From Scratch Catering & Event Planning - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Huge callout to Kristina Armstrong and team for an outstanding job for the Himm-Jahr wedding. The food was so good, beautifully presented. I had the privilege of facilitating the wedding and I can only sing high praises: The From Scratch team was cheerful, gracious and did whatever they could do to have the event be a remarkable experience for the grooms and guests. Highly recommend. (I so wish that I had captured the spread and hope they post some pics to share their artistry. ) WELL DONE!

Their sales team is wonderful and responsive. The food is delicious, and presented tastefully. The onsite staff/service is timely, professional, presentable, and personable. The ice cream cart is wonderful, pleasing to the eye, and DELICIOUS. I am highly impressed and would love to work with them again.

We have used From Scratch twice now for our annual fund raiser at Mid-Michigan Children's Museum. The guests raved about the food! For our 2024 event, we added an additional 100 guests as compared to 2023, and we believe the food was partially responsible for the increase. We will be using them again --- so easy to work with From Scratch!

We hired From Scratch to cater our wedding in June 2023 and it was the absolute best decision. From the first email to the last plate, everything was first class. Ryan and his team met and truly exceeded every expectation. Our wedding was in early June and by the end of wedding season, all of our close friends and family agreed that our food was still the best. Our wedding was about an hour and a half away from the From Scratch normal operating area and you would never have known that they traveled with everything. There was not one single detail missed. Timing was perfect, food was delicious, the drinks flowed, and Ryan was a masterful conductor through it all. We can not thank them enough and would not hesitate to use them in the future. Simply outstanding.

We just had our daughters wedding in suttons bay Oct 7 2023. People raved that this was the best wedding food ever! So professional and service was excellent! Highly recommend the fall spectacular bar!

We had From Scratch cater our wedding last weekend and the food and service were both top notch!! We had so many guests tell us how much they enjoyed the food, and from our experience it was even better than the tasting- which was pretty incredible as well! Ryan is great to work with. He has an amazing staff that has everything handled at the blink of an eye. Highly recommend!!!

Ryan and the staff were amazing! They accommodated our backyard wedding. We got multiple comments about how wonderful and friendly the staff was and how good the food was!! Multiple guests went and got seconds because the food was soooo good! Thank you again for making our dream backyard wedding everything we had hoped for and more.

I wish there were more than 5 stars! These guys were beyond amazing. We had compliments on the food all night. How often do you go to a wedding and actually like the food? Well it can actually happen! The wait staff was friendly and helpful. The bar staff was amazing! But most importantly the food was awesome and we have so very picky eaters not to mention a lot of food allergies that they accommodated. I honestly cannot sat enough, but planning a wedding and finding the right vendors can be challenging. Let me help and just say BOOK NOW and save yourself the time and stress.

Our experience at the wedding last night was amazing!!! The food was the best that I’ve eaten in a long time!!! I have food allergies so sometimes it’s hard to know what I can and cannot eat at events like weddings. The staff was amazing and so knowledgeable about the ingredients they were using! A wonderful lady also helped me at the end of the night by contacting her manager to make sure I could have the taco bar food! She was kind, considerate and went above and beyond for me! Jenna did a fabulous job bartending! She was so kind, sweet and fun! She was wonderful! I recommend this company for everyone!

We used From Scratch Catering for our wedding and we could not be happier with our decision. Everything was so delicious and we hear compliments from our guests about how delicious the food was all the time. I still think about how the food daily basis and wish I could just hire them to make me dinner. Might have to throw another event just to have them cater it.

They catered our wedding at The Treasury. Food was amazing, I had guests coming up all night raving about the food. We had 230 people and opted for the buffet style meal. Since we knew it would take a while to get through the buffet, we added a plated Michigan salad and bread at the table for the guests to munch on while they waited their turn. We had a lot of dietary restrictions such as vegetarian and bean/nut allergy. All guests with dietary restrictions received a plated meal to fit their dietary restriction for no additional charge. This was a huge plus, so we did not have to change the buffet choices to fit all dietary restrictions. The staff was amazing, and every guest received exceptional customer service with a smile. Late night we opted for their flatbread pizza, and everyone LOVED it. It was the perfect snack for guests to munch on after having a few drinks. At the end of the night, they sent all leftovers with my family so we could continue to enjoy the next day!

