Thank you for making a special night SPECTACULAR!

Thanks to you and your team for making our rehearsal dinner such a success and a particular thank you for coming to the rescue with the linens and napkins! The food was excellent and we received many compliments from our guests. The area really needs more venues for event rental (Sabin Hall was severely lacking) but Vonderhaar’s Catering absolutely transformed a lackluster event space into a wonderful evening.

Exceptional Food and Service!

Ever try planning an event 500 miles away without meeting the caterer or event planner? I Felt like a river boat gambler. But Jan with Vonderhaar’s presented it, planned it, and the staff and crew pulled it off. Food was great, service was great. Bar service great. Vonderhaar’s Catering in coordination with Richwood on the River did an outstanding job. A clinic on how to make it happen! Both rehearsal dinner and reception were exceptional!

Vonderhaar’s Catering delivered a world class dining experience!

On behalf of Dora, myself and all those at Viva Bella, we sing your praises!!  Dora and I together, have more than 45 years in the industry, and we do know when it feels right, and when it doesn’t; you our friend made it PERFECT.  We are keeping you in our back pocket forever …. good luck with that LOL!  Seriously, we were blown away by the commitment and professionalism from the onset of our meeting preparations, all the way through execution.  You and your team not only delivered a world class dining experience that span over several hours, and for over 1,000 attendees, but you did so with excellence and you went above and beyond.  We were in awe over you and your team, you must be a great leader because your staff shows it!   There are so many behind the scenes that we want to recognize, but we can’t because every single employee was exceptional.  Please share this with your team. I almost cried watching how hard you staff worked during the event and more particularly, the clean-up.  Each of your staff worked seamlessly with one another ‘to get it done’ and they did and without complaining and with a smile on their face the entire time.

Outstanding Service and Food Quality

Vonderhaar’s catered my wedding at Cooper Creek Event Center in June 2022. What sets Vonderhaar’s apart from other caterers is outstanding service and food quality. From the moment I stepped in the venue, the team captain (Susan) approached me immediately to make sure that myself and the bridal party had access to appetizers–she even made a personal plate and brought it to the bridal suite. We had a plated meal for dinner and the food quality was a 10/10. We even had some guests tell us how great the food was! Additionally, the captain and Gina Vonderhaar made sure to introduce themselves to the bride and groom’s parents and made sure they were taken care of. Susan personally served myself and my husband and checked in with us all throughout dinner. She was professional, informative, and executed the evening seamlessly. Lastly, there was a moment when the bar had an insanely long line and Gina was flexible enough to allow one of her servers to help with the bar until the line died down (bar service was provided by the venue NOT Vonderhaar’s FYI but they were kind enough to help).

Absolutely amazing food!

Absolutely amazing food throughout the entire reception. Their team was always easy to communicate with and able to accommodate specific requests- including providing wine service with our perfectly grilled filet plated meal. Their goetta sliders and flaming donut station were also a huge hit as late night snacks. I had multiple people tell me they loved their dinner and it wasn’t like typical “wedding food” they expected. Several vendors also shared it was one of the best wedding meals they had tasted. Jan did an amazing job helping us select our menu, organize our tasting, and make changes as details were finalized. Their team was willing and able to travel to my venue in Milton, KY- about an hour from their main location in Cincinnati. If you’re looking at caterers in the Cincinnati area this is definitely who you should hire!

An absolute pleasure to work with!

Vonderhaar’s Catering was an absolute pleasure to work with. From setting up the menu for the event, to the actual on-site service, each staff member I worked with was professional and efficient. Jan in sales really helped me figure out the best plan for the night – I was a little lost in planning this part of my wedding, and she really helped tremendously with food selections and the timeline. Lori from the on-site staff was just incredible. My venue coordinator had an emergency and did not show. Lori went above and beyond her catering duties to help with table set up and even trying to figure out the room lighting. In a very stressful environment, she helped provide that peace. And the food was absolutely delicious! Everything that Vonderhaar’s made was so flavorful. It stayed pretty warm, even for a slow eater like me. I heard so many guests complimenting the food that night! I would 100% recommend them for any event, and I will definitely use them again if I need another event catered!

