From the reviews
Countryside Banquet & Catering are amazing! Not only was their staff exceptional the food was amazing!! Make sure if you are catering an event get the dessert bar! The guests are still talking about how great the dessert was.
Countryside did a wonderful job to make our day special. The food options were great, and could fit any schedule. The food was also really good (roasted chicken, pork loin, garlic mashed potatoes, and veggies). Kristi is also relatively easy to work with.
I have been to several events at Countryside and have had great experiences! Kristy and her team are amazing! I chose Countryside to host my wedding ceremony and reception. I had a great experience in the outdoor tent. The grounds are beautiful and were great for pictures.
We used countryside to carter our food for our wedding and we got so many great responses back on how EXCELLENT the food was. Not too pricey either! We had 220 guests. They set everything up. Once it was our turn to eat they took my husband and I’s plate and plated our food for us and honestly made us feel special.
Getting married at Countryside Banquet & Catering
Countryside Banquet & Catering comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
