In this industry good help can be rather easy to find. But “good” is not what I intend to provide to my clients . My team promises EFFORTLESS and APC is one of the only caterer we trust to work alongside us to provide exceptional service to our clients. They truly live up to their name. Absolutely perfect. From the through planning to the intimate tastings, above and beyond floor plans, and the most pleasant staff on the day of, 100/10 . We look forward to working with Fred and the whole crew again real soon! -The Effortless Sentiments Team -

APC catered our June '24 wedding at the Chesapeake Bay Foundation in Annapolis and we were thrilled with how it turned out! After meeting with and quoting the preferred vendors our venue listed, we were most impressed with the value, service, and experience APC brought to the table. APC treated us to a complimentary tasting during the interviewing process and paid special attention to my gluten allergy, adjusting their tasting menu items so I could enjoy the food too! Another big plus and cost savings for us is that their bartenders will work with you if you provide your own alcohol which was a lifesaver for our wedding budget. We signed a contract with them a year out from our wedding and they were extremely helpful as we made changes along the way, helped us craft signature drinks, and worked with us to edit our contract down to a comfortable price as we added and altered items (adding a higher cost dessert than originally planned and offering a more cost effective protein option to offset it, removing additional bar setups, etc). Our original event manager moved onto another job a few months out from our wedding date, but the president, Josh, stepped in and carried us through to the wedding seamlessly! Our guests raved about the orange crushes and food and said it was above and beyond the standard wedding fare - the Gouda Mac n' Cheese was the biggest hit! APC was very sensitive to guests with food allergies (we had several) and made sure they were taken care of. They worked extremely well with our wedding coordinator, who was also the venue director, and together they set up a beautiful evening. They brought additional decorations on their own that fit with our theme to display on the beautiful buffet and bar they set up so we didn't need to account for it. They also assigned a personal server to my husband and I to make sure we ate and had enough drinks and water all night long. Overall, APC is a super accommodating team, highly experienced, and serves up delicious food and drinks!!! -

Absolutely Perfect Catering was an outstanding part of our wedding in Annapolis. Working with Josh was easy - he was super communicative and responsive. The food was the best wedding food I've ever had! We had around 130 guests and Absolutely Perfect was able to deliver quality at scale. We received compliments from our friends and family all evening. Also - Josh and team were super attentive to us and our guests. They were very on top of it! -

Overall an amazing catering service and friendly staff! They are 100% worth the price we paid! I would say day of service was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! We had a staff member specifically designated to us (Bride and Groom) throughout the night serving us our food and drinks. -

Lori was so helpful in planning the food and organizing the rentals. APC is your one-stop shop for food, venue rentals, and so much more. My guests raved all night about how good the food was. Highly recommend for your event! -

Lori and the APC team put our mind at ease from start to finish. They were extremely accommodating as we built our menu together. Our guests raved about the food and we continue to hear great reviews! The APC team and food selection really helped to make our day memorable. Courtney, the attendant to bride and groom was amazing, making sure we didn't go hungry or thirsty on the big day. :) -

Erin G. Sent on 08/06/2023It was *Absolutely Perfect*!
We were really impressed with Absolutely Perfect from the start. First, their tasting was complimentary (with the biggest portion sizes and best tasting food), when the other two places we went to cost us upwards of $150! Then, Lori did a really great job walking us through the whole process and answering our many questions. Most importantly, they made our wedding fabulous. From the seamless set up, to working with our other vendors, to the incredible service from their very sweet and efficient staff, to the amazing food - they nailed it! At the end of the night, a family member asked who catered the wedding. We replied "Absolutely perfect" and they said "I know it was, that's why I want to know who did it!" It took a couple of rounds of that until they finally got that Absolutely Perfect was the company's name!! :) Really a wonderful company that we are so so pleased we hired for our wedding.

