Amazing catering team that goes above and beyond!
From our first conversation, AnyThyme Catering made us feel like we were in great hands. The team was responsive to every question we had and always offered thoughtful options that fit our vision. What really set them apart was how warm and genuine they were throughout the entire planning process—they truly felt like friends helping us celebrate. On the day of our wedding, they delivered!! We had delicious food; the meat selections were so moist and had bold flavors our guests still talk about. The sides were yummy, and everyone complimented us on the meal. AnyThyme went the extra mile by offering to create snack boxes for us to enjoy on our way to the hotel. They also went above and beyond by delivering something we needed early for setup, which made a huge difference. They are true professionals; they anticipate issues to avoid problems, and they helped us in ways we didn't even ask for, but we so appreciated it. We're so grateful for a caterer that provides exceptional quality and are such a kind, generous people.

Catering & Day of Coordination
We truly cannot say enough amazing things about Jolene and her team! We chose the taco bar for our wedding, and the food was absolutely perfect. Everything was delicious, fresh, and exactly what we hoped for—and everything was set up and served right on time! But honestly, having Jolene as our day-of coordinator was one of the best decisions we made. She helped with literally anything and everything we needed throughout the entire day. From the little things we didn’t even think about to keeping everything running smoothly and on schedule, she was there for us every step of the way. I genuinely don’t know how we would have survived our wedding day without her! She took so much stress off our shoulders and allowed us to actually relax, enjoy ourselves, and be present for all the special moments. If you’re looking for incredible food AND someone who will truly take care of you on your wedding day, we cannot recommend Jolene enough. She was absolutely wonderful, and we are so grateful she was part of our wedding!
Jolene Ayala•Oct 6, 2026Thank you both so much for these kind words! It was an honor to be part of your wedding day. You and your family were great to work with. We're so happy the taco bar was everything you hoped for, and i love to help keep things running smoothly so you could relax and enjoy . Wishing you a lifetime of happiness together! Jolene and the AnyThyme Catering team

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!
Jolene Ayala•Aug 21, 2026Hi Leslie! It’s always a pleasure doing business with you:)

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
