably got more complements on the food than my dress. They made everything super smooth and even cleaned up our mess afterwords. If we could we would be eating Serge’s food every day. They went above and beyond every expectations.

My daughter recently got married at the Grandeur House. We choose Vibrant Occassions to cater her wedding. My daughter and her fiance choose grilled chicken fettuccine alfredo and bacon wrapped pork loin. They were both wonderful, we received so many compliments from our guest. Mary and Serg were wonderful and kept within our budget. They were present at my daughters wedding and made sure everything ran smoothly. We had a friend who was vegan and Mary made sure he had a meal prepared for him as well. The serving staff was excellent and efficient and very professional. One of the best decisions we made for my daughters wedding.

Leah is absolutely amazing! All of the staff were so polite and professional and the food was delicious! The bartender was fast and the drinks were great. The staff went out of their way to ensure that the groom and I had a plate and drinks.

Mary and her team were amazing and made our wedding amazing! My husband had only 1 request for our food and it was mini corn dogs lol. Not only did they make that happen even though it wasn’t on their menu, they were the most delicious mini corn dogs ever! Everyone raved about them! And their Mac and cheese was to die for! I can not recommend them enough! If you are looking for a caterer look no further! I know I’m a client for life now!

Vibrant Occasions Catering did a superb job at my daughter's wedding this past Saturday evening. The food was absolutely delicious! If far exceeded our expectations! The workers were quick to work and very helpful with the food. I have had nothing but compliments from so many guests. I highly recommend them!

Mary and her team helped us in so many ways throughout our planning process. She met with us and went through two menu changes, multiple headcount adjustments due to the pandemic, and helped to ensure every detail was to our liking. She was accommodating for our dietary needs for our guests, and very communicative throughout the process with great suggestions. She was so committed to customer service and making sure our needs were met. I couldn't recommend a vendor more than Vibrant Occaions!

Our bbq dinner was delicious and the caterers were so great to work with. I appreciated the accommodations they made to give us food warmers and disposable plates and cutlery that still looked classy for our wedding. They even provided a side order of vegan food that was still flavorful and filling for our guests who couldn’t eat animal products. Vibrant Occasions was a great choice!

Super helpful, super accommodating, super service, and super great food. All around awesome.

We used Vibrant Occasions for our wedding day and we could not have been happier. From the time we first spoke with Leah until the end of the wedding, her and the rest of the crew were phenomenal. Any questions we needed answered, Leah was promote to get back with us and make us feel at ease. We were able to make changes, adjust numbers as needed, and even with all the constantly changing COVID guidelines, Leah kept us informed with any and all changes. This team was not only amazing to work with, but the food... I can't explain how many guests came up and asked who prepared the amazing food! We could have not been happier with our choice to use Vibrant Occasions for our wedding! Their prices fit right within our budget! Thank you so much for being apart of our day and providing such amazing appetizers and the meal!

Vibrant Occasions catered the dinner for my wedding back in June. They were professional and did an amazing job. The initial consultation with Mary was so smooth. She took notes of all the details of my wedding and gave me the freedom to chose whatever I wanted. We narrowed down a couple options and sent me quotes for each. I highly recommend the Action Stations as that was a hit with the guests. The street tacos were excellent, and so many guests told me how good the food was. Vibrant Occasions took all the stress out of serving food at the wedding. They arrived on time and took care of all the details. As the bride, I didn't have to worry about a thing that day. I would highly recommend Vibrant Occasions to every bride or groom.

Absolutely the best catered food from any wedding or event I have been a part of in the past 30 years! That is saying a lot considering how many fundraisers I have chaired over the years and weddings I have attended. The appetizers were beautiful plated and unbelievably pure perfection! The dinner, served table side, was even more spectacular, if that was possible. I have already recommended Vibrant Occasions and their staff to all my friends for upcoming baby showers, wedding receptions, and future fundraisers across the state. Service was impeccable and over and beyond expectations. Everyone commented they had never had a better experience, or more delectably tasty food, than was served at our event. I would highly recommend using them and will do so myself at future events that I play a lead role in!

