    Best Caterers Ever!

    We are so fortunate that we got to work with By Design for our wedding at the Fountain of Youth. Tasha and Marshall make a great team. They coached us through the whole process and they were extremely easy to work with.

    The hors d’ourves were amazing (datil pepper meatballs and shrimp and grits) and the entrees were delicious. The service was professional and friendly.

    We can’t think of a single thing that we would change. It was perfect. We highly recommend By Design.

    Truly a joy during a Pandemic

    Tasha is truly a wonderful woman to work with. Plus, she makes some amazing food. She is very professional and well organized. Tasha is extremely knowledgeable in her field and it shows from your very first conversation with her. She will give you tips and suggestions without being overbearing. Oh yeah, did I say her food is amazing? Her food is amazing!

    Fountain of Youth March 8

    They were amazing! We wanted to incorporate our Latin flavor into our food and they worked with us and made it come true! Everyone loved the food and we did too! Wonderful to work with Tasha and her husband I recommend them to anyone who wants a unique and flavorful food experience.

    By Design Catering's reply:

    Bridgette, Thank you so much for letting By Design Catering be a part of your forever memories. Marshall and I are so happy we were able to bring your Latin fusion menu to life! It was important to us to get that menu right for you two and your families.

    Best Caterer Ever!

    Hiring By Design catering was probably the best decision I made during the whole planning process. Tasha was so wonderful and made my special day so seamless and easy, i literally didnt have to worry about anything as soon as she showed up.

    I got asked by many of my guests who my caterer was because the food was so delicious. She thought of everything, even setting aside a special plate for my husband and I because we couldn't get to the food before it was already being devoured (who knew it would be so hard to eat at your own wedding)

    Tasha and By design catering were worth every penny and I recommend them to everyone. I will definitely be using them for any future events I plan.

    By Design Catering's reply:

    Thank you so much! We loved your morning brunch beach wedding. It was very original and your guests were great. The best part was watching everyone playing at the ocean as we left. We wish you two the best and hope we get to serve you again soon.

    Best caterer in the area

    My menu choice for my reception was beef tenderloin, roasted garlic chicken, garlic mashed potatoes, green beans, with pre plated salads. My cocktail hour menu was a salsa bar, shrimp with grits, and meatballs. My guests raved about both menus and the staff! Such a great caterer for an affordable price!

    By Design Catering's reply:

    Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It is our pleasure to have served you and your guests. If you ever need us in the future we are here to serve.

    By Design Catering - THE BEST!

    By Design Catering knocked it out of the park! They catered my son's Rehearsal Dinner. I requested fresh, off the dock that day, grouper. And, boy did they deliver! The fish was so delicious! I asked it to be blackened and I don't know what their secret spices were, but it was soooo good! My son loved it! That was the goal! He is a fisherman and knows his fish well. So, it was important that it be to his standard - which is pretty high. Tasha and Marshall are amazing to work with. They are pleasant, professional, and caring about making your event special. Their serving staff and bartenders were also top notch. It was a great evening! I would highly recommend their services if the quality of your meal and the service is something that is important to you. They will not disappoint!

    Tasha and her team did our Welcome Party for 80 people buffet style and our wedding cocktail hour, 210 guests sit down served dinner, and a late night pass. Everyone loved their food and service! Excellent service, excellent food, and excellent bartenders. Our guests wanted for nothing! They were perfect!

    Many thanks to Tasha and the dream team at By Design Catering for delivering outstanding food and service during my destination wedding in St. Augustine on February 17, 2018!

    By Design was featured on a list of about 10 approved caterers for my venue. I messaged every vendor, and Tasha's prompt, warm and professional email response immediately sold me on working with her team. She asked to chat and we had a long, thorough and productive conversation about my budget and preferences for my reception menu. It really put my mind at ease to work with someone so professional... and someone who seemed to truly appreciate my business.

    When planning a destination wedding, it's important to work with vendors who have excellent communication skills... and Tasha's communication skills are impeccable. She was easy to reach throughout the entire planning process. Catering is the one thing I never worried about during planning, thanks to Tasha's professionalism and easy communication style.

    Tasha worked with me to conceptualize and create a lovely reception dinner that included butler-passed canapes, an elegant table-service meal and BEAUTIFUL assorted desserts... all within my budget. She made great suggestions to help me stay within my budget while still offering a delectable dining experience for my wedding guests.

    The execution was flawless. Our food was delicious. And the service was seamless... particularly impressive when you're serving a crowd of 114 very hungry people.

    Thanks again to By Design Catering for making my wedding extra special!

    Tasha, her husband, & her crew were great! They catered my rehearsal dinner and reception dinner. She knew my background, so on our first meeting she presented customized meals with a Jamaican flare. She gave me options and her opinions, but at the same time wasn't too pushy. Everything was cooked perfectly & flavors were delicious. Prices are great! She even remembered I love bacon & gave me extra to sprinkle on my meal.

    Tasha did such a great job for our wedding. She rolled with all the changes I threw her way without blinking an eye. All of our guests commented on how good the food was. Service was exceptional too.
