My wedding at Comber Hall was an absolute dream come true, thanks to the incredible service provided by Fancy Fiesta Catering and the flawless planning and coordination from Barbara Salazar. The food from Fancy Fiesta Catering was outstanding. Every dish was prepared to perfection and bursting with flavor. The passed hors d'oeuvres were a huge hit with our guests, and the entrees were beautifully presented and delicious. The wedding cake they created was gorgeous and also incredibly moist and delicious. We received endless compliments on the quality and taste of the food. Comber Hall was the perfect setting for our special day. The elegant ballroom was exquisitely decorated, creating a warm and romantic atmosphere. The staff was attentive and helpful throughout the entire event, ensuring that every need was met. But the true star of the show was Barbara Salazar. She handled every detail with the utmost professionalism and care, going above and beyond at every turn. Her expertise in wedding planning was evident in the seamless execution of our big day. Barbie kept us stress-free and allowed us to fully enjoy our wedding! We are so grateful for her exceptional service and dedication! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect celebration, and we highly recommend their services to any couple planning their special day. -

Amazing Wedding!!!
When your daughter ends the night by thanking your "For the wedding of her dreams", there is not much more you can ask for. Barbie Salazar from Fancy Fiesta made the entire wedding experience seamless. Barbie lead us through the entire process with professionalism, calmness and valuable advice. She recommended all the vendors we used. Every single one was amazing and added to the reception. The food and drinks from Fancy Fiesta were beautifully presented and very tasty. The decor was beyond what we imagined. From the lighting, to the flowers, to the music - everything was perfect. Barbie's timeline keep the reception moving and there was never a dull moment. Be best of all was getting to know Barbie, she is an amazing woman who we consider to be a friend. -

If you’re wondering if you should hire A Fancy Fiesta for your wedding, think no further and look no further.
We started working with Barbie at A Fancy Fiesta since November of 2020 to plan our dream wedding. After meeting with Barbie for the first time, we knew that we wanted to work with Barbie.
Barbie was phenomenal. She is detail oriented,
efficient and very easy to work with.
Our dream wedding is no longer a dream but a reality, thanks to Barbie.
The food, the decorations, the music, the venue, the church - everything was just perfect.
I couldn’t ask for a better experience.
Barbie, you rock!♥️
You deserve more than 5 stars.

“I wouldn’t have changed a thing.”
“I wouldn’t have changed a thing” was the sentiment from the bride, the groom and the guests at my daughter’s wedding this past month. Barbie and the entire team at A Fancy Fiesta totally captured the vibe we were looking for, blending the cultures of a Hispanic bride and an American groom. The food, the music, the decorations of the beautiful Comber Hall was everything we were looking for. Barbie even surprised us at our home two hours before the ceremony delivering the bouquets herself. During the reception, she was readily available whenever we needed anything and many of the guests noticed her calm, reassuring presence throughout the night. We highly recommend A Fancy Fiesta. -

It was a pleasure working with Fancy Fiesta to put together our daughter's wedding reception. They were professional and catered to everything that we requested. Our daughter's reception took place 11 month after the actual church wedding due to the pandemic but Barbie and her team's attention to detail and sensitivity made it seem as though timed stood still. The food was excellent and the party and Hora Loca were over the top. Our sincere appreciation to Fancy Fiesta and their entire team. -

The Absolute BEST!!!
Our experience with A Fancy Fiesta was nothing short of exceptional. Every last detail of our wedding was perfect. The food was spectacular and the entire evening was magical. Everyone raved about how beautiful the venue was and it was so easy and convenient to work with a one stop shop for all our wedding needs. Barbie Salazar was incredibly professional and put so much attention to our event that I couldn't help but feel that she was part of the family. Do not hesitate to hire them. The absolute best!!! -

Exceptional!!
Like many Couples this past year, we had to postpone my daughters wedding from February to June. Through the whole process Barbie was incredible to work with. She helps what could be an extremely stressful time into something that will forever be remembered as Magical. From deciding on the linens, to the food, to even the last minute details, she made the whole experience effortless. Even the day of the Wedding she was texting me and letting me know everything was coming out great and to relax and enjoy the day. I did! My guests couldn't stop talking about how elegant and classy everything was. If you are looking for your day to be Magical and beautiful do not think twice about hiring this #1 Caterer. I know I will definitely use them again in the future.
Bless you A Fancy Fiesta Catering, you helped us make our daughters day MAGICAL!! -

