This company was included in the cost of our All Inclusive Venue. My husband and I were blown away with the taste of the food when we went for the tasting in January of 2025! We c...
hose the Pulled Pork, Bourbon Chicken over rice, Casear Salad, Southern style green beans and Mashed Potatoes! We have been to weddings before where the food was raved about and then, once we tasted it, we thought otherwise. Let's just say from that day in January to June 14th, 2025, our worries were gone! We knew if nothing else the guests would enjoy the food at our wedding! Our venue cost included 100 guests whether or not 100 people came, so, we did not have to worry about giving final counts. Evelyn, at 3C's said if we needed Kids' meals ( We did, approximately 8 of them) they would include them at no charge! They also included Vegan and Vegetarian Options at no charge! The food was delivered to our venue and the venue staff served it. We were able to take the leftover food home, although there really wasn't that much left! ( And we didn't have 100 guests, which means people went back for more!) just one pan of Chicken and some Mashed Potatoes! The sauces and everything else were gone! I highly reccommend this company! If you are getting Married at The La Belle Group in Tampa, this is the exclusive catering company that they use. They have an Upgraded menu as well as an option for charcuterie boards or tables for cocktail hour, however, we stuck with the regular options and used the venues' brie and meatballs option for cocktail hour to stay within our budget! Since our wedding day, on June 14, 2025, we have gotten nothing but great compliments on the food and questions as to who did the food for our wedding day! This company is amazing! We will most definitely return to them in the future if we have an event we need to cater!
After nearly a dozen tastings with other catering companies, my wife and I found 3 Cs Catering.
From the start, they won us over with great food options, great service, and great ...
pricing!
They were incredibly helpful on the day of our wedding. Quick, courteous, and kind.
All of our guests raved about the food! We were able to feed a party of a little over 200 people in less than an hour! They hand delivered our meals to make sure we ate first and were prepared with everything they needed for service.
We will be using them for all of our upcoming events and we are very thankful they made our day extra special.
3 C's Catering was AMAZING at our wedding! First, the food was delicious - everything we ate was so good and the guests agreed. John was communicative and professional. Second, the...
staff went above and beyond, especially making sure we (the bride and groom) didn't miss a single appetizer while we were off taking photos. They brought us a huge plate and treated us like royalty all night. They were so friendly. One amazing lady from the staff even joined our grandpa on the dance floor during one song, making the party unforgettable and so fun!! I was thrilled with their fun, friendly energy at the wedding. We highly recommend 3 C's!!
I cannot thank 3 C's enough for catering my husband and my special day. The consult and taste testing were so thorough and easy going. John truly is amazing at what he does, he mad...
e the tasting was so much fun and I knew right away I made the right decision when hiring 3Cs for the wedding day. On the big day, the team set up the buffet and charcuterie board so beautifully that the guests were highly impressed. The staff even made it a point to save the bridal party some apps for us to eat while taking pictures before they were gone. The food was fantastic, the staff was fantastic, and the setup was truly amazing. I highly recommend this team for your catering needs.
We had a wonderful experience with 3 C’s Catering for our wedding. John worked with me every step of the way and was able to accommodate guests with dietary restrictions. ALL of ou...
r guests raved about the food and went back for seconds!
We were very fortunate to stumble upon 3C’s catering at a vendor event. Our families had a few samples to taste and fell in love with the food. From that point on, between phone ca...
lls, emails and the tasting - it was an amazing experience. We worked with John and Evelyn throughout the process and they were kind, responsive, and did whatever they could to make our day special! We wanted a unique experience for our guests and they were able to help achieve that with a grazing table, food stations (with all different cuisines) and even passed out Cuban espresso shots during our cocktail hour. The food was delicious, the service was top notch and we would highly recommend working with 3 C’s catering!
Three C's catering impressed us from the first initial contact regarding price and arranging a tasting. Evelyn and John were my contacts throughout and they were always available a...
nd easy to work with. The food was great and there was plenty! Evelyn decorated the buffet tables so beautiful and even purchased gold utensils for the event! The crew noticed set up was behind and lent a helping hand to the coordinator to ensure the wedding went smoothly. This company excells at catering and making quality food, but they go beyond what is required and made sure they do whatever they can to make the night go smoothly. I will absolutely use them in the future for catering events. Really wonderful people!
