Bud and Alley’s Catering Reviews

Our reception at Bud & Alley's was beyond perfect. Kathryn was amazing to work with and even thought to make my husband and I a plate of the cocktail hour passed apps before we walked in. The food was INCREDIBLE and I had countless guests comment on how it was the best wedding food they've ever had. We couldn't have been more pleased with how it all turned out!

We had our open air reception at Bud & Alley's and it was absolutely amazing. The food was outstanding and so many people came up to me telling me how good it was. Highly recommend.

We had our wedding reception at Bud and Alleys Pizza bar and it was perfect! Kathryn went above and beyond to make sure my needs and wants were met! It was a perfect afternoon celebrating with friends and family! Highly recommended!

Bud and Alley's hosted our rehearsal dinner and catered our reception at the Lyceum Lawn and everything was amazing! Rachel and Kathryn were a dream to work with- so friendly, organized and responsive! The food was of course delicious, we received so many compliments from guests. If you are planning an event in or around Seaside, Bud and Alley's is the way to go!

Absolutely use this vendor. Great food. Great Service. Great venue. Rachel is outstanding and so very nice.

We just got married in May 2016 here and working at the venue with Rachel and Kathryn - (Bud and Alley's event planners) was outstanding. The word "NO" was basically not in their vocabulary, and they were incredibly responsive, professional, and graceful to work with. Not to mention they went above and beyond in the "helping decorate" category the day of the wedding. Highly recommend a wedding here, but recommend it even more if you can work with them.

Bud and Alley's was the absolute best and Kathryn was a dream to work with for my daughter's wedding reception! As a regular patron of Bud and Alley's I was very familiar with the menus at both their restaurant and the Pizza Bar and when we made special requests to switch an ingredient or include an item outside of the catering menu they were very accommodating. The chef even allowed me to bring a basket of fresh Chilton County, Alabama peaches for him to add to our salad! I could not have asked for a better experience and I am looking forward to working with them again soon for my son's rehearsal dinner...can't wait!

I don't know if I can put into words how much I enjoyed working with the team from Bud & Alleys. The food was great and the staff was fantastic. They are organized, responsive, collaborative, patient, and professional. I would say they went above and beyond what we expected from a caterer.

Rachel and Kathryn met with us many times, listened to all our ideas and gave us the exact reception that our Bride wanted. It was fun, intimate and beautiful! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was electric! The perfect spot for the beach lover/pizza lover in all of us!! And who doesn't love (really good) pizza and the ocean breeze?

Absolutely love Kathryn at Bud & Alleys! She helped me throughout the whole wedding process and it couldn't have been more perfect! The food was great and everyone loved it. I couldn't have asked for a better restaurant to cater my wedding reception!

Kathryn is great to work with! The food is fantastic. The atmosphere was perfect. Lots of options, all delicious. She helped build a custom menu based on our likes and preferences. The process was very smooth. Book early as this venue will be gone if you don't take advantage of it. My wife and I felt like a king and queen during the rehearsal dinner. The staff was impeccable. They were on top of everything. Our experience was wonderful and the guests experience was great as well. If I could do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing. Much thanks to Bud & Alley's for helping us start our wedding festivities with a bang!!!! Great job all around. Highly recommended!

Bud & Alleys was the location that I used for a large group dinner. Rachel Forman was the Event Coordinator. I can't say enough great things about Rachel and Bud & Alleys. I had to make so many changes leading up to the dinner and Rachel was always accommodating. The food was incredible and the outdoor seating was just perfect. I would highly recommend using this place for any events that you might have. I was completely satisfied with the entire experience.

Bud & Alley's was a great place to hold our reception for the yearly fall conference for our organization. Very professional and delicious food.

I cannot say enough about my wonderful experience with using Bud & Alley's as my wedding reception venue. Kathryn and Rachel are the event coordinators and are the absolute best to work with. They are extremely attentive, organized, and quick to respond to any question, comment, concern I ever had, and as a bride I had countless questions for them almost every day. On top of all of this, I've never had better food in the world than at Bud & Alley's. At first I was skeptical of what to choose for the menu because wedding food tends to be...well, typical wedding food. But the meal on the night of my wedding (and all of the other many visits to Bud & Alley's just for fun) was nothing less than gourmet and absolutely delicious! If you want a wedding reception that is in a fun and laid back atmosphere, but also capable of making it and decorating it to however you dream, and the added bonus of gourmet food that will give you chills...look no further than Bud & Alley's! Unforgettable experience!

