Austin Catering 

5.0

Austin, TX

    Austin Catering is a full-service boutique catering company offering custom menu design and personalized event planning services. Our passion for food, artistic presentation, and focus on flawless event execution is what sets us apart and is the core of what creates the Austin Catering experience. The breadth of experience and logistical savvy our catering team brings to the table will put you at ease knowing that your only concern will be what shoes to wear!

    While every aspect of our catering experience was wonderful, this review is especially for Gabrielle! From our initial inquiry through our final transaction, Gabrielle answered countless questions from us, always being professional and patient as we changed quantities, dishes, and bar setups. We had a delightful time at our tasting, and the food was all delicious. We got many compliments from our guests about enjoying their meals, and it looked like everything ran very smoothly. We also got our cake and desserts from Austin Catering, and they did an absolutely lovely job with the decoration that we requested. They even packed up cake leftovers for our guests and sent us to our mini moon with extra cake and food for the road. We did a lot of comparing catering services when planning our wedding, but Austin Catering struck that great balance of being within budget, but not sacrificing quality or our wedding vision. We strongly recommend Gabrielle and the Austin Catering team!

    Austin, TX

      El Chile Group Catering is a full-service wedding caterer based in Austin, TX. Their talented chefs offer versatile menus to suit couples’ unique visions. This friendly team strives to provide a five-star service. They will bend over backward to deliver an unforgettable dining experience.

      Working with El Alma, part of the El Chile group, to cater our wedding was a dream at every step - from the tasting and menu planning to the day-of catering. We LOVED working with Mayra and Maddie - they easily accommodated all of our guests' dietary restrictions, helped us plan a great menu within our budget, and were so responsive to us and our wedding planner leading up to our wedding weekend. Plus, their food was fantastic (brisket, chicken, sweet potato relleno) and we are still enjoying the leftover Tres Leches. Our guests have continued to compliment El Alma and we highly recommend them if you are looking for a local Austin caterer.

      La Pera Catering 

      5.0

      • Serves Austin, TX

      Let's create your dream menu! Our culinary & planning team will consult with you to work up fun seasonal and locally inspired menus, cocktail hour pairings, pop up dessert bars & even dream up custom options that scream YOU TWO! We will walk through the in’s and out’s of your special day, coordinate with all vendors involved and review service styles that are the best fit for your venue, layout & overall flow of the event. You can expect colorful, beautifully presented - and most importantly delicious options with a little Latin flare to choose from at every budget level, that everyone in the crowd will enjoy!

      We cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible service provided by La Pera. I would give them 10 stars if I could!! They came in at the last hour after we were impacted by Royal Fig's closure, and immediately got us in for a tasting, answering any and all questions with patience and expertise. La Pera's responsiveness and willingness to accommodate all allergies were outstanding. Everything was clearly marked during passed appetizers so guests know what was included. They went above and beyond to make special gluten-free appetizers just for me, the bride, which was such a thoughtful touch. And let's not forget the food and cocktails—they were nothing short of incredible! Being from the northeast, incredible food was a MUST at our wedding and the La Pera team knocked it out of the park. Not only do they have unique and differentiated menu offering, every bite was so flavorful and wowed us. Our guests are still raving about how delicious everything was. We did a full service dinner with hibiscus chicken & braised short-rib with a side of guajillo mashed potatoes and both entrees were some of the best food we've ever eaten. Their team truly put our minds at ease during a stressful time. Planning full-service catering for 100 people within just 45 days seemed seamless under their expert guidance. The staff was very friendly and made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. We are so grateful and happy that we found La Pera to cater our wedding and can't recommend them enough!!

      A few years ago we opened Hank’s as a neighborhood restaurant, bar and cafe. Located in the Windsor Park neighborhood of Austin, we offer everything from California style comfort food like grain bowls and gourmet burgers to fresh seafood, wood grilled salmon. We make everything in-house, including bread, pastas and pastries. We recently started Hank’s Catering to help make it easier for all those Hank’s out there that love to throw tons of parties to take away the burden of cooking and allow even the hosts enjoy the parties they throw just like their guests do.

      RedBook Events 

      5.0

      Austin, TX
      • Starts at $5,000

      Chef Adriana had carried two things with her since she was a child: a passion for food, and a red notebook. Through mock restaurants in her family home cooking meals for her sisters and friends before prom to culinary school, pastry classes, and working on the line at busy restaurants, her Red Book stayed full of ideas. And when she filled one, another Red Book took its place.

