Unique Dining catered my wedding. We had chicken and steak and it was AMAZING. I had wedding guests raving about the food.some even said it was the best steak they have ever had. The staff was professional and kind. 1000000% recommend them for catering!

They catered my neighborhood party. They delivered, setup and gave me a crash course in catered events. The communication leading up to the event was very smooth. The food was awesome and a great value. We had so many left overs that everyone got to take leftovers home!

We had Unique Dining cater my son's grooms dinner. The food was wonderful! We were very pleased with how smoothly the set up went for preparing the Italian buffet. Unique Dining took a lot of the stress off of me for hosting the evening.

Unique dining catering did the food for our wedding a few weeks ago. They were super easy to work with and let us come try the meal we picked before we officially decided which was really nice. They were very fast to respond to emails or concerns and made any accommodations we asked for. The day of the wedding was stress-free because I knew that they would do wonderful. UDC met my expectations and the food was great and many of our guests commented on how good it was.

They gave us any leftovers from the wedding which was awesome after coming back from our honeymoon and not wanting to cook food right away. It tasted good even after being in the freezer for a couple of weeks too! I would recommend UDC for your wedding!

The staff here are fantastic at their jobs. Every single person involved in the catering of our wedding reception on our property was amazing. We chose to have a pig roast for 104 guests. I should mention I'm very picky. I don't even like to eat out because I'm usually disappointed. Not the spread UD did. Everything was amazingly delicious! The staff were attentive to everything during the entire length of the event. I can't give enough compliments to UD. Thank you so so much!

Unique Dining was incredibly accommodating for my wife and I wedding. We had to delay due to Covid, and the people at UD were so nice and gracious. Our guests all commented that the food was the best wedding food they have ever had. We even had a ton of leftovers that our grandparents, parents, and ourselves ate after the wedding! I highly recommend this place.

Our food was amazing! We brought some home from the office party and our families loved it too! Their staff was beyond friendly and did an excellent job serving and cleaning for us. Can't wait to use them again!

We booked a wedding venue that only allowed Unique Dining for catering. We loved the venue so we assumed the catering would be great too. They literally ran out of food to serve 20 people, it was quite embarrassing and certainly not something you dream of on your wedding day. We reached out to discuss the issue, and all they had to say was "the head table took too much food." Sure, the boys did take generous servings. But, we paid for 210 guests and only 186 guests attended our wedding - 24 less people than we paid for.

You're telling me the head table ate an additional 24 servings of the people who didn't attend, and then also the 20 servings that the last table didnt get. Come on. It's not a terribly cheap catering company, and certainly not cheap enough to run out of food. I would have liked some money back for the lack of food they provided, or at the least we wish they would have admitted they didn't provide enough food and apologize, but they didn't even do that.

I used this provider for a last minute graduation celebration for my son and nephew, with approximately 20 guests. I had priced take-out barbeque from a local chain for the event. UDC provided the same food items, delivered, with a buffet set up for the same price as pick up at the chain restaurant. The food was excellent. Everyone loved it, and my guests took the leftovers home. UDC was very easy to work with, and I appreciated their willingness to cater our event at the last minute. I would not hesitate to use UDC again.

Our son and his wife had their wedding and reception at the Bloom Lake Barn Memorial Day week-end and used Unique Dining as the caterer as they were the preferred caterer for the venue. It was a disaster. I was told the head grill master did not show up. Not sure who the substitute was, but our other son saw them poor a whole bottle of lighter fluid on the grill.

And it smelled and tasted like it. It took between 2.5 to 3 hours to serve 160 guests. Nope, it was only 130 guests because they ran out of food, and 30 people got none. People left right away, grumbling on their way out the door. They brought in pizzas, put them up by the bar area, but people did not know they had come. The chicken was like hockey pucks, and the steak was dry and hard to chew.

Couldn't finish mine. I felt bad for the servers. The only reason I give it 1 star is because the appetizers were good. How do you run out of food when you've been doing this for a number of years? People won't remember the wedding, they'll remember how bad the reception was.

To start it out if you want to be stuck in a contract through all these hard times with Cohvid go here. We got stuck in a contract with them and felt bent over a barrel the whole time. With them not being able to have full capacity and other stipulations they couldn't work with us for any partial refund with the balance we had paid which was the whole thing. Ended up having them cater to our house which in turn still didnt see any money back and we were forced to use the whole balance. then the day of the wedding came and the waiting staff was complaining the whole time of having to serve to us cause not everyone was wearing a mask. U were not forced to be a server that day.

Also later in the night a bartender asked if they could leave cause "it didnt make sense for two bartenders to be there". Werent gonna argue on our wedding night but we had paid 350$ a piece for them to be there. Overall would never recommend this place and or catering company to cater anyones wedding.

Unique Dining and our event coordinator Amanda were extremely easy to work with planning a casual backyard wedding celebration for our son and daughter-in-law. We came in with an empty slate and she had helpful, thoughtful suggestions. Menu items were flexible to meet vegetarian needs. Amanda was timely with all correspondence during our planning.

On the day of event our server, Kyle was very courteous and efficient - setting up, replenishing and taking down. We hardly knew he was there (which was perfect). There were many great comments from our guests about the food (chicken in wine sauce & beef burgundy tips - and the green beans were crisp). As proof there were several guys who went up for second servings that were larger than their firsts! Starting out, I had no recommendations for a catering service, so I just googled "Catering near me". I got pretty darn lucky and I'd highly recommend Unique Dining for your event - large or small.

Unique Dining provided catering services for our wedding at Bloom Lake Barn in August 2019. We planned our wedding in only 4 months and, needless to say, it was a little crazy. Unique dining made the food portion of planning so easy! I largely corresponded with Amanda, and she was WONDERFUL - prompt, professional, and SO thorough in her responses.

She was clear and upfront about all costs associated with the options we were considering. The food provided had a good range of price points (~$18 to 30-something). Unique dining allowed us to bring in our own desserts and alcohol (w/ associated fee) but was still willing to help with plating and serving the desserts. Day of, they were fantastic.

The servers were pleasant and hard workers. As mentioned above, they went above and beyond to help serve the outside desserts we had brought in and to clear the outside dinnerware we had brought. We had 10+ guests who were gluten intolerent/Celiac, and unbeknownst to us, the chef was able to make our entire menu gluten free (aside from rolls) so that our guests didn't have to worry about getting a separate meal. Oh, and the food was DELICOUS. I have been told by multiple guests how impressed they were. I thoroughly recommend Unique Dining!

Unique Dining Catering was on time, extremely professional and efficient in set up. They were very informative and asked questions when needed (which I greatly appreciated). When cleaning up they were quiet and did not disturb the guests or dance. The food was hot and ready right on time. We had many guests compliment how amazing the food tasted as well!

My husband and I were just married this last weekend and had Unique Dining Experiences roast us a large pig for dinner. All I can say is that they did a superb job! The meat was tender, the sides were fantastic, the service was seamless. I am thoroughly impressed. Amber, their event coordinator, was very efficient and has excellent customer service skills. I would highly recommend this catering company to other soon-to-be married couples!
