This place is INCREDIBLE. I found them when I was searching for an affordable caterer for my wedding. I found the website for Step By Step Catering through a google search of caterers in the general Atlanta area, and was immediately impressed... by the sample menus on their website with prices that were MUCH lower than any other caterer I had looked at. We wanted a finger-foods-buffet reception but with enough food at it to make people leave full, we just didn't want a sit-down-formal-dinner, but we still wanted a lot of good food. We were finding out that most caterers make that type of reception really expensive. So, when I started reading the menus on the Step By Step Catering website, I could hardly believe that they would serve so much delicious-sounding-food for such an inexpensive price as was listed on their sample menus. So I decided to go for a tasting. I emailed them and arranged for a tasting and went with my fiance. We could not have been more impressed - my fiance was shocked. He is a food-snob-chef-connoisseur himself, and before the tasting he didn't even really want to try this place because it seemed doubtful to him that there could be really GOOD food at such affordable prices. Well, after the tasting, all doubt was gone!! The food was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!!!!! The chef is from Jamaica, and she REALLY knows how to season and flavor the food perfectly!!!! All the food was literally fresh home-made and just so incredibly good!!! Not only did it taste delicious, but it LOOKED GORGEOUS too. Again, the chef does a VERY professional job on presenting everything in a mouth-watering way that just looks AMAZING. So, we were immediately sold and decided to use them for our wedding.
We were also very happy because they didn't charge us extra for travel - our wedding was in Smyrna, GA, about a 45 minute drive from Decatur,GA where the caterer is based.
The day of our wedding the first glance I got of the reception hall was AFTER the wedding when the reception was started... I walked in and was COMPLETELY WOWED!!! The chef had told me she would decorate the buffet table herself with my color scheme, and I had been a little apprehensive but the way she had described it sounded pretty so I had decided to let her do her thing. I'm so glad I did. She made that buffet look STUNNING. And the FOOD..... OH. MY. GOODNESS. It was GORGEOUS. And the whole place smelled SO INCREDIBLY GOOD. And there was SO MUCH FOOD!!! The caterer hadn't "skimped" on the food at all!! We had around 100 people at our wedding, which is how many we had paid the caterer for. But the amount of food the caterer served would have probably easily fed 125-150 people even!! Like, super generous amounts of food!
The food the day of the wedding was every bit just as amazingly scrumptious and fresh and delicious as the day of the tasting. The servers were all dressed professionally and did a WONDERFUL job. We just could not get over how amazing it all was. It was nicer, more delicious, more food, fancier, and more professional than MANY weddings I've been to where I know the bride paid 4-5 times as much for her caterer as I did for mine.
I would recommend this caterer to ANYONE for their wedding -- if you're on a tight budget, this is pretty much the most affordable in the Atlanta area. Even if you aren't on a tight budget, you'll love this caterer. This caterer is truly FIRST CLASS.