Vibrant Occasions took our event at the next level. They were so accommodating to our dietary needs and provided us options that we hadn't thought about. The food was delectable, delicious, and ever flowing. We had no complaints. Guests talk about it all the time.

My daughter was married in March and we used Vibrant Occasions for a plated and served wedding dinner with passed h'ordeuvres during the cocktail hour. They also provided a dessert table. The owners are awesome and worked very hard to design just the right "Southern Fare" dinner that my daughter wanted. We were provided a full tasting of the meal and dessert (double chocolate brownies). The food was incredible, well presented and very tasty. The upscale Mac and Cheese is not to be missed. They provided the dinnerware and glasses, and their organization was superb. I would have no reservations about using their services again for a wedding or other large dinner party.

AMAZING!! Vibrant Occasions took on so much more than they even had to on my wedding day. Anything that came up that they could take care of they did. The team was incredible and so nice. If there was ever a single hang up I had NO idea. The food was INCREDIBLE. We utilized their bartenders and I can't say I ever saw a line waiting for drinks. Vibrant Occasions even cut my wedding cake. This place knows what they're doing and their team from top to bottom through my entire experience made this stressful time so much more enjoyable. So thankful to have had them part of our big day.

Vibrant Occasions was great to work with! From the beginning of wedding planning, to after the big day, Mary and her team were extremely responsive and helpful in all ways possible. They made suggestions to reduce cost, inserted a professional opinion on areas needed and were each extremely well versed with wedding catering. We are still getting compliments on the food and service! Would do it all over again with Vibrant Occasions!

Great food, great service. Mary and her team did an excellent job. They are all very professional and help us navigate guidelines and challenges due to Covid. Tons of menu options as well!

Vibrant was so professional! They kept asking me if I need anything on my wedding day and packed up our leftovers and let me know where they stored them-- I didn't even have to ask! Leah helped me with the planning and was AMAZING! She answered all of my questions and made adjustments to every request I had! EVERY. Request. They complied with state regulations due to COVID and I didn't have to provide acrylic for the buffet station or anything extra! They took care of it all. Very impressed with the staff and had a great experience with them. Oh, and the food was SPECTACULAR. One of my bridesmaids said it was the best chicken alfredo she's ever had!

Our plans went from hometown to big city due to situations set up by COVID ~ we were lucky enough to secure “The Grandeur House” in Little Rock because of a cancellation and one of the vendors they suggested was Vibrant Occasions Our luck held when Leah, a member of their staff answered our call and guided us through the process - the food was simply fabulous. All of our guests were raving! She was always ready for changes, additions, deletions and the best suggestions that pulled it all together. The staff stepped up to help us with the other cakes, passing appetizers and preparing for a champagne toast. The little touches they added during the night were priceless and they offered their help with any and all chores throughout the night. I would recommend Vibrant Occasions to anyone & everyone looking to host a gathering of any size.

If you want to have the BEST meal of your life on the BEST day of your life (or any day lol), this is who you need to book! Serge, Mary, Leah, and the entire VO team are all very professional, easy to work with, and very kind! It's obvious that they truly care and have a passion for what they do... that goes a long way! Everything we chose was customizable, although our food was SO GOOD at the tasting that nothing had to be changed! We had SO MANY compliments on the food from our wedding. Even my Pastor preached about it from the pulpit the next day! lol P.S. I HIGHLY recommend the Banana Foster Action Station... it was a HUGE HIT with the guests!

Mary and Serg with Vibrant Occasions couldn’t have been any nicer or easier to work with! I got married 10/10/20, during the global pandemic, and they made sure that everything was not only delicious but that everyone was safe! We still got everything we wanted and people couldn’t stop talking about how delicious the food was. I can’t thank Vibrant Occasions enough for making our wedding day so memorable.

