Amphora Catering

event and she was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was professional, extremely helpful, returned calls and emails within a timely manner, flexible with my schedule and truly helped make our day special! Her experience with weddings helped guide me with decor decisions and helped my vision come to life. She made sure our special day looked absolutely beautiful and went as smooth as possible. The staff was professional, polite and did an amazing job. Everyone raved about how delicious the food tasted and how elegant the presentation was. I would recommend Xochitl and the Amphora Catering team to everyone!

mazing. On our wedding day, Xochitl did everything she could to make sure the day was delicious and beautiful. The majority of our guests were from out-of-town and had been to many weddings. They ALL raved about the delicious food. Amphora Catering and Xochitl were the absolute best choices for our wedding.

iple compliments from our guests. Some of our favorites included lollipop lamb chops, fajitas, chicken satay, goat cheese tartlets and mini crab cakes. From helping us formulate a menu to the day of - the whole Amphora team were professionals throughout. I should note that we did multiple tastings with other caterers that were SUBSTANTIALLY more expensive than Amphora - for seemingly the same amount of food. Would highly recommend them - great food for a great value!

ff. Our event designer, Xochitl, was phenomenal (definitely ask for her). She helped us design our Brazilian BBQ station and taco bars - which had something for everyone (veggie/GF/etc.). We also had the most gorgeous charcuterie display. The food tasted delicious (we are a family of foodies) and the presentation was outstanding. We would definitely use Xochitl and Amphora again in the future and highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for A+++ food and top-notch professional service. Thank you again for making our day truly special, fun, and carefree!

vendor choice we made that worked out from the very beginning! The room was set up perfectly and our plated dinner went off without a hitch. The cocktail hour food and dinner were both delicious and the staff was as friendly and helpful as could be. As the bride I didn't need to worry one bit about the service that was provided, AND they saved me a plate of appetizers since we were taking photos during the cocktail hour. The other bonus for me is that I cannot eat gluten and they had no issues keeping our menu celiac friendly. Highly recommend them to everyone I know.

mphora staff. The tasting room was our first clue that we had chosen the right caterer, with its beautiful decorations and displays of what Amphora was capable of. Throughout the planning of our wedding, Amphora staff went above and beyond to help us with our menu and were on site during our venue walk through at Oatlands - the two vendors have a great relationship with each other! During the wedding, Amphora staff made sure we were comfortable and even has staff dedicated to us to ensure we had time to eat during the busy day. Xochitl, our point of contact for the wedding day, was so nice and accommodating and I heard from numerous family members that she made a point to ensure everything was going smoothly. Amphora behaved with such integrity and professionalism, not to mention the food was awesome, that I would recommend them to anyone looking for a caterer - no matter the event type.

all ways. She's so knowledgeable and experienced that she could anticipate any complications and knew exactly how to put the right touches on everything. We had planned to do an outdoor reception, but the weather didn't cooperate. She helped to make the indoor space beautiful and offered to set up a bonus cocktail area in the atrium that was a great addition and use of the space. She and her staff were also great when it came to set up and take down- they even helped us to unload our cars and packed up all of our leftovers for us. And the most important part- the food was delicious!! Couldn't have asked for a better experience :) Highly recommend Amphora- they take care of you from start to finish and they will make sure your event is a success!

we met Xochitl for our tasting. After telling her our venue, she hand-drew from memory a possible layout of all the food, chairs, tables, and bars. Immediately we could tell the level of attention and detail she would put into making sure everything was exactly as we wanted for the wedding. She was always prompt, professional, accommodating, and extremely friendly. Working with her was always delightful and made planning much less stressful. She attended the entire reception and looked after everything herself, which was reassuring. The day of everything was perfect, and ran exactly how we expected and hoped for. Now to the food – it was delicious. Over a dozen guests told us during the wedding and over the following days we had the best wedding food they’d ever eaten. Amphora’s tasting experience was great and sold us on choosing them. We tried a wide-range of the dishes and hors d'oeuvres we were considering. We chose the buffet option for dinner and couldn’t be more pleased with the quality and service. Everything was cooked to perfection. They accommodated our request to change the standard set of options, serving an additional main entrée of the butternut squash ravioli. Not only were we impressed with the tastiness of the hors d'oeuvres, but there were plenty served in constant circulation. Xochitl and the rest of the Staff at Amphora, thank you. Our special day was perfect in large part their catering. You will be in great hands with Amphora.

