A Legacy of Hospitality Since 1986

Catered Creations began in 1986 with a simple promise: serve great food with genuine care. Founded by Gary and Patti Zylstra, what started as a small off-premise catering business in Grand Rapids has grown into a trusted name for beautifully executed events across West Michigan.

For decades, we’ve delivered reliable service, thoughtful presentation, and meals that bring people together. We believe that good food served well can turn any gathering into something memorable—and that’s exactly what we aim to do at every event.

Professional. Personal. Prepared.

We’ve built our reputation on being ready—on time, organized, and always focused on the details that matter most to our clients. Whether we’re catering a wedding, corporate luncheon, or community celebration, our team brings a calm, professional presence to every event.

At Catered Creations, service isn’t just something we offer—it’s how we show up. With logistics handled and your guests well cared for, you can focus on enjoying your event, knowing that every plate is in good hands.
"Absolute perfection! From the strolling appetizers to the buffet dinner. Everything was presented elegantly, the timing was great and the staff was absolutely incredible and attentive!!! I couldn't have asked for a better team on our special day"
