We hired Catering by Kelly's for our wedding and they were amazing! The food was delicious and the service was exceptional. Josh and his staff were professional and easy to work with. They made the planning process easy and smooth. Everything was perfect on our wedding day. Our guests are still talking about how amazing the food was. They took such good care of our guests and us. Some of our guests and myself have food allergies and Josh really helped out with that and made sure that we were taken care of. We are so happy that we went with Catering by Kelly's. Thank you for making our special day so amazing!

We went with Catering by Kelly's for our wedding last weekend at the recommendation of our venue. We went in blind not being able to do a tasting beforehand as we booked them on short notice but thankfully reviews and word of mouth did not disappoint and everything was amazing. From the first greeting where Chelsea came up and gave me hand warmers to hold around my bouquet to keep me warm to making sure we got appetizers while pictures were being done, to even taking care of a last minute change for the grooms meal, the staff went above and beyond and were so accommodating. The food was not at all your typical wedding food, everything exceeded expectations. We got many compliments about how good it all was. I wouldnt hesitate to go with them again. Definitely recommend.

We couldn’t recommend Catering by Kelly’s enough! We hired them to cater our wedding in late October and it was absolutely incredible. We went with the Mexican Buffet and it was so delicious! We got so many compliments from our guests about the food, especially the flank steak! The hors d'oeuvres for cocktail hour were also super good, so the whole food package was great! The serving staff was also phenomenal( our head caterer was Kaitlyn and she was so wonderful! Very attentive and sweet! Highly recommend her!!) and the buffet was well organized and there was never really a long wait to get to food. If there’s one thing you don’t want to skimp on at a wedding, it’s the food. And Catering by Kelly’s was absolutely worth it and we couldn’t be happier that we chose them!
Also, on a side note, I’m a wedding DJ myself and I’ve had most of the other dishes from Kelly’s and ALL of them are absolutely fantastic!

Catering by Kelly's exceeded our expectations! We hired them to cater our wedding at Castle Farms this past September and were extremely impressed with their wide variety of menu items, quick communication, and of course, how absolutely delicious the food was! So many of our guests made a point to come up to us during and after the wedding to tell us how much they enjoyed the food. The staff members were extremely kind to us and our guests, too. Leading up to the wedding, Josh was able to answer all of our questions and walked us through every detail that we needed to be aware of. The bartenders were fantastic and were receptive to us having a few signature cocktails and mocktails to prepare for our guests. We wholeheartedly recommend Catering by Kelly's to anyone needing amazing catering services!

We used Catering by Kelly’s for our wedding last weekend. Credit where credit is due: excellent customer service and responsive emails. Several wait staff went out of their way to help out during dinner service, and dishes were cleared from the table promptly. Fairly cheap prices too. Everything was good on paper. Unfortunately, we were disappointed in the food. We had a buffet chicken piccata, carved steamship round, potatoes, and pasta. The chicken was bone dry, the pasta was overcooked, and the round (though pretty yummy) was served with butter knives. Our guests were sawing at the meat to cut it. We definitely would have paid extra for the steak knives, had we known they weren’t included. We overheard some of our guests say that our spread was “typical wedding food,” and that did not feel good. Though I wouldn’t use this service again, they did fulfill the contract. It is what it is.

Great service for our small outdoor wedding! Great communication prior to the wedding. We also had bar service and the staff was excellent. They went above and beyond to make our day special. We had rain at the end of the night and staff stayed despite the inclement weather. Would highly recommend to anyone having a wedding in the Traverse City areas

Flawless! We saw Kelly’s in action at a friends wedding and knew they were who we wanted for our wedding. Phone calls with Josh were incredibly informative and structured, staff from bartenders to waitstaff were outstanding, the food was fantastic, and the attention to detail was profound. As bride and groom we were immediately welcomed with our signature drinks, appetizers, were asked throughout the night if we needed anything, and left with two loaded to-go boxes. Do not hesitate to book Kelly’s, we could not be happier that we did!!!

Absolutely love them!!! Jeremey is top notch! Food is perfect everytime, the sweetest employees, honestly a wonderful catering company!!! You cannot go wrong with them!

My husband and I used Catering by Kelly’s for our wedding and we couldn’t recommend them more! It’s been over a week now and people are still talking about how great the food was. Josh was very attentive to our needs leading up to the big day and everyone on the day of the wedding, including the bartenders were excellent and we are so thankful! Bianca made sure we were fed and had a beverage throughout the entire event. Such an angel!! 11/10 experience- highly recommend!
Donovan Havens
My wife and I booked Catering By Kelly’s for our wedding. Offered a tasting and a ton of help before our event. Great experience and their staff on site were phenomenal the night of!
We chose Catering by Kellys for our wedding at Bay View at Gallagher Farms. Josh was amazing during the planning process, he always responded promptly and professionally. He was very helpful in making our menu that had something for everyone with a dietary restriction. All our guests had great things to say. The day of Bianca was so attentive and always made sure me and my husband were taken care of. I would recommend them to anyone in the northern Michigan area!

I recommend Catering By Kelly’s if you’re looking for budget friendly, yummy food!
The food portion at the carving station was awesome- he was very professional and accommodating.
The runner was accommodating and always checking to see if we were ok or if we needed anything.
My 3 star is for the bartending service employee. We were told by a handful of guests that she was conducting herself unprofessionally to our guests. We were told that she was talking badly about the bride & groom for a simple mix up that didn’t involved them. For the unprofessionalism, if I could give her a one star I would.
For the businesses sake, the only bad feedback I have is for the bartender but doesn’t make or break our feelings about the company overall. Everything else worked out well & our guest liked the food!

Being a wedding vendor myself, I talk to countless brides about the other vendors they booked and how their experiences went. I see Catering By Kellys at so many of my own clients’ weddings and hear so many wonderful things about their experience with them and the quality of their food that they were the first vendor I pursued in my own wedding planning.
On the day of, their staff were well dressed and beyond professional. They took such good care of my husband and I and just added so positively to our guests’ overall experience.
We decided on a family style dinner format which was just an absolutely amazing option to have. Our tables shared and conversed over food as if each table was having an elegant thanksgiving feast. The tenderloin was flavorful and perfectly cooked. The chicken was juicy and fell right off the bone. Everything was hot, fresh, and delicious.
Josh is amazing to work with. He’s precise with the details and truly makes himself available for his clients. I left the reception hall to get my hair done in the bridal suite and when I came back out every single place setting was immaculately set. They pay attention to every detail. I’ve worked with them on all styles of events, small, large, formal, and casual and they hit it out of the park every time.
You are in the best hands and will receive the best product available if you book Catering By Kellys.
Thank you so much for being such a special part of one of the best days of my life.

Josh and his team did an incredible job catering my wedding! We loved the family style dishes, and our guests all raved about the food (which to be honest, is rare for a wedding!). It was also so nice to have a one-stop shop for food, bartending, glassware, linens… Catering by Kelly’s took care of everything and the day went so seamlessly! Thank you for an wonderful wedding dinner!
