    Great food vendor.

    Very glad we went with ToE. They were very flexible and professional. They have high quality options for any occasion.

    Excellent!

    They are really excellent! Savannah was a pleasure to work with. Energetic and super responsive.
    I was so confident everything will be done to perfection and I didn’t worry about it before and during the wedding and danced the night away.
    The food, service and set up was perfect. All the guests were so happy with the food and bar service!
    I cannot recommend them enough.

    Make your wedding menu yours

    They were great to work with. We were able to make a custom wedding menu that was not a boring buffet. We were able to go in for a taste and alter the menu. The communication before the venue is great. I would recommend them for your wedding.

    The BEST choice!

    Probably what I stressed about the most and ended being the least stressful vendor to work with! From the beginning up until the very end of the wedding reception, Taste of Excellence was amazing! You cannot go wrong with any meal from their menu! So many compliments from our guests about the amazing food and service from the staff. We used Taste of Excellence for food, tables/chairs, linens and bar service. The staff was a well oiled machine and if there were any issues I was never made aware. I felt completely cared for the entire planning process. I cannot recommend this caterer enough!

    Absolutely amazing

    Here we sit at the end of our 10th day as husband and wife and we still can’t stop talking about how happy we are with our choice of catering with A Taste of Excellence.
    Kaitlyn Sauers, the senior sales manager that we worked with only had about six weeks to get acquainted, organized, facilitate and meet our expect and without a doubt she went above and beyond to be available and flexible to us.
    We cannot say enough good things about the strength in her work with A Taste of Excellence. She put together a team to ensure that our day had what it needed to be successful and focused her objective on ensuring we were satisfied with not only the catering service, which was absolutely amazing but also that our entire evening flowed and the guests were happy. We are still getting messages ten days later about how fantastic our food was and how fun their presentation was.
    Cindy and Rachel were among the crew that was sent to cater our wedding. They were attentive, professional, receptive and very hard working. They picked up on little things as well as big things and carried on without letting on anything was out of sorts. Rachel made sure I made it down the aisle by getting a little ones together, letting the DJ know, carrying my train up and down stairs and keeping it together. She will forever be in my ♥️ . And our pictures. 😉
    The Taste of Excellence was hired to cater the food service and they completely exceeded their expected duties without hesitation. They stayed over their scheduled time to make sure we had everything we hoped to have that evening. 
    We cannot praise A Taste of Excellence enough for their professionalism, commitment and the love they showed to us on our wedding day.
    Thank you for EVERYTHING ♥️

    Outstanding Service

    Mary Jane and her crew delivered a wedding beyond our expectations! My daughter had her reception at the Cleveland City Hall Rotunda with Catering by A Taste of Excellence. They guided us from booking through the final hour of the reception. Phenomenal food and service!

    Great Caterer

    We changed wedding venues to Market Square at Crocker Park after postponing our wedding due to COVID and hired Taste of Excellence Catering. From day one, they were very responsive all of my questions and unbelievably flexible regarding the menu, allergies/dietary restrictions, etc. The food is incredible, every single thing we had at our tasting was amazing! At our wedding we ended up having the NY strip steak, the salmon with dill sauce, the chicken marsala, and the grilled vegetable tarrine (vegetarian) and mashed potatoes as the side. Everyone raved about the food and the portion sizes. Our only complaint was that they forgot to box up the meals for those who had RSVPed yes and didn't come, but they offered to refund us those meals which was nice. The staff was attentive and kind and everything otherwise ran smoothly. I would highly recommend using Taste of Excellence Catering for any wedding or event!!

    We also got all of our chairs, tables, and linens through Taste of Excellence and loved how everything looked and was set up!

    Great Experience!

    Taste of Excellence catered my wedding on 10/10/2020 and they exceeded all of my expectations! Their attention to detail and flexibility are unmatched. I worked with Kaitlyn for all of my planning and she was responsive to all my questions, super organized and even came to the venue of my walk through to make sure all the details would be perfect. The day of Janette was onsite with me and she made sure everything got done. She stepped into the roll of day of coordinator and took it upon herself to make sure all the details of the reception were perfect. Anytime my family or I were doing setup one of the catering staff would come over and handle it. It made the stress levels the day of so much more manageable. In addition to everything else they did the food was excellent. All of the guests raved about delicious everything tasted. Overall I couldn't have been happier with the team at Taste of Excellence and I would use them again for any catering need.

    Food was delicious!

    My wedding was at Mapleside Farms. Taste of excellence was so easy to work with. Maddie always answered my questions quick and right to the point. All of my guests love the food. We did BBQ and they love it! People are still talking about the chicken. If you ever have any issues or concerns, they listen and make sure its right. Taste of excellence was so easy to work with and the food speaks for itself:)

    excellent food and service

    Medeana at AToE was so wonderful. She was accessible day or night and helped us immensely when we had to downsize from 260 to 50 guests. everyone was raving about the food, we had the salmon and short ribs. every recommendation medeana gave us was absolutely delicious. and i know she did a lot behind the scenes to make the day as stress-free as possible, she noticed we had no champagne flutes for my husband and I to toast with so she ran out and bought some, she set up our dessert table beautifully with some cake stands i provided ( I didn't even have to ask). The bartender poured or shots at the "take a shot we tied the knot" table. The servers were quick, efficient, and covid-friendly. I have a few friends getting married next year and I have already referred them to AToE, I truly can't recommend them enough.

