Very satisfied!

Rob and his team did a great job! This was a destination wedding for my daughter, so we went with his team for catering, bartending, photographer, cake and DJ. It was a pleasure working with Rob. The “package deal” with one point of contact, one contract, one bill simplified everything. We wanted real flowers so we did have another vendor for that. Because of the weather, we had to move things inside at the last minute. Rob and his team handled all well and professionally.
I don’t have photos, but the food was presented well! The appetizers and all of the food was delicious. Some guests thought the appetizers were the dinner and were surprised to see such a nice spread. We got many compliments in the food! Dinner was not the typical wedding dinner. Great menu selection and reasonable prices compared to other local vendors.

Wedding catering

With only two month to plan, Lasting Memories by Kate was able to provide our wedding reception banquet and cake without a problem. They have so many yummy options for the buffets, it was easy to pick our favorites. We went with cupcakes and cake for our dessert options. The frosting was light and fluffy and the cakes were wonderful with personalized fillings and cakes. The staff was friendly and efficient, keeping all dishes full and hot. Highly recommend.
