    Loken/Smith wedding- 10/08/2023

    I don't even know where to begin. For starters, the new company name is Hurley Catering. Carlyn was such a gem. We honestly didn't know if she was even real because of how sweet and accommodating she was. We went for a tasting and absolutely fell in love with the food and her staff. She was the ONLY tasting we had or needed before deciding to go with her. She really, really worked within our budget. She was very honest about what we could do through other avenues to save money where we could. She adjusted so many invoices before adding/taking away of things was finalized. There aren't enough good things to say about her. The food was PHENOMENAL!! I had so many guests coming up to during and after the wedding to tell us the food was some of, if not, the best wedding food they've ever had. We had the flank steak and panko crusted chicken with a parmesan sauce. If you need a caterer for your wedding, you won't regret picking them!

    Delicious!!

    LKN Wedding & Events catering is absolutely fantastic, we not only hired them for our plated dinner at our reception but also for our rehearsal dinner. Their food is so delicious, flavorful and filling that they are worth every bit that they cost! The flexibility and options that they offer is amazing. We were able to offer coffee and cookies to be served from them, when we served our cake, which is something I am still getting lots of compliments about. The variety of drinks helped greatly because I have diabetics in my family so to have the option of unsweet tea at no additional helped keep my mind at ease. The selection that they offer is wonderful as we were able to offer a vegetarian meal for multiple family/friends who were in attendance. We have received and still continue to receive so many compliments about the food that was served, as to how delicious and filling it was and that no one left hungry.
    We chose the seated/plated meal option, which yes is the more expensive option, yet well worth it, but they of course have other options available to chose from which is just as fabulous. Please do not overlook this company for any type of occasion, they will make sure all goes absolutely perfect for you and any occasion that you hire them for!

    Amazing local company

    We used LKN Catering because it was the preferred catering company at our venue. Their food is so delicious. The owner Carlyn is such a sweet person to work with. The tasting sold us. She had an amazing flow to the order which she brought food out to us (my husband, sister and I went to taste). She was so kind to my nephews who also came to the tasting offering them cookies and drinks. Guests were raving over how delicious the food was we decided on a tenderloin carving station, pesto chicken, mashed potatoes, and a pasta station (comes with alfredo and marinara).

    Beautiful and delicious

    All of the staff we worked with were amazingly friendly and helpful. They did everything to make our day as beautiful as we imagined. Everyone we met with LKN was truly invested in making sure we had the best day ever. While we greeted our guests and took pictures they made sure we actually got HOT food and appetizers brought to us so that we wouldn't miss out on the deliciousness while we were being good hosts.

    Awesome caterer

    I actually hired LKN (Patti Dayton) to cater my "I Do" BBQ for my rehersal dinner before my wedding because my venue did the catering for the wedding. Patti was amazing to work with. She responded immediately to my calls, texts, e-mails etc.
    She even invited my fiance and I to a "tasting" - which was delicious. They cater everything from BBQ through filet mignon and it was all cooked to perfection. The food was fresh and hot when served.
    The BBQ she did for us was wonderful and our guests truly enjoyed it. She had a beautiful presentation and supplied EVERYTHING - it really took the anxiety out of the evening for us.
    Patti went above and beyond in so many ways! We wanted cannolis for our wedding and I wasn't sure where to go for them. Patti wanted me to have everything we wanted for our wedding so she made the filling from scratch and came to our venue to make the cannolis fresh! We were blown away by how she went above and beyond.
    Since we had many out of town guests staying at a local hotel, Patti also catered a breakfast for everyone the morning after the wedding and that too was fabulous!
    Her presentation and attention to detail made our lives so much easier. She worked with us on the menus and budget until we really got what we wanted and her prices were very reasonable. I will definitely use LKN and Patti again and feel very confident referring her to friends and family.

    Above and beyond service!

    LKN was such a pleasure to work with! We went in for a taste test and knew we wanted to work with them. Ms. Patti is so sweet and they are so accommodating!
    On wedding day they made their set up look so amazing! We did the pasta bar, and everything was so delicious! Everyone was very pleased with the food and the service. They went above and beyond to make all of us happy.
    Bonus: The power was out at our venue and we weren’t sure when it would turn back on. One of the LKN staff members (Will find out his name) went out of his way to go and get a generator which literally saved our whole day. Without it we wouldn’t have had music or lights. We will forever be grateful to them!

    Serving a large wedding party while dealing with the threat of the corona virus was a challenge successfully met by the staff of LKN Weddings. Great food and friendly prompt service. Southern hospitality at its best.

    Excellent in every category!

