    Amazing team, service and food!

    Wow! We can't say enough good things about Fords Fluent N' Food. They are so professional and they make sure every detail you're looking for on your wedding day comes true! And of course, their food is incredible! We found them at a local wedding show and it was the best thing we ever did was hiring their team for such an important day in our lives. They were always one time, ready to help, and put their heart and soul into their business, you can feel it!

    I would highly recommend this company for your wedding or next big catering event! And they also have their own wedding venue in Cary, NC! We already had our venue booked when we booked them for catering, but I know they run both businesses well and they truly care about the couples and making their dreams come true! Thank you so much Natasha and John for everything you did for us to make our day so special!

    Fabulous food

    John is an amazing chef and catered exactly to what our wants and needs were for our wedding. The cheese and fruit display during cocktail hour was a huge hit. The sliders and fries bar toward the end of the evening was beautiful and delicious. Could not have asked for better food!

    Curated menu, gorgeous appetizers, delicious!

    We had a bit of a tricky situation since both my now-husband and I are vegan but had plenty of meat-eating guests. We wanted southern comfort meets fine dining with vegan options that even the most carnivorous guest couldn't resist, and Fords developed a completely unique menu item of TOFU CHICK'N AND WAFFLES!!! which is my favorite dish and they let us modify an existing package to do exactly what we wanted. Paired with southern short rib, brie mashed potatoes and braised brussel sprouts with a delicious salad, apple jicama slaw, and even fancy cucumber water, everyone was SHOCKED by how delicious the tofu was and how yummy everything overall was! No one even knew the appetizers were vegetarian/vegan and simply commented on how scrumptious they were. Fords took care of scraping the dishes clean and repackaging them for our rental pickup so we didn't have to worry about that. Food was my biggest concern for the wedding trying to balance what I was comfortable eating and what guests would like, and now all I can complain about is that we don't have anymore of it left to eat!

    Great food!

    We were very happy with our experience with Fords Fluent N’ Food. We originally were scheduled to get married in October of 2020, but, due to the pandemic, rescheduled for July of 2021. Chef John did a great job of communicating with us throughout this time and made sure that we could taste the new Summer menu. Everything, particularly the appetizers, was absolutely delicious and brought lots of compliments from guests. We were especially impressed with the snacks that Chef John prepared for us while the bridal party was getting ready before the wedding. It was a great touch that really showed that Fords Fluent N’ Food goes above and beyond.

    A dream to work with!

    As a wedding planner, having quality, professional vendors on the wedding day makes all the difference. Fords Fluent n' Foods was not only amazing to work with leading up to and on the wedding day but their food is to die for! All of the guests and the bride & groom couldn't say enough about how perfectly the food was cooked and presented. If you are a couple looking to hire a unique, delicious, professional caterer for your special event without breaking the bank, definitely contact Natasha and Chef John at FFF. - Tara Ruffier, Certified Wedding Planner, Premier Party Planners.

    Super Delicious Food!

    Natasha and Chef John are absolutely outstanding! They bring out all the stops and make sure your wedding meal is beautiful AND delicious! They made sure my new husband and I got to have the hors devours at our cocktail hour and even made us an extra one that we loved at our tasting but didn't get to choose for our guests. They also plated our food and brought it out to us before everyone had been served so we had a chance to eat at the reception. They seriously go above and beyond for their couples! Looking around I noticed our guests were eating every last bite on their plates - they loved the food! Natasha and Chef John are professional, kind, organized and so easy to work with. I hands down recommend Fords Fluent N' Food!

    Food and service was amazing

    I wasn't expecting the food at my best friends wedding to be amazing. I love food. I've been to some amazing restaurants, ( ex. Bern's steak house in Tampa Fl ) I was pleasantly surprised! The food was amazing no short cuts, tender meat, excellent cuts, nothing bland about it! Phenomenal food and service!

    Genuine & best money I’ve ever spent

    The best decision I made was hiring the Fords. The husband and wife team truly are passionate about what they do. I prefer to work with a company who cares about the true quality of food. Everything they do is genuine, fresh and brought tears to my eyes.

    Thank you Fords for making my day one of the best memories of my life. Quality is everything. If you want quality, hire this company. Most companies are no good. This company will make you proud and your guest rave.

    There is no comparison!

    The second I walked in, I was impressed. I was greeted warmly by Natasha Ford, who was so responsive on email that I felt like I already knew her! We then sat at a beautifully decorated table and the wine was poured :-). The food prepared by Chef John was sooo delicious! We had the sausage and pepper empanada and the basil chicken. We savored every bite! I cannot wait to eat at my wedding! Food is something I will not have to worry about on my wedding day because I am 100% confident that Chef John and Natasha will take care of everything!

