I cannot thank 3 C's enough for catering my husband and my special day. The consult and taste testing were so thorough and easy going. John truly is amazing at what he does, he made the tasting was so much fun and I knew right away I made the right decision when hiring 3Cs for the wedding day. On the big day, the team set up the buffet and charcuterie board so beautifully that the guests were highly impressed. The staff even made it a point to save the bridal party some apps for us to eat while taking pictures before they were gone. The food was fantastic, the staff was fantastic, and the setup was truly amazing. I highly recommend this team for your catering needs.
We had a wonderful experience with 3 C’s Catering for our wedding. John worked with me every step of the way and was able to accommodate guests with dietary restrictions. ALL of our guests raved about the food and went back for seconds!
We were very fortunate to stumble upon 3C’s catering at a vendor event. Our families had a few samples to taste and fell in love with the food. From that point on, between phone calls, emails and the tasting - it was an amazing experience. We worked with John and Evelyn throughout the process and they were kind, responsive, and did whatever they could to make our day special! We wanted a unique experience for our guests and they were able to help achieve that with a grazing table, food stations (with all different cuisines) and even passed out Cuban espresso shots during our cocktail hour. The food was delicious, the service was top notch and we would highly recommend working with 3 C’s catering!
Three C's catering impressed us from the first initial contact regarding price and arranging a tasting. Evelyn and John were my contacts throughout and they were always available and easy to work with. The food was great and there was plenty! Evelyn decorated the buffet tables so beautiful and even purchased gold utensils for the event! The crew noticed set up was behind and lent a helping hand to the coordinator to ensure the wedding went smoothly. This company excells at catering and making quality food, but they go beyond what is required and made sure they do whatever they can to make the night go smoothly. I will absolutely use them in the future for catering events. Really wonderful people!
I can't recommend 3 C's highly enough! Their entire staff is so friendly and welcoming, and they ran things so smoothly. When I first reached out for a quote, John was super responsive and helpful. He literally spent an hour on the phone with me going step by step in detail of how his staff would run the event so we knew exactly how food would be served and what to expect. We asked if they could lead cake cutting and pass out champagne for the toast, and he talked us through what that would look like on their end and how we needed to prepare so they could execute. When we went for our tasting, the staff visited with us like we were old friends, and it made it so much fun. Not only is their service great, their food is delicious, and their prices are really reasonable and affordable compared with other local competitors. We tasted multiple caterers, and 3 C's was by far the best food, best service, and best price. We had a buffet style dinner and passed hors d'oeuvres and the most beautiful charcuterie board at cocktail hour. They did a great job decorating their buffet tables to match our decor so everything looked nice and fit together. If anything, their food was probably TOO good - it was all our guests could talk about! This is a great company run by great people. I wish I could throw another event just so I could hire 3 C's again.
I cannot say enough good things about John and his team. From the MOMENT I had my first tasting I felt at ease. Not only is the food delicious, it’s fresh and clearly made with love. They did our wedding and John let us do a second tasting as my husband missed the first one and just as nice and professional as the first time. Always responsive to any inquiries I had. Evelyn also who designed the setup for the food and took care of me and my hubby all night she did not miss a beat! My guests are still talking about how good this food was 3 weeks later! They work within your budget and are super honest and upfront if they think something may not work and gives you options to make it work! I can’t stop raving about them. Thank you John and team for putting in your passion and making my wedding so memorable.
We truly enjoyed 3 C’s catering! We did food tasting back in March on st. Patty’s and enjoyed ourselves there after some beer tasting. Catering with them on our wedding day was great. We chose the chicken, beef, mashed potatoes, salad and corn. Everything turned out delish! They made sure my groom and I got our plates first to enjoy our meal (also specially made me delicious salmon bc I’m a pescatarian). My groom had special Mac n cheese just for him and was given the whole bowl of croutons when he wanted some more lol. He was thriving. Thanks y’all for your catering we enjoyed your service! :)
We are very happy to have hired Three C’s Catering for our wedding. There was great communication in the beginning and they offer a lot of options to choose from. On the big day, the food was a major hit and was complimented highly by our guests. We highly recommend Three C’s for your wedding.
We hired 3 C's for our wedding a few years ago, and they were amazing! We wanted a mostly-vegan menu with a few actual meat options available, and they were so helpful. They gave us several suggestions, and we decided: the entree was option of chicken breast and/or portobello tops in a delicious bourbon sauce, sides were roasted potatoes & vegetables in olive oil & herbs, rolls, and salad, and the apps were buffalo cauliflower bites, meatballs, veggie platters) and they hit a home run with it! All of the food was fresh and delicious, cooked to perfection, and we got a ton of complements from friends & family about the menu after the wedding.
3 C's Catering was beyond great to work with! Our wedding food was absolutely fantastic. We received SO many compliments from our guests on how good the food was. They are the BEST!
3C's was AWESOME! My husband and I had a brunch wedding, and the food was incredible. I had several people tell me how much they enjoyed the food - especially the bacon! For the price, the quality of the food was incredible. 3C's was very reasonably priced as compared to some of the other caterers I had gotten quotes from. John and Evelyn were so helpful leading up to the event, and they really helped our vision come to life. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a caterer for their event.
Excellent food, easy to work with, and fabulous service! We opted for the Mac-and-Cheese bar at our wedding and it was a huge hit. Highly recommend 3 C's!
