What They're Saying...
- While the team at Visions Catering & Floral was prompt, responsive and professional in their communication, the quality of their work left much to be desired. The food they served was dry and barely seasoned, not at all what we had contracted for. The presentation was also quite poor, not at all reflective of the elegant affair we had envisioned. To their credit, they did provide us with a 15% refund, but I wish I had pushed for more given how dissatisfied we were with their overall performance on our special day. The food at the tasting was much better than on the actual wedding day (do not pick an item you did not taste). I did not taste the salmon at the tasting. On the wedding day the salmon was dry with no trace of the bourbon sugar glaze we had contracted for. The steak was also very dry. The presentation was subpar. The broccoli was so overcooked it was white. However, the passed appetizers (bruschetta and meatballs were good). While the rest of our wedding was amazing, the poor quality of the catering left a bad taste in the guest mouth, both literally and figuratively. Guests are still talking about the poor food that was served at our wedding. If I had to do it over again, I would have chosen a different catering company.read moreread lessJasmine J.10/07/2024
- Our caterer was absolutely amazing! From start to finish, Gene treated us with the utmost care and attention, making sure we were never hungry or thirsty throughout the day. They really kept a close eye on us and didn’t miss a beat, which we deeply appreciated, especially on such a busy day. I’m a picky eater, so the extra attention they gave to making sure I got exactly what I wanted was a huge relief. The food was delicious—our guests couldn’t stop raving about the teriyaki salmon! One of the highlights was at the end of the night when they surprised us with a neatly packaged box of leftovers. We enjoyed it the next day, and it was just as good as we remembered. If you’re looking for a vendor who combines excellent service with delicious food, this is the one. They truly made our wedding day even more special!read moreread lessAK G.8/25/2024
- I recently had the pleasure of working with Vision's Catering for our wedding, and I cannot recommend them enough. From start to finish, they were a dream to work with, making our special day even more memorable with their exceptional service. One of the first things that drew us to Vision's Catering was their flexibility and affordability. They were incredibly accommodating to our budget and worked closely with us to tailor a package that suited our needs perfectly. Their pricing was very reasonable for both the quantity and quality of food provided, which was a big relief as we were managing costs without sacrificing taste. We took advantage of one of their monthly specials by putting down a deposit, which allowed us to indulge in a stunning dessert display that was an instant hit with our guests. The variety and presentation were impeccable, and it added a delightful touch to our celebration. Communication with Vision's Catering was always smooth and efficient. They were responsive and helpful throughout the planning process, which gave us confidence that everything would run smoothly on the big day. One key takeaway from our experience is the importance of being explicit about your needs and expectations with the catering team. Based on our research and previous reviews, we found that clearly communicating what you want significantly increases the likelihood that the team will deliver on those specifics. For example: asking ahead of time that the bride & groom be served directly regardless of the buffet setup. This spared us from having to navigate through the crowd, and seems like a no-brainer. However, make sure to ASK for this service ahead of time, rather than just expecting it! Same thing with providing extra to-go boxes and packing up the leftover food, desserts, and cake for us to enjoy later. Just ask ahead of time and they will take care of it! The tasting appointment was a highlight for us. It was complimentary, even before we had committed to a contract, and the staff made us feel incredibly special. They were attentive, knowledgeable, and ensured that every dish we sampled was prepared to perfection. However, it’s important to note that the quality of food for a small tasting will differ from that served to a large crowd on the big day. We were more focused on affordability rather than the highest possible quality of food, and Vision’s Catering met our expectations perfectly in this regard. The food was still great, and everyone was very happy. I was particularly pleased that there were no hidden fees; no cake cutting fee and no bussing fee. The tables were kept clean throughout the evening, a testament to their attention to detail and commitment to excellent service. In conclusion, Vision's Catering was a delight to work with. Their dedication to customer satisfaction, coupled with their seamless execution, made them an invaluable part of our wedding day. I wholeheartedly recommend them to any couple looking for a caterer with great communication and affordability. If you're planning your special day, do yourself a favor and consider Vision's Catering. Be sure to communicate your needs clearly, and you won’t be disappointed!read moreread lessLauren W.8/03/2024
- Both pre-wedding and during the wedding they were professional and helpful! During the event the staff was incredibly friendly and lively.

- Culinary Visions was absolutely AMAZING - the service, the food, the staff were all wonderful. They catered our wedding at Bella Collina, and I could not recommend them enough!! Gene was personally there to make sure everything exceeded our expectations, and they definitely did. And beyond!! The food is spectacular.. like some of the best I’ve ever had. I never thought I’d have food that good at our wedding!! The food at the tastings was exactly the same on the day of, and they had so many options to choose from. Not to mention - they allowed us to personalize our meal selection as the bride and groom to anything we wanted. He even sent us home with 2 full meals for the next day. I can’t thank Gene and Tracy enough for making our day that much more perfect. They were easy to work with, professional, and so so accommodating. 10/10 recommend!!!read moreread lessMikki B.7/17/2023
- Gene and his team have breakfast every Thursday morning at the Guilford Merchant Association’s BizLinks Networking group. It is alway so great! He always delivers a great spread of breakfast items- cheesy eggs, bacon, sausage, grits, toast and fruit. I would recommend Culinary Vision to anyone- their breakfast, lunch and dinners are so good.read moreread lessHolly H.4/17/2023
- Delicious delicious food! We got their champagne chicken, mac n cheese, and mixed veg buffet option. It was so delicious and tasteful. I highly recommend their risotto balls as an appetizer! Everything we tried during their tasting was so good that it made it hard to choose! They are also sweet because they give you a basket of everything that was served so the couple can enjoy it the next day. They are very professional and respectful. 10/10 service. Highly recommend!read moreread lessJulia R.4/17/2023
- 5 stars! We had them cater our wedding and hands down they have the BEST catering food I’ve ever had! Everything was delicious, warm, and beautifully prepared.

