Outstanding. We recieved so many compliments on our food. Some even dare say the best food they've had a wedding. We even had one guest eating so much because it was so good he had...

Tawny was absolutely amazing to work with, very helpful and super responsive. Our bartenders were amazing as well
Shelby and her team at Beyond the Box Catering were absolutely phenomenal! They went above and beyond to meet every single one of our needs and were incredibly flexible with our ev...
er-evolving requests and unique wedding celebration style. From start to finish, their professionalism, attention to detail, and warm service made our special day seamless and unforgettable. The service staff was exceptional—friendly, attentive, and truly committed to making everything perfect. We couldn’t recommend this company enough!
Shelby and her team were incredible—we highly recommend relying on their expertise!
Shelby is an angel and I think we became best friends over our love for dirty martinis. The food was INCREDIBLE, everyone mentioned how amazing it was. We did the bbq buffet and tw...
eaked a couple menu items but it all came out delicious. Would definitely hire again.
I’ll admit that I was nervous to find out the venue we chose worked with one sole catering company - which happened to be beyond the box. However, right from the start, BTB was awe...
some to work with and I’d chose them again and again! My daughter and son-in-law, both college athletes, had quite the unique timeline in which they were able to take care of certain things and BTB went out of their way to accommodate in any way they could! Shelby R was our direct line of contact and that girl is simply amazing! She answered my nine million emails, was always quick to respond and even exchanged texts with me throughout the planing process. She was detailed and thorough and always helpful! The tasting was such a cute setup, service was great, and the food options were endless!
Now for the food on wedding day…. Oh my goodness, It was DELICIOUS! Most wedding food isn’t that impressive but our guests kept going on and on about how good it was! It was hot and fresh and the staff was absolutely incredible as well. Never an empty glass, constant checking on guests to see if they needed anything, plates cleared almost immediately when guests were done and very friendly and professional!
I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Beyond the Box! I highly recommend them for your wedding or event!
Everything was amazing. There's no better feeling than having guests tell you that they go to a lot of weddings, and this was the best they had ever had. We couldn't agree more! Yo...
u will not be disappointed in the wide variety of packages and options and gluten-free, vegetarian, etc. We knew at the taste testing that no matter what we selected, it was guaranteed to be delicious. I wish we had more food photos because the presentation was beautiful too.
Jennifer was also extremely helpful and was determined to make our day perfect. Excellent communication. I highly recommend booking Beyond the Box for your wedding.
The food was amazing!!! All our guests raved about the food and drinks!
Marci was incredible to work with, helping the process be as easy as possible.
We booked Beyond the Box for our September 2024 wedding at the Perot Museum. Marci Wenrich was a pleasure to work with and had great recommendations for planners and other vendors,...
who we ended up booking based on her high praise. Marci and the whole BTB crew made our dreams come true with a delicious buffet and beautiful signature cocktails that our guests enjoyed all evening!

The food at our wedding was amazing, not just y...
our average "wedding food" it was sooooo much better! We did the mashed potato martini bar which was a hit with all our guests, and the also did the salad bar and steamship beef!
The staff was so nice and on top of it! We can't thank them enough for everything!!
Also not to mention their delicious cocktails they made for us and all our guests! Booking them is a MUST for your wedding, trust me!!
We had a fabulous Italian dinner and Mediterranean cocktail hour display for our wedding with Beyond the Box, rivaled only by the menu tasting they provided for us first! Communica...
tion was made simple and easy, even when our point of contact changed mid-way through planning, and especially considering our 7-hour time zone difference! Set-up, serving, and take-down was all the more harmonious, allowing my husband and I the luxury of never worrying about the catering until it was time for our much-anticipated dinner. I cannot recommend the Italian buffet menu enough. It's a good thing we chose the buffet too or else I would've had to go around the tables to try a bite of everything! The drinks were also a perfect set up. We had one family who didn't drink alcohol or caffeine, and one who wanted a toast and couldn't go an evening without a cup of coffee, and they accommodated everyone with ease.
Thank you for making our planning process and special day all the more seamless and special!
An absolutely wonderful team! The menu we selected was delicious and costs were very reasonable for our budget. The BTB team kept everything running smoothly from food service to b...
ar-tending, and they were exceptionally easy to work and coordinate with!
Beyond the Box was one of the vendors permitted by our venue, the Perot Museum of Nature & Science. We weren't super pumped about having required vendors, but after working with th...
em we're so so glad we did! The food was the best 'wedding food' that we've ever had, and our guests have complimented us on how good it was! Marci was lovely to work with, she treated our small event like a large one, and provided us with all the attention and resources needed to make our vision happen. The cost for us was pushing our budget, but it wound up being worth it, especially considering how good it was! My advice to anyone looking at vendors: if BTB is pushing your budget, go with them! You can't beat this quality for the cost, and they're so professional/easy to work with. They're amazing!
Beyond the Box was perfection and exceeded all our expectations. We had a micro wedding at the Dallas Arboretum Camp House and they were perfect. Every bite was delicious and the p...
astry chef nailed the cake, going off only my request to make it "like Whole Foods' Berry Chantilly cake." EVERYONE was raving at how perfect the cake was! Marci at Beyond the Box made planning our little formal wedding SO easy. If I could give them 50 stars, I would.

