AnyThyme Catering
We're Jolene and Chef Lyss, the two women behind AnyThyme Catering. We're family run, women owned, and we treat every wedding with the same care and attention, no matter the size or budget. Chef Lyss brings 20 years in the kitchen and personally leads every menu we serve. I bring 15+ years of event coordination and I'm with you from your first email all the way through your wedding night.
We've done backyard gatherings and full-scale venues, buffet, family-style, and plated. However big or small your day is, we show up prepared and ready to take care of your day so you don't have to think twice. Every server on our team is ServSafe certified, trained, and easy to have around. We're LGBTQ+ inclusive and it means a lot to us every time a couple trusts us with their day.

Best catering company!
I used Any Thyme for a corporate event and it was quite the success for my clients! They made it so easy for me by delivering and setting up 30 minutes ahead of time, they brought plates and all the serving utensils and it was a slam dunk. I got so much food for my value that I was able to feed my team back and the office AND my family that night so 3 groups from one order. My 12 year old boy couldn’t stop talking about the Asian chicken and how delicious it was. I will definitely use them again!

Thankyou AnyThyme team
AnyThyme catering team was amazing!! From the day we sent an inquiry Jolene was great at communicating. She answered all my questions quickly and in detail to help me make a decision for our big day. Her and chef Alyssa were super accommodating with our last minute request for a tasting and squeezed us in with ease. We had some menu changes and add ons after our booking and Jolene was so great with working with us on those changes. She definitely made the experience of planning for a caterer easier. The day of our wedding they absolutely delivered exactly what they promised!!! They came prepared. The food was amazing! Their team was great and friendly. Service was awesome. They were definitely the right choice for us. I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Thankyou Jolene, Alyssa and team!
Jolene Ayala•Jul 23, 2026Victoria, thank you so much! It truly means the world to us. We loved working with you from that very first inquiry all the way through your big day, and it made us so happy to be part of it. Alyssa and I are so glad the tasting and menu changes felt easy on your end, that's exactly what we hope for. Congratulations again to you and your partner, and thank you for trusting us with such a special day. Jolene Ayala Catering Coordinator | Chef Lyss

A Caterer That Treats You Like Family
My husband and I cannot recommend AnyThyme Catering highly enough. From our very first conversation, it was clear that Jolene and Chef Lyss genuinely care about the couples they work with and the experience they create. Throughout the entire planning process, their communication was excellent—responsive, thoughtful, organized, and always focused on making sure we felt supported and taken care of. What makes AnyThyme so special is that you truly work directly with the people who care most about your event. Jolene and Chef Lyss were incredibly invested in bringing our vision to life and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we could have wanted. Every interaction felt personal, and it was obvious that this is much more than a business to them: it is something they pour their hearts into. The food was great. We received countless compliments from our guests, and everything was executed seamlessly. Their team was professional, attentive, and worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure the evening ran smoothly. They took extra care for our guests with allergies and one guest who has Celiac, to make sure there was no cross contamination and everything would be safe and secure. Above and beyond! Beyond the amazing food and service, what we will remember most is how cared for we felt. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but AnyThyme consistently made us feel like we were in good hands. They were kind, accommodating, solution-oriented, and genuinely excited to celebrate alongside us. We are so grateful to Jolene, Chef Lyss, and the entire AnyThyme team for helping make our wedding day so special. If you're looking for a caterer that combines great food, smooth execution, and truly heartfelt service, look no further. We would choose them again in a heartbeat.
Jolene Ayala•Jun 22, 2026Hi Molly! This really made my day! Making couples feel taken care of on one of the biggest days of their lives is exactly why we do what we do. So happy we could be part of yours! Thank you for taking the time to tell your experience with us and all the kind words 😊😍 Can’t wait for the next event! Jolene
