We hired Wendy Krispin Catering for a university reception -- 40 guests, standing format, off-premise venue with no kitchen. From the first planning conversation to the final cleanup, WKC was professional, organized, and easy to work with. What I appreciated most: I didn't have to manage anything the night of the event. The team handled setup, service, and strike so seamlessly that I was able to be fully present with our guests. That's the real test of a good caterer, and they passed it completely. The food was well-presented and the staff carried themselves with genuine professionalism throughout the evening. Pricing was transparent and fair for the level of service delivered. If you're planning a corporate or private reception in Dallas and want a team that executes without drama, Wendy Krispin is the call to make. read more

We had an appointment to meet a representative from this catering company a week ago. They called the night before and they rescheduled. We were to meet them at 2 PM at the venue. They did not show up. They did not call. We called to see if they were coming. They explained that they forgot. When you are unable to keep a customer commitment it is customary to call and cancel. We never had the opportunity to explore what they had to offer because they obviously have little regard for the treatment of potential customers. This was very disappointing. read more

I can't say enough positive things about Wendy Krispin Catering! We have used them for several events through our organization and each one has been a huge success. Wendy manages her teams effectively, the food is delicious, flowers are gorgeous arrangements, every single thing is thought of and executed to perfection. I love that she handled all aspects of what we needed. If you are looking to have an event catered, look no further than Wendy Krispin Catering! read more

Wendy Krispin catered a Sunday birthday remembrance luncheon for 15 family members and friends. My family & friends have a variety of allergies and food preferences making selecting one restaurant difficult . Wendy worked with me to have a variety of selections to make everyone happy. Since the brunch started at noon, we selected a combination of breakfast and lunch items. Everyone raved about the prime rib roast and the au jus another big hit was the chicken breakfast sausage and french toast with the fixings. She also did not skimp on the portion sizes. We had plenty left over that almost everyone had something to take home! read more

Wendy the opening party for our showroom in the Dallas Design District. Over two hundred in attendance and everyone was complimentary of the food, signature cocktail and service she provided. Wendy is fun to work with and her staff is friendly and attentive. Thanks Wendy & team! read more

Wendy Krispin Caterer - Caterers Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Wendy Krispin came recommended by a colleague as we were planning a week training event in Dallas. When you live out of state and have to host an event you rely on recommendations and reviews. The team at Wendy Krispin catering was exceptional! From Elianah who took my endless calls and requests for changes, to Luis who first greeted my team for set up, to Larry who spent the entire week providing exceptional onsite service for me and my colleagues - they were all excellent to work with. Wendy arrived personally on day 1 to ensure set up was as I wanted it and also checked in with me to ensure the event was going well and that we had enough food for our guests. And the food was FANTASTIC! I highly recommend Wendy and the team. Look no further she won't disappoint. read more

Simply amazing. We hired Wendy for our wedding, i literally had many people tell me this is the best food they had in a weeding, the chicken was absolutely . But the best thing by far was the hibiscus drink. I was very impressed how Wendy knew so much about Cuban history and food. She did an awesome job having American and Cuban food for everyone at the weeding. Thank you Wendy read more

"we do this everyday" its their motto and that confidence and execution shines through. I didnt stop receiving compliments on the food from the moment the apps came out until our wedding was over. the bacon wrapped dates, beef carving station and smores station were exceptional highlights from the best wedding food I have had. Her staff was so lovely and professional and im very happy to have a great caterer in my back pcoket read more

Only super-positive things to say about the party they catered for my mom's birthday. We hosted a brunch for 15 people in her home. Luis showed up right on time, greeted the hosts and got right to work. He set up the serving stations beautifully, made sure we were on board with his decisions, and was incredibly respectful and accommodating as he went. After the event, he stayed to clean everything, even the plastic plates and cutlery! Then, the food. Oh, the food! It made me wish I had two stomachs. Everything was made freshly that morning in their kitchen then transported to us. The mushroom and cheese frittata was outstanding, full of flavor and delicious. Consistency of the eggs was great. The french toast casserole was amazing, really yummy, great consistency again where all the bread was cooked the same (not at all mushy or overdone). Breakfast potatoes with onions and peppers were great, just crispy enough. The lox and bagel spread was done beautifully with a wooden serving board for the fish and little bowls for all the vegetables and toppings. Yogurt parfaits were rich and tasty (my only complaint is a minor detail that the berries in them weren't great). Overall, I was really impressed with how everything went. The service was outstanding. The food was great. And they packaged up leftovers to enjoy over the next few days. read more

