LOOK NO FURTHER! Hire them now! Bob and his fantastic team will make all your dreams come true. I've dreamed of my wedding since I was a kid and somehow he exceeded my expectations. Not to mention a great price! Highlights: - works with your vision - delicious food (my guests still talk about it ) - seasoned vendor - lots of connections - honest and truly cares I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you Carriage Caterers for everything -

We got married in April, 2021 at the Garten Verein and are so happy that we went with Carriage Caterers! Having a caterer who not only did food, but linens, table decor, flowers, cake, and bar staffing made my planning process so much easier! Bob was great to work with, I pretty much sent him pictures of what I wanted and he delivered. And knowing that he does so many events at our reception venue was a huge plus as well. We got so many compliments on our food, especially the macaroni and cheese! Carriage Caterers was a great vendor at a reasonable price! We are so glad they were part of our special day. -

I cannot say enough good things about Carriage Caterers. This company, owned by Bob Christensen, is top-notch. His team doesn't just do food...they do it ALL! My daughter got married three days ago (4/17/21) at the Ashton Villa in Galveston (170 guests). Bob's team provided the food, floral, wedding cakes, table & event decor, a staff of 12 and 2 bartenders! WOW! Let me start with the food..... the quality was excellent and there was ALOT of it! We served prime rib, parmesan encrusted chicken, baked potato casserole, corn casserole, squash medley, tossed salad and rolls. He has many other items to choose from too! Think down-home cooking and quality. People raved and raved over the food. We had passed appetizers of bacon wrapped shrimp, stuffed mushroom caps and prosciutto wrapped asparagus. If you left our wedding hungry it was your own fault!!! :)
Next let's talk cake....Bob bakes his own cakes and has a wonderful cake artist decorate them. He has 30+ years experience baking cakes! We showed them a photo of what we wanted and they delivered. The cakes were gorgeous and were so yummy! Sooooo moist! My 78-yr-old mother said it was the best cake she had ever tasted!! The cake was three layers...each a different flavor. White, lemon and red velvet. Bob has many different flavors to choose from! He won't disappoint!
OK...now on to floral. We told Bob the color scheme that we wanted and what our floral budget was and he produced! He is so knowledgeable about flowers. His staff floral designer is amazing! We had 9 tall arrangements on the tables and on the other 8 tables had hurricane glass cylinders and candles (ten on each table) and a little greenery. The room was stunning! Bob provided all table linens (different colors to choose from), china, glassware, etc. He decorated the ballroom staircase, fireplace mantle and two other rooms at the villa for us. The outdoor gardens where the ceremony was held had been hit hard by the freeze leaving the vegetation looking sparse. Bob's crew worked their magic outside adding live greenery to the gazebo as well as fern baskets, fabric draping and more floral. It looked AMAZING! He totally transformed the area.
Bob takes great pride in his work. I felt he was always aiming to please us. The man goes above and beyond. I don't have enough time to mention everything but on our way to my daughter's bridal portrait session we realized we had forgotten to get a bouquet made. Panicked, I called Bob and he said "No problem honey, come on by and I'll put one together for you." And he did!! That's the kind of guy he is. And his staff was just as nice. They were all such a pleasure to work with.
There's an old saying that when you go to hire someone there are 3 things you want from them, but you will only get two because one of them always has to give. They are good quality, good price and timeliness. With Bob and Carriage Caterers I got all three. The quality of everything was superb, his prices are very fair and he was punctual, willing to meet with us several times before the big day and talk on the phone whenever I wanted to. Bob said to me several times, "Honey don't worry, I've got this. I don't want you to worry about a thing." Bob, I only wish I had another daughter getting married!! That's how wonderful you made our event.
If you're reading this looking for a caterer look no further. This company has the experience under their belt, is a great value for the money and they aim to please. You won't be disappointed with them! A++++++++ -

Carriage Caterers is a wonderful catering service. I was one of many unfortunate 2020 covid brides. Bob Christensen, the owner, and no relation; was wonderfully accommodating. He was incredibly kind and obliging when I rescheduled my wedding for 2021 and when I had to cancel once again due to covid. In 2020 my father was diagnosed with advanced cancer and I couldn't risk his health with a large wedding in 2020 or 2021. I still married my husband in 2020 and Bob was kind enough to provide bouquets, boutonniere, and a beautiful cake. Bob's service was exceptional and I can't recommend Carriage Caterers enough. -

