Type A Catering

I can’t begin to say enough wonderful things about Type A Catering. I planned my wedding from South Carolina, and took a leap of faith and hired Diane before I even did a tasting. Her calm nature, attention to detail, helpful suggestions and organization sold me on Type A from the beginning. She was even able to recommend our DJ to us (who was another fabulous choice!)
On our wedding day, Diane and her team were really amazing. We had a cupcake debacle with another vendor and they stepped in and immediately fixed the situation (and the smushed cutting cake) I received so many compliments from guests on how much they loved the food. Diane was there all night at the reception to make sure everything went smoothly. All of the staff members I met that night we friendly and I heard the same from my parents.
Diane and Type A made things run so smoothly and I am so glad I chose them! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a top-​notch wedding caterer!

I went to an event catered by Type A. The caliber of the food was possibly the worse I’ve experienced in Lexington. Think Wild Thyme, Seasons, Aviary at the top of the catering ladder, then slide down to the bottom rung and you have Type A. There was not a single redeeming factor in the food — taste, creativity, presentation. Type A deserves an «F».

I have worked with Diane on three events, one very elaborate 50^th birthday party and two smaller corporate events. She is excellent on timely communication, her quotes are very detailed as far as menu items and pricing so there are no surprises. She and her staff are always on time, the presentation of the food is perfect and they are very accommodating during the events. I’ve recommended her to several people who have also been very pleased with her services and of course I will continue to work with her on future events!

When I first met Diane, she was super responsive, full of ideas, and detail oriented. When my fiancé and I met up with her again for the tasting a few months later, the food was exceptionally delicious & she remained detail oriented. Unfortunately, these attributes waned and did not carry over through the day of the wedding. She spent the majority of the wedding afternoon and night on her cell phone, not managing her staff. The food was not to the same caliber as what we received during the tasting. Her staff was rude. Additionally, at the end of the night, we never received all the remaining bar accessories, the leftover wedding cake was claimed by the staff despite my mother’s questioning the staff, the staff laid claim to all the table flowers before guests had the opportunity to bring home a memento of the evening, and family reported the staff was drinking our alcohol throughout the evening. The ultimate let down was when we discovered $ 500+ in wedding gifts disappeared during the ceremony. The catering staff were the only people in the reception area during the ceremony. Diane adamantly denied her staff’s involvement in any of the above despite her lack of supervision. Overall, a truly disappointing finish to a truly impressive introduction.
