Above & Beyond Catering

Above & Beyond Catering was an absolute dream to work with. They were so friendly and accommodating to our every need. The food was absolutely delicious and I am still getting compliments from guests to this day. Shellie and Kylie are the sweetest ladies you will ever meet... they really made my wedding day a dream. Everything was perfect and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding caterer!!! More...

We are so happy that we chose Above and Beyond to cater our wedding. It was a joy to work with Shellie as we tasted and settled on the menu. She has such a wealth of knowledge and experience and is overall just a lovely person. We chose to serve a plated dinner with a choice of Beef Medallions with a Pinot Sauce, Bruschetta Chicken and Bean and Kale stuffed Portobello. We received so many complements about the food. It was delicious! She also helped us to set up the desert and coffee stations. The whole experience was exceptional! I would strongly recommend Above and Beyond for all catering needs. More...

We got married this past summer and Above & Beyond catered our wedding. They were absolutely phenomenal. There were so many praises from everyone, even our photographer said that it was the best food he has ever had at a wedding. I also did not have a wedding planner, and I truly appreciated that Above & Beyond was one of the only vendors I did not have to worry about. They did everything. Including making the station setups look beautiful. I cannot recommend them enough! More...

Mother of the Bride: We were over-the-top in love and impressed with Kylie M wedding catering coordinator! Her professionalism along with personal interest and talents made our daughter's and son's in-law wedding a lovely celebration. The food was tasty, plentiful and served quickly to 225 guests. A great accomplishment. Thank you! More...

Wow! This company truly went above and beyond to make our daughter’s wedding reception wonderful! Kylie M. was fabulous at taking care of our needs and nicely taking care of several changes made along the planning route. She was so professional and so very kind and personal, always with sweet words and always accommodating to help me plan the wedding in two short months. So glad I got to meet her on the wedding day! The food was fantastic and beautifully presented. Their service was excellent. The staff was so nice and helpful. Our guests loved the food and complimented it for days after the wedding. I will certainly be booking something with Above and Beyond again! You must do the same! More...

We were very happy with our experience using Above & Beyond.

Above and Beyond really lived up to their name. We had our reception at the Oak Ridge Golf Club under a beautiful white tent. It was a great price, and great food. Honestly I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I felt like everything was as beautiful as I imagined, and having a plated dinner instead of a buffet made the whole reception feel so elegant.

Dave was great at helping us decide on the menu. We did the duet plate which was perfect as one, we did not have to worry about asking everyone which dish they wanted for dinner. We served chicken and beef and our guests loved it.
The service and food was great. We selected them based on reviews as we are from out of state. We wouldn't have changed a thing. More...

I had my wedding in May of 2014. I chose to work with Above & Beyond because my cousin used them for her wedding and they did a glorious job. Whenever I had a question about anything during the planning process, from guest lists to decorating suggestions, I was eagerly assisted. I sent out invites and counted up my RSVP's, and I was suggested to assume several more would show up so that we didn't run out of food. Cut to the day of the wedding. A&B was at the hall first thing in the morning with staff, prepping food. They brought table linens and chair covers that matched our colors perfectly. Then, the worst happened. A lot more people showed up without RSVPing than we had expected. Shellie handled the situation like a champion, and everyone got fed. I was immensely impressed with not only the food that we had ordered, but the set up, and how fluidly a tough situation was handled. I know I will be recommending Above & Beyond to anyone looking to show their party guests great food, excellent presentation, and staff willing to do whatever it takes to make they special day a truly memorable experience.

We can't say enough about the level of service provided by Shellie and her team at Above & Beyond. Our friends and family are still raving about the amazing food at our wedding! Shellie was beyond accommodating in creating our menu. She was also very responsive, as I never went more than 24 hours without hearing back from her. Her friendliness and professionalism was evident from the first conversation we had about our reception. Her willingness to try new things and add unique, custom items to our menu was so appreciated. She truly did go "above and beyond" in making our wedding reception perfect. Thank you! More...

We recently worked with Dave and team for out wedding. I have to say they truly live up to their name and went above and beyond to ensure that we had an excellent day with no stress!

What can I say about the food? Well, I've never been to a wedding where people literally Dave about how good the food is. At our wedding, we heard raves. They worked with us to create a menu that encompassed the classic (prime rib) to the fun (cheeseburger sliders and sesame chicken skewers). Everything was done to perfection and our only regret was that we didn't eat more (but what bride and groom actually get to eat enough at their own wedding?).

I highly recommend Above and Beyond and will certainly use them again if the opportunity occurs! Thanks so much!! More...

I work in an office where we have catering regularly. We do a lot of training, and many of the programs included catered breakfast and lunch. In the 8 months I've been here, I've never bothered asking who provided the catering. Most of it has been "Cool! Free food!" level, some has been kinda bad, but generally, nothing worth raving about. Until today.This is the first time I've asked *who* provided the catering. The food was delicious. Bacon done perfectly. A hashbrown casserole that was moist and flavorful. Excellent presentation. And a breakfast pastry platter that included scones that were not dry and crumbly and falling apart. Simply amazing. I'm looking forward to lunch - apparently Alfredo is on the menu, and it's rare to get that catered without it becoming sticky and flavorless.Considering this is all for, essentially, something that's not a major event (wedding, party, whatever) - it's really good. It sounds like our office will use them more often. More...