Bob is Super Man!
He did our flowers, linens, cake and food! He really helped make my wedding beautiful! The centerpieces and table decorations were beautiful and the bouquets and corsages were perfect! AND THE FOOD, mouth watering goodness. I had some special requests for my cake and he delivered, exactly what I pictured. Thank you for taking on my wedding, Bob and making it stress free for me. -

I cannot begin to tell you how amazing our experience was. We found Carriage Caterers at our venue open house and let me tell you, we had tried a lot of caterers before and were disappointed but the minute we tasted Carriage Caterers' food we knew right then and there that this was it!!! Things only got better from there, Bob is great if anyone knows weddings it is him. He will not only listen to you and what you want but he will give you so much advise and help with literally everything all while having fun. All of our guests have commented on how great everything was and have said this was the best wedding food they have had and believe me they have been to a lot of weddings. His staff is amazing and will go above and beyond to make sure your day is a dream come true. Call them NOW!!! Amazing food, amazing cakes, flowers, linens basically everything but the groom!!!Carriage Caterers's reply:

Mor R. Sent on 01/08/2019Loved working with Carriage Caterers!
I had the best experience working with Bob and Carriage Caterers. Bob was our florist, caterer, and cake baker and our wedding was beautiful. People are so surprised when I told them how cost efficient it was--it felt like a steal for such great food and service! Truly loved Bob and his staff and would recommend them to anyone!Carriage Caterers's reply:
We appreciate your kind words a lot! We were very pleased to serve you and make your special event even more special! -

Mackinsey Sent on 11/06/2018A great all-in-one option!
Hiring Bob was one of the best wedding decisions we made. We did not want a DIY wedding, and Bob can do it all! At an affordable price too! He did our food, cake, decor, and flowers. The food was so good that my mother-in-law went for seconds (she never does that!!) and all the guests raved about it. Both of our cakes looked and tasted amazing. We described to Bob what we were thinking for decor/flowers and he nailed it. He is also very flexible and takes into account all of your thoughts and ideas. Take my word for it, you can trust him and he will deliver.Carriage Caterers's reply:
Thanks MacKinsey for your kind words and am glad your day was what you envisioned. Congratulations and best wishes! -
K Sent on 06/14/2018My daughter had her wedding at Garden Verein in Galveston, TX. The budget was limited (she's just graduated from college so her parents wrote the checks) and she and I are both very busy. Not much DIY was possible for us, which made using this beautiful venue a question mark... Until I met with Bob from Carriage Caterers.
Carriage Caterers is almost one-stop shopping, even for venues that require you to provide everything but the tables and chairs. Bob expertly guided us through decisions about linens, tablescapes, flowers for the tables and the wedding party, room set-up, bar set-up (he provided glasses and our bartender), food to serve, and cakes - all services he provides. He also gave suggestions for a DJ (which we happily hired) and a photographer (who we opted not to hire).
My daughter had a vision for how her wedding would look and she was worried that this venue, which was not her first choice, would not deliver. She let me know at her reception that everything was beautiful and she was very happy. Of course, my bride was the person I most wanted to please, but comments from our guests are enthusiastically complimentary. People were very impressed by the choices they had at the dinner buffet and they found the food to be delicious. We really couldn't be happier with the service Bob provided, and the price he charges is an excellent value. We could have spent more for a meal with only 1 entree and 2 sides.
To try some of the dishes offered by Carriage Caterers, you can visit Bob twice a year at the Galveston Bridal Show. He'll have samples of the prime rib (which we served at our event) as well as several side dishes and cakes. You can also see flower arrangements, table settings, and cakes done by carriage caterers. By going to the shows with my bride, she was able to see what was possible. As it happens, one of the arrangements on display fit her vision for her bouquet, as did one of the cakes, so those choices became easy.

Keatyn Sent on 02/25/2018I wholeheartedly recommend Carriage Caterers for any event! My daughter's wedding was last night, and Bob and his staff attended to every detail to perfection. I knew from the first consultation that Bob was my guy...he took a personal interest in our wedding and was so helpful in planning and staying within our budget. He was very responsive to any and all questions I had throughout the process. Bob took care of everything...linens, cakes, all floral details, centerpieces, and delicious food. The finished product was more than I had even hoped for, and Bob was on hand before, during, and after the ceremony and reception to ensure that everything was running smoothly. I love this guy!!
