Our sales staff works collaboratively with each other in the office as well with our chefs to create custom chef inspired menus personalized to the bride/groom and their special wedding day. We will even be happy to incorporate family recipes for your menu, even if it's not on our menu. Our flexibility and positive relationships help us to work closely with most venues and vendors in the Nashville area.

What catering trends do you wish would die?
We consider ourselves trend setters at ADCT and that is why we have a vision board in our office that is updated monthly with new catering and wedding trends that cross our paths everyday. So instead of letting trends die, we strive to improve them!
Tell me why brides should choose A Dream Come True Events and Catering?
Brides should choose ADCT because we embrace the philosophy of "Lagniappe," a Cajun term meaning "a little something extra". It is our company policy to go beyond the expected for each event. Our goal and top priority is total customer satisfaction, hence, we will do whatever it takes to get the job done and to make your Dreams Come True. We are well known in the event industry for our quality service. Also, the diversity of chefs in our company help to produce authentic dishes that are sure to keep your guests talking for years.
