To say YouPlusMe simply catered our wedding in May 2024 would not adequately explain the amazing work YouPlusMe put in to ensure our wedding was a complete success in all areas (food, drink, and service). My husband and I talked to a handful of caterers and none of them made us feel as heard, understood and looked after as YouPlusMe. My husband and I LOVED working with Lindsay and Chef Mike, even from California, we were able to connect with them easily. Their communication was excellent and their ability to adjust to food allergies and requests was exactly what we needed.

Our event was 185 people with a plated dinner and unique appetizers. We wanted the appetizers to reflect all the food we ate together as a couple and YouPlusMe delivered on all fronts. They were excited to hear about our ideas and worked with us to make the appetizers fun and tasty. ALL of our guests commented on how amazing the appetizers were!!! We had grilled cheese and tomato soup, falafel, spinach pies, chicken and waffles, and so much more. The main entree was short rib and cider glazed pork. Both proteins were tender and tasted absolutely divine!! Our wedding dinner was everything we wanted!

As a recent bride, I can promise you that YouPlusMe provides everything you need!
Here are a few reasons to choose YouPlusMe:

1. I was tired of talking to caterers who felt like they just wanted to make money off of us a couple and did not try to get to know us. YouPlusMe never made us feel like we were just another couple to them. At our tasting, they provided us a variety of different cuts of meat so that we could choose the best one for us and our guests. They also have fair pricing and do NOT up charge just because the event is a wedding. They did not charge for water service or cake cutting like many other caterers. Lindsay and Chef Mike are the most trustworthy people I have ever met and they are dedicated to making your day everything you dreamed of and more.

2. As a couple planning from California, we needed vendors that had amazing communication and Lindsay was absolutely amazing! Her communication was clear and honest. She stated her opinions to help the event run smoothly. I valued her experience and guidance. Lindsay was always quick to answer my questions and I always left our conversations feeling confident that everything would be all right with her in charge. A lot of our guests had allergies and she didn’t even blink. She was able to calm my nerves and let me know that they could make our vision happen! For that we will always be grateful to Lindsay. In addition, Chef Mike is an absolute gem! Having a chef so passionate about food is exactly what we wanted! He was able to explain the pros and cons of different meat styles and what would work best with our event size and plating style. He also came up with amazing ideas for appetizers after we told him some of our favorite foods. Lindsay and Chef Mike are dynamic duo.

3. Lastly, the service was absolutely impeccable. We never had a bar line and the food came out so fast! The appetizers were always replaced as needed! I cannot say enough about the service! We provided the alcohol but YouPlusMe provided everything else (Cups, garnishes, juices, sodas ect.) To have a caterer not only provide appetizers, entrees, but to also provide bar service was an amazing find! WE could not have asked for more! We truly found a gem in YouPlusMe!

Do not let other caterers with more of an instagram presence sway you. YouPlusMe is truly the equation you need for your wedding, they include you the bride and groom in the decisions and make YOU the priority and make YOUR vision come to life without you feeling like a money source. Do you want unique appetizers that highlight the couple? Do you want an amazing staff that will ensure the night runs smooth and on time? Do you want excellent and top notch communication so you feel at ease leading up to the big day? And finally do you want amazing food that tastes divine and is able to be adjusted for food allergies? Then look no further than YouPlusMe! I would recommend YouPlusMe for any event and YouPlusMe will forever be the caterer we use for any future event in Michigan!! Thank you a million times to Lindsay and Chef Mike.

You + me was maybe the most talked about vendor at our wedding. Everyone was absolutely in awe of how good the food was. We had a couple Filipino influenced dishes and the Filipino guests gave their stamp of approval! I had several people asking me for their info for their own kids weddings. And the day after, the food was still the talk of the day! Honestly amazing.

Lindsey and Mike are more than great, they are the literal best human beings and very good at their job. The food was perfect, we had the charcuterie board for cocktail hour along with two walking horderves. For the reception we did the buffet with prime rib and salmon. The staff was the best, so kind and accommodating. Lindsey was communicative throughout the whole experience and Mike was willing to work with us and my now husbands crazy questions and requests. They are also affordable, look brides out there, get with Lindsey and Mike not only will you not be disappointed but we tried a bunch of caterers and these other caterers food was subpar next to Mike's. Do yourself a favor and support small business owners that don't charge you for things like their equipment "waiter trays, silver ice buckets, tray jacks" and a random "operating fee" to match. Mike and Lindsey are honest, down to earth, badasses that you should hire. Ps I still get calls from family members that said they would never have prime rib "medium rare" and swear now its the only way to have it.