    Best wedding food ever

    Natasha and Chef John and their team helped make our wedding day everything we imagined and more. The food was perfection, people are still talking about how good it was. They were so easy to work with, communicated well throughout the planning process, were professional and flexible to work with. I would recommend them 100 times over.

    Great food and staff!

    We absolutely loved the food and the owners are so sweet and go above and beyond any expectations you could have ever have! Do not look anywhere else but them. No one could stop talking about the food! The chef and his wife are heavily involved in every step. They make you feel like family. Their setup is absolutely beautiful!

    Most amazing food and staff!

    Natasha and John are simply wonderful from start to finish! They made us feel so comfortable at our first tasting with them and the food was just delicious. We didn't even bother to try other caterers because we felt so at home with them and the food was so good. Their process was simple from picking out menus, getting special plates for guests with dietary needs and finalizing all smaller details that they would take care of on our wedding day. Their service the day of was nothing short of professional and they bring some of their own decor to add, so the buffet is dressed up for the occasion. I couldn't recommend them enough!

    Absolutely Delicious Food

    I can't tell you how many weddings I've been to with standard "wedding food". Dry chicken, over cooked steak..and I really wanted to make sure the food at my own wedding was tasty and different. The food from Ford's was really amazing. We did 3 passed hors d'oeurves at our cocktail hour - the standout being the fried green tomato caprese. SO many of our guests mentioned this one afterwards! And for dinner we did the shrimp risotto and the short rib. We also got many compliments on the dinner food! Natasha also made sure that my husband and I got our food as soon as we sat down and that we were happy. They're extremely hard workers and we are so happy we went with them.

    The best decision you will make

    If you are on the fence about hiring the Fords for your wedding, GET OFF THE FENCE AND BOOK THEM! You will regret it if you don't! How do you even begin to describe the absolute perfection they provided for my wedding? I already knew the food was going to be above amazing, but the communication, the prepping, the team, the professionalism, all of it was there. Almost everyone that attended my wedding made a comment about how delicious the food was! Especially the mac N Cheese bar. (And yeah, it's legit made on site and phenomenal!). Even my father-in-law, who runs a meat department, raved about how tender and perfectly cooked the sirloin was. Mema (my husband's grandmother), has called me 3 times in 3 weeks to tell me how amazing the food was at our wedding. I could go on and on about the "reviews" I received from everyone else and keep you reading for days. But seriously, John and Natasha are incredible to work with, and although I will NOT be having another wedding, I hope to have another big event just so I can hire them! WORTH EVERY PENNY.

    The best food!

    Natasha and John were incredible to work with and produced some of the most amazing food we've ever eaten. We had numerous guests say that it was the best wedding meal they've ever had. It was worth every penny we spent! Natasha reached out to us numerous times leading up to the wedding to ensure that everything was ready to go and we had nothing to worry about on our wedding day. The day of went off without a hitch and we couldn't be happier.

    Natasha and John executed a beautiful wedding at The Barn of Chapel Hill. As a wedding planner, they were always available for a quick call or responded to emails in a very timely manner. They arrived ready to work at the venue and cleaned up quickly and an orderly fashion on wedding day. Their showroom was beautiful and elegant as well! Hands down one of the easiest vendors to work with. The food was delicious, the displays Chef John created was not only beautiful but a work of art to look at! Wonderful team and excellent service and food.

    Knocked it out of the Park

    I cannot say enough about FFF! They were the first food vendor we visited, and we looked no further. Their packages are customizable, their options are unbelievable, and they came to the venue themselves, and worked our wedding. Their staff displayed the same level of passion and positive vibes - which was awesome! It rained on our wedding day, but it didn't stop them from hand-delivering food to our guests - with smiles on their faces. They treated us like family, and all of our guests still talk about how good the food was! You will not regiret choosing them!

    Amazing caterer

    The food and the people who make it are amazing. My husband and I really enjoyed working with Chef John and Natasha. They were incredibly helpful and worked with us to create a perfect meal that thematically matched the occasion, while also taking the allergies' of our guests into consideration. Plus, they're just awesome friendly people.

    Best Catering Company in the Triangle!

    I've had the pleasure of attending many events that were catered by Fords Fluent N' Food Catering. They go over and beyond for there clients and make sure that the guest have the best experience possible. Chef John and Chef Marcus make mouth watering dishes and the buffets are amazingly decorated. The owners put there heart and soul into this company and you can definitely see it through there smiling faces and delicious food!
