We got married on October 31st, 2020, and while planning a wedding that year was full of ups and downs and confusions for a multitude of other reasons, All Occasions was a beacon of reliability and clear communication that we were very grateful for. Everything tasted great, many of my guests complimented the meal, and I really love how the table décor looked. As our wedding was Halloween themed, I invited the staff to dress up, and I was happy to see that they did and also had a good time. Friendly, Skilled, and Flexible, I would absolutely recommend All Occasions Catering to anyone planning an event or wedding. My wedding reception was one of the best nights of my life, and I am thankful for the role they played in it.

The quality of their work and value they provided was unmatched, with so many unique options and things to do for all of our guests. We were blown away by the variety of stunning photo locations on their property, and they even went the extra mile to run to the local liquor store to grab a special bottle that the venue didn't carry. The entire team was 100% committed to making our day perfect, and they delivered in spades. From the delicious food that our guests are still raving about, to the calm and organized vibe on the wedding day, The Foundry Social truly exceeded our expectations at every turn. We planned our wedding in just 4 months, but the team was with us every step of the way, and I've never felt more relaxed and confident on a big day. I can't recommend them highly enough!

From the moment we visited Buss Farms, we knew it was the perfect place for our wedding. The venue is absolutely stunning and everything we wanted. What truly makes it special are the owners, Stephanie and Matt. They are the kindest people we’ve ever met and made us feel like family from the very beginning. You can truly feel how much they love and care for each of their couples. One of the most memorable moments of our day was having Stephanie and Matt stand with me and open the barn doors into the ceremony. It was such a meaningful and emotional moment that I’ll never forget. Their presence throughout the day made everything feel so personal and heartfelt. It’s also amazing to see their kids around the farm, helping and being part of it all—it really adds to the family-run feel and makes the whole experience so warm and genuine. They can be as involved or not as involved as you'd like, but their love and care are always there. Stephanie helped me immensely when it came to planning and providing resources for different companies. Stephanie and Matt made the planning process smooth and stress-free. They were responsive, supportive, and went above and beyond to make our day perfect. Buss Farms isn’t just a beautiful venue—it’s a place filled with heart and so much faith. We’re so thankful we chose them on our big day!