Excellent options, creative displays, outstanding staff and management.

food allergies, they were very cautious to ensure no dishes contained my allergens. You cannot go wrong with this fantastic caterer!
I would highly recommend using Beyond the Box Catering for a wedding or any event. The menu is so large and diverse it made it hard to choose what to serve at the wedding because i...
t all looked amazing. They have so many options to choose from for any budget. All of my guests were raving about the food all night! Thank you guys so much for making the decision process so easy and my wedding run so smoothly!
TL/DR - Loved working with them, food was incredible and got rave reviews, and pricing was very competitive.
Our original caterer, Two Sisters Catering, decided to close their doo...
rs 2.5 months before our wedding without any notification (only found out while trying to schedule our tasting and menu planning). We immediately went on a mad dash to find a replacement and Beyond the Box reached out within an hour or so, while others took days.
They were so easy to work with, we loved the menus and the tasting went so incredibly well (we had leftovers for days as well). Everyone at the wedding loved the food and still talks about it, and we even had them cater afternoon lunch/snacks for the wedding party since there was a big break between ceremony and reception. They also had very reasonable pricing that was on par or better than a lot of the places we reviewed, and they spent a lot of time working with our venue to get approved to operate there. Would recommend them without a doubt to anyone that asked.
Loved working with Beyond the Box for our wedding. We wanted something a bit more unique than a traditional plated dinner, so we went with action stations. The tasting when we pi...
cked all our options was super fun. All the guests loved the food. Staff/servers were attentive to myself and the groom. Couldn't ask for more!

le weeks after our wedding! They also catered our rehearsal dinner and food for my bridal party on the day of while we were getting ready and it was all on point. Chelsi was fantastic to work with—she was always professional and helped bring our vision to life, being there to answer any questions we had. You will not be disappointed if you use Beyond the Box for your wedding!
I cannot recommend Beyond the Box enough. We did a buffet style set-up of an Italian food assortment. The food was amazing. Everything tasted spectacular. The servers were atten...
tive. I was completely out of my element to know how to get catering for our wedding but they made it incredibly easy. They were really able to work with us to get what we were looking for. The bartenders were phenomenal. I could just go on and on about how amazing our experience was with the whole Beyond the Box team. I highly recommend.
The venue we had our wedding at only worked with 2 caterers. We were a little nervous about not having many options to choose from, but after meeting with Marci and going over deta...
ils we were sold! Marci was great to work with. She stayed in close communication with us answering all of the little questions and "what ifs" we had.
The food at our wedding was great. Marci made sure we got a plate and even sent us home with to-go boxes which froze nicely and came in handy when we got back from our honeymoon and didn't have much food in the fridge.
We couldn't have been more pleased with the staff who worked the wedding. From the bar staff to servers, they were all very professional and helpful.
We received many many compliments on how good the food was. We loved it and would highly recommend Beyong the Box for your wedding or event.
We hope to have a reason to work with them again!
The team at Beyond the Box is fantastic! We had the privilege of working with both Chelsi and Greg from the BtB team, both of whom were wonderful. We had a few changes come our way...
throughout the planning process, and the BtB team were so kind and flexible through every hurdle. We did have a couple of requests coming out of our tasting, and they accommodated them for our reception. The staff was so kind and wonderful, we couldn't have asked for better. So happy we chose Beyond the Box for our wedding!
You could not engage the services of a caterer better than Beyond the Box Wedding Caterers. We have had nothing but rave reviews. The food was outstanding. The short ribs tasteful ...
and cut with a fork. The butternut squash a taste sensation and the honey lemon chicken sooo good! The Out of the Box team were attentive at all times from the Cocktail Hour until after the serving of the cake. The guest commented on several occasions about their service and how great the food was. You will not go wrong when enlisting them for whatever the occasion. Donna and Nesbit Johnson