Even our tasting session was so well put together .read moreread lessTaylor P.2/17/2023
- Culinary Visions is absolutely incredible! They catered our wedding and our guests cannot stop RAVING about how good the food was! One of the most important things to my husband and I for our wedding was our food. We made it clear that we didn’t want the typical wedding fare. Instead, we opted for Southern Comfort foods. I’m from Charleston and can be pretty picky about my southern food. Everything they made was fantastic, but their shrimp and grits and pulled pork rivaled some of the BEST restaurants that I’ve ever been to! I also wanted to include something southeast Asian to incorporate something from my culture. Their chicken satay with the dipping sauce was so authentic! We are very happy with our decision with choosing Culinary Visions for our wedding. Some of our guests are still talking about the food! They also provided sangria for our wedding, which was delicious! Gene and his staff have gone above and beyond at both of our food tastings and at our actual wedding!read moreread lessKelly N.12/17/2022
- Culinary Visions catered our wedding through Bella Collina and I must say they are absolutely wonderful.

The private tasting we had was awesome, the food was hot and delicious, and the champagne chicken sold us right away! Throughout the entire process they were very communicative and understanding with all of our questions. We got the shrimp bouchees, fruit skewers with sherry creme sauce, and spinach artichoke dip for cocktail hour and it was all delicious! We got the champagne chicken and bourbon steak for dinner and it was cooked perfectly and many guests told us they went back for 3rds and 4ths it was so good.

- The best wedding caterer EVER!!!!! The food was absolutely delicious and I've gotten so many messages from guests saying how much they loved it. The prices are fantastic and the quality is top-notch.

- We hired Culinary Visions Catering as our caterer for our wedding at Castle McCulloch on November 16, 2021, and overall we highly recommend them! AMAZING food and an extremely friendly and caring chef. My only issue was with email correspondence, as this is a very busy time for weddings, and I had to sometimes follow up more than once before I got a response. On the day of the wedding, we had absolutely AMAZING appetizers and an outstanding dinner. We wanted Peruvian food, so we worked with the chef and gave him the two recipes for the two dishes we wanted, and they came out great!read moreread lessAshley T.12/17/2022
- I had them cater my wedding at Castle McCulloch and they were amazing. Not only was Melinda (I believe her name was) a fantastic help on the phone, she also was so incredibly kind, I felt like I was her own daughter getting married, or something. Everyone that works here through email or phone was so, so kind. In person, they were somehow even nicer on our special day. We got veggies, a chicken with white gravy, red potatoes, bread, etc. Employees stood by the whole dinner to help everyone get their food. I had a small wedding of only about 35 people or less. During the meal, one of the employees was so so kind and made myself and my husband a plate, as well as my disabled grandparents who I'm not sure they would've known have trouble walking. They were so attentive, and did above and beyond. If I could have the food every day, I would. At the end, one of the employees even made plates for my husband and I to take home. She wrapped them up so well that they survived the 5 hour car ride back to Virginia. Everything about their work, presentation, incredible service attitude from front to end was stellar. I could not recommend them more if I tried. The food was also reasonably priced for the service and quality. I have guests calling and telling me how much they loved the food. Truly an amazing experience and I appreciate all they did for me on my wedding day.read moreread lessFotia T.12/17/2022

- We found Visions through one of the many wedding planning sites. They had incredible reviews and I was incredibly excited to work with them. Everything was a pretty smooth and easy process until a few weeks before our wedding. Unfortunately we had to change our date and communication started getting sparse. We would have to call/email multiple times to get a response. Picking out linens was not the easiest process. Instead of being shown what linens they had, I was shown what linens they thought I may like or they liked which made the decision process more difficult. On the day of our wedding, they arrived late. The linens we picked were covered in stains and the overlays chosen were not the right color and couldn’t be used. The color linens they sent were covered in bleach stains and again, could not be used. All of this I am trying to work through while getting my hair and makeup done. After our ceremony, the passed horderves never made it to the bridal party or family members while we were taking pictures. In fact, no one was aware we had these until a guest at our wedding had to tell the waiters to come serve the bride and groom. Our guests shared there were no warming plates so all the food was cold. We were given BUTTER KNIVES to cut a steak and the food was not what we had tasted during our tasting. It was incredibly disappointing that this was the outcome for something we were so excited about.read moreread lessL G.5/14/2021

"We accidentally ran into Culinary Visions at a Bridal Show the day before we were set to interview them. At the interview, they had remembered things we said at the show and prepared dishes they knew we liked. They were personable and very flexible in providing split entrees, kids dishes, vegetarian dishes, and a special custom dish for the father of the bride. Toward the end of our wedding planning process, they were very difficult to get in touch with. We later learned that it was because they were busy planning a large event, but I could not get in contact with them for weeks, and this was about two months before the wedding. On the wedding day, my husband and I had a personal server for our sweetheart table. Our guests enjoyed the food."
