Tasteful Occasion

el changes in the company. As every other small business, you can tell Covid hit everyone pretty hard. But being that they have done two other weddings that I was a part of, I was confident that they will do great for us and they did!!! Not only did they cook the food perfectly but the Chef even stopped by to say hello and congratulate the family. Chef Michael and Candace were so humble and kind to all of us. Our food was a filet with gorgonzola cheese on top, lemon butter salmon, roasted brussel sprouts, mash potatoes. It was perfect. The salmon especially was so tender. This is a hard working company and we appreciate them.

munication, or service. We have been trying to contact Mike or anyone else in this company for almost 2 months to come to a resolution that is acceptable to both parties, with no response. I am convince that at least some of their good reviews are fake. We will be forced to take this to small claims court unless someone would like to reach out finally after reading this post. This is absolutely not the course of action we want to take, but we have tried everything else and have gotten nowhere.

I was told the caterers would show up to the event 2 hours early… did that happen.. NO. They showed up 10 minutes before our cocktail hour. They only brought enough eating utensils for cocktail hour and didn’t have enough for the actual dinner. Also, during cocktail hour we had bruschetta which of course goes on bread. Here’s the problem, there was no where near enough bread so guests couldn’t eat the bruschetta that we paid for. What a waste of money! Our dinner was supposed to be plated and it wasn’t. It was served buffet style and took FOREVER! They even spilled food on two different guests!! They didn’t have enough chicken for the guests so they started to cut the chicken into small pieces so they would have enough. They didn’t bus tables. They forgot our cake plates. We have been trying to get ahold of chef Michael and he won’t return any calls. DO NOT GO WITH TASTEFUL OCCASIONS. I have learned that we are not the only couple that this has happened to. People are taking this company to court. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

and consideration of my needs, Tasteful Occassions went above and beyond what I expected. I couldve easily stressed about the small concerns like not finding the cases of beer (later realized that it was in my sons car). However, one of the onsite staff assured me that he would take care of it and we would have what was needed. He found it. I never knew that there was a problem and my day was perfect! They will always be my go to for future events.

a couple of weeks and the food was amazing and affordable. Literally, everyone at our wedding complimented us on how good the food was! More importantly to us, they operate this business with honesty and integrity. They are kind, trustworthy, and professional. I would recommend them to cater any occasion big or small. They are all just good, honest people, that can prepare some very delicious food.

found Mike and his team at Tasteful Occasion. They bent over backwards to help us out at every turn. Responses were very quick and accommodating. Every detail question we asked was thoroughly discussed and answered! They were available whenever we needed to get in touch with them, from the menu planning, changes (like adding tables, chairs, and linens), and helping to coordinate picking up the rented items the next day. The service was outstanding and the the food was even better! So many compliments from our guests and multiple requests to try to get the recipe of our unbelievably tasty pork loin. We also had a wedding cake made and it was absolutely above and beyond our expectations. If all of that wasn’t enough, the pricing was extremely fair! During the Pandemic, when we have had so many vendors show their true colors, it was very refreshing to do business with high character people. Tasteful Occasion completely knocked it out of the park for us! Highly recommended.

you!

an absolute joy to have catering the wedding! The food was delicious, we had the crusted Parmesan chicken and blacked cod with mashed potatoes and veggies with several passed hors d’oeuvres (stuffed mushrooms, smoked apple franks, etc) We highly recommend booking Tasteful Occasion for your wedding!

oli which was awsome!!!! The service was so professional and perfect!! Best catering ever!!!

when we were in a pinch for linens and helped us out. The prices were reasonable and they were on time. Everyone that worked the wedding was pleasant and professional. They made a wonderful day, even more wonderful. We'd recommend them without hesitation and would use them again for a future event.

