They were so pleasant to work with, really understood our budget to help us to stay within it, and most importantly, the food was PHENOMONAL! We were delighted to hear that everyone absolutely loved everything that they ate.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used Dining Innovations for our wedding last month, which had actually been delayed from 2020. We went through two catering coordinators, but both were fantastic! Very responsive, made sure we had our needs taken care of when we were in town (from Texas, so we were only there for a few days). Caroline was amazing with getting everything ready for our wedding. We had about 120 people for our wedding and the food was delicious! Our guests all said wonderful things!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We loved working with Dining Innovations - specifically Caroline. She made the process so EASY! On top of that, the food was delicious and we got so many compliments from guests on the food! We even got bartenders through them, they provided garnishes for the bar.... they can do so much and make it so easy, all while being delish!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Caroline was such a joy! She was communicative and really great to work with. The food for our wedding was outstanding. We received so many compliments on the entrees and the awesome twist on some British classics. Maggie who was part of the catering team was so attentive during cocktail hour and dinner, always making sure my husband and I were fed and well taken care of. I will definitely use them again in the future for any events that need catering.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the first email to the post-wedding congratulations, Melanie was amazing to work with! Her energy and kindness made setting up catering the easiest and most fun part of wedding planning. I loved getting emails from her. My husband and I were looking for something different than their standard menu and sent her a couple of example menus from our favorite restaurants in Oaxaca, Mexico to see if something similar would be feasible. The chef LOVED that we wanted something out of the box. He had never made mole before but he knocked it out of the park! The tasting we did with them was mind blowing. We hired them on the spot and never talked with anyone else. When our rehearsal dinner plans fell through, we reached out again and asked if they would cater that too, but this time with a Moroccan theme. We didn't get to try anything before the night of and, man, we could eat that meal every week. If you are looking for something different, they have the imagination and skill to pull it off. If you are looking for something traditional, I have no doubt they would go above and beyond to make it beautiful and exploding with flavor. I cannot speak highly enough about Dining Innovations. They exceeded our expectations TWICE and I would hire them again in a heartbeat.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was the easiest caterer that I have ever worked with. They truly care about what they do, produce and their customer. Wish I could give more than 5 stars.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ivan was such a blast to work with! We sat down for a very fun tasting with our parents and were presented with an impressive spread. Ivan was flexible with our budget. I changed the menu several times and Ivan was always quick to help me figure out what would work with my budget. And he even helped me rebook for my wedding when we had to CANCEL it 3 days beforehand due to a hurricane! He did not have to do this, but they were so understanding and helpful. I would highly recommend them due to they professionalism and creativity. 5 stars! Great food!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ivan and his team were just simply amazing. Dining Innovations was one of the recommended vendors through our package with the Inn at Tranquility Farm in Waynesville, NC. After speaking with Ivan, we scheduled a date for my daughter and her fiance, along with myself to travel to N.C. to meet Ivan at their catering location. We previously selected several things to taste ahead of our visit based on our dining package which was a budget of about 75.00 a person. We did go over that with some items and we added a full open bar. In total we spent about 4600.00 I can not express how well presented the food was and the quality and taste were amazing. The reception dinner was simply put beautiful. Ivan and his team made the process so easy and he was so much fun and helpful even at the last minute with changes to our bar. They were extremely professional and did not hesitate to help in any way requested. I hope you will consider Ivan and his team from Dining Innovations in the future for any event needed. They also provided a catered lunch up at the Inn the day of the wedding. From beginning to end, the process was a breeze.

Extremely happy with Dining Innovations! They catered our wedding reception and Welcome Party dinner, and we couldn't have been happier with the quality of service we received. Guests are still raving about the delicious the food and the menu we chose! Ivan was our saving grace as he went above and beyond his call of duty- Not only did he coordinate with our other vendors but he helped us throughout the transition from the ceremony to the reception. He was kind, genuine, and positive- a grounding force for me, my wife, and my parents. They ensured we had all of our leftovers (even delivering large portions to the Doubletree hotel where we were all staying). Ivan showed true leadership for his staff as they were all professional and efficient. If I ever need an event catered, I would hands-down choose Dining Innovations again.
