From Scratch Catering & Event Planning

We booked our venue at the Treasury and From Scratch Catering is who we chose to use, through the Treasury. It was a seamless, easy process and Jeff and his team made some incredible food. We chose to go with a strolling dinner, which we would highly recommend. It was interactive, and allowed us to have multiple different kind of styles of food. The display was amazing, and more importantly, we received so many compliments from our guests about how good the food was! Staff was plentiful in helping keep food filled and helping to serve to keep the flow going through the stations.

Highly recommend the BBQ pork sliders, macaroni bar and taco truck :) More...

We hired From Scratch to cater for our rural outdoor wedding. We lived 8 hours from our caterer and wedding venue but reading the reviews and seeing the pictures, I knew they would not disappoint. Our parents did the taste testing and confirmed that the food was delicious. Jeff contacted us several times to confirm the details of our menu and was always very patient and accommodating. They arrived on time and had very friendly staff. Everyone at our wedding said how great the food was. I felt it was the best meal Ive had at a wedding, ever! Would absolutely recommend this company for any catered event! More...

I was so thankful to find a company willing to cater my outdoor wedding in a somewhat rural and secluded location. Not only did they travel to provide food for my wedding, but the quality was top knotch. I have never been to another wedding that had food this good. All of our guests commented on how great it was. Would absolutely recommend this company to anyone needing a catered event. More...

From Scratch Catering is one of my three preferred caterers that cater within my banquet facility. They service about 95% of my weddings and are nothing less than fabulous. Jeff is a third generation caterer that is wonderful to work with, he makes the planning process fun and exciting for all of my bride and grooms. He bases his business on being “customizable” which allows my clients to have a unique experience based on their vision. From Scratch Catering also has a very professional staff that is on top of their service. I truly enjoy working with their Operations Manager Ryan and their two kitchen managers Jordan and Cailin. They contribute to the success of the overall operation and are very talented. Overall, I highly recommend this caterer for any type of function, whether it’s a wedding, corporate event or fundraiser. They will deliver a memorable experience for all. More...

The food is Amazing. I traveled to Michigan for my niece's wedding and *Frome Scratch* catered it. Not only is the food spectacular but everyone that works there is fabulous. Cailin and Alahna did a fantastic job with cutting the roast to serving drinks. The tableware was displayed in a manner that was that of a military ball, perfect. I would highly recommend *From Scratch* to anyone looking for a catering service. If I come back to MI, they will be the only ones I call for an event. : ) More...

Jeff and his staff provided delicious appetizers and dinner for our son’s wedding reception. Jeff was very easy to work with, and his communication was quick and informative. Our venue did not have a liquor license, so being able to also get bar service through From Scratch made things so much easier for us. The only unfortunate thing that happened was that we ran out of prime rib. I’m sure the fact that it was so delicious contributed to that happening. We received many compliments on the food, including one from a family member who said it was the best wedding food he’s ever had. I highly recommend From Scratch Catering & Event Planning! More...

The team at From Scratch are unbelievable. They make the most delicious food and everything is fresh, locally sourced, and did I mention delicious. We had so many rave reviews from our wedding guests about how great it all was. The management team was very personable, easy to reach with questions, and well organized. They arrived on time, and it was an easy and relaxed affair. Thank you so much for heightening the experience of our day!!! More...

Held a couples shower for our nephew and fiance there this past weekend. Absolutely fantastic! If the wholesome, natural, local sourcing of food was not enough to deserve admiration, the preparation and presentation were absolutely outstanding.

I cannot say enough about the food and service of Jeff and his staff this past weekend at my son’s wedding reception. I do have to admit that I was a little apprehensive because this reception was up in Petoskey which is 3 hours away from where they prepare the food. My thoughts of how fresh, hot or soggy will it be when it has to be prepared so long before the meal time. Jeff had assured us during the planning stages that with his equipment it would not be an issue but I still wondered. The food was amazing and tasted like it just came out of the oven. So many of the guests commented on how good everything tasted and also could not believe it when I told them the caterer was from Saginaw. From attending tastings to selecting a menu and a few special requests from us Jeff was very open and accommodating. Thank you for the part you had in making their special day a huge success!!!

