We used Whatever Works Catering to cater our event of 250 at Boise State and they did it flawlessly for an affordable cost. The food was delicious and the staff was so sweet. I strongly recommend working with them!! -Paige
Everyone loves this food! They’re great problem solvers too and will help you find creative solutions for your event and budget. Very responsive and organized. -Dana
Emily and her team are absolutely amazing! Punctual, profession and OMG the food was to die for!! 10/10 highly recommended! -Jennifer
We hired Emili and her team for 2 events recently, one for a breakfast buffet and the other for an awards luncheon and both were absolutely incredible. All attendees couldn't stop raving about the food and wanted to take the leftovers home for themselves. She and her team were a dream to work with and made the planning of these so easy, took so much stress off of me, we will definitely be working with her again. Thank you, Emili, you are truly a ROCKSTAR!! - Amy S.
I can't recommend Whatever Works Catering enough! We ordered 25 boxed lunches for a company event, and the food was delicious! The sandwich box comes with plenty of sides, and the salads were very filling. Their customer service was very friendly and timely as well. We will be ordering from them again! -Talia
OMG amazing food! Special diets no problem. Stay on budget no problem. Delivery on time 💯. Use them once and you will use them for all your catering needs.

"We just found our new Christmas tradition" - NeighborWorks Boise employee. Whatever Works Catering hit the spot with our staff holiday meal. The prime rib was perfect and our entire team was floored with the flavors and quality of our meal. Thanks for creating a special day for our team. -Inga
We use Whatever Works Catering frequently to cater our monthly Employee Appreciation Luncheons. Emili always delivers great food at reasonable prices with a smile. Definitely worth every penny. - Kristina
Whatever works catered my annual company party and they did an amazing job! Great food and they had options for all dietary restrictions. I highly recommend Whatever Works for everything from corporate events to weekday lunch meetings! - Nicole
I hired Emili at Whatever Works Catering to provide heavy hors d'oeuvres for my company holiday party with 40 attendees and she made it so easy, yummy, and it came in under budget! Plus, I contacted her only 5 days before the party and she was able to squeeze me in between other events. I appreciated her responsiveness and how easy it was to work with her. I got several compliments from our party-goers about the food. Highly recommend! - Emily
We chose this company for our wedding catering and Emili was amazing. She was professional and extremely accommodating. I would definitely recommend this company and book with her again in the future! - Lynsie
We love working with these guys. They take good care of our clients and have yummy food!

Emili and her crew are great, we have used them on two different occasions and both times the food has been amazing! Ordering and delivery was easy, Emili was super accommodating with the COVID restrictions and was able to make individual box brunch items that came delivered and organized by name. I would not hesitate to recommend!

I can’t recommend Whatever Works Catering highly enough! I’ve used them for two business events this year, and I now consider them my go-to for all my catering needs. Not only is the food delicious and well-presented, the service is truly unparalleled. Emili and her staff are friendly, knowledgeable, timely, and always willing to go the extra mile to meet whatever needs arise. I have recommended Whatever Works to friends and business associates alike, and will continue to do so. I’m so grateful I found them!! -Kelly
Whatever Works Catering did a wonderful job catering my wedding. The food was so delicious! I heard several compliments about it from people afterward. Emili was amazing to work with and very accommodating when it came to making some dishes dairy-free and adding a vegetarian one to our package. We rented plates, glasses, silverware and napkins through her too. I appreciated her offer to have them delivered earlier in the day so my coordinator could set up the tables completely before anyone arrived. It was a great experience overall! -James and Cass
From the beginning, Emili helped me with menu planning and got me the best-tasting foods I've ever had!! Seriously, try her stuffed mushrooms...you may never want to eat anything else ever again. She's flexible (I guess that's the "Whatever Works" part of the name) and helpful and so friendly. She even helps with renting dishes and tablecloths for great prices. Her workers are very professional and helpful as well, going above and beyond their actual jobs to help out. Give her a call and you won't regret it, I promise you!! :) -Katie
WWC catered our July wedding with an abundant appetizer meal. The food was delicious and the presentation was amazing! Weeks after the event, guests were still commenting on the food. Emili worked closely with us to customize our menu as our guest list included a number of folks with special dietary restrictions (paleo, vegan, allergies), there was plenty of variety for everyone. But, WWC goes beyond catering. Emili coordinated room layout, including guest table arrangement and ceremony seating. On the day of the event she even directed rearrangement of the room to make more area for dancing. Her exceptional experience within the wedding industry was more than apparent. Emili and her staff do an amazing job working with other vendors; bar staff, venue management, rental companies and even the photographer. WWC provides the full package, they should go into wedding planning! I highly recommend Emili and her staff for any event. Thanks ladies for relieving some stress from our big day!
Side note- Their stuffed mushrooms are a must have on any event menu! -Kim

Thank you so much for providing the food for our wedding! The food was great, but what we appreciate the most is your open communication and the effort you put into making this process as easy as possible. -Amy
Emili and her team prepared an affordable meal that everyone loved. She was very willing to change dishes to our liking and the buffet was beautifully presented. Whatever Works helped with set up, helped plan our venue space and assisted with rentals, and even cut our cake (a HUGE help) during our reception. A great value and a great find in Boise. -Jaiden
I visited with three other catering companies and all of them were difficult and tried to tell me that my choices weren't good ones. Camille was so easy to work with and whatever we wanted she was willing to do. Everything looked great. She helped us order the perfect amount of food so we didn't have tons of left overs. It was perfect!