I live in AZ. My daughter in MD. We could NOT have had such a beautiful event without Lori and the team. I would recommend them for any event. Such a professional organization and yet still friendly and so helpful. I was able to call or email at any time and get an immediate response. I cannot say enough good about our event. The entire staff at the event made us feel like we already knew them. Nothing was too small or too big to help me with. This is definitely a group I would not only recommend, but use again! -

Absolute Perfect Catering truly lives up to their name! Everything was quite literally ABSOLUTELY PERFECT from the planning process all the way through execution! We hired APC as the caterer to support our wedding, and they helped to make it truly an amazing day.
To begin, they were incredibly responsive and helpful with the initial planning phase. Their Senior Event Designer, Sarah, helped to facilitate all the fine details of the reception (including menu items, floor layouts, table seating, and more), and was always very patient with us anytime we’d make short-notice requests to change any of the plans. She also organized the pre-event tasting for us, and allowed us to sample all of the delicious items that we planned to have on our menu.
On the day of the wedding, my bride and I arrived to the venue and found absolutely everything to be perfect. They made the reception venue look stunning and decorated everything to perfection. And the food was DELICIOUS…the cocktail hour, the salad, the main course, and the dessert all were incredible…guests reached out to us days after the wedding to compliment how delicious the food was. On top of all that…all of the staff (waiters, bartenders, cooks, etc.) were all incredibly courteous and professional. The event manager, Heather, went above and beyond to make sure my bride and I were attended to, and made everything run smoothly throughout the evening.
I would unequivocally recommend APC to anyone looking for someone to cater a wedding or event! They truly were absolutely perfect!

Absolutely Perfect Catering was so incredible to work with. We had multiple tastings and guests with food allergies and they were so flexible and accommodating! On the day of the wedding, the entire staff was so wonderful and courteous. Many of our guests complimented on the food. We had stations: taco, sliders, and a summer chicken station. Many, many thanks to Sarah, our APC event coordinator who made this day go so smoothly! Can't thank you guys enough! -

APC is a Foodie & Detailed Event DREAM. The menu is extensive and DELICIOUS. My husband is vegan, which is a detail a lot of caterers don't put in the forefront. APC not only put it in the forefront, they called it out every step of the way AND created a vegan meal for our wedding. The office staff was amazing. All communication was timely. All t's were crossed and i's were dotted.
They ensured that we would get the EXACT day that we planned. You can tell that they truly cared about our experience. The staff on site was extremely attentive and very engaging. Our guests were very complementary about the food. We have A LOT of foodie friends, and they were very satisfied. APC ensured not only that the bride and groom were looked after, but also our parents. I cannot rave enough about the service and attention to detail. JUST HIRE THEM! -

Jenny Sent on 06/13/2022Awesome food and outstanding event team
We hired Absolutely Perfect Catering for our May 2022 wedding before we even tasted their food, just based on a recommendation from a family friend. We’d reached out to a few caterers on our venue’s list and were immediately impressed with Sarah’s detailed info about APC’s offerings. From our first conversation, we knew we’d be in good hands with APC, and Sarah guided us through the wedding planning process from start to finish.
We appreciated APC’s flexibility as we had to reschedule our initial tasting multiple times and when we ultimately postponed our wedding a year. And how fun it was to finally meet in person to sample the incredible entrees, appetizers and desserts! The crab cakes and short ribs were both excellent, and the only tough part was narrowing down the appetizer selections because everything we sampled was so delicious. At the end of our second meeting where we finalized our menu, event layout and other details, I realized there was nothing left for me to stress about — Sarah and her team had everything under control.
Sarah and Patty (the event manager), in coordination with our other wonderful vendors, truly made our wedding day awesome. We were delighted by the platter of appetizers and signature cocktails awaiting us after the ceremony, and we appreciated how Danielle checked in on us throughout the night to make sure we had a drink in our hands or enough food. The food tasted just like it did during our tastings, and we heard compliments from our guests all night, not only about the food itself but also about how fabulous the event team was.
Thanks Sarah and APC for making our wedding vision come to life, for being so responsive over the last two (!) years and for offering so much great insight throughout the whole planning process!