From Scratch did a phenomenal job with our fundraising gala for the second year in a row. Our guests loved everything from sushi to sliders to shooters to ice-cream and cookies. Presentation, service and flavors were superb. We will definitely book them again for next year.

We hired From Scratch catering for our wedding at The Treasury. We were lucky to have to opportunity to attend 2 tastings with From Scratch, one plated and one buffet as we were planning on a family style dinner service. We never had a single bad item at either tasting. They were extremely flexible in letting us choose from both their plated and buffet menus to make a perfect family style combination for us. The appetizers they had were creative and delicious and were honestly some of my favorite choices we made. They made sure to have plenty of apps waiting at the head table as my husband and I were busy with photos our whole cocktail hour and I was so grateful for that! Day of the dinner service went smoothly and the staff took special attention to make sure my husband and I had time to eat between greeting guests. Everyone raved about how amazing the food was, especially the beef. Actually, the first text I received the morning after our wedding was from one of my bridesmaids who said “I will dream of that mac and cheese for the rest of my life.” From Scratch’s close relationship with The Treasury made our day so seamless and I’m so grateful for an amazing food experience as I know food can make or break a wedding experience.

We used From Scratch Catering for our wedding at The Treasury and it was incredible! Everyone came up to us saying how amazing the food was from apps to dinner and the after glow snack. It was an amazing night and the food made it even better!

We had a wonderful experience with our Summer 2022 wedding. The food was both delicious and warm. The staff was courteous and attentive. It was fun to have feature drinks!

I couldn't find a single flaw if I tried. We used From Scratch Catering for our wedding last weekend. They were absolutely amazing!!! The entire experience from quote to day of went so smoothly. Ryan was such a huge help and made things very easy and carefree. The staff at the wedding were so friendly and prompt. The food was out of this world too!! Highly recommend them for any of your catering needs!!!!

We used From Scratch for our wedding this past weekend and they absolutely hit a grand slam in every way. I'll break down all the aspects of what they did. Initial dealings and menu - working with Ryan was a true pleasure. He was so friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. He helped us curate the alcohol and food menu. He was responsive to all our questions and even went to our venue (family cottage) to make sure he had all the logistics down. Food- I am a foodie in every way and the food is some of the best I've had. His catering staff were on time, friendly, and made it a great experience. Every single food item from appetizers to the main courses were executed perfectly. Bar - they supplied us with 2 of the most friendly bar tenders I've seen at a wedding. They were quick, attentive, and never wavered in their attitudes even tho it was 90+ degrees. Overall - Everyone said this is one of the best weddings they have attended and a lot of that credit goes to From Scratch. Thank you all for helping make our wedding day perfect.

Delicious food. Friendly and knowledgeable staff!

I used From Scratch Catering for my wedding in June, 2022. The food was INCREDIBLE and everything I could have asked for and more. They had plenty of options and were easy to work with. My family has a significant shellfish allergy and they were great about food allergies as well. We are still receiving compliments from our guests about how great the food was! I would highly recommend using this company for any big event!

We hired From Scratch Catering for our daughter's wedding held in Harbor Beach MI. The food and service exceeded our expectations for both quality and professionalism. Ryan's great communication kept us informed of opportunities for tasting events and timelines in the months prior to the wedding. He even made a separate trip to see the location of the wedding beforehand. All of the services provided by From Scratch including the reception set up, bar, servers, and amazing food made a difference in day. Thank you, Ryan and staff

I cannot tell you the number of people who came up to us at our wedding that said, bar none, this was the best wedding food they’d ever had. From Scratch not just delivered on exceptional flavor and options, but their service was impeccable and Ryan was incredibly accommodating of several allergies/dietary issues when menu planning. Multiple guests were asking for the caterer’s information after dinner so they could use them in the future. Highly HIGHLY recommend!!

From Scratch Catering was easy to work with from the moment we started looking for catering for our wedding! The communication, attention to detail, and food taste was top of the line! Our guests are still talking about how good the food was at our wedding! From Scratch did our appetizers, meal, desserts, and late night snack and it was all 5-star!