I could go on and on about 3 C's and their amazing customer service, flexibility, pricing, and spectacular food. We didn't want a traditional meal served at our wedding, and John and the entire 3 C's Team were more than willing to work with us to make everything perfect. We had a taco bar and added on a brisket carving station - our guests loved everything! Not to mention the gouda sliders we had during happy hour, people are STILL raving about how delicious they were weeks later. We would definitely recommend 3 C's to cater your wedding! You will not be disappointed and definitely will not leave hungry
The food was tremendous! Their staff was so sweet and made sure my Husband and were happy and hydrated the entire night! Even in the planning process was so easy and fun selecting our menu.
Amazing experience overall. They came around with appetizers as we were taking pictures. Made sure the bride and grolm had plates to go and that everything we needed was taken care of.
AMAZING!!! Food was good but the staff was wonderful. Heather! You made communication easy and were the BEST bartender! Thank you for being so on top of your game girl!! The rest of your staff deserve my biggest hugs. So caring, so thoughtful. They let us hang in the kitchen and snack with them during cocktail hour. everyone was perfect
It was decent they were punctual, I felt they could have had better communication amongst themselves. We had to serve our own cake their own staff didn’t do it
Very good food with no complaints, everything was cooked appropriately and tasted great. They made sure there was plenty of food as well. The real MVP of 3 C's however was their bartender Heather. She kept the bar line moving with 150 guests all while catering to us during the event (greeting us at the end of the aisle with drinks and keeping us hydrated throughout the night). She is an absolute professional.
My husband and I had booked a caterer who had dropped us 2 months before our wedding due to scheduling to many weddings on the same day, I called around looking everywhere for catering, everyone was booked! I got in touch with 3Cs and they were so friendly and told me they could cater our wedding! The staff was so great I called/emailed them about a 4736 times before our wedding and they got back with me every time and made my day run so smooth. The other plus side of this company is they have such yummy BBQ!!
Our wedding was about a week ago and the food we had was delicious! Heather and the rest of 3C's catering were great to work with. We wanted to serve vegetarian dishes at our wedding and the catering staff was more than willing to make whatever we wanted that was maybe not on the original menu. Once we decided what we wanted, they checked for the pricing of what they would need to order and were able to give us an estimate in a timely fashion. At our reception, we had spinach and cheese ravioli and then potato gnocchi with basil, olive oil and such for our non-dairy eaters. We were very happy with their service and I know others will be as well.
Andy, Heather, Julie, Alex and everyone at 3 C's was amazing to work with for our wedding in May! From the tasting to the service on the day of, they were completely professional and accommodating! At the reception specifically, we had a guest who was unable to eat part of the meal, which we were unaware of, but 3 C's quickly brought her out a different plate with food that she could eat. The food is delicious and our family still talks about their Broccoli Cheddar Casserole! Delicious! I am so happy we chose them for the best day of our lives and would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone! Great service and very awesome, friendly people!!
Absolutely delicious! Will definitely use again and recommend without hesitation!
I am so happy we decided to use 3 C’s catering for our wedding on 2-25! The great customer service started at the private tasting with Andy! Other tastings I went on were not private and you did not get to choose the food you tried, with Andy I was able to completely customize our tasting menu so we could truly select what we wanted at our wedding. He even created a “bacon bar” idea we had even though it’s not on the menu, and he completely knocked it out of the park! Everyone loved the food the night of the wedding. We did more passed hors d'oeuvres during cocktail and dinner, and there were plenty of staff to get it all passed quickly, and it was all delicious! The mini fish tacos and meatballs are to DIE for! My only “negative” would be is that I wished we added on a third pasta action station attendant or that they had already slightly cooked the pasta and just reheated a little at the station, it did take close to 2 hours for everyone to get through the line and it was still slightly cold when served. However, everything else was great and I would definitely use them in the future and suggest them to every future couple getting married!
We had a great experience with 3C's. During the tasting we knew we found the right caterer for our wedding! Andy was wonderful in answering all of our questions and putting together the menu that would suit our wedding.
The staff during the reception was great from what I heard from guests. The only request I received from a few guests is that the food was so good they wish they could have had more at the reception!
3 C's Catering was wonderful to work with! The staff were very helpful before and at the event and the prices are very reasonable. The food was great! Especially the macaroni and cheese! We would recommend this catering company to anyone throwing a special event :)
We discovered 3Cs Catering as a recommendation from our reception venue. At our first meeting and tasting with 3Cs, we knew we wanted to book with them. Their staff is very friendly and the food is delicious. We received multiple compliments on the food on our wedding night (even from other vendors who ate!) and my husband & I were able to eat full meals with no issues - they made sure we were fed! The only couple minor things that came up were that we aren't sure that the kids got their specialized kids meals (from what we heard from their parents) and there were some small communication issues earlier on in the planning process - but the owner Andy made sure the night went perfectly, and it did! The service was wonderful. They are very professional and had a wonderful setup. They were even able to execute our idea of having a personalized milk & cookie bar as part of our dessert menu - it was a big hit! Thank you Andy & team for making our wedding night so memorable!
Andy and his team are top notch! They were so pleasant and helpful. Always available for questions, concerns, suggestions. Quick response time.
It was seriously like working with old friends! They allowed us to completely create our own menu. No cluster menu choices. We even used a family recipe for one of our options! They did it all. From the tasting to cutting and serving the cake, 3 C's made it smooth and enjoyable!
