Continental Caterers provided brunch after our morning wedding minimony, and they absolutely knocked it out of the park! Our venue required us to choose from their short curated li...
st of caterers, and I reached out to three of them. Continental Caterers was the only one to respond promptly and consistently, ask what types of foods we were envisioning, and then send a proposal that actually matched what we stated we wanted. Just from a communication standpoint alone, I knew that they were the ones we wanted to hire. Brittney was our contact, and from beginning to end, she was an absolute dream to work with. She was always so pleasant and professional, and she helped us narrow our menu down to a reasonable amount of food (we wanted to serve way too much lol).
The morning of our wedding, we were incredibly pleased at how delicious everything was! We served breakfast burritos, several passed appetizers, pastries, donuts, and fruit, and had a hot chocolate bar as well as tea and coffee. We got so many unsolicited compliments on the food! Continental Caterers also provided the linens and signage for our food and beverages, which made our lives so much easier.
I highly recommend them for your wedding or next event!
The food was excellent. They paid special attention to the Bride (me!) and made sure I ate. The staff were really nice. The only complaint is I didn't get the gelato flavors that I...
ordered.
Planning a wedding from 3000 miles away is not easy . . . you have to both love and trust those you choose to work with as was the case with Wendy Kleckner-- she knows food and as...
for kosher caterers there might as well be no one else because they don't compare!! The food was fabulous and the presentation and service was elegant and classy.
Continental was on the preferred list for my venue and we were required to choose from the list. They were one of the most affordable (though still pricier than caterers we would h...
ave been able to use at other venues). We paid about $12,000 out the door for food ($35ish per person), staff, and all rentals besides linens for our 150 guest wedding. However, we completely got what we paid for.
President Paul Alexander met with us personally on multiple occasions and even arranged a tasting for the day after Christmas (which he attended) since my husband and I live out of state and could not get to California for another tasting. He went out of his way to make everything perfect for us and easier on us. Our event planner was a family friend and told us after the wedding how much she wished she could work with more people like him. He even served me my wedding dinner personally! My plate looked like a piece of art.
Our guests raved about our appetizers (the brie tartlet is a must!) and even my incredibly picky father loved the beef tenderloin and garlic mashed potatoes. They gave us all the leftover food and we ate vegetable couscous for days afterward. So delicious!
The staff were courteous and professional. They set up everything and even volunteered to set up the escort card table, guest book table, and centerpieces. (Our planner also did all the flowers and decor, so she set those up herself.)
All in all I had a wonderful experience with Continental Caterers and highly recommend them.
