RUDE, DISHONEST, UNPROFESSIONAL THIEVES. The food tastes good and that is the only nice thing I have to say about this company. I would never have selected them to cater our wedding after the first interaction with them but they were the exclusive caterer at our venue. From the first consultation the staff member we worked with was unable to produce an itemized invoice or give explanation for how fees and costs were calculated. Furthermore, their quotes are only good for seven days and after waiting many days to hear back from their staff (past the 7 days) they tried to say that our quote had expired and the rates had gone up. While we were finally able to gain some semblance of resolution on the invoice the final straw came at the wedding. Upon completion of our buffet dinner the servers approached our wedding coordinator and informed her that gratuity was not included. My husband and I discussed it with our coordinator and decided to take the servers business card and send an appropriate tip later. We thought this solved the issue. However, upon reviewing his credit card bill the following week my father-in-law noticed there was a charge from This Little Piggy for $450. When he called to dispute it the owner told him that the charge was for the servers ($150 each) and that my father-in-law had asked for them to do this. This was an absolute fabrication. Upon correcting him, the owner of the company told my FIL to "have a nice life" and offered no apology or resolution. This Little Piggy did not offer to investigate or check into the matter. This company is nasty and dishonest. They will steal from you and then call you a liar. We ended up reporting the charge as fraud to the credit card company, informed the venue and still havent heard anything further in the way of an apology. AVOID THIS COMPANY IF YOU CAN!!!

Amazing. 1.5 years later and I am still craving their food. We did the basic package of their food, 5 sides, and them giving the paper plates and utensils. We did not do the fancy linens, real china and such because it simply was not in the budget. The day of came with 2 staff members. Wonderful personalities, very helpful. It went great. Everything was as it said it would be, prices, time, ect. They also only charged a falt cake cutting fee (where some cost $1.25 a slice), so that really saved us. It was amazing. I still run into family and they rave about the mac-n-cheese. Only bit of advice I would give, is once you give them a number, you cannot go under it. It ended up not being a problem, just wish I would have known. I also liked that we got to keep the left overs (snacked on the whole honeymoon/roadtrip) and that you can also serve your handmade food as well. Veggie option as well.

This Little Piggy was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We had a private venue and they were completely understanding of our space and time. Abby is a dream to work with, through my multiple idea changes, requests, and questions. The catering and bar staff were wonderful on the day of the wedding. The bar tenders put up with our intoxicated guests with professionalism and grace. My husband and I were laughing with them at the end of the night. Oh! and the FOOD! We still have people complimenting us on the food! We had the whole hog roast, corn bread, summer pasta salad, and grilled asparagus. The pork was moist and tender. It made wonderful sandwiches! Im just bummed we didnt have any left overs to take home! (Our guests ate all of it!) If you are questioning whether or not to have TLP cater, dont! They are wonderful, talented folks.

BUYER BEWARE: I dont find this company to be good or honest. We hire caterers for various events 2-3 times per year, and thought we would give this one a try. As a client, you are UNABLE to reduce your food amount, which weve never come across before with a caterer. So, you arent able to call a week (or a month, or two months) before the event and tell them to reduce the head count by 10. "That isnt our policy. Please see your contract." We didnt receive much of the food we expected (paid for 158, only 70 showed and there was only scraps leftover. When questioned, they wished me a good life.) Dont waste your money with this group---the food may be fine but the business practices are unacceptable.

This Little Piggy Catering was amazing. Our wedding was 5/31/14. Their office staff was very helpful gracious in answering all of my questions and made great recommendations on the food and services they offered. The serving staff the day of my wedding was GREAT - they were very nice and all came up to give me a hug or congratulate us. The food was AWESOME. We had a fajita buffet and cheese enchiladas, and our guests raved about the food. Also, the ice cream sundae bar was a huge hit, and the piggy wing appetizers were the best! We got the Vintage Wedding Package, and it was definitely worth it to us. I would absolutely recommend them to everyone for their event.

I had This Little Piggy Catering come in and do an event for our Church, Summit Church, in a very short time to plan. Not only did they work with us for our budget, but they provided the best service and food that everyone loved! Their service staff was top notch, and helped in every aspect, and they were so caring and friendly! I also want to say, that even calling them to set this up, they were so helpful. And they would keep me informed with everything right up to the event. I would recommend This Little Piggy to anyone and everyone who is planning some type of event.

They catered our wedding May 20th, 2016 at Bloom Lake Barn. They were amazing! Best food we have ever had at a wedding. Mac and cheese and the roast turkey were our favorites, but everything was great. Easy company to work with, very responsive. The set up, service, and clean up all went smoothly; with no over sight needed. We get compliments every day on how much people loved the food at our wedding. We would definitely recommend to anyone for their future catering needs. Thanks for helping make our day so perfect and impressing all of our family and friends!

I used this little piggy catering for my wedding this summer. The food was good however the service was extremely poor. They double booked the night of our wedding, therefore were in a rush to leave. I had specifically asked to have tables bused numerous times, thenthe night of the wedding they stated that it was not on the contract so they would not provide the service. We offered to pay more money and they were still unwilling to help. My friends and family graciously stepped in and helped. I would not recommend this catering company to future brides.

If you are looking for a caterer that you can trust to create an experience for your guests to exceed their expectations...you should go with This Little Piggy! We found their customer service, responsiveness, food presentation and taste to be unbelievable! The mashed potato martini bar was one of the guest favorites! This Little Piggy was amazing and really left an impression on both us and our guests! James and his entire staff were friendly, professional and left no stone unturned!