I used From Scratch Catering on 4/23/22 for my wedding at The Pine Tree Barn. I can not say enough great things about their food & service (and neither could my guests!). They made the process beyond easy & everything tasted amazing! Their selection for the buffet was great as well. I’m telling you they’re worth every penny!

If I could give this place more stars than 5, I would. We recently held our wedding ceremony and reception at this venue (4/22/22). There are so many amazing to be said! We used their catering company, From Scratch Catering. The food was phenomenal and people could not stop talking about it! You will leave satisfied and not needing to stop to eat on your way home. We utilized their buffet option and everything was hot and fresh upon serving. You will not be disappointed! All in all, if I could do my wedding again, I wouldn't change a single thing.

We used From Scratch for our wedding at The Treasury and we were very impressed! All of our guests RAVED about it

Run, do not walk, to hire From Scratch Catering for your event. They have large scale catering down to some form of witchcraft... seriously. I have been to many weddings and catered events over the years, and the food is so so-This was the best catered food I have ever had in my life- along with all of my guests! People are still going out of their way to compliment the food, and our wedding was 2 months ago. We went the buffet route, and were not disappointed. It's beautifully displayed, hot, and fresh. The tenderloin was some of the best we've ever had. If I had to eat 1 meal for the rest of my life, it'd be my wedding dinner.

Best food 12/03/21 for my wedding. Many compliments and great vegan options. I was highly impressed! Wish I ate more because it was so good but being the bride people kept talking to me ha-ha.

From Scratch Catering served the most amazing food!! We hired them for our wedding at The Treasury and had so many complements on the food all night (especially the 3 cheese penne), but it was all so delicious! Their service was great, the food was always hot and ready on time. They got all of our guests through the buffet line so quickly and the buffet never ran out. We would highly recommend for any event!

We used them for our wedding and it was perfect! The guests were complimenting the food all night. They were easy to work with and guided us through the whole process. Would 100% recommend them.

The food was incredible!!!! Jeff worked with me and my specific tastes! I love food and had a particular vision! I wanted overflowing h’orderves that made a statement, so he designed a 16 foot serpentine table full of charcuterie! I wanted cevice, and it was plated beautifully, absolutely delicious and passed around along with 3 other passed h’orderves so there was plentiful food and a constant flow! Some specifics, I cannot personally stand food trays all about the floor, they heard my concern and we had enough servers and expediters to move the food quickly and elegantly. They handled every special request down to my butter, in which they made it even better and more beautiful than I he imagined. Our dinner was HOT! Imagine, at a wedding where food is often cold and tasteless! Our steak was soooo TENDER! It should not be classified as “wedding food” as that often has a bad connotation. It was hot, great quality, delicious and plated beautifully!

We had our wedding at The Treasury and used From Scratch Catering and we were not disappointed. The food was amazing. Everyone was so easy to work with and so accommodating. We loved their unique appetizer and dinner choices. Our guests still talk about the dinner at the reception months later. We were so happy with From Scratch Catering, we would highly recommend this company to anyone!

We had our perfect day the the Treasury and used their catering service as well. HIGHLY recommend. The food was amazing and our guests still talk about it four months later! They had so many different options to chose from so all of our guests were completely satisfied.

My husband and I used From Scratch Catering for our wedding at The Treasury in June. They were suggested by our venue manager, who we trusted so it was an easy decision! We weren't sure how the food would be since it's made in a truck at the venue, but we were BLOWN AWAY at how amazing the food was! We unfortunately did not get to try our h'orderves since we missed most of cocktail hour, but all of our guests said they were wonderful! When it came to picking our main meal, Jeff worked with us to hand select each item, and build a unique plate. We chose a duet plate for everyone, and he allowed us to pick the sauce used, how it was plated, and even hand selected our veggie option from what was fresh that week! We absolutely cleaned our plates, and so did all of our guests! We had guests telling us the night of our wedding, and even weeks after how AMAZING the food was! If you're looking for delicious, unique food that's not your "typical" wedding food, pick From Scratch! Jeff was amazing and so easy to work with, and the serving staff was so prompt, polite, and professional. Food is such a huge part of a wedding, and From Scratch exceeded our expectations!

