    Great Reception

    We finally were able to celebrate our daughter and son-in-law’s Covid wedding with a post-Covid reception. It was a great opportunity for our extended family and friends to celebrate in person.
    We couldn’t have been more pleased. The reception was in a county park and the Picnic Style menu with on-site grilling and the chicken and pork chops were delicious and juicy; the vegetables freshly hand prepared; the corn bread a perfect accompaniment. Everything was great and we received many positive comments on the food…in fact I think the meat was the best I have had. We also had vegetarian guests and they appreciated the special entrees prepared for them.
    The detail for pre and post event...

    Thank you so much for your kind words Joe!
    We are so thankful we were able to share the beautiful day with your family, friends and the couple! We wish you all the best!

    August 22, 2020 Wedding

    With changing venues 3 weeks prior due to COVID and a lot of guest count changes, Kim and her staff were with us every step of the way. We choose the Catering Company because of the great words from others that have choose them for events, we are so glad we did! Kim and her staff helped me during a very stressful time and I am so thankful for that. We had a goof with the table lines the day before the wedding but Kim and her team came out to our venue and fixed it right away!! Thank you for helping make our 2020 wedding amazing! Our guest LOVED all the food and was able to still have our buffet line with all the safety measures there! Thank you again!!

    Great food and even better service

    Working with Tom at The Catering Co. was awesome and so easy! Not only was the food amazing (we received so many compliments on the food during/after the wedding) but Tom was so fun, laid back, and extremely helpful. He was be willing to squeeze a quick meeting in here or there and was very responsive with any questions or concerns I might have had. Looking back, I'm so happy and grateful that I was able to work with Tom and The Catering Co. on our big day!

    The Catering Co.'s reply:

    So many congratulations to you and Kevin! Your wedding was so beautiful, and you were stunning. Thank you for letting me and The Catering Company be a part of your special day. -Tom

    Would definitely book again!

    TCCo was so amazing to work with! Tom was our contact and he answered questions we hadn’t thought of yet; he accommodated every change we made to help stick within budget and was so friendly to work with. In all of the crazy that goes with a wedding, I never had to worry about catering. We got RAVE reviews as well from our guests. Everyone particularly enjoyed the appetizers being passed as opposed to stations. I loved the detail as well—and was excited to offer since it wasn’t an added expense (unlike everywhere else we priced out). I hope to never plan a wedding again, but if I had to do it all over, I’d book The Catering Company in a heartbeat.

    The Catering Co.'s reply:

    Awe, shucks. You've got us blushing! Thank you so much for your kind words, and allowing The Catering Company to be a part of your special day. You and Chris were a pleasure to work with. We wish you many happy and blessed years together.
    ~Tom

    The Best Caterer in the Tri-Cities

    The Catering Company was such a great choice for our wedding. Linda made sure that our cocktail hour and dinner went flawlessly. She even went out of her way to insure that the buffet decorations and linens flowed with the rest of the wedding decor. Linda even made plates for my husband and me to take to the hotel with us to make sure we got something to eat. Her staff was so courteous, prompt, and just all around fantastic! I highly recommend and would go so far to say that if you have a wedding in the Tri-Cities area and don't have them as the caterer, you're making a mistake.

    The Catering Company did an absolutely amazing job ensuring everything went as planned and ran smoothly on our wedding day. The staff was personably, professional and made sure that each guest was taken care of. They were extremely helpful in planning our wedding day menu and timeline for the day of. All of our guests have said nothing but good things about the food that was served as well as the bar service during our reception. We could not be happier with the services we received from The Catering Company during our wedding!

    Kim and Co. were absolutely amazing in the prep, coordination and the carryout of my daughters wedding this past October. Wonderful personalities, paid attention to detail, food was amazing, staff was superb, attentive to the entire process with fantastic suggestions. Kim and Co became part of our family, we laughed, shared frustrations and many joys, the event was a success due to their listening ears and planning.
    Kim is very professional, very honest with a high set of morals and standards, very creative, and an overall pleasure to work with. A standout in her field as well as in life.
    We would definitely recommend Kim and her staff to anyone who would ask and would not hesitate to...

    I am incredibly pleased with the service I received through The Catering Company. Sarah Tupper, the new catering manager, was personable and professional. She encouraged me to meet with her in person so she could get a solid idea of what I wanted. She has a strong policy on making the bride feel as relaxed as possible during this process-- and I definitely felt relaxed! When we met for our consolation I felt like I was meeting with an old friend. When I tried the food at our tasting, I was sold. We had picky, experienced wedding guests tell us that this is the BEST wedding food they've ever had. The service was also great: Quick and pleasant. My...

    The Catering Co. did a great job with the food for our wedding at the Bissell Tree House! Our guests loved the food and everything arrived on time. We had the opportunity to choose specialty linens that really made our event stand out. Thanks to Cassidy and everyone involved for putting together a great experience!

    They had so many delicious options! After my husband and I had picked out some options that we might like, they fed us a meal in order to sample everything! After tasting the food we decided to go with them for our wedding, and I'm so glad we did! Our guests loved the food and drinks they supplied, and the Catering Co. made everything extremely easy- and for a fair price too. Highly recommend!

    The quality and portions of food were a 2 out of 5.. mashed potatoes were on the dry side chicken portions were so so, chicken mushroom gravy was bland and could have used more gravy on chicken and potatoes, when they served the cake the edge of the cake was dried out due to them cutting the cake to early and serving it later on.. Service was good and quick, but..

    I loved working with the catering company their staff was the best and they were so easy to work with. The food on the day of was not the best. We had 4 different selections and didn't hear anyone say they were that amazing. My dish came out cold (speeches did go over about 25 mins) and my husbands pork was so dry he was trying to saw it apart to eat it. We tasted other catering companies and the catering co was the best but again its catering food and ehh was the best to sum it up. Would I use them again, yes but don't think you are getting the most amazing meal of your life.

    Overall this caterer was great. They provided food and bar for our reception. The food was excellent and compared to other caterers in the area very reasonable. We went back and forth MANY times after the original contract was signed on how many guest, what type of food and drinks, etc and every time they updated the estimates and answered all questions quickly. My ONE complaint from the day of the wedding was that it took quite a bit of time from the time I got my salad until I got my dinner - this time may have been reasonable under normal circumstances but we were running behind and I had hoped they might have made up some time for us.

    We chose The Catering Co. because they were one of the 3 vendors that the venue required us to use for the catering portion of the wedding. We do not live in the area, so much of our planning was done online by email. We went with them because they were quick to reply, helpful & they offered gluten free entree's which would cater to some of our guests dietary constraints.

    Throughout the planning process we found, Terry, our contact to be extremely helpful & accommodating. He would take no time at all to respond to our emails & special requests. Each time he made me feel like my wedding was also important to them & they...

    I will start off by saying that they could not have a more attentive staff. They were refilling drinks before I even realized I was almost empty. The only thing I was upset about was the food. All you lovely brides know how hard it is to get in breakfast and such prior to wedding day and I was still left hungry at the end of the night. Are taste testing was awesome, but when it came to the big day half the peoples food was cold and the sauteed carrots were pretty much raw. I just think whatever you serve at a taste testing should be of the same quality the big day. Terry was more the willing to take care of this issue, but it was after the fact. Maybe they just had a bad day.....
