Above & Beyond Catering and Events

I am so thrilled with Above & Beyond Catering! The food, the service, the linens - the staff especially Dave were all amazing!!!! I am so happy that we selected them on our special day!!!

They were very much in control, to the point that it was overbearing

They were amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! Any little questions or requests were no problem for them! The food was good and they had a great staff! Our ceremony site was grogous and the reception hall looked great! I would recommend them to anyone!

Without a doubt, one of the best decisions throughout our planning process. Above & Beyond provided wonderful service, and GREAT food and beverages!

The food was totally awesome! All of the guest loved the food and had positive comments about it.

We rented the Garden Tent for our reception - the tent is beautiful and is overlooking the golf course. Again, even though the food was amazing during our tasting, I was worried, as we have all had wedding food and I have had some pretty awful wedding food! But not the case here - on our wedding night, it was just as good as when we had our tasting. The chicken was super moist, the beef was super tender and all of our sides were delicious! All of our guests commented on how amazing the food was all night and that made us really happy, because the food was a huge part of what we found important!

I hired Above & Beyond to cater our wedding on June 6, 2010 in Holland, Michigan.We had met with Dave Hoogterp three times before the event, and each time he showed up unprepared with little explaination. (Example, he didn't have the wedding menu selection, the tasting didn't go as planned due to the fact that he couldn't warm any of it up for us to try) Furthermore, we had a tiny wedding (of about 50 or so people) and Above & Beyond ran out of alcohol!! They really seemed unprofessional and satisfactory at best with service. Lastly, the food at the wedding was mediocre. Overall I was unsatisfied, I had hoped the food/drink portion of the evening would go very well due to the small crowd, but I was disappointed with the level of professionalisim and service. Our guests had to be turned down for their first and second beverage selections. Think twice before hiring them, I had gone on previous testimonials saying they had award-winning service. Brides--Wedding planning is stressful, find yourself a reliable catering service!!

The food was amazing but the portion size could have been bigger. I had a tough time getting phone or email responses at one point but they eventually contacted me. All their staff were very profressional and very friendly. I had many complimated on the appetizers, salad and main corse.

We used Above and Beyond as our luncheon/reception venue after our noon ceremony.Overall, the staff was very friendly and accommodating. The food we chose was outstanding, many of our guests went back for a second helping! Our son in law needs gluten free food, and the chef prepared a special meal for him! We were very pleased with the cost, incredibly reasonable. We would most definitely recommend Above and Beyond!

Above & Beyond catered my rehearsal dinner at their venue "The Willow Room". The food was delicious, and the service was wonderful. They set up everything perfectly, and the staff, before and during the event, was a pleasure to work with. Thanks for making our dinner so great!

Thank you for a perfect reception. Even though you had to come 83 miles to serve all of us, everything was great....the food (and plates) were hot, the service was prompt and friendly, the staff was helpful and responsive to all our needs, and you accommodated the bride and groom's request to serve family style. The food was delicious and we got many compliments on the meal. The whole staff was friendly and helpful, friendly and kind. Thank you for all your work to make the evening one to remember.

I received so many compliments on the site at the Butternut Event Centre, both in appearance, food and service. Many guests commented on how attentive the staff were to their needs. They also raved about the food, which was flavorful and well-prepared. The staff was supremely helpful during our preparations and for our rehearsal. I would absolutely recommend both the venue (as well as the one in Muskegon) and the catering (the staff caters many West Michigan venues).

Excuse my cliche, but Above & Beyond really did go above and beyond to make sure that our wedding was everything we wanted and more. First of all, the food was WONDERFUL! They had a tasting for us, and that was great to be able to get a sample of what the food was going to be like. Their menu is extensive and offers many different options - both foodwise and pricewise. We did the buffet with 1 entree and we received so many compliments on the food! The wedding coordinator was also extremely helpful. He answered our emails and phone calls VERY quickly, and it was obvious that he had worked with many brides before because he had answers to all of our questions and made accomodations for everything!! We had both our ceremony on the golf course and then our reception inside the main lodge and both were beautiful and everything that I could have ever dreamed of. A perfect venue and a great company to work with!! Also a great price for rental.

We had our wedding reception here. They were very flexible and the food/service was excellent! We loved having our wedding reception here.

Great catering company. They took care of everything!

The food we chose was excellent and we had many compliments on it. We were able to attend a large tasting event where we got to try all the food they can provide - and through that chose the food for our wedding reception. Quality and presentation were excellent, as well as the professionalism of the staff.

Their Food was GREAT!! I'm still hearing guests say how awesome the food was.

The place was beautiful, and the food was excellent. People are still talking about how nice the reception was.

They did a great job with the food, however they brought alot more with them than we had ordered and they just threw it all away in the trash cans right outside the reception area which upset me and my guests a little bit.
