About

Owners Shelly Bell and Patrick Wright decided to leave their established positions at the University of Michigan to establish PrimOvations Catering. Since the company's inception in 2008, Shelly and Patrick have combined their collective experience to establish PrimOvations as one of Southeast Michigan's premier catering companies. PrimOvations is the top choice for many diverse catering needs...from in-home Bridal and Baby Showers, Graduation Celebrations and BBQ's to Wedding, Memorials, Holiday Gatherings and, of course, Football Tailgates!!!

With more than 35 years in the event industry, Shelly's concentration is in special event coordination and design. Her amazing vision, imaginative theme designs, and attention to detail is widely recognized by industry professionals. From linens to flowers to buffet design - Shelly's artistic talents are second to none.

Chef Patrick's culinary background is a perfect match to Shelly's accomplishments. As a three-time culinary competition medalist, Patrick thrives on the challenges of creating interest and excitement through imaginative menu design. With a background in an array of cuisines, Patrick truly enjoys creating innovative and exciting dishes.

Every Event we cater is overseen by Patrick & Shelly. Presentation, excellent food & great customer service is what we are known for. We can do it all if you need us to; Food, Service, Florals, Rentals, Bar Service, Entertainment & Event Design.

From Simple to Extraordinary, our goal is clear...to create an event worth applauding!

Food was amazing!

I can't say enough about PrimOvations - the food was absolutely incredible! We received many compliments on how good it was. The team was great to work with leading up to the wedding day, and helped revise our quote multiple times based on things we would think of later in the planning process. Not only did they take care of the food, but they also were our bartending service, and I have to say, it was so nice having one company to do both!

Delicious and Fantastic

Shelly and Patrick were absolutely wonderful to work with. The food was delicious and service professional and friendly. They had every detail covered and worked with us on the menu that we wanted for our wedding day. They put an amazing appetizer display out that we received rave reviews about as well as the wonderful and delicious dinner and desert table that was prepared. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend them for any event. We will be a customers for life! Thank you Shelly, Patrick and your team. Bravo’