Not recommended. The food served was not at all what I had expected. I had been at a party where they had catered before and the food seemed so much better. Perhaps it was because I had had a small party. The beef was served on a little white plate off to the side. The only thing that seemed in large quantity were the quesadillas. The shrimp wrapped in bacon was very dry. The only reason why I am giving this three stars is because both the bartender and server were very impressive. Much of the food was supposedly prepared in my garage? One has to wonder where and for whom the food had really been prepared for. read more

If you are planning any sort of event- you've found your dream catering vendor with Wendy! Extremely professional, excellent service, and went above and beyond than the capacity of a traditional caterer. Our events had many cultural and timing nuances that were all handled expertly by Wendy and her team. We actually stopped by one day prior to our event to drop off some desserts and got to see a preview of the action of her catering staff prepping our menu- things that some caterers might buy pre-made, Wendy's team was making from scratch. We got so many compliments regarding the food from everyone we talked to that night. Wendy's team also ensured that my wife and I were able to take time to eat and actually enjoy our reception with their excellent service. 10/10 would recommend for any event. read more

We absolutely loved working with WKC. Wendy and her team did a fantastic job catering our wedding on 11/3. They were professional and responsive. They worked with us on every little detail. Everything you want in a vendor. Throughout the wedding process, we had some flakey vendors. WKC was not one of them. We actually booked WKC almost a year in advance but they never forgot about us. We always knew they were going to get the job done. I didn't have to worry about her. The food for our reception was fantastic. We received so many compliments from our friends and family. We had a carving station and a stirfry stations. Our guests loved getting up and mingling while getting food. Food was important to us and we wanted our guests to have an experience. She accomplished that. WKC was definitely one of the highlights of our wedding. We definitely recommend working with WKC. read more

We cannot say enough good things about Wendy and her team!! She catered our wedding in Ft Worth in August, and she went above and beyond with every detail. The first time I connected with Wendy, she laughed because it was clear that our vision and our budget for the wedding did not line up...and then she said she'd get creative and call me back, and she totally figured out how to make it happen! She far exceeded our expectations and perfectly realized the vision for our wedding! I've included a longer review below for anyone interested, but I will just say that Wendy is professional, creative, easy to work with, and incredibly helpful. Our wedding was flawless, the food was amazing, and the service was excellent. We are foodies and wanted a creative menu that didn't feel like mass producewedding food - Wendy pulled it off! We planned our whole wedding from a thousand miles away and could not have done it without their help! Thanks, Wendy and Elianah - we are huge fans of yours! Longer review for anyone interested: I am one of those super picky people who over researches everything to make sure I'm getting the highest quality for the best price - so I did plenty of digging before reaching out to a handful of caterers who I thought would fit the bill. Of all the inquiries I submitted with caterers in Dallas, Wendy was the first and only one to pick up the phone and call me. She was immediately helpful, offering recommendations about our venue and potential ways we could get creative to serve the type of meal we had in mind with a rather limited budget. It got better from there. We only learned after our tasting that it wasn't typical to try 10 different entree options - it was actually laughable how much food Wendy's team prepared for our tasting! Her menu options are VERY extensive, and she also created some custom items based on what we thought wanted. After our tasting we changed the the menu at least five times, and we even changed the reception venue twice. Wendys team just rolled with it. We are foodies with high expectations, and the food at our wedding was everything we hoped for...even better than we remembered from the tasting, which was pretty awesome considering a crowd of two-hundred. But the real benefit of working with Wendy was the amount of stress she took off of us - she was super responsive and just handled all the details that we wouldn't have even thought of. She figured out the whole bar setup, drink menu, etc. We didn't get to meet all the servers during the receptions, but a few of them that served us were really friendly and really professional. I could go on about the details we appreciated. We highly recommend Wendy and her team - we totally get why she's been one of the best in Dallas for so long. Thanks for everything!! read more

Wendy Krispin Caterer - Caterers Near Me - Dallas, Texas

We tried two of Wendy's meals (chicken meatloaf one night, and Korean braised beef short ribs another night) for the first time this past week. Quite simply these were OUTSTANDNG!! The freshness and quality of the food, the perfect seasoning, the total ease of reheating, and the convenience of ordering/delivery were absolutely perfect. Wendy Krispin Caterer is in a league by itself and is "head & shoulders" above any other meal delivery service we've ever tried (and we have tried many). We are now HUGE FANS, and Wendy's meals will now be an ongoing part of our family dining options. read more

