Thanks so much LaDonna! The food and fruit was outstanding! Everyone particularly raved over the broccoli salad. I wish that I had asked for a bunch of your business cards becuase I certainly could have passed them out. So many people wanted to know. Our thanks for a job well done!

LaDonna,
LaDonna was absolutely amazing! When we did a tasting she had every single item for our two day event made for us to sample. She made sure details weren't forgotten by lighting candles, packing up meals for my husband and myself, and cut all the cake for guests. We highly recommend the veggie lasagna and pulled pork BBQ that was a great choice for our rustic wedding weekend.
--Elizabeth




LaDonna,
We used LaDonna's Catering for both our rehearsal dinner and wedding reception and we couldn't have been more pleased! Her and her staff did all of our linens, including, table cloths, beautifully tied chair covers/bows, uniquely folded napkins...everything! It was all absolutely gorgeous! The food was hot, fresh, greatly presented, and, above all, wonderful tasting! The carving station that LaDonna offers is definitely a must, that will put your event over the top! Also, LaDonna and her staff were so helpful during planning, and executing our big day! We had such a great experience with this service! Most definitely cannot go wrong with LaDonna's Catering!

LaDonna,
I simply could not have asked for a better catering experience than the one we had with Ladonna's Catering. The food was absolutely outstanding, and we are still receiving compliments on it to this day. In fact, the food was probably the MOST complimented part of our big day. Ladonna and her team made the whole process a breeze, and they were always accommodating and flexible, making sure that we were pleased and taken care of, every step of the way. They even went above and beyond, presenting us with a complimentary gift basket as a wedding gift! The menu options were endless, there was more than enough food for everyone, the prices were very competitive, and the overall result was, again, outstanding. Not only would I use Ladonna's Catering again, but I simply can't imagine using anyone else.
--Lauren




LaDonna,
When planning my wedding I knew everything was going to be super stressful. I couldn't even imagine what all I was getting ready to get myself into with the things that were most important to me. Although figuring out who was going to do my flowers, decorations, and reception hall. I knew that the catering wasn't even a question. I had seen LaDonna's work many other times and knew that she was my first and only choice. I didn't even begin to question it. She is excellent at what she does. I have never had anyone work with me the way she did. Taking time out of her busy day to meet me at the facility where my reception was held to go every little thing. She wanted to make sure that my husband and I were both pleased with what she was doing. When getting to the reception I knew it was going to be great but she totally blew me away with everything. Her services were AMAZING! (and that is an understatement) She even gave my husband and I a basket of goodies to take with us on our honeymoon. The food left over she put into containers and gave them to us to take home to eat the next day. Not many people can say that has been their experience. I can honestly say that making LaDonna my choice for our reception was the best decision we have made. I will definitely choose her for any other occasion that needs catering. I couldn't imagine using anyone else. Thanks so much for all you did for us. We couldn't begin to tell you how much it meant to us. You are simply the best!!!:):)

LaDonna,
Ladonna's provided our rehearsal meal and reception and I could not have been more pleased! When we were invited for a taste testing session I expected a few bites of a few items. When we arrived she had prepared multiple servings of almost every item on the menu. She listened to every concern I had an offered her own suggestions but was always willing to listen. The night of our reception she went above and beyond to not only serve but the food but to make sure we felt individually catered to. The meal was delicious and the service was outstanding. I highly recommend!
--Anonymous




LaDonna,
I have worked with many catering companies over the past 17 years. I can honestly say LaDonna's Catering takes it to a whole new level. The food is out of this world delicious!!! I often pass on meals during reception but when I know they are the catering company I make sure to eat EVERY time!!! Ladonna and her staff are very professional and once you meet them you will feel like you have known them your whole life! They go out of their way to make sure every guest is taken care of! If you want great food with a staff that cares LaDonna's catering is the only choice to consider!!!!

LaDonna,
LaDonna, Thanks for the great job you did last Friday night. We really appreciate all that you did, the price that you did it for, and the great follow-up and thoroughness you demonstrated even in the clean-up process. I’m sure we will be doing business again. I’m sure we will be doing business again soon. Thanks for the job well done.
--Michael Bryant




LaDonna,
LaDonna, Thank you for everything! You went above and beyond expectations and that is what makes your business great. Everyone was definitely impressed and commented on how good the food was. You definitely made my job very easy. Thank you and hope to work with you again.
--Carol Crawford




LaDonna,
I just wanted to send a note to say thank you for doing such an amazing job at my reception with the chocolate fountain. It was a huge hit. You were great to work with and I will highly recommend you in the future. Thanks for packing us some of the leftovers-we ate them all on our honeymoon. I think I gained a 1000 pounds due to the chocolate. But it was great! Thanks again.
--Jessica Sizemore




Dear LaDonna,
Applaud! Applaud! What a wonderful job you did Friday evening for the Sounds of London event. We have really wanted to bring the fine arts to the Center and you have certainly helped us in doing so with the fine dining event in conjunction with the entertainment. I don’t know if the Cornish hens or the chocolate fountain was the most impressive, but our feedback has been fabulous. When we plan events like this for the community, we can’t afford not to offer the best quality food and service. You and your staff were just remarkable in doing so. I timed your service of the main entrée and it was less than 20 minutes, which was absolutely remarkable. Everyone has remarked that the service was excellent and the taste was great, and the food that was supposed to be hot was hot and that which was supposed to be chilled was chilled. Great job! We will certainly be using you in upcoming events.
--Helen Smith




Hey LaDonna,
Thank you once again for helping to make Brittany’s and Joe’s wedding reception an exceptional event. I must say that I had reservations about using the community center when we started planning; however, I thought the set up was wonderful and accommodated the large crowd really well. The color scheme was beautiful and the chair covers pulled the whole look together. The food was absolutely wonderful. (My immediate family wants the recipe for the salad dressing! LOL) Jennifer was right about the meat selections. I think both the roast beef and ham were some of the best I have ever had. Our guests raved about the food. That is a hard task to achieve when serving that many people and it is rare to get really good food at large events. You were able to move approximately 400 people through the line in such a short time! You did a great job cutting and serving the cake. I think Joe’s Mamaw was so pleased. People told me that they had a slice of each flavor! One way to success is feeding a group well and quickly. By getting the wedding party there by 7:30, it helped keep everything moving and I think made it a huge success. I have had so many people contact me and tell me how much they enjoyed the reception. Many people wanted to know who did the catering. They had such a good time. The photographer, who was from Knoxville, couldn’t say enough about the organization of the whole wedding. I give you all the credit for making the reception such a success. Not that you will need it, but if you ever need a recommendation, please feel free to use me as a reference. I will be telling everyone how you made this so easy for us!!! Please thank your staff for us as well!!!!!!
--Brenda Hurley
