Highlighted review.
Absolutely everything was perfect. The initial proposed menu went flawlessly with our theme. Staff was incredibly kind and helpful. Great communication, affordable pricing, and stellar quality. Outstanding service throughout the evening. My husband is a bit critical when we eat (and I adore him for it) and he absolutely raved about the food. Two days later we’re still hearing how great the food was, and we can’t wait for leftovers tonight before we head home!
Alfred provided us with excellent service, all my guests were happy with our menu, and Alfred was very careful about allergies and food restrictions.
Alfred is what you wish all of your wedding vendors were! Honest, fair, thoughtful, and experienced! He was super flexible to our needs and customizations, and an absolute pleasure to work with. The food was deciduous and he even made sure my husband and I had apps and food set aside in all the excitement of the event. His team handled much more than food and was crucial to our 275 person wedding reception being perfect!
Any questions?

Thank you for your kind words, we LOVE what we do!
In todays world of so much negative thoughts, your words keep us doing.
May your hearts be blessed with so many more great memories
Alfred is amazing! We ultimately chose him because he was extremely knowledgeable, the food is DELICIOUS and affordable, and he had a lot of great tips for planning beyond catering. We just knew that he'd be a great part of our wedding team and would make everything run smoothly. He is also extremely helpful and flexible. Our guests were extremely complimentary of the food and they LOVED the meatballs and cheeseboards during cocktail hour! We highly recommend Alfred's Catering!!! :)
Alfred's Catering and team were absolutely amazing to work with. From the moment I hired Alfred and his team, Alfred checked up on us, added little touches here and there, made a menu completely from scratch to fit our every want! Our guests raved about the food (we served breakfast for dinner) and could not stop complimenting the service. I could not recommend them enough! Alfred himself was on the floor working with his team to get food out of the kitchen and made sure we were taken care of with little care packages at the end of the night. 5/5 does not even cover it! Thank you Alfred and team for making my night memorable and delicious! 😊

Thank you, i wish you and your family many more memories to come
Food was delicious and alfred was so amazing and helpful
Alfred is the best. Not only is the food amazing, there’s a wide variety to select from.
His business was a preferred vendor off my venue’s catering list and I understand why. They coordinated so well together!
The day of the wedding he made sure my husband and I were well taken care, having food, drinks and appetizers constantly available to us.
Highly recommend!
I can’t recommend Alfred’s catering enough. From the very beginning we were floored by his friendliness and ability to help out as much as he could. Truly a professional throughout our wedding and the food was absolutely amazing, received so many compliments from our guests!

We chose Alfred's to cater our wedding because the pricing was affordable and they had a lot of options to choose from! Alfred really knows what he is doing when it comes to providing full service catering for a wedding! I really appreciated that he and his staff picked up linens/rentals for me, passed out a champagne toast, and cut our cake without tacking on additional fees. The food tasted great, and some of our vegetarian guests were raving about the Eggplant Parmesan we ordered! During the planning process, it was sometimes hard to get ahold of them by email. They also didn't have any formal payment system set up and seemed a bit disorganized when it came to secretarial matters. Also, when we were cutting the first piece of cake for photos, Alfred suddenly jumped in and decided to do it for us- not sure what was up with that!

We used Alfred's catering for my son's wedding. He was amazing! He is so experienced in the business that as a bonus acted like a wedding planner and was the source of so much advice for me. The food was delish! The service amazing! Of all the pieces to the wedding puzzle, it was nice not having to worry about the catering piece.
The food was amazing and everyone loved the food and selection! They were so helpful and kept the place looking clean and neat. They even helped us cut the cake and serve drinks! So glad we went with Alfreds!
Um wow I cannot praise Alfred's catering enough. They were amaaazing!! I happened to find them online through google and I was initially attracted because of the relatively low cost. When looking at the wedding menu options, which is on their website, I was further intrigued because there were soooo many options. It was seriously extremely difficult just to choose what to taste. I contacted them immediately. I was nervous that the food wouldn't be that great because it seemed so cheap compared to other caterers. But let me tell you, I was completely blown away. Every single thing we tasted was savory. They have both classic and very unique menu options. Everything we tasted was so good that I seriously would have let them cater my wedding with random food choices that I hadn't even tasted. I was that confident in them. We did have to pay a tasting fee but once we signed a contract with them they credited the amount we paid to the total cost. The wedding went smoothly and flawlessly. The food was amazing again- just as it had been at our tasting. And we got so many compliments. Alfred himself did our tasting and was there working during our wedding as well. He was so friendly. We could not have had a better catering experience. So thankful for them and probably our best spent money.
We were THRILLED with Alfred’s Catering and can’t recommend them highly enough! Alfred was incredibly kind and easy to work with. We met with him several times, going over different menu options. Many of our guests commented on how absolutely delicious the food was! Alfred and his team took care of everything and that gave me such peace of mind as we had 340 guests to feed. I would highly recommend Alfred to anyone looking for the very best in a caterer!
Alfred's Catering provided affordable, individualized, and friendly service. Alfred was readily available to answer our questions prior to the wedding. We asked for a special menu because I am vegan, and Alfred provided exactly what we wanted. The food was delicious. Many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the food. There was a small hiccup with dishware during the wedding reception, but it ultimately was solved.
We highly recommend Alfred's Catering!
At Your Service saved me after my first caterer backed out just a few months before my wedding. Alfred, the owner, was willing to work with me on menu options, price, and presentation. Even though I chose to go without full service, Alfred chose to stay at my wedding to help serve the guests, keep food and drinks restocked, set up and tear down the equipment, and pick up trash when dinner was through. This man is amazing when it comes to customer service.
