Central College Catering

  • Caterer
  • Serves De Soto, IA

Central College Catering caters on-campus and off-campus events year round. We work with many vendors and venues around the area to cater weddings, rehearsal dinners, corporate events, family reunions, etc.

Awarded Best of Zola
We chose CCC for our catering on the recommendation of one of the bride's maids who had used them. They were very easy to work with, so when the site for the rehearsal dinner required a caterer, we asked them to step in at the last minute, and when we decided to do a day-after brunch they also were our last-minute go-to. We couldn't have been happier. The catering for the rehearsal dinner was great. They were there on time, and the food was hot and delicious. The staff stayed throughout the meal, did the clean-up, and were very cordial. The reception dinner was perfect. Again, the food was ready on time and was excellent. I was most impressed with the professionalism and attentiveness of the staff who would have done credit to the finest country club. Central College Catering was extremely reasonable in their pricing, the service was great, the food was wonderful, and working with them was so easy. It is a pleasure to get the opportunity to recommend them to others.

Hi! We are Kurt and Madeline Drummond. We are a husband and wife team who are hopeless romantics and love capturing other's love stories through film. We met on Tinder, yes you read that correctly. We are a Tinder success story. #WeSwipedRight. We just got married on June 5, 2021, so we know what it is like to be on both sides of the wedding scene. When we aren't editing wedding films we are snuggled up with our son Brooks and our dog Oliver watching a movie or bellied up to the bar at Texas Roadhouse. 😊

Awarded Best of Zola
Kurt & Madeline were the videographers for our wedding, and we couldn’t have asked for a better pair to shoot our day. They arrived early and were respectful, yet friendly, to everyone. They were knowledgeable about how a wedding day should run and what to shoot, including bringing a drone for beautiful video of our venue from above. We received our sneak peek and full video back within the the timelines they gave, and both videos were beautiful. I would highly recommend Proper Films, and if I were getting married all over again, I would choose them again in a heartbeat.

A true "American Dream” story; their once “side hustle” has blossomed into a full time growing business that also employs their children and is still sparking their creativity to this day.

ASE helped ease our minds throughout the entire planning process! The entire team, start to finish, made our big day a breeze! We loved that they sent out an email the week of to all of the vendors ensuring that they were all on the same page! ASE even pulled off a suprise photobooth rental, gifted to us by my (the brides) parents! DJ RJ was the best! We threw a lot of "untraditional" reception ideas at him and he went with it, supported it and best of all, had fun with it! We had a great time and RJ really listened to our requests! We gave him a broad genre of music and he got it right! The entire team was truly the best! Would highly recommend to any couple looking for a quality company who care for every single wedding they work!

She came very prepared and brought along items like a stain stick and a bride hanger to be prepared for anything that could’ve happened to ruin the look. She was flexible with us when we decided to tweak our timeline a little bit during our wedding and made sure to just go with it and capture all the moments of us with our guests. She really takes time to get to know you as a couple and has so much fun with you while she hypes you up to get the best shots.

Photography has always been my happy place - I started shooting professionally after graduating college in 2017. Posing is necessary for some shots, however, I want to capture you being you. Let's have some fun together! I believe the best shots are the ones where you are feeling comfortable and being yourself. My personal assistant is my puppy, Theo. He loves to spend the day cuddled up under my desk while I'm editing. When I'm not shooting or editing sessions you can find me drinking ridiculous amounts of coffee, running with my pup or spending time with my loved ones.

We absolutely loved working with Susan for our engagement and wedding photos! She made both of us feel so comfortable from the start (no easy feat for my now-husband in front of the camera!) We got married during an ice/sleet storm, and she really helped keep me calm when I realized that my vision of wedding photos outside were going to be a no-go. I can't tell you how many compliments I still get about all of our photos, over a year after our wedding. Highly recommend booking her for your big day -- but do it fast! I have a feeling her calendar will only start to book up more and more as people discover her and her incredible talent :)

We couldn't be happier with the photo booth service at our wedding! From start to finish, the experience was seamless and added so much fun to our big day. People were lining up to get their turn, and it really brought everyone together. Highly recommended for any couple looking to add a bit of fun and lasting memories to their wedding!

I work as a wedding photographer in the Midwest, but if you check out my portfolio, you'll see my passion for traveling. While I adore traditional weddings, I also have a soft spot for elopements! I love coffee, hanging out with my friends, and film photography as well!
