A Recipe for Success: A Legacy of Deliciousness

Step into the rich culinary tradition of Ida's Catering. Our journey through Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan's food scene spans over four decades, creating memorable meals and unforgettable experiences. As a third-generation family business, we've been creating custom catering solutions since 1983, bringing warmth and flavor that only a family-owned business can provide.

Ida’s Catering began in 1983 as a mother–daughter venture founded by Cyndi Campbell and Ida Engfer, operating out of a small kitchen on Laskey Road. More than 30 years ago, we moved into our current kitchen at 4425 Bennett Road—a former hardware store transformed with the help of family and friends, reflecting the spirit and tradition of Ida’s from the very beginning.


Over the years, both our family and our business have grown. Today, Cyndi’s daughter, Briean, proudly represents the third generation, and the fourth generation is already beginning to step into their aprons.

We take great pride in the level of service and attention to detail we provide. Hospitality truly is our family business, and we are honored to be a premier caterer and special event service provider in Northwest Ohio. As a family-owned and operated company, we are committed to perfecting the art of food and service—and bringing that dedication to every event we’re part of.


We go above and beyond to ensure a seamless, professional experience so you and your guests can simply enjoy the moment. It is our pleasure to serve you and your family.