Wendy and her team are true professionals! Everything was delicious, delivered on time, and her staff went out of their way to make our event a success. read more

SHE THREATENED TO CANCEL ON OUR EVENT THE DAY BEFORE BECAUSE SHE DIDN'T HAVE GOOD NOTES ON OUR EVENT THAT WE'D PLANNED WITH HER SIX MONTHS IN ADVANCE. The food was moderately good but nothing to write home about considering the gumbo shooters would've been much better if the rice had been cooked and the meat at the carving stations were all over-cooked. The service staff was fantastic but Wendy Krispin herself is HORRIBLE to work with, she screamed at her staff, called the President of our company an IDIOT TO HIS FACE FOR pre-icing the beer and was the rudest person I'd ever worked with. I've never seen a caterer speak to her clients as if they don't actually sign her checks. Rude, awful woman! I think she's bi-polar. Find another caterer, you'll be much happier. read more

I used to work in catering so I understand how hard it is. The first five bites I was like-- yumm-o. Then the 6th bite of salad I was like woah this has officially moved on to way too sweet. The meat eaters in the group said the same thing about the citrus chicken. I am a purist so I enjoyed the grilled veggies, even though they had little to no seasoning. Everyone in my office enjoyed the various sides--orzo, muffins, etc. However, they had a great desserts. We had a tiramasu brownie, chocolate chip cookies, and fudge covered various flavor cheesecakes. Everyone was very happy with the desserts and the overall presentation was very well done. read more

I am shocked that Yelp does not have more reviews for Wendy!! We based all our wedding decisions by referrals and word of mouth. Consider this my shout out! Wendy Krispin needs to be a part of your catering tasting. **Wendy Krispin catering will be catering our wedding on October 11th, so there will be an additional review to follow! Our first impression was the cost - great!! Then of course, the food - absolutely amazing! We are having the pecan crusted chicken and the tilapia for our meats. I'm not a big 'caesar salad' fan, but fell in love with that too! The hibiscus tea - made by Wendy and not your ordinary tea - a must have for the wedding, especially for the non-drinkers. You can tell her and her staff have been in the business for quite some time. This will show when you meet her. All in all, I refuse to miss my meal on our wedding day! read more

Absolutely Amazing! I was fortunate to have used WKC almost 6 years ago to the day, and when I was in need of a caterer for a large event for our Studio Gala, she was the first person to come to mind. She went above and beyond for our wedding and once again at our Studio Gala. She runs a first class operation. She has an amazing eye for design and her food is phenomenal. The entire staff was amazing and made our event a definite success. One of our other vendors dropped the ball and without hesitation she stepped up and took care of the situation. So lucky to have met WKC 6 years ago! Thanks for everything once again! read more

I hosted two events on two different day at Baylor college this week and Wendy Krispin came though big time. I couldn't believe the value we got. We got hot lunches in chafing dishing, salads, and desert for about $10 per person. That included delivery, table clothes, plates, forks, knifes, and serving tools. They delivered the food on time and showed up looking professional. Her staff was extremely pleasant and helpful to work with as well. Additionally, they followed up with me several times before the event to make sure details were 100% right. At the end of the week my customers were asking me for her cards so I hope she gets some referrals from the business. I used yelp to find some catering a many companies turned me away because of my budget and quality of people I was needing food for. I have managed restaurants before and was surprised to hear they wouldn't work with me. Doesn't matter to me though because I will never use anyone else for catering in the Dallas area. Thank you Wendy and Staff! read more

Wendy and her staff are amazing. Our company has used them to cater our corporate events and have never been disappointed with the food or presentation. Wendy and her team ALWAYS deliver and I HIGHLY recommend Wendy Krispin Caterer! read more

I loved working with Wendy! She always responded to my emails quickly, and never minded answering all of my questions! The food was amazing, both during the tasting and during our reception! The staff and servers all did their jobs well, and they even made sure my wife and I got to sit down and eat during our reception! I would definitely use them again for another event! From the very start, she accommodated our personal requests and knew what would work and what would not. We had several changes we wanted throughout planning and she was great! I highly suggest the fried chicken and waffles and the lamb appetizers, our guests loved it! read more