Personally, having excellent tasting food was pretty much the most important element of my wedding. I hired From Scratch to cater based on their awesome reviews that I came across online and they were so accurate! The food was insanely tasty from the hors d'oeuvre to the buffet meal. I received nothing but compliments from my guests. All of the food options were wonderful..but I specifically want to shout out the pulled bbq pork and the pretzels with cheese! So good!! Everything went smoothly and was presented timely day of. I loved that they packed up all of the leftovers for us to keep (which was a lot of food!). I worked with Ryan to get everything organized leading up to the event. He made it incredibly simple, was a quick responder and just overall nice! Definitely would use again and definitely recommend :)

I had the most spectacular wedding at The Treasury on June 5th, 2021!!!! We used the preferred/in-house caterer, From Scratch Catering. Hayley, Jeff, and their teams provided the best service and support to make our event truly perfect. Jeff was helpful and spent time walking us through all possible options, eventually landing on a great menu. While we weren't thrilled to review that there was a stipulation about the potential for market fluctuations in our contract -- which as a result of COVID, played a factor -- Jeff and Hayley worked with us and were flexible to make sure everything was accurate and reasonable. Our guests raved about our venue and all our food and drinks. We had a mojito bar which was well received by our guests, plus all other served wine, beer, and cocktails kept the party lively. All the food -- especially the beef tenderloin and passed Korean meatballs -- was prepared and served perfectly and had such great flavor and presentation! (I was busy being the bride and didn't have time to try everything -- too many things to do and people to see! :) ) The mashed potatoes and asparagus were perfect sides for our selections. The attentive and friendly service the day of our event was exactly what we were hoping for, from the servers to the bartenders. What an amazing, unforgettable day.

Jeff ended up saving us when our original caterer was no longer able to provide for our wedding. The food came out just as we asked and it was amazing! We requested a more high-end menu from our original caterer and Jeff was able to mimic the menu and delivered great food and service to our guests. Highly recommend.

We used From Scratch Catering and Event Planning for our Wedding Reception at The Treasury. We had a great experience from planning, tasting and the day of our event! Perfectly executed - highly recommend!

Hands down best food i have had at a wedding. everything was so good and over the top. I am so happy and pleased as my guests could not stop talking about it. consider them for your next event you will not be disappointed.

Amazing! From Scratch will not disappoint! From the moment we started working with Jeff and Ryan we knew what we were going to get and it was one thing we were not willing to change about our wedding. The food is delicious, you can’t go wrong with any of it. There are so many tasty options and the packages are of great value, giving your guests a variety to choose from. We got so many compliments on the food! With From Scratch you’re not getting the traditional banquet food people say is so so, you’re getting gourmet, home cooked food. Not to mention the staff you are working with is awesome! They truly cater to your needs and are friendly and easy to work with. We couldn’t have gotten through the wedding planning during this time if it wasn’t for Jeff and Ryan being patient and flexible. The only thing my husband wished was that he got a stock of Mac n’ Cheese and potatoes for the next couple weeks!😆 Highly highly recommend!

We had an exceptional experience with Jeff and his staff. From the first phone call to the very end of our daughters wedding. Not only was the food amazing at the wedding but the entire experience working with From Scratch Catering put us at ease especially when we were approached by so many of our guests complimenting on the food and the service. I could go on about how much Jeff assisted us in the planning and how he always answered when we called and never made us feel we were imposing or bothering him but let’s just say he and his team were flawless!.

AWSOME CATERING COMPANY. Great food and great service..Highly recommended..

We used From Scratch for our Wedding and they did such a great job, our siblings used them for their as well! They were beyond professional and the food for both weddings was phenomenal!

One of the best caterers in the area. I recently worked a wedding with From Scratch and heard nothing, but amazing feedback from the guests. This is a great choice for your catering needs.

You know your food was good when all of your guests are still talking about it a month after the wedding! We couldn't be happier with From Scratch Catering. The food was delicious and kept perfectly warm for everyone. They have many options for different diets and everything is spot on. The food was a absolute highlight of the evening. Thank you From Scratch!!

From Scratch catered my husband and I's wedding this past weekend. As we went around to thank our guest, everyone raved about how good the food was. People also raved about how good the drinks were. Jeff helped A LOT through the planning process and gave me very helpful opinions. He was very easy to get ahold of for any questions. We could not have asked for a better caterer. When they arrived, they knew what to do, and didn't have to ask any questions. It was one less thing to worry about during all the festivities! Thank you!

