t and raved about it. Multiple people told me they went up for seconds & thirds. Their employees truly cared and helped us with anything and everything throughout the night. I truthfully cannot recommend them enough.
Sharkos Catering was great to work with for our wedding! They were professional, easy to communicate with, and made the whole process simple and stress-free. Highly recommend!
Sharko's catered our wedding and was absolutely amazing! From the tasting to the big day working with Sharko's was seamless. We got so many complements on the food!

sional, attentive, and made everything feel effortless. We did not need to lift a finger. Also, Vincent & I felt so special that the owner of Sharko’s came and introduced himself. We couldn’t have asked for better—thank you for helping make our day so special.

ption staff. Gerard, Jacalyn, and everyone else on staff were the most pleasant to work with. They were careful in how they set everything up, paying very close attention to detail. Since we booked them, they were receptive to ALL of our questions and were very patient with our wants and needs. They served our Italian buffet happily & generously to our guests. Our family and friends have been talking about how amazing the food was since the wedding about a month ago! My husband and I highly recommend this catering business and I have been recommending them to everyone I know who is celebrating a wedding soon.
Sharko’s catering went above and beyond for my daughter’s wedding day. Jacalyn met with me and my daughter at the reception venue a few months before the wedding day and went over ...
every detail. She was professional, kind and had suggestions of things we did not think of. She always answered my calls, emails and texts and was ready and willing to change anything I needed to change. On the day of the wedding, it was unexpectedly hot and it was very challenging for the servers to accommodate an outside reception, but the servers and staff were able to make adjustments and serve the Bride and Groom and all of our guests with professionalism and grace. The food was delicious and I still get comments to this day about how good the dinner was!
They cut and served the cake with ease as well. Thank you again to Sharko’s Catering!

ng us on our choice of catering for our wedding - and some of them own their own restaurants! During our reception and dinner time, the on-site staff were SO polite and friendly and did a wonderful job of even checking in on my Groom and I throughout the entire evening.
Sharko’s Catering was so exceptional to work with. They were easy to communicate with, flexible, we’re so inclusive as far as dietary restrictions. The food was absolutely amazing....

d. The pride they have in their family business is remarkable. Jacalyn, along with the rest of the family and crew, was incredibly professional and accommodating, creating a wonderful atmosphere that had everyone going back for seconds.
One of our best memories from the day was hearing our family and friends rave about the food. Since we traveled from Phoenix for our wedding up north, we had to prepare for the cold weather. They kept the dishes warm and made changes to our dinner plates just to make sure our food stayed warm. Sharko’s catering even helped us with hot water, coffee, and tea, which our guests greatly appreciated!
From our initial tasting, we knew Sharko’s was the one for us because every dish was delicious. The appetizers were heavenly, and the dinner was truly soul-warming. Witnessing how excited our guests were made our night even more special. We even let Jacalyn know that we plan to return for to-go meals for our anniversary! 🥰
Thank you, Sharko’s, for all your help and amazing food. We are forever grateful and will always cherish our wedding day.
Amazing catering experience!
Our first encounter with Sharko's was at an open house for the vendor we chose for our wedding, North Valley Garden. The food was great, better than the other vendors on site, but...
just to be sure we got it right, we scheduled a tasting. Their office was full of Chicago memorabilia; we knew it had to be good, and it was. Our guests raved, and when I told the Chicago family that our chefs were from Chicago, they all said of course! They were also so easy to work with and made sure that everything was perfect, from the place settings to the dessert. I believe good food, great friends, and good music make an event; thank you, Sharkos family, for making our event spectacular.
Food was delicious! There was a lot of hidden fees which I wish I knew sooner. But overall great food and even brought us some hors d’oeuvres while we were taking pictures during o...

Our guests loved the food provided! We definitely recommend Sharkos!

