TASTEBUDS FINE CATERING & EVENT PRODUCTION

October 20th, 2019 was my daughter's big day and we are so happy we chose Tastebuds Catering to be part of this beautiful day. From the moment we walked in their office for a quote to the tasting and finally to the wedding date everything was perfect! Both Michael and Matt went over and beyond with every detail. Not only did they cater the food but they also organized the table and chairs rentals, cake and even a beautiful dinner menu placed on each plate. Thanks again Matt for all you did!

My husband and myself hired Tastebuds to cater our wedding reception. The experience was wonderful there was no pressure . Matt was our coordinator and he was intuitive knew how to listen and had some great suggestions. The food was wonderful the presentation was excellent the service was impeccable. Matt was able to provide us with tablecloths ,chairs ,Linens ,silverware ,glassware ,plants and decorations. I wanted ice cream and coffee to go with my Cake and Matt made that happen. I was not the stressed-out Bride, I was the one who enjoyed my day and so did my husband and our guests. Tastebuds is a family-run business and they have a lot of pride in their product. I would recommend them to anyone.

Great food, well cooked and fantastic portions!

The food, presentation, and service was excellent. Tastebuds fine catering is the perfect company to hire for your special day or any special occasion's!

Food was delicious and beautifully presented. Service was great and no detail was missed.

Amazing food and beautiful presentation. Would highly recommend and will absolutely use again.

Mike and the tastebuds crew did my daughters wedding and it was beautiful. Food tasted great and they were so professional. Catered to every need with fair prices. Absolutely awesome!

The food was great - timely, fresh and well prepared. The I went with the steak and was happy with my choice. More than enough for a meal. I would definitely recommend!!!

Incredible food and service!

Everything was amazing . The went out of there way throughout to make sure we were comfortable. A-class.

Tastebuds was amazing to work will. Accommodating to every request, able to give knowledgeable feedback, executes our event with professionalism, and completely exceeded our expectations with taste and presentation. Working with them was a pleasure and I would recommend them to everyone for any type of event or catering needs.

Tastebuds truly went above and beyond my expectations for my future daughter-in-laws bridal shower. In my search for a caterer I met with Tastebuds and two other companies. Tastebuds from the very beginning without hesitation continually tweaked the menu with me, was creative and thoughtful. They constantly were making sure I was happy with what they were doing, and open to my suggestions. They really blew me away the day of the event. Not only was the food delicious, the presentation from the mimosa display to the beautiful main course was amazing! To top it off they made a beautiful display table from the candy I provided to complement the desserts they supplied. Their staff was FABULOUS! They were professional and were prompt. The set up of the room was incredible, and they were attentive to every one who attended the shower. When the party was over they made sure the room was left spotless. I will definitely use this company again for my catering needs!

Many little girls dream of the dresses they might wear one day, or the flowers they might surround themselves with... I always and ever dreamt that my wedding would serve breakfast food and holy potatoes did Tastebuds make my wildest dreams come true. From the Crème brûlée French Toast to the amazing staff who went to infinity and beyond, I'm not sure I'm ready to go back to eating any other way. Not only did Tastebuds work a long night full of the best Tequila Sunrises I've ever had, they came back and served an entirely new breakfast the morning after. The menus on both occasions were definitely born of this family's love for food, and you can taste it. I cannot recommend Tastebuds enough.

Tastebuds Catering catered my grandson's engagement party for about 70 guests. They did an outstanding job setting up a brunch with beautiful hors d'oeuvres to start out the day. We had Spinakopita and Guacamole with chips, the baked Brie with fruit inside was really good. After the hors d'oeuvres we had a beautiful buffet with three different salads, Waffles with strawberries and whipped cream, smoked fish platters with bagels and the eggs benedict was made with spinach, mushrooms and onions and was delicious. We all enjoyed Mimosas and Bellinis and the crowd enjoyed the great service and food. Can't wait till the wedding!

