El Alma Catering 

5.0

Austin, TX

    El Chile Group Catering is a full-service wedding caterer based in Austin, TX. Their talented chefs offer versatile menus to suit couples’ unique visions. This friendly team strives to provide a five-star service. They will bend over backward to deliver an unforgettable dining experience.

    We had the most perfect wedding day in large part to Sarah and the El Alma team. We had to move our wedding from April to September due to the pandemic and Sarah helped me handle with so much patience and grace! We ended up having to change the style of service and some other details and it ended up working out flawlessly. Laguna Gloria is a beautiful venue but has limited time for load in and load out. Sarah and her team were phenomenal under the short time frame and even helped load out chairs and décor at the end of the night- such a huge help after hectic day! The team was very professional and took COVID-19 protocols very seriously which helped me relax and enjoy my big day! I had so many rave reviews and comments about the food too- it was so delicious!! I wanted multiple entrée options and we were able to have Beef Tenderloin, Salmon and the Sweet Potato Relleno (fan favorite!). The bartenders were amazing, too! It was nice we could provide all of the alcohol and custom curate cocktails and offerings. I strongly recommend the El Alma team if you want some upscale cuisine as well as a hard-working, professional and fun staff! :)

You can expect colorful, beautifully presented - and most importantly delicious options with a little Latin flare to choose from at every budget level, that everyone in the crowd will enjoy!

    We were thrilled with La Pera Catering for our wedding! Their communication was prompt, thorough and they were easy to work with every step of the way. The quality and value of their services was immeasurable - the food was absolutely delicious, thoughtful, and gourmet. As a vegetarian couple, we were so impressed by their ample vegetarian and vegan options, which our guests (both vegetarian and not!) raved were the best they'd ever had. The servers were also exceptionally kind and professional. La Pera worked with us to find the best options, and created a truly personalized menu that felt like “us”. We were proud to have them cater for us, and would gladly recommend them to anyone. If you're looking for a caterer who will go above and beyond with incredible food and service, especially for plant-based diets, La Pera Catering is a perfect choice!

    Hank's Catering 

    5.0

    Austin, TX
    • Starts at $2,000

    A few years ago we opened Hank’s as a neighborhood restaurant, bar and cafe. Located in the Windsor Park neighborhood of Austin, we offer everything from California style comfort food like grain bowls and gourmet burgers to fresh seafood, wood grilled salmon. We make everything in-house, including bread, pastas and pastries. We recently started Hank’s Catering to help make it easier for all those Hank’s out there that love to throw tons of parties to take away the burden of cooking and allow even the hosts enjoy the parties they throw just like their guests do.

    RedBook Events 

    5.0

    Austin, TX
    • Starts at $5,000

    Chef Adriana had carried two things with her since she was a child: a passion for food, and a red notebook. Through mock restaurants in her family home cooking meals for her sisters and friends before prom to culinary school, pastry classes, and working on the line at busy restaurants, her Red Book stayed full of ideas. And when she filled one, another Red Book took its place.

    Hiring RedBook events was one of our best decisions for our wedding. Not only did we receive prompt communication during their office hours (Wednesday to Saturday), but we were able to schedule for a smaller scale than many caterers are willing to do (50 people initial estimate). Follow up was excellent for confirming guest number, service timeline, allergy adjustments, and vendor meal needs. For our reception size (64 guests), we were able to get a reasonable price per person (31 per adult, 8.50 per kid) on a family style set-up. We chose marinaded chicken and stuffed poblano as entrees. All guests were satisfied with these food options and we were able to accommodate multiple allergies (special order for affected items) and flavor preferences. In addition, we were able to plan our linen/plate layout flexibly with Callie at the Premiere Events show room to fully customize the look with sample pieces. Planning for alcoholic beverage service was also satisfactory. Wine types for flavor pairings were recommended. While we did not like the specific brands recommended, my in-laws were able to purchase independently and make brand adjustments ahead of time. It was quite helpful to have an estimate of total needs and recommendations for general matching types of white and red (ie sauvignon blanc and pinot noir) was helpful.

    Wild Whisk 

    4.3

    • Starts at $750
    • Serves Austin, TX

    We are a private family boutique business working alongside our 4 children to teach them work ethic and business principles. My husband is an attorney and the “meat master” of the operation and I am a former pro makeup artist who now bosses people around about their appetizers and their aesthetic. We attended so many events where the food just sucked…..we knew we could do better and here we are, killing it in catering!!

    Our wedding was made even more memorable thanks to the exquisite catering provided by Wild Whisk. From the outset, their team demonstrated professionalism and a keen eye for detail, ensuring that every aspect of our wedding meal was nothing short of perfect. One of the highlights of their service was the Chicken Picatta. It was a hit among our guests, who raved about the perfectly cooked chicken, the balance of flavors in the sauce, and how it paired beautifully with the green beans and mash potatoes. The dish was not only delicious but also presented with elegance, adding a touch of class to our wedding dinner. But the culinary delights began even before the main course. Wild Whisk's appetizers were a topic of conversation throughout the evening. Each appetizer was a burst of flavor, beautifully presented, and served with the perfect accompaniment. My personal favorite was the couscous! I ate probably 3 of them in between socializing with our guests. What set Wild Whisk apart was their commitment to quality and flavor. It was evident that they used high-quality, fresh ingredients, and their culinary skills shone through in every dish they served. The service staff was also impeccable, providing attentive and friendly service that made our guests feel well taken care of throughout the evening. Choosing Wild Whisk as our caterer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Their dedication to creating a memorable dining experience for us and our guests was apparent in every detail. We received numerous compliments on the food, and many guests asked for their contact information for their own events. We cannot thank Wild Whisk enough for their part in making our wedding day so special. Their exceptional food, outstanding service, and the overall dining experience they provided were beyond our expectations. We highly recommend Wild Whisk to anyone looking for catering services that truly stand out.
