Made From Scratch

I used Made from Scratch to cater my (awesome) casual wedding reception. Originally, we had planned on simply ordering food, having it delivered and doing it all ourselves. We’d save money, have food we liked and all would be grand. Then I started thinking about all the things we’d need to buy/​bring/​clean-​up after and my head nearly exploded. So, I hit up Unilocal for some suggestions and started looking around for caterers. Boy, am I glad that I did!
I sent in an email and was quick contacted by Lauren Dillon. She was friendly, helpful and professional. We talked about what our event was going to be and what we were looking for and settled on a theme for the food. «Fun, non-​fussy, easy to eat» was the order of the day. Within a couple of days, I have a proposal for a menu from Lauren. We had some specific food allergies that we need to work around and Lauren/​MFS were super accommodating.
On the day of our reception, the 2 staff members were prompt and completely set-​up by the time we arrived. We literally had nothing to do! And the staff were fabulous. They took care of everything. They boxed up the leftovers as meals which were «donated» to the staff at our venue. I heard nothing but compliments about the food from our guests. While we may have paid a bit more than we would have doing it ourselves, being able to enjoy my reception without having to worry about refreshing trays or trash duty was worth every penny. I would gladly use Made From Scratch again when planning a larger event!

Made From Scratch is the best caterer in my mind. I just had my party last Sunday. I placed my order just two weeks before the party but they paid attention to every details for my party.
It was fantastic and the food was really impressive. Lauren Dillon, the saleswoman from MFS was very nice, supportive and professional. Mary and Bobbi were very nice too. All my guests loved the food. My favorite is the fruits and desserts. My husband’s favorite is iced lemonade. And the chicken wings and hams are awesome too. And I need to say the rice I ordered from them is one of the best I have ever had (Many of our guests are from Asian).
I really feel lucky that I chose MFS for my party!

I used Made From Scratch for a catered event at my workplace, and I was pleased with the service I received.
I was overwhelmed with the menu choices, but they put together a menu for me that was exactly what I needed.
With Made From Scratch you get more food than you even realize. I booked a heavy hors d’oeuvres reception for 75 people. We actually had about 115 people and there was still a lot of food leftover. I guess that would depend on how hungry your guests are, but even though this reception was at dinner time, it was still more than enough!
At delivery time, I was nervous because the driver was about 15 minutes later than I was told and hadn’t called me. However, he was able to set up and have everything ready in time despite the fact that the previous session let out early. So my nerves were unwarranted because they obviously built in extra time in case of traffic or whatever.
I had tried the honey and Brie grilled cheese at a Unilocal event in the brewery district last year, and knew I needed to have that on the menu! It was a big hit with my guests! Other favorites were the prosciutto d’parma grilled asparagus and the chicken numaki with a barbeque glaze.
I would definitely order from this caterer again, especially the three items I mentioned.

Used these folks for my wedding and our holiday parties. They provide as little or as much as you need. Excellent prices and customer service. See you next year!!!

This was the best catering I could ask for! They gave me exactly what I was looking for at my event. And the price was outstanding! I’ve been to a few events they’ve catered for before, and I have never been disappointed. Such a great job!

If you need a catered event, look no further, Made From Scratch is a no brainer. I have had the pleasure of sampling their food in the past at several parties and liked it so much I decided to hire them for my daughter’s high school graduation party and I am so glad I did. My point person, Lauren Dillon, contacted me immediately and from there made the process painless. The staff was professional and very friendly, the food fantastic and the service excellent. Every guest left satisfied and then some. My highest recommendation goes to Made From Scratch.

We used Made from Scratch for our Red, White & Boom Party, and were thoroughly satisfied and as thrilled with the food as our guests. Our experience with MFS and Selena Vasquez was excellent. Selena was very responsive to our needs, and ensured that everything was to our order, and delivered on time. Selena confirmed everything promptly in writing, with each change we made. The MFS staff who delivered and set up our food were professional and courteous, and made sure to answer any questions we might have. The food was beautifully displayed and delicious. We will absolutely use MFS and Selena again, and highly recommend them both.

They did a great job. The food was amazing and our planner Kimberly was very easy to work with. She made sure that all of our expectations were exceeded. I will definitely use them for our next event.

I have attended a number of events that Made From Scratch has catered and the food has always been outstanding. We have also used them our self’s for events at our office they always do a great job with the food and staff is always friendly.
I have and will continue to refer them to friends, family and business associates

About a year ago, I had a wedding to plan at the Franklin Park Conservatory and I called all of the caterers on the list of accepted vendors. When I spoke to — at Made From Scratch, I was initially quite interested, as she was very excited and willing to meet up in person instead of sending me details over email. She set up a time to meet up with me at a Borders.
In the meantime, — sent me an email to inquire as to an estimate of number of people and budget. Considering this was my first wedding, I replied with a number, not really knowing the details of how to budget. She immediately called and said it was FAR too low and I would need to re-​adjust. I said okay, that wouldn’t be a problem– I just had no clue how much we would be spending yet, as I was unsure as to how many people would be coming. I told her we could go over details at the meeting.
So the following Tuesday, at our planned time, I waited at Borders with my fiancé… and was stood up. For a good hour, we waited, not really sure if something happened. I called and left a message at her office, concerned that something might have happened. Never heard back.
Talk about class.