We love working with Vibrant Occasions at our venue. You can tell they take pride in their business and are always extremely professional. They have an extensive menu and everything on it is absolutely AMAZING! They have catered weddings of all sizes at our venue. We love the option for our brides to do a seated plated dinner, buffet, or fun action stations. Highly recommend!

Oh my goodness, I can not say ENOUGH wonderful things about Vibrant Occasions. They were the most amazing people to work with. Even through planning a pandemic, they made the whole process so easy and stress free, from the first meeting, to tastings, to the actual event. And don't even get me started on the actual food!! It was some of the best food I have ever eaten. I am still getting calls a month after our wedding with comments on how amazing the food was. I also so appreciated the fact that they gave us a cooler with containers filled with all of the food from our wedding from the appetizers to the cake. Oh, and they wrapped our top tier up for us to freeze. Mary and Serge are so great, and Leah is absolutely amazing! If you need a caterer, this is the ONLY place to go!!!

Mary is such a professional and set me and my daughter at ease while we safely yet beautifully planned my daughter’s outdoor wedding considering COVID-19 and potential tropical rain from Hurricane Delta on top! The wedding guests were impressed with the wonderfully delicious food! We loved it and highly recommend Vibrant Occasions Catering for any event.

The people of Vibrant Occasions are some of the sweetest people you will ever meet! Leah Seale was super easy to work with between the pandemic and numbers constantly changing , she was super encouraging and always available and helpful. The food was spectacular! We chose the Street Taco Action station and it was delicious, all of our guests LOVED it especially the pork carnitas. They make your food fresh on site and the smell just adds to the amazing part of this choice! Thank you for a wonderful reception and Leah especially ,my new friend!

Absolutely amazing! The food was amazing and all our guests loved them! Generous portions and amazing quality! Our best vendor choice! They also go above and beyond for the happy couple! They had a meal waiting for us in the bridal suite and a to-go meal for us to enjoy at the hotel. We were actually scheduled to have our wedding during the COVID season and had to reschedule. Vibrant Occassions was so understanding and helpful! They were a true blessing for us. If you're considering them, try them out for a sample!

I have been so impressed with this company from my very first encounter with them. Leah knew exactly what I needed before I even knew I needed it myself. She had wonderful ideas and was more than happy to help me make my special day one I will never forget! Lets not stop there, not only is the service good, but the food is to die for. I heard nothing but good things from my guests. Everyone enjoyed every bit of the food - these people really are a total package!

All I can say is WOW! Vibrant Occasions catered our daughter’s wedding in Little Rock. The food was amazing. We heard this over & over from guests, “especially the mashed potatoes”. They also worked easily with our daughter & her fiancé who live in NYC to allow them to come for a tasting during their one & only trip to Arkansas during the wedding planning process. We HIGHLY recommend them.

They were so friendly and accommodating! Planning a wedding can be hectic and they took all the stress away knowing we were taken care of. Our guests LOVED the food. They literally talked about it for days.

The food looked and tasted wonderful!!! Everyone talked about how amazing it was and still do and we are 4 months out! They were very cooperative and did exactly what I wanted! The staff was very friendly and professional and made my day so perfect!

Serge and Mary knew my daughter wanted pizza at her reception! They made it happen! They were so dedicated that they even practiced at home! It was so delicious! They were easy to work with and had great ideas on how to serve the pizza and the grooms favorite burgers! Along with bourbon chicken and twice baked potatoes! And let’s not forget those awesome appetizers! They have the best brown sugar bacon. The staff were courteous and friendly! We had the best experience ever!

We planned a destination wedding to Hot Springs, AR. We looked at many caterers to provide the reception dinner, ultimately selecting Vibrant Occasions. Owner Mary Krikorian was an absolute joy to work with. Her suggestions and flexibility were invaluable. There is a wide array of dining options and other services. The reception dinner presentation was beautiful and the dinner was wonderful. The staff performed well above my expectations. Very friendly and attentive. I would recommend Mary to anyone who is planning a special event. Her business is aptly named, as she made sure our "Occasion" was truly "Vibrant"!

