She frequently reached out to us to help us with our menu and provide suggestions. She and her staff provided top-class service throughout the process and we could tell that she really cared about our wedding experience. Lucia was in our corner from the day we booked her and was a tremendous help with planning a wedding during a pandemic. Her expertise and high caliber of cooking took so much stress off of us as we prepared for our wedding. Now onto the food. What can I say? The food was absolutely phenomenal and full of flavor. Lucia worked with us to build a customized menu, from the ground up, that was unique to us. From our first tasting my wife and I were stoked about the food and couldn't wait for dinner. Needless to say, our guests are still raving about the food. My wife and I highly recommend An Affair to Remember Catering.

Hands down the best catering I have ever had the honor to consume! I do NOT say this lightly and…read morehave had catering from quite a few others. You can really tell there is some multi-generational love, talent, and passion to cook here. From the plating, presentation of the table, to mouth watering last bite, I was in love (with food) and cannot wait until they cater to our company events in the future. Such heart and warm smiles from Lucia and staff. you can see her face light up with pride as she watches the reaction on people's faces, someone who really puts everything into what she is doing, and it's all for you! Ever since the last time we used them, each other establishment we had cater or deliver, was a let down by comparison. Truly. You have nothing to lose by taking my word on this next part. TRY THE CANNOLI.

We hired A Catered Affaire recently for our family reunion. Jess, (co-owner ), arrived at our house…read moreand set up a large spread of delicious pulled pork, pulled chicken, green beans, coleslaw and slider rolls. All of the hot food was presented on a silver Buffet warmer, heated by sterno cans. Very fancy! The slider buns were in a beautiful wicker basket. The food was so delicious and plentiful! We ended up by having a little bit left over, more than enough to feed our hungry family. Definitely I would hire them back for future events! We appreciated that Jess stayed initially to make sure things were set up properly and we were satisfied with everything she brought. We highly recommend A Catered Affair!

About a month before the event, she sent us a message that she would no longer be able to cater for us due to a traumatic accident. We gave her time to heal and get through PT but now, a year after paying our deposit, we still have not gotten it back. We also no longer get responses to emails or txts. Wanted to share our experience so others do not have this same experience with COP.

She offered great suggestions and help us to find a great option within our budget when the party kept growing in guests. Communication was great through the planning period and she arrived early to deliver the food. She even helped out with a few other non food related tasks when we didn't even ask her to do so. The food was OUTSTANDING! The absolute best catered food I have ever had. The food was very flavorful, beautifully presented and high quality. Guests raved about the food and a few went back for seconds and thirds. Having owned an event planning company and worked on planning many events that required catering service, I must say that Center of the Plate is the best I've ever worked with and apparently a best kept secret of Lansing.

We selected The Moveable Feast to cater my daughter's Bat Mitzvah in the midst of a global…read morepandemic, and they did an extraordinary job. Why did we choose The Moveable Feast? Well, because our congregation had a small list of approved caterers, and my daughter wanted one thing for the big celebration: a chocolate fountain. As luck would have it, The Moveable Feast has a chocolate fountain front and center on its website, so they were the obvious choice. The only other thing the Bat Mitzvah Girl wanted was bagels and cream cheese, which is her favorite food and pretty much impossible to mess up. Especially when the caterer agrees to source the bagels from Zingerman's Bakehouse. But one needs more for a luncheon than just bagels, cream cheese, and a chocolate fountain. That is where Misty Rose entered the picture. She got what we were going for and helped to round out the rest of the menu. I was told we had to get the whitefish as it was a signature dish of the company, and that was a great call. The pastrami spiced smoked salmon was tasty too. Having grilled vegetables was a fantastic idea as well. If I were to have TMF cater another event I might skip the red pepper hummus, the beet and quinoa salad, and the frittata. I make all of these things at home on the regular, and not to brag, but mine are better. However, those each served a role in the buffet, which on the whole was well received. Where The Moveable Feast shined brightest was its staff. They were extraordinary! Misty for both her flexibility and her patience in dealing with a father who was planning an event at the earliest stages of Omicron. Misty also directed me to A1 Rentals and helped to come up with several floor plans to make a 20' x 40' tent feel like a celebratory space. Plus the event staff were simply heroic, setting up the tent while I was at the ceremony and having everything ready by the time our guests arrived. Everyone who braved traveling to Michigan in December amidst a growing pandemic had a great time. The bartender roaming around pushing mimosas certainly helped. As did the tent heaters, which TMF helped to get back online when one wasn't working. They called up the rental company and made sure A1 brought over a new one. Plus the TMF crew even helped to spread out some straw when the lawn got sloppy thanks to the unexpected ice storm. If you've read down this far, you might be asking yourself, "So why only four stars?" Well, if you recall, the critical components of this event were a chocolate fountain, bagels, and cream cheese. The chocolate fountain was everything the guest of honor had hoped for... and maybe more. But somehow, the caterer forgot to bring the cream cheese. And a bagel without cream cheese is like a hug without the squeeze. I know that's not actually how the line goes. Still... it's close. My personal belief is that a business is best defined by what happens when something goes wrong. In this case, their first offer was to simply not charge me for the food they didn't bring. That was not terribly satisfying. Ultimately, the resolution was a sum that was roughly equivalent to the mimosas which helped make our adult guests happy despite the omission. I appreciated the gesture, but would have preferred an outcome that did not feel as transactional. You know, like a tray of sweets, or an "I'm sorry" cake. I know I'm weird about this, but money feels kinda dirty. Although at some point it's best to just take the offer and move on. Which is exactly what I did. Would I work with The Moveable Feast again? Absolutely! Would I recommend them to anyone who asks? You bet. Would they work with me again? I certainly hope so. We had a tremendous amount of leftovers, which included a few pounds of smoked salmon and multiple pints of whitefish. We were even able to salvage some of the ambrosial nectar from the chocolate fountain. More importantly, thanks to TMF we were able to pull off a successful event in the face of some abysmal conditions. I mean... on top of everything a last minute ice storm? And despite being down a person, they did it all with a smile. Bravo!

Very clean and everyone who worked there was so kind and eager to help with our table of 8.

I got the bed head BLT and the bacon was so thicc I want it every day of my life. The bread was hearty and a little more toasted than preferred, but better that than soggy. I think the crusty bread just made it harder to eat. (But we made it work HA! So yummy) the potatoes had so much flavor, rosemary which I loved but some of the kids in the party did not care for. My partner got the breakfast nook and it was pretty simple and tasty. The fruit and yogurt bowl was a hit and looked incredibly fresh. The naan plate also got good reviews. We would go back if we're ever randomly in Lansing again. Plus we love to support a woman owned business!