rvice truly elevated the entire experience, and I wanted to take a moment to share my positive feedback.
From the initial planning stages to the execution of the event, Sharko's demonstrated professionalism, attention to detail, and a genuine commitment to excellence. The menu selection was diverse and catered to various tastes, and the presentation of the dishes was both impressive and appetizing.
Not only were the culinary offerings a delight, but the service provided by your staff was equally commendable. They were attentive, courteous, and seamlessly ensured that every guest felt well taken care of. The positive feedback from attendees regarding the quality of the food and service reflects the high standards upheld by Sharko's.
The seamless coordination and flexibility demonstrated by your team greatly contributed to the success of our event. Your ability to accommodate our specific needs and preferences did not go unnoticed and was greatly appreciated by everyone involved.
Thank you for your dedication to excellence and for helping create a wonderful experience for our parish community.
Our wedding was on Jan 13th 2024 and we had Sharko's as our caterer. We chose the mexican food buffet and it was absolutely delicious. The staff was great.
I cannot recommend Sharko’s enough. They were so easy to work with, so responsive, and fairly priced. I had a wedding of ~150 and they catered the day beautifully. We got so many c...
ompliments on the food from our guests. From a real life bride to any other brides looking for affordable but quality catering, Sharkos is the way to go.
Very impressed! We use Sharkos for our work events here at DeLex Realty. They always do a great job. I decided to hire them for our wedding (which we planned in 3 weeks). Sharkos w...
as phenomenal. The quality of the food was superb. The service and professionalism - outstanding. Silverware, plates and decorations were great too. My guests kept eating and complimenting the food. I called a few other caterers for quotes and Sharkos was the most reasonable and with the best menu too. I high recommend!
On 11/11/23 Sharko's fed 90+ guests at our house for our 40th wedding anniversary celebration. The beef tenderloin and salmon were exquisite. I was so tickled about how much my g...
uests raved about the food. Of course, amazing food is all-important, but for me the most remarkable aspect of their performance was the staff. So friendly, so cheerful and completely self-sufficient. It was like having your favorite family members come into your home and say, "just relax and have fun, we've got this." I recommend Sharko's to everyone.
They catered for our group. Came and set everything up and then served early on our request. Loved that they were able to donate the extra food to a charity so nothing was wasted!!...
Will definitely be booking them for any future events!
Excellent service, extremely welcoming to our guests, professional and efficient, and the food was delicious!
One of the biggest aspects of your wedding is the food and let me tell you- you can’t go wrong with Sharkos! The food was amazing and our guest enjoyed it. Now the raving doesn’t s...
top with the food, but also the amazing Sharko’s team. Gerard- has the best communication and was always on top of it with any questions I had, any request or changes I made. Weddings have lots of changes as well and Sharkos rolled with the flow. The day of the event was seamless, they had a beautiful set up, their staff was dressed nicely and all went off without a hitch. I would like to thank everyone at the Sharkos team for their service on our special day! You can’t go wrong with having Sharkos cater your wedding!
The whole sharko team was a dream to work with! From the tasting to the set up of the event, everything worked out flawlessly. he was super understanding when we had to reduce the ...
number of our party and even was able to make us a last minute vegan meal. it was seriously the best sirloin I have ever had and the chicken Florentine was delicious and stayed moist, which is always my complaint about wedding chicken. overall, if we ever have another event in Phoenix, I would book them again without a doubt
Sharko's did an amazing job with the food and cake for our wedding, as well as with our wedding rentals. We received compliments all night long about how good the food was. They a...
rrived on time, were very professional, had friendly staff, and were one of the easiest vendors to work with. We would recommend Sharko's catering and would use them again :)
The only thing we wish was different, was that we could have taken our leftover food. The food was really good, but it was never addressed at the wedding if we had remaining food or if we wanted to take it home. By the time we left the venue we were hungry again. You don't realize how little you eat at your own wedding. I still give them 5 stars, everything else was awesome. Thank you so much!
Sharko's was absolutely amazing! My husband and I are both in the military and had to plan our wedding from a distance, and Sharko's did a fantastic job working with us to ensure e...
verything went smoothly, even when we had to make lots of changes due to Covid. They coordinated our linens, food, cake, and bar tenders, and all of it was done beautifully and professionally. We got so many comments from our guests on how delicious all of the food was! Everything turned out exactly how we imagined, and we couldn't be more grateful to Sharko's for their phenomenal work.
Sharko's food is amazing. They enchiladas and fajitas. Everyone was impressed with they food received. We are very happy we went with them. They also made our wedding cake. Very ...

We had a GREAT experience with Sharko’s Catering! We hired this company to cater our daughter’s wedding this month. We couldn't have asked for a more professional, nicer, or more...
helpful team to work with. Gerard worked with us to develop a menu with terrific food that fit within our budget, and many of our guests told us that they thought the food and service at our wedding was the best they'd had at any wedding. Thanks again!
Geradro was great from the very beginning. He brought us in for a tasting which was normally two meals, we asked to pay to taste a third and he had it prepared for us for free. ...
It was difficult to chose because they were all so good. The day of the reception the setup was beautiful, it was buffet style however they brought our (bride and groom) meal to our table. The food was delicious and the portions were very filling. They continued to serve champagne to the tables throughout the night. The staff was a huge help in clean-up as well.
We were pleasantly surprised with the availability of the staff to accommodate us with our busy schedules. The food was amazing and was hit with all of our guests. Everywhere else ...
we looked was over priced for small portions. Sharko's gave us a fantastic price and large portions. We would highly recommend them for any event and especially a wedding. We paid roughly $1500 for 100 guests.
This team did such an amazing job for our wedding this weekend! They were on time, the food was delicious, and they were very professional! We had so many compliments on the caesar...
salad, steamed veggies, rolls, lasagna and chicken parmesan. OUTSTANDING job you guys! Thank you for helping make our day so special! They also provided all dinnerware setup, clean up, cake cutting, and champagne toast pouring. We highly recommend Sharko's!

Sharko's food was amazing, and the staff was wonderful. They were fast and efficient, taking great care of my guests.
Sharko's was awesome! The food was amazing and the staff was very friendly. They were very easy to work with!
I used Sharko's catering for my March wedding this year. They far exceeded all of my expectations. We had them cater Mexican food for the wedding and it was phenomenal; we got a lo...
t of compliments that it was the best wedding food people had ever tasted. We did buffet style and their dishes were very nice and classy. The servers did a great job making sure that everyone's water and wine glasses stayed full.
We also rented the tables, chairs, and table cloths from them. They had a lot of options for different linens. They brought the tables the day before the wedding at the time I requested and set them all up with the linens so everything was ready to go the next day. We had our ceremony and reception in the same hall and they went above and beyond and did the whole rearranging in between the ceremony and reception, while serving appetizers in a different area. They were happy to do this and did an excellent job following the rough outline I had drawn.
I would definitely recommend Sharko's for any event, as their food, customer service, and price were all great.
Sharko's was amazing from the food tasting and initial meeting to the end of our dinner service at our reception! The food was amazing! We got tons of compliments about how great e...
verything was, including the service! Top notch all the way...the best part ... it is a family owned business and very affordable. They will cater to your budget and your taste. I would use them again in a heartbeat and have already referred them to friends who plan to get married this year!
Sharko's catering was very accommodating for my husband and I, allowing us to have 3 tastings, and providing the best wedding food we've ever tasted. They also contracted out our w...
edding cake order, which was incredible both in appearance, taste, and moisture. The company provided all of our tablecloths, chair covers, and table settings, and set-up/broke-down in a quick and clean manner.
I would reccommend Sharko's to anyone who needs a catering company for any event, but especially for weddings!
