Our Clients

DaRae and Friends event caterers went above and beyond my expectations and allowed me the opportunity to truly enjoy my holiday event.

The Hostess

I loved working with DaRae and Friends. The food was so good, especially the sweets table that had chocolate covered strawberries and other goodies on it. My husband loved the beef tenderloin and we felt extremely pleased with the hospitality given to our guests.

Elizabeth

If you want to make a good impression or have a nice setup then DaRae and Friends Catering service is the one for you. They have a wide variety of food and desserts to pick from. My utmost favorite is their chicken salad sandwich and brownies. They deserve an editorial in the Lexington Herald Leader paper!
