Grandview Catering

coordinated everything with our venue and provided suggestions for us when we weren't sure which options were best for us.

as kept warm and full at all times. They are very easy to work with!

il hour/dinner service go off without a hitch!

our menu was so seamless, with everyone at Grandview coordinating with our venue to make sure even the smallest details were nailed down and everyone was on the same page. Jen sent an incredible first draft for our menu, going off very few clues, only that we are going for a Michigan-y, mostly vegetarian, autumnal theme. Based off just a few comments, they quickly finalized the menu and we had absolutely zero things to change after our official tasting. It was amazing to have 100% flexibility in our menu and no limitations. Also, they helped accommodate a single vegan guest with an almost comically delicious and vibrant meal. They also accommodated a last minute RSVP's tree nut allergy. My father even came up to me to say that was the best salad he ever had and I'm inclined to agree. The next day, as all the "I wish we had time for xyz's" began to settle, my husband and I's top regret is not eating more mashed potatoes or at least asking for some to be saved for later. When asked if they had a good time, VERY many guests simply responded with "uuugh the mashed potatoes!!" No other words necessary lol. Thank you Jen, Joanne, the chef and the entirety of the Grandview team for creating potent, delicious memories for us and all of our guests.

working with Jen and team on creating a proposed menu, and a quote, the entire process was so smooth. I can see exactly why they are the preferred caterer for such an amazing and popular venue. The planning and booking process was easy, their response times were fast, and pricing was normal compared to others. We had 255 guests and went with a plated meal- we offered chicken, beef, and a vegetarian option. Jen hosted us for our tasting, and we fell in love with the food! It was SO GOOD! Especially the chicken. And on our wedding day, we received countless compliments on how it was the best wedding food our guests have ever had. The servers worked fast and efficient, we ran into zero problems, and the food was served hot to all 255 people. They were extremely accommodating and helpful as I have celiac disease and needed some Gluten Free options for myself- Jen was so generous and went above and beyond to make sure I could enjoy my wedding meal. I literally could write a whole book on how amazing Grandview was for our wedding. If you are getting married in TC, just book them! Save yourself the time of looking around anymore because you will not find better!!!

of my bridal party members due to health problems. Highly recommend!!

Love them. On another note. My wedding venue was cancelled found a new place with just a couple months to go and Grandview made it happen I was so please with the whole process.

cktail hour and they did a fantastic job. Their entire team was so kind and easy to work with as well.

nned for summer 2020). Highly recommend!

constant communication with us and helped to ease our worries. We received rave reviews on the food from our guests and the Grandview team was so careful and understanding in addressing our guests allergies. We highly recommend them for your wedding or next event!

sy to work with, and provided us with everything we needed to provide a great experience to our guests. Highly recommend!!

by the way) but then Covid happened and we had to change our menu. I didn't know what to expect since we couldn't do another tasting but OMG it was so good! Even the professional chef who was at our wedding commented on how juicy and flavorful our chicken was! Jen is great at communicating and their bartenders were so nice and friendly! Best service and best food!

with and did not disappoint. Would definitely recommend!!

et up beautifully. Everything was a hit, and the staff really takes care of you and clears things and is always around when needed. Wouldn't have picked anyone else to do our wedding.

track down strawberries for our event, even though they weren’t available locally yet. Jen & her team were wonderful to work with.

to have our food at our wedding. That being said, the day of our food left a lot of be desired. Our chicken looked as if it was boiled or steamed and had about a tablespoon of sauce on it with one cherry. Our Brussels sprouts were mushy, not crisp like they had been. We spoke with multiple guests and everyone reluctantly admitted the food was mediocre and lacking in flavor. The desserts were phenomenal. Because we were so disappointed in our actual food the day of we had to know a few stars, hopefully this was a fluke situation and doesn’t happen all the time.

e to enjoy the day knowing the bar, cocktail hour and dinner was taken care of! If I ever have an event again, I will be choosing Grandview Catering.

e plated entree options with passed hors d'oeuvres and a table spread of appetizers as well. The presentation was incredible during cocktail hour! The highest compliment I could give comes from our guests, who kept telling us it was the best service they've ever had at a wedding reception. The servers were happy and professional the whole time. We did a tasting before the wedding and it was incredible. I didn't expect the final result (serving to 150 people) to be quite the same, but it was very close. The beef tenderloin was cooked perfectly medium rare which is often not the case at weddings. I'd recommend Grandview to anyone - they did not disappoint.

top of it! Highly recommend!

