I'll be honest, I thought other reviewers were exaggerating a bit about their guests commenting on Donelson's food but I kid you not, at least a dozen people went out of their way to tell us how amazing the food was at our wedding. The rosemary chicken was outstanding, and the veggies were cooked perfectly. I also highly recommend the crostinis! One guest said wedding food tends to be bleh at best, definitely not memorable, but they were blown away by how fresh and flavorful everything was. Huge thank you to Donelson's and Kimberly from our new family!

I used them for a repass. I don't think I've ever been to a funeral and have people ask who did the catering. Everyone raved about the food. The setup was great and the plastic ware also.

We used Donelson's Catering for our daughter's wedding reception. Kim was extremely helpful and accommodating. The food was exceptional! Kim and her staff were wonderful. We received so many compliments on the food. The presentation was beautiful also.

If I could give Donelson's Catering more then 5 stars, I most definitely would. I just got married in December 2021 and hands down A++++ from the tasting all the way up to the wedding. They are very responsive and they become like family. I seriously miss working with them. Their food is off the charts. Almost 2 months later, my guest still talk about how amazing the food was at the wedding.

One of the comments were "I've never had food like this at a wedding." I can not recommend them enough. I'm so glad I found them and hope to use them again soon at another event. Don't walk but run to book them for any upcoming event. You will not regret it.

I used Donelson's Catering for my daughter's wedding; I can't say enough good things about them. The food was excellent; the staff was professional; I didn't have to ask or remind them of any detail. Everything was perfect; I highly recommend them!

JUST PERFECT! If there were 10 stars, I would mark all 10! Donelson's Catering provided excellent food and service for our daughter's wedding in April. The guests loved the food choices. They are still telling us how much they enjoyed the cocktail hour and the dinner meal. We were so pleased with the entire experience. I can assure you that the Donelsons will be asked to cater many more events for our family. Professional service at its best!

We simply could not have been happier with Donelson's and highly recommend them. Excellent food, beautiful set-up, professional staff, flexible planning, and exquisite attention to detail. Our event was a very special one for my husband with terminal cancer, and Donelson's made everything easy, beautiful and delicious for out 150 guests at the Metal Museum. I am incredibly grateful for their service and help.

This company's services are amazing! Their ability to prepare and provide excellent foods with great presentation and attentive staffing; makes the events that they cater, memorable. My wife and I highly recommend Donelson's to our family and associates. In the case of each referral, the feedback and responses are ALWAYS very good. Another important aspect of the company is their consistency. They are prompt and timely. Donelson's is definitely a 5-Star catering operation.

Donelson's was so awesome to work with! We were initially looking at them and one other company to cater our wedding, and they by far exceeded our expectations with responsiveness, professionalism, and helpfulness. They accommodated my mom, the groom, and I for a tasting that allowed us to experience their culinary excellence and really choose the menu that our guests would enjoy.

They went above and beyond to serve us well in advance of and at the wedding. Kimberly was one of the first people I saw when I got to the venue, and she was so warm and welcoming! The food was really delicious, and as we greeted guests we saw clean plates and received many compliments on the food from both the guests and the wedding party. The carved roast beef was tender and cooked to perfection, and the honey dijon chicken paired really well with the honey carrots.

We also got many compliments that our food was not the "typical wedding food". Their servers took great care of us at the head table and made sure we had everything that we needed. Catering is a major part of the wedding day, and we appreciate Donelson's making such a critical part of the wedding something that we did not have to stress over at all!