BOOK THEM. Do yourself a favor and do it now. Leah was amazing to work with, listening to my wild ideas and allowing me to change my mind for several months. The final result? Delicious. I've never had catered food that was so tasty. On the night of our wedding, Leah was unavailable, so owner Mary was onsite. She was so sweet! Her serving team is made up of her sons as well as some additional hires. Great service all around.

Amazing food and customer service!! Very pleased with this caterer!

Vibrant occasions was absolutely amazing during our wedding! The owners customized a menu for us based on the information I gave them and it was amazing. They were so easy to work with, quick to respond to my questions, and made the process so easy. Our guests loved the food! The first thing so many people said to me about the reception was how amazing the food was! I would recommend them over and over again!

It was such a pleasure working with Vibrant Occasions Catering for my daughter’s wedding. They did a fantastic job and everyone complimented us on the food. My daughter is a picky eater and Vibrant Occasions made it easy to find things that she would enjoy on her big day!

Vibrant Occasions is where it is at! We were so thankful to have such a friendly company to he a part of our wedding. Leah is wonderful! The food was amazing!

What an absolute joy to work with Mary and her staff at Vibrant Occasions! From the first email/telephone call until the end of the wedding reception, Mary was not only punctual and professional with her responses, suggestions, and services, but she went above and beyond for us. I do not have enough money to pay her what she was worth on my daughter's special day, but I certainly wish I could. She truly took so much worry and stress from me and allowed me to enjoy my daughter and the festivities. Almost a month after the wedding, we are still receiving compliments on the wonderful food and service. I have never attended any function where the food was even comparable. Absolutely delicious and beautifully presented! Vibrant Occasions and Mary will always hold a special place in my heart, and we highly recommend them to anyone that is fortunate enough to book them. You will most definitely get more than your money's worth! A true blessing!!

Vibrant Occasions did an awesome job catering my daughter’s wedding. Thanks to owners Serge (Chef), Mary and outstanding staff (Leah and so many others) of Vibrant Occasions for their outstanding service to us before and during the wedding. The service and food was excellent. Special shout-out to the bartender, April, she did a wonderful job! I would highly recommend Vibrant Occasions to anyone looking for a caterer.

Awesome company! Their food is so to die for! Excellent chefs and staff to service us! Their professional mannerism is way out there than we expected! They made sure everyone is served and fed!

My husband and I used Vibrant occasions catering for our wedding and they were awesome! From the first meeting, to multiple text conversations with Leah, to our tasting, setting up at the wedding and clean up of their tables... they were awesome!! The food tasted amazing, and they even packed my new husband and I a to go bag with a full meal for both of us and some cake! That alone was completely awesome considering by the time we got home and unloaded our car, we were starving! All of my guests enjoyed their food!! Leah and the staff even cut and served our cake for us! They truly went above and beyond! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for catering! Thank you Vibrant Occasions!

Vibrant Occasions catered my daughter's wedding in May and it was amazing! Our initial meeting with Leah and Chef Serge was extremely welcoming and accommodating which made our decision to hire them, an easy one. My daughter requested 2 specialty drinks and they were more than willing to make those for her. We also suggested a couple of different ideas for appetizers, which they also gladly served. Our wedding guests had nothing but wonderful comments about the dinner. The service, in addition to the food, was top notch! I would recommend Vibrant Occasions to anyone for any event!

Vibrant Occasions was fantastic! They were so professional and helpful. I really felt like they wanted to do whatever they could to make my our wedding day amazing. I would definitely use them for any event!

Vibrant Occasions did an awesome job at my wedding! The food was amazing and their staff was super friendly and made sure guests had everything they needed! They made sure everything ran smoothly and they were extremely professional! I would recommend everyone to use them for your events if your looking for amazing food and friendly and dependable service!

