    LaDonna did our rehearsal dinner and wedding food.

    LaDonna was a pleasure to work with. She is so kind and was so helpful. Her food was amazing and she was always attentive to questions and concerns. At the events, the food was amazing and everything about her catering services were flawless.

    Wonderful!

    Ladonna's catering was everything we imagined and more, Ladonna and her team are helpful, attentive and very experienced. Ladonna was even kind enough to give us tips to save us money on our wedding and she did everything she could to make sure we had everything we needed at the reception. she sent us home with a goody bag and even packed food because she knew we hardly had time to eat. This lady is wonderful and she knows what she's doing, not to mention the food was great! Highly recommend!

    Absolutely and undeniably exemplary, and amazing experience!

    LaDonna is AMAZING! From the moment I met her at the Bridal Bliss bridal show, she blew me away. Every expectation, every vision, and every detail I wanted and imagined for my wedding was exceeded beyond measure. LaDonna invited us to a tasting, essentially a demo of what our wedding catering could be, with extensive options and varieties to choose from. I highly recommend a taco bar! At our tasting everything related to our taco bar idea was prepared for us to sample and choose from, and she also provided photo albums and fabric swatches to help us land on the types of napkins and table settings we could use to make our wedding vision come to life. She was very diligent in explaining to us what she needed from us in order to effectively do her job, as well as diligent in providing details for us to think about that we would have most likely never considered or forgotten about. Her wisdom of the wedding industry is vast and full, and I am so thankful for all of the things she shared with me and helped me with throughout the wedding planning process. Our wedding planning experience took place over the course of the COVID-19 Pandemic and our wedding date was scheduled for a very iffy time period for most pandemic related decision making. We decided to proceed with almost all of our original plans, and LaDonna was on top of everything. She was very well versed on what needed to be done to ensure the safety of our guests and her staff, she was knowledgable about how to safely carry out our plans, as well as how to adjust on the fly to the new precautions that we had to consider and implement. The communication and the continued advice that she shared with me throughout the entire journey leading up to our wedding day - point blank - saved me and also my sanity. My husband and I both experienced some family illnesses and tragedies in the month before our wedding, specifically within the last two weeks. LaDonna was understanding, from the beginning to the end, of all of it. And she helped us manage every single piece of the puzzle. She frequently checked in with us to make sure we were personally okay - in which she did out of the kindness of her heart, as she was also facing difficult challenges of her own at the same time. She was understanding of the troubles we dealt with outside of wedding planning, even within the week of the wedding when communication was most crucial, and she worked her tail off to make sure our scattered brains had all of the details hammered down within a short and hectic time frame. She came to our family home and farm, which is where our wedding reception took place, and helped me map out the details that I had been forced to put off. She advised me on the most efficient way to construct the lay out of our reception, provided very useful suggestions of things I could do to ease my stress, and gave me lists of things I should double check and give attention to within specific timelines every day leading up to the day of our wedding. Every detail, from top to bottom, provided by LaDonna and her staff was exceptional, well thought out, organized, effective, and overall perfect. She was thoughtful in every approach. She was diligent in her plan of action. She was punctual and unhesitating. She provided service of the highest quality. Not only was the food itself outstanding, but the presentation and delivery was impeccable. The staff that she has chosen cannot be beat. They were tremendously helpful, on the dot, personable and kind, and conscientious. LaDonna and each one of her staff members helped execute my decoration plans and visions for the most beautiful and perfect reception tables and table settings, that I had been imagining for so long. Our wedding guests complimented and commented on the great taste of the food and the impressive variety of toppings and options, the entire reception and days following. Our wedding guests also bragged on what a great choice of caterer I made, as they explained they had never experienced service provided with such great quality, orientation and attention to detail, approaching kindness, and overall professionalism. And from my perspective, those qualities and characteristics alone explain exactly how I feel about my entire experience with LaDonna's Catering business. If you are looking for a caterer to completely and absolutely overhaul, exceed, and bring your wedding catering dreams to life, I am confident in my recommendation of LaDonna and her amazing staff. They will do all of those things to perfection. LaDonna is more than just a caterer. She is an ambitious mentor, she is a creative achiever, she is a straight forward and decisive doer, she is a generous adviser, and she is an incredibly hard worker that is distinguished at what she does. I am more than satisfied and happy with my decision to hire LaDonna's catering. And I am thankful that I chose her. Working with her was exciting and easy. I will recommend her a million times, to anyone with catering needs. Our wedding was absolutely beautiful, and perfect down to the last detail. And so much of that is owed to LaDonna and her staff. My "thank you" is not enough.