Great catering for my sister's engagement party! The food was amazing!

Tastebuds is remarkable! Their vast and versatile cuisine left nothing to be desired. I highly recommend this incredibly professional company.

I couldn't be more pleased with the food, service and ease in planning my daughter's engagement party. Several of our guests made a point of telling us that we should use the same caterers for the wedding. We took their advice and we're into the planning stage now and I have to say that I am so much less stressed than I expected to be - I know it will be amazing!

The food at the engagement party was delicious and beautifully displayed! There were a wide variety of dishes to choose from--even for various dietary restrictions! Service was friendly and efficient! I can not speak more highly of the experience!

Very Professional staff, they arrived on time and the décor set-up for our stations were perfectly thought out. I have planned wedding for friends without using a catering company, but taste buds made the process more seamless as they know exactly what the customer needs and wants are. They worked with our budget and we could not have been more satisfied. #1 in South Florida for sure.

We had them for our vow renewal and they did everything for us to have a spacial day and event. Super easy to work with and super willing to help! Highly recommended! Thank you again for everything!

Michael and his gang were amazing. We had a cocktail engagement party for my son and future daughter in law at our home. The food was delicious, and the service amazing. They couldn't do enough for us. They made my home look beautiful...their presentations were fantastic. I can't recommend Michael and his staff enough. I would not hesitate to use them again, or recommend them for any function. Thank you Michael and your team for amazing, delicious, unique food and wonderful service!

OH. MY. GOD. I have been to more weddings and bar/bat mitzvahs than I care to admit and the one thing you can almost always count on is for the food to be mediocre... when planning our wedding I was DETERMINED to find a caterer who would leave people WOW’d. I interviewed SO many and in the end the vote was unanimous...tastebuds catering is on a whole different plying field than any of the other local caterers in south Florida. I still thought it may be too good to be true but nope, the food was EVEN BETTER the day of our wedding! Our guests are still talking about the food almost a year later!!! Now...food aside...the service was truly impeccable. It didn’t matter what time it was or what the issue was, Mike and Efrat jumped to get it done. I was beyond impressed. I will NEVER hire another caterer for any event and you shouldn’t either. Trust me...tastebuds or bust! Thank you for giving us the wedding of our dreams!

WOW WOW WOW! To say that our experience with Tastebuds was exceptional is still not enough! My wife and I probably weren't the easiest of clients but Mike never skipped a beat or made us feel like we were ever imposing with the endless questions. Almost a year later and we still hear from our family and friends about how delicious the food was, how impeccable the service was and just how perfect the entire wedding came together! We are so thankful that we chose Tastebuds as the caterer/event planners/make everything happen vendors for our wedding! We will be using them again for our next big celebration and HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend their services to EVERYONE!

I always look forward to events catered by Tastebuds, as I know the food, presentation, and service are second to none. I’ve been to several weddings, birthday parties, and showers catered by Tastebuds, yet every event is a new experience as they serve a wide variety of appetizers, entrees, desserts... I find they always go way beyond the call of duty to ensure everyone is happy! It’s wonderful to find a business that really DOES cater to their clients and actually KNOWS what CUSTOMER SERVICE is!!

Awesome company

My husband and I cannot say enough kind words regarding the service that we received with Tastebuds. We spent months trying to find the right caterer for our wedding and we cant be more happy to have selected Tastebuds. They were professional, courteous and they made sure that every detail was executed to our tastes. During the wedding his team created surprises for us at The Cruz building in Miami. Our guests raved about the appetizers. We would highly recommend them.

I want to thank Tastebud’s team for the amazing quality and performance they displayed in my wedding last month. I have to say the service they provided was nothing less than impeccable, their amazing food and service made that night one of many to be remembered. My loved ones and I appreciated how tastebuds covered every detail and helped me get through my special day.

