    We had our wedding here and it was nothing less than spectacular. Our coordinator was Heather and she was so easy to work with along with being so friendly! We loved that we could see all of downtown Grand Rapids. The view was amazing! If your thinking of getting married I highly suggest The Bissell Tree House!

    I can't say enough good things about Maddalenas! Book them! Amazing food, great value, and…read moreclient-focused! They were on our wedding venue's recommendation list, along with five other caterers. We narrowed the options down to two (Distinctive and Maddalenas) for tastings and Maddalenas killed it! The citrus salmon, airline chicken, and truffle glazed sirloin were all amazing... and affordable!! Amy was a great host and communicator all throughout the planning process. Covid restrictions unexpectedly forced us to delay, then ultimately cancel our wedding for quick overseas nuptials... and they offered to refund our deposit, no questions asked. Times like this show a company's character for better or worse and I can't believe how great and understanding they were! Definitely booking them for my next event!

    My now-husband and I chose Maddalena's Catering company as our covid plan B wedding caterers, and I…read morecouldn't have been more happy with my experience with them! First off, Amy, the catering manager, did everything she could to serve us in a short notice, even though they had other wedding that day. We met with her and got an in-person menu explanation, then taste testing with the chef, Matt. He was so knowledgeable about what meals travelled well and when my husband didn't like the topping on the chicken (since he doesn't like mushrooms, even though I LOVE mushrooms), the chef was willing to switch the sauce with the one we both loved. Highly recommend their sirloin and airline chicken! The week of the event, Amy and her assistant came out to my private resident venue (yes - my covid venue) and scoped out the best spot for the buffet line and serving stations. She dropped off the linens for us prior too and was willing to pick them up after the event was done. On the day of the wedding, Amy offered to get my husband and I our plates so we didn't have to stress about waiting in line! HOW AWESOME! Seriously they went above and beyond. Also, to top it off... they have the option of doing late night pizza delivery... which we did and it was amazing! 10/10 recommend them, and sooo glad I did my "Covid wedding" because it was better than my original plan thanks to them!
