When you’re searching for a wedding caterer who truly understands Texan flavor and genuine hospitality, look no further than Vestals Catering. Based in the heart of Texas and serving couples across Dallas, Fort Worth, and Austin, this team takes pride in creating custom-menus that highlight the best of the Lone Star State: local ingredients, elevated comfort food, and service that makes you feel like family.
Founded by Jordan Swim, rooted in Dallas, and his wife Emily Swim, who was born and raised in Austin, TX, Vestals began with their shared love of bringing people together over really good food. More than seventeen years later, that same spirit of gathering still guides everything they do, from thoughtful tastings to designing a wedding menu that truly reflects you.

A Taste of Texas, Vestals-Style
One thing that quickly stands out when you look through Vestals menus is how they balance Texas tradition with a refined, seasonal approach. Their offerings stretch far beyond simple choices. They weave in everything from Gulf seafood to Latin and Mediterranean flavors, plus plenty of comfort food touches that still feel elevated.
For example, their Stockyard station gives you a sense of how they honor Texas roots. Instead of just serving basic beef and pork, they create thoughtful combinations like herb crusted bistro filet with crispy onions or tender pork paired with raspberry chipotle notes. Elsewhere on the menu, you’ll find passed bites that nod to both regional and global influences. Things like Applewood Bacon Wrapped Apricots, Gulf Crab Cakes, Chicken Flautas, and signature quesadillas show how they play with familiar flavors in a polished way.
Their grazing boards and displays continue that same idea. Classic and seasonal cheeses, roasted vegetables, marinated olives, and house made accompaniments all come together in a way that feels generous rather than fussy. It is Texas hospitality presented with intention.
In other words, no matter which style of service you choose, Vestals builds menus that feel rooted in local flavor, but broad enough to reflect a couple’s personality and the season of their wedding.

Hospitality That Sticks With You
Couples who work with Vestals often talk about the hospitality just as much as the food itself. From the initial tasting to the last plate served, people consistently mention how cared for they felt.
Heather, a recent bride, shared that it was a pleasure working with the team and that they were amazed by both the taste and the quality of the food. She noted that many guests said it was the best wedding meal they had ever had.
Another bride, Abigail, shared that the food was incredible and that she and her partner felt closely attended to throughout the entire night. She mentioned that guests kept complimenting the meal, even those who are usually extremely particular.
That blend of organization, warmth, and genuine attentiveness is a huge part of why Vestals has become a trusted name among Texas couples.