The staff was excellent, food was done correctly and it was an overall perfect experience. Michael was the matre d and he paid strict attention to the wedding party. He is a great asset to the company. To be honest, everything went very smoothly, no mistakes. I would recommend the company

I've never been to a Tastebuds event (and I've been to a bunch) that wasn't wonderfully elegant (and fun)! The food is delicious. The presentation is professional...and the service is top notch. Highly recommend their services!

Tastebuds catered our family weekend event in April magnificently. Rachel and crew were there throughout the planning, guiding us with an impeccable menu. Her and her staff's attention to detail exceeded our expectations. The execution of our affair was nothing short of spectacular. Thank you Rachel, Michael and Tastebuds for everything!

I don't even know what to start with... These guys are AMAZING!!!! 1. PROFESSIONAL !!!! Mike was on the phone with me, giving me ideas for over 48 hours all combined. He would always find time to discuss any detail i had in my mind. He would always try to make this idea even better by adding his thoughts. Very, very professional people 2. DELICIOUS!!!! Their food- OMG!!!! presentation is beautiful, but most importantly how it tastes!!! Everything was so delicious. Tasting was amazing and he is not one of those who charges you for tasting... If you do an event with him the tasting is complimentary! and this is how it should be! Seriously, their chef is the best!! her tiramisu is simply impossible to forget and honestly everything she made for our wedding. 3. PASSIONATE!!!!! Before i found Mike and Co, I had spoken to mostly all Miami vendors and they were just not the same. They operated their business without any personal touch. Here, you can tell how people LOVE what they do!!! They are truly passionate about their work and they treat it as art. You start feeling like you are part of this big family with one purpose- LOVE for food and LOVE for wonderful events! 4. COORDINATION!!! We had our wedding at Vizcaya, which is very beautiful, but very difficult place to work with. It is unpredictable. like it got really windy on the night of our wedding. Guests loved it, but it was so hard for the catering team to coordinate. They did ti so seamlessly that we did not even notice any difficulties that had faced. Food and drinks were non stop and people couldn't be happier. Efrat- Mikes wife who is also a weeding planner and a coordinator. She is so amazing, without her the wedding wouldn't have happened. she was so attentive to details and timeline that everything went perfect! 5. AFFORDABLE!!!! The money you pay for their service and food is SOOOOO WORHT IT!!! Trust me, the quotes i was getting from other vendors were shocking me, they were crazy!!! and when i got a quote from Tastebuds i got nervous, like why are they are so reasonable!!! something is off here hahaha but they are people who LOVE what they do and they are so worth it!!! I can go on and on here, but there is no more space to type. In conclusion, i had a fantabulous wedding and all thanks to Tastebuds! without them it wouldn't have been possible. People are still talking about arepas and ceviche, oh and pene ala vodka and many, many more! Brides, luck is with you if you trust these guys to make your big day AMAZING! Love, Alina

Mike and the whole Tastebuds family did an amazing job on our wedding! The attention to detail and absolute honesty with every bit of the process made for a great event! Everyone talked about how much they enjoyed the food and drinks and the fabulous waitstaff. The variety of choices and flexibility with the food surpassed any other caterer that we looked into. We have even already used them for another family event! We absolutely recommend and adore Tastebuds!

Tastebuds Fine Catering catered our wedding in Fort Lauderdale this past may and the Food was absolutely the best I have ever had at any wedding by far! We had such a great experience with all of the staff at Tastebuds throughout our wedding process from the first call until our last bite. The extra service we received really made us feel special. Thank you for making our wedding memories so sweet!

Tastebuds catering exceeding all my expectations. The staff were amazing, and the food was incredible. I would certainly use them again.

For my wedding, Tastebuds Fine Catering has made me very happy. On top of being the bride and worrying about everything, they really lifted a load off of my shoulders. The attention to every detail, the kindness, & delicious food was top knotch and will be recommending to everyone I know!!!

