Incredible food and drinks. Overall professional experience

Type A Catering was incredible! Diane was very detail oriented throughout the entire process. Not only did Diane help us put our menu together, she also took care of ordering our rentals. We had a tasting, rental selection meeting, and multiple planning phone calls / emails. We had 3 food stations at our wedding - tenderloin and mashed potatoes, lasagna cupcakes, and street tacos. It was awesome having multiple food options for us and our guests! We had a stunning charcuterie spread and passed appetizers during cocktail hour. We also had 3 signature drinks. Everything was delicious and consistent from our original tasting! We received multiple compliments from our guests about the catering. Type A Catering was very accommodating of our special requests and guest's dietary needs (GF, allergies, vegan). On our wedding day, the staff was incredible too. Diane personally brought our dinner to us to ensure we could enjoy our meal together. Additionally, Type A packaged 2 meals for us to enjoy in the days following our wedding. I couldn't have been happier with Type A Catering, I highly recommend them to anyone!! Thank you Type A Catering!

White Glove Service from Start to Finish

Diane was with us every step of the way. We had a very specific wine list and Diane worked hard coordinating with the father of the bride and distributors to get everything we wanted. Diane was in constant communication with us and left no doubt that our wedding day would be perfect.

Diane and her team did a wonderful job on the day of our wedding. The food was incredible and very well plated and the staff was friendly and professional. Our guests loved the passed hors d'oeuvres during cocktail hour. Diane’s dishes are creative with the perfect mix of flare and tradition.

We cannot speak highly enough of Diane and her team. It is clear Type A is one of the premiere caterers in central Kentucky. You will not be disappointed with Type A Catering!

Diane was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She was organized, an excellent communicator, and genuine. Most importantly the food was GREAT! As a couple affected by COVID-19, Diane was so easy to work with, working through the multiple reschedules and venue restrictions with us. I cannot emphasize enough how great she was to work with. I highly recommend hiring Type A Catering!
