We was working in our family butcher shop during the mid 1970’s when a good customer of ours came in one day and asked if we could cater a BBQ for him.  I proudly said, “Sure, no problem”.  After he told me what he would like to serve, I asked him how many people he was expecting?  He said, “Oh, about 1700, give or take a few.” After recovering from the initial shock of serving 1700 people with no experience, we spent many hours of  research as a family and it was then that we handled our first catered event. We were hooked. My sister Linda & I decided to name our new business after our father.  Hence, Dad’s Catering was born.
And so it continues…

 Since then, we proudly display the following honors:

Caterer of the Year Award” from Phoenix Magazine, Arizona Wedding Chronicle, Arizona Brides Magazine, City Search, New Times Magazine, Wedding Survey.com

Best of Weddings Award” (2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015) The Knot Magazine
