    Wow!!! Just wow!!! We had an amazing experience with Travis and his wife, Tara, who are the power couple behind Uncommon Catering. We got married nearly 2 weeks ago and everyone is STILL raving about how amazing our food was. Food was finished being prepared on site which meant our guests got to enjoy hot and fresh food! Our family and friends continue to rave about how kind their staff is too (HUGE bonus in my eyes). The moment my husband and I walked away from our ceremony, we were greeted with drinks and our fresh hors d’oeuvres immediately. We felt so pampered! Staff seriously went above and beyond bringing food to our family and wedding party taking pictures too and at the end of the night packed up all the extra food to send home with our families. We left for our honeymoon that same night so we froze a lot of it and were able to enjoy it when we came back. It was just as good as wedding night! You will not regret choosing Uncommon! We also enjoyed their bar service at our wedding and they served our favorite Italian margaritas which was a huge hit for our guests. Working with Travis was a breeze. Great communication, easy payment methods, clear expectations and pricing. We loved being able to attend their tasting where they let us sample 39 dishes!! It was hard to narrow down but you cannot go wrong with anything they create! 1000/10, would book with them again in a heartbeat! We love you Travis and Tara!

    Great service would be an understatement. They coordinated and took care of all my needs just based off of a few meetings/messages. Their staff at the event were so great and truly added to a wonderful atmosphere. Also if you're on the fence about adding a charcuterie table, go for it because it looked incredible. Couldn't be more happy with the job they did at my wedding. Thank you for making my day even better!

    We loved working with Travis from the start and could not be happier with choosing Uncommon! We had multiple guests tell us it was the best wedding food they ever had and we agreed! Travis worked with us to customize to fit our budget and they provide unique menu items that stand out from typical catering. The food was fresh and delicious, when often catering is dry. The service was superb and professional in planning and the day of. I also highly recommend attending a tasting night if you are considering them, that is a fun and unique experience in planning! Love supporting a local family run business and appreciate the touches they put in like local bakery bread (which was amazing) and florals on their buffet tables to match your decor. They call themselves a boutique caterer and you really feel this in the experience in the best way!

    Uncommon Catering gave us the perfect experience for a perfect wedding. Their food is amazing, creative, and well-priced. We hope to find an occasion to hire them again they are so good! They were extremely polite, responsive, and kind. Their tasting allowed us to try literally dozens of dishes, letting us try, first-hand, so many possible dishes for our wedding. It enabled us to consider things we might never have had. The food tasted even better at the wedding than it did at the tasting; what you see is what you get! They were amenable to suggestions for the menu as well as offering their own creative ideas. They assembled leftovers wonderfully, giving us a ton of food to take home and enjoy afterwards. Heck, I wish we had lied and said we had more guests coming, just to go home with more of their delicious food! All of our guests have agreed that the food was amazing. They were truly flawless.
