From Scratch Catering & Event Planning

We hired From Scratch to cater our wedding in June 2023 and it was the absolute best decision. From the first email to the last plate, everything was first class. Ryan and his team met and truly exceeded every expectation. Our wedding was in early June and by the end of wedding season, all of our close friends and family agreed that our food was still the best. Our wedding was about an hour and a half away from the From Scratch normal operating area and you would never have known that they traveled with everything. There was not one single detail missed. Timing was perfect, food was delicious, the drinks flowed, and Ryan was a masterful conductor through it all. We can not thank them enough and would not hesitate to use them in the future. Simply outstanding.

The food was incredible!!!! Jeff worked with me and my specific tastes! I love food and had a particular vision! I wanted overflowing h’orderves that made a statement, so he designed a 16 foot serpentine table full of charcuterie!
I wanted cevice, and it was plated beautifully, absolutely delicious and passed around along with 3 other passed h’orderves so there was plentiful food and a constant flow!
Some specifics, I cannot personally stand food trays all about the floor, they heard my concern and we had enough servers and expediters to move the food quickly and elegantly.
They handled every special request down to my butter, in which they made it even better and more beautiful than I he imagined.
Our dinner was HOT! Imagine, at a wedding where food is often cold and tasteless! Our steak was soooo TENDER! It should not be classified as “wedding food” as that often has a bad connotation. It was hot, great quality, delicious and plated beautifully!

We had From Scratch cater our wedding last weekend and the food and service were both top notch!! We had so many guests tell us how much they enjoyed the food, and from our experience it was even better than the tasting- which was pretty incredible as well! Ryan is great to work with. He has an amazing staff that has everything handled at the blink of an eye. Highly recommend!!!

Our experience at the wedding last night was amazing!!! The food was the best that I’ve eaten in a long time!!!

I have food allergies so sometimes it’s hard to know what I can and cannot eat at events like weddings. The staff was amazing and so knowledgeable about the ingredients they were using! A wonderful lady also helped me at the end of the night by contacting her manager to make sure I could have the taco bar food! She was kind, considerate and went above and beyond for me!
Jenna did a fabulous job bartending! She was so kind, sweet and fun! She was wonderful!
I recommend this company for everyone!

I wish there were more than 5 stars! These guys were beyond amazing. We had compliments on the food all night. How often do you go to a wedding and actually like the food? Well it can actually happen! The wait staff was friendly and helpful. The bar staff was amazing! But most importantly the food was awesome and we have so very picky eaters not to mention a lot of food allergies that they accommodated. I honestly cannot sat enough, but planning a wedding and finding the right vendors can be challenging. Let me help and just say BOOK NOW and save yourself the time and stress.

Ryan and the staff were amazing! They accommodated our backyard wedding. We got multiple comments about how wonderful and friendly the staff was and how good the food was!! Multiple guests went and got seconds because the food was soooo good! Thank you again for making our dream backyard wedding everything we had hoped for and more.

We just had our daughters wedding in suttons bay Oct 7 2023. People raved that this was the best wedding food ever! So professional and service was excellent! Highly recommend the fall spectacular bar!

We hired From Scratch catering for our wedding at The Treasury. We were lucky to have to opportunity to attend 2 tastings with From Scratch, one plated and one buffet as we were planning on a family style dinner service. We never had a single bad item at either tasting. They were extremely flexible in letting us choose from both their plated and buffet menus to make a perfect family style combination for us.
The appetizers they had were creative and delicious and were honestly some of my favorite choices we made. They made sure to have plenty of apps waiting at the head table as my husband and I were busy with photos our whole cocktail hour and I was so grateful for that!
Day of the dinner service went smoothly and the staff took special attention to make sure my husband and I had time to eat between greeting guests. Everyone raved about how amazing the food was, especially the beef. Actually, the first text I received the morning after our wedding was from one of my bridesmaids who said “I will dream of that mac and cheese for the rest of my life.”
From Scratch’s close relationship with The Treasury made our day so seamless and I’m so grateful for an amazing food experience as I know food can make or break a wedding experience.

We used From Scratch for our wedding this past weekend and they absolutely hit a grand slam in every way. I'll break down all the aspects of what they did.

Initial dealings and menu - working with Ryan was a true pleasure. He was so friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. He helped us curate the alcohol and food menu. He was responsive to all our questions and even went to our venue (family cottage) to make sure he had all the logistics down.

Food- I am a foodie in every way and the food is some of the best I've had. His catering staff were on time, friendly, and made it a great experience. Every single food item from appetizers to the main courses were executed perfectly.

Bar - they supplied us with 2 of the most friendly bar tenders I've seen at a wedding. They were quick, attentive, and never wavered in their attitudes even tho it was 90+ degrees.