I highly recommend Vibrant Occasions Catering from Benton! Chef Serge, Mary, and Leah were extremely accommodating throughout the entire process of planning a dinner for my wedding reception. I experienced professionalism, knowledge, and excellent customer service from the initial meeting onwards. Due to these attributes and their extremely reasonable prices, I never looked elsewhere for catering. I received numerous compliments on how delicious the food tasted at the reception along with how professional and courteous the staff was all night. The to go boxes at the end of the night were extremely thoughtful and made for a wonderful late night snack. I could not have asked for a better experience with a caterer. If you’re looking for excellent food, professionalism, and outstanding customer service, book with Vibrant Occasions Catering!

Vibrant Occasions provided catering at my wedding at Garvan Gardens in April. Leah and all the staff were a pleasure to work with and did a great job at working with our vision of what we wanted for the wedding. They also provided creative advice on the displays and everything turned out beautiful and tasted amazing! We had a selection of hors d’oeuvres and a fruit, veggie, and cheese display. We also ordered wraps, chips, cookies/brownies, and fruit trays to be delivered to the brides and grooms quarters prior to the ceremony. The food and displays were all set up in a timely manner and the staff even boxed up food for my husband and me to take with us that night. The food all tasted amazing and was all beautifully and creatively displayed! My favorites were the sliders and shrimp and grit cakes!

I cannot say enough good things about Vibrant Occasions and their staff. Mary and Serge were incredibly helpful in menu planning, the food was amazing and the event was well organized (including switching over from the buffet dinner to a chicken and waffles action station halfway through the reception!). I felt totally at ease leaving things in their incredibly capable hands, and appreciate Leah being there to answer all of my questions in a very timely manner (even the day of!). I cannot recommend Vibrant Occasions highly enough!

Vibrant occasions did a phenomal job at our wedding!! Guests are still raving about how delicious the meal was! The staff was very professional and even prepared a “To Go Box” for my husband and I, which we deperately needed at the end of the night. Mary’s staff was very professional! And Leah did an awesome job guiding is through the ordering process including our taste tasting session. If I could give them 10 stars I would!! Sheila

Vibrant Occasions and it’s staff helped make our January wedding as close to perfect as was humanly possible! Their food was incredible...lots of raves from the guests. And working with the staff was a pleasure...they accommodated our every request. Highly recommend this catering business to anyone needing good food and good folks to work with!

Vibrant Occasions was FANTASTIC! Leah was so helpful through the entire process and it couldn't have gone better. (Also I recommend the spinach and artichoke dip.. really there's nothing like it out there. It was SO GOOD!)

Vibrant Occasions has the best service ever!!! The food is absolutely amazing and every one of my wedding quests was amazed. They are very adaptable to last minute changes and put on an amazing display. Not one single complaint and nothing but raves coming from my quests !!

Vibrant Occasions served as the caterer for my son and daughter-in-law's wedding. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish! Mary and Serge were very accommodating to our specific wishes. The presentation at the reception was just as we had hoped. And the food was amazing! Our guests were very complimentary. The staff was professional during the event and throughout the planning process. We even encountered a problem, (had to reschedule the wedding with short notice due to Hurricane Harvey) and Vibrant Occasions was extremely gracious to work with us to reschedule...even at a loss on their end, I'm sure. We will use their services again in the future.

