We used Startups catering company for breakfast at our hotel the morning after the wedding. The food was yummy and the staff helped everything run smoothly.
Sam and the team at Startups Catering did an amazing job for our wedding! From the initial phone consultation, to menu planning, providing China & linens and the amazing staff, every detail was catered to us and our needs! When we asked about proving gluten free, vegetarian and vegan meals, Sam delivered above and beyond even noting my specific food allergies and creating a menu that really met our diverse needs. Our family and friends enjoyed all of the food! And the drinks made by the bartender were wonderful! So thankful that we found Startups! We would recommend them for any event!
My wife and I were on a tight budget for our wedding and Sam was not only understanding but talked with us for hours trying to save us as much as possible while also making sure we got every item and drink option we wanted on the menu.
The entire staff of Startups was so kind, especially our coordinator Christy—she was a dream!
Everyone made an effort to make sure that we were well taken care of.
We had great conversations with the staff and their positive energy created an atmosphere we much appreciated on our wedding day.
The food was terrific and the bartending staff was also kind, polite, and jovial.
We wholeheartedly recommend Startups and thank them and their staff for making our wedding special.
I couldn’t let the year go by without writing this review. Let me start off by saying hiring Startup Caterings for my wedding was THE BEST decision I made out of my entire wedding. I am West African and had a big West African wedding with 300+ people and Sam and his staff fed everyone with so such professionalism and grace. The food was SUPERB and fresh! Till this day people still compliment the food and mention how flavorful it was. Sam worked with me, my husband and our parents to create the most perfect menu. He was kind, professional, patient, and all around amazing (even through my bridezella moments lol). I’m forever grateful for how well he took care of us the day of my wedding and I pray that you all read this and make the right decision and book them. Trust me, you will not regret it! Thank you Sam and team for everything!!!
I would give Start up 6+ stars if I could.
Professional, stress free, attentive to details, punctual, responsive, inconspicuous, kind, flexible and…..wonderfully delicious food for my daughter’s wedding of 130 people.
They did such an amazing job with our event and I highly recommend them!!
We used Startup Catering for my daughter's wedding. We had a few special requests - and there were no questions asked. Sam did a great job of listening and capturing what we wanted and made sure every aspect was unique to our preferences, taste and budget. Sam and Katie provided us with the highest customer service, organization and communication from day 1. They were so personal and coordinated everything which made our lives easy during this busy time.They provided a creative food presentation that was delicious and great service the actual day of the wedding. We received SO many compliments from our guests and could not have been happier! Startup catering assisted in making the event an unforgettable experience.
