I am so glad we chose DINE for our caterer. My husband and I are foodies who met in culinary school, so expectations were high for the food at our wedding and DINE delivered. We chatted with the owners about our ideas and they helped us develop the perfect menu that fit our needs and budget. We loved that they can truly accommodate any style or taste. I particularly love that they will only make food that can travel and presents well. They whole heartedly care about the integrity of the food and service. More...

I could not recommend Dine enough! Mark and Louise are the best! From the very beginning when they opened their space up to us after hours for a tasting, we knew we loved their business. People could not stop raving about the food at our wedding, and the bar- stocked with Bloody Mary and mimosa fixings for our brunch wedding- was fantastic! They saved us on linens, flatware, and silverware, and all of our food (cake included) was displayed so magnificently! Their staff was extremely professional- making sure the wedding party was taken care of during pictures. Louise made sure we were well fed and hydrated throughout our wedding, and Mark even came up to us to ask if everything was okay! I cannot sing their praises enough! Thank you so much, Dine! More...

Mark and his team did an outstanding job. A party for 70+ in my home went off without a hitch and when it was over it was like the party never happened. Many great comments on how wonderful the food and professional service was. They provide everything. All cleaned and cleared out when done. I’ll be using them again! More...

Dine catered my son's Bar Mitzvah luncheon for 120 guests in the social hall of our synagogue with a lovely hot buffet luncheon . The waitstaff had the passed appetizers ready to offer our guests as they entered the party room. The china plates, cloth napkins and stainless flatware added an elegant touch. Planning was easy with Mark and Louise, and Louise and her team did a great job keeping the buffet full and dishes cleared from the tables. Thank you Dine Catering for a great party. More...

Mark was an excellent caterer and really made us feel at ease. He was easy going and able to provide any additional items we might have needed (cake servers etc). He didn't put pressure on us to go one way or another and that was so nice to not have to worry about. He truly worked for us and the food was delicious. The presentation was excellent as well. He was on time, had great friendly service staff and very reasonably priced. We would highly recommend him and would be interested in hiring him again for future events. More...

Mark and Louise with DINE Catering were absolutely wonderful to work with. My wife and I got through all of the big parts of planning our wedding, but we had so many problems finding the most important part: the food! Our officiant told us to check out DINE, and so we did and things could not have gone better. Mark and Louise responded quickly, and within a week we were at the shop for the tasting. We were so impressed with the food that we knew we were ready to put money down right on site! Mark knows his way around food, he knows how your menu should look, and he even worked a seated dinner when our budget told us buffet only! The staff was unbelievable on the wedding day, and our guests were so impressed with the food, the service, everything! You cannot go wrong with DINE catering your event! More...

I cannot say enough good things about DINE! Mark and Louise were so friendly and accommodating, and were able to help me with catering for a work event for 65 people, even though we only contacted them less than 2 weeks out! They set up everything, including serving tables and cocktail tables, all with linens, and the displays for the food were beautiful. The food itself was absolutely delicious - the best catered food I've ever had! Their menu's were creative, and because there was so much that looked fantastic, we had a very hard time deciding what to choose. We sent them a large list of the things we were considering, and they helped pare it down to create a menu that was cohesive, and worked perfectly for our event. I wish I'd known about them when I got married 3 years ago. If you need an event catered, large or small, you absolutely cannot go wrong with DINE! They are the best. More...

I don't even know where to start with how amazing Mark and Louise are! We actually didn't even book our venue until we made sure they had availability for our date, and they were great throughout the entire process. They were very responsive and professional - I called them so many times throughout the planning period, and they literally answered every single time - not once was I sent to voicemail. Chef Mark has an incredible repertoire of dishes from many different cuisines, and that's what really drew us in. And we loved being able to customize our menu. For our wedding we had a seated dinner, and we had the opportunity to offer our guests a choice between 5 different entrees! But above all, the service provided the day of our event was phenomenal. My husband and I had already resigned to the fact that we wouldn't be eating much the day of our wedding, but they made sure we were taken care of. Chef Mark even sent someone to specifically follow us around while we took pictures during the cocktail hour to make sure we had some of the delicious hors d'oeuvres. Everyone loved the food and how beautifully it was all presented. The owners of our wedding venue told us later how much they enjoyed working with DINE and how professional, efficient, and on top of things everyone was. We highly recommend DINE Catering and Events!

The food was delicious, the setup was imaginative and enticing, and the servers were top-notch.As for me, working with Mark and Louise was a joy. They are positive, professional, and flexible. They did what they said they would do. They were there when they said they would be there.

We had a company Christmas party at Painting with a Twist and he took into consideration that we'd only have one hand and time for quick bites. I have no idea what his full plates taste like, but if they are anything like the appetizers and small bites we have they're sure to be fantastic!!! I would use them again a thousand times over!

Q&As

After sending a few sample menus out to our potential client within our initial discussion, we would usually phone the client, and listen carefully to their requirements, ideas and thoughts surrounding their special event.
We will then offer to meet with the client within their own home or at our premises based in North Houston, and offer a complimentary tasting from a range of menu choices dependent on budget and theme if applicable. We also then offer a number of extra services that can be included in the final price, but these are not essential and can be added or removed by the client at their wish.

We are proud to have worked with a huge range of clients across the globe during our time in the Hospitality industry.

We have worked with private clients within their homes, to members of the general public at large national and international events, and even have had the privilege of working with Global Royal Family members.

All of our clients are individually important to us and our complete focus of everything that we do. The unique and individualized nature of this industry allows us to work with such a diverse and exciting number of events and clients, and no day is identical to one another. This keeps life interesting!

After spending so many years developing individual businesses for others, either through restaurant management training programs, menu development or sales and marketing, we decided that this was something we wanted to try for ourselves. We had an opportunity to move to Houston, and to develop our skills and life here, and we've honestly never looked back!

We truly care about our clients as if they were family. We want them to have the best event possible, regardless of size or budget. We love getting to know our clients when developing menus and suggestions for them, and to see everything executed at the end, and to have them smiling and happy is all we can ever wish for! We will make your event a day to remember for a lifetime.
