We worked mainly with Brian Ingalls and, other than a few times when he didn't respond very quickly, he was great! The food was excellent and like the cake, I've been told by a number of guests that it was some of the best reception food they've ever had! They also supplied our table linens and have many different color options, as well as many colors of napkins to choose from. We decided to go with the rolled china option, which means they place the plates, napkins, and silverware at the buffet. However, we wanted the pink napkins on the tables with brown linens to add to the overall display of the room, so they allowed us to fold the napkins ourselves and they placed for free. They also supplied champagne glasses for the wedding party and table number stands at no additional charge. My mom said Brian was wonderful during set-up and very nice. He was also wonderful throughout the evening of the reception, asking Craig and me many times if there was anything we needed. Here is Brancato's website:http://www.brancatoscatering.com/index.html.

I'm not sure what their part in the children's mix up was but they told us they weren't aware they needed children's meals. The food was excellent. Everyone complimented us on it.

Delish Catering -
prideeinpynk -B-
I wasn't necessarily unhappy with Delish, but maybe a little disappointed. They gave us a great price on some AMAZING food, but the presentation left a lot to be desired. The plates they provided were very small (app plates) so it was hard to get anything on them without having to carry two or three; they made salsa at my request because it's my favorite food and I didn't get any because I couldn't hold any more plates! Also, when the WP was released to the buffet, they hadn't put out serving utensils on everything, and the chicken skewers were missing (although everything came out quickly once we mentioned it). I also felt like there wasn't much flair to the table, and the mac and cheese bar, which I felt should have been a focal point, was shoved off to the side. Also, their serving staff did cut and serve my cake without any extra fee, but they didn't even serve the bottom tier; they didn't know/ask about whether or not each tier was a different flavor. That being said, when I mentioned how I wanted some of the top tier and didn't see any of it around, a very sweet server ran back there and found another piece of it for me. All that being said, the food was great and everyone loved it! I would definitely recommend them, but make sure you talk to them about exactly what you want.

The initial communication was a little rocky, but it was quickly corrected and
smooth sailing from that point on. The tasting went well, and the food was so
well prepared - we got many compliments. We were also able to get more for our
money than with the other catering companies we looked into, and ended up doing
a buffet with steak, chicken, salad, green beans, rolls, and garlic mashed
potatoes. We had the wow coffee bar and the soft pretzel bar, and had passed
apps and the cheese and fruit display as well. They made sure to save us
appetizers, made us a plate, and got us drinks and anything else we needed
throughout the night. Cake cutting was quick and they passed that as well as
champagne, and we were able to keep left over food and such. They worked so
smoothly with the Berg and the DJ to coordinate everything. Both Mary Berg and
Jesse Stuckwisch were so helpful and great to work with.

Hy-Vee

The food was good and the servers were very helpful and did a great job of keeping everything filled on the buffet line as well as bussing the tables. They also cut the cake and plated it out on a separate table so it was easier for our guests to get too. The only reason they got a B+ was that there were suppose to be three vegetarian meals for my family and they didn’t have them. They did have someone from a Hy-Vee nearby bring down some vegetarian food but it wasn’t the same entrée we ordered.

Pizza Shoppe
Whitneykaye87 Review~A
The people at Pizza Shoppe were so nice and easy to work with. They gave us a great discount on the pizzas, and they promptly brought them to the catering kitchen to get ready to go out at the reception. We also love their pizza and got so many compliments all night from people. Definitely worth going to, even if you just want a pizza out with your man! :)

Reliable Choice Catering

I am officially in love with them! The food is fantastic. We received compliments all night long about the huge selection and great tasting food. They are VERY AFFORDABLE. Amy and Gregg are two of the kindest people you will ever meet. They catered to our every need, provided cake cutting services, and took charge of the day-of-coordination. Their presentation was beautiful and matched our decor exactly (we had an Asian-fusion theme). I would HIGHLY recommend.

FI and I were going to go with this caterer because they were the preferred caterer at our venue. They were professional, yet friendly. I e-mailed them one day when I first started trying to get details together at the beginning of our engagement. I heard back from Julie same day. Every other time I e-mailed them or called, I ALWAYS got a response back either same day or next day, first thing in the morning. They were priced more than reasonably. Our tasting was free and included everything that we were interested in trying. All of it was absolutely delicious. But nothing measured up as well as the CAKES they do! OMG, they have the absolutely most delicious cake! It is moist, the frosting was just sweet enough, not sickly sweet and dry. They charge $2.50 a slice for their cakes, which was a better deal than most places around, and they can decorate it pretty much any way you want.
When FI got sick and we had to change our plans (which included cancelling the caterer), I was certain we were going to lose our $250 deposit by cancelling. I was wrong. If you change your mind or can't use them, their deposit is 100% refundable up to 2 weeks before the wedding. Upon finding out that I had to cancel, there was no guilt trip into sticking with the contract, and I had a check in the mail not even 2 days later with my refunded deposit, with a handwritten note wishing us the best. I was just so incredibly happy with everything about this caterer that I wanted to let everyone know they're awesome. They cater much further north than just Raymore as well, our wedding is in Independence and they catered all the way up there.

Again, truly wonderful. They were so very helpful all the months leading up to the wedding. The food and cake were wonderful! The serving staff at the reception were so wonderful and helpful and made sure everyone had everything they needed at all times. My cake was exactly what I wanted and it was delicious!!

We got SO many compliments on the food, and more than one person (including other vendors) said it was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding. Tony was a DREAM to work with, and his staff was amazing. We couldn't have done any better for unique, reasonably priced food. He also took care of all the linens, table settings, etc
