Tammy B. Wedding Party

The food was so good, beautifully presented. I had the privilege of facilitating the wedding and I can only sing high praises: The From Scratch team was cheerful, gracious and did whatever they could do to have the event be a remarkable experience for the grooms and guests. Highly recommend.

Sarah B. Wedding Party

Their sales team is wonderful and responsive. The food is delicious, and presented tastefully. The onsite staff/service is timely, professional, presentable, and personable. The ice cream cart is wonderful, pleasing to the eye, and DELICIOUS. I am highly impressed and would love to work with them again.

Mid-Michigan Children’s Museum Wedding Party

We have used From Scratch twice now for our annual fund raiser at Mid-Michigan Children's Museum. The guests raved about the food! For our 2024 event, we added an additional 100 guests as compared to 2023, and we believe the food was partially responsible for the increase. We will be using them again --- so easy to work with From Scratch!

Frequently Ask Questions

Catering that travels, adapts, and delivers – without asking your vision to shrink to fit the venue.

From Scratch Catering & Event Planning is built to go where the celebration is. We serve events throughout Michigan's Lower Peninsula and routinely travel up to three hours from our catering facilities in Saginaw County and Oakland County. We also occasionally serve events in Northern Ohio and Northern Indiana. Travel fees are calculated by distance, and we will include any applicable travel costs clearly in your custom quote - no surprises, no guesswork.

Absolutely. We are used to creating exceptional catered experiences in places that were never designed to be restaurants. We bring the equipment, systems, and staffing needed to execute your event properly, and we will review power needs with you well in advance. If additional power is required, we can provide generator power to keep our equipment running safely and efficiently. If your venue has a kitchen or useful amenities, wonderful - we will put them to work. But a full on-site kitchen is not a requirement. Our event planning specialists are logistical problem solvers, trained to honor your vision while meeting the demands of the location.

Yes - and we take them seriously. Dietary accommodations require more than good intentions; they require clear information, careful planning, and a culinary team that understands the stakes. Tell us which restrictions, allergies, intolerances, or preferences need to be addressed and how many guests require each accommodation. Our planning and culinary teams have experience with a wide range of needs, including severe food allergies, where safety can be a matter of life and death. We will build a thoughtful solution for your event so every guest can be cared for with confidence.

We would be delighted to prepare a detailed quote for your event. Start by completing our contact form, and our sales administrator will gather the information needed to shape an accurate proposal. Your initial quote can be broad or highly specific, depending on where you are in the planning process. Once you review it, we can adjust the menu, guest count, service style, rentals, travel, or other details as your vision becomes clearer. A great quote should help you make decisions - not lock you into them.

We host several tasting events throughout the year, often at our Oakland County venues or partner venues. Each year, we provide a complimentary tasting opportunity for prospective and booked couples. If you are already booked with us, your event manager will share tasting-calendar details and keep you informed as new opportunities are announced. If you are still choosing a caterer and would like to attend an upcoming tasting, email jenna@cateredfromscratch.com for available dates. Guests who wish to attend multiple tastings or bring additional guests may purchase discounted event tickets. Private tastings can also be arranged for an additional cost.
