Amazing food, a pleasure to work with!
"Annette and her team did an amazing job catering our wedding at the Canfield Casino. Annette was always responsive and attentive to details, and we could not have asked for a better catering company! We are still getting calls and texts from guests about how amazing the food and desert were. Eva, her day of coordinator, was so helpful through the whole process and made sure that our day went off without a hitch. Everything in the casino was set up beautifully, we were on time the entire day, and my wife and I could not have been happier. Thank you Annette and Eva!"

Great Food and Great Team!
"Distinctive catering does it all! Annette and her team catered our wedding in June 2025 and they were amazing! Annette was on top of everything from the start and was very communicative throughout the whole process. She was very knowledgeable, reassuring, and resourceful. What I loved the most is that she really took care of us as the bride and groom, making sure we got food and drinks right away and make sure we were taken care of throughout the night. All of our guests RAVED about the food, the prime rib cut like soft butter! My personal favorite were the bacon wrapped scallops, delicious! I would highly recommend Distinctive catering for any event, the whole team was very impressive!"
