David made our wedding dinner so, so special and was extremely attentive to us the entire night. He made sure the bride and groom were served first so that we could eat (so many couples don't have the luxury!) and kept our champagne flutes topped throughout the dinner. Planning is easy with David, don't expect him to reply right away but he always does and he is extremely flexible. Not to mention the quality of the food was spectacular, I saw many of our guests go back for seconds and we hardly had any leftovers at the end of the night! All of our guests raved about the dessert table. His prices cannot be beat in San Diego, we would love to hire him again!
Wonderful food! Lots of great options to choose from, friendly servers, and great pricing. David was very communicative and accommodating; we enjoyed our tasting with him, and the food was highly complimented at the wedding!
Delicious food, excellent service, and affordable!! David was easy to work with and was very flexible with us since we had to postpone our wedding 3-4 times due to covid-19. When the day finally came, we could not be anymore happier with the food and service! Since we had around 200 people, they set up 2 buffet tables where the staff serving the food, 2 drink stations with water, tea and coffee, and also did the cake cutting and toasts. My favorite was the chicken and the beef from the carving station! I honestly cannot believe how much we spent for such excellent food and service they provided. I absolutely recommend Affordable Affairs for any of your events and personally cannot wait till my next one so I can hire Affordable Affairs again.
This is THE BEST and most affordable catering you can hire in San Diego. My husband and I went to various bridal events and did individual tastings will all our top caters, and Affordable Affairs had no competition. David worked with us to make the perfect menu that our guests STILL talk about. He has a way of customer service, communication, and execution that is beyond anything we saw elsewhere. We are SO happy we hired him for our wedding catering, and we could not recommend him and his staff more! For any foodie looking for a caterer, Affordable Affairs is by far the best option!
David is amazing! He was professional and easy to work with through the whole process. He was incredibly flexible and went above and beyond to customize my menu for me. I had many other tastings during my caterer search, and Affordable Affairs was the clear winner. On the days preceding our wedding, David was very communicative about what would happen on the day of the wedding. The day of the wedding went so smoothly- my guests raved about the food and efficiency of food service. The staff is top-notch as well-- you could tell that they've had many years of experience. Thank you so much David for taking such great care of us on our big day! --Sarah and Ren
David was great, and his team was great! I booked them for my wedding and everyone loved the food and went back for seconds. The chicken is amazing, I dont know how he does it but none of those chicken was dry or rubber, they were perfectly cooked. he had everything we needed and did it all with great professionalism. I recommend them for any event.
Affordable Affairs catered my wedding and they were amazing! The food was great and the staff were all extremely nice and professional.
We got a good price for the amount of food and bar tending services we needed. Very flexible and he has more than 20 years of experience, so he knows what he's doing.