We chose From Scratch Catering because it was on a preferred vendor list. It was a great recommendation. Many guests went out of their way to compliment the food quality and service! Jeff was easy to communicate with and took great care of us.

We hired From Scratch to cater for our rural outdoor wedding. We lived 8 hours from our caterer and wedding venue but reading the reviews and seeing the pictures, I knew they would not disappoint. Our parents did the taste testing and confirmed that the food was delicious. Jeff contacted us several times to confirm the details of our menu and was always very patient and accommodating. They arrived on time and had very friendly staff. Everyone at our wedding said how great the food was. I felt it was the best meal Ive had at a wedding, ever! Would absolutely recommend this company for any catered event!

From Scratch Catering is one of my three preferred caterers that cater within my banquet facility. They service about 95% of my weddings and are nothing less than fabulous. Jeff is a third generation caterer that is wonderful to work with, he makes the planning process fun and exciting for all of my bride and grooms. He bases his business on being “customizable” which allows my clients to have a unique experience based on their vision. From Scratch Catering also has a very professional staff that is on top of their service. I truly enjoy working with their Operations Manager Ryan and their two kitchen managers Jordan and Cailin. They contribute to the success of the overall operation and are very talented. Overall, I highly recommend this caterer for any type of function, whether it’s a wedding, corporate event or fundraiser. They will deliver a memorable experience for all.

Excellent experience with From Scratch Catering & Event Planning! Hired them for my August 2018 wedding and they did not disappoint! The whole planning process was easy and fun with Jeff and his team. Some of my guests even said it was the best wedding food they've ever had! I HIGHLY recommend Jeff and his team for any type of catered event!

Hired these guys for a reception, the food was very good. The problem I had was some of the food was room temperature and one item was cold.

The food is Amazing. I traveled to Michigan for my niece's wedding and *Frome Scratch* catered it. Not only is the food spectacular but everyone that works there is fabulous. Cailin and Alahna did a fantastic job with cutting the roast to serving drinks. The tableware was displayed in a manner that was that of a military ball, perfect. I would highly recommend *From Scratch* to anyone looking for a catering service. If I come back to MI, they will be the only ones I call for an event. : )

So glad we chose From Scratch Catering for our wedding! Very professional company, offering delicious food! We recieved so many compliments on dinner, our guest loved it.

Fantastic from start to finish for our wedding. The process of menu and table linen selections, to food timing and guest counts was a breeze (even from thousands of miles away). The food was delicious too! Would use them again, in a heart beat.

From Scratch catered a staff appreciation lunch for Swan Valley Middle School this week. It was delicious and very well-presented. It reminded me of my grandmother's home cooking!

Family enjoyed the food. Great staff!

Jeff and his staff were great to work with! The food was wonderful and people were still raving about it after the wedding! Would definitely use them again! They have many choices of food and packages for every budget.

Our family has used Jeff for several events as well as attended events hosted by others who have used him (wedding, baby shower, funeral luncheon, sports banquet, holiday dinner). Always top notch. I highly recommend for amazing food, excellent service, and great value.

Jeff was so great to work with - he has fantastic ideas and is so friendly. The food was absolutely delicious (we got so many compliments)! From Scratch catered my bridal shower and our wedding reception and my husband is already planning future events to have them cater! Their wedding package seriously cannot be beat in price or value. The service from the staff at our reception was phenomenal and we did not expect to be treated like such royalty - they carried the wedding party's plates back to the table for us! It was fantastic! My only suggestion would be to have an office manager. From Scratch is so deservedly popular that I know Jeff has his hands full, but we missed out having a tasting because we hadn't liked them on Facebook. An office manager would be able to follow up with interested parties directly.

From Scratch did a great job with our wedding the food was a big hit and I was able to order our table cloths right through them at a great rate. Jeff was so easy to talk to and was very responsive. I highly recommend them!

