    The Fairy Godmother of Events

    iSpire Catering & Events WILL bring all your visions to life.
    I was a bride who thought I would be able to completely plan my wedding solo. I was quickly overwhelmed and lost complete control. Yet, from the first call with Sandra I felt at ease and knew I came across a planning GEM. Following the call we set up a tasting and from the moment my husband and I walked in we knew we were finally in the right direction. On display, was different table settings, from simple to extravagant, variety of bouquets and other add-on services. The food at the tasting alone was enough to seal the deal but her knowledge and attention to detail was the just what I was missing. Once confirmed, Sandra helped with menus, event layout, and so much more.
    I even mentioned how with my growing guest count I may be with out a photographer(if my friend couldn’t help out) and the day of her husband came and captured some photos and Sandra assisted with the poses.
    Honestly, I don’t know what kind of wedding I would have had of had not found Sandra and her team. Her knowledge, patience, and overall support is something that truly carried me down the aisle. If had to do this all over again, iSpire is the first on my call list.

    P.S. My guest still call me and talk about how good dinner was at my wedding. Don’t miss out on iSpire Events

    Anxiety Aborted! It was Amazing!

    OMG I feel speechless. My anxiety leading up to this day was off the chain but on the day of the wedding everything was perfect and beautiful. Sandra was a pearl to work with, her input, suggestions, guidance, professionalism, and most of all her patience were top tier. The food was delightful, and the decorations were breathtaking. I would recommend her 1milion times over. Thank you so much Sandra - Ispire Catering & Events.

    I thought I wouldn’t need a planner but boy was I wrong!! I was quickly overwhelmed and lost complete control.

    Ispire came through after our other caterer (Keyshays kitchen) cancelled last minute on us. Ispire was a life saver and was flexible with our time and budget!

    Amazing Experience

    I got married in August and I'm just getting around to writing my review. My experience with Ispire Catering and Events was AMAZING! My Mother passed away 8 days before my wedding so a lot of things on my end fell through the cracks and the owner picked up my slack and went above and beyond. The decor was beautiful and the food was amazing. Our guest are still talking about our food. I'm beyond thankful to have the caterer we did. The day was hectic because of me but everything turned out great. I believed my Mom had her hand in that day. I really can't say enough good things about Ispire Catering and Events. You definitely won't regret booking with this company.

    Ispire Catering and events's reply:

    Thank you so much Amanda! I really appreciate you kind words. It was indeed my pleasure and an honor to have been part of your special day! I am so sorry for your loss and I wish I had known about your mom. I wish you and William all the best as you embark on another phase of your life!

    Wow!!! Our day was so special!! Ispire Events and Catering was a lifesaver for us! The decor for our wedding day was absolutely beautiful and elegant.

We knew from an instant that she was the perfect fit for our special day!!! Please don’t ever stop bringing joy to couples on their wedding day. You are truly making a difference in the world!

    Great atmosphere, FOOD, and service!!

    From the day we met Sandra at the 2020 VisArts Wedding Fair she has put her best foot forward. It has been a great pleasure working with Ispire Catering and Events. My sister, Fiance, mother, mother-in-law, and I were very impressed with her food and decor set up. After talking to her for about 15 minutes we were pretty much sold and eager to talk to her further. I emailed Sandra to inquire about her services. I received immediate feedback and we set up a time to meet.
    Prior to our first meeting Sandra, she asked us about our wedding details to get an idea of what our vision was. When we arrived for our consultation, we were pleasantly surprised that Sandra took the initiative to set up her room decor with our colors and table design that we had told her. She reviewed her packages. Throughout the process Sandra was very communicative. We were able to have our tasting and were very impressed with the quality of the food and the excellent taste. Everyone loved Sandra! Once we signed with her, she even recommended Day of Coordinators, Stephanie and Karen. Another great characteristic of Sandra is her patience. Sandra worked with us to come up with our floor plans for both the ceremony and reception, menu, and was genuinely just a positive entity in our wedding journey. The day of our wedding, Sandra and her staff were extremely professional. We were able to start and finish on time and our guest were fed in record time! Sandra went ABOVE and BEYOND, surprising us with amazing decor add ons to make our ceremony and reception even more beautiful. She even provided decor for our cake and the bridal suite at the venue! After the wedding, we received many compliments from guests about our wedding décor and how good the food was. I highly recommend Ispire Catering to anyone looking for catering for a special event. Working with Sandra is like working with family and despite the pandemic altering our original date she was flexible and graceful with any changes that we made. You can tell that she truly loves what she does and that this is her passion!! My husband Justin and I look forward to working with Sandra for future events. Sandra was not just a vendor for us, we truly consider her a part of our family.

    Ispire Catering and events's reply:

    Dearest Regina and Justin it was truly an honor to have been part of your wedding day. You and Justin are one of my best couples blessed with a perfect weather on you day! I wish you both a blessed and happy life!

    Magical Wedding Day

    The day of the wedding , Sandra and her team really went above and beyond to make sure everything I wanted was included in the experience. She went the extra mile to add certain touches that I was not expecting but was very pleased with. I had a covid wedding and the planning process was stressful but it was all worth it when I seen the finished product from my vendor. I would recommend!

    Best catering EVER!!!!

    Sandra was the best HANDS DOWN! She made my husband and myself feel more like family than her clients. Her food was perfect, decorations was perfect, EVERYTHING was PERFECT! She was on time with everything we asked for and if we needed something changed last minute, she got it done for us. I already told her when we have a baby shower she is the first one I am calling to cater it!

    Sandra was amazing to work with! Even during the planning process that I was pulled into (as a friend of the groom) , it was as least painful as it could be:) She's friendly, organized and was really willing to bend over backwards to ensure my good friend's wedding was a huge success. I COMPLETELY recommend her without reservation!

    AMAZING FOOD!! Great wedding thanks to Sandra!

    Sandra is fantastic! We were lucky enough to have Ispire Catering decorate and cater our wedding. Sandra is experienced and great to work with! Firstly, the food is great! Sandra’s food has the comfort of a delicious home cooked meal with a lot of flavor. We knew we loved the food, but we were so happy to learn that our guest loved the food too! We had a Sierra Leone/Mexican wedding and she was able to really help us incorporate both cuisines into the menu. We had a very diverse guest list at our wedding, and everyone raved about the food. Also, the décor turned out great! Sandra was able to make our vision a reality. Lastly, Sandra is great to work with. She is very flexible and was able to handle any curveball that came our way the day of the wedding. We are lucky to have the opportunity to work with Sandra!

    Best choice I made was hiring Ispire Catering and Events. Sandra was super understanding and willing to work in a budget for us. Everyone at my wedding couldn't stop talking about how gorgeous everything was decorated. The food was good and the atmosphere was perfect because of Sandra. I would definitely hire her again if I ever needed a caterer or decorator lol! Erika H

    Ispire Catering and Events provided excellent catering services for my July 8th outdoor wedding and reception. The food, decorations and hospitality exceeded my expectations. The owner, Sandra, was absolutely wonderful to work with throughout the planning stages. Her passion for quality service is reflected in everything she does. She strives to make events memorable, and she did that for my husband and I (and our 250 guests). I definitely recommend Ispire Catering and Events for any occasion.