Incredible food and top-notch service! Tastebuds completely blew me away with the gorgeous presentation, variety, and flavor of each dish at my brother-in-law's wedding. Being in the event industry myself, I have learned that when you find a winner you hold on tight, so I will absolutely be using them for my own wedding in the future. I could not recommend them highly enough.

Tastebuds Catering where the caters for our daughters wedding. Not only was the food, presentation & service outstanding; they worked with us to make everything seemly and easy. Since, we have used them for other family events they have always performed beyond our expectations. We are looking forward to Thanksgiving when we will have them deliver our dinner with all the fixings. Thank's to the Tastebuds Catering.

Every little girl dreams of their BIG day. Yep. Their wedding day. My special day came not too long ago. I had met my Prince Charming and it was time to tie the knot. Getting married was exciting. Wedding planning...not so much! Dress shopping, floral arrangements, music, invitations. There was so much to plan. It was all overwhelming for me, the bride-to-be. However, when it came to the catering service, I hit the Jackpot. A friend had told me she used Tastebuds Fine Catering and Event Productions for her son's Bar Mitzvah. I decided to give Tastebuds a call to see if they could provide their services for my special day. I met with Michael soon after my initial call to see if Tastebuds could meet my requests. Michael went above and beyond for my fiance and I. We tasted delicious samples of rich foods, sipped fine wines, and indulged in yummy wedding cakes. I was over the moon happy that this part of wedding planning went so smoothly. I immediately hired Tastebuds to cater to my friends and family on my big day. To say the least, Tastebuds exceeded my expectations of what fine catering is all about. The presentation was picture perfect. The service was on point. The quality and taste was out of this world. Tastebuds made wedding planning much easier and I highly recommend their service for any special occasion.

I have used Tastebuds for three business networking events I have hosted over the last three years. Their service and food has remained consistent and is fantastic! My staff and myself have come to look forward to hosting these events as we get to partake in enjoying the great spread they put out. As the host of the event I am typically running around greeting guest and ensuring the event runs smoothly, however Mike and the rest of the Tastebuds staff always ensure I have a drink in hand and makes a plate for me. Our guest have raved about the quality of food, outstanding service, and polite wait staff. I am getting married in December and have chosen Tastebuds to cater the event. I am looking forward to enjoying the food, but most of all I am stress free knowing that they will take care of all the details and ensure the night is perfect for my friends, family, fiancé and I. I strongly suggest using Tastebuds for your next wedding or event! You won't be disappointed.

Afterwhat I thought was a hopeless attempt to find a catering company for my dream wedding, I was referred to Tastebuds catering company with only high expectations. Not only did Mike and his Family ran business go above and beyond anything I could have dreamt of .... they made my one of a kind wedding a dream come true!!!! My wedding was breathtaking because of TASTEBUDS CATERING :) You as the Bamboo Gallery was my venue and they not have a kitchen ... they didn't have anything!!! Mike, his chef, and team created everything that I tasted at my tasting with a kitchen they built for the night! The appetizers were amazing, Italian style, and as fresh as you could imagine! The filet and lamb chops were cooked too order for 75 people and all served hot and perfectly! The salads were cold ! And the bread was amazing ! My husband and I made sure to eat first because we wanted to make sure we ate the best meals ever ! Once we had our rating we knew that no one else could compete! They set up the entire venue for me with one long table and chairs ! The also provided the tables and chairs for my ceremony! The servers and staff were professional and patient as patient could be. We were a tough crowd! My guest were shocked by the food and the table settings, arrangements, and everything as a whole, they said no other wedding could ever compete! The food is made with love and you can see that in everything that they put together ! I also put the faith in them to design my cake! It was perfect ! My entire day would not have been my dream come true if Tastebuds Catering was not in charge of my event ! Mike went above and beyond on anything he could have possibly done for me ! I look forward to crossing paths again with them in the future ! Highly recommended without any hesistations!!! https://vimeo.com/174446564

Tastebuds has made event planning a joy. From my wedding 20yrs ago. To the wedding shower for my niece, Tastebuds has made me comfortable having 40-100 people in my home, and thrilled every time. I know the food will be perfection and the service impeccable. Best part when the party is over, my guests are thrilled and I don't have a minute of clean up. Planning the menu was a breeze they helped me chose all the best pairings. I recommend Tastebuds without reservation and with the highest regard. Call Tastebuds sit back and enjoy!

food was delicious and eye appealing. the guests raved about the whole thing. Tastebuds provided the food and entertainment and all needed materials, including flowers to make the perfect wedding.

