I would strongly recommend Woodhouse Catering. They catered my daughter's wedding in June 2024. Amber and Brianna were extremely helpful throughout the process and set the tables in extreme heat the day before the wedding. The food was excellent and there was more than enough! The catering staff and bartenders were professional and offered excellent service.

Woodhouse Catering helped make my daughter's wedding the perfect event. The food was so delicious that we didn't have any left over. The flank steak was my favorite, and the maple bourbon chicken was also tasty. The staff was very professional and ensured our every need was taken care of from set up to clean up, They were polite, courteous, and friendly. Working with Amber and Brianna on the menu helped immensely at the tasting. I highly recommend Woodhouse Catering for any event, but especially for weddings.

Woodhouse Catering has by far been the best food I've had at a wedding! They were so kind and patient with all of my questions, and the food was PHENOMENAL. my guests rave about it still to this day! If I ever need catering for an event again, I hope I can use them again! If not, I hope whoever I book can live up to the expectations and experience Woodhouse Catering provided me.

Great food! Still wouldn't recommend it though since we had very poor communication experiences with them. Amber was the only one responsive to my emails. The day of the wedding our coordinators said they didn't know what to do even though I had just attended a walkthrough at the venue with them a few days prior. I was told they didn't want to make us to-go plates at the end of the night after I requested them. After they disappeared at the end of the night, no one could find where the leftovers were until the next day. Overall, we were disappointed with their services.

Hi Gracie. I am so sorry to hear about the event. As the founder of Woodhouse Catering, a...
small local business, our reputation is everything. As you can see from our other reviews this is very unusual. I've reached out to you via email so we can discuss what took place that prompted this review. Thank you.

I used Woodhouse Catering for my wedding on May 4th, and they were fantastic! From the early planning stages, Amber and Bri were always available to answer my questions and assist with menu planning. The food and service was flawless. Our guests all commented about how delicious the food was and how kind their staff was. I highly recommend Woodhouse Catering for your next event!

Wow! Woodhouse Catering was a huge hit at our wedding! From the very beginning, they were so helpful and kind. There was a tropical storm on our big day but their team still made the hour+ journey to come out to our venue! So many positive comments on our food: we had the chicken and waffles and mini tacos as appetizers and the pork loin with apple and pear chutney- all of it was so delicious!

If you are questioning using Woodhouse Catering for your next event: just do it!
They were available and flexible when a previous caterer bailed on us 2 months before our wedding. They were able to accommodate us for a tasting very quickly and allowed us to try many of the menu items we were stuck between. The food was extraordinary and between the great customer service and delectable food, we knew they would be our caterer.
We were given an estimate that 6 the cost was always discussed with changes being made (no financial surprises!)
The team arrived promptly and was very professional and moved quickly with our small window of time to get ready at the venue. They ensured we had enough food plated right after our entrance.
Everyone would not stop telling us how delicious the food was. It was all hot, moist and of course tasty. They even boxed our leftovers and made sure that they went home with us. We are so grateful to have had the Woodhouse Catering team be a part of our big day. They are all truly incredible!

Woodhouse Catering showed up in a desperate time of need for us when our previous caterer ghosted us. Woodhouse Catering came to our rescue with a fantastic tasting/ consultation. The team was courteous, professional, and an overall joy to work with. Everything on the day was just as good as the tasting. Both of our families had nothing but positive things to say about all the food. Plus the amount of food we got for the price we were offered was absolutely incredible. We cannot recommend Woodhouse Catering enough as wedding caterers. Thank you all so much!!

We hired Woodhouse Catering for my wedding this past week and I just had to write a review for how wonderful they were to work with. Communication leading up to the wedding was fantastic and professional, and they made sure to include everything I wanted and still keep within my budget. Literally any idea I offered, they made it happen. Mike and Cam were always open to a phone call or email conversation, so I felt confident in everything before the wedding day. The food was delicious and all of my guests kept coming up to me saying how wonderful it was. Everyone loved our salmon and steak dinner, and the appetizers were loved at cocktail hour. Cam was the coordinator at our event, and he was so wonderful to interact with, and even made sure my husband and I had food to-go after our wedding. May not seem like a big deal, but little things like that make you feel cared for in the midst of a busy wedding day! I didn't have to think twice if they would provide a nice evening, they clearly know how to make everything flow beautifully. They were so flexible and I'm really really glad they catered our wedding. Would definitely recommend them to anyone for an event.

Woodhouse Catering catered my daughter’s wedding April 30, 2022. Cam (Coordinator) and Mike (Chef) made the whole process easy and stress free! We had a sit down dinner and the service was excellent! The guests got to pick Filet Mignon, Shrimp Piccata or Chicken Marsala. All three dishes were cooked to perfection! The appetizers were also amazing. I made my way around to talk to everyone at each table and the guests were all saying that it was the best food they ever had at a wedding. The waitstaff and bartender were also very good! I am so happy that we hired Woodhouse Catering! They made sure everything was perfect. They even packed up the leftover food for the after party!!

I attended a wedding earlier this year that Woodhouse catered and let me say- the food was OUTSTANDING. I have never been to a wedding where I wanted to go back for seconds. I will personally be contacting Woodhouse for any future events I have.
