10/10 experience with Loaded Potato Catering. We went into our wedding day genuinely excited to eat dinner after our tasting experience earlier this year (which was also 10/10). Go with Loaded Potato!!
Just absolutely amazing from beginning to end. The communication was timely and thorough, and the team went above and beyond at my event. Not only that, the food was fantastic and everyone was well fed and raving about the meal.
Loaded Potato Catering is PHENOMENAL! Just had them cater my wedding on 09.06.2025 and everyone LOVED their delicious food! I feel like typically for weddings-you don’t expect to have the best meal-but legitimately every single guest could not stop raving about the amazing charcuterie board, the one of a kind appetizers that were INHALED, and the delicious entrees! Will definitely be hiring them again for any and all future events!!
Pat, Sam and their whole team are wonderful to work with!!

I had never heard of the Loaded Potato before looking up local caterers to find someone to feed us for a pre-wedding-reception welcome dinner. Their reviews looked awesome and I had a good feeling about them. Right from the start communication was easy and helpful, which I really appreciated as someone who had no prior experience with booking catering and planning events. The menu is awesome and absolutely outdid our expectations. On my end, someone had forgotten to bring the appetizers tables and the caterers were very chill as we figured out how to improvise, and everything turned out perfect. My guests were soooooo happy with the meal; there was a lot of happy silence as everything was first being served, followed by a lot of raving and compliments. Some guests informed me they had left a review for the Loaded Potato as soon as they’d eaten haha. We had a local big name in catering provide our meal the next day for our wedding reception and the majority of our guests including me and my husband all preferred the Loaded Potato. You can just tell that these are good people doing what they love and putting their souls into the business. So if you’re looking for catering, do not hesitate to hire the Potatoes!!
We had a great experience with Loaded Potato. They were very easy to work with and our guests loved the food.
We absolutely love working with Loaded Potato Catering! They are so incredible to work with us on various menus and can create anything you can imagine! From beginning to end, they're a delight. And their food is delicious!!

We love working with you too! My family is up here in Marrquette for a wedding. The gathering the night before the wedding was catered by the this company. The food was phenomenal and very delicious. Brisket was so tender you could cut it with a fork and the rainbow carrots were outstanding. There staff was very friendly and accommodating. If we lived up here we would most definitely use this catering company often.
I couldn't be happier with our choice of caterer for our wedding! From the very first interaction, their communication was flawless, making the entire planning process a breeze. They listened carefully to our requests and executed them perfectly, even incorporating all our provided dishes into a charming and unique dessert display around Ore Dock Brewing.
The food itself was nothing short of spectacular—from the burgers to working with other businesses in Marquette to get us pretzels to their insanely good homemade chocolate chip cookies. We had more than enough to go around, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about the quality and taste.
The service was impeccable, ensuring everything ran smoothly throughout the event. If you’re looking for a caterer who combines excellent food with outstanding service and a personal touch, look no further. They made our special day even more memorable!

Patrick and Sam were beyond wonderful, as was their food! They went above and beyond to make our event special, and our guests have commented about how good the food was for months since we saw them.
Couldn't recommend them more for your next event. They're skilled, kind, easy to work with, and overall just lovely humans.

