    Truly amazing. Book now!

    Holly was amazing from start to finish; the one thing I did not stress over was the food because this company is so put together you don’t have to worry about a thing. To add it, the food was phenomenal. We were serve separately after cocktail hour and we could not get over how tasty our food was and how amazing the staff members were. I cannot recommend them enough: 10 stars!

    Absolutely fantastic!!

    We hired happy catering for our daughter’s wedding. From the first meeting Holly and her staff made us feel so at ease. Everything is so well organized and their menus are so extensive. Holly was a huge help in creating the perfect menu with a gluten free bride in mind! The food for the wedding far exceeded our expectations. The presentation was beautiful! No need for extra arrangements or decor! And the food was delicious!! All our guests (over 300!) have raved about how amazing the food tasted.
    And during and after the event the staff from Happy never let an empty plate sit for even a moment and the clean up was just as efficient!
    They even boxed up our leftovers (which we enjoyed the next day!!).
    Overall I can’t say enough good things about Happy Catering. We have one more wedding in our future and we will definitely be hiring Happy Carering again!

    A wedding to remember

    My Wife and I had Happy Catering for our wedding and they met every need that we needed. The servers were great with our guest, the food was spectacular and the private dinner my wife and I had was fantastic. Also Holly really came through for us all the way through the process. Will definitely use again for any other events we may have in the future.

    The Happy Catering Company's reply:

    Thank you for taking time to write to us and to make us all "happy" by hearing that you, your family and guests enjoyed your wedding day. We will share this with the entire staff that worked hard to meet you expectations. Thanks again for trusting us with your wedding day.

    The Happy Catering Company Made Us Happy!

    Holly was a joy to work with during the coordinating process. She is genuine, cheerful and communicative. On the day of our wedding, the Happy Catering Company staff were lovely. They were right on top of everything and so sweet to us. We were very pleased with the food and the service and so glad that we had them cater our big day. Such a smooth, seamless process and easily one of our favorite vendors.

    Great experience

    We loved working with Happy Catering. From our first interaction through the end of the wedding, it was a great experience. Holly was easy to work with and always very helpful and quick to respond. We received lots of compliments on the food and the way it was displayed. The service during the wedding was excellent. The staff was smiling, personable and helpful. They will be our first call for any future catering needs. Highly recommend.

    Amazing experience! Book them!

    So easy so helpful everything was beautiful and delicious and guests RAVED. And I barely even realized anything had happened they were so efficient. They came and set up during pictures, they fed us a private dinner, then they cleaned up and handed us the leftovers in containers at the end of the night. What more could you want?!

    Still eating leftovers

    Holly at Happy Catering Co. was helpful during the whole process. We were able to do a tasting easily and decide on what we wanted on our menu. They provided us a plate of food after the ceremony and provided us with a go plate after the reception was over. They also let us have the leftovers, which we are still eating. I highly recommend them as our guests loved the food and no one went hungry!

    Happy with Happy

    I knew for our wedding I wanted people to leave saying how great the band was and how great the food was! Happy helped us do just that. Holly helped my brunch theme come to life with the best pancake bar that is still being talked about. Not only was all the food delicious but the process was simple and Holly was always prompt with responses. They also helped with all of our bar services so it was nice to have a one stop shop for all food and drink. I would highly recommend Happy to any of my friends!

    The Happy Catering Company's reply:

    Thank you so much, Kelsey! It was a joy to work with you! We appreciate you so much! Congratulations again!
    - Holly

    10 Stars! Would recommend to anyone!

    10 stars! Happy Catering did a phenomenal job catering our wedding. I had the opportunity to work with Holly, and she was amazing. She was very kind and accommodating and went above and beyond to help us customize our menu. All of our guests were raving over how delicious the food was, from the hors d'oeuvres to the dinner to the cocktails. I would recommend them to anyone.

    Happy with Happy Catering

    We highly recommend The Happy Catering Company, Birmingham, AL! They were so easy to work with and I had a lot of questions which they answered with ease and in a timely manner. The food was delicious, and the bar was seamless throughout the night. I would advise you to listen to the coordinator you work with as they truly know how to plan for the number of guests you have. Great food! Great caterer! Great food displays! We would use them again!

    Great food and easy to work with

    Happy Catering was perfect for our brunch wedding!! The food was great and at a reasonable price. Food was still warm as guests got it to eat and we have heard compliments from multiple people about how good it was. Holly was fantastic to work with and made being an out of state couple easy. Would highly recommend Happy for any wedding!

    Yes, Fajitas for a wedding :-)

    The fajita bar for my daughters wedding was enjoyed by all. The beef and chicken were favorably seasoned and the topping were displayed in the perfect fashion . We had many guest comment on how good the food was. The bar setup and cake cutting went on without a hitch. We couldn't be happier with the service and the delicious food. Thank you Happy Catering!

    Our guests raved about the food!

    One of the pre-wedding jitters I experienced was wondering, "is our food going to be good". Well that fear was completely squashed when we had multiple guests come up to us raving about the food at the reception! Holly was so easy to work with throughout the planning process and she offered us so many options to accommodate for my gluten free diet and she didn't skip a beat when I requested a s'mores bar for the reception. Happy Catering was completely reliable on our wedding day and their service was excellent -- and the food was delicious! I would 100% recommend Happy Catering for any event!

    Excellent service

    We chose Happy Catering for our sons Rehearsal Dinner and Wedding Reception. The food was delicious, the honey glazed carrots a fan favorite! The beef tenderloin, out of this world. We had so many compliments both nights on the food and even had a friend call and ask us exactly what something was, they wanted to recreate at home. Holly was very sweet and patient working with us as we postponed due to the pandemic last year. Mrs. Josolyn kept everything rolling both nights from setup to clean up and everything in between she was on top of it all. She was such a great asset both nights. I’m so glad we chose Happy Catering everything was exactly perfect.

    The Happy Catering Company's reply:

    Thank you so much, Courtney!! We were so honored to be a part of both special events with you and your family! Thank you for trusting us! :)