Vonderhaar’s was literally the best!

Vonderhaar’s was literally the best for helping me plan my wedding and catering! I was a COVID Bride and 3 months before my wedding date I had to move my destination wedding to be local instead. From day 1 Jan was extremely helpful in pulling together all the details for my big day. She was extremely quick with communication, and her quotes for prices were accurate and very reasonable. Jan brought my vision completely to life by helping find the best rentals to meet my wedding look, as well as plan a fantastic food menu. The food was great!!!! I went with their elegant dining option and my steaks were cooked to perfection, and they even let me customize them with my favorite steak seasoning. I also worked very closely with Lori, who coordinated my event the day of and helped with so many details to keep me as stress free as possible. She ran my event smoothly, expertly, and with a lovely attitude. She was so sweet and took care of me for anything I needed.

Helped transform our wedding!

We’ve always been a fan of Vonderhaar’s Catering, so there wasn’t really a question when we decided to book them for our wedding. Now that the big day is over, I am so thankful we used them. Due to the pandemic, we changed our wedding drastically into a backyard wedding and cut our guest list from over 250 guests to just under 50. They were so flexible working with us to change the menu and secure all our rentals (tent, chairs, tables, etc.). On the day of, they pampered us with delicious food and excellent service! All of our guests had nothing but great things to say about the delicious Italian buffet and wonderful service. After the ceremony and before we left for photos, I was quite hungry, so they brought out some appetizers for us to eat since we would likely miss most of the cocktail hour – and remembered which one was my favorite! And when final call for drinks was announced, they knew my husband and my drink order and brought us out one final drink so we could stay dancing with our friends and family. I would highly recommend using them in the future for any catering needs, large or small. We’ll be turning to them next year for our anniversary party/postponed reception!

My husband and I used Vonderhaar’s for our backyard wedding reception and they were absolutely AMAZING from the start of the planning process to the very end of our reception night. They were so receptive to changes big and small that we had to make because of COVID-19. We went from a guest list of 350 at a country club to a guest list of 125 in my husband’s aunt’s backyard. They were professional, prompt and flexible throughout the planning process. I was AMAZED how they executed our hand passed hors d’oeuvres and plated dinner entrees. The amount of thought and precision that went into making sure everyone had their dish in a timely manner, especially those with gluten and/or allergy restrictions, appeared effortless.

“In choosing a caterer for a wedding, it almost feels like buying a car. You feel like they will impress you with a shiny product, but when it gets to the details, they’ll stick it to ya! How disappointed we were that this was not the case with Vondehaar’s!

Cathy did a lot of research for various catering companies for our wedding and reception. We developed a short list and went shopping. The first catering company we met with was Vonderhaar’s. We met with Jan. Holy cow! This was supposed to be so difficult! It was anything but painful. We were so fortunate to have visited this company first.

Working with Jan, she was ALWAYS on top of changes with all details nailed down for contract updates. Jan responded quickly and was the main reason why we were happy to work with this company.

Then we tasted their food at our tasting session. Not only were we very impressed, but later at our wedding reception the guests had only compliments! We still (months later) have people telling us how good the food at our wedding reception was, and that it was the best they’ve had at any wedding!

Lori was the Vonderhaar’s Captain on the day of the wedding. Lori and the Vonderhaar’s staff were ultra professional, and the day ran smoothly with all details being covered.

At Vonderhaar’s the staff is extremely professional, the cooks make food above and beyond what you’d expect at a wedding reception, and the prices were very fair. Save time, pick this company for your event and enjoy your special day!”