Perfection
When writing this review, it is hard not to get emotional. I proposed to my wife in May at the beginning of the pandemic. We first spoke to Barbie a month later. The first available date in 2021 was in April where Comber Hall and our church were available.
Barbie gave us some initial ideas and we assembled a rough contract. Barbie put up with my constant worries about the pandemic and whether our wedding would be the wedding my wife deserved. The guest list constantly changed, which altered our amenities at the reception. Barbie never took issue with this, and was always agreeable to changes we wanted to make.
In December, we tasted the food and cake, decided on tables, chairs, silverware, linens, and flowers. Barbie was wonderful in providing us all the different options and giving us her recommendations.
As you can imagine with the initial distribution of vaccines starting in December, January through March was extremely hectic with respect to our guest count. Barbie, as always, was extremely patient with us and worked with us on all the changes. In the few weeks leading up to the wedding, Barbie took over coordination with our vendors: photographer/videographer, saxophone player for cocktail hour, and Salty Donut (party favor).
By the time of the wedding, we were set to have about 100 people. We got married at the Church of the Little Flower, right next door to Comber Hall. Because Barbie has such a good relationship with our church, she attended our rehearsal the day prior. She didn’t have to, but she did because she wanted to do everything in her power to make sure we had the perfect wedding day.
Before the ceremony began, Barbie was in the church helping the groomsmen and fathers with their boutonnieres. She worked with the photographer and videographer on getting all the pictures I wanted before the ceremony. My wife got ready at the Biltmore Hotel down the street. When the ceremony was over, Barbie’s focus was completely on us, making sure we got all the photos we wanted.
We had our cocktail hour on the first floor of Comber Hall. During cocktail hour and after all our pictures in the church and outside were complete, Barbie took us to the second floor where the reception would take place so we could see it. We were greeted with a welcome drink (mojito) and hors d’oeuvres.
Here are our comments with the various components of the reception.
1) Music. The DJ (UBIS Music & Lighting) was fantastic. Our reception started around 4:30 and ended at 10:30. The dancing began at around 6:15. People danced the whole night. We provided the DJ with a few must play songs and let him run with the rest of it.
2) Percussionist – La Hora Loca. THIS IS A MUST. This was the best 30 minutes of the reception. I completely recommend it. Everyone was having so much fun with the party light sticks. The percussionist had me and my wife playing the drums. My dad was even shaking a morocco. There are tons of videos now of us having the best time with our closest family and friends. I will cherish that memory forever.
3) The food. This is A Fancy Fiesta’s staple. The hors d’oeuvres were incredible. For dinner, we had churrasco steak or chicken with a mango salsa. We even had a mushroom tower vegetarian option. We also had chicken fingers for kids. Barbie also provided 3 highchairs for the smaller children. We loved the food when we tried it months prior. But the guests raved to us about the food, and frankly we are still hearing about the food. Around 9:00 pm, we had cubanitos brought out with plantain chips for those that needed a late-night bite.
4) The alcohol. 7-hour open bar. The bartenders were great. This is based on your guests, but I will say that our guests had enough alcohol in them so that no one was shy when it came to dancing. Like I said, my wife and I have pictures, videos, and memories of having a blast with our closest family and friends.
5) Tables and Flowers. Barbie knew just how to make my wife’s image—of how she wanted everything to look—come to life. Everyone has their own preference, but I was in awe of how beautiful the flowers and tables looked.
6) Market Lights. Because our guest count was a little lower than what we expected, we added the Market Lights. If you’re interested, ask Barbie to show you a picture of how it looked. IT WAS GORGEOUS. At one point, I was on the fence about whether to add the market lights since many of the photographs were going to be taken when the sun was still out. But even in the daylight, it was beautiful. It put the ambience of the reception on another level.
7) Cake. Barbie uses Edda’s for the cake. We did a semi-naked vanilla rum cake. It was gorgeous. Once again, our guests said the cake was absolutely delicious.
8) Coffee Cart. We did the coffee cart. We had a lot of coffee lovers and they were obsessed. A barista made the coffee. We made sure the coffee cart was available for when the cake was served and also for when Salty Donut arrived with the donuts. The donuts were our party favor.
9) Masks. We provided masks if guests wanted to wear them.
When the reception was over, my wife and I walked down the street to the Biltmore where we stayed.
Not very many days in life are perfect. It was perfect for me because I married my best friend. Barbie was an integral part of making sure our wedding reception matched my feelings. I cannot thank her and A Fancy Fiesta enough.

Beyond All Expectations
There are not enough words to describe how blown away we are with A Fancy Fiesta and Barbie. It was truly the best decision we ever made. She worked with us through all the changes up to seating changes 2 hours before the wedding. Truly speechless. I could not have imagine a more magical wedding without her. The food, flowers, DJ, everything was amazing. Guests actually called us and contacted us for days to let us know how amazing everything was and how incredible the service and Barbie was. Even people who are never impressed went out of their way to note Barbie and the service and how incredible the food was. Absolutely the best decision we made to do it all with A Fancy Fiesta. -

Barbie and her team were absolutely amazing!!! We cannot thank Barbie enough for everything that she did for us in making sure that our wedding day was beautiful and smooth. She worked with our budget, quickly responded to our calls and e-mails and was very kind and flexible while planning a wedding during the pandemic. Comber Hall is absolutely STUNNING, and our guests could not stop talking about how DELICIOUS all the food was!!! My husband and I wish we could deliver their food to our apartment... it was so so good! Everything was absolutely perfect on wedding day thanks to Barbie and her wonderful team. Barbie even fixed my hair throughout the wedding and brought me food and drinks :) THANK YOU THANK YOU! - Mel & Nico
