    The Best Catering

    My Daughter and Son-in-law got married on June 29, 2019 at an off-site location, several counties away from Callahan's Catering. Leanne set up a food tasting and Amanda and Jeremy booked Callahan's right away. From the very beginning, Leanna was amazing. She kept in touch, never forgetting about the wedding, always so helpful, even answering questions that the off-site venue couldn't be bothered with. Leanne treated us as if we were family and not just clients from the very beginning.

    The morning of the Wedding, Leanne texted me to make sure there was nothing else we needed. Her and a staff of about 6 others showed up at the venue a couple hours early to do last minute preparations. Even though we constantly got in their way, and the outside venue was about 90+ degrees, all the staff were very kind and extremely professional. Even during their set up, they made sure to ask if we needed anything.

    While my Daughter, her Husband, and the Wedding Party were taking pictures after the wedding, Appetizers were served, which I heard were outstanding. When it was time for us to line up for a buffet, the staff were all very attentive. The wait staff would not let the Wedding Party, myself, and those who had a hard time walking carry their food plates back to the tables. They were sweet, friendly, and always had genuine smiles. The buffet was set up very nice, salads all cold, and meats were hot. Catering is very difficult off-site, but Callahan's are true professionals. The food was absolutely Amazing !!!! All of the Wedding guests raved about how good the food was, many of them said it was hands down the BEST Catering they have ever had!! I very much agree.

    Thank you from the bottom of my heart Leanne and Staff, for helping to make Amanda and Jeremy's Wedding such a special, stress free day. You have made us lifetime clients for any Catering needs.

    Callahan's Catering's reply:

    These words make my heart happy :)
    You were all awesome as well, which makes our jobs easier. Thank you so very much for taking the time to write this and for your sweet gifts. I wish you all the best and hope to see you again in the future!
    Love,
    Leanne

    Great experience

    Leanne was great to work with. Food was excellent, many of my guests continued to compliment us after the wedding about how great the food was. Leanne was easy to work with. Many options to choose from for food and beverage

    Thank you so much, Shelby! It was an absolute pleasure working with you and Manny. Merry Christmas!

    Callahan's did an unbelievable job in every facet of our reception. Leanne was a perfect balance of informative and flexible. She responded quickly and effectively. Food was delicious and servers did a great job of quickly setting up, taking down, and moving our 250 guest through the line. Leanne handled all the coordination with our photographers and DJ letting us focus on other things. She was flexible about when we could get in to set up. We could not have asked for a better vendor to work with for our wedding!

    Thank you Adam! I am sorry I am just now seeing this review but I truly appreciate your kind words!!

    Leanne and Callahan’s Catering hands down is the best caterer you will find! Their prices are so reasonable, and the food is fabulous with so many options. We received so many complements throughout the night, and everyone agreed it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding! What impressed us the most is how above and beyond Leanne went to ensure our entire evening was perfect. She assisted throughout the plannings process, pointing out things I hadn’t thought of as we had an off site venue. She worked so hard providing multiple options to accommodate us while meeting our strict budget, and took care of every detail big and small. I cannot recommend Callahan’s enough or put into words how truly amazing Leanne and her team are! Thank you all SO very much! Our wedding day was incredible, and we owe so much of that to you!

    Leanne, what can I say? You have been advising, responding, informing, solving, guiding, and generally holding my hand since FEBRUARY 2016! Thanks for putting up with me. The way you do business is a model of what hospitality is all about. We have been overwhelmed by compliments from our guests and they all go to you!

    Truly enjoyed working with you and I sincerely appreciate your sweet review! Thank you again for choosing Callahan's Catering!

    Leanne is more than helpful when it comes to the catering. She (along with her team) did more than they were supposed to. All of our wedding guests ranted and raved about how amazing the food was, they still do that! Food was all hot and steamy and was more than we could ask for!!

    Leanne and her staff were phenomenal to work with for our wedding reception! The staff was professional, the food was excellent and Leann was a joy to work with. Leanne truly kept me sane during the week leading up to the wedding by making sure everything was planned out perfectly.
    We chose a plated dinner with three options (beef, grecian chicken and smoked salmon). The food was amazing and our guests loved that we chose cheese quesadillas and mini gyros as two of our five hors d'oeuvres as they are not typical "wedding food". All of the food was steaming hot when it was served which was fantastic! All of our guests loved the food and kept asking about Callahan's.
    We chose St. Andrews and Callahan's after checking out a few other options in the area which all required you to spend a minimum of $10,000 on the reception. We did not want to spend a ton of money but wanted great food and a pretty location. With Callahan's we were able to achieve that goal. It was also wonderful that they offered coupons for attending events. Overall, we are extremely happy that we chose Callahan's and could not have asked for a better experience.

    Leanne and her staff are some of the most professional people I have ever dealt with. The three meetings that we had with Leanne were always conducted in a friendly but business oriented way, the staff at the reception were courteous and friendly and they worked extremely hard. We can't say thank you enough for that side of their service. On top of all of that, the food was great! We were afraid that my husband and I wouldn't have any appetizers (or the bridal party for that matter) but when we arrived they were sitting at the head table for us. I didn't ever have to carry my plate (a staff member did it for me) and we were attended to promptly by everyone. Callahan's Catering is a class act and I recommend them to everyone!

