Doug’sFarside Catering catered a wedding reception at our venue. It’s the first time he was here. We were not disappointed. Everything tasted wonderful and the servers were professional and very helpful. Hope this is the first of many visits to our venue.

We knew from the beginning that we wanted to use Doug for our wedding catering. I couldn’t get enough great feedback from our guests about how great the food was! We did a BBQ package and a taste test with Doug and he’s truly the best caterer! He was even helpful with arranging some wedding day details I hadn’t thought of!

Doug has been doing the Denison Wednesday Night Golf League end of season steak dinner for years. The guys would lynch me if I tried to switch caterers! Best steaks. Mushrooms and Onions. Salad. Baked potato, Green Beans. Roll. Desert. All the Fixings. Super nice and courteous. Sets up and cleans up. Professional in every way.

Used them yesterday to cater a Company event. Sooo amazing!! Everyone LOVED the food. Doug is very friendly and provided linens and set up our dining area beautifully. I also thought the experience was unique because the servers not only served at the buffet table but they also went table to table offering to take people's plates to the trash cans for them! Which I had never seen before. 11 out of 10!! Highly recommend their BBQ options.

We started working with Doug in 2019 to plan our wedding. Having rescheduled three times due to Covid, we finally were able to have our event on 12/31/2021. Each time we rescheduled, Doug was completely accommodating. When we inquired about his company, he was very efficient in setting up taste testing. After three previous taste tests with other companies, as soon as we tried Doug's food, we knew we were going with him. His assortment of selection was perfect and we knew that our family and friends would be more than satisfied with the quality of his food. He had multiple conversations and meetings with us prior to our event to make sure all details were accounted for. He was confident through it all and assured us that our event would be everything we wanted to be. The day prior to our event his staff set up their catering stations to meet the design that we wanted. Doug gave suggestions and made sure we were aware of all minor details; even including the flow of the serving line. The day of our wedding he was extremely professional. He made our event go smoothly and made sure our guests were served with the maximum service possible. Our guests are still raving about the food weeks later. Doug went above and beyond. He cleaned things he was not scheduled to clean, he worked vigorously with our other vendors to make sure they were doing well on their end and met any of their needs. He worked with our coordinator and DJ to make sure our event flowed well. We would recommend using him for any event. There were hiccups that came along due to staffing shortages, good shortages, etc. and Doug made sure to take care of everything on his end to provide an experience that was more than what we anticipated. His food is incredible, his professionalism at the event was top tier, and his overall service was outstanding.

I would hire Doug again for catering! That to me says a lot. He was prompt, the Taco Bar was incredible, he ensured everything was wonderful down to the smallest detail and had every step of cleanup done wonderfully. Thank you Doug! I hope I get to have an occasion to call you for service again.

Doug catered my wedding a few weeks ago and our experience with him was absolutely fantastic. The food was outstanding! The employees were great! Everything was cleaned up quickly. Doug helped us move things around and set things up that weren’t even his responsibility. I would definitely recommend.

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Doug and his crew at our wedding this past Saturday and I cannot thank them enough! They exceeded our expectations and more. Doug was so easy to work with and answered any and all questions I had no matter what time it was, or how over the top I thought the question was. I simply could not of got through this day without him!! Many, many thanks Doug.
