Our experience with Shandi at Special Times Catering was absolutely amazing! My husband and I had Special Times cater our wedding last September and people are still talking about the food! It was SO good! Throughout the planning process, Shandi was so helpful and accommodated all our requests. The day of the event, the service was outstanding! After our ceremony, Shandi and a few of her employees were waiting for our wedding party with a platter of appetizers and drinks for us to have in between the ceremony and photos. Our buffet table looked amazing as well! Highly recommend!

Best decision I made was hiring Special Times Catering to cater my daughter’s wedding! I initially hired another local caterer which ended up being a horrible decision and quickly cancelled that contract and booked with Mindy at Special Times Catering. I knew right away I had made the very best decision! Mindy was always so thorough and helpful with walking me through the process of planning and making decisions. They are an amazing company that handles not only the food but also the rentals along with set up, clean up and planning of the timing of events for the entire evening. When we got closer to the date, my daughter and I had an in-person meeting with Shandi, who went over every detail which really helped us think through some critical planning. Shandi was very professional, friendly and responsive to my emails. She even went out of her way to meet me the day before the wedding to pick up the linens so we could have them earlier than the day of. The day of the wedding was PERFECT! The catering staff was very professional, and all of the food was AMAZING!! If you are looking for a caterer for any event… look no further! Special Times Catering was hands down one of the best decisions I made when planning my daughter’s wedding!

As a venue owner we are always meeting new caterers, and I have to say that Special Times Catering has the most incredible set up, crew, and last but not least FOOD. The experience with them has just been amazing, everyone was so nice, efficient, and respectful of the property. I can't say enough good things about this catering company, if your looking for great food and a great experience. Special Times Catering is it!

Shandi and Mindy are true culinary professionals and super fun to work with! Special Times catered my pre-wedding and wedding events. They have an extensive variety of food on their menu and are always willing to collaborate to design a creative, custom menu for your event. For one of my pre-wedding events, they created the most beautiful, multi-layered charcuterie board. Our guests absolutely devoured it! I highly recommend Special TImes to anybody looking for delicious, fresh food for their events!

Shandi and Special Times were absolutely amazing and I not only recommend them, but would strongly encourage anyone to use Special Times as a caterer for their event. Special Times catered our June wedding. The food was absolutely delicious! We had guests tell us it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. Shandi and Mindy were great from the beginning, helping us come up with a menu and plan quickly and efficiently in our first meeting. They have been catering for a long time, and we had immediate confidence in their ability and that they were attentive to details. They were extremely responsive and helpful later on as well after we had booked them for our event. They went above and beyond. They had a pretty cake stand and cutting utensils we could use. When asked if gold plastic silverware could be used instead of the regular silver to match our colors, Shandi said no problem at all, she’d order some. Special Times set up all our table decorations and even our guest book table. This was abnormally difficult due to rainy weather earlier in the day, and then we were tied up catching up when we were fortunate enough to have great weather later in the day. Shandi and the special times staff really shined brightly in this crunch time to make our special time special. This was SO huge! And then later, Shandi even made sure wedding gifts were safe and put in our room. There were a few other wise on the fly decisions, such as due to wind we cut the cake a little early which worked out great. Every opportunity possible Special Times went above and beyond our expectations. You will be so happy going with Special Times.

One of the only full service caterers in the North State. Food is always delicious and service is always top notch. Can't wait to see which wedding they are going to be at next!
