A+ experience

I have to be honest, we did not even do a tasting before hiring Mattison's. We live a few hours away and food was not at the top of my priorities for the wedding. Mattison's had good reviews, was approved by our wedding planner and venue, reasonable pricing, allowed us to buy our own alcohol, and most importantly, had a straightforward contract, unlike some other caterers in the area we spoke with. Lisa at Mattison's was so wonderful to work with: pleasant, responsive, and flexible. Our guests turned out to have a laundry list of food allergies and they handled it no problem. So many guests commented on how great the food was. Highly recommend hiring them for your wedding!

Amazing Food & Customer Service!

I had the pleasure of working with Kourtney, she was the first vendor I connected with when planning for my wedding. I found her to be very kind, professional, detail-oriented, and extremely helpful. Her recommendations were excellent, and her honesty was appreciated. The fact that she understood my needs, offered feedback, and always had a get-it-done attitude, was greatly appreciated. Mattison's is extremely lucky to have her.

Not only was Kourtney a joy to work with, but Mattison's food was amazing, too! During our tasting, we were blown away by how good the food was (appetizers, salad, entrees, sides, you name it). We couldn't stop talking about how excited we were to eat such a wonderful meal. At the wedding, it was no different, everything was just as great as we remembered! The wait staff and bartenders were extremely kind and willing to make sure my husband and I, as well as our families and guests, were taken care of. We highly recommend them!

To relive our wonderful memories, my husband and I look forward to visiting Mattison's again soon.

If you want great customer service, amazing food, and a wonderful overall service experience, look no further!

Fantastic quality service and food, from beginning to end!

My husband and I are so glad we had Mattison's cater our wedding! Kourtney Culler was absolutely fantastic to work with. She did a wonderful job curating a creative menu, and then took great care of us (along with our parents) during our tasting. She made adjustments based on feedback extremely well, and even inquired about some off-menu additions. The food was not only delicious and filling at our tasting, but the same was more than true at the wedding. Our guests were more than satisfied by the end of dinner (many too full for dessert and the late night snack!). In addition to the great food, the service was equally commendable. We all felt so well attended. As a busy bride and groom, they did a fantastic job of going above and beyond to make sure any of our dining needs were met. We highly recommend Mattison's catering!
