I recommend Waterfront Catering!

I would highly recommend Waterfront Catering. We used them for our wedding (205 people) and they were excellent. Anna is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. The food was hot and delicious. The service was great. Nothing but great things to say!

Just amazing

Anna with Best Western Premier was PHENOMENAL. From our tasting to all my silly questions to the actual day- nothing short of amazing. Our chicken, pork, and vegetarian gnocchi was all to die for. Tasted just as great as it did at our tasting! We had no complaints, just praise from all our guests about how perfect it all was, which we all know is important for a wedding!! And this was during a busy time of year where the venue itself hosts weddings, as well as off site, which ours was. And again, nothing but perfect. If you’re looking for a caterer for your wedding in the Oshkosh area, you need to pick here!

HIGHLY recommend this venue!

The Best Western Premier Waterfront Hotel and Conference Center is the perfect place to have a wedding. We had a beautiful outdoor ceremony overlooking the Fox River with an easy transition into our event space for our reception. Our friends and family thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful views, delicious food and great services that the staff at the Best Western provided. We received wonderful feedback from our guests and we couldn't be happier. Anna, the Wedding & Events Manager was amazing to work with! She was kind, professional, attentive, on point answering back to emails, calls, changes and concerns. Anna was so helpful through the entire process, it was a pleasure working with her. We would absolutely recommend this venue without hesitation!
