Dishes by Design completely exceeded our expectations. We looked at a few different caterers before reaching out to Dishes by Design, and we are SO GLAD that we did. Toni is so kind, responsive, professional and organized. The tasting blew us a...
way. Their menu offers so many incredible options, we had a hard time narrowing it down. From our cocktail hour hors d’oeuvres, to our buffet-style dinner, to our bar service, everything was INCREDIBLE. We got complements ALL NIGHT about how amazing our food was. Plus, their menu is perfect if you have a handful of gluten-free guests. They marked everything, and our guests were so grateful. PLEASE hire them for your event. We can’t recommend them enough.

Our food was absolutely delicious and we got so many compliments on it the night of and afterwards! I didn't hear one bad thing about any of the food anyone had! There was one thing I was disappointed about but minor. We got the seasonal vegeta...
bles with balsamic drizzled on top and there was no balsamic the day of the wedding. They also did our cake cutting. There was a spot we wanted the cut cake to be and that was agreed upon but the day of, it was put somewhere completely different. They also said they would package the rest of our leftover cake. We had a few other boxes of sheet cake boxed up that were completely ruined and had to be thrown out due to them stacking the boxes on top of each other. All the frosting on top came off when you opened the lid and the cake was smushed. We also had had to use their bar service per our contract with our vendor. There was a younger bartender (Dez I believe) who was great but the other two were absolutely rude and horrible. They told my HUSBAND and FATHER they had to get in line to get drinks. My dad then proceeded to tell her who they were and her tone changed quickly. Another staff member came up and had words with her about this. There was another time I was at the bar and watched THREE people get served before I did.. I was the bride, you couldn't miss who I was and I shouldn't of had to wait in line at my own wedding. We heard more about how horrible the bartenders were than anything else that night which is disappointing. Toni's food is absolutely amazing and I would love to eat it again but, there are some things I wished I knew before booking her. Not to change and go with someone else, but just as a heads up. If you are questioning something she will steer you in the right direction but there's really no compromising. It also sometimes felt like we were bothering her if we had a question. We live out of state so everything was done through email/phone and we had a lot of questions and clarifications. **One thing to keep in mind as well. If you want to pay ahead a little at a time, that's fine, but make sure you don't over pay as she will NOT refund that money. That was something not told to us before and luckily my parents overpaid portion was able to go to ours so it wasn't a waste.

ING!! Great service and fun personalities! Toni is easy to work with, quick to respond, and incredibly organized and professional! My only disappointment was that our champagne toast was not poured in time for the toasts, but this was made right by Toni with a refund so I appreciate her quickly taking accountability for the lapse of service there. Overall I would definitely recommend! Best wedding food I've ever had!

Dishes by Design catered my daughter's wedding at The Historic Onesto this weekend. The food was absolutely fabulous! But Toni Altimore does more than prepare excellent food. She is a smart business woman who knows how to execute a large event ...
flawlessly. She and her staff are OUTSTANDING! They were so proactive in accommodating our wishes and needs throughout the evening, whether it was directly related to their core responsibilities or not. I was incredibly impressed with all aspects of my experience with Dishes by Design. My only regret is not printing their company name on the bottom of our menu cards. The dozens of times I was approached with " The food was outstanding; who is your caterer?" became downright exhausting! This is a wonderful caterer.

nd phone. As the wedding day approached Toni touched base with me to verify all the details. The bar staff (Teresa and Anthony) were great the day of the wedding as well. They kept the bar line moving, were helpful, and did a great job of keeping the drinks flowing! The vendor also handled the set up and organized the bar, both of which were done promptly and well in advance of when the bar was opened. I highly recommend their bar services to anyone looking for such a vendor, while still staying within a wedding budget!

s that we found her caterer. Toni is just great. I don't know how else to say it. She really does care about your wedding and your guests. Her food is exceptional. You can tell with one taste and by looking at her food that it's actually homemade not frozen or boxed. We tried some awful wedding food that was all processed or mass produces. The day of the wedding, Toni was there all day and made sure my sister's wedding day went off without a hitch. The food was beautifully displayed and tasted even better. My sister is still getting compliments and when I got engaged 3 months ago, I didn't even ask for a tasting before I booked the day with Toni. I highly recommend her and her wonderful staff, you won't be sorry!

This caterer saved me wedding. Almost literally. A month out from the big day, the caterer I had been required to use through my reception hall's contract went out of business. So, I spent a frantic week calling every caterer I could find. ...
My linen lady suggested that I speak with Toni Altimore (owner of Dishes by Design), and am I ever thankful that I took her suggestion. She was available due to a recent date change from a previous event. My fiance and I were sold on hiring her from our very first meeting. She listened to our menu ideas and concerns, gave feedback on the spot, and then composed an elegant and amazing menu in only couple of days time. She worked with us on price, and due to our awkward situation, even supplied all of the flatware, china, and glassware at no charge. On the day of the wedding, her food displays (we opted for appetizer styled stations) were gorgeous; nothing run-of-the-mill here. And the taste! Oh my goodness! It was by far the best wedding food I've ever had. If you have the opportunity, you must try her mac 'n' cheese. Her staff was efficient and amiable. Dishes were cleared in timely fashion, water glasses were kept full, and the food stations always looked fresh. If I ever need a caterer again, I will look no further than Toni Altimore's Dishes by Design
