Great full service catering!!

We are so glad that we decided to go with Power Catering & Events to provide the food for our wedding. The food was fantastic, and Ashley knew our venue (Morris Arboretum) like the back of her hand. With her knowledge, she was able to give us so many helpful suggestions (beyond just the food) that ended up being spot-on. Throughout the whole process, Ashley gave us the impression that she had everything under control, and on the day of our wedding, she and her team delivered! We got so many compliments from our guests about the quality of the food, and our only regret is we didn't have more time to enjoy it!

Power Events is amazing!

Ashley and her team exceeded expectations at our son's wedding at Morris Arboretum. From the food to the decor, their attention to detail was outstanding. Ashley was accommodating throughout the planning, offering guidance on everything from food tasting to rentals. Her team served 140 guests on the day with exceptional food and service. Ashley timed everything perfectly despite a brief summer storm, ensuring a smooth, beautiful ceremony and reception. We couldn't recommend Power Events more for a flawless, unforgettable day. Thank you!

The perfect partner for your wedding planning

My husband and I recently had our wedding at Morris Arboretum. From start to finish, Ashley and her team at Power Events took all the stress out of the day and made everything go smoothly, allowing us to truly enjoy our special moment.
The planning process was seamless thanks to her professionalism and attention to detail. Ashley listened carefully to our preferences and provided excellent suggestions, ensuring that every dish was perfect. On the wedding day, her team was incredibly efficient and thought of everything, setting up a beautiful day for our friends and family.
The food was simply outstanding. Every guest raved about the quality of the dishes, and many mentioned it was some of the best wedding meals they’ve ever had. The presentation was elegant, and the flavors were exquisite. Ashley had recommended we serve family style, which was the exact right vibe for our day. Whether it was the appetizers at cocktail hour, main courses, or desserts, everything was perfect.
Moreover, the staff was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure everyone was taken care of. They managed to create a joyful and relaxed atmosphere that contributed to the fun and enjoyment of our guests. Everyone will tell you to make sure you stop to eat on your wedding day. That wasn’t something I needed to do, the catering staff sought out my Husband and me to ensure we were able to taste everything and never had to ask for anything.
We couldn’t have asked for a better catering experience. Ashley truly helped make our wedding day unforgettable. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caterer who will exceed expectations and deliver a top-notch service.
Thank you, Ashley Power, for making our day perfect!
