AMAZING! Highly recommended!

Hiring Alfred as my caterer is probably one of the best decisions I have made in wedding planning! He is affordable, knowledgable, and will do anything to make sure your special day runs smoothly. His staff are professional and his food is phenomenal! I come from a family that normally complains about wedding food, but they were RAVING about Alfred's! My MIL even asked if I could contact him for the recipe!

COVID changed so many aspects of our wedding, but Alfred was flexible and helped us make our "social distance" wedding a reality.

Alfred's Catering Is WONDERFUL

Alfred and his team worked with us all along the way to build a menu that was just what we wanted for our wedding. They were responsive, gave us some great coaching on what to choose, and were impeccable at both our reception and the rehearsal dinner.

If you are looking for a caterer that makes top-notch, delicious food, is VERY experienced, and will make sure you are taken care of through every step of your wedding, Alfred and his team should be your first choice.

Um wow I cannot praise Alfred's catering enough. They were amaaazing!! I happened to find them online through google and I was initially attracted because of the relatively low cost. When looking at the wedding menu options, which is on their website, I was further intrigued because there were soooo many options. It was seriously extremely difficult just to choose what to taste. I contacted them immediately. I was nervous that the food wouldn't be that great because it seemed so cheap compared to other caterers. But let me tell you, I was completely blown away. Every single thing we tasted was savory. They have both classic and very unique menu options. Everything we tasted was so good that I seriously would have let them cater my wedding with random food choices that I hadn't even tasted. I was that confident in them. We did have to pay a tasting fee but once we signed a contract with them they credited the amount we paid to the total cost. The wedding went smoothly and flawlessly. The food was amazing again- just as it had been at our tasting. And we got so many compliments. Alfred himself did our tasting and was there working during our wedding as well. He was so friendly. We could not have had a better catering experience. So thankful for them and probably our best spent money.