re out exactly how the evening should flow, the best way to flip the room from ceremony to reception, where the buffet should go, etc., even going as far as to send us pictures of other weddings she worked at our venue in the meantime so we could see different options in the space itself. On the food side of things, I can’t count the number of complements we got. Everyone loved the creativity and selection Amphora offered, and the cake balls disappeared in the blink of an eye! The staff working the day-of were equally amazing. They helped set up the space before the ceremony, made us plates so we didn’t forget to eat, guided guests through the buffet line, as a few examples of the many ways their hard work made our wedding perfect. Thank you!

ng!

tal) and honestly had a hard time with several vendors giving us the time of day. Not the case with Amphora! We had such a fun time at our tasting, picking out our menu with Candace. Our wedding was this past Friday and everything was amazing!! We ran super behind schedule and I was worried about how they would keep our food fresh and tasting good, but they clearly know what they are doing! Their staff at our wedding were great, and everything was just perfect!

catering manager a few weeks prior to my wedding but Amphora promised a seamless transition and delivered, Ali was great to work with and really looked for ways to improve my experience and she accomplished that! While there was a slight hiccup with the wine not immediately being served with dinner, Amphora quickly recovered and got the wine served by the time the entrees came out. From the tasting to the planning meeting to the actual wedding, Amphora was a pleasure to work with and afforded myself and my guests a wonderful experience.

bted their capabilities. They executed our contract exactly as agreed upon. I received no complaints about their service from my wedding guests. Originally I was going to hire a smaller catering company but realized that I was better off paying more for a full service caterer. I do not regret this decision. Munira quickly adapted to an issue that occurred at the venue (that was of no fault of theirs) and handled the pressure very well. I have much respect for vendors in the wedding business who maintain their professionalism from the moment of first contact through to the end of the wedding. Working with Amphora was a breeze and I wish I chose them originally.

again!

anted to get a lot of details squared away early, and there were many emails that we never got a response to. I know we were only one of many events to the company, but when you're paying someone over $10,000 for food, I'd expect a little customer service on top of the food itself. Overall, it was fine, but they did cause us some stress leading up to the day.

our tasting session, and working with you regarding your numbers all the way up to presenting the food so beautifully and with great taste on your wedding day!~ even ordered box lunches for my bridal team, while doing hair and makeup - gourmet to a tee! We also used their Bakery for the wedding cake! Class act company - they know their job and do it very well! Highly recommend!

t was our coordinator, Patricia from Amphora, she is incredible!! She made our entire catering process so simple and she was on top of every detail. She provided guidance and advice to help us make our catering decisions, but always highlighted that our wedding was for us and she was willing to make anything happen. She was incredibly responsive and very engaged in our planning process. Thank you Patricia!

from the first tasting. They had wonderful suggestions and their primary goal was always to give Lou and I the wedding we wanted. They worked their tails off the day of the wedding in non-ideal conditions, but their staff were highly efficient, professional and also unobtrusive. The food was wonderful! We had a selection of passed and plated appetizers during the cocktail hour. We are still hearing rave reviews from our guests! Amphora also set up a really cute Sangria station in addition to the bar. They also handled making all of the place cards, and all I had to do was provide the names and table assignments. We had a selection of three plated dinners at the reception: beef, chicken, and pasta. All of them were excellent and we couldn't have been happier. Not only was the food wonderful, but they also provided a number of unique touches. For example, they set up citrus water and tea at the outdoor wedding site. This helped keep everyone cool and refreshed while waiting for the ceremony to start. Amphora catering is the primary reason my wedding day was so wonderful and stress-free. My husband and I HIGHLY recommend Angela and her staff to anyone who is looking for a caterer.

d the room. Amphora Catering was just THE best I could have found.
