5 Best Wedding Caterers in Dallas That Even Picky Guests Will Love

  • Expertise: We chose wedding caterers who have years of experience handling everything, from intimate backyard vows to grand ballroom blowouts.
  • Menu Quality: We picked caterers whose food doesn’t just look pretty—it tastes even better. These companies offer bold flavors, melt-in-your-mouth dishes, and creative, Insta-worthy bites.
  • Customization: We highlighted caterers who aren’t one-trick ponies. They let you tailor menus to your tastes, dietary needs, and wedding vibe, not just force you into a set package.
  • Value for Money: We favored caterers who offer clear pricing, flexible packages, and delicious menus that feel premium without draining your wedding fund.

I’ve attended my fair share of weddings, but there’s one that I’ll always remember. 

It’s weird because it’s not like it was the best wedding reception I’ve attended. In fact, the DJ was a bit cringey, the speeches were long and boring, and the playlist was meh.

But the food? Glorious. I’ve had smoked brisket mac and cheese croquettes, top-notch shrimp and grits, and even fancy tacos trios! 

That’s why wedding catering shouldn’t be an afterthought; sometimes, it can even rescue a subpar reception. So, for a memorable do, here’s a list of the top wedding caterers in Dallas—because you (and your guests) deserve it.

Catered Roots was founded by two sisters (plus a husband), a trio who know how to turn a meal into a memory.

Sure, they may not have the decades-long track record of other caterers (having just opened in 2020). But their services have already been featured in major platforms like Wed Society, The Knot, Wedding Wire, and more.

If you want zero stress on your big day, they offer a full-service package, which includes delivery, set-up, servers, and even next-day cleanup. Extras like white china, silverware, stemless glassware, and black or ivory napkins are included as well. 

But what really matters is the food, and we love that customers have been raving about their offerings! From plated dinners and buffets to chef stations and small bites, they’ll create a scrumptious menu that suits your theme and taste.

Now, if you don’t need the whole shebang, no worries! They also offer options like food-only, grazing tables, beverage-only, and pared-down packages.

Pros

  • Has been featured on major platforms
  • Full-service wedding catering package
  • Customizable serving style & menu
  • Wide range of catering options

Cons

  • Comparatively newer on the scene

Got so many compliments about the food at our wedding

“Catered Roots catered my wedding in 2022, and I absolutely loved them! They did an amazing job with the food and service! We got so many compliments about the food at our wedding, even many months after the fact! They were very sweet during my tasting, too, when I had to do it alone since my husband was currently living in another state. Everything was amazing, and I would definitely 10/10 recommend working with them. If I ever need catering in the area again, I will most certainly be reaching out to them in the future!” — Victoria Martinez, Google Review

They are the BEST! Food Quality, staff, and people!

Vestals Catering is also worth a look, with over 17 years of experience in the industry.

Their planning process starts by sharing the basics—guest counts, date, location, theme, etc. Then, within one business day, someone will reach out to get a deeper feel for your vision and goals.

Afterward, they’ll send a custom quote based on your exact catering needs.

We like the fact that they’ll work with you to shape the whole food experience, top to bottom. This means they’re not just showing up with trays of food—they’re helping you design actual moments.

No wonder luxury brands like Rolex, Dior, Ralph Lauren, and Deloitte trust them for their events, too.

With that said, we heard about slow or slightly chaotic service. This might be worth discussing during the planning phase of your special day.

Pros

  • Over 17 years of experience
  • Will discuss the basics first
  • Sends a custom quote
  • Curates the food experience with you
  • Trusted by luxury brands

Cons

  • Reports of slow and messy service

We got the most compliments on our FOOD!!

“We worked with Vestals for our wedding a few weeks ago, and the thing we got the most compliments on was our FOOD!! Vestals did such an amazing job with everything from the cocktail hour, the dinner, to dessert, and even the late-night snacks. We served everything family style, and it just made the event feel like a big family dinner. I’m so glad that we worked with them. The food never misses!” — Mya Scott, Google Review

Said to be the best wedding food they ever had

“Vestals catered our wedding, and the food was above and beyond amazing! We got so many compliments from our friends and family that it was the best wedding food they ever had. We had a vision for a family-style meal with everyone passing around the food to each other at each table, and they nailed it!” — Kevin E, Google Review

Since 1992, Wendy Krispin Caterer has served tasty fare at thousands of weddings and other special events. They even worked with big names like Neiman Marcus, H&M, and American Airlines.

Full-service catering is their forte, which starts with a custom specialty cocktail for your big day, as well as hors d’oeuvres passed on silver trays. And the menu is customizable, in case you have a theme in mind.

As for the setup, you can choose from a range of pricing tiers and serving styles—dinner, buffet, chef stations, you name it.

Plus, Wendy is a proud member of the North Texas GLBT Chamber of Commerce. By understanding the nuances of same-sex marriage planning, her team has been a go-to caterer for gay couples.

However, we heard that their prices do not always match their food quality. If you don’t want a hit-or-miss, maybe have someone check in with the chef on the day of.

