  I could not have asked for a better caterer. Justin and team were cool from the start and super flexible, and nothing was ever a big deal, on top of that, the food was so good and the staff and service were on top of it. Three Cheers for Huntington Catering Company!
  
  The southern specialty menu is tasty, and comforting.
  
  Thank you!!!

  All in all, the staff did a great job. I received many many many compliments on the food and the servers were very attentive in serving the appetizers and keeping the tables stocked with water. The family style serving also received a lot of compliments. The staff also did an amazing job with the clean-up in the short amount of time they had and everything was set up beautifully. I would recommend Simply Elegant for any large event in a heartbeat.
  
  There were a few minor hiccups with some out of the ordinary special requests, but the guests didn't know any difference. We had a great time and his team worked really well with my coordinator so I didn't have to think (much) about the details.

  Highly recommend this vendor

  I interviewed several catering vendors for our wedding (over 10) and am extremely happy I selected Huntington. I can't say enough about their service and flexibility and I thought their overall pricing was very fair. Both Justin and Venessa were terrific to work with and they were very responsive and professional. We did a few tastings prior to our wedding and they were very flexible on the dates and times and accommodating of our requests for our vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free guests. Justin listened carefully to our needs and took good notes and they delivered on all our requests.

Justin listened carefully to our needs and took good notes and they delivered on all our requests. We asked them to provide the cake and at the tasting, we selected 3 flavors to taste and they provided 6. This was one example of them going above and beyond. Justin previewed the site prior to the event (it was a backyard wedding at a private residence) and drew a diagram so everything was scoped out prior to the event. The day of wedding, they showed up on time with their crew and all the food tuned out awesome. Their service staff was very professional and did a great job of taking care of our guests. They were a big part of making our wedding day so special. I would highly recommend them and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

  They're amazing! Book them now!

  Huntington Catering is THE BEST! I've been using them for years (family functions, memorials, parties, etc, most recently my wedding. I had a whopping 250+ guests and they handled everything from start to finish. I had them cater the tray passed apps, 3 bars, buffet for dinner, dessert station and then fresh pizza to offer to guests on their way out. The staff are exceptionally professional, but never stuffy, they're extremely hospitable and friendly. Huntington's pricing is not only competitive, but when you hire them, you see that they're cheap for how amazing the full package turns out. Highly recommend them! You won't regret it.

  What can I sayyyyyy. They're great!!
  
  Huntington Catering Company was a preferred vendor for my venue, Millwick. I CAN SEE WHY. Hiring them was a packaged deal! Our venue raved about their service staff, and the fact that they provide rentals and bar staff, it was a no brainer for us. Plus, duh the food was great as well! We got to have two tastings, which I thought was great.
  
  And just rentals again! I just thought that was awesome. I didn't have to search for other rental places, which saved me so much emailing and researching and signing of more contracts. We rented everything from extra tables, chairs, bar tables, linens, dinner ware, serving dishes,... Read more

We rented everything from extra tables, chairs, bar tables, linens, dinner ware, serving dishes, barware, heat lamps, just everything.
  
  Justin and Vanessa were great to work with! I had SO MANY EMAILS! But they handled them all! Communication with them was awesome. We even requested late night snacks and wanted dirty dogs. They came thru with that!
  
  Then the big day. The wedding. They were so awesome. I didn't give much direction on how we wanted place settings and napkins to go, but they made it look great. Everything looked so great. Service staff at dinner was awesome. I only had a few tray passed apps since I couldn't be there much for cocktail hour due to picture taking, but those tasted so good as well.
  
  And the bar staff. YES. THEY WERE SO AWESOME. Our guests loved them. Whoever the french-candian dude was, my friends and family couldn't stop raving about you. And the guy at the inside bar, whoever you were, THANK YOU for putting up with my friends inside. My friends and family are pretty crazy. I only spoke to him for a bit, but he was real nice. Everyone was! Hope he enjoyed the strip show that happened.
  
  Everyone loved the food as well! We had family style dinner, and everyone said it was more than enough.
  
  The week of the wedding, they allowed us to drop off all our alcohol at their offices. YAS. And we got to pick up leftovers the next day with no problem.
  
