Zest catered our wedding in June and we still hear compliments from our guests. Zest was great to work with and their food was absolutely delicious! Picking out food for our wedding was a bit overwhelming but zest was great with allowing multiple food tastings to help decide what we wanted on our food menu. They did everything we expected and more. We highly recommend Zest.
When we first started looking for vendors for our wedding reception, Zest was recommended to us by SO MANY people. Everyone said they had the best tasting food around, and they were not lying! Zest was very communicative, they have a TON of options to accommodate anyone, and the food was BEYOND amazing!
We decided to go with a pasta buffet that included penne pasta, 3 different sauces, vegetarian lasagna for our vegetarian friends, salad, and breadsticks. The meatballs were to die for, the rosa sauce with sausage, onions and peppers were phenomenal, the chicken carbonara was so creamy and delicious, and the vegetarian lasagna impressed literally everyone! Everyone I talked to said they went up for seconds.
For dessert we went with their assorted bars and brownies, and all of them were DELICIOUS. The lemon bars were tart, the brownies were rich, and the banana bars had so much flavor and the creamiest, melt-in-your-mouth frosting I've ever had.
What really sealed the deal for me was the fact that they were SO willing to accomodate a vegan guest and created a chef's choice vegan meal at no extra cost. All he had to do was let the caterers know who he was and they brought it out to him. He had nothing but amazing things to say about it, and said it was very filling and flavorful.
The staff did such an incredible job clearing off tables (everyone barely even noticed they were there, they were that quick and efficient) and were so kind and professional. Before they left, they wished us a wonderful marriage and gave us a rundown on what we had for leftovers and where they were.
All in all, I would HIGHLY recommend zest for any and all of your catering needs!
Our service was top notch and the quality of the food was amazing!
We had an awesome experience with Zest Catering today for a business event! Wow! Great staff, excellent food and a fantastic customer experience for our group. I will definately be a repeat customer! Thanks Jennifer and the Team for making my event over the top! A+++
Everyone loved the food. Loads of flavor! The severs were top notch. The house made desserts were incredible. Thank you for taking such good care of our party!
I had a chance to try their food last week, and the chicken and salmon were specially great! They had a variety of sides, and I enjoyed everything that I sampled.
Great food, awesome help!
We used zest catering for our wedding. They supplied food for our cocktail hour, dinner, and dessert table. The food was a huge hit! We received many compliments from our guests! Zest has plenty of food options and customizations allowing you to get exactly what you want. They offer monthly tastings to help you choose from their expansive menu. They were very easy and fast with communication as well. Would recommend zest catering for any event!
Working with Zest was one of our absolutely favorite vendor experiences for our wedding- leading up to the big day (once you've paid your deposit) you have an option to attend monthly tasting with other couples who have booked them. We felt like we got to try a little bit of everything before the big day. AND- we got to take leftovers home after the wedding (in the containers we provided) 10/10 experience!! Plus, the food is actually TRULY delicious :)
From tastings to our actual wedding day, Zest did a fantastic job! They were professional, communicative, and timely. We chose the “action station” menu and our guests haven’t stopped giving compliments. My only wish is that I had eaten more the day of!! Thank you, Zest! We look forward to using you again for our catering needs.

Zest Catering was incredible!!! Such an easy planning process and the food was absolutely incredible. Couldn’t recommend more!!!
Zest was fantastic catering our wedding! They were very helpful in the planning process and kept things running smoothly the day of the event for cocktail hour and dinner. As we made the rounds and chatted with guests throughout the evening, so many of them complimented the food - everyone loved it!
Highly recommend Zest Catering! Used their services for our daughter’s wedding and it was great! A slight mix up in set up time but in actuality, it worked out better for the wedding! Food was great, set up was very nice, and the staff who delivered the food were professional! I’d use them again in a second!
We have experienced Zest four separate times including several different themes/cuisines. Everything has been so delicious, cooked to perfection and excellently prepared. The entire team met with me and followed up multiple times when I had specific requests and or dietary restrictions; they are so personable and professional. Highly Recommend!
Ordered Catering, she said she would deliver and never showed up or called me back!
