Vibrant Occasions Catering

l sizes at our venue. We love the option for our brides to do a seated plated dinner, buffet, or fun action stations. Highly recommend!

stings, 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!!!

with the wonderfully delicious food! We loved it and highly recommend Vibrant Occasions Catering for any event.

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!

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!

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!

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.

fect!

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!

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"!

ht 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.

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!

would enjoy on her big day!

ut 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!!

he 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.

e!! 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!

ialty 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!

commend everyone to use them for your events if your looking for amazing food and friendly and dependable service!

ent 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!

ce 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!

n 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!

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

equest. Highly recommend this catering business to anyone needing good food and good folks to work with!

raves coming from my quests !!

e 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.

tober 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!

m 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.

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.

there special day catered. Thank you to all of the staff at Dinners ready!

VED 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!

ghly recommend :)

as well. They were so easy to work with and if I ever need a caterer again they will be my first choice!!

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!

erge... 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! The Duke family Shreveport, Louisiana

ul 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!

heir 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.

d 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!