I spoke to several other caterers and getting a timely response was a huge issue. Absolutely loved everything about whatever works catering. When I called or emailed, I received an email or callback the same day. The food was absolutely delicious. Many of our guests commented on how good the food and the appetizers were.
I didn't want to hire a wedding planner since it is so expensive but Whatever Works offer their services for the setup of the reception as well. I loved that I could just enjoy the ceremony knowing that Emili and her staff were taking care of the setup of the tables and decorations of our park wedding at the meantime. -Alyssa

I had an EXCELLENT time working with Emili to create a tasty menu for my wedding that was budget-friendly. She went above and beyond the call of duty. From the first coffee shop meeting to introduce ourselves, to the free tasting of menu items with friends, to meeting at the venue to visualize a layout, to coordinating rental services, to personally bringing my new husband and I our full plates of food at the reception, Emili was professional, personable, and irreplaceable. I would highly recommend contracting with Whatever Works Catering. The guests at the wedding enjoyed the meal, and many told me afterward that they went back for a second plate. This company has a solid work ethic, attention to detail, and dedication to quality. -Jen
Emili and her girls are amazing. I think everyone agrees that the best part of my reception was all the scrumptious food!! She gave me advice on which foods would stretch the most so I could stay within my budget. Usually there's at least one dish that people don't like, but everything was simply delicious. Thank you so much!! -K
Whatever Works was fantastic to work with! The food is delicious, super reasonably priced, and Emili is wonderful to work with!
She helped me with planning, set-up, rentals, and made sure that we ate on our wedding day. We had so many wedding guests come up to us after dinner and compliment the food. If you are looking for a reasonable, organized, professional caterer, call Whatever Works! -Laura

The food was so tasty and everyone loved it. Whatever works catering was very accommodating as we only wanted to have appetizers. They let us switch out specific items for something else.

They were super easy to work with and a great meal for the price! The guests all raved about how great the meal was. The servers were very nice and professional and made sure my husband and I were served up first, and even took our drink order for the bar. As a bride who needed food- this was more then appreciated! The food was different then the standard BBQ I saw every where and that stood out to me as someone looking to buy dinner and to my guests as well. -Jessy
We gave Emili a call after we had her food at a good friend's wedding. Those stuffed mushrooms.. We went with some hearty hors d'oeuvres and she did great! Getting everything out, and cleaned up. Her bartenders were awesome. They left boxes of food for us to eat with a little bit of everything. Oh- and with her tasty stuffed mushrooms, she made a portabello sandwich especially for my husband. He loved it! Everyone loved the food :) - Ariana
Emili and Team were amazing! Emili is so sweet and friendly. She did an amazing job putting me at ease with the catering portion of our wedding. My guests raved about the food that was served. My husband and I were served first and she brought plates straight to the head table. We had plenty of food for everyone! I would recommend Whatever Works because they are affordable and fast at responding to questions. Thank you for everything! :) -Christina
Working with Emili was great! Her food is delicious and everyone ate it all up and we got so many compliments on how good it was. They forgot something in the order (water bottles) and immediately came back to deliver it ASAP when we called to let them know. They even have packages starting under $10 per person including drinks! Such an amazing deal for great food for your wedding or special event. -Kossandra
Super professional, and served the most amazing food! We had plenty of leftovers and guests couldn't stop talking about how good all the food was! -Tayler
The team at Whatever Works is amazing. The communication throughout the entire process was top notch. We received so many compliments on how great our food was! The prices are extremely affordable. We highly recommend using Whatever Works! -Cheyenne
I cannot recommend Whatever Works Catering more! They were our first choice from the start and I'm glad we were able to get on their calendar for our wedding. Emili and her team were a dream to work with and the amount of compliments over the food were so frequent. Emili made sure we were taken care of the entire time and made sure we took the time to enjoy our food together. From the main entrees down to the bread tower, this food was sooo good. -Kathryn
This worked out great! We will be ordering again - Grace

