Recently hosted an event at Frazier through my work and we used Bristol Catering. We had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Bristol and the food was phenomenal. I would use Bristol again!Fallout to Libby for being super friendly and to all the serving staff!

Theifs! We borrowed tablecloths for the wedding an they were missing the MAC viewed security footage and the Bristol took them and gave them to another vendor and after I asked for reimbursement since I had to order some new ones to return, I was told, "I am sorry, they are instructed to take everything out of venue.." So apparently they are trained to take stuff that they did not bring. I will not be a returning customer because this truly left a bad taste in my mouth and if you have some of your own stuff beware b/c they are trained to take it!The food was fair at best but there was no salt or pepper available. The bride and groom were paying for the bridesmaids and groomsmen only drinks and they served random people for free that we got charged for. Didn't bring the champagne for the toast...

Great caterer. A group of us came from all over the US to catch up for a 50th BD celebration and to cross the Bourbon trail and your lovely city off our bucket list. I emailed Bristol and all I said was "What can you put together for my group that we can eat, either in the limo van or at piknik tables during our day of distillery tours?" Chef's assistant came back at me with the perfect, I mean absolute perfect box lunch and snack menu to provide nourishment that was well suited to our Bourbon day. The limo driver was kind enough to pick our lunch up at 7am. Everything was clearly marked, we had a couple of vegetarians in the group and there meals were delicious as well. All in all great experience, polite charmingly southern staff to deal with and they make it easy peasy to plan your event.

Libby K. and her team at Bristol Catering catered my brother's wedding reception at the Peterson-Dumesnil House in Louisville. It was everything we hoped for. The food was delicious and exactly as ordered. And food is the most important part of any event! The bartender was personable and knowledgeable. The servicing staff was efficient and invisible... Let me also tell you that it was a pleasure working with Libby during the planning phase. Many times I'd present a "situation" to her, and she would instantly have the best solution, or, multiple suggestions. She was reliable, friendly, and part of our team. Thanks Libby!

Incredibly excellent service, planning, support as well as delicious food! Emilie Pfeiffer of Bristol Catering literally made my wedding dreams come true. We had a partially catered potluck wedding that was a little complicated and more than a little unusual. Emilie and her staff sailed through all of it and made it work beautifully. Where we were disorganized, they stepped in and filled the gaps. Not to mention that everyone that worked that night was just plain kind. I felt like hugging them all as they left. If you hire Bristol for your event you will not be disappointed. Thanks Bristol!

The Bristol recently catered our wedding and we couldn't have been more pleased. Besides the food being great, it was really the staff that impressed us the most. Everybody from the top down were so kind, gracious and professional. The head of catering, Emily, helped us with the planning in ways we could have never done ourselves. She was wonderful to work with! Half of the food was a potluck and she made sure all was kept uniform on the table. She even made personalized cards for each dish so we knew who made what. That was a very nice touch. I will recommend the Bristol for anytime anywhere and any event!

I cannot say enough good things about the Bristol Catering team located on-site at the Mellwood Arts Center in Louisville, KY. My company held a multi-day, multi-room event at Mellwood and used Bristol to cater the event...we had to be the most difficult customer of the year and this team was so amazingly fluid and adaptable, meeting our ever changing needs with such professionalism and grace. I highly recommend anyone planning an event at the Mellwood Arts Center, or any other venue that allows outside caterers, to consider the Bristol Catering team at Mellwood.

We hired Bristol for our bartending services only. Bartenders weren't the most experienced, but they still got the job done! At one point they ran out of vodka and tequila, but they were able to fix the issue quickly. However, make sure when you pay for the " unlimited" per person, they bring enough for your guests. Emilie (at the corporate office) was a pleasure to work with, and accommodated our needs.

We had Bristol's cater our event for the holiday this group seem to be very professional when I made my reservations, they have been doing this for a while so I thought that this would be a great option to my disappointment the food was not very good, the rolls were too hard to even cut very stale, the chicken was horrible I could not even cut the chicken due to it being like rubber, I just figured maybe I got a bad piece but after asking our group about how the food tased the flood gates opened up about how horrible the food was. I explained to management that we were not very happy with the food the response I got was that when she asked the staff that were working the event if there were any complaints there wasn't so with that said I was told based on that the food was good however it wasn't. I am very disappointed with this catering company and would not recommend this place to anyone based on the quality of the food the only edible item was the mashed potatoes and dessert. I normally don't like to complain I know that it is hard to feed a lot of people but this is what they are supposed to do, that is what I was paying for. I am very disappointed with the response that I got along with the food.
