Special Times was so incredible at my wedding and my bridal shower. The food and presentation were all beautiful, and Shandi was such a huge help in making my vision come to life. Will absolutely book with them in the future!

Shandi and her crew were absolutely amazing at my daughter's wedding. Food was out of this world delicious! Several guests made it a point to mention how good the food was. She had every detail perfectly managed, above and beyond the food itself. She was organized, easy to work with and knowledgeable. Her staff was professional and polite. So glad we went with Special Times for catering, thank you!!!

I cannot do justice to how amazing Shandi and her team at Special Times Catering are! The food was absolutely incredible! Every guest we spoke to at our wedding complimented us on how wonderful the meal was. The tri-tip was cooked perfectly, the chicken was so savory and their presentation was a thing of beauty. One of our out of town guests even commented that it was the best meal he had enjoyed in several months, and he’s from Las Vegas! In addition, Shandi took her time to go over every detail with us beforehand to ensure my wife got everything she wanted for our special day & that we wouldn’t be surprised by any unforeseen expenses. We highly recommend Special Times for your wedding or any large event. They definitely were one of the highlights of our wedding!

Special Times Catering is absolutely fantastic! They catered our wedding, and our guests could not stop talking about how great everything tasted and was presented.

The owners were so easy to work with and made the whole experience a breeze. I would highly recommend them, and I will use Special Times Catering for any event I have in the future!

Our experience with Shandi at Special Times Catering was absolutely amazing! My husband and I had Special Times cater our wedding last September and people are still talking about the food! It was SO good! Throughout the planning process, Shandi was so helpful and accommodated all our requests. The day of the event, the service was outstanding! After our ceremony, Shandi and a few of her employees were waiting for our wedding party with a platter of appetizers and drinks for us to have in between the ceremony and photos. Our buffet table looked amazing as well! Highly recommend!

Do not recommend. Awful food and rude and disrespectful trailer trash staff. Tri tip grey, dry and chewy. Chicken dry and tasteless.

Stay away or you will be very disappointed.

Best decision I made was hiring Special Times Catering to cater my daughter’s wedding! I initially hired another local caterer which ended up being a horrible decision and quickly cancelled that contract and booked with Mindy at Special Times Catering. I knew right away I had made the very best decision! Mindy was always so thorough and helpful with walking me through the process of planning and making decisions. They are an amazing company that handles not only the food but also the rentals along with set up, clean up and planning of the timing of events for the entire evening. When we got closer to the date, my daughter and I had an in-person meeting with Shandi, who went over every detail which really helped us think through some critical planning. Shandi was very professional, friendly and responsive to my emails. She even went out of her way to meet me the day before the wedding to pick up the linens so we could have them earlier than the day of. The day of the wedding was PERFECT! The catering staff was very professional, and all of the food was AMAZING!! If you are looking for a caterer for any event… look no further! Special Times Catering was hands down one of the best decisions I made when planning my daughter’s wedding!

Terrible food - dry tasteless chicken, chewy meets and service even worse!

Also FYI they delete the Negative Feedbacks on Yelp!
