Absolutely Perfect Catering was Absolutely Perfect!!

From the very first contact we had with our coordinator Sarah Thompson, the planning process has been seamless. Communication has been timely and when it came time to bring our vision to life we were blown away with the service and quality of the food. Many of our guests were complimentary about the food and also about the generous portions. The bride and groom especially liked that they received an assigned server to make sure that they had an extra pair of hands to hold a drink or grab them a plate of appetizers. All of the servers were very pleasant, professionally dressed, and extremely efficient. To serve 160 people in a short amount of time was no small feat. Each member of a table was served simultaneously. I also loved the passed desserts! Having a self serve beverage dispenser of ice water at each of the bars was a genius idea. I could go on and on! The evening was Absolutely Perfect! Thank you to Sarah and our evening team leader Rebecca! Outstanding.
