My husband and I originally chose another venue for our reception wedding. We meet with someone from frescos at a wedding event and they told us to just come by and see their space, that we didn’t even know they had! We fell in love instantly and knew it was right. The entire process was SO stress free. Shannon and her team were SO accommodating with everything we wanted. Any type of food, or dish you could imagine they can make. It was affordable as well which is hard to come by in today’s world. I wish more people knew about this venue because it was just incredible. Thank you!
Shannon, Chef Tina, and every one T Frescos did an amazing job with the entire wedding process. Frescos has always been a special place for my husband and I, and so it was very special to have them cater for us too. Their team went above and beyond for us. Communication was great, their planning process was professional and thoughtful, and I always felt in the loop. The way their team asked questions to come up with a personalized menu was awesome, I love having it come to life and be delicious. Every single guest spoke on how good the food was. They even did our farewell brunch the next day!! Please consider Fresco’s as your wedding caterer, they deserve all the business in the world. I could scream praises for this team from the rooftops! Thanks again Fresco’s team!!!
Tina and her team could have not done a better job on our wedding! The food was fantastic!! But the best part of working with Frescos was Tina herself! She is warm and kind and someone you know you can trust with your big day! She will totally customize a menu around YOU and what your dream is. We will be using Tina and her team in the future for all of our events. Look no further, Frescos is your dream caterer.
We hired Fresco's for our rehearsal dinner for my son's wedding on 11/3/18. From my very first meeting with them, through emails and phone calls I was blown away by how they went above and beyond to take care of us. The service was stellar and the food was off the charts amazing!!!! We had 50 people in their Speakeasy room and all of our guests had the best time and couldn't stop raving about the food! Brittany took such good care of us and catered to our every need and want! I cannot wait to to and sit down and enjoy a meal in the restaurant. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great venue, with great staff and off the charts great food!!!
Frescos was so accommodating! We had only book the room for the reception but our outdoor ceremony was rained out. The staff worked with our florist and coordinator to organize the room for the ceremony and then reorganize the room back for the reception. The mother of the bride prepared the wedding cake and Frescos store the cake in their fridge till the reception. Frescos allowed us to create a tapas dinner menu for our reception. We challenged Tina and her cooking staff to 8 different tapas. Some of the dishes they had not attempted before. (Gator tail and chicken lollipops) Presentation was on point and not a single guest was unimpressed. If you want a personalize touch to your reception or party I highly suggest throwing your curve ball at Frescos so you can watch them hit it out of the park.
We had a wonderful rehearsal dinner at Frescos and the banquet room was set up nicely. The room was large and allowed plenty of room for everyone to mingle. The food is so uniquely delicious and far from a chain style which is what we wanted for our event. Thank you Tina, Brittany, and Tim.
Chef Tina and her team gave me the vegan wedding of my dreams!!! It was important for us to impress our guests with our menu choices, as most of them did not have much experience with vegan food, and the mission was accomplished! Everyone loved the food! They raved about it! I knew that Chef Tina and her team could show my guest that there is more to vegan food than just salad hahaha!!! Our wedding was in the Frescos speak easy and it was wonderful! The bartenders, Brittany and Winnie, kept the drinks flowing all night with a smile! Our wedding was perfect and I will definitely use Frescos in the future for events!
Frescos is fantastic did my wedding from food venue staff everything was amazing made my special night one I’ll never forget thank you Tina and your staff
The entire experience with Frescos was above and beyond! Tina and Brittany listened to our vision and made so many wonderful recommendations that made our big day even more beautiful. They were professional from the beginning, the food and drinks were RAVED about from our friends and family, and the way they displayed the food was completely in line with our theme. I was completely confident in them, and will use them for ALL my catering needs in the future. Thank you so much for all you did for us!
Tim & Tina are an amazing couple and Fresco's is an extraordinary restaurant. Our reception took place in their banquet room (which is perfect for smaller weddings/events). The food was phenomenal. Not to sound conceited, but I think our wedding food was probably the best wedding food I've ever had and I come from a large family and am among the last few to have gotten married. So... I've had my fair share of good, bad, and awful wedding food. We went with garlic herb chicken, roast beef au ju, mashed potatoes, and mixed veggies. We decided to do cupcakes instead of a full cake and had 4 flavors; vanilla, chocolate mousse, dulce de leche, and santa's white christmas (coffee flavored cake with white chocolate icing and caramel and coconut on top). A little something for everyone. We've received numerous compliments and all our guests were very pleased by not only the food, but also the impeccable service. We have been loyal patrons of Fresco's and always feel welcomed by everyone who works there. We will definitely continue to go there often and keep them in mind for future events. I definitely recommend them!
Was a little chaotic when the food came out. Instead of the servers delivering food in the order it was placed they ran out with filets asking who had this and that. I am a server, so i know that their is a more organized way to do this. Also, Being the bride, I had to ask for my food. Shouldnt the bride be served first? The sad part is, the owners daughter was working our event. You'd think she'd have a clue seeing she is kinda representing her momma. Christian, Was amazing, he mad sure my husband and i had a drink in our hands at all times. He also made sure that my inlaws were happy.
Besides the seemingly unexperienced service,
The food was awesome. My filet was cooked perfect. The sides were good as well. I was especially happy with my grooms cake. The baker did a great job. I would recommend this place. I am sure this was just a off night for the restaurant.
I absolutely thought our wedding and groomsman cake was beautiful and delicious!!! I have to say that it was a headache to get into contact with them to go over my order and what flavors I wanted. It actually took several calls and left several messages. It was kind of stressful there for a little bit...being that I finally ordered my cake like a week before the wedding. But I do have to say that both cakes were beautiful and were a hit of the wedding. I almost didn't want to slice into the cake! :)
Best price in town - we looked everywhere. The taste and design were perfect! Just as we requested. Tina was wonderful - even let me add a groom's cake just days before the event!
