Valerie Gunnels is my ride or die

When you go into wedding planning, you don't expect to become best friends with your caterer. But that's exactly what happened. Valerie and I hit it off, and she worked tirelessly - while pregnant! - to make Max and I's special day flawless for us. Nothing deterred her. Her mother passed away early on, and Valerie kept at it. Our contact at the Harn Museum changed and some new policies were enacted, and Valerie was unfazed. From setting up a last-minute tailgate to arranging tables by tea bags, priming a memorial table and decking out Scottish plaids and favors all over the place, taking excellent care of my friend's homemade centerpieces and giving us the perfect numbers for a booze list, even staging a buffet in a tiny space and making the best damn potatoes I've ever encountered, our guests could not stop raving about the delicious food, generous portions (our cake was at least 2 inch thick blocks!), tasty sangria, and beautiful presentation. I'm thankful that Celebrations always had their doors open so my MIL and I could drop off items. I'm grateful for the tastings so I could perfect the vegan jackfruit option. I'm ecstatic that Valerie is my bud, so I can see what life brings her way. If it's anything like what Celebrations put on for my wedding, it'll be nothing short of spectacular. Classy business, even picking up slack for other vendors and comping items like extra tables when the write-up from a vendor was incorrect. This company treats you like family. I'll remember them like family, too.

Couldn't ask for a better Catering team!!

My now husband and I worked with Jessica and she was amazing! She was honest, helpful, personable, and made the planning process much easier for me. She is really great at what she does!! I appreciated that she listened well, and offered her insights at the right time. On the day of the wedding, she worked closely with my coordinator and other vendors to make sure both the ceremony and reception went smoothly. They went above and beyond to make us happy, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the service. The food was tasty and the bartenders did their thing for our guests. Everyone raved about how much fun they had and that was largely due to Jessica and her team. If I could do it over again (which me and my husband joked about because it was SUCH an amazing day), I would totally choose Jessica and Celebrations. Our wedding was such a memorable experience! Thank y’all so much for coming through for us and doing a phenomenal job!

Above and beyond!

Celebrations, and Branden specifically, did an incredible job with our wedding!! We knew that Branden was something special when he spent---no joke--two hours with us at our venue walk-through going over the potential layout, different decor we could do, variations on the menu, how to design the cocktail hour, you name it! This was on the same day as our tasting, where everything was delicious, and the displays were beautiful! We were planning from out of town, so it was imperative that our caterer could take care of food, set-up, bartending, linens, high-chairs, and (to our delight) much of the actual decorating! We made a powerpoint with slides from Pinterest of different decor ideas based on what Celebrations had in stock (crates, signs, etc) and Branden took it and ran with it---and did an amazing job! Much of our communication was by email, and we appreciated Branden's quick replies and quick edits to our invoice when we requested any changes. We met the week of to go over everything, and Chef Dennis even stopped by to review the different options he could do for our requested Cuban-style chicken dish! We did a "pre-set" the day before, where we went out to the venue and got to see some of the decor and set-up, and were thrilled with how everything looked. On the actual wedding day, everything went super smoothly---the drinks were delicious, the food was hot and yummy and there was even a personalized chalkboard menu display! Branden designed an entire "dessert lounge" display that was straight out of my Pinterest page---we loved it! The tables looked so classy and we got multiple comments on how good the food was--thank you Chef Dennis!! We feel so lucky to have found Celebrations and cannot recommend them more highly!
