My husband, Kevin, and I interviewed several caterers for our wedding, and immediately fell in love with Alex. A family-run business, Alexander Catering Co. is the perfect blend o...f down-home charm (I’m from the South, so I appreciate that sort of thing), high-class service, gourmet food, and professionalism. The task Kevin and I gave Alex was not easy: create an experience for our guests that would feed them but make them want more (like dessert); offer a cornucopia of options ranging from French to Southern, gluten-free vegan to just-slaughtered, and open table to plated. To make things more complicated, we expected a few orthodox Jewish folks, knew about ½ our guests would not drink alcohol, and we were on a budget (that we planned to keep).
When Kevin and I met Alex, it was in a small room at the end of his kitchen where he served us everything we had selected from his menu – and even dishes we were contemplating – as though we were in a restaurant. As we ate, we asked all kinds of questions, and Alex answered every one of them without disappointment. His communication skills went beyond the kitchen – we don’t know he did it, but Alex responded to every annoying email, call, and text we threw his way.
My son and I are legit foodies, so we did not expect a wedding caterer to rise to the level of a 4-star restaurant. Alex insisted that we bring “leftovers” home (which included an appetizer and a dinner that we were only curious about), and when my son the Foodie tried them, he loved them all.
That evening on our way home, and ever since, Kevin and I marveled at the amazing experience, quality of food, and genuine customer service Alex and family provide. It is extremely rare that we come across someone with such work ethic and pride who owns a company that provides impeccable service – so when we do, we tell everyone we know. To this day, Kevin and I share our experience with anyone who will listen, and continue to use Alexander Catering for everything from Thanksgiving to Girls’ Weekends.