      Hiring RedBook events was one of our best decisions for our wedding. Not only did we receive prompt communication during their office hours (Wednesday to Saturday), but we were able to schedule for a smaller scale than many caterers are willing to do (50 people initial estimate). Follow up was excellent for confirming guest number, service timeline, allergy adjustments, and vendor meal needs. For our reception size (64 guests), we were able to get a reasonable price per person (31 per adult, 8.50 per kid) on a family style set-up. We chose marinaded chicken and stuffed poblano as entrees. All guests were satisfied with these food options and we were able to accommodate multiple allergies (special order for affected items) and flavor preferences. In addition, we were able to plan our linen/plate layout flexibly with Callie at the Premiere Events show room to fully customize the look with sample pieces. Planning for alcoholic beverage service was also satisfactory. Wine types for flavor pairings were recommended. While we did not like the specific brands recommended, my in-laws were able to purchase independently and make brand adjustments ahead of time. It was quite helpful to have an estimate of total needs and recommendations for general matching types of white and red (ie sauvignon blanc and pinot noir) was helpful.

      Lisa with Lily Grace Catering was the answer to our wedding prayers. She seamlessly facilitated our BBQ wedding meal from Rudy's BBQ, provided professional and courteous bartending services, cocktail tables, table linens, beverage service, table settings and more! We could not have been happier with the service Lily Grace provided. Lisa was always very thorough in communication and was flexible when we had to make last minute changes due to rain forcing our event inside our venue. If you're looking for quality meals from familiar (or new to you) restaurants, consider Lily Grace Catering.

      We hired Purple Orchid to cater an entire bachelorette weekend, and she completely exceeded our expectations! From the moment everyone flew into town, she set the tone with a gorgeous dinner spread. Throughout the weekend, every single meal was not only delicious but also thoughtfully and creatively prepared.

      Wild Whisk 

      4.3

      • Starts at $750
      • Serves Austin, TX

      We are a private family boutique business working alongside our 4 children to teach them work ethic and business principles. My husband is an attorney and the “meat master” of the operation and I am a former pro makeup artist who now bosses people around about their appetizers and their aesthetic. We attended so many events where the food just sucked…..we knew we could do better and here we are, killing it in catering!!

      Our wedding was made even more memorable thanks to the exquisite catering provided by Wild Whisk. From the outset, their team demonstrated professionalism and a keen eye for detail, ensuring that every aspect of our wedding meal was nothing short of perfect. One of the highlights of their service was the Chicken Picatta. It was a hit among our guests, who raved about the perfectly cooked chicken, the balance of flavors in the sauce, and how it paired beautifully with the green beans and mash potatoes. The dish was not only delicious but also presented with elegance, adding a touch of class to our wedding dinner. But the culinary delights began even before the main course. Wild Whisk's appetizers were a topic of conversation throughout the evening. Each appetizer was a burst of flavor, beautifully presented, and served with the perfect accompaniment. My personal favorite was the couscous! I ate probably 3 of them in between socializing with our guests. What set Wild Whisk apart was their commitment to quality and flavor. It was evident that they used high-quality, fresh ingredients, and their culinary skills shone through in every dish they served. The service staff was also impeccable, providing attentive and friendly service that made our guests feel well taken care of throughout the evening. Choosing Wild Whisk as our caterer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Their dedication to creating a memorable dining experience for us and our guests was apparent in every detail. We received numerous compliments on the food, and many guests asked for their contact information for their own events. We cannot thank Wild Whisk enough for their part in making our wedding day so special. Their exceptional food, outstanding service, and the overall dining experience they provided were beyond our expectations. We highly recommend Wild Whisk to anyone looking for catering services that truly stand out.

      From the very first email to the final toast, Chef [Name/Company] was our single, steady point of contact—responsive, warm, and unflappably calm. What we didn’t expect? The owner herself rolled up her sleeves and worked the entire night, orchestrating every detail with the energy of a best friend who just happens to be a culinary genius. The food was nothing short of spectacular: every passed hors d’oeuvre disappeared in seconds, the plated mains were restaurant-caliber, and the late-night snack station kept the dance floor packed. Guests are still texting us about the truffle mac bites and the perfect medium-rare filet. Our servers and bartenders were pure class—attentive without hovering, quick with a smile, and somehow always one step ahead of every need. The bar lines moved like clockwork, and the signature cocktails were poured with flair. In a sentence: they didn’t just cater our wedding—they became part of the love story. If you want food that wows, service that sparkles, and a team that treats your big day like their own, book them yesterday. We’d give six stars if we could!
