It was a busy weekend at The Waddell Center! 🤍

We had four days of events, including three weddings and a corporate open house — and we loved getting to be a part of it all!

A big congratulations to Madison & Ryer, Jessica & Aaron, and Alexis & Christian! 🥂 We hope your wedding days were everything you dreamed of and more.

We’re lucky to have The Waddell Center as one of our exclusive venues and love seeing this space come to life weekend after weekend. Here’s to many more celebrations ahead! ✨

💜 DC Gives Back! 💜

We recently had the chance to give back at a charity golf outing at Railside Golf Club benefiting Van Andel Institute Purple Community!

Our team provided the food for two stations out on the course, and we were happy to play a small part in an event supporting research for cancer, Parkinson’s, dementia, metabolic disorders, and more.

Great food, a great day on the course, and most importantly, a great cause. We’re always thankful for opportunities like this to support our West Michigan community! 💜

It was an honor to be a part of this beautiful event at The Waddell Center! It’s always a pleasure working with our brides and grooms, and this wedding was no exception. 😍✨ Congratulations, Katie & Jayce!

It’s almost time for one of our favorite events of the year! ⛳

Distinctive Catering is proud to once again sponsor the McDivot's Charity Classic supporting Adelante Youth Mission Inc. on Friday, September 11 at Gleneagle Golf Club!

This outing has always been about more than a day on the golf course. It’s a chance to get together, have some fun, enjoy some great food, and most importantly, raise money for Adelante Youth Mission. Last year, the outing raised more than $58,000 — enough to help build and furnish 12 homes for families in need in the Dominican Republic.

We’d love your help making this year another great one! ❤️

⛳ Come golf – Grab some friends or coworkers and join us for the day.
🤝 Sponsor the outing – We have several sponsorship levels available for local businesses and organizations.
🎁 Donate an auction item – Gift cards, products, services, experiences and other donations are greatly appreciated.
🍽️ Just come for dinner! – Not a golfer? Join us for dinner and the auction for $50.

Every golfer, sponsor, donation and dinner guest helps us raise more for an organization that is doing some truly incredible work.

📅 Friday, September 11, 2026
📍 Gleneagle Golf Club in Hudsonville
📌 Registration deadline: September 1

Take a look through the flyer for all the details and sponsorship opportunities, and please feel free to share this post with anyone who might like to golf, sponsor or donate!

We hope to see you out there! ⛳❤

What a fun evening! ✨

Last Tuesday, we welcomed so many wonderful couples and clients to our tri-annual Group Tasting at The Loft at Studio D2D Event Venues.
