Catering With a Twist

Fantastic Caterers! Catering With A Twist is truly a caterer with a passion for perfection. Kassie loves what she does and it shows in the food, the presentation, and the service. The entire evening went off with out a hitch and the food was amazing, exactly what we had wanted plus more. I highly recommend CWAT as we have used them many times and they always exceed our expectations, thank you Kassie and staff!

Catering with a Twist is AMAZING! The food and service are great. Kassie, is wonderful, she is creative and patient and willing to come up with a food menu that fits your wedding budget. I loved everything they did and we had several guests comment on the good quality of the food. I would highly recommend them.

Besides my husband, food is the greatest love of my life. So picking out a caterer was the most important aspect of our wedding planning. At the recommendation of both the venue and our wedding planner, we were lucky enough to book Catering With A Twist. Kassie was so friendly and helpful, answering emails and phone calls super quickly. She made us feel like we’d known her forever. We had a lot of fun picking out our menu (there were so many amazing choices!) and she was super accommodating when we changed the menu and guest count up. I mean, I ended up serving Chicken and Waffles, a Fajita and Empanada station, and a Mediterranean buffet at my wedding. That’s unheard of. My guests (many from NYC, those snobs) were blown away! Wedding food is supposed to be mediocre at best, but Catering With A Twist made it delicious, beautiful, and fun! In addition to our stations and passed appetizers, we also used CWAT for our bartending, serving, and table setting needs. The staff was so super friendly, it felt like they were guests at the wedding! I loved that. And the table settings, with mismatched antique china, were perfect for the vintage «Blue Moon» theme we were going for. Our wedding was a little zany, with a choreographed bridal party number, Horah dance, and a surprise appearance by an Elvis impersonator, and Catering With A Twist brought that same joyous energy (and deliciousness) to the party. I’m still dreaming of those chicken and waffles!

Kassie and her team were awesome to work with! The food was amazing and plentiful. We have received many compliments from our guests regarding the taste and variety to choose from. We also loved the personalization of the display to incorporate our wedding theme! We would highly recommend using Kassie and her team to create your dream wedding feast!

I used CWAT for both catering and bartending services for my wedding. They are on my venue’s preferred vendor list and they happened to have a tasting event around the time I needed to book a caterer. The staff was so kind and to top it off, we were VERY impressed with the food! I didn’t bother looking elsewhere and signed a contract that very day. Kassie responded to my emails as if I was the only person she was working with. She answered all kinds of questions, put up with all my rounds of changes and offered advice based on her experience, all with enthusiasm. She even took care of me a few months before the wedding when I realized I hadn’t booked bartenders! Not only were they a pleasure to work with, but I got SO many compliments on the food! My old boss, who is an executive chef for a large restaurant group, raved about the food as well as the staff! It’s not often you hear «the food was incredible» at a wedding and I heard about it more than once. The vintage china they had available to rent was the perfect touch to my décor. I am so ecstatic that I got to work with them for my wedding day. I will recommend them over and over for any catered event! Professional, caring staff and a fantastic product!

CWAT did a fabulous job at our wedding! We hired them for catering as well as bartending services. Not only was the staff very accommodating and SUPER easy to work with over the months leading to the wedding, but the food was the BEST food I’ve ever had at a wedding. Kassie and her team will go above and beyond with any requests you may have to make your wedding day feel uniquely you. They wore vintage aprons to fit the feel of our Southern wedding. Also, we requested banana pudding as a dessert and I got more compliments by guests about how cute the individually sealed mason jars with pudding were.
You will not be disappointed with the food or service if you book!

Catering with a Twist did a wonderful job catering my wedding in April! They were incredibly easy to work with and had lots of delicious-​sounding suggestions right off the bat. I’m a vegetarian, my husband eats everything. Our only ideas were Texas barbecue and LOTS of sides, and of course mashed potatoes. Once we got those squared away, we basically said yes to every appetizer they suggested and away we went! Everything went very smoothly on the day of the wedding, and the food was absolutely. freaking. fantastic. Five stars all around and I would for sure hire them again if I lived in Austin.