Overall - Everyone said this is one of the best weddings they have attended and a lot of that credit goes to From Scratch. Thank you all for helping make our wedding day perfect.

Best food 12/03/21 for my wedding. Many compliments and great vegan options. I was highly impressed! Wish I ate more because it was so good but being the bride people kept talking to me ha-ha.

I couldn't find a single flaw if I tried. We used From Scratch Catering for our wedding last weekend. They were absolutely amazing!!! The entire experience from quote to day of went so smoothly. Ryan was such a huge help and made things very easy and carefree. The staff at the wedding were so friendly and prompt. The food was out of this world too!! Highly recommend them for any of your catering needs!!!!

My husband and I used From Scratch Catering for our wedding at The Treasury in June. They were suggested by our venue manager, who we trusted so it was an easy decision! We weren't sure how the food would be since it's made in a truck at the venue, but we were BLOWN AWAY at how amazing the food was! We unfortunately did not get to try our h'orderves since we missed most of cocktail hour, but all of our guests said they were wonderful! When it came to picking our main meal, Jeff worked with us to hand select each item, and build a unique plate. We chose a duet plate for everyone, and he allowed us to pick the sauce used, how it was plated, and even hand selected our veggie option from what was fresh that week! We absolutely cleaned our plates, and so did all of our guests! We had guests telling us the night of our wedding, and even weeks after how AMAZING the food was! If you're looking for delicious, unique food that's not your "typical" wedding food, pick From Scratch! Jeff was amazing and so easy to work with, and the serving staff was so prompt, polite, and professional. Food is such a huge part of a wedding, and From Scratch exceeded our expectations!

Amazing! From Scratch will not disappoint! From the moment we started working with Jeff and Ryan we knew what we were going to get and it was one thing we were not willing to change about our wedding. The food is delicious, you can’t go wrong with any of it. There are so many tasty options and the packages are of great value, giving your guests a variety to choose from. We got so many compliments on the food! With From Scratch you’re not getting the traditional banquet food people say is so so, you’re getting gourmet, home cooked food. Not to mention the staff you are working with is awesome! They truly cater to your needs and are friendly and easy to work with. We couldn’t have gotten through the wedding planning during this time if it wasn’t for Jeff and Ryan being patient and flexible. The only thing my husband wished was that he got a stock of Mac n’ Cheese and potatoes for the next couple weeks!😆 Highly highly recommend!

From Scratch Catering served the most amazing food!! We hired them for our wedding at The Treasury and had so many complements on the food all night (especially the 3 cheese penne), but it was all so delicious! Their service was great, the food was always hot and ready on time. They got all of our guests through the buffet line so quickly and the buffet never ran out. We would highly recommend for any event!

If I could give this place more stars than 5, I would. We recently held our wedding ceremony and reception at this venue (4/22/22). There are so many amazing to be said!
We used their catering company, From Scratch Catering. The food was phenomenal and people could not stop talking about it! You will leave satisfied and not needing to stop to eat on your way home. We utilized their buffet option and everything was hot and fresh upon serving. You will not be disappointed!
All in all, if I could do my wedding again, I wouldn't change a single thing.

I used From Scratch Catering for my wedding in June, 2022. The food was INCREDIBLE and everything I could have asked for and more. They had plenty of options and were easy to work with. My family has a significant shellfish allergy and they were great about food allergies as well. We are still receiving compliments from our guests about how great the food was! I would highly recommend using this company for any big event!

We used From Scratch Catering for our wedding and we could not be happier with our decision. Everything was so delicious and we hear compliments from our guests about how delicious the food was all the time. I still think about how the food daily basis and wish I could just hire them to make me dinner. Might have to throw another event just to have them cater it.

I cannot tell you the number of people who came up to us at our wedding that said, bar none, this was the best wedding food they’d ever had. From Scratch not just delivered on exceptional flavor and options, but their service was impeccable and Ryan was incredibly accommodating of several allergies/dietary issues when menu planning. Multiple guests were asking for the caterer’s information after dinner so they could use them in the future. Highly HIGHLY recommend!!

From Scratch did a phenomenal job with our fundraising gala for the second year in a row. Our guests loved everything from sushi to sliders to shooters to ice-cream and cookies. Presentation, service and flavors were superb. We will definitely book them again for next year.

We hired From Scratch Catering for our daughter's wedding held in Harbor Beach MI. The food and service exceeded our expectations for both quality and professionalism. Ryan's great communication kept us informed of opportunities for tasting events and timelines in the months prior to the wedding. He even made a separate trip to see the location of the wedding beforehand. All of the services provided by From Scratch including the reception set up, bar, servers, and amazing food made a difference in day. Thank you, Ryan and staff
