I was a little nervous about the food being cold or dry, seeing how it was a 45 min. drive to our location. To much surprise is was PERFECT! Everyone loved the food. The wait staff was super nice and all the leftover food was donated to a shelter! Which I though was gracious of Brann’s to do!

Brann's Catering catered my summer beach wedding on Lake Michigan on July 23rd 2011. The food was amazing. It was outstanding quality for a good price. I had a fajita buffet and taco bar that was self serve and the dinner portion went off without a hitch. The caterers were on time, the food was ready at the hour we requested and the staff was very polite and well dressed. One of the men caterering even gave me a little pep talk to calm my nerves about falling because I was standing where the food was before I began my walk down the aisle. The food was delicious, the staff was outstanding and the price was perfect. I would recommend this caterer to any bride that wanted a worry-free, amazing dinner with great presentation and great service.

Brann's was amazing. We went with a buffet style dinner and it went flawlessly, the food was hot and never ran out. Water and lemonade, as well as salad and rolls were provided for each table. The price was very reasonable, and I highly recommend this caterer to any bride looking for excellent food and service without breaking the bank!

Insufficient amount of appetizers, likely due to the fact the main appetizer never arrived. Prior to the wedding Brann's had said we could have any leftovers not served and even offered to bring covered pans to put them in, however, of the 13 meals that were never served, no leftovers at all were set aside. There were also inconsistency's in the service, some servers would wrap individual guest leftovers when requested, others refused. Basically they didn't follow through with what they said they would do. The food served was good. While they reimbursed us for the appetizer that never arrived they did not attempt to make any restitution for not setting aside any leftovers as agreed. A letter was addressed to the owner and he never had the courtesy even to respond.

Everyone at our wedding raved about our food. One of the things we liked best was the ability to take the left over food home. We had no issues with Branns and would suggest them to anyone.

Overall they were great. We did a plated option that was very cost efficient and from almost everyone I heard that the food was great, a couple here or there said it was under or overcooked but overall was very tasty. My only issues, and they are minor, was that they served the main meal very quickly after the salads...there was suppose to be more time inbetween though I think we may have been running a few minutes behind on schedule from the ceremony...not sure as I didn't have a watch. Also, our cake was served on disposable plates and silverware so that way I figured they wouldn't have to worry about cleaning it up, well they did clean it up anyways and I never even got a taste of my own wedding cake other than the cake cutting part (though I heard it was great)...that was a bit of a bummer to me. But I would recommend them, overall they were really good and well worth the money, much better costs than other places I looked at!

It is hard to review Brann's because all of the planning leading up to the wedding was very smooth, and they were professional and flexible.The service *at* the wedding however was less than desirable. There were some menu items that never got served, and other issues throughout the night that left a bad taste in our mouth.They did however rectify the situation upon our complaint. In my opinion, it was just an off night for them, it seems they generally offer a great service. They came to us on recommendation.

I would recommend Brann's. The food was excellent. We did not have a good tasting experience. They only had two entrees for us to taste, one potato and no vegetables. Overall that was a waste of time. We had earlier signed a contract and then at the tasting were told that the options we had been offered on the contract were not available. To their credit, that did get worked out the next week and we were offered everything we had contracted for, and more. We were disappointed with the quality of the silverware and did rent better for the wedding. We also had some issues with the service. The bride's parents' table was the last to be served which did not seem right to us. And many people complained that their unfinished plates were taken away when they were not looking. But the food was attractively served and we had many comments on how well it tasted.

Brann's Catering was the best catering company for the price. Compared to the other vendors around the city of Grand Rapids, Branns' Catering was affordable, great food, and good location. The Conference center was just the right place for my wedding reception. The decor was very elegant and the just what I was looking for.

The food was great! Everyone loved the meatballs and red skin potatoes. I have heard from many friends and family how much they enjoyed it! The one thing I didn't enjoy was seeing some of the waiters eating our leftovers in the kitchen where guests could see.

The food prices were very reasonable & had a lot of choices for meals or buffets. We opted for a more casual buffet & were very pleased w/ the variety.