We chose Tastebuds Catering for our daughter's wedding on 12/28/14 after investigating and eliminating several other catering services and venues that provided the food and beverages. We had very special requests as we wanted a vegan wedding with a Cuban menu. Rachel and her staff were very accommodating. They carefully adhered to the vegan request, making sure that every item--from the margarine to the salad dressing to the wine--was strictly vegan. We created a menu with Cuban items that are normally not vegetarian, and Tastebuds made those dishes not only vegan but delicious. They also cut and served our vegan cake at no additional fee. Tastebuds made helpful suggestions to ensure that the event went smoothly. We did not have a wedding planner, but Tastebuds and our DJ made a planner totally unnecessary. I highly recommend Tastebuds!!

Tastebuds provided appetizers, entree, sides,homemade rolls, wedding cake and full wine/beer bar for the wedding which was held at Flamingo Gardens. Everything looked amazing and tasted even better. The staff was professional and attended to our every need. The guests all raved about how delicious the food was which made our special day even more special. Rachel even assisted us in obtaining a florist and was extremely helpful and personable. I need to add that our wedding was planned out of state and we felt very comfortable with our catering in Rachels hands.

Tastebuds Catering catered my wedding and it was AMAZING. We had a Havana Nights themed wedding and they pulled out all the stops for us. All of my guests, and even the DJ, were impressed with the quality and authenticity of the food. They really do take their time with me and my husband understand what our needs and wants were. I gave them a specific vision and they also went ahead and built out a special carving station to accommodate my vision and make my wedding extra special. Everything they served was fresh and delicious. Their staff was also very professional and courteous to all of our guests. Choosing the right caterer was one of the most important decisions we had with regards to our wedding, and Tastebuds Catering really did a fantastic job. Thanks guys, you rock!

I have used Tastebuds on all of my parties. They are by far the best catering company in the area. The menu is fantastic and they will do whatever possible to work within your budget. The food and service is of the highest quality. Mike is truly an amazing person and I hold him dear to my heart. He is the best and that is why I always tell everybody that Tastebuds is the best! We work very well together. I always know everything is going to be perfect when Mike is involved. All of the other staff members of Tastebuds were also very warm and professional as well. I enjoyed working with every one of them. There was never a time when we needed anything. Everybody was so attentive and welcoming to all of our guests. I couldn’t have asked for better service. The day/night was truly magical. Even more to me because I planned everything from start to finish and executed it with my favorite people in the world! It was hard work but very rewarding! Thank you again for all that your company has done for me. I will never forget it and will always point business in your direction. Thank you again for having such a big part of one of the most important days of our lives.

