Jim worked with us to customize a menu that everyone would love. His presentation was flawless. He made the night unforgettable. I hope to have Jim back for our event next year. Jim is very professional and also a good entertainer. Thanks to the whole staff at Walnut Hill for executing a great event!

I can't say enough about Jim and his crew! My event was a day long combination of smaller events to make one large birthday celebration, and Walnut Hill Catering was there from morning until after 10 pm serving up delicious food all day long, from a fantastic pulled pork lunch for our pilot friends, a unique ladies tea with amazing finger foods, desserts and teas on vintage china, and topped off with an evening dinner service that couldn't be matched...prime rib, delicious chicken all served again on beautiful china that made the final touches to our 40's USO themed evening. Jim and his wife were instrumental from day one in creating a menu for the day to fit each specific event occurring at each time which really brought cohesion to the entire event. Their team members were incredibly pleasant and cheerful despite the high heat and humidity that the day brought, and my guests just raved about the food and service! This team was definitely put to the test in this marathon event, and they passed with flying colors! Thank you so much to all those involved in Walnut Hill Catering and Events! Top notch from start to finish! (I wish I had photos to share, but unlike the professional crew at Walnut Hill, my photographer never showed up!)

Jim was very accommodating to the various food allergies and preferences we requested! The whole crew were very professional and worked throughout the event without stopping. The party was successful and the food was delicious! We had many compliments on the food and it was prepared beautifully. It is hard to know on a graduation open house when the "rush" of people will be present but Jim worked hard to keep up with the demand. Grilling on site was a nice touch!