Emili catered my daughters wedding and did a fabulous job. The set up was beautiful, the food was delicious, the service and attention to detail was wonderful. They really let us plan what would be served and stayed within our budget. There were lots of options to choose from. I highly recommend them! -Barbara
Emili and her team did a great job at our out-of-town wedding. Emili was easy to work with as we researched caterers, planned our menu, and made arrangements for the big day. Even though our wedding was at a remote mountain location, everything went smoothly. Emily and her team showed up on time, were friendly and professional, and of course, the food was excellent. And all of this for a very reasonable price. I would definitely use Whatever Work Catering again. -Amelia
Our wedding yesterday was catered by Whatever Works. On behalf of ourselves and our guests, hats off to Emili and staff for a flawless performance. Fabulous food (you must try their chicken salad sandwiches and stuffed mushrooms!), friendly service, trusted setup and removal, and utmost flexibility. We made a number of last-minute changes that were received with "I understand" and "Not to worry" reactions. Great value for money and we look forward to working with them again--and trust that some of our guests will too! -Stuart
Emili and her staff are amazing. She is very communicative and even gave us a list of things that brides and grooms typically forget, including types of tables that she recommended renting. When we had our tasting, she was incredible and provided large portions so we could share with friends and hear their menu input. Everything was delicious! On the day of our wedding, she and her staff presented the food beautifully. Everyone loved their meals and we got many compliments from our guests! If you're looking into salads as part of your menu, the cranberry crunch was a huge hit. Her lemon artichoke chicken was also very popular with our guests. You won't be disappointed. I can't recommend her enough. - Talyn
Whatever Works Catering provided our company's pre holiday lunch. The food was outstanding! The brownies are the best I've ever had. I wanted to eat the whole tray for starters!!! We will use Emili and Whatever Works Catering for our future needs. Excellent prices and even better food. Highly recommended. - Nick
We did a small house party. Emili did a great job, arrived on time and with everything needed and more. The food was great and my guests loved it. She is completely trust worthy and reliable.- Kim
We got the Enchilada meal, delicious! I love they have vegetarian options!The brownies were perfect! Definitely be ordering again. - Chris
We are so happy with Whatever Works. Catering is probably the biggest decision you will make for your wedding. We were in good hands with WW. They answered all of our questions throughout the process and worked with us every step of the way. Their staff is very friendly and most importantly, their food is amazing. As we walked around meeting guests, I saw that their plates were wiped clean! We worked with Emili and she was really great and on top of everything. Everything was flawless! - Alison
Testimonials
I've worked with Emili on a professional level for three years but finally hired her to cater a dinner at my home for our friends. The food was amazing!! She delivered everything in service containers that made it easy for everyone to dish up and her portions were generous. She provided me with a container to put all the dirty dishes in that she collected the next day. She made it easy on my part which made hosting the evening even better. I will absolutely use her again for our next event!! -Megan
My husband and I used Whatever Works catering for our wedding and we were completely blown away! All the food was amazing and Emili worked extremely hard with making sure it was exactly what we wanted, down to letting us do a dinner package and splitting the entree in half and doing two since I got married at 32 weeks pregnant and wasn't sure what I'd be able to keep down. She even created plates for us and set them aside to make sure we would have plenty of food and knew we got something to eat. She was so sweet and thoughtful I would recommend them for any event or occasion because they will listen to you and make it perfect! Thank you so much... you helped make our wedding perfect! - Bethany
Whatever Works catered our wedding and everything was amazing! Our food was hand delivered to our table by one of the servers as soon as we entered our reception so we had time to eat while our guests were getting their food. We had several guests tell us how great the food was. - Kelsy
Emili and crew;From the crew at ASML, thank you! There were so many compliments on the food yesterday. Those berries with the yogurt were wonderful and very well received. (no left overs!)
You make meeting planning easy! Very best regards, -Teresa
Emili
The food you provided for my sons Friday the 13th wedding was delicious.It was a casual affair and the taco bar fit perfectly. We planned for 50 and we topped out at closer to 60 and still had leftovers.
This is the second event you catered for us and have gone beyond our expectations both times. You and your staff were a pleasure to work with and we will definitely be using you for future functions and will be recommending you and your business whenever I can!

As the mother of the bride, I would highly recommend Emili's services to future businesses regardless of event. I found that she was extremely attentive to the needs of our party. When the reception started, the food tables were always clean and the guests were tended to, including the bride and groom. She even helped with the cake table including cutting and serving cake to the guests. As to the food Emili serves, it is absolutely the very best - especially the stuffed mushrooms. Emili has created a catering company that is so easy to work with for any event including weddings. She is a real pleasure to work with! - Becky
I can't thank Whatever Works Catering enough for all that you did at my daughters wedding. Your display was gorgeous and the food was delicious. the fruit platters were so beautiful and the bread display was very unique. the chicken was so juicy and tender, not to mention delicious! I also want to thank you for doing so much of the bussing of tables, scraping of food, and for cutting the "leaning tower of cake!"that sure was a trick and you did a fabulous job. Thank you so very much for making my daughter's reception wonderful. - Lisa
Whatever Works Catering really went above and beyond for my wedding reception! Not only did they provide great food and service to our guests, they helped me with planning. On top of email and phone correspondence, Emili met us at our reception venue twice and did our final walk-through of everything with us. Whatever Works also helped with set-up and take-down of everything at our venue (e.g. decorations, dessert, bar, etc.). They were great at helping me stay organized, remember all of the details and decisions that needed to be made, and were so flexible and accommodating to my needs. Emili is a wonderful person to work with and I would highly recommend Whatever Works Catering to anyone who is looking for amazing food and even more amazing service." - Kirsten
I really appreciate Emili's flexibility and professionalism! You certainly live up to the name "Whatever Works Catering". - Christine
