Thankyou AnyThyme team
AnyThyme catering team was amazing!! From the day we sent an inquiry Jolene was great at communicating. She answered all my questions quickly and in detail to help me make a decision for our big day. Her and chef Alyssa were super accommodating with our last minute request for a tasting and squeezed us in with ease. We had some menu changes and add ons after our booking and Jolene was so great with working with us on those changes. She definitely made the experience of planning for a caterer easier. The day of our wedding they absolutely delivered exactly what they promised!!! They came prepared. The food was amazing! Their team was great and friendly. Service was awesome. They were definitely the right choice for us. I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Thankyou Jolene, Alyssa and team!

A Caterer That Treats You Like Family
My husband and I cannot recommend AnyThyme Catering highly enough. From our very first conversation, it was clear that Jolene and Chef Lyss genuinely care about the couples they work with and the experience they create. Throughout the entire planning process, their communication was excellent—responsive, thoughtful, organized, and always focused on making sure we felt supported and taken care of. What makes AnyThyme so special is that you truly work directly with the people who care most about your event. Jolene and Chef Lyss were incredibly invested in bringing our vision to life and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we could have wanted. Every interaction felt personal, and it was obvious that this is much more than a business to them: it is something they pour their hearts into. The food was great. We received countless compliments from our guests, and everything was executed seamlessly. Their team was professional, attentive, and worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure the evening ran smoothly. They took extra care for our guests with allergies and one guest who has Celiac, to make sure there was no cross contamination and everything would be safe and secure. Above and beyond! Beyond the amazing food and service, what we will remember most is how cared for we felt. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but AnyThyme consistently made us feel like we were in good hands. They were kind, accommodating, solution-oriented, and genuinely excited to celebrate alongside us. We are so grateful to Jolene, Chef Lyss, and the entire AnyThyme team for helping make our wedding day so special. If you're looking for a caterer that combines great food, smooth execution, and truly heartfelt service, look no further. We would choose them again in a heartbeat.
Jolene Ayala•Jun 22, 2026Hi Molly! This really made my day! Making couples feel taken care of on one of the biggest days of their lives is exactly why we do what we do. So happy we could be part of yours! Thank you for taking the time to tell your experience with us and all the kind words 😊😍 Can’t wait for the next event! Jolene

Excellent Food, Excellent Service
The food was delicious! Best macaroni and cheese hands down. The tri tip steaks were cooked perfectly and had a wonderful flavor.

Wonderful to work with
From the beginning AnyThyme Catering was incredibly easy to work with. Jolene was quick to respond to emails and easy to set up our tasting with. Once we met Chef Lyss and Jolene in person( and tasted their food) we knew we wanted them for our wedding. They are clearly passionate about what they do and genuinely care about making their clients day stress free and a great experience. We chose their American BBQ menu for our 130-person wedding and it did not disappoint! Their team showed up on time and worked seamlessly with our wedding planner to keep everything running smoothly. Our guests raved about the food and loved the charcuterie boards during cocktail hour. The complimentary water and tea station is such a nice touch and was appreciated. we also didn't end up with tons of leftovers which speaks to the efficiency of their planning. On the day every staff member we interacted with was so friendly . AnyThyme Catering delivered incredible food at a fair price, and we'd recommend them in a heartbeat for any and all types of events. Thanks so much guys!!! Roselyn and James
