Would highly recommend!

Catering DSM did a fabulous job catering our wedding at the Temple for Performing Arts! Sarah is extremely professional, easy to communicate with, and has been such an amazing vendor to work with while planning a wedding during a pandemic. She really made this whole experience so much easier and was extremely flexible with our constantly changing plans. What made us appreciate Catering DSM so much more was how considerate they were of us having to transition from a 200+ people wedding to less than 30, waiving any previously established food and drink minimums. We are well aware that there are plenty of venues out there who have not been so flexible, so we are truly grateful for this.

The food was amazing, and we loved how customizable everything was. What we really appreciated was how Sarah really listened to what we liked and made adjustments to the menu to fit our personal taste, from adding truffle oil to the mac and cheese croquettes to adding lobster tail to our entrée with less than a week’s notice. We also had a Hot Toddy Bar which was super fun and unique as well! The entire process was so easy, and we felt extremely taken care-of along the way. Thank you Catering DSM for a delicious evening!

Five words - The Temple And Mallory Huff. Catering DSM was amazing - Mallory was the one who oversaw both the Temple and the Catering. She was exellent beyond mesure. Quick to reply, helpful, professional, and fun. Everyone raved about how good the food was. We had apps and drinks first followed by dinner, and then late night apps. I had a number of food restriction guests (dairy, gluten, nuts, no meat, no pork, etc) and Catering DSM was able to handle them all without any stress. We were utterly no help on picking the menu out the first time and with only a few descriptive words (classy and fun) and a couple of edits - everything came full circle. The tasting ahead of time gave us a good idea of what the night would be like and a chance for feed back. The servering professionals made the night complete. Mallory even helped me out with a bit of miscommunication on the shuttle and re-arranged the dance floor layout for us. Everything was absolutely perfect. I do not know if another manager would be as good, but I know how great this was.
