I cannot say enough amazing things about Catering Works!!! We had the absolute pleasure of working with their team for our 2025 November wedding and every little detail was immaculate.

We had originally hired them for our wedding when we were getting married at a venue in Raleigh, which ended up closing shortly after our booking, but Catering Works did not hesitate to ensure they were still part of our day even through the transition of booking a new venue. And although a lot of the preparation stations were different from our original venue to the new venue, they stepped up to ensure we still had a 5 star experience for us and our guests, making it work no matter where our big day was taking place. Their ability to pivot with us and still provide support throughout was so appreciated.

As for the staff itself, we worked with Nicole, who ensured every detail from the bar needs to appetizers, small plates, late night snacks, desserts, and the main course were thoroughly thought through from start to finish. Even after hundreds of emails back and forth and phone calls, she was incredibly kind and gracious throughout answering every small question with enthusiasm.

We not only enjoyed the amazing food, but the staff as well. They were an incredibly kind group and made everyone feel welcome and acknowledged throughout cocktail hour and the reception.

We cannot recommend Catering Works enough to any future brides/grooms as well as any other major life events where amazing food is a necessity!

Sharing my experience using Catering Works for a small 10 person dinner party. From the first call to picking up the meal the staff at catering works were so professional, helpful, and they created a wonderful dinner. It’d be easy to brush aside small orders when you have many large events to do but Pam helped me create a menu to create a nice dinner for my mom’s birthday. The process was simple, they were responsive and the day of pickup the staff were ready with a delicious meal. My guests raved about the food. I just wanted to acknowledge the staff onsite Saturday during pickup. They were loading 4 trucks of large catering orders and yet they were ready with my tiny order. They ensured everything was there and packaged to safely transport to my home. I highly recommend them for your next private dinner or event.

Catering Works did a fantastic job for my daughter's wedding. The food was delicious, with many guests telling me so, and the staff was outstanding. I can't say enough about how helpful they were during the event. I would use them again in a heartbeat.

I used Catering Works for my daughter’s recent wedding. My daughter, her husband and many friends are gluten free. The menu was carefully crafted to serve both gluten free and gluten eating guests the same high quality food. My daughter’s desires for her reception were exceeded. The food and staff were excellent. I highly recommend

I have been in the Triangle for over 30 years and I’ve attended a bevy of private and professional events. I also produce of chef podcast so I am serious about my food and libations. Catering Works is THE standout for everything I adore! They are a local company who’ve grown from two sister’s cooking in a small kitchen to the top caterer in our area. With good reason. They put their heart and soul into each and every event making an unforgettable experience for their customers and guests. It’s obvious by the empty plates and glasses and smiling faces. Their attention to detail, creative concepts, super friendly and professional staff and eye popping, delicious made-from-scratch dishes are unmatched. It was important to give them love because they’ve given us so much over the decades. If you need a caterer for any event, small or extravagant, Catering Works should be your first call! (And don’t forget their florist, Bloomworks and Ella’s
Popcorn!!!)

Catering work did the food for my graduation party and it was nothing short of amazing! We had Spanish tapas, and they were so attentive when it came to curating custom drinks at the bar! Their staff was so kind and amazing, 15/10 experience!

Don't let these reviews get you - the food was cold and bland!

We worked with Catering Works for our company’s Open House, and I can’t say enough good things — especially about Nicole Flynn. She was incredibly organized, communicative, and thoughtful throughout the planning process. Every detail was clear and handled in advance, which made all the difference on event day.

The food was absolutely fantastic — beautifully presented, fresh, and delicious. We had so many guests comment on how impressive it was.

On-site, Dee and the entire team were friendly, professional, and smooth — everything was set up exactly as discussed, and they made our event feel effortless.

If you’re planning an event and want it to go right, work with Nicole and the Catering Works team. Total pros.