Words are not sufficient to express our gratitude to owners Serge (Chef) and Mary and outstanding staff (Leah and so many others) of Vibrant Occasions for their outstanding service to us before, during, after our wedding event in Hot Springs October 7, 2017. Robert and I were nervous (to-say-the-least) to select a caterer for our 55 person event at home--so much so, that I wanted to cook my own food to be sure what we fed our guests would be edible--but Robert gently insisted we find a caterer. What we found was family. Not only did I receive an immediate reply to my initial inquiry, but Serge, Mary, and Leah welcomed this nervous bride and groom-to-be into our first meeting/planning session with grace, patience, information, and options. The negotiation of contract was effortless, and the willingness of Vibrant Occasions to adjust our menu to accommodate our guests and event size was perfectly professional. And the meal . . . I cannot adequately express my gratitude to Chef Serge and kitchen staff for the exquisite dinner we received. Robert and I selected chicken . . . not because . . . but because . . . and I prepared myself for the worst. But what Robert and I and our guests received from Chef Serge was a succulent, unexpected, tender & juicy, melt-in-your-mouth moment of absolute perfection! The Vibrant Occasions team and Chef Serge tailored our meal to our event: the margarita chicken, spring vegetable mix, the tri-colored roasted potatoes, the strawberry salad, the spinach artichoke stuffed Portobello (for our vegetarians), and the cocktail hour finger-trays and cheeses were all beyond expected flavor and texture. Each bite was absolute perfection! Kudos to Chef and kitchen staff! Robert and I and our guests are STILL discussing the flavors and perfections of our special meal. I also fretted over the travel-time and prep-time for the event in Hot Springs; I knew the food would loose flavor/texture after the processes of cooking, packing, traveling, unpacking, staging, serving. I could not have been more wrong. The meal was as fresh at 6:00 p.m. as it would have been had all 55 of us arrived at Vibrant Occasions for our servings hot from the Chef's oven. Again, I have no words to express our heartfelt gratitude for the Vibrant Occasions team. Additionally, I must add a few words about our evening service. The home venue is intimate. I fretted that the "moving about" of service staff could have been intrusive and obvious. Again, I was wrong. The Vibrant Occasions two-person staff was absolutely professional in dress and service; the presence of the Vibrant Occasions staff in our home was unobtrusive and perfect. That's it. Perfect. The Vibrant Occasions staff and service created no distraction, and their professional service only enhanced and perfected our evening. Additionally, the Vibrant Occasions staff packaged, labeled, and refrigerated a full meal for me and my groom--both too busy to sit and enjoy a meal with our guests; such attention to our needs brought tears to my eyes. Robert and I give our highest recommendation to Vibrant Occasions Catering; Robert and I are forever grateful to this unique and professional team who will work tirelessly behind the scenes to perfect your event and provide you with precious memories to last a lifetime. Thank you, Serge, Mary, Leah, and EACH special member of the staff and crew of Vibrant Occasions Catering!

I cannot say enough positive things about the experience we had with Vibrant Occasions Catering! When planning a wedding or any other special occasion for that matter, there are so many decisions to be made and details to think about. Right from the beginning, planning for our rehearsal dinner and the wedding reception with Serge and Mary was a stress free experience. Mary knew all the right questions to ask to dial down to what we really wanted for both of the meals, and gave "seasoned" advice as to how to host a wonderful dining experience within the parameters of our budget. We were equally as pleased with our experience at both of our events. The staff was so professional, courteous and accommodating! The food was delicious, and I would highly recommend the street tacos! Overall, the decision to use Vibrant Occasions Catering is one that we will make again in the future without hesitation! Serge and Mary and their entire staff helped us to provide a wonderful celebration for our children and guests.

My family and I highly recommend Dinner's Ready for catering needs. We also like to stop by their shop to pick up yummy snacks and quick heat-n-serve meals. Dinner's Ready catered our daughter's wedding in 2015. Our 200+ guests raved about the food and service. Attention to detail and client care are exceptional. My husband and I hadn't stopped visiting with our guests to eat. Mary and Serge made plates and brought them to us! This year (2017) we threw a pool party baby shower for our daughter and her husband. This was a much less formal event than the wedding, with only 30-40 guests. Again Dinner's Ready excelled with their food and service. We had a wonderful time, and my husband wasn't stuck behind the grill all afternoon. I fully trust the advice Mary and Serge provide. They are experts at what they do, and want the best for their clients. Every dollar we've spent with them is a dollar extremely well spent. In this case you get much much more than you pay for. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Dinner's Ready Catering did an amazing job for our wedding reception. The food was great and the servers/bartenders were attentive and friendly. I would highly rec0mmend them to any bride prepping for a wedding.

Mary and her team at Dinner's Ready are wonderful!! The food was amazing. Everyone at the wedding raved at how delicious everything was. I highly recommend Dinner's Ready for any catering event!!

