Reviews of Whatever Works Catering (Catering)

Kelly Bankard

I can’t recommend Whatever Works Catering highly enough! I’ve used them for two business events this year, and I now consider them my go-to for all my catering needs. Not only is the food delicious and well-presented, the service is truly unparalleled. Emili and her staff are friendly, knowledgeable, timely, and always willing to go the extra mile to meet whatever needs arise. I have recommended Whatever Works to friends and business associates alike, and will continue to do so. I’m so grateful I found them!!

We are so happy with Whatever Works. Catering is probably the biggest decision you will make for your wedding. We were in good hands with WW. They answered all of our questions throughout the process and worked with us every step of the way. Their staff is very friendly and most importantly, their food is amazing. As we walked around meeting guests, I saw that their plates were wiped clean! We worked with Emili and she was really great and on top of everything. Everything was flawless!

WWC catered our July 2014 wedding with an abundant appetizer meal. The food was delicious and the presentation was amazing! Weeks after the event, guests were still commenting on the food. Emili worked closely with us to customize our menu as our guest list included a number of folks with special dietary restrictions (paleo, vegan, allergies), there was plenty of variety for everyone. But, WWC goes beyond catering. Emili coordinated room layout, including guest table arrangement and ceremony seating. On the day of the event she even directed rearrangement of the room to make more area for dancing. Her exceptional experience within the wedding industry was more than apparent. Emili and her staff do an amazing job working with other vendors; bar staff, venue management, rental companies and even the photographer. WWC provides the full package, they should go into wedding planning! I highly recommend Emili and her staff for any event. Thanks ladies for relieving some stress from our big day! Side note- Their stuffed mushrooms are a must have on any event menu!

The service was excellent but the food poor and insufficient quantity. We ran out of salad dressing and cookies (surely Costco cookies). The "Tangy beef and asparagus" salad was large bowls of packaged greens with some additions and what looked like canned asparagus piled on top. The asparagus went quickly leaving just greens for half of the group and with no dressing left. The "mediterranean pasta" was tasty if you like large penne pasta with an occasional vegetable. The dressing was good. i mixed my greens with it to add some flavor since I did not get asparagus or beef. Beveages included tea and lemonade mixed in the bathroom of the facility - no ice. There was plentiful and tasty bread and honey butter - thank goodness!

Thank you so much for providing the food for our wedding! The food was great, but what we appreciate the most is your open communication and the effort you put into making this process as easy as possible.

Whatever Works Catering did a wonderful job catering my wedding. The food was so delicious! I heard several compliments about it from people afterward. Emili was amazing to work with and very accommodating when it came to making some dishes dairy-free and adding a vegetarian one to our package. We rented plates, glasses, silverware and napkins through her too. I appreciated her offer to have them delivered earlier in the day so my coordinator could set up the tables completely before anyone arrived. It was a great experience overall!

From the beginning, Emli helped me with menu planning and got me the best-tasting foods I've ever had!! Seriously, try her stuffed mushrooms...you may never want to eat anything else ever again. She's flexible (I guess that's the "Whatever Works" part of the name) and helpful and so friendly. She even helps with renting dishes and tablecloths for great prices. Her workers are very professional and helpeful as well, going above and beyond their actual jobs to help out. Give her a call and you won't regret it, I promise you!! :)

Our wedding yesterday was catered by Whatever Works. On behalf of ourselves and our guests, hats off to Emili and staff for a flawless performance. Fabulous food (you must try their chicken salad sandwiches and stuffed mushrooms!), friendly service, trusted setup and removal, and utmost flexibility. We made a number of last-minute changes that were received with "I understand" and "Not to worry" reactions. Great value for money and we look forward to working with them again—and trust that some of our guests will too!

Emili and her staff are incredible. From our first meeting with her to the day of our wedding, she provided excellent service, delicious food, and communicated clearly and frequently with me. She worked with our tastes and helped us stay in budget. We received so many compliments on the food served at our wedding. I definitely recommend Whatever Works Catering - can't speak highly enough!
