Occasions Catering

Occasions catered my daughter's wedding last week. The food was fantastic. They went over & above to provide one of our guests a gluten free meal, by tracking down dinner rolls & preventing cross contamination. Their Mac & Cheese is to die for! Don't hesitate to let them cater your next big event!

Marcus and his staff did a terrific job of doing our special "occasion" this past weekend, they were professional and the food was delicious. Certainly will be looking to book them for work events and such. Great experience and I highly recommend them!

It was truly a pleasure to have Occasions Catering to cater my daughters wedding on June 1, 2019. The staff was very attentive to every detail and gave excellent suggestions. The chicken, roasted turkey, pasta station, salad with homemade dressings, roasted potatoes, green beans and those delicious rolls were a hit with all the guests. The presentation was so beautiful, all the food was constantly restocked so it never ran out.We also had them provide appetizers and lemonade and tea, also wonderful. We received so many compliments on all the food.The leftovers were packed up so we could take them home with us and enjoy the food even more. I would highly using Ocasions....you will not be disappointed.

The best choice for our high school reunion we could have made. Reasonable prices, and amazing fresh yummy food! We got compliments all night about the food, everyone loved it. The service was on point, the food was hot, we are all so pleased! Thank you Thank you

HORRIFIED is the only word I can think of to describe my experience. I booked Occasions Catering in March of 2020 for my April 2021 Wedding. We had an in person tasting on February 15, 2021 and Meghan wrote down all of our choices. We discussed every detail from bartenders, to cake cutting, everything. Fast forward to a few weeks ago, we reached out to give our final numbers and request final invoice and Meghan would not answer our phone calls, texts, or emails. When she finally did, she said she did not have our final menu choices and did not recall a single detail from our in person tasting/meeting! We became concerned at that point, but asked her to send us the final invoice after we reiterated all of our choices and details. She said she would send, but never did. She stopped answering us again, so we asked our venue (who had highly recommended them) if they could get a hold of Meghan. Meghan finally answered our venue owner to say she could no longer do our wedding. She said that she knew back in December of 2020 that she probably wasn't going to be able to do our wedding, but strung us along and waited until the LAST possible minute to tell us this. I booked the caterer first because this is one of the bigger ticket items and I budgeted everything else from there. So to leave us hanging just 24 days before our wedding was horrific. She said the owner, Marcus Penick, had not paid her for the last few events and that was why she couldn't do the wedding. The owner, Marcus Penick would not confirm or deny that. He said she told him we didn't give her our final choices and that was the reason she canceled on us. None of it makes sense, the stories are conflicting and I do not think we will ever hear the truth of what really went on and the real reason for this disaster. Regardless, it was a very stressful situation to be put in. Meghan did connect us with another caterer but to be honest I do not trust a word that comes out of her mouth, so why would I trust her recommendation? One of the only caterers we found that was available this last minute was $6,000 more than I had budgeted. HUGE blow. I am writing this review so that this does not happen to someone else. THE CRAZIEST part... Meghan is still answering the business telephone and taking on new clients and events... WHAT IN THE WORLD? Beware.

This Caterer entirely ruined my sisters wedding yesterday. For a small 50 person wedding, the cost was ridiculous and even though they paid their bill in FULL months before the wedding, the caterer was still asking for money up until the day of the event. The Basic Cake clause in the contract was not explained well. The catering staff kept asking the family all night for a schedule of things even though it had been provided to them by the bride weeks earlier. They even cut the cake before the bridal couple cut the cake and were serving it during the toast! The food was cold, the displays were well done although very sparse, there was no butter provided for the rolls, salt and pepper was not provided and when asked for, was told that having salt and pepper available would be an insult to the chef.The staff was supposed to be at the hall at 2:30 PM and didn't show up until after the guests started arriving at 3:45 for a 4 PM wedding.Shameful, shameful. I will never use this caterer again nor will I recommend it to any of my clients or businesses I do business with.

I booked them for my wedding and they were excellent. The food was excellent and I could not have asked for anything else. Thank you again and please book with them!

I recently stopped by a networking event and discovered they had a grand spread set up throughout the venue - and wow, I was impressed with the food. In one corner was a beautifully decorated round table set up with sliced cheese all the way around. I loved that they were genius enough to have a round table so we could all just rotate around it and being a huge cheese fan (it's an addiction really) I sampled all 6 types. Unfortunately, there were no cards marking what type of cheese I was tasting so no clue what I ate but hey, it was tasty.At another station there was a turkey carver, slicing fresh bird and creating mini sliders with cranberry chutney. Trendy and I dig it. Another station had a server sauteing chicken and carne asada at the event. I asked for a chicken soft taco and she presented it to me on a place then directed my to the ingredient station, where I topped my freshly-made taco with cilantro, sour cream, pico, guacamole. Move a bit down and there were glass globes with tuna cuts in them - you were suppose to toss whatever ingredients you wanted in them and make a plate of chips for dipping - nice presentation!Being the fat kids we are, my friend and I hit up the dessert table before we left and snagged rock candy and mini cupcakes... to which my friend pointed at the silver glitter on top and asked if there was such a thing as edible glitter as she took a bite. I responded 'well you better hope so since you just ate it' and proceeded to munch on my rock candy.Nice presentation and from the small samples we had, excellent fare! I would definitely book them for a future event.

I used Occasions Catering for a holiday party. The food was perfect, the staff was professional and was on top of everything! They handled all of our guest wonderfully, and everyone raved at the level of service, the presentation, and quality of the food. My husband and I got to sit back and really enjoy our friends and family. We appreciate everyone there, and HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for the best of the best catering in Charlotte.

Occasions is hands-down the BEST. We have used them several times - last Christmas and this Christmas and many times in between - they always come through with the best of everything. Not only is the food amazing, the presentation is incredible, the servers are so knowledgeable and they work so well as a team. Their prices are great. They are so professional, but so warm and easy to work with. They just did a Holiday Dinner for us for 400+ people and I have already booked them for next year. They will definitely hear from us during the year, too. Once they come in the door, you can relax - they have you covered!
