We are continually impressed with Dream Events & Catering for our corporate events.  From the beginning to the end, the service, food and presentation are top notch and there is creativity used in the details.  This is what sets you apart…and trust me when I say it doesn’t go unnoticed.  You always do an impeccable job, are so easy to work with and we will continue doing so in the future.  Thank you for helping make my job easier!

Dream Events & Catering provided the best food I have every had at a reception. The salmon was done perfectly, the chipotle chicken was delicious, the roasted vegetables were firm and not wilted at all and the smoked gouda mac and cheese drew raves from everyone. I definitely recommend them to anyone and everyone.

We have used Dream Events & Catering on multiple occasions, from corporate working lunches of 20 to feeding 600 hungry men and women that work in barge manufacturing. Kitti has been awesome in helping with menu selection that fit the occasion and group of people being fed.  I can say that all have had nothing but good to say about the quality of food they were served and were always asking if Dream would be serving our next meal. I would recommend them to anyone for any occasion.

We never even got a chance to taste test the food before our wedding but it didn’t matter! All my wedding guests RAVED about how absolutely delicious the food was – they’re still talking about it to this day! A Dream Come True was extremely professional and organized and they made planning the food and drink part of the reception easy and enjoyable. Thank you so much for everything!!!

Dream really helped bring our culinary vision to life! They worked with us on our budget to get the most for our money. I’ve been to weddings where there’s barely enough food.. but that was never a problem for us! There was so much food!! And AMAZING food! Absolutely Amazing! I just can’t say enough good things about them!