Vonderhaar’s Catering Inc., is who you want to cater your wedding if you’re looking for delicious food and courteous staff! We had a buffet with a captains call for serving and everything went smoothly and guests were even allowed to go back for seconds which we appreciated so no food was wasted! In addition, we had some guests with severe food allergies and they were amazing in assisting us in accommodating their needs. Our guests with the food allergies told us they had never been to a wedding before where they could actually enjoy the food and how much that meant to them, which made us so happy! In addition they had amazing wait staff who went above and beyond to help us enjoy all aspects of our wedding outside of the food and drinks! Our waiter at the head table helped me bussell my dress when it came undone and I couldn’t find my sister, so sweet! Overall it was super easy to get in for tastings and to work with the staff to get exactly what we wanted. Great service and even better food! Would definitely recommend this catering company!

I cannot day enough about Kelly Simpson and Vonderhaar’s Catering services! We utilized their services for our wedding reception and the food and service they brought to the table was absolute perfection! From the day we walked in for the tasting, through cleanup, I couldn’t have asked for anything better. I was even surprised when we arrived at the reception and the staff offered to make our plates for us- this was SO helpful considering I had a clingy 3-year-old on my hip because he had missed Mommy and Daddy with all the wedding chaos leading up to the day. We had a last minute location change for our reception too and just ten days before the wedding we were able to notify them and they adjusted quickly to help ease the stress for us. We will always recommend their services!! The food was so mouth watering and appreciated after a busy day!

I had flawless service from my initiating call to ask questions about certain menu options through the day of our wedding reception when the serving staff was on point with everything! Not to mention the delicious food! We chose 3 Cincinnati-themed menus, and Jan did an awesome job of putting together a quote—asking me all the questions I hadn’t thought of. The quote was broken out in great detail, so I knew exactly what I was paying. When I didn’t know who would be in charge of releasing tables for the buffet (whether it should be the DJ or Lake Lyndsay staff), Jan said Vonderhaar staff will take care of it. They did an awesome job setting up the buffet room, setting out/filling water glasses, and cleaning up the buffet tables at the end. They even kept refilling our Donut Bar table which was purchased from a completely different vendor! When they were getting ready to leave, the head server checked in with me to let me know and to ask if I needed anything else before they left.

What a great experience! We used Vonderhaar’s for catering our wedding rehearsal dinner. They were incredibly prompt and professional in our planning conversations over the phone. Their food was very fairly priced, but I was blown away by the quality of it on the day of the rehearsal dinner. Many of the attendees went back for seconds, and the dessert bars were a hit! In addition, the service was incredible, and included set up and breakdown, as well as clearing our tables for us while we finished our meal. Highly recommend.

We really enjoyed our appetizer service. Good variety and the service was smooth, polite and professional. Our buffet presentation was excellent. They took it down quickly as requested so we could prepare the dance floor at our venue.

They are dependable. Did what they said they would do, when they said they would do it. As mother of the bride I wanted to know great food was waiting for my guests and that I didn’t need to worry about it at all. 

Our desserts were replenished seamlessly. Questions in the moment were answered quickly.

From the first call to finalizing everything after our wedding, working with Vonderhaar’s was excellent. We worked with Jan throughout the process and she was quick to respond to phone calls and emails. We were able to do a tasting to make sure we liked everything we planned on serving and Jan worked with us on customizing the sides we had for our buffet. Jan explained the day of schedule and everything went as planned.

During the reception, everything went smoothly and we received a lot of compliments on the taste of the food, as well as, the service. They went beyond what we expected and helped create a fun display for our dessert table.

We’ve heard good things about Vonderhaar’s and they didn’t let us down.

We are so happy that we had Vonderhaars cater our wedding! The bartender was great, and everyone loved the dinner! We had a pasta buffet, with salad and garlic bread. Everyone was extremely happy with the service and I would definitely recommend them to all of my friends getting married in the future!

This team was so exceptional and stepped in to help with any situation we had. They would check in with my now husband and I just to make sure we had everything that we wanted/needed all night. The bar was excellent with all of our guests and always professional. Would definitely hire these folks again.
