    Distinctive catering was amazing to work with. They did our cocktail hour charcuterie, reception meal, desserts, AND bar service. I have nothing but good things to say! Staff were polite and professional, and the food was amazing. I had several guests tell me it was the BEST food they had ever had at a wedding. And people are still talking about the amazing charcuterie display! The cheesecake was the best I’ve ever had, and the bar service was top tier. They are easy to communicate and work with, and the menu is easy to navigate. I very highly recommend distinctive catering- you can’t beat 4 services in 1!!

    Distinctive Catering & Bar Services was an excellent choice for our wedding. From the very beginning, their communication was fast, helpful, and reliable. They worked closely with us to select the perfect menu, offering a wide range of delicious options. On the day of the wedding, their professional servers quickly and efficiently served a plated dinner to our 150 guests. Emily was especially helpful in answering all of our questions leading up to the big day, ensuring everything went smoothly. The quality of their work and value was outstanding - we couldn't have asked for better food and service for our special celebration.