    Callahan's Catering's reply:

    Thank you so much for your awesome review! That means a lot! I loved working with you and Brandyn and hope to see you again sometime! I see that The Brick has a place on their website to review caterer used as well, I would LOVE for you to do that so we could possibly get more events at that awesome venue :)

    Leanne with Callahan's is an absolute GEM! The whole process could not have been easier and the night went off without a hitch. Dinner was the Italian buffet which guests raved about. Would absolutely recommend.

    Leanne and her staff went above and beyond for our December 14th wedding reception! There was a huge snow storm the day of and the hall was very flexible with getting dinner ready and the rest of the reception on the move. My husband and I chose the Polish buffet and it was perfect, there were so many complements from our guests about how our wedding was the best one they had been to in a while! We were able to decorate the hall on the Thursday before the wedding which completely eased the stress of the long to-do list every bride has leading up to the big day. We booked the hall over a year in advance and Leanne was available every step of the way with every question I had. The tastings were great and every time we attended one, we were reassured we made the best decision. I would completely recommend Callahan's Catering at St. Andrew's Hall to a friend for their wedding.

    Is there a 6-star option?! Callahan's Catering is fantastic and Leanne and her staff are beyond amazing. Not only do you get a gorgeous location for your reception in the form of St. Andrews, but the food is superb and doesn't cost you an arm and a leg and Leanne is beyond helpful in offering tips and suggestions on how to make the most of your wedding day. We had the Sirloin of Beef and Vegetarian Mostaccioli for our main entreés. Our favourite side was the Greek-style green beans. You've GOT to try their Spanikopita -- to die for!! Everyone raved about the food and service afterward. 110% recommending Callahan's to anyone and everyone, not just for weddings.

    Phil and I had such an amazing experience with Leanne from Callahan's. We used the hall Good Samaritan Center at St. Andrew's. We are members of the church and decided to have everything at the same place for our guests. Of course being a bride, I was so worried about things going smoothly. Everything was a breeze and I didn't have to worry about anything! The Callahan's crew were all so very polite, and willing to help me with everything as in carrying my plate from the buffet, getting our drinks and having an amazing area for us to have appetizers and drinks in. I would send Leanne a email probably about everyday changing my mind on things, did she care? NO! She was so willing to give us ideas to have an awesome Greek/American wedding. If you are looking to have a stress-free reception, Please check out Callahan's.

    Our experience with Callahan's was flawless! Leanne is super friendly and willingly answers all questions. She is very experienced with what she does. Callahan's has amazing food and unbeatable prices. We had an Italian buffet with lasagna, chicken, green beans, salad, and bread and we received numerous compliments on the food and service. I highly recommend Callahan's to anyone looking for a caterer!

    I could not have asked for a better person to deal with then LeAnn! She was so great and paid attention to every detail. Would get back to answer questions right away. Made sure to make every aspect of the reception perfect! Food was great and the venue was perfect. BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK! Would not have gone anywhere else. Honestly could not speak enough praise for everything her and her staff did. Looked at many places and venues, but look no further - this place is it!

    We cannot thank Leanne and Callahans Catering enough for making our day 100% perfect. She was a pleasure to work with from the 1st email asking about availability and prices, through the planning process, and played a huge roll in WOWING our 300 guests. She replied to emails quickly, helped accommodate ANY special request we had, and served the best polish dinner we have ever had. The staff were so helpful and organized that we did not have to worry about a single thing during the evening. Thank you again!!!!

    Callahan's Catering's reply:

    Thank you so much Laura! It was definitely our pleasure! I wish you both the same bliss you felt that day for the rest of your lives!

    My husband and I couldn't have been happier with Callahan's! They made our day so easy....willing to help in any way they could and always happy to do it. After the wedding we had tons of compliments on the service,food and hall! I've already recommended them to some people and will continue to do so in the future. Leanne is wonderful and even offered to help me when my bustle fell on my dress. Couldn't say more nice things about how great they are!

    Callahan's was great to work with from the very beginning. I booked with them 15 months prior to my wedding reception. I went to 5 tastings which was always great and got a coupon for going to each one. Their prices are very affordable and the food and service are amazing. I never felt like I couldn't talk to Leanne when I needed her. She answered every one of my questions and made me feel at ease. I would recommend Callahan's to anyone who wants a caterer they can trust! Not worrying about anything on your big day is so amazing and relaxing!!

    Callahan's Catering's reply:

    Thank you so much Allison! I really appreciate it and hope to see you at future tastings!! Loved working with you!!

    Callahans made it easier for us to enjoy the special day of our life, and Leanne was fantastic to work with. Always there to answer questions, and giving advice and suggestions. She also reffered us to other vendors who did a wonderful job. Everyone liked the food and venue, and the prices I would say their prices are very low for the services they provide.We could repeat our wedding day any day with Callahans, and we look forward to using them for our aniversaries to come.

    Callahan's Catering's reply:

    Thank you so much you two! You were both awesome as well! Hope you're doing well! Our next tasting is Sunday, Nov 4th at 4pm if you'd like to come!

    Callahan's Catering gets a 5 Star from us! They were beyond amazing to work with! Extremely friendly, easy to work with, and their food was AMAZING! Our guests are still talking about how nice the hall was (St Andrews), how nice the servers were, and how awesome the food was! We didn't have one single thing go wrong and a huge part of that was because Callahan's was on top of things! I'd DEFINITELY recommend them to anyone!