cess so simple and stress free . The staff was so helpful and the service they provided was amazing. The food was EXCELLENT! Chef Mike and the kitchen staff made sure that the food was perfect. Everybody enjoyed it and went up for seconds. Tasteful occasion will always be a part of our memories and will always be in our hearts because you made our wedding day sperfect. Thank you so much for everything.

e ability to rent tables, chairs, and linens, and were willing to work with our schedules. All of our wedding guests raved about the food - the filet was delicious, as were the green beans, salads, and potatoes. We were so impressed and pleased with the outcome. We even had a last minute change of plans and they were able to accommodate the change with no problem. I also learned last-minute of a dietary restriction of one of my guests and Chef Mike was able to make a special dish just for her. You will NOT be disappointed by choosing this caterer. We will be using them again for future events. I feel so lucky to have had such a great experience. Thank you, Tasteful Occasion, for playing such a big role in our special day.

from The Chef and the partners with all of the staffs signature congratulating us. This company really shares a personal touch and care for their clients. Very good food and such a pleasant to work with. Thank you.

would like to thank Robyn for all of her efforts in creating my vision into reality. Thank you guys for being there for my husband and I.

except for the food. It’s very disappointing to me that our wedding will be remembered that way for myself and for your business. There are lists of things that went wrong that we discussed wouldn’t happen I can name a few but my family could name them all as I was too busy to be concerned at that time. We discussed there being flame/burners under the food to keep warm because we were outside and there was not so the food was terribly cold even though my guests ate as soon as they returned from the ceremony their food was cold and mine was extremely cold I had one bite of the pasta and didn’t eat it. For some reason there was a lack of spaghetti sauce and absolutely no bread sticks. The salad dressing was never restocked when it went empty. We had discussed that all food be removed by your staff or stored correctly. This was not the case. My family was stuck with food left out on the catering tables they had to throw into trash bags then into a vehicle to take to waste correctly. Even more disappointing the food your staff did store in the fridges had chicken in containers with nothing covering them to keep it preserved and healthy to eat. We had also discussed staff helping with the clean up of guests food. That did not happen. Mostly what upsets me even more than the inedible food is staff bluntly asking my family where their tip is when frankly I feel they didn’t fulfill their duties to require one but received one anyways. When we met for our tasting a couple weeks before the wedding I was very excited the food was amazing and I couldn’t wait for our guests to enjoy the food. I wasn’t concerned because you did a great job and covered every base with us. So now I am unsure if this was something you now need to review to fix and didn’t want to tell us this was going to be a hard wedding to cater or if this is a problem all the time for your business and I should let others know to never acquire tasteful occasions in the future. If it would’ve been one thing wrong we would say shit happens but this was one thing after another after spending thousands of dollars and to be very unsatisfied. I’m sorry to have to reach out to you for this sort of review but it needs to be brought to your attention if it hasn’t been already.

! We've raved about him continually since the day we hired him! Tons of food options and so willing to help with anything we needed

Chef created our menu and I cant believe how professional and wonderful everything was. The food was amazing. We had brisket, which was the best tasting Brisket I've ever had in Ohio, And we also had lemon chicken. The Chefs are so talented that we event had saucy Thai noodles in our menu. Thank you for everything

caterers. Billy was so helpful and Robyn and Heather were such fun bartenders. Chef Mike created such an art on the food. It looked and tasted amazing. They also provided all of the linens. They were so helpful during the process. The best part was we actually saved a lot of money with them.

fingerling potatoes, Caesar salad, Shrimp and Grits, and lamb lollipops as the food. We also got our wedding cake from them, including the China and linen. Robyn and Chef Mike did everything for us. Anybody having an event or wedding should definately use them.

he best brisket, and the pulled pork was so tender and juicy. The spices and rub they use is so different from anyone in Columbus. The chef knows what he's doing. And the caterers were so fast and personable. Thank you for making our day perfect.

lian package . The scallops as an appetizer set the tone. The lasagna was homemade, you can tell. The staff was so fun and kind. Thank you Ribyn and Chef Mike for everything.
