Katherine's Catering did a phenomenal job for our wedding. They provided a wide variety of fantastic options for food. Also, they took care of linens and beverage needs as well. Our venue spoke very highly of how professional and reliable they are to work with. We received many compliments on the food from our guests. Everything I tasted was delicious and they took excellent care of us and all of our guests. Thank you so much Katherine's for making our special day so great. We relied on you and you all came through and exceeded our expectations. If you are having a wedding you should definitely reach out to Katherine's Catering.

Katherine's Catering did a fabulous job at our 50th wedding Anniversary on August 11 2023. The food was exceptional especially the Prime Rib and the summer squash risotto. Chicken also was yummm! And the dessert shooters...highly recommend!Antoinette was our event planner. She coordinated everything including the beautiful linens, chargers, tent etc. The servers and bartenders were all very pleasant and orofessional. Wonderful to work with. I will post our professional photos soon. This is our night shot.

Katherine’s is the best caterer in Ann Arbor. They manage a big holiday party for me including food, tables, chairs, linens, serving and clean up. I actually have fun at my party! I highly recommend.

I attended a dear friend's daughter's wedding last night at Lyon Oak's Banquet Center. I have experienced Katherine's Catering a number of times over the years, always receiving a 5-star experience. Last night was terrible.There was no visible supervisor or manager on duty overseeing flow of service, the venue or quality control. The bar was not staffed properly making service frustratingly slow and delaying the bridal entry and foodservice. The food servers, while friendly, were not properly trained and were painfully slow. The salads were limp, the rolls cold, chicken & beef were overcooked & luke warm at best. The ice cream was never served; left to melt in glass racks around the ball room. The wedding cake was cut up and placed on a table with no announcement from anyone that it was served...same with the pretzel station (also luke warm). The FOB's table was served last, 1.5 hours after the head table was served. Little Caesars pizzas appeared on their table. I am not sure if they ordered them themselves or if it was a botched pizza station that arrived before dinner service was even complete. The dinner dishes were left on tables far too long, so long that the family actually cleared their own tables. Bathrooms were not cleaned throughout the evening; running out of paper towels, toilet paper and trash overflowing.ALL OF THIS was not acceptable. A wedding is a once in a lifetime experience. Many years of thoughts and dreams from the wedding couple and their families go into the planning of this day. Weddings are made up of a thousand details, many of which were missed. I know how frustrated and disappointed the Mother-of-the-bride and many others were last night. There is no amount of money in a refund or an apology that can fix or compensate all of the wrongs that occurred that took away from this service and F&B experience. Katherine's Catering you are better than this.

I highly recommend Katherine's Catering. I used them for the first time for our office Holiday Celebration. The food was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious.

Catered business dinners for two nights. Food was delicious - everyone had nothing but positive feedback. We relied on them to deliver and bring/do all set up and it worked out perfectly. Highly recommend and will use again.

Exceptional catering service! The entrees and sides are incredible, enough to make it worth ordering meals for as little as three people.
It was very frustrating to work with the wedding coordinator and not easy to get ahold of her. In Oct 2020 she had been very difficult to get in touch with regarding COVID and would not tell us what our options were for cancelling. Finally we got the okay to cancel with a full refund so we went with that and made other plans. We had to call back in December and speak with another person about getting that refund which she said we should again receive soon. We had to call back AGAIN in Jan and this time the boss of the first two employees said we would not get our full deposit back although we were already promised it by two employees. He said we would only get half if we chose to get money now. But if we waited until the day of the wedding and they couldn't perform we would get the full deposit back BUT if we waited and they could perform, they would charge us the full contract amount. However, they would probably somehow figure out a way to charge us rather than refund us due to the nature of them not honoring TWO of their employees actions. HEAVILY disappointed. Business crapping on the little man. Nickel and diming during a pandemic is not going to help a struggling business; but good service could help pull you out of trouble afterward.

If there was an option to give 0, I would not hesitate to give 0. They were very unprofessional.Our Experience,1) We have been following up with them for our upcoming event since 2 weeks. Initially they mentioned they will give us proposal in a week as they were so busy. which we never received and then we were told that they will give us proposal by today and still they didn't give us, but we got response that their system is under maintenance and they should be providing proposal by 2 pm. and at 2 pm they replied on email saying that they wont be able to provide proposal by end of today as well and unfortunately they will not take anymore business for June 2021.2) we considered that will get proposal and will sign it to finalize so we already started planning decorations and other needs but now we are screwed up by them when we are just left with 19 days from our event and we have to start from the scratch at other location.3) Initially provided prices were not honored, They gave one pricing at the beginning and also when we had tour of the place they gave contract which also had same pricing but now they say they changed pricing according to their planner but they don't have it documented anywhere that they can show us on paper. so unprofessional.4) they mentioned they are working on proposals for this and next weekend I don't know how with out any proposal they booked all weekends of June and stopped taking anymore business.I have never worked with any one of this unprofessional in my entire life.I would say Please put a second thought before waiting on them as they don't care about the excitement and importance of your event.

This was the best catered service ever. The food was great. All of our guests wanted to know who was the caterer. We were very happy.

I recently engaged Katherines Catering for a small graduation reception for my daughter. Due to the complicated Covid restrictions, I also worked with Katie on planning the event and I couldn't be more grateful that I did- Especially since I am in a different state and she made the whole party planning process completely stress-free -- keeping in mind all Covid safety guidelines. Katie was professional, calm, detail-orientated, creative and her added touches such as balloons, flowers and labels were all beautiful and beyond my expectations. In addition, the food was DELICIOUS and presented beautifully. The staff was top-notch as well. I can't recommend Katie Cobb and the team at Katherines's Catering highly enough! You will be able to sit back and feel like a guest at your own event!