Disclaimer: I am the mother of the bride, but since I paid for the wedding, I decided I would write my own review. My daughter also wrote her own separate review.
1) We hired a wedding planner through catering with a twist. We had met with her several times. Four weeks before the wedding a new wedding planner showed up to the scheduled appointment and everything my daughter wanted had to be re-​explained to her. On the actual wedding day, the wedding planner did not even show up. The owner/​manager? of catering with a twist became the «wedding planner» along with trying to manage the catering.
2) I had purchased a monogrammed runner for the aisle. The «wedding planner» forgot to put it down until she was reminded and then was running around looking for it. The ceremony was slightly delayed until she found it and was able to hurriedly laid down until she found it.
3) The food: The food was served cold. The dinner rolls tasted like they had just been taken out of the refrigerator. The scant salad was served first. Then 15 minutes later the mashed potatoes come out and then 15 minutes later the meat portion of the meal was served. Service was SLOW! It was apparent they were not prepared to serve 180 people.
The two vegetarian plates that we requested and paid for were the leftover appetizers served cold.
4) The servers appearance was inappropriate. For example, one waiter had an oversized black sweatshirt with the hoodie on.
5) We had paid catering with a twist to serve wine during dinner. About 25 minutes into the dinner, the «wedding planner «had to be reminded about this. She then designated ONE person to serve wine to 180 people. Again, service for this was SLOW!
6) My daughter had purchased a cake topper for the wedding cake. Again, the «wedding planner» forgot and this was never placed on the cake.
These are just some of the things that went wrong that day. I have never written a review before, but I was so disappointed in the service and food I feel compelled to do so.
There are many other options in Austin! Try something other catering with a twist so you won’t be disappointed like I was.

Cassie, the owner, was great to work with. I had hundreds of questions and she was always quick to answer them — which is always great when you’re in «planning mode» and just want to know!
The thing that drew me to CWAT was it’s unique food display options and the variety of packages — which can really help pull the theme of your wedding together. Ours was rustic and Cassie made sure to take a look at our Pinterest board and asked a ton of questions about the decorations and theme we were going for to ensure all food displays fit into the wedding.
The food was really good too. We had a variety of cuisines via stations so there were a lot of different elements to prepare. My only complaint was that the food was slightly warm rather than hot but again, that’s something to consider when catering an event and a difficult feat to achieve for any cater.
During out tasting we missed out on tasting the falafel (to us, an important element of one of the stations) so Cassie made sure to have the falafel specially prepared for us prior to the wedding so we could taste it. This out of the normal gesture really showed CWAT’s customer service! And as for the falafel, it was a hit and one of the items our guests marked as their favorite of the night.
Cassie’s staff was also wonderful to have at the event. Everyone was friendly, smiling and attentive. You can tell Cassie takes special care in picking her employees and values them as family. We also had CWAT bartend our wedding and the special little touches at the bar such as the mixed nuts really shows that CWAT pays attention to detail!

When I first began planning my wedding, one of my biggest frustrations was with trying to find a caterer. I didn’t want the same old so-​so wedding food. If I was throwing a party this big for all of my friends, I wanted to eat something I actually LIKE. On top of that, I was planning a wedding for a Saturday night, so many of the caterers I researched had (what I considered to be) a completely unreasonable catering minimum. I stressed. I yanked my hair out. I considered getting married in Vegas by an Elvis impersonator instead.
Enter Kassie of CWAT. Within minutes of meeting with her, I knew she was somebody that I would like to work with — just a total sweetheart and a really cool lady. Then she started bringing food out to my then-​fiancé and me and we knew we had found our caterer.
Our menu, first of all, was just fun! I’m talking chicken and waffle bites, meatloaf cupcakes, salads with grilled peaches, stuffed pork loin with bacon gravy, and some ridiculously good mac and cheese. And those are just the highlights! Everyone raved about how good the food was, and I have finicky friends. I considered letting out the corset on my dress a lil’ bit so I could stuff my face some more, but a bridesmaid served as the voice of reason and dragged me away from the bacon gravy before I got a chance to lick the plate. Now THAT would have been a wedding pic to show the grandkids.
Not only was the food excellent, but the service was flawless as well. The staff was attentive, but not obtrusive at all. They dressed to match our theme, which I thought was really great! Also, since I had a «vintage/​rustic» theme going on, the mismatched antique china option really helped tie everything together. And I used a ton of mason jars in my décor, so when Kassie told me she could serve our tea and water in mason jars instead of goblets, I was pleased as punch! And remember how I mentioned I was on a tight budget? We were able to afford a full seated dinner with two entrees, two sides, a salad course, bread, and passed appetizers and still have room left over to upgrade our service to the mismatched antique plates. Their pricing is downright SANE, and if you’ve looked around at caterers much, I probably don’t need to tell you what a rarity that is.
Throughout the planning, the weeks leading up to the wedding, and the wedding itself, Kassie and her staff were WONDERFUL to work with, going above and beyond to make sure that our wedding was awesome. And it totally was. Could never recommend them highly enough.

The team at Catering With a Twist was such a great addition to our wedding. Their style matched with ours perfectly. I was so impressed by their professionalism, attitude, oh my the FOOD!!! When we mentioned that we wanted to do a Texas brunch for our wedding, they were so excited. It was amazing to see someone get excited about our idea. Our wedding was over a month ago, and our friends are still talking about how wonderful the food was. Thank you guys so much for making our wedding worth talking about!!!