  Thank you soooo much!!!

  We loved working with Mike!! He is one of the nicest guys! And his food is delicious!! We went with Argentina Style Flank Steak served with chimichurri sauce and Cilantro Lime Chicken for our 130 guests. Mike also had a kids menu for the kiddos at our wedding -- chicken nuggets and mac and cheese. Our guests were so complimentary of our selections and as I walked around taking photos, I noticed that a few extra vegetarian plates had also been served to guests who I didn't realize were vegetarians. Mike -- as always -- had planned ahead and was ready for anything. I highly recommend Mike and Simply Elegant Catering.

  Huntington is honestly spectacular in every way. We just got married this weekend, and the guests all raved about the food. When we first started looking for a caterer, we had booked four tastings but Huntington was the first. After we tried Huntington\'s food, we cancelled the others because we loved what we saw and tasted. They even did a second tasting for us closer to the wedding so we could make sure we would love everything they served, and changed flavors to make sure we had everything just how we wanted it. They handled our over 200 guest count like it was nothing. We wanted family style service, which they accommodated easily, and served more than enough food... Read more

Their servers were all so sweet and personable. Every step of the way, Justin was so calm and efficient; my husband actually channeled Justin to calm me down when I got anxious at the day of the wedding- Justin has become our definition of how to keep our head in the right place! I have really never been to an even where everything that came out was so consistently good, and I am so proud that it happened to be at our wedding! Also, their prices were excellently reasonable. I can\'t recommend Huntington Catering highly enough; I promise you won\'t be disappointed.

  Justin, Barbara and their whole team were awesome from start to finish! Not only were they so pleasant to work with, but the food was great! Admittedly, we weren't the "easiest" clients as we had special requests, but they were so accommodating. After our tasting, we had some adjustments (e.g., less sauce, more crispy, things like that) and they executed those perfectly on the day of the wedding. Service on the day of the wedding was also fantastic. There was at least one dedicated server making sure that me and my husband were being taken care of. At one point before the ceremony and when the guests arrived, it was pretty hot outside and literally as I was just... Read more

At one point before the ceremony and when the guests arrived, it was pretty hot outside and literally as I was just thinking I could use some water, Justin walks up with a tray of water asking if our wedding party needed any. You will not regret hiring them.

  Mike and his team did an incredible job with the catering for our wedding. He was easy to work with and quickly incorporated our requests / changes following our tasting.
  
  We had loved our tasting but we're curious to see how it might be different for 165 guests: Our guests raved about the food, and we definitely had some tough customers. Our guests loved how moist the salmon was, the variety of the appetizers and the great sauces for the tri tip. Mike was able to provide the food In a family style format which we really wanted and turned out great.
  
  Mike was wonderful to work with and definitely surpassed our expectations.

  SO wonderful working with HC -- Shannon and Justin were helpful at every step of the way, easy to reach by phone and email, and really delivered the day of. They were super flexible with our tastes and food preferences (hello churros!) and were able to adapt the reception menu to our budget. Waitstaff were professional and EVERYWHERE so that nobody went hungry or thirsty.
  
  The food was delicious.. altho truthfully I was too busy at the wedding to enjoy much of it :/ All of our guests raved about their chicken and waffle appetizers and their mushroom ravioli.
  
  FYI they offer full service rental eg you can get chairs, tables, linens, etc etc along with your meal and bar service. This was very convenient one-stop shopping!

  Wow! Mike and his team at Simply Elegant Catering did an amazing job with our wedding. From the begging of the planning process to the end, Mike was able to handle any and everything when it came to catering our wedding. He worked with us to create a menu and food options we desired for our wedding reception and rehearsal dinner, giving us several options as well as giving us suggestions and the option of creating special dishes. Our venue was a blank slate and he was able to handle everything when it came to renting all the chairs, tables glassware and everything else needed for our ceremony and reception of over 120 guests. He was professional as well... Read more

He was professional as well as personable throughout the whole process and was a text message away when we had any questions. After two weeks we are still receiving great reviews from our guests on the quality of food and the professionalism of his team. I would recommend Simply Elegant Catering to anyone and will be contacting them in the future for any catering needs. Thank you Mike and your team for making our wedding such a special day!

