12/10 - Hire Diane
We used Diane for our fall 202 wedding and we've been in such a state of marital bliss that we're extremely late in giving this review actually! From the get-go, Diane hustled hard for us and we knew from the moment we met her, she had our back.... she's direct, friendly, and goes out of her way to make the food special for her clients and ensured we had a smooth, stress-free experience. If anything went wrong the day of our wedding, we had no idea. Diane is SO together in fact, that she handled things that probably some of our other vendors dropped the ball on. She handled a large portion of our rentals which was so helpful.... always giving advice when asked, and gently nudging us back on course if she saw a problem arising (the rentals and the food were all included on one bill, very helpful). Much to my relief as well, she totally got a lot of our more uncommon requests for our wedding, including venue, time of day, flow of day, and style, and made it all flow seamlessly with a ton of moving parts--including orchestrating our bourbon toast (instead of champagne) and our "heirloom" family dessert table along with a small cake, which she set up for us beautifully alongside her catering setup. Now for the food.....I (the bride) am from KY, and both my husband and I really wanted to showcase some traditional KY foods, while accommodating a large variety of dietary requests, including mine--every version of an app or station we requested, she made a vegetarian version of as well as the regular. The food across the board was so delicious, and contrary to popular belief, you CAN enjoy the food at your wedding when you have Diane, because she personally made us each a plate and brought it to us. She and her staff throughout the event anticipated everything.... we were never without water, a drink, or food. One of my favorite moments of the day was in the few minutes before I walked down the aisle, I was getting sooooo nervous and Diane strolled by, took one look at me and handed me my Bride's Cocktail (a delicious Paper Plane, ty Diane's bartenders for perfecting) and said "here try it for me to be sure it's right", with a little wink. The laugh I got from that made me giggle for the rest of the day. Our guests were so impressed and loved every bite they put on their plates. She's truly Type A in the best way possible and allayed so many of this very Type A bride's fears of disaster along the way. Highly recommend Diane if you want someone who cares, and who will absolutely show up from day 1 for you and your partner to have a special, enjoyable, and stress free wedding day! Bride - Fall 2023 An intelligent, artistic, and talented caterer Diane was beyond amazing to work with. This was our first wedding to plan, I was clueless! Diane's ability to communicate a clear vision of her abilities, to help me plan everything from the place settings to the linen colors and to pull of a spectacular meal for 160 guests made for a seamless evening that our guests referred to as magical. The rain on the wedding day made for a challenge that would have dampened the spirits of most caterers, but Diane and her staff took it all in stride. I will miss working with her! Mother of the Bride - October 2019 White Glove Service from Start to Finish Diane was with us every step of the way. We had a very specific wine list and Diane worked hard coordinating with the father of the bride and distributors to get everything we wanted. Diane was in constant communication with us and left no doubt that our wedding day would be perfect. Diane and her team did a wonderful job on the day of our wedding. The food was incredible and very well plated and the staff was friendly and professional. Our guests loved the passed hors d'oeuvres during cocktail hour. Diane’s dishes are creative with the perfect mix of flare and tradition. We cannot speak highly enough of Diane and her team. It is clear Type A is one of the premiere caterers in central Kentucky. You will not be disappointed with Type A Catering! Bride - Fall 2023 FAR exceeded our expectations! Hiring Diane to cater our wedding was one of the BEST decisions we made. She was worth every single penny and offered much more than we paid for, in my opinion. During the planning process, Diane helped us make a room diagram, helped us order rentals and attended a walk through with my venue. She was always super quick to respond and super knowledgeable about pretty much every aspect of planning a wedding, even things that had nothing to do with catering. Diane also helped us pick the perfect menu taking into consideration what would work best at our venue, what would be in season at the time and classic Kentucky options we could showcase to our many out of town guests. She even prepared a few very last minute special meals for some guests with dietary restrictions. The night of, the food was INCREDIBLE. Diane greeted my husband and I with a tray of appetizers and drinks. The appetizers were very filling and SO tasty. And our dinner was even better! People often worry about having dry chicken at a wedding, but Diane ensured that our chicken was cooked to perfection. We received so many compliments on the food and we had many people tell us they ate more at our wedding than others just because it was not typical "wedding food". That's a total win in my book! We also hired Diane to take care of our bar needs for the evening. She was able to accommodate our special requests and her staff served every one very quickly. There was never a line! Her staff was amazing as well. Super professional, helpful and proactive. Diane continued to help serve me, my husband and our parents all night. We felt so spoiled and well taken care of! It's truly a testament to not only how good of a caterer Diane is, but how good of a person she is. She will take the best care of you on your wedding day!!! Bride - May 2019 |