    Great Experience!

    We hired Taste of Excellence catering for our 9/12 wedding and we couldn't be happier with our experience! They were so accommodating and flexible - my husband is from Colombia so we wanted some traditional Colombian food for our wedding, and they did not disappoint! They were even willing to make empanadas from a traditional Colombian recipe that we sent them.
    We had decided to get cobbler desserts from another company, and that company screwed up and delivered the cobbler but not the vanilla ice cream that was supposed to go with it... So Riki, the catering manager, actually ran out to the nearest store to get ice cream, and none of our guests even knew anything went wrong!

    The BEST experience!

    I cannot say enough about Taste of Excellence. They took our ideas and ran with them! We had our wedding at the old courthouse and they brought everything! From the tables, to the chairs, to the linens - they literally brought everything!! We worked with Mary Jane who made our dreams come true. They were so flexible with anything we threw their way. I was so impressed at how professional they were and how delicious the food was!! Guests asked if they had a restaurant because they wanted more food! They do weddings at the old courthouse often and it is a very tricky venue, but they knew EXACTLY what to do for everything. They helped us walk through every single step! I cannot recommend them enough!!

    Full service vendor who will fill you up with delicious food and drinks and help your day go smoothly

    We are so happy to chose to work with A Taste of Excellence for our September wedding at Mapleside Farms. We worked with Karen Levin. Karen was organized in her planning and gave good honest advice. She was organized and responsive through the planning process. They are a full service caterer and took care of tables, linens, chairs, alcohol and food in addition to making the even run smoothly. On the day of the wedding, everything was set up beautifully and exactly as we wanted it. ATOE made everything run smoothly through the day and night. My husband and I (and our guests) were very well taken care of. Everyone told us how delicious and plentiful the food was! I can't be complimentary enough about Karen and the rest of her staff for such a perfect day. They also ended the night smoothly by packing up everything neatly and getting up loaded up to go home. It is truly worth the expense to have such a full service caterer!

    Amazing wedding caterers!

    Taylor at ATOE is simply amazing!!! From our first meeting with her about a year before our wedding, she was so professional, knowledgeable, and wonderful to work with. I was concerned about being able to serve good quality food since we were having a large wedding in my parent's backyard and would need to bring everything in (250 guests). Not only did Taylor assure us that the food would be delicious, but we had multiple tastings where we were able to try every item that would be served at the wedding and provide feedback (it was all great from the start though!) I was also nervous about the process of serving so many guests, but Taylor made sure everything ran seamlessly and her staff did a truly amazing job. Taylor was also super detail-oriented and worked with our planner to ensure everything was set up perfectly according to plan. The night of our wedding I was so blown away by the level of service from ATOE and the quality of the food - and so were our guests who raved about both as well! We would recommend Taylor and ATOE to anyone who has any catering needs!!! They are true professionals and it is a pleasure to work with them.

    AMAZING selection and taste

    Everyone loved the food being served, and talked about it for weeks after the wedding. Even the people who were very picky, loved the food and were surprised themselves. We did the buffet and it worked out perfectly. Would definitely recommend .

    Almost an overwhelming amount of options available to suit any preferences or any style of wedding you can imagine. Many options and accommodations were available to meet the dietary restrictions of guests as well. Not to mention the food was delicious!

    Easy Breezy

    They're certainly a pricier option, but there's no doubt that the level of detail and and easy professionalism they display make your planning experience so much more stress-free. You can be as customized with your wedding as you like, or you can be more hands-free and just approve or decline their suggestions, having a personalized wedding without having to do tons of agonizing detail work yourself.

    Mary Jane Ferris, the wedding coordinator/manager worked with us very closely, she promised us the reception of our daughter's dream and she delivered. She was very patient in working with us, with all our inquiries and questions. She promised the food would be plenty and delicious even though we questioned the quantity, and they delivered. The appetizer table display was so impressive and beautifully spread out, we were told by all our guests that they had never been to a more beautiful reception. The dinner was just as impressive, delicious and beautifully displayed. Mary Jane kept reassuring us not to be nervous and leave things in her hand and we would not be disappointed and she delivered. I would recommend them to anybody. The food was just delicious as well as the presentation and the whole ball room set up was so elegant and impressive. The reception was held at the Blue Heron in Medina Ohio. Beautiful venue with a gorgeous entry for greeting guests with open windows, a fireplace and Christmas Trees were perfect setting four our daughter's Holiday dream wedding. The Main Ball room was even more beautiful with beautiful chandeliers curtains draping the windows and very well accommodating of our 300 guests. The sound from the DJ was also perfect. There was nothing that we would have wished to be any different.

    Stan Hywet Wedding

    Taste of Excellence was SO easy to work with, so so simple to communicate, add on to the package; they set up our dessert table for us and were so involved. The food was delicious and right on time, the linens and chevari chairs were GORGEOUS (and the chair rental is so worth the upgrade). Their team was so lovely and we were grateful to have them!