    Experienced, organized, knowledgeable, and trustworthy.

    LaDonna and her team deliver what they promise. There was plenty of good, hot food. I heard no complaints, only compliments. The table settings were beautiful. She also helped cut the cake which was a big help. She also had some great tips re: the wedding and reception planning in general.

    Using LaDonna's catering was a great experience! The food was delicious, hot, and presented beautifully! Ladonna is very professional and very helpfu!

    We would definitely use the catering service again because of the personal attention to details, excellent food, and great communication! We had a great time at the tasting party and Ladonna was very helpful as we chose the food for our daughters very important day. My son in law and daughter enjoyed choosing the foods for their special day. She offers a wide variety of food choices as well as package options!!! We felt it was very affordable and were very happy with our experience with LaDonna's Catering!!!

    Great food for rehearsal dinner!

    LaDonna’s catering did a fabulous job and more than met our expectations for our son and daughter-in-law’s rehearsal dinner. We served beef brisket (chopped and sliced) that was some of the best brisket we’ve ever had! We also had hash brown casserole, Mac n cheese and green beans. It was all wonderful! The serving sizes were generous. She provided napkins, cutlery and plates. We were so pleased with everything! Call LaDonna and let her cook for your next event! You won’t regret it!!

    Simply Amazing

    I don't even know where to begin with LaDonna's. LaDonna's was not only an amazing cook,but a friend and someone who helped make our wedding one of the best days we could've ever imagined. LaDonna and Kenny know so much and were such a blessing as we led up to the wedding. They made the catering process so simple and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and wanted. I hope and can't wait for the day that we get to have LaDonna's again! They're amazing!

    Incredible!

    LaDonna and her team were amazing from the very first time we talked to them! They made the entire process so easy and stress free and as soon as we tried the food we knew we had to choose them to cater our reception. They are extremely professional and knowledgeable and I could relax knowing they had everything covered. You won’t regret using LaDonna’s Catering for any event but especially for your wedding reception! I would give them more than 5 stars if I could!

    Amazing! Friendly! Professional!

    My cater cancelled on me 6 days before my wedding. My sister and mother frantically began calling vendors when we reached LaDonna’s Catering. She went above and beyond to help make my wedding day perfect despite such a short notice. She made sure to have plates, napkins, silverware, drinks, appetizers, and a full meal for 158 guests in 6 short days. She even assisted by lighting my candles at each time. All of the guests LOVED the food, especially the Swedish meatballs. I highly recommend LaDonna’s Catering for any event!

    Wonderful Experience

    Absolutely loved LaDonna! She not only provided our wedding with great food, but she also gave us great ideas/advice leading up to the event! She thinks of “the little things” to make the day most memorable. I also appreciated that she got my husband and I a plate first, and made us a to-go bag for that night of food and cake. Would use LaDonna’s again in the future!

    Wedding at the Livery in Lexington, KY

    Ladonna took care of everything! We did not have to worry about anything to do with the dinner on the day of the wedding. We received tons of compliments on how everything tasted. Highly recommend the cake cutting service.

    Thank you for such a wonderful review! We always try to make sure we go the extra mile for our clients. It was a pleasure serving you and we wish you the very best!
