We booked AAC for our wedding on 11/11/23 as the exclusive caterer offered by Fete the Venue. We had our tasting with them and they gave us multiple choices to try from and they we...
re full portions! We were so full after and everything was delicious.
We were VERY happy with ACC on our wedding day, the food was great and the presentation was beautiful. Even when they cut our cake for us it was so neatly placed. My husband and I did not have to get up at any point for food or beverages. A member of their team got us food right away and brought it to our table and would periodically come back to see if we needed seconds or anything to drink. We really appreciated her! We actually got to eat at our wedding! Haha! We did have peace of mind knowing they would accomplish our requests because they work so closely with the venue. So any special requests seemed to flow with ease. Also with booking with them through the venue, they did not charge a service fee. Side Note: We did ask if we would be able to take any leftovers home after the wedding but they said no for health safety reasons.
I took away a star because there were a few things we did not find easy when working with AAC. The cooks and waiters were superb but management was where they dropped a few balls. After we booked them I had a hard time getting a response back from them. I even had to have Sarah, the sales manager from Fete the Venue reach out to them to get us some type of response. Lastly we needed to switch our method of payment for one of our scheduled payments, and we provided them with the updated payment with plenty of time, and received a confirmation of the update. Yet on the day of the payment, the wrong form of payment was still processed. When I reached out to see what happened, I was again, left with no response.
When writing this review I had to decide the star rating. I did this based off outweighing 1 of 2 things:
#1 The long 2 years I had to deal with not being able to have good communication with this company, and #2 having exactly what we asked for on our wedding day.
With that being said, I gave them 4 stars because they were not the worst to work with and they did execute the day with flying colors, and our guests and us loved the food and service.
Above all catering was absolutely fantastic. Fernando and his team were amazing! The food was perfect! All of the staff went above and beyond their normal job! We have had more com...
pliments on the food, service and how they went above and beyond for us on our special day! Fernando, Alex and the other 3 ladies were absolutely fantastic. I hope that they receive the recognition that they deserve! Alicia was our wedding planner from day one we had our tasting and she made sure everything was perfect! We could not be more pleased with the services we received.
From the beginning Valerie made this process a piece of cake! Everyone was so nice and attentive. The food of course was amazing! All Above Catering was the last place we decided t...
o go to and we are so glad we did. The goat cheese crostini was my our favorite! The assortment of dessert made our wedding feel like a fairy tale. I had a few special requests that needed to me met the day of and they were done without questions. I was able to email or call at anytime and I never felt like I was inconveniencing them. I definitely recommend Above All Catering, they were amazing. Thank You!
We tried to contact this company three times, and they didn't even have the courtesy to return our phone calls. I wouldn't have hired an unreliable company like this even if they ...
had called back after my third call.
Food was great and service was impeccable.
I was very happy with Above All catering. The staff was amazing and the the food was great. All of my guests commented on how impressed they were and that is saying alot. My onl...
y complaint was that Maggie, the manager that assisted us, was a big personality, she had trouble getting back to me at times, and we had asked for a plate of food to be set aside for my husband and I to eat, but it never was, so sadly, we never got to enjoy the food that we selected. All in all I was quite happy and would use them again.
We used this caterer for our wedding reception in Aug. The food was excellent and service was very professional.
We used Above All Catering for our brunch on the morning after the wedding. They were efficient and the food tasted delicious!
I was surprised at how accommodating Above All Catering was! I had tasted a chicken entree at another caterer but liked Above's side dishes better. Above remade the chicken for me...
and let me come in and taste it three times until I thought it was perfect. I had so many compliments about the chicken on the night of the wedding. They also threw in hot chocolate for free! My only complaint was that we ran out of bread at the reception but other then that there was plenty of food!!