5 Billion Stars to Catering With A Twist!!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the them! Absolute perfection!!! I researched and met with quite a few catering companies for my wedding. I love food, so I know that catering can make or break a reception… I knew I was in good hands from the moment I walked into the office… Not only is the food AMAZING, they know their stuff and go above and beyond your normal catering company. Out of all the vendors I researched for my wedding, they were hands down the best! Beth was always quick to respond to any of my questions and they were genuinely excited about my event. They were easy to work with and happy to add some of my own personal touches. They are truely top notch and I have recommended and will keep recommending them to anyone and everyone… I appreciate your creativity and professionalism throughout the planning and execution of our wedding! Thank you so much for adding a «TWIST» to our special day!!!

We got so many comments on how delicious the food was at our wedding. W
e went for a BBQ/​Comfort food lineup (Brisket, Sausage, Chicken, Mac&Cheese, etc) — since eating tasty food is more important to us than it being fancy — but Catering With A Twist delivered on both accounts and we couldn’t have been happier.
I only wish we would have time to eat MORE since we were being pulled in so many directions. The staff was always super professional and nice — from our tasting at their storefront to the day-​of crew that took care of us.
We had some special needs items (couple kids/​couple old folks) and every detail we had discussed months earlier was executed perfectly without reminder. We’ve eaten at a lot of weddings, and their food is vastly superior.
One last note — try their special bbq sauce. It’s amazing.

I love Catering with a Twist! Beth is amazing! My fiancé and I met with her to discuss our reception dinner and bar services. She was very friendly and professional and worked well within our budget. The food was amazing and the presentation was beautiful! I definitely recommend using them for your event!

I cannot recommend Catering with a Twist enough! They went above and beyond my expectations at my recent wedding. They worked with us to insure that everything was in our budget and fit the vision of our wedding. I could not have asked for a better catering experience. The food was great and the event service was phenomenal. I will be recommending them to anyone I know that needs a catering service.

WHOA MAMA! I’m the 1^st one to do this? Let’s go!
We are using this company for our wedding in October. 99% of correspondence with them happened through email and Kassie is on the ball. She answered all my questions quickly and thoroughly. We priced a number of other companies before consulting with this one and found them to be the most affordable. They offer a lot of services that others may not and it won’t cost you an arm and a leg. You will definitely get more bang for your buck with Kassie and the team here.
We special requested a menu that was not advertised and basically asked them to build us a menu based on a certain cuisine. We asked for cajun cuisine and being from our area (SE TX), we were skeptical as to how it would really taste. My SO and I were both blown away. The food was awesome and we actually had to ask them to back off the blackening some on the fish. We tweaked one of the appetizers just to make it easier for our guests to eat and we can’t wait to get married and eat this delicious food.
We also talked with Kassie about their attire for the day and were able to relay our vision to her. She was more than willing to work with us on that so we know that everyone from the caterers to the vineyard staff will all be coordinated and will look super sharp.
I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants something awesome and not so «traditional». If I lived in the Austin/​RR area, I would use them for any ocassion I could find!

Awesome, awesome, awesome! Kassie and her staff are top notch and her chef kicks butt. Kassie was a dream to work with and the staff members that were assigned to our wedding went above and beyond the call of duty and their customer service was exemplary. Catering with a Twist will forever be my «go-​to» caterer.

My dream wedding was to have an intimate, elegant cocktail style reception, and I never imagined it would be so hard to find a caterer who understood my vision and my budget. Then I finally met Kassie, owner of Catering With A Twist. She was so lovely, professional and personable. We knew right away that we wanted her to cater our wedding.
My husband and I live in the Dallas area, but our wedding was at a winery outside of Austin. Planning a semi-​long distance wedding was not easy, but Kassie always promptly replied to my emails, answered my MILLIONS of questions without getting annoyed, and most importantly, she understood the style I was looking for and worked within my limited budget to make everything perfect. She also worked directly with our on-​site coordinator and other vendors to make sure nothing was missed.
When I walked into the reception for the first time, I was overwhelmed with the gorgeous food display. It was everything I wanted. I was even more surprised to see that the entire staff was wearing my wedding colors! They all looked so perfect! She incorporated the colors into the food display as well, knowing how important the décor was to me. My guests raved about the foods — a beautiful hors oeuvres spread to go with the wines.
I highly recommend Catering With A Twist. The entire process was easy, and weddings are never easy! The communication was excellent, they understood exactly what I wanted and made sure it was perfect, and the food was absolutely fabulous!

Catering With a Twist if a fantastic business with a great owner behind it. I can’t recommend it enough to anyone who is needing an event catered!

I have had multiple opportunities to attend events catered by Catering with a Twist and have always been extremely impressed! The food is great and the staff is so friendly and courteous! They always go the extra mile to make sure that the guests are happy and satisfied. I would definitely recommend them for any event you want to make an impression with!