If we could give From Scratch a higher rating we definitely would! We got engaged in July of 2017 and married in November of 2017. Rather than rushing, which would seem like the thing to do to get someone booked on short notice, we slowed down and took the time to sit down with different caterers. We sat down with From Scratch in September and did a tasting in October. The food was PHENOMENAL!! We took a menu home and planned our meal. From Scratch did an amazing job working around obstacles and timing issues the day of the wedding and were extremely professional. Everyone at our wedding LOVED the food, and that may be an understatement. This is an incredible caterer and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caterer for any event! More...

I originally grew up in Michigan but have lived out of state for the past 6 years. When my husband and I decided to have our wedding in Michigan, to better accommodate our families, I knew that planning everything was going to be a challenge since I would have no taste testings, no face-to-face meetings, and limited communication with the vendor I would book with. I had never heard of any of the companies I began to search, and all of them had the same type of short reviews. While great reviews help, "Excellent", "Very good food", and "Great place to cater from", cannot give you an honest sense of security and trust from a company. From Scratch Catering was the first company I called, and they were so informative that I booked them immediately and never looked elsewhere. They answered every question, no matter how many e-mails I sent, and provided detail after detail of what to expect from them. Their menu was vast and their selections covered the entire spectrum of simple to elegant. I told them the direction and feel that I wished to accomplish from my reception and let them guide my choices to achieve that; it couldn't have turned out more perfect. People still rave about the stuffed chicken, the assorted cucumber hors d oeuvres were devoured, and our only regret was that we couldn't try every item on their menu; it was THAT good! However; as good as their food was, it was their service which they provided on the most important day of my life that really shone through. I am quite convinced that any catering company could provide good food, but I doubt that any other choice on our part would have provided From Scratch's amount of class and professionalism during the event. Everything was beautifully laid out, and the staff ensured the proper flow and assistance with every. single. guest. There is not enough room in this review to be able to express how highly I regard From Scratch Catering. Simply put, you will NOT find a better catering company. More...

Jeff was so great to work with - he has fantastic ideas and is so friendly. The food was absolutely delicious (we got so many compliments)! From Scratch catered my bridal shower and our wedding reception and my husband is already planning future events to have them cater! Their wedding package seriously cannot be beat in price or value. The service from the staff at our reception was phenomenal and we did not expect to be treated like such royalty - they carried the wedding party's plates back to the table for us! It was fantastic! My only suggestion would be to have an office manager. From Scratch is so deservedly popular that I know Jeff has his hands full, but we missed out having a tasting because we hadn't liked them on Facebook. An office manager would be able to follow up with interested parties directly. More...

We received so many compliments on the food from our wedding. From Scratch did a phenomenal job and the food was fantastic. We also used them for the full bar service.

Jeff was extremely accommodating through the entire process and was easy to work with. We will be using them for every catering need in the future. More...

From Scratch Catering was recommended to us by a friend- we hired them for our wedding (for about 200 guests). Prior to the wedding they were friendly, professional, and available for any of our questions. Jeff has been in the catering business for a long time and was able to help us plan for many details we wouldn't have thought of on our own. His experience definitely shines through in his work. Jeff and his team provided us with an awesome tasting, from which we chose the majority of our wedding menu. On the wedding day they were discreet but helpful to our guests. They took care of all food-related tasks, we didn't have to worry about a thing. We got so many compliments from our guests about how amazing the food was. Our wedding was outdoors and they kept the food hot for the entire dinner. The food was flavorful and exactly as we had tasted a few months prior to our wedding. We would hire this wonderful company again for any large event. So grateful for their service on our special day! More...