Excellent caterer! They catered my daughter's wedding and from the tasting to the end of our event, WKC was top-notch. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, and the service couldn't have been better. I received compliments all night on the wonderful meal. Wendy made sure we were completely happy with the menu and all the extra details, like taking water to the bride during the pre-ceremony photo session to making sure the bride and groom had appetizers during their photos after the ceremony while everyone else was enjoying them during cocktail hour. She and her staff also accommodated the matron of honor's celiac disease restrictions with no problems. She was very easy to work with, professional, so efficient, and extremely detail oriented. AND her pricing was the lowest of all our bids!! I don't see how it could have been any better! Thank you WKC!! read more

I've worked with Wendy and her team for three years in a row on our company's client appreciation party. The food and service are always incredible!

Highly recommend working with Wendy Krispin Caterer! read more

They went the extra-mile to work with us on the details and actually came in under our budget!! The food/menu choices and the signature hibiscus tea were amazing. On the day of our wedding/ reception...Scott and the team were great and made everything run smoothly so we could enjoy the moment. THANK YOU!!!! read more

Wendy's food is so delicious!!! Everything is homemade, even the salad dressings... Can't remember if I've ever had real buttermilk ranch dressing and it was divine! I would say the deliciousness of the food is equally matched by the level of professionality of her staff. I used Wendy Krispin catering for my husband's 50th birthday party and can't stress enough what an amazing experience we had. Wendy's staff was more than willing to take direction or to step up and make decisions on how to set up in our home. Everyone was friendly, willing to please and super easy to work with. I look forward to catering my next event with Wendy Krispin catering and now they're doing individual meals for home and the Easter menu looks so yummy! Call them up and use them for their individual meals during this very difficult time, You will be so happy because your tummy will be happy that sounds goofy but her food really is amazingly wonderful! read more

Wendy and her staff were willing to accommodate my catering request without much lead time. My corporate lunch was magnificent and the setup was top-notch. I will definitely use Wendy Krispin Caterer AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN, with ample notice of course. read more

Wendy and her team are FANTASTIC! From the moment I reached out to them, they were extremely responsive and professional. We were blown away with her EFFICIENCY and RELIABILITY. She gets things done! She made the day stress free and her servers are some of the nicest people you will meet. Her food is SO GOOD and throughout the evening our guests raved about her. She also created a dessert bar with the theme of our college which I thought went above and beyond. Couldn't have been happier with our choice to work with her and her team! read more

I have chaired several fundraisers over the past few years and the guest list is minimum 100. I have tried out several catering companies including some of the chain restaurant catering depts (I know - slap my wrists) and Krispin blows them all away. I've been in the restaurant biz for decades - my family owned a restaurant and I've worked for some of the biggest casual dining companies, and this is one of the classiest operations I've seen. From her initial visit to assess what needs to be done to clean up after the event, you can rest assured that all details will be taken care of. Her service isn't cheap but if it was you wouldn't get the quality of service and food she provides. I can't recommend this business enough. Luv ya, Wendy! read more

Such a wonderful experience. The staff is OUTSTANDING. The catering was tasteful, well presented, the staff was friendly, professional and prompt, and it made things run so smoothly. Every person I worked with was amazing. read more

Absolutely amazing! Not only was the food superb but the service was stellar. One of the best things I heard from my guests after the wedding was how attentive the staff was. Everyone always had a drink or water in their glass, and were constantly asked if they needed anything else. The bartenders we also had were fabulous not only at making all of the guests drinks but were just really nice and fun people. In my opinion Wendy Krispin is the premiere caterer for any event that you want not only phenomenal food but a whole experience with phenomenal service! read more

A very solid team at Wendy Krispin Catering! Working with Elianah on the phone was super easy and she was always prompt in sending me menu examples and invoices but also worked with me to ensure the event would be the best that it could. Not only did all my guests really enjoy the delicious menu selection, but the two gentlemen, Louis and Jose, that worked the event were so professional and helpful. They took care of everything we needed. You can't go wrong with Wendy Krispin! read more

I was recently the chair of a fundraiser that had about 190 guests. Wendy worked with us to provide fantastic Southern food, a valet, her space 129 Leslie, and many other accommodations. She was great to work with, and the food was wonderful. The fried chicken and spinach grits were great. She did a homemade fudge that was also excellent. Wendy also provided myself and two others hosting the event with a fantastic food tasting. All-in-all we had a wonderful experience, and I definitely look forward to working with Wendy again. read more