ts were bragging on how great it was. Wish it would’ve stayed open longer to get seconds. Thank you for making our wedding memorable!
First off: hire these amazing people!!! Seriously! You’ll be so beyond glad that you did. Food was a huge thing for us. It was basically number one on our list of most important. C...
helsi was such a trooper with all my questions even before we hired them. Even afterwards, she responded so quickly and was always so nice and accommodating. I never felt like I was asking a dumb question. Okay secondly, the food is honestly some of the best brunch food we’ve ever had. They stay true to their namesake. This is not your typical boring wedding food. This is real food that is damn good. Everyone at our wedding RAVED about the food and the bartender! The team who came to serve were just as amazing as the food itself. It’s all inclusive. They pre set our tables, they bussed (no trash cans in your photos), and the staff were especially attentive to me and my groom. They even brought us our favorite drinks and appetizers while we were still taking pictures! We found that so thoughtful. We never had to ask for anything with them. Also, their set up of the food stations were absolutely beautiful and Pinterest worthy! They took brunch food and elevated it in a way that felt elegant but also down to earth and approachable. I love these people!!!
I would give Beyond the Box an A+ when it comes to menu customization and food quality!
First, their menu is HUGE! You have endless options for your event from all different cuisi...
nes. Second, Megan was super helpful during the planning process. We had a lot of questions and dietary restrictions to consider, and Megan was patient, accommodating, and quick to respond. Third, the food itself! We have been to a lot of weddings -- both on the east cost and west coast -- and never has the food been this good. Megan helped us put together an elaborate menu with a food-heavy cocktail hour, dinner, and dessert display, and all the food was fresh and flavorful despite our wedding venue only having a prep kitchen onsite. We received many kudos from our guests! We also appreciated that Megan was onsite the day of the event.
A few small things didn't go as planned, but we were able to resolve them for the most part:
a) We were informed in advance that our wedding cake slices would need to be passed out to guests before setting them out on the dessert display tables (for space purposes). However, many guests were only offered the groom's cake. Be sure to request for guests to be served both varieties when booking if that's important to you. :)
b) A lot of effort went into planning the timing of meal service, however the day of the event that was not followed to a T. The dessert displays, which were supposed to be made available later in the evening, were set up hours early. I pointed this out to Megan, and she made sure the displays were taken down until later.
c) When we arrived home from the wedding, we found our custom cake topper split into two. I reached out to Megan, and she learned it had split when removed from the cake. She was more than apologetic and generously offered to replace the item for us.
Overall, we were thrilled with the personal attention we received from Megan and the delicious food prepared by her team. We would absolutely hire BTB again and highly recommend them for your special event!
We hosted our wedding at The Carlisle Room, where Beyond the Box is the exclusive caterer. Beyond the Box offers creative, unique, and delicious options for any pallet. For our wed...
ding we started with 3 types of hors d’oeuvres (sweet chili meatballs, jambalaya cakes, and mac & cheese cakes) which were probably all my favorite part of the meal. For dinner we went non-traditional and had three stations (chicken & waffle, sliders, and pasta) – and they were a huge hit with our guests! Finally, we went off-menu with “milk and cookie shooters” which they made specifically for us. Their ability to create and execute is fantastic. We would highly recommend Beyond the Box for any of your catering needs.
Beyond the Box was incredible! We had the pleasure of working with Megan who made the whole process a breeze. She was very flexible and responsive whenever we had a question or nee...
ded to make a change. We went with their action stations, and they were a HUGE hit with our guests. We continue to get compliments on the food and service to this day. Do yourself a favor and hire BTB catering for your wedding!

Would definitely recommend Beyond the Box. I was really out of my element with all the food choices and event details, but Megan was very understanding and explained everything so ...
clearly. She helped me make decisions without being demanding or condescending. Her experience spoke volumes and made me confident that everything was taken care of. She kept in contact with me and was easy to get a hold of if I ever had a question. The day of the wedding, she had everything running smoothly and always made sure we had food and drinks.
The food options were diverse and flexible. We made some changes during the tasting and it was executed perfectly. Our guests said it was the best wedding food they have ever had! Can't argue with that!
Beyond the Box was a great choice to cater our wedding! Megan was so helpful and responsive through the entire process. My husband and I must have gone back and forth with changes ...
a dozen times and Megan was always quick to respond and happy to help us with every request. They also had SOOOO many menu selections! It almost made it hard for my husband and I to choose what to serve, but everything they made was absolutely delicious! Our guests raved about our dinner and we actually had plenty of leftovers which made my husband and I so happy because we got to continue eating our delicious wedding dinner even after the wedding :) If you are looking for a great event caterer, with deliciously amazing food for a very reasonable price, look no further than BTB Weddings!
FABULOUS!!! My husband and I have been to tons of weddings before we tied the knot last weekend! We were very skeptical in our food choices since the venue we were getting married ...

My husband and I were so relieved to get the quality food we had tasted be served at the wedding the same if not better!! Thank you so much!!

Working with Megan de Farcy was wonderful. She held our hand through it all, hosted a great tasting event ahead of time and was there for the dinner. All the servers and attendants were friendly and helped my 90-year old mother get her plate filled. Guests raved to me about the food. It was a magical event. Highly recommend BtB!

Although our venue required only two options for catering, we were glad to work with Beyond the Box. Asian cuisine isn't easy to make and we appreciate that BTB offered other optio...
ns that worked for us. We opted not to serve Asian food in the end, but the Italian theme we chose worked out perfectly. Our guests all had great compliments with the food! We enjoyed working with Megan as well. She really was so patient and understanding when we didn't like dishes at our tasting and gave really good suggestions and alternatives. Our biggest piece of advice to any couple is be honest about the food. BTB can handle the truth and they are always good about serving dishes that work with our palates. My husband and I are really really happy with what we had on our wedding day. We both regret not eating more!
I contacted multiple vendors for my wedding and eventually went with Beyond the Box because of their menus (so many items you will eventually find something you like) and Megan's a...

Our wedding guests loved the food and so did my husband and I... especially since we got leftovers boxed up for us! And the staff were all kind, helpful, and professional.