I can't recommend 3 C's highly enough! Their entire staff is so friendly and welcoming, and they ran things so smoothly. When I first reached out for a quote, John was super respon...
sive and helpful. He literally spent an hour on the phone with me going step by step in detail of how his staff would run the event so we knew exactly how food would be served and what to expect. We asked if they could lead cake cutting and pass out champagne for the toast, and he talked us through what that would look like on their end and how we needed to prepare so they could execute. When we went for our tasting, the staff visited with us like we were old friends, and it made it so much fun. Not only is their service great, their food is delicious, and their prices are really reasonable and affordable compared with other local competitors. We tasted multiple caterers, and 3 C's was by far the best food, best service, and best price. We had a buffet style dinner and passed hors d'oeuvres and the most beautiful charcuterie board at cocktail hour. They did a great job decorating their buffet tables to match our decor so everything looked nice and fit together. If anything, their food was probably TOO good - it was all our guests could talk about! This is a great company run by great people. I wish I could throw another event just so I could hire 3 C's again.
I cannot say enough good things about John and his team. From the MOMENT I had my first tasting I felt at ease. Not only is the food delicious, it’s fresh and clearly made with lo...
ve. They did our wedding and John let us do a second tasting as my husband missed the first one and just as nice and professional as the first time. Always responsive to any inquiries I had. Evelyn also who designed the setup for the food and took care of me and my hubby all night she did not miss a beat! My guests are still talking about how good this food was 3 weeks later! They work within your budget and are super honest and upfront if they think something may not work and gives you options to make it work! I can’t stop raving about them. Thank you John and team for putting in your passion and making my wedding so memorable.
We truly enjoyed 3 C’s catering! We did food tasting back in March on st. Patty’s and enjoyed ourselves there after some beer tasting. Catering with them on our wedding day was gre...
at. We chose the chicken, beef, mashed potatoes, salad and corn. Everything turned out delish! They made sure my groom and I got our plates first to enjoy our meal (also specially made me delicious salmon bc I’m a pescatarian). My groom had special Mac n cheese just for him and was given the whole bowl of croutons when he wanted some more lol. He was thriving. Thanks y’all for your catering we enjoyed your service! :)
We are very happy to have hired Three C’s Catering for our wedding. There was great communication in the beginning and they offer a lot of options to choose from. On the big day,...
the food was a major hit and was complimented highly by our guests. We highly recommend Three C’s for your wedding.
We hired 3 C's for our wedding a few years ago, and they were amazing! We wanted a mostly-vegan menu with a few actual meat options available, and they were so helpful. They gave u...
s several suggestions, and we decided: the entree was option of chicken breast and/or portobello tops in a delicious bourbon sauce, sides were roasted potatoes & vegetables in olive oil & herbs, rolls, and salad, and the apps were buffalo cauliflower bites, meatballs, veggie platters) and they hit a home run with it! All of the food was fresh and delicious, cooked to perfection, and we got a ton of complements from friends & family about the menu after the wedding.
3 C's Catering was beyond great to work with! Our wedding food was absolutely fantastic. We received SO many compliments from our guests on how good the food was. They are the BEST...

3C's was AWESOME! My husband and I had a brunch wedding, and the food was incredible. I had several people tell me how much they enjoyed the food - especially the bacon! For the pr...
ice, the quality of the food was incredible. 3C's was very reasonably priced as compared to some of the other caterers I had gotten quotes from. John and Evelyn were so helpful leading up to the event, and they really helped our vision come to life. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a caterer for their event.
Excellent food, easy to work with, and fabulous service! We opted for the Mac-and-Cheese bar at our wedding and it was a huge hit. Highly recommend 3 C's!
I could go on and on about 3 C's and their amazing customer service, flexibility, pricing, and spectacular food. We didn't want a traditional meal served at our wedding, and John a...
nd the entire 3 C's Team were more than willing to work with us to make everything perfect. We had a taco bar and added on a brisket carving station - our guests loved everything! Not to mention the gouda sliders we had during happy hour, people are STILL raving about how delicious they were weeks later. We would definitely recommend 3 C's to cater your wedding! You will not be disappointed and definitely will not leave hungry

f your staff deserve my biggest hugs. So caring, so thoughtful. They let us hang in the kitchen and snack with them during cocktail hour. everyone was perfect
It was decent they were punctual, I felt they could have had better communication amongst themselves. We had to serve our own cake their own staff didn’t do it
Very good food with no complaints, everything was cooked appropriately and tasted great. They made sure there was plenty of food as well. The real MVP of 3 C's however was their ba...
rtender Heather. She kept the bar line moving with 150 guests all while catering to us during the event (greeting us at the end of the aisle with drinks and keeping us hydrated throughout the night). She is an absolute professional.