Mary and Serge were wonderful to work with. We had action stations at our wedding dinner. The pasta stations were amazing. I wanted bananas foster as my grooms cake and they delivered. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to have there special day catered. Thank you to all of the staff at Dinners ready!

We had such a great experience with Dinner's ready. They were easy to speak with, plan the menu, and quick responses to emails. We had 3 main entrees which included the best shrimp and grits and burgundy beef brisket I've ever had. Our guest RAVED about the shrimp and still hearing about it a month later! The service was professional and we enjoyed working with this family. They worked with our planner to get all the details together. We made the right choice with this vendor. We are definitely utilizing them in the future for our parties. Thank for all your hard work!

Serge and Mary are the nicest, most accommodating people to work with for your event. The set-up looked amazing, their entire team was fun, and the food was absolutely delicious! My guests are still raving about the pasta stations. Highly, highly recommend :)

Dinner's ready catered my wedding at Alda's and it was absolutely perfect. They actually listened to me about what I wanted and liked and made it happen! I had so many people tell me how awesome the food was, and me and my husband enjoyed it as well. They were so easy to work with and if I ever need a caterer again they will be my first choice!!

We had Dinner's Ready cater our wedding and it was absolutely perfect!!! From the time we emailed asking for pricing, up until our wedding day they were by our side! Not only did they keep the drinks filled and the taco bar clean and full, they picked up our guests plates as they finished eating and kept our cupcakes and cookies stocked up which we didn't even purchase from them! They are simply the best! They even set aside a "Bride and Groom" to go box for us to be able to eat later that night at our hotel. We were 110% satisfied and can not wait to use Dinner's Ready catering for all of our future catering needs. A week later and our guests are still ranting over how amazing the food was!

Excellent food and service. Very friendly, and extremely useful. There wasn't a single complaint from the guests - only praise!

The compliments are still coming in! Dinners Ready could not have been more helpful to our family in planning our Son and Daughter-in-love's rehearsal dinner! Planning an event from another city is not always easy... But working with Mary and Serge... We knew we were in good hands! From the first phone call to my simplest questions in emails they were professional and answered any/all questions in a timely manner ! The dinner was delicious and the portions were great! Everyone left satisfied and happy! And let's talk dessert... Your life will not be complete without a slice of Ding Dong cake... Yes, I said Ding Dong cake! It is the most decedent dessert, it satisfies every chocolate craving you will ever have! Thank you Mary and Serge for making a precious time in the life of our family so special...and DELICIOUS!

Dinners Ready did a excellent job catering our daughters wedding. Mary, Serge and thier staff provided great food and service. I would recommend them for any catering event!

We have used Dinner's Ready as a family for multiple events in the past year: 2 weddings and a retirement party. I can honestly say, Mary and Serg are the EASIEST people to work with. They pay attention to the smallest detail, create beautiful displays no matter your budget, and are so helpful! They are great menu planners, and on top of everything else...their food is high quality and DELICIOUS! I cannot recommend them enough!

The owners are so helpful and the food was SO good. Very happy with the turnout :)

I have attended many functions catered by Dinner's Ready Catering. The food and service have always been top-notch, and that's why they were our first choice for catering our son's rehearsal dinner, which went extremely well. Serge, Mary, and their crew did a fantastic job on that occasion that was so important to us. They were prompt, flexible, easy to work with, and priced very competitively. The food was served hot and was absolutely delicious. I would HIGHLY recommend them for any catering occasion.

Dinner's Ready did a fantastic job catering our daughters wedding! The food was awesome and their staff could't have been better. We are very satisfied customers!

Our whole experience with this company was excellent. Many people raved about how good the food tasted, The servers were very polite and professional - both in appearance and in the service they provided. During the planning process, Mary and Serge made us feel so at ease and confident that everything would be taken care of - and I was very grateful for some of their suggestions because they were indeed spot on. I highly recommend this company and would most certainly choose them again in the future!
