Delicious food and Cheryl goes above and beyond to make sure the bride and groom have a perfect day! If it wasn't for Cheryl, I know our wedding reception would have looked very different (not in a good way). Don't hesitate in booking Eddie's - their staff is organized, helpful, and wants to make the day perfect.

Food was awesome! Finally got to have a reception for my son and his wife after 2 years of postponements. We ordered pulled pork, fried chicken and green beans. Everything was delicious, especially the green beans! Food was delivered on time and set up for us. Not only was the food amazing, it didn't break the bank.would definitely order from Eddie's again!

Food was delicious, especially the garlic mash. Cheryl was the real rock star though. She did so much up and above what we expected. She was integral in how the whole day went.

My girlfriend and I attended a wedding at the Diamond room on Sat. March 12th not knowing the dinner was to start immediately at the start of the reception. We arrived late and food was all put away. We found a server named Lori and told her our situation as we have not eaten yet She stepped up and prepared 2 plates of food for us, as were very grateful. Thank you Lori and God bless!

Hiring Eddie's Catering was one of the best decisions we made planning my daughter's wedding. We received so many compliments on the food that night and after! Cheryl was so helpful and I sometimes felt like she was my wedding coordinator. She helped us in many ways! When we got to the venue to decorate we had accidentally ended up short chargers and chair cushions. She made some phone calls and handled it for us! They packaged all the left over food for us and even made a little midnight snack bag for the bride and groom to take with them!

We had the worst experience as we were considering booking Eddies's for our wedding catering. They were not communicative at all. We had scheduled a tasting and the day of they canceled it after saying all we had to do was call and pay for it, leaving out that we had to do it before 11 when they hadn't contacted us until 9:22. Kyle then called me and said he would call me as soon as he got in on Monday morning to reschedule and instead I HAD TO EMAIL HIM on Thursday that week only to find out that he had never planned to reschedule.
It was extremely unprofessional when we had planned to use them for an entire month and with wedding planning during a pandemic, it's nearly impossible to find vendors. They put us in a very difficult position and I would never recommend using them as they were unwilling to help and find solutions. Problem solving is a job as a vendor and they lacked it extensively. DO NOT CONSIDER THEM. I would have rated a 0 if I could.
