The staff at Glendoveers is fantastic! Kelli was wonderful to work with. Jonathan brought our dreams for the room to life! It looked magical and so amazing just what my daughter was hoping for. Food was beyond our expectations so many delicious appetizers and the buffet was plentiful and so delicious. Had many great comments on the venue, food and staff from our friends and relatives. Thank you Glendoveers for doing such a fantastic job with our daughter and new son inlaw's wedding! Will recommend you to everyone!

My wedding was on October 9th and it couldn't have gone better. The food was AMAZING! And the service was extraordinary. No fuss, no stress, they decorated better then my vision. Truly amazing. I recommend them a million times over. As a covid bride I was already stressed out but they took it all away. Thanks so much for everything everyone!

We hired staffing from creative catering to help out at our wedding reception. In my initial inquiry I requested a quote for staffing to come set up, help with the buffet dinner, do dishes, and help clean up afterward. The woman sent me a quote and we submitted a deposit. The quote was a little vague but I didn't think anything of it. A few weeks later our file was passed on to a new person.
The second person sent me a fairly rude email when she "found out" that we needed to have dishes washed because that wasn't stated in my contract, even though it was absolutely in my initial inquiry. I personally feel that doing dishes is kind of a given anyway when you hire staffing for an event. She said that she did not have the staff available to add a dishwasher to the large number of staff members that they were already sending.
She made a fairly large deal over it just in the end to say that they needed to keep a credit card on file in case the staff had to stay later than they were already being paid for. The staff actually ended up leaving an hour earlier than they were paid for. The redeeming quality of this company is they were able to help us pull of a bar tending service last minute when our initial bar tender ended up getting COVID the week before the event.
The staff members and bar tender themselves were incredibly sweet, very kind, and very helpful, especially the bartender. My only complaint is with the initial miscommunication. It made the process way more stressful than it needed to be.

I highly recommend Creative Caterers. Dana and his team catered an outdoor graduation party for 8 graduates and their friends and family members at Boothe Park. Dana's communication with me prior to and following the event was excellent. Dana was concerned about all details and worked with the flow of guests when serving food. The quality of the food served was very good and the price could not be beat by anyone else around and trust me, we shopped around.
The party went on past the time Creative Caterers was hired for and Dana left us the coffee and remaining food and had his staff come pick up the trays and coffee carafes from me the next day (of course I didn't live far from him). I would definitely use Creative Caterers again in the future!

Perfection! Creative Caterers recently catered our daughter's wedding reception and everything was delicious. The chicken french was one of the best I've had and the carved roast beef was perfectly cooked, seasoned and tender, which is unusual for a roast done for a crowd. All of the other side dishes, from the salad, the vegetables and the alfredo and marinara sauces that went with the pasta were also awesome.
We received quite a few compliments on the food from our guests, including someone saying "that was the best food I've ever had at a wedding!" While I didn't try every dessert that was on the dessert cart (there were about 8 different choices!) the ones I did try were delicious and there weren't a lot left over at the end of the night! The service was spot on and Shannon ensured that our every need was met. I would definitely recommend Creative Caterers for your event.