We worked with Above and Beyond (GR location on Knapp) for our wedding in April. Kylie and the staff was great to work with! Very responsive, professional, and helpful. They even went outside of catering and Shelli (the owner, i think) helped us figure out our bar to best help save us money, even though we did not use their bar service. They went beyond the catering and worked with our venue to help coordinate everything. The food was great. We went with a buffet and it was hot and we came no where close to running out! I would use them again! More...

We loved working with Above and Beyond Catering. Their name definitely speaks to how they handle business. We worked mostly with Dave, and he was so responsive to emails. The tasting was fun and almost an event in and of itself. The food was delicious - and we got to bring the leftovers home :). Multiple servers kept checking on my husband and me to see if we needed anything, and they even helped us get our food and carry it back from the buffet. It was nice little touches like that that made for a wonderful experience. More...

I had such a great experience with Above and Beyond! I especially enjoyed working with their event planner Dave. Everything from the initial tasting to the actual event was seamless, professional, and, of course, delicious. The weeks leading up to the wedding I was very busy and appreciated their ability to take the reins and put together such a beautiful event.

I have been told that the Bride and Groom never get a chance to eat at their own wedding. The food was so good I can tell you that not only did we make time to eat, but we also had seconds! More...

Above and Beyond Catering did a wonderful job catering our wedding. The food was fresh and delicious, people are still taking about how good the food was. The only thing I didn't like was that we weren't allowed to take the food home with us which was a bummer because as the bride I was so busy I didn't have time to enjoy the food as much as I would have liked to. But other than that it was great and we had plenty of food for everyone. More...

Above & Beyond catered our event at The Event Center at Fricano Place, and we could not have been more impressed. When meeting with potential caterers, Above & Beyond truly stood out among our other options. They were professional, extremely organized, and totally willing to accommodate our personal preferences. At our first meeting with Above & Beyond, we received a detailed print with cost estimates and break down based on the number of guests we wanted, the buffet option we chose, and even included our appetizers. This was HUGE for us! We worked with Mary Beth throughout most of the planning process. She was fun, easy to get ahold of, and very organized. She responded to my emails within 1 business day and made our planning very easy. She even accommodated our last minute changes without any problem or fuss. During the event, the buffets looked great, and matched our wedding colors. We had TONS of compliments on the food, and had a really good variety of options for all tastes (including vegetarian). We elected to do the "kids plates" and they were a huge hit with the kids, and were actually served early which was great, as the kids were hungry! The onsite coordinator was very helpful and was attentive to our needs at the head table. Overall, we were very pleased with Above & Beyond, and would highly recommend them! More...

Above and Beyond is the PERFECT name for this catering company! From the first time my husband and I met Shellie (owner) we knew this was our catering company. We felt like family right from the beginning. Shellie knows her stuff, is funny, honest, and caring. The head chef, David, is also great and truly talented! He took great care of us during our food tasting. Amanda, one of the site supervisors, was equally as wonderful. We had absolutely no worries for the day of our wedding. We knew we were in GREAT hands! The food was EXCELLENT! Our guests are still raving about it. Although we got married in Holland, we actually live near Detroit....But if we lived out that way I would use Above & Beyond for all of my catering needs! I cannot say enough good things about this company. Their prices are great for the quantity and quality of food received. More...

Dave was so helpful in helping us plan our event. I just wish there were better places in the building for the bridal party to get ready. We used the coat room, since we ended up with a beautiful 70+ degree day in March, no one needed to hang up a coat. I also wish that the bathrooms were bigger. You have to squeeze in the stall and rub up against the toilet to shut the doors (or the stall doors should open out). I'm a germ-a-phobe but I was not the only one with the complaint that "my dress touched to toilet when I shut the door." The bathrooms were visually clean, but it's just the thought. The bride would never fit in one of those bathrooms- I had to basically go outside to use the bathrooms that the golfers use for the handicap stall. More...

Working with Dave was great! His responses to my numerous emails were usually prompt and always thorough! He offered us some pretty phenomenal deals as our wedding was "off season" and we were also using Above & Beyond for our beverage service. Because of this we were able to offer our guests a choice of entrees (we had a plated dinner and the Above & Beyond staff did a wonderful job of serving each guests the entree of their choosing .... it took a bit longer than we would've liked for everyone to be served, but that may just be the nature of the beast when you have a plated dinner) as well as offer a signature drink. Dave did a great job of researching our specialty cocktail and offered us samples prior to serving them to our guests. They ended up going over much better than anticipated and we really appreciated Dave's help in making that happen! We also appreciated how closely Dave worked with our other vendors so that we didn't have to worry about any of the small details on our big day! More...
