They were great!

Wow! Dot's was a fantastic catering choice for my wedding and I couldn't be happier with their service, value, and quality.

TLDR; Dot's catered breakfast for dinner for my 90-person wedding. They were the best vendor experience we had on the day of our wedding. I am so pleased with them and can't say thanks enough!

Customer service:
I booked catering services for 75 guests with Latrice. Breakfast for dinner held a sentimental spot in my and my husband's heart and knew it was the must-have for our wedding meal. Latrice was great at coordinating menu options, questions about services and pricing, and logistics. She gave me a lot of confidence in the service going into the big day.

Value:
Could not believe the value and quality of our catering services. Diverse menu options, amazing food, friendly staff, a beautiful set up, excellent service, and just all around wonderful. There is no doubt that you'll get a bang for your buck.

Food:
THE BEST PART! The food was amazing. Our guests were OBSESSED. We served chicken and waffles with breakfast sides. A friend rushed up to our table at the reception and said "I forgot syrup and didn't even realize it because the waffles were so good". We had several people comment on how good the meal was. For how many times I've been told, "I don't even remember what I ate at my wedding", I know that won't be the case for me. The food was a memorable and an important part of our day and Dot's helped make it special.

Day of service:
Really great service from all the staff. My coordinator had great things to say about working with the Dot's team. Set up with swift and seamless. Staff was really kind and friendly with our bartenders and guests.

I got nothing but compliments from my guests about the food!! Amazing food and great service, book with them!!

I had a tasting with Dots catering and booked a pasta buffet style set up for my wedding on 11/03 at springs wallisville for 160 guests. They were attentive to any questions I had and provided me with great service. I had nothing but compliments on their food after the wedding and people were basically fighting to try and get plates to go (I allowed guests to take plates if there was left over)😂 anyways highly recommend!!

Amazing and wonderful

The food was truly excellent and went above and beyond my expectations. Ms Latrice and her entire staff went to great lengths to make sure that everything was prepared for my special day and I truly appreciate everything that they did. I would definitely recommend them to other couples.

Owner

Our Matriarch, Dorothy Mae Harris (April 24, 1931 - February 15, 2012), was the cook of the family. Everyone knew her as Big Mama or Mrs. Dot. The memories of laughter and lots of fun at Sunday dinners around the dining room table, still flash in our memory like yesterday. It didn't matter who came to dinner unexpectedly, the food she prepared always stretched to serve everyone a good home cooked meal. There was always something sweet for everyone to enjoy, and everything was always prepared with Love!!

Today, we continue her legacy with.... Dot's Catering!! Our slogan is "Food for the Soul, prepared with Love"!! She taught us the power of serving with Love, for that's where our Blessings come from.