    We were guests at the wedding, so had no prior knowledge of these caterers. We could not have been more impressed. Their professionalism, presentation, friendliness, and most importantly, the food, was excellent. All in all, everything was PERFECT! I would hire them without another thought, knowing they are fully capable of handling any situation!

    Excellent food and service. Above and beyond the call of duty.

    Attended a wedding right before the Covid-19 gathering limits were put into place. LKN went above and beyond to assure that no one was put at risk through the serving of the food. The food was very good too!!

    Delicious, professional servers, absolutely worth it!

    LKN Catering is amazing. We had our tasting with them in January 2021for our May 15th, 2021 wedding, and it was delicious! We knew right away we wanted to move forward with them. At the tasting they brought out a few items from each part of their menu to give you an idea and nothing disappointed. The servers were extremely professional as well. The hostess answered any and all questions we had about the day of (when is the food made? how's it transported? what's the most popular items? Can we sub a side for a 2nd entree?) and provided a paper we could use to jot down the items we liked for reference.
    When the wedding came, everything was still as delicious as the day of the tasting (we did buffet style). Literally multiple guests came up to us during and after the wedding complimenting the food. Fortunately my husband and I had our planner and the venue coordinator keeping us fed the entire time too so I can vouch that it was just so good. Get the caprese skewers and the spinach & artichoke phyllo cups as apps! My personal favorites.

    Sally (Bride’s Mother)

    Our guests raved about the food and professional service. Carlyn and Josh made the planning process a joy. They were so accommodating and offered valuable suggestions. The stellar service allowed us to relax and celebrate our girl’s big day. I would highly recommend them because Josh and Carlyn will make sure your event is flawless.

    Professional and Delicious!

    This company goes above and beyond to help you make the perfect menu for your special day! We were invite to multiple tastings and they came with their own decor, that even matched mine, that made the food set up look flawless. Don't even get me started on how amazing the food and desserts are- my guests are still talking about our meal and how wonderful it was! This is a top notch vender and they made the whole process down to the final product a really amazing experience!

    The perfect fit!

    I cannot begin to describe how amazing this food was! We went through several tastings with LKN, Carlyn and her husband are so accommodating, genuine, and make sure any questions are answered. You have so a great variety of choices to pick from, you honestly cannot make the wrong decision. Our only problem was trying to narrow down our selections because everything we tried was absolutely amazing! Kim was on site the day of the wedding, she was so helpful and went out of her way accommodate my husband and I, as well as our wedding party. We were served hors d'oeuvres set aside specifically for the wedding party while taking photos after the ceremony and were checked on throughout the night. It’s been a little under two weeks and our guests are still complimenting the food and how great the staff was. We couldn’t have asked for a better caterer and team to work with! We highly recommend LKN for any catered event you may need, you won’t regret it!

    Guests Could Not Get Over How Amazing The Food Was

    My husband and I had our wedding at The Arbors Events in Cleveland, NC. Although The Arbors only provides a list of 3 caterers to choose from, I can't imaging have selected another caterer other than LKN Weddings and Events. We were blown away by the quality of the food at the initial tasting. We also loved how it was presented. Employee Patti Dayton was amazing to work with, and even invited us to a special tasting event a couple months before our wedding. Patti was super responsive to all emails and helped customize our meal and the decor. She was also very sweet when I told her I was freaking out because it was supposed to rain our wedding day! After dinner was served, and even days after the wedding, guests came up to us and told us how amazing the food was. I think we received more compliments about the food than anything else at the wedding. Having good food was important to us, as that is what most guests are looking for. We will definitely be using LKN again for future events!

    Mother of the bride

    Patti Dayton with LKN Wedding & Events Catering prepared a post-wedding brunch that far surpassed our expectations. She was very flexible with our requested menu and even altered a recipe to my daughter's request. She and her staff arrived at our out of the way location promptly and had everything set up ahead of schedule. The food was delicious, staff beyond helpful, and the presentation was extraordinary! I will let the pictures speak for themselves. I cannot thank you all enough for providing a wonderful send off brunch for our guests!!! You have been such a pleasure to work with, from the initial planning and all along the way. Lori B.

    Delicious food and awesome staff

    I got so many comments from guests on how tasty the food from LKN was! Initially, I was impressed by the very professional food tasting where I got to try everything from appetizers to dessert. Patti responded to my emails promptly, and on the day of my wedding she was there to help set everything up. The staff went above and beyond to not only decorate the catering tables, but to help make my cake and photobooth table look nice as well! During the cocktail hour, I had expressed my concern about eating the appetizers, so the staff made sure to bring food and water out while we were taking pictures. Loved working with them!