OD! Jen was very accommodating with what we envisioned and the entire Grandview team really excelled the day of with service and dinner. Thank you!

a lot) and was able to accommodate a couple special dishes form my guests. Also so much more knowledgeable than just food and helpful in all areas! Wonderful to work with and I definitely recommend Grandview services to anyone the wants great food, with professional deliver!

with our schedules and budget! The tasting was so much fun and the servers were INCREDIBLE at the wedding. So friendly and polite. And the food! OMG THE FOOD! We received so many compliments on our Mediterranean inspired menu! Thanks so, so much!

and reliable, and creative. We arranged for a tasting before deciding on menu options and tried the salmon, the brisket, the beef, and the chicken. All were delicious! We settled on the beef and the chicken, and the food was excellent on the day of. Beef was tender and perfectly cooked, and the chicken was a savory crowd pleaser. Appetizers were also delicious and had a "special" feel--we did crab lollipops, garbanzo soup shooters, and a bunch of other yummy things. We also had a full bar with two relatively complicated signature drinks. Grandview provided the bartenders, and they did a phenomenal job. We also had Grandview do the post-wedding brunch at my parents' house. They arrived on time, did all of the cleanup and setup, and the food was great! We were so glad that we decided to cater the brunch as it took away all the stress. Highly recommend Grandview. Food tastes great and is beautifully presented, just what you're looking for in a wedding. You will not be disappointed!

food they've ever had at a wedding. Everyone at Grandview, from the chefs to the serving staff, were extremely professional and friendly. All of the food arrived to the tables warm (which is a problem we've experienced as guests at quite a few weddings) and tasted great. They adjusted some dishes to fit certain dietary requirements of a few of a our guests without a problem. I would absolutely recommend Grandview Catering to anyone!

rking with us, and fit a menu/plan that fit perfectly in our wedding reception. They have a very large variety of entrees/appetizers to select from, and provided us an opportunity for a tasting prior to the wedding. Our guests raved about the food, and are still talking about it, 3 months later!! We heard several times how it was the best wedding food guests had ever had - quite the compliment! We also used Grandview to cater our rehearsal dinner, and they created a more casual menu for our event that was still absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend to anyone!

ing process including assisting us with figuring out the logistics of setting up our own venue. Jen was always friendly, available to answer our questions, and willing to help us problem solve. The day of the wedding everything looked fantastic; the food was absolutely delicious and the staff was great. The presentation of the food was stunning and everything was fresh and hot. I also cannot say enough positive things about the service - Everyone went above and beyond to make sure our guests were happy, always with a full drink and a clean table. Almost 6 months later I am still getting complements from my family about how amazing the food was and how impressed everyone was with the service provided. I would absolutely recommend Grandview to anybody looking for an outstanding food and drink experience!

. They are professional and work within your budget to give you and your guests a delightful meal...no matter what your budget. They made the food one less thing to have to worry about!

eir service! We have such a passion for the wedding business and our soul goal for every event is to assure that our clients are so happy that we far exceed their expectations here at Frog Pond Village! Grandview Catering seems to have a natural knack for doing just that!

elt like members of the team that we could depend upon. They also worked with us to understand our budget and provided several very helpful options for us to make our day beautiful and affordable. Our 160 guests enjoyed plated salads and two double-sided buffet tables with a chicken and a pork entree. We also had a few served appetizers and one appetizer table and bartenders (we provided the alcohol). The food was fantastic (we heard a lot of rave reviews), and the buffet lines ran incredibly smoothly. The servers did a great job releasing guests and keeping the tables clean - I can't believe we ever sweated the plated vs. buffet choice. It wasn't an issue as everything was so organized and professional. I highly recommend working with Grandview catering. We had a great experience!

. The service (setting up arranging display) was perfect, no details left out, and the food displayed beautifully! Our guests were so impressed, and they have a wonderful menu for ALL tastes. We had some dietary restrictions with our guests, (vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free), which they accommodated without difficulty. We were so happy with this event, I would highly recommend Grandview for any event you are planning.

dview Catering, we never tried another caterer. They know and understand not only our needs as a venue but also the needs of the bride, groom, and whoever else is offering their input on the wedding. We've seen all sorts of offerings and setups - BBQ, 7-course meals, buffet, etc. Every one is done well with perfect preparation, superb setup, and excellent execution. I've also used them for our own events - special weekends we hold twice a year for our guests and employee parties. I've yet to have a bad experience with them and that's going over 10 first-hand experiences and probably around 50 more experiences as being the wedding venue. I have also enjoyed that they follow-up after events to make sure everything was good and if anything needed to be addressed. Long story short, they will conform to your needs and help add flare if you want it or stay in the shadows if you want it. Either way, they'll do it wonderfully! It won't be a wedding where your guests say, "That's bad food." They'll remember good food and the real focus of the day - you and your new spouse!

e top customer service. They are one vendor that NEVER lets me down. They are the ONE vendor that I NEVER worry about. They get it right 100% of the time.

guest list, and all of our expectations were met with Grandview. We were blown away at the tasting and our guests loved the food at the wedding as well. Grandview was very flexible in schedule our tasting- we actually had to cancel and reschedule once due to some personal conflicts, and we had no problems in doing so. Their staff is also great at working with you to ensure that you have planned for everything you will need and they are more than willing to provide suggestions to make sure you are prepared for the day. They also made sure that the bride and groom were taken care of on the day, which we greatly appreciated. Would definitely use them again for any of our catering needs!

ad.

ce was wonderful. They went above and beyond to make sure the event was spectacular!

t but this wasn't at all! The only small issue we had was the food wasn't quite warm enough but the flavor of everything was great! Very VERY reasonably priced! Very impressed!
