We worked with Be Creative Catering for our wedding and I couldn't be happier with them! From start to finish Travis was superb! The food was amazing and we got so many compliments from guests! I feel like wedding food can sometimes be a gamble but Be Creative has good, quality ingredients, and amazing flavor! It was literally hard to decide on what we wanted served because it was all SO good. Travis had a lot of great recommendations and his experience as a caterer and someone who works in the wedding community shows.

After the wedding was over the entire wedding party went in the kitchens and filled up on leftovers and its one of my favorite, simple memories of my wedding. Forks out, surrounded by friends, eating great food. I highly recommend them!

We had our wedding reception catered by Be Creative Catering and couldn't have been more pleased. The food was delicious. We received many compliments from our guests, too. The wait staff and bartenders were also fantastic. We highly recommend this company!

We hired "Be Creative" for our daughters wedding this January 2019. The food, service, timing and servers were absolutely top notch! The dinnerwear and quality of food is the best of all the caterers we did taste tests with. You can't go wrong using them. We will definitely use them again.