Where do I begin? Way back in 2010/2011, my wife and I were planning our wedding. We decided on a non-traditional location (Miami Beach Botanical Garden) which required a caterer outside of the venue. The first person that came to mind was Mike Mack, as we had gone to school together. I contacted him to find out what type of package he could put together, and without hesitation he emailed me a bunch of options and told me that he could customize cocktail hour and the dinner to our personal taste. We made an appointment to go in and plan out the menu for the wedding. When we showed up for the consultation, Mike surprised us with some of the hand passed appetizers that we eventually chose for the wedding, such as: Beef Wellington, Baked Brie, Spanakopita, and coconut shrimp!! It was awesome because we did not expect going in that day that we would get to try some of the appetizers, which really exceeded our expectations. We decided on a menu for the wedding (or so we thought), and submitted our deposit to guarantee Tastebuds would be catering out wedding. About 1 month before the wedding, we realized that our budget was being squeezed from some other necessities for the wedding, and realized that we might need to potentially lower the costs of the catering, as at the time was our highest expense (which other than the actual wedding itself, is probably the most important). I reached out to Mike and let him know what we were thinking (and that we were freaking out) and were considering changing the menu to something completely different. Without hesitation, Mike and his family devised a menu that worked better for us, and when it came time for the wedding, did not disappoint. Fast forward to the wedding day itself. Tastebuds really showed why they are the go-to caterer for so many organizations and other big events! When I arrived at the venue, It was awesome to see that Mike and his team had already had everything set up and were ready to go! As soon as the wedding ended, Mike and his team were immediately passing appetizers and getting guests drinks. Not only were the guests personally catered to, but wife and I really appreciated that Mike personally made sure that we were taken care of from the moment we got to the venue, to the minute we were exiting! I can't stress enough how excellent the service was! Tastebuds took the guesswork out of making sure we had enough tables, and glassware, as they handled the Cocktail hour and Dinner service, provided place settings, dinner tables and table cloths, cocktail tables, all glassware, bar service, servers, setup and breakdown of all of the above to perfection. My wife and I are grateful to Mike, Rachel and all of their team for really going above and beyond for our wedding! If you are looking for a caterer for your wedding or event, I urge you to strongly consider Tastebuds Catering! I guarantee that you will not find a more detail oriented, and professional catering company !! -Matt & Jenny

To sum it up, phenomenal! Taste Buds was beyond great food and drinks. They tailored to the little things, which set them above those other cookie-cutter catering companies. The quality of food was so scrumptious, I am wanting to go visit them for lunch just thinking about it. The bar was right on point. Every time we returned to our couples table, there was a fresh cold drink waiting for us. They even went the extra mile to include my husband's favorite whiskey in our open bar. They definitely know how to roll out that royalty feeling. They ran out of business cards by the end of the reception, that should say enough. Taste Buds was highly recommended and I experienced it first-hand. -Delia and Steve Negron's wedding

Tastebuds Catering truly took my wedding to the next level. From start to finish they were stellar. I had a backyard wedding with 100 guests. We chose a cocktail style reception. There were food tables and carving stations as well as food being served by staff. Since the wedding was in my home, they had to utilize my personal, residential kitchen for prep and it went flawlessly! The customer service was top notch. Staff was professional and everyone had great personalities! The son of the owners (can't think of his name) took care of us and made sure the bride and groom got to eat, he helped with the cake cutting ceremony; anything we asked he stepped up and assisted. From the ice sculpture to the brie... to the carving stations and desserts...everything was perfect. In fact, one of my wedding guests mentioned to me how delicious the food at my wedding was--he remembered almost 3 years later! The food quality and presentation took the event to a whole new level. They went above and beyond... there are not enough positive things to say about Tastebuds. They had a genuine, family touch that is hard to find from a catering company. The price was right--and the professionalism was on point. You can tell they pride themselves in what they do. I will 100% use them again in the future for another event. I would absolutely refer this company to friends and family.

Tastebuds Catering exceeded all my expectations. Not only was the food amazing and unique!!! the service that came with it was absolutely perfect. A beautifully run family business where you can tell they take such pride in what they do. Michael thank you for helping make our wedding day so special. All our family and friends thought the food was a hit and especially loved unique appetizers and the beautiful dessert table.

Tastebuds Catering did a phenomenal job preparing the food for my wedding! All of my guests loved the food and the presentation was top notch. The brie quesadillas and burger bites with mini sangrias and beer were a big hit. The stations provided a variety of food so my guests could pick and choose what they like and the dessert bar was outstanding! I would highly recommend others to use Tastebuds Catering for their next big event.