Bud & Alley's was the perfect place for our son's October rehearsal dinner! The location on the beach, the covered gazebo and dining area were wonderful. It was absolutely gorgeous at sunset. Everyone told us that they had so much fun and that the food was delicious...We totally agreed! Rachel and Kathryn, the special event coordinators, were fantastic to work with from the first time we met until the close of the evening!

Bud & Alley's is one of my favorite restaurants in the Seaside area, so I knew it had to play a part in my wedding day!
Not only did they cater the wedding, but also were the location of the rehearsal dinner.

The wedding was destination for us and all the planning was done long distance, but Rachel and Kathryn made sure that everything went smoothly and did a fantastic job of communicating with me about the reception and with my in-laws about the rehearsal.
They worked with us and helped us choose between seated dinner or stations and provided great advice about our different options.

It has been a few weeks since the wedding and our guests are still commenting about how fantastic the food was! But what really set it apart for me, was that Kathryn and Rachel were on sight at the rehearsal and at the reception. They were sure to say hello and make sure that I was happy with how things were going! It made me feel so good that they were there throughout the entire process and didn't leave us on our own the night of the events!

Bud & Alley's was extremely attentive, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone having a wedding in the Santa Rosa Beach area!

From the initial meeting to the reception itself, I couldn't have asked for better service, advice or quality in all aspects. Kathryn and Rachel at Bud and Alley's worked closely with our other vendors to ensure that every detail was properly handled. My daughter's reception was absolutely gorgeous, and all I (MOB) had to do was relax and enjoy. All the service throughout the reception was awesome, especially the bartenders, who were very efficient and made sure there was very little wait time for drinks.

The most surprising thing to me was the quality of the food. I knew B&A's had great food, but I wondered if the quality could be duplicated on a large scale, especially served buffet style. Yes, it could! The food was every bit as delicious and well-prepared as if we had sat down at a table and ordered off the menu. I couldn't get over how good it was and had many, many guests tell me it was by far the best wedding reception food they had ever eaten.

I am so happy we chose B&A's to host our reception. It was absolutely perfect in every way.

Katherine was a joy to work with. Everything we needed she helped to provide. The food was delicious!

This was the perfect place for our wedding reception!! The food was amazing and the atmosphere was perfect for a beautiful beach wedding!

This was a perfect venue for my daughter's beach wedding. My expectations were far exceeded and I couldn't imagine a more perfect location for a beach event.

Excellent venue with the best ambience! I couldn't have imagined a more perfect rehearsal dinner. The food was delightful and the staff was beyond amazing.

Everyone at the event had rave reviews regarding Bud & Alley's including, but not limited to, excellent service, food, and great venue. The compliments were abundant and we will have our next event at Bud & Alleys and would recommend them highly. I would also recommend working with Rachel as she is very knowledgeable, helpful, responsive and a true pleasure to deal with. She made the event a great success and took any worries we might have had on her own shoulders away and excelled!

We used Bud and Alley's Catering service for food for the Bonfire/Rehearsal and EVERY aspect of their service was excellent! Due to some changes in the original plans, they were so helpful in making sure that all changes were made and the food and service that they delivered was above and beyond what we expected.
Rachel Forman was our coordinator and she absolutely stayed in touch and communicated exactly what to expect and the chef delivered everything on time. They were so courteous to set everything up and make sure that it was easy for us. All of the guests raved about the selections and it was wonderful.
Though the cost may seem high when you first review the menu, I can assure you that the quality of service, professionalism and the end product was worth every penny and they delivered far more than the costs involved. This is one area of your event that you can relax and know that they will do their very best for you!

We hosted our wedding reception at Bud & Alleys and had the most wonderful evening of our lives! B&As slogan of " Good food, good people, Good times" holds true! Kathryn in particular was amazing and a complete pro at her job!!

May 2, 2015 was by far the best night of our lives in part to the Bud and Alley's catering and events team! We hosted our reception on Lyceum Lawn with around 160 guests. We really wanted a light and fun menu that guests would enjoy on a hot, summer day. Rachel and Kathryn helped us customize a menu that was perfect and that all our guests loved! They were so helpful and accommodated all of my little last minute details surrounding food and beverage service. After working with them for almost a year, I had full trust in them on the day of my wedding to pull everything off seamlessly. They did a fantastic job, and I would highly recommend any and all bride's to use them for their Santa Rosa Beach catering needs.
