Kohler Catering and Banquet Center

We did our wedding ceremony and reception all in one room at the Presidential Banquet Center with the help and guidance of Marcia West at Kohler Catering… It was awesome! It was beautiful! They took great care of us and we left the planning to them… it took so much off of me, it was like a weight had been lifted… All I had to do was pick my linens, choose food, and do my centerpieces… It could not have been easier! The food was absolutely fantastic… I highly recommend them for your event planning/​catering needs! Thank you all for a wonderful night… it was the best ever!

Kohler catered my friends’ wedding, serving up a massive buffet to feed over 200 guests in a remote event venue.
For dinner, we had:
— Salad with ranch or vinaigrette
— Carved prime rib
— Carved turkey
— Plantation chicken
— Fettuccine Alfredo
— Mashed potatoes
— Green beans with pearl onions
— Au gratin potatoes
— Macaroni and cheese
I’m a huge salad fan, but this starter was less than exciting. Iceberg lettuce and one small tomato wedge. Meh. Onto the mains, please.
The Au Gratin Potatoes were the showstopper. Hot, juicy slices of potatoes dripping in baked cheese. These were delicious, and I’m glad I took an extra scoop. Prime Rib, one of my favorite dishes, was tender and served au jus. Usually buffet prime ribs are tough and luke warm. Kohler has perfected the process to make sure the meat comes out piping hot and tasty for every slice. Green beans were fresh cut and bright green colored. Didn’t care much for the onions, but otherwise these made for a great side. Fettuccine and the macaroni and cheese was also gooey and hit the spot.
The buffet was well-​organized and included two tables with the same dishes so that guests could get their meals more efficiently. Staff was friendly and bussed our plates promptly.
Price wise, Kohler is more affordable than in-​house catering offered at venues. I also found the food to be higher quality, and a better selection of options.
The bride and groom also hired Kohler to tend bar. The wedding was a unique theme: cats. In spirit of the party, Kohler served up similar drinks: Meow Midori (melonballs), Meow-​jitos, Mancattans, and Mimeowsas (mimosas). Of course, they had a full bar of other drinks; those were just the special cocktails and it added a fun touch to my friends’ big day.

The best in Dayton! Kohler Catering and Presidential Banquet Center made all of my wedding day dreams come true … the food was incredible! The food was outstanding. Many guests at my wedding complimented the service staff and still rave about the food. We had a whole team, captains, managers, servers and bartenders and all were very professional, accommodating and so friendly. First, the food was HOT. The Chicken was so moist and tender, and the Prime Rib was juicy and melted in your mouth. I’d love the recipe for their twice baked potatoes! The fresh vegetables were perfectly seasoned, and not overcooked. The buffet and stations were gorgeous, with lights and elevations, the head table was beautiful. They were able to work within our budget, and met with us several times so every detail was perfect. Their pricing is easy to understand and they include so much in their price that I didn’t feel nickeled and dimed. The tables and chairs and linens looked great, they placed our centerpieces on the tables for us, had our floor plan EXACTLY how we wanted it, the other vendors we chose highly recommended Kohler Catering and the Presidential Banquet Center and had nothing but great things to say about them. We checked with several caterers, and NO other caterer came close to what Kohler’s could do for us at our reception. Several that we called didn’t get back with us, or wouldn’t give us any information without a meeting. Kohler Catering definitely exceeded my expectations and gave me and my husband the best wedding day ever! My father was so pleased with our choice because he knew they have been in business for a long time, and he had attended many corporate events by Kohler’s and he was always impressed with the food and service.
