Food and tables

The food was more than fabulous. This was absolutely divine. the appetizers, dinner, and wedding cake had such a variety and with Buffett style our guests were able to have more than one plate! The open bar had a lively bartender that kept our guests hands full

Absolutely delicious!

From the food to the drinks to the cake, catering by uptown did a fantastic job! Our guest loved everything about the experience especially receiving a refreshing lemonade before the ceremony even begun. Thank you for everything!

Amazing Service

Planning a wedding is stressful especially on a budget but they made everything simple and worked with our budget to get the venue I wanted. Also they include everything expect DJ, Photographer, and Flowers. Now that I have a date set I can move forward with the extras.
