Uncommon Catering

mend for both without hesitation. They made the whole process so fun and easy and the communication was great!

runch wedding and had a hard time narrowing down from the delicious options! Travis also was able to add on some breakfast croissants and bread as a nice touch to the meal. I had had some of Chef Tara's food before at a wine dinner and had no doubt this was going to be some of the best wedding food our guests will have ever had. We got nothing but rave reviews from our guests that day and days after. Some highlights were the beef tenderloin crostini appetizer, french toast, beef tenderloin, and squash and zucchini au gratin. What followed every compliment on the food was a compliment on the staff. They were all so nice and my guests had special stories to tell me of how they wonderfully they were treated or if special accommodations were made for them. Uncommon adds the extra touch that makes your day special.

till took place. We were all but sure that we would have to cancel, and if it weren't for these two and their connections to the community, we surely would have. Needless to say, it came out even better than we initially planned! They showed extreme patience and flexibility with us as we were fumbling to put on a wedding last minute, and made sure we didn't forget a single detail. Their attention to detail was superlative. We even bumped into Tara while we were picking out flowers, and she was actually there picking some out just to match our decor. You can really feel how much love and passion is involved in their work. On the day of, the food and service was amazing, and our guests couldn't stop raving about it. We would without a doubt return to Uncommon Catering for any future catering needs, and I won't hesitate to recommend them to anyone I know who is having an event. Working with these two was an absolute pleasure, and supporting a local family-owned business was just the cherry on top!

himichurri steak. Surprisingly, the tuna wonton nacho bites were a total hit too. I highly recommend serving your meal family style. It is only a few dollars more per person and absolutely worth it. I had multiple people tell me afterwards that it was the best wedding dinner they have ever had and particularly that they enjoyed the camaraderie of eating family style. It brought our different groups of guests together. Lastly, Travis was very easy to work with and had tons of useful insights. I didn't have a wedding planner so I sent him rather long emails when trying to decide between different table setting options and he was quick to respond and always helpful with advice. It made a huge difference that we could do nearly all of our tableware and linen rentals through them approximately at cost and that we didn't need final numbers in until a week or two ahead of time. Thank you to Travis and his amazing team for an incredible dinner!

at the tasting, to the wedding day, working with Uncommon was a breeze. Their servers are friendly and highly professional. Their bartenders were a guest favorite and made our drinks perfectly! The initial tasting was very fun and we tried a huge spectrum of food! We were able to create a well rounded menu with Travis and Tara! All of our guests loved the food, and we couldn’t be happier with their service.

us to create a custom menu! We were so happy to offer our guests a delicious and unique meal! Uncommon Catering went above and beyond!

a "I acknowledge receipt of this and will get back to you soon". That seems like such a little trivial thing, but it is a lot more than I can say about other vendors/companies. As for the food, it was absolutely amazing, my husband and I as well as all our guests and other vendors can't say enough about how delicious everything was. I highly recommend giving their miso salmon a try during your tasting, it was probably the star of the buffet, everyone was talking about it. The Baowie Wowie bao buns were also a hit during cocktail hour, and whenever people mention how good it was, it excites me to be able to break the good news to them that it's actually available in their eatery! They also managed to make something as simple as white rice become so much more elevated than normal. You'd think that something like that shouldn't be noteworthy, but it was THAT good. I am also so so grateful for their thoroughness when it came to dealing with our guests who had allergies. We had quite a few of them; from nightshades, to fish, to onions, to gluten (celiac). My guests felt safe and they were so happy and touched by the thoughtful gesture of making sure they actually got to enjoy the dinner reception. No body felt like they missed out on anything because of their restrictions. Finally, I think their pricing is a STEAL for the value and quality that you get with them compared to some of the more major caterers in the Central Florida area. We had tastings with other "big" caterers around Orlando, and they might as well have been crappy cafeteria food when compared next to Uncommon's food, and the big caterers would charge 1.5 to 2 times more! Can't recommend Uncommon Catering enough, they are the best!

kind and attentive as well. Overall, Uncommon Catering was an amazing value, and such a pleasure to work with. 10/10!

ampagne before photos. They brought us out our own plate during the reception which allowed us time to visit our guest during dinner. I have had so many people come up to me after the wedding telling how delicious the food was. Travis and Tara were super helpful with everything leading up to the big day. They went above and beyond what was expected and you can tell they really cared to make sure our special day was the best it could be. I would 100% would recommend using them to anyone hosting an event.

didn’t have mushrooms on my beef (and made sure of it again during our wedding)! They paid attention to every detail! Everyone we talked to absolutely raved about the food!

asting allowed us to try literally dozens of dishes, letting us try, first-hand, so many possible dishes for our wedding. It enabled us to consider things we might never have had. The food tasted even better at the wedding than it did at the tasting; what you see is what you get! They were amenable to suggestions for the menu as well as offering their own creative ideas. They assembled leftovers wonderfully, giving us a ton of food to take home and enjoy afterwards. Heck, I wish we had lied and said we had more guests coming, just to go home with more of their delicious food! All of our guests have agreed that the food was amazing.They were truly flawless.

it was all so amazing we had a hard time narrowing down our favorites! Travis was incredibly helpful from the very beginning, answering all of our questions and customizing our menu to our specific needs. He even attended our final walk-through a few days before the wedding, which gave us great peace of mind. The Uncommon team was extremely professional and truly catered to my husband and I and all of our guests the day of our wedding. The food was delicious and our guests raved about it for days! Their setup and displays are curated to fit with the rest of your wedding decor, which I really appreciated! It was one less thing I had to think about! We are so grateful for all of their efforts in making our wedding day special. Tara and Travis are incredibly talented and invested in making the entire experience memorable for their couples!

r tasting, a wonderful experience

my. They select the food you're going to taste based off of what everyone's preference is (which you get to choose off their extensive menu weeks prior). This is extremely helpful because you get to try what you actually want and then some (so you may discover you like other things as well). The food was extra tasty (the rumors are true - their brisket is quite delicious), the presentation was beautiful and they were professional while being personable which I think is important. By the end of the night, we knew it was love at first sight. Throughout the whole process, they were there to answer any questions (and I had many!) and tweak whatever we wanted so it was custom to us. They also had suggestions when we needed help. Speaking of tweaking, they really want to create a cohesive experience. They asked about colors, flowers, and even font type. I didn't know anyone cared about our font type! Their own decor is also quite beautiful as well so it makes for a nice table setup if your party requires one. I cannot say enough about them going above and beyond. They made sure the bridal party was well fed during picture time (but just in case, they have doggy bags for the bride and groom ready to go when you are!), they pick up the liquor a week before so you don't have to worry about it the day before/of and then return it to you the day after which is super convenient, the extras such as the coffee and s'mores bar are nice little touches that make your party stand out over the rest and they are just kind people. I will say, Mother Nature was not kind to us on our wedding day but they made it work (mind you, our entire wedding was outside). They took the edge off. They had our backs. I'm sure there are a million other things I am missing but just know you are in good hands. If you want your event to be different (in a positive way), it's good to get a little uncommon. ;)

y compliments for our guests on our wedding night! They take the time to match their décor/floral with your décor and floral. We didn’t get the chance to eat any appetizers at our wedding but thanks to Travis and his team, we had a to-go box full of appetizers, entrees, sides, and dessert waiting for us in our getaway car to take back to the hotel. It was such a sweet surprise to wake up to an email with pictures that Travis took throughout the night to give us a first look at our wedding from their view. 110% recommend Uncommon catering!!!
