It all started from working as an event planner straight out of college. Meetings and events led to more personalized services as a wedding coordinator. After many years on the planning side, but always maintaining a strong passion for food, I decided to get more focused on learning more about the culinary world and food service. Once I met my husband, who just happens to be a chef, it was a natural progression. We opened up 24 Blackbirds Cafe and Market and the catering grew from there. Many weddings and events later and we're still loving every day making couples and tummies happy!

I used 24 Blackbird Cafe for our wedding and honestly it was one of the best vendor choices I made! The food was great! Tasted the same at the wedding as it did the tasting and all of our guests were raving about the food!! Tara was wonderful in helping us to navigate our choices and we couldn't have been happier! I would 100% recommend them for catering
The only downside I had was the inexperienced bartender that is contracted through a third party BUT Tara helped me navigate that as well and ensured I was properly refunded which was quite a surprise as I only expected to give feedback. I'm so thankful she went to bat for us!! Please note that the bartender is separate from the cafe but I needed to Shout out Tara for her hard work in correcting it for us!

I am so glad that we chose 24 Blackbirds Cafe to cater for our wedding. I can’t recommend them enough! Every single person there was so nice and the food was absolutely amazing. They were so easy to work with and made all the accommodations that we asked for. Tara was so sweet and I’m so grateful they were a part of our day.

24 Blackbirds was the best to work with from the menu selection & tasting. Tara provided us with fantastic food and the presentation was great! The options for our wedding dinner were amazing. I chose 24 Blackbirds because they offered more than others including real plates, flatware and glassware plus their food was phenomenal (Champagne Vinaigrette is a must have)! We had one issue and it was related to our glassware (which was changed to disposable without being informed about the change prior to our wedding). Overall, our experience was fabulous and I highly recommend Tara and her staff!

Thank you for the kind words, Victoria!
We were so happy to be part of your special day an...
d provide delicious food to your friends and family. (Your'e absolutely right...That champagne vinaigrette is super yummy and our fave too!!! ). We do apologize for the change up in the glassware. Covid restrictions on the food service industry and health department guidelines have been challenging to say the least with curveballs sent our way nearly daily. We do appreciate your understanding in regards to all of that. Thanks again for trusting us to provide a wonderful dining experience to your loved ones! We wish you all the best!

24 Blackbirds provided a fantastic meal to our guests. Unfortunately as it was our wedding, we didn't get to eat and enjoy as much of the food as others, but our friends and family were raving about it. The presentation was as good if not better as the food itself. The value is great and Tara was very easy to work with.

Tara and her catering company are amazing! The food was so good, she did the cutest tasting for us, and the day of she was nothing but professional! The spread/setup looked amazing and we had so many people rave about how good the food was. Not to mention she was VERY reasonably priced! Highly recommend her!

Choosing 24 Blackbirds Cafe was the best decision we could have made for our Wedding Day! Tara was so sweet, responsive and offered helpful suggestions! She truly was like working with an old family friend and made us comfortable every step of the way! The variety of choices available made putting together our dinner less stressful and we, along with our guests, were so pleased! I truly believe any combination of the appetizers, salads and entrees would go together! Tara took my pinterest inspired food presentation dreams and made them a reality--the signs, candles and greenery were the perfect touches! When she says you don't need a knife for the chicken, she's not kidding! For our cocktail hour we chose the Dip Trio and the Artisanal Cheese Display. Our dinner was well enjoyed and consisted of the Garden Salad with Ranch or Balsamic dressing, Herb Roasted Chicken, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Herb Roasted Vegetables, and Dinner Rolls. Teas and Water were available as well as plates, silverware and serving staff. Very fair price for the quality provided! I would recommend 24 Blackbirds Cafe for many types of events ---breakfast, lunch or dinner-- I had the luxury of eating a delicious breakfast at work as well, with mini pancakes, bacon/sausage, eggs and grits! If you're looking for a caterer to provide quality service, care about cleanliness and proper food preparation, and leave you with a happy belly and a big smile, choose Tara and 24 Blackbirds Cafe!

As a wedding venue owner, this team knocked it out of the park! We would place them at the top of vendor list with their professionalism, set up presentation and overall quality of service and food. Extremely easy to work with prior to the event and during. Their team can walk into a space, without seeing it before hand, and put together a catering display beyond your expectations. We highly recommend this catering vendor!

Tara was a champ through our months and months of questions, requests, delays, and changes. The magic of planning a COVID wedding from another time zone.
Firstly, the food was DELICIOUS. Everyone, of all tastes and dietary needs, was satisfied. My sister has since asked me what the chicken was (it was Mediterranean chicken with mushrooms, capers, and artichoke lemon sauce) so she can try to replicate it herself.
Tara was also extremely accommodating and easy to work with. Going from 150 to 25 guests, we had extra money in our initial deposit, so she concocted a brunch menu that was perfectly light but satisfying the morning of the wedding. In the early phases when we were picking out a caterer, she also let my cousin have a tasting at the cafe since we were out of state. Overall, I loved working with 24 Blackbirds and would pick them again.

They were a dream to work with. Highly organized, will send you reminders when your next payment is due, & they're willing to create the best menu for your event with you even if it means customization. Not to mention all of their menu options are delicious. They're at a great price-point & will also provide bartenders if you need them. All of their staff is extremely friendly & on top of things. We worked directly with Tara in planning our wedding and she is absolutely fabulous! One of my biggest memories from the wedding is being desperate for food by the time we arrived to the reception... and the second we sat down there she was walking towards us with 2 full plates of food (what an angel). She & her team are so sweet and we are so happy that we booked them!