  Mike is suchc a great person to work with. He really takes the time to listen to the bride and groom's needs. I would recommend Simply Elegant to anyone looking for excellent catering for a wedding.

  Simply Elegant Catering was one of the first vendors we signed, because we were totally blown away by their food. Mike, the owner, worked with us to give us whatever we wanted -- lamb kebab instead of chops? No problem. Caprese on a stick? You got it. At one point, my fiancé admitted that yes, he was looking forward to the wedding, but also to the reception appetizers!
  
  Mike was very responsive and helpful, going above and beyond to give us a place to store our alcohol ahead of time, and providing "props" for our reception free of charge. He was always welcoming and enthusiastic, making us feel like he was excited to be a part of our... Read more

  Mike was very responsive and helpful, going above and beyond to give us a place to store our alcohol ahead of time, and providing "props" for our reception free of charge. He was always welcoming and enthusiastic, making us feel like he was excited to be a part of our wedding. We never felt like we were just "a job."
  
  Mike's servers were friendly and professional, and the food they delivered the day of the wedding was just as good as what we'd experienced in our tasting many months before. We got a ton of compliments on the food from the guests, and the special cookies and milk shooters he provided were a wonderful end to the night. Seriously -- the cookies? Mike provides them when you come to meet with him. I think I may have scheduled more meetings than actually necessary to get more of those cookies.
  
  We were so impressed with Mike's cooking that we also booked his storefront venue for our rehearsal dinner. Again, Simply Elegant did a great job of catering and keeping our party happy.
  
  I heartily recommend Simply Elegant for your wedding, but make sure you sit down and eat that dinner on your special day, or else you'll just have to hear your family raving about it months after the fact without getting to enjoy it yourself!

  My wife and I received rave reviews about the food that Huntington catered for our reception. Even the carnivores liked the all vegetarian fare. Huntington was open to working on a vegetarian menu and provided nice options for the appetizers and entree. They were able to give us two tastings and were accommodating with their decor and our requests for certain beverages and glassware. A couple of things we would have done differently and this is more on our end and probably not Huntington (but maybe Huntington can talk to the couple about in the future): Our reception was in a friend's lovely backyard and we asked our family to come about 45 minutes early for pictures around 5:15....

A couple of things we would have done differently and this is more on our end and probably not Huntington (but maybe Huntington can talk to the couple about in the future): Our reception was in a friend's lovely backyard and we asked our family to come about 45 minutes early for pictures around 5:15. We had the beverages starting at 6pm. We didn't think to have the iced tea, water and lemonade available for the the early guests (family) while they were waiting around. Also, I would have asked the caterers to make my wife and I a plate of all the appetizers and set it at our table. They were passed trays and we weren't able to partake on most of it (probably 2 out of 6 apps). Huntington made us plates from the buffet, which was great but having the apps would be great.
  
  Overall, I would definitely recommend this caterer. Great communication via email and phone. We felt a great vibe and energy from them from the beginning. (note reception was on 7/26, about a week and a half after wedding)

  Simply Elegant is the best option available for catering your wedding. They are SO flexible, SO nice, and SO helpful. From the moment I first met Mike Faulkner, I knew I wanted him as my caterer. He was very friendly, and obviously cared about giving me the service that I was looking for. He didn't try and sell himself, he simply did everything possible to give me what I imagined for my wedding reception. Then I tried the food, and it was over-the-top, incredible! You will not regret hiring Simply Elegant. They are professional, and know exactly what to do in every circumstance. You'll get exactly what you dreamed for your wedding reception.

  We had the most pleasant experience using Mike Faulkner and his company, Simply Elegant Catering. The food was delicious and he provided an abundance of all selections for each guest. From the delicious salad to the tender tri-tips and flavorful salmon and sides, everything was perfect. The wait staff was very friendly and did all they could to respond to any and all requests. They never acted imposed upon, but always quickly and positively responded to every request. They charged very reasonable prices for everything and were flexible to offer any alternative that might help contain costs. I cannot imagine having a better caterer to work with or to take care of a special event.
