“We offer food from all different backgrounds and have a very extensive menu,” explains Director of Marketing & Public Relations Madeline Doyle. “However, we’re not here to break the bank. We want people to be able to afford the other vendors that they need to hire for their wedding. We strive to keep an affordable price point for all our couples. “

Distinctive Catering is known for its wide range of options – from a backyard barbeque with disposable tableware to a high-end, formal wedding. They also pride themselves on creating custom menus based on unique requests. The company offers multiple menu packages, which all include their standard level of service with day-of staff and coordination. Their standard package includes disposable plates and utensils and a buffet-style meal. Additional packages include linens and either higher-quality disposable tableware or real chinaware.

Beyond menus, Distinctive Catering also offers bartending with Distinctive Bar Services. With five different bar packages, ranging from beer, wine and soda up to top-shelf liquor and exclusive cocktails, there is something for every budget. The packages are all-inclusive with staff, equipment, cups, unlimited product, and more – including constructing a custom bar for your event. Distinctive Bar Services can also be booked separately from Distinctive Catering for events that don’t need full meal services.

In addition to standard menus and drinks, Distinctive Catering offers event coordinators that assist couples at their initial appointment, throughout the planning process, with day-of coordination, and with post-event clean up. The company’s event coordinators utilize their expertise to help couples plan even the most complex events. 

Distinctive Catering also has the unique advantage of strong relationships with many local venues – as well as multiple managed venues like The Waddell Center, The Harris Building, and the Crossroads Banquet Center.

“It’s a nice benefit for couples to host their ceremony or reception at one of our venues, especially The Waddell Center,” Madeline explains. “Everything is all under one roof and couples have only one point of contact for the whole experience. Even with our other partner venues, there is a distinct advantage. We know all of the venues’ coordinators on a personal level and work closely with them to keep the experience easy and seamless for couples.” 

Distinctive Catering’s top-notch customer service, combined with their menu offerings, creates a smooth process from planning to execution on the day of your wedding. 

“I think all the weddings that we do have something unique and memorable,” Madeline says. “Everytime I visit an event, I see something new – and our team has excelled at creating those experiences. We have received more 5-star reviews this summer than ever before. I’m really proud of our whole crew.”
