    Simply Amazing

    The best reception food we’ve ever tasted, and that’s straight from our guests mouths! Iz catering knocked it out of the park for my wedding. My husband and I are still ranting about all the goodies we had. Kay Reed is phenomenal and knows what she’s doing. I highly recommend her any day! Wish we could use her business all the time!

    Best food for an Alabama wedding you will get!

    Iz was such a refreshing catering service to have in Alabama! Kay has creative, gorgeous ideas for dishes. She does NOT do boring food. We loved that she doesn't go by a set/standard/cookie cutter menu. She loved incorporating food ideas with what we love in food. Nothing was too much to ask of them- any idea we ran by, she was open to. They were very considerate and creative to serving gluten-free alternatives for my husband, who has celiac disease. Our tasting with Iz was smooth and the food was excellent! And we are very particular about our food quality- but she nailed it! Kay and her team made the planning process FUN and creative. I loved giving her...

    Awesome place for a Rehearsal Dinner

    We recently held my son’s rehearsal dinner at Iz the Place. Everything was PERFECTION. I had received several recommendations from friends and had asked for a general estimate to get a feel for the cost. I was very pleased with the estimate and I booked them immediately without ever having even been in the venue. I had seen pictures online and from friends and knew it was the place.
    Melissa was my point of contact, and she was wonderful. She was on top of everything and helped with this nervous Mother of the Groom at every turn with a smile on her face. I met with her a month before the rehearsal dinner and she was very helpful with...

    Awesome caterer!!

    Kay and her staff did an amazing job for our rehearsal dinner. The food and the staff were wonderful. We had so many people comment on how good the food was. This was the first time we had ever used a caterer for an event like this and it couldn’t have gone better! Thanks so much for helping us pull this special event off.

    Delicious Food & Great Service!

    Kay and her team at Iz did an AMAZING catering job at my wedding! Everyone complimented how good the food was and, most importantly, that the servers were so attentive! One guest commented that her glass never even reached half way before it was being refilled. That made me feel so glad I chose Iz. From the first time I spoke with Kay, I could tell she knew exactly what she was doing and knew all the right questions to ask. Kay and Iz Catering are true professionals and will elevate your special event. I will definitely use Iz again for any catering needs.

    wedding reception

    My daughter's wedding reception was postponed due to Covid-19. Kay helped me navigate this whole unknown territory. She gave me all the guidelines that had to be followed. When the reception did take place, her team was fabulous. Kind, gracious, and attentive to detail is how I would describe this business. Oh, and did I mention that every food item was delicious!!!

    Best catering company

    We had such a great experience with everyone at IZ! We ended up doing a tasting with 3 different catering companies and it was the easiest decision to go with IZ for my October wedding with 200 guests. They were all similarly priced but the staff and food at IZ were incredible! Kay and Allison are both so sweet and were extremely responsive to all of my emails and calls. Their attention to every detail was unparalleled. They kept thanking me for using them but honestly, I am so grateful that they did the catering for my wedding. They are genuinely some of the nicest people you will ever meet.
    And the food.... EVERYTHING was incredible! I am...

    A Wonderful Evening at Everything Iz

    Kay and her staff went out of their way to help us plan our wedding reception. Her food was excellent(as it always is), the venue was perfect and her employees working that evening were very attentive to the needs of the 135 guests. Everyone had a great time.

    Iz wuz excellent.

    From the very first meeting with the staff at IZ, I knew we had found the caterer we were looking for. 1. The quality, range, and creativity of the food is outstanding. 2. Iz is flexible: They'll tweak the recipes they offer; they take requests and will make what you want. They will customize your menu any way you want it. 3. They look out for you. Food, drinks, bartenders, glassware, tables, linens, plates, servers, setting up, breaking down. They do it all. They take care of everything.

    My daughter's wedding reception for 200 went seamlessly. We planned for 250, and the 200 ate almost everything. I got compliments galore on the job Iz did. I couldn't be happier.

    As a former resident of Manhattan and Los Angeles who has travel Asia extensively, I can honestly say IZ Catering served some of the best Japanese cuisine I have ever had. Who knew you had to go to Eufaula, Alabama to get it! I can absolutely say that Kay and her entire team consistently and seamlessly delivered a plethora of creative and scrumptious delicacies. The Asian boxes were just the beginning of the wonderful and diverse menu prepared for our family wedding. As a well-traveled foodie, I was amazed at Kay’s ability to expertly prepare such a wide range of options; no corner of the globe is off limits. The service was impeccable. Your guests will be raving long...

    The entire team at Cafe Iz exceeded every expectation. I honestly don't know which was better: the food or the service. And I really enjoyed that they invited us to a pre-wedding tasting a few weeks before the big day. I couldn't believe how good the food tasted and how beautiful it looked at the tasting. And I really didn't believe that the food would be as good when they had to feed a few hundred people at one time instead of just a few people at the tasting - but I was wrong. It was every bit as delicious. 10/10 across the board. 5 Stars. A+. Can't recommend them any more highly than I do.

    IZ Catherine is seriously amazing. Everyone was talking about how great my food was, especially the Chinese takeout boxes. So many of my friends and wedding guests asked for their information so that they could cater their future weddings/events. They are professional, fun and get everything done. Most importantly, the food tastes amazing! HIGHLY recommend!

    Iz Catering is simply the best! My daughter wanted the food at her wedding to be a combination of their favorite foods and Kay Reed and her team did a wonderful job of making unusual combinations of food not only make sense, but actually be one of the most talked about parts of the wedding! What also makes this so special was that she brought a team 3 hours outside of Birmingham and cooked the delicious and “soft like butter” beef tenderloin on the way to the reception!! Kay created stations for all the different food options and my cousin, who lives in California, said the Asian station was better than any Asian restaurant in L.A.!! An out-of-town wedding...

    I can't say enough great things about IZ Catering! The food was spectacular - all of our guests still talk about how delicious the food was! Their service was great - very efficient, never saw a line at the bar area, kept everything cleaned up. And they had awesome suggestions on what to serve. Since we had a pretty vague idea going into our intial meeting on what we would like to see, they were quick to offer up plenty of ideas!

    I met with several caterers before talking with Carrie at Iz. After meeting her and tasting their food, I knew who I wanted to cater our rehearsal dinner at Aldridge Gardens. The food was outstanding and the service was even better. Everyone associated with IZ was very easy to work with even with last minute changes. Can't say enough good things about them.

    Carrie and her team at Iz were so helpful and easy to work with. It was a little more expensive than other caterers, but the food was delicious. They set up a place for my husband and me to eat a little of the food before the reception, away from the masses, and they even packed my husband and me a to-go box for us to eat once we left our reception. The were willing to meet with us to go over the menu, and were always open to changes suggested on our end. Overall, very kind people, and very easy to work with, although you may be paying a little more overall for the food.

    I loved working with this caterer. They were very accommodating, helped me plan every detail, allowed me to provide my own liquor, and customized a menu that was appealing to us of Southern and New Orleans faves. People raved about the food! Thank you Kay and Carrie! It could not have been any better!