Pros

  • Over 25 years of experience
  • Worked with big names
  • Offers full-service catering
  • Range of pricing tiers & styles
  • Go-to for gay weddings

Cons

  • Reports of overpriced, subpar food

Amazing food and service

“Amazing food and service, all with an extremely professional staff. Wendy catered my wedding, and her company did a phenomenal job. They arrived early at our venue (which was pretty far outside of Dallas itself) so that everything was ready to go for our cocktail hour. While the bridal party was busy taking pictures, Wendy easily coordinated with our planner to have hors d’oeuvres and cocktails brought out to us. All of our guests were impressed with the speed and professionalism of the bartenders that Wendy provided, and there wasn’t one time during the whole night that I noticed a line at the bar. The dinner itself was fabulous, and Wendy again exceeded expectations by working with our planner to make sure that my wife and I each got a full plate with every item on our menu. Later in the night, everyone loved the breakfast burritos they made for us to refuel for the dance floor. Finally, Wendy’s staff cleaned out well before the venue required our vendors to be off the property. Overall, I would have no qualms recommending Wendy’s food or service for any event in the DFW area.” — Joshua Parisi, Google Review

The food is five-star

“Wendy Krispin Caterer created and executed a fabulous wedding for us, it was like a dream! They completely transformed our wedding venue space, bringing in everything from chairs, tables, and tablecloths to colored glasses and cloth napkins. Wendy Krispin had personalized napkins and cups for our wedding with our initials and wedding date–they were beautiful and unique!! The food is five-star, and the staff and service are phenomenal. I would recommend her business to everyone!” — Kaidyn Hughes, Google Review

CN Catering has been handling all types of events, from intimate dinner parties to full-blown weddings, since 2002. The company also has tie-ups with several venues (featured on their website), so you’d be spoiled for choice.

Executive Chef Pooya Habibi leads the team. He believes that we eat with our eyes first, so his goal is to tailor a menu that’s as visually stunning as it is delicious.

His company doesn’t stop at food either. They offer a ton of fun wedding add-ons like confetti showers, champagne towers, photo booths, and even a popcorn machine. 

Just keep in mind that we heard former clients complain about certain extras not being delivered as promised.

As for aesthetics, you can also take control over several table setting details, from glass chargers and porcelain to linens and glassware.

  • Over 20 years of experience
  • Has tie-ups with several venues
  • Offers a tailored menu
  • Has a ton of wedding add-ons

Got many compliments throughout our wedding

“We went with CN for our linens, tableware, and food, and got many compliments throughout our wedding. The food was delicious. Prior to deciding to work with them, we had a private tasting and also went to the group tasting (which is a great way to see how they run an event).” — Victoria Lien, Google Review

CN Catering is THE BEST!!

“CN Catering is THE BEST!! Not just their delicious and fabulous food, but their team, customer service, and organized pre-planning staff! They were an absolute JOY to work with this past weekend for a big wedding. I worked with Madison, Brooke, and Brennan, and each of them was fabulous and worked to make Sheila & Kushal’s wedding day flawless. I appreciated their quick responses during the pre-plan and onsite during the day of the wedding. Their staff was professional, kind, proactive, and did everything they could for the guests and the vendor planning team. Thank you, CN Catering, and looking forward to working with you again in the near future!” — Heather Coday, Google Review

KCI Hospitality’s tagline says it all: The Easy-to-Work-With Caterers. For over 20 years, their mission has been to pour their heart and soul into every dish.

We love their Signature “Stress-Free” Package, where all you and your guests need to do is show up. It includes uniformed staff, plus ceramic place settings, glass goblets, cloth napkins, buffet stations, a drink bar, and even a free coffee station!

But it’s fine if you don’t want a preset package. Their chefs can build custom menus based on your preference, using fresh ingredients (and local Dallas flavors).

And man, we’re impressed with the number of awards they have. From Wedding Wire’s Couple’s Choice awards to The Knot’s Best of Weddings Awards, they seem to be the belle of the wedding catering ball.

Of course, premium services come with a premium price tag. But hey, you only get married once, right? 

Pros

  • Over 20 years of experience
  • Signature “Stress-Free” Package
  • Can create custom menus
  • Won several industry awards

Cons

  •   A tad pricey

True partner in your wedding reception success

“If you are looking for a true partner in your wedding reception success, don’t hesitate to hire KCI! They were so respectful and on time. The food was AMAZING, with so many accolades from our guests. Not only did they meet our most hopeful expectations, but their staff arrived with a smile and served our guests with the BEST attitude! We consider Jordan an MVP. We will use KCI anytime we can. This company truly cares. The search is over!” — Kevin Martin, Google Review

We’re still getting compliments weeks later!

“We absolutely loved working with KCI Hospitality for our wedding! From the passed appetizers to the late-night snacks, every bite was incredible. Our guests raved about the filet mignon and the creamy five-cheese mac & cheese — we’re still getting compliments weeks later! We opted for a plated meal, and everything went seamlessly. The team’s charisma and energy made the dinner service feel warm and celebratory. The appetizers — pork belly and shrimp ceviche — were flavorful and beautifully presented. For the main course, the Surf & Turf (perfectly cooked filet + salmon) paired with mac & cheese and sautéed veggies was a hit. We also loved the personal touches with our late-night snacks — warm pretzels (cinnamon sugar and jalapeño cheddar!) and brown butter chocolate chip cookies in custom packaging. It was the perfect sweet (and savory) send-off. Highly recommend to any couple looking for amazing food, top-tier service, and affordable pricing with great promotions. They truly made our wedding night unforgettable!” — KIMMY CHANG, Google Review
