Pizza Truck at Harkness is possible!

We reached out to the approved caterers on the list and told them we wanted a pizza truck. Four of the five caterers said it's not possible but Ivy said, "let me see how I can make this work!" And that she did! We weren't able to go out to the truck, but they brought it to us and displayed it beautifully. Just as Ivy promised it wasn't just put on the table. I will admit I was very apprehensive about the price for "pizza" but Ivy's kept impressing us with each detail. They handled all the details from floor plan to timeline and so much more. Knowing what I know now, it's Ivy's all the way!

Taking all the stress off our shoulders

Planning our wedding from California was a bit of an undertaking. Ivy and her team were right there with all the details and answers. Although we weren't able to try the food until the month before our wedding, we felt confident form early on we made the right decision. The week of the weather looked really bad and Sophia walked us through our options and what would work to ensure our vision was perfect. Guess what, perfect weather but they stepped up once again to make us comfortable. Yes, the food was amazing, plentiful and presented beautifully, but we expected that from our caterer. It truly was all the other details that made Ivy's Simply Homemade, in our opinion, the best! Thank you Ivy, Sophia and Robin for being amazing!

Catered our wedding

OH MY GOD! Everything about Ivy & her team were amazing. Thank you isn't enough for what they have done. We made some requests to make our wedding run smoothly & exceeded our expectations. Ivy, Mary & Robin y'all are the real MVP's. Our guests STILL talk about how great the food was. Everything went exactly how we imagined. Also being the bride & groom we DID in fact eat. Amazing Service, HIGHLY recommend!