I originally grew up in Michigan but have lived out of state for the past 6 years. When my husband and I decided to have our wedding in Michigan, to better accommodate our families, I knew that planning everything was going to be a challenge since I would have no taste testings, no face-to-face meetings, and limited communication with the vendor I would book with. I had never heard of any of the companies I began to search, and all of them had the same type of short reviews. While great reviews help, "Excellent", "Very good food", and "Great place to cater from", cannot give you an honest sense of security and trust from a company. From Scratch Catering was the first company I called, and they were so informative that I booked them immediately and never looked elsewhere. They answered every question, no matter how many e-mails I sent, and provided detail after detail of what to expect from them. Their menu was vast and their selections covered the entire spectrum of simple to elegant. I told them the direction and feel that I wished to accomplish from my reception and let them guide my choices to achieve that; it couldn't have turned out more perfect. People still rave about the stuffed chicken, the assorted cucumber hors d oeuvres were devoured, and our only regret was that we couldn't try every item on their menu; it was THAT good! However; as good as their food was, it was their service which they provided on the most important day of my life that really shone through. I am quite convinced that any catering company could provide good food, but I doubt that any other choice on our part would have provided From Scratch's amount of class and professionalism during the event. Everything was beautifully laid out, and the staff ensured the proper flow and assistance with every. single. guest. There is not enough room in this review to be able to express how highly I regard From Scratch Catering. Simply put, you will NOT find a better catering company.

Food is delicious, service is wonderful, and Jeff is a breeze to work with. I'm part of an event committee, and we used From Scratch for our event this year - HUGE hit with event goers! People were lining up for extra helpings and could not stop complementing the food! The staff were great - easy and efficient set-up and tear-down. They were very professional, and able to accommodate necessary changes that happen at events. I highly recommend, and will book them when I need catering in the future!

Our group hosted a meeting at their location in Saginaw. Everyone commented on how amazing the food was! The staff made it very easy to plan the event and the menu selections were great. Better yet - the price made their services an excellent value!

We received so many compliments on the food from our wedding. From Scratch did a phenomenal job and the food was fantastic. We also used them for the full bar service. When they didn't think they would be able to get enough of the beer we originally wanted due to seasonal availability, they called to make sure that another option to add would be okay -- and it was a hit! Jeff was extremely accommodating through the entire process and was easy to work with. We will be using them for every catering need in the future.

The food was fantastic! I would definitely recommend the pulled pork and the cherry bbq chicken. The staff was very professional, set up and clean up were done quickly and quietly. I would definitely use you again!

We had our wedding catered and it was amazing, everyone loved the food and the staff was very friendly. Jeff is so easy to work with and was super helpful! I highly recommend them!

We worked with Jeff for our small backyard wedding and we ordered their picnic menu plus their pesto chicken with basil cream sauce. Everything was great! Especially the brats! Almost everyone said they were the best they'd ever had! Jeff was very responsive, they provided everything we needed and Jeff set everything up for us. Great to work with, great food, and generous portions. Loved everything!

The veggies & Mac and cheese was great! The pasta salad was normal, the zitti was Luke warm. If hot it would have been excellent! The place was beautiful and nice.

From Scratch Catering was recommended to us by a friend- we hired them for our wedding (for about 200 guests). Prior to the wedding they were friendly, professional, and available for any of our questions. Jeff has been in the catering business for a long time and was able to help us plan for many details we wouldn't have thought of on our own. His experience definitely shines through in his work. Jeff and his team provided us with an awesome tasting, from which we chose the majority of our wedding menu. On the wedding day they were discreet but helpful to our guests. They took care of all food-related tasks, we didn't have to worry about a thing. We got so many compliments from our guests about how amazing the food was. Our wedding was outdoors and they kept the food hot for the entire dinner. The food was flavorful and exactly as we had tasted a few months prior to our wedding. We would hire this wonderful company again for any large event. So grateful for their service on our special day!

From Scratch catered my daughter's graduation party yesterday. From the beginning, it was a very pleasant experience. They helped with the menu - offering advice from their experiences. The chefs grilled chicken and burgers in the yard...very easy and attentive fellows. Had tons of compliments on the food. My new "go to" caterer!

We had them cater our multi-family graduation this past weekend. From the timely arrival, to the beautiful set up, courteous staff and efficient clean up I have nothing but awesome things to say about From Scratch!! And that is not even mentioning the delicious, home made, perfect food!! All our guests just raved about the food, and we are still enjoying the left overs now. So very good, I will definitely be using them again for future parties.