Loaded Potato Catering knocked it out of the ballpark at our daughter’s wedding! They were very easy to work with, highly responsive to our requests, great communicators, and the food was outstanding! I repeat, outstanding!!! They worked well with other vendors for the event! I wouldn’t hesitate to give them my highest recommendation, they FAR EXCEEDED our expectations!
Sam & Pat are amazing! I highly suggest booking them for your event! The food is not only delicious but the presentation is always a wow factor! Thank you, Sam and Pat, for totally crushing our wedding!
We had such a wonderful wedding catering experience with Loaded Potato Catering. In the months before our wedding, Pat was extremely responsive and helped us build a menu we loved. And I seriously cannot express enough how AMAZING the food they served at our wedding was. It's been 2+ months and folks still tell us ours was the best wedding dinner they've ever had. Absolutely fantastic service and food -- what a great team!
Patrick was very easy to communicate with and flexible throughout the planning process. Food was very good and all of my friends and family are still raving about it.
Pat and Sam consistently produce fantastic catering experiences. They're professional, reliable, easy to communicate with and actually care. I cannot recommend them enough- their entire team is stellar and the food is a hit every single time.
These awesome fellas catered my daughter's wedding, on short notice, last weekend. The food was fabulous and the staff was outstanding! I highly recommend them. Tasty, hot, on time, delicious food! Marquette, you've got a winner here! (Wish I had taken photos to post.)
Pat and Sam catered our wedding this year and the food was an enormous hit! Their process is very good and they are great people. Would 10000% recommend them for any occasion!
Working with Sam and Pat was a wonderful experience! They made planning a menu that fit our event easy and were great communicators throughout the whole process. The food was incredible as well as its presentation. Sam and Pat make an incredible team. Marquette has lacked catering options for a long time and Loaded Potato does a terrific job of filling that need. I cannot recommend them enough.
We hired Loaded Potato Catering for our wedding in Marquette in September and they were absolutely AMAZING!!
My husband and I were a bit overwhelmed with trying to plan our wedding from 400 miles away, and Pat & Sam truly couldn’t have been more amazing! Pat and Sam were both so kind and willing to work with our wedding vision and budget. They made the process very smooth and were willing to add or take away menu items as needed. They helped us create a brunch menu and fall themed drinks to go with. We were drooling just looking at the menu that we finalized on.
Our wedding day turned out way better than we could have ever expected. The food not only tasted absolutely amazing, but was displayed stunningly. All the food was fresh and you could tell the ingredients were homemade. We also did monkey bread as our wedding cake which turned out great.
All of our family and friends were talking about how amazing the food was for weeks. It really brought our entire event together. Pat and Sam were so wonderful to work with and the bartender was so friendly.
We really stepped out of our comfort zone hiring catering from so far away, but we are so happy we stumbled upon Loaded Potato Catering. Cannot wait for a chance to eat something from them again. We would recommend them time and time again!!

Loaded Potato catered my husband’s retirement party. Pat & Sam are great and fun to work with! They communicate throughout the planning and were available promptly for any questions I had. The food was wonderful and I have had many people ask (even now and it was 5 months ago) me who catered the event. I did not have to do anything! They took care of everything. I will hire Pat & Sam for all my future events!
We recently ordered a large Charcuterie Board from Loaded Potato Catering Company and it was amazing! The large was more than enough to keep 20 people happy! It was beautifully presented and delicious. Would highly recommend!
Sam and Pat did a wonderful job at catering our events this year. The food tasted stellar and there was plenty of it! Communication was great through the whole process and they were so helpful creating a menu that worked for our style of party. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a caterer in Marquette.
Stop what you're doing and hire Loaded Potato for your next event!
I reached out to Pat and Sam in 2021 to find someone to cater our wedding in 2023. The two of them went above and beyond to help me plan our menu, even when I lived over 400 miles away!
Throughout our time together, Pat and Sam showcased their industry knowledge, flexibility and culinary skills by email, video call, and a fabulous taste testing. Within a week of the big day, they were in communication with me to finesse any last minute details and make sure everything was absolutely perfect.
And then there was our wedding day. You guys, the food was INCREDIBLE! I received SO many rave reviews on each entrée, especially the vegetarian/vegan option! Some friends that are "allergic to vegetables" could NOT get enough of the stuffed Portobello mushroom. If that doesn't tell you how talented this team is, I don't know what will!
To the entire team at Loaded Potato: Thank you for the incredible food and service. We are so lucky to have been able to work with you and look forward to booking your services in the future!

Sami and her crew catered a very special family memorial event for us at Barrel and Beam. The food was spectacular, everyone raved about it. I cannot recommend them more highly. Wonderful food, professional, dependable, and reasonably priced.
Outstanding!
I attended two different events where Loaded Potato was the catering company. Their ability to serve delicious meals fit for any style of event is one of their best qualities.
Personal favorite, their hamburger sliders...."Oh my goodness!"
I highly recommend them!