My husband and I had booked a caterer who had dropped us 2 months before our wedding due to scheduling to many weddings on the same day, I called around looking everywhere for cate...
ring, everyone was booked! I got in touch with 3Cs and they were so friendly and told me they could cater our wedding! The staff was so great I called/emailed them about a 4736 times before our wedding and they got back with me every time and made my day run so smooth. The other plus side of this company is they have such yummy BBQ!!
Our wedding was about a week ago and the food we had was delicious! Heather and the rest of 3C's catering were great to work with. We wanted to serve vegetarian dishes at our wedd...
ing and the catering staff was more than willing to make whatever we wanted that was maybe not on the original menu. Once we decided what we wanted, they checked for the pricing of what they would need to order and were able to give us an estimate in a timely fashion. At our reception, we had spinach and cheese ravioli and then potato gnocchi with basil, olive oil and such for our non-dairy eaters. We were very happy with their service and I know others will be as well.
Andy, Heather, Julie, Alex and everyone at 3 C's was amazing to work with for our wedding in May! From the tasting to the service on the day of, they were completely professional a...
nd accommodating! At the reception specifically, we had a guest who was unable to eat part of the meal, which we were unaware of, but 3 C's quickly brought her out a different plate with food that she could eat. The food is delicious and our family still talks about their Broccoli Cheddar Casserole! Delicious! I am so happy we chose them for the best day of our lives and would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone! Great service and very awesome, friendly people!!
Absolutely delicious! Will definitely use again and recommend without hesitation!
I am so happy we decided to use 3 C’s catering for our wedding on 2-25! The great customer service started at the private tasting with Andy! Other tastings I went on were not priva...
te and you did not get to choose the food you tried, with Andy I was able to completely customize our tasting menu so we could truly select what we wanted at our wedding. He even created a “bacon bar” idea we had even though it’s not on the menu, and he completely knocked it out of the park! Everyone loved the food the night of the wedding. We did more passed hors d'oeuvres during cocktail and dinner, and there were plenty of staff to get it all passed quickly, and it was all delicious! The mini fish tacos and meatballs are to DIE for! My only “negative” would be is that I wished we added on a third pasta action station attendant or that they had already slightly cooked the pasta and just reheated a little at the station, it did take close to 2 hours for everyone to get through the line and it was still slightly cold when served. However, everything else was great and I would definitely use them in the future and suggest them to every future couple getting married!
We had a great experience with 3C's. During the tasting we knew we found the right caterer for our wedding! Andy was wonderful in answering all of our questions and putting togethe...

The staff during the reception was great from what I heard from guests. The only request I received from a few guests is that the food was so good they wish they could have had more at the reception!
3 C's Catering was wonderful to work with! The staff were very helpful before and at the event and the prices are very reasonable. The food was great! Especially the macaroni and c...
heese! We would recommend this catering company to anyone throwing a special event :)
We discovered 3Cs Catering as a recommendation from our reception venue. At our first meeting and tasting with 3Cs, we knew we wanted to book with them. Their staff is very friend...
ly and the food is delicious. We received multiple compliments on the food on our wedding night (even from other vendors who ate!) and my husband & I were able to eat full meals with no issues - they made sure we were fed! The only couple minor things that came up were that we aren't sure that the kids got their specialized kids meals (from what we heard from their parents) and there were some small communication issues earlier on in the planning process - but the owner Andy made sure the night went perfectly, and it did! The service was wonderful. They are very professional and had a wonderful setup. They were even able to execute our idea of having a personalized milk & cookie bar as part of our dessert menu - it was a big hit! Thank you Andy & team for making our wedding night so memorable!
Andy and his team are top notch! They were so pleasant and helpful. Always available for questions, concerns, suggestions. Quick response time.
It was seriously like working with...
old friends! They allowed us to completely create our own menu. No cluster menu choices. We even used a family recipe for one of our options! They did it all. From the tasting to cutting and serving the cake, 3 C's made it smooth and enjoyable!
