I cannot say enough good things!

Jaki truly made me feel like the only bride in the world. I got married at Church Point Manor on August 12th, 2023, and was in search of an offsite catering team. As soon as I met Jaki, I knew it was right. She was able to answer my questions before I knew them, keep us within our budget, and help create a fun and different menu for our wedding. She was wonderful to work with throughout the entire planning process. On the day of the event, her and her team were unstoppable. They were there early to help setup and ensure everything was perfect (which it was). Not only were they so helpful and friendly, but the food was absolutely AMAZING. You never know how the food will be at a large social event, but it exceeded our expectations by 10000. The catering team even made plates for me and my husband so we could mingle and didn't have to do anything ourselves; they always made sure we had a full drink in our hands.

I learned a lot about hospitality from the crew at Grand Affairs, and will never forget how special they made us feel. They feel like family now, and I will always recommend them.

30 Anniversary Vow Renewal

Our experience working initially with Jaki started and ended with top notch professionalism and responsiveness. Grand Affairs was affordable for our event and the food was delicious. The banquet room had all of the finishing touches requested and Jaki and team saw my Pinterest board and made it happen. On the day of the event the staff was so very professional and they catered to us and our guest. We felt like royalty! This is one of the few venues in the area that is affordable. Thank you Grand Affairs team! We had a phenomenal time and will tell everyone about our amazing experience and call on you all again for our next event!

Grand Affairs Catering- Professional, Friendly, Delicious

Grand Affairs has definitely stood the test of time. They have been around for a long time and continue provide first class catering and event coordinating services. In searching for an offsite catering company for my daughter's wedding, Grand Affairs was the one (and only one) company that responded immediately & consistently, as well as, provided all the needed details up front. Multiple others responded sometimes, if at all, and just didn't seem interested in catering anything. I knew after my first phone conversation with Jaki that Grand Affairs would be catering our event. If you have the pleasure of working with Jaki, she is wonderful, attentive to detail, organized, and over all a nice person to work with in planning such a special event. The whole process was enjoyable and very flexible. The day of our event was exactly as planned and envisioned, and we have Grand Affairs and Jaki to thank for that. Our Grand Affairs catered buffet was visually beautiful and everything was delicious and perfectly prepared. Additionally, Michelle, Robert, and crew were all very professional, personable, and friendly as they coordinated the happy hour, bar, and meal. I cannot say enough positive things about Grand Affairs (in fact NO negatives) and our experience working with them. I highly recommend them for any event. You will not be disappointed.
