Design Perfect Catering did a fabulous job with our wedding. We had steak and salmon for our main course and they were both cooked perfectly with the salmon just melting in your mouth! For appetizers we had mozzarella and tomato skewers, prawn shooters and deviled eggs and they were really tasty as were the bite sized desserts! Our guests raved about the food and we would strongly recommend them for any catering event.
Tiffani also went over and above for us. Our venue let us know at the last minute that they would not do our clear up and Tiffani calmly stepped in and handled everything. Their team cleared up within 1/2 hour and we were able to get our full deposit back.
We will definitely be using DP Catering again for business and personal catering needs; they helped to make our wedding say special!

Design Perfect catered the wedding rehearsal brunch for my son's wedding. They did a fantastic job. Everyone raved about the crepes at the buffet. There was plenty of food, it was beautifully presented and delicious. They were very easy to work with and although the bride and I met with them once in person, we really wouldn't have had to do that. All of the planning and communication was done via email with the exception of that one meeting and everything turned out exactly as I wanted. They were extremely responsive and accommodating and I would hire them again the next time I have an event I want catered.

I hired Design Perfect for my daughters wedding and couldn't have been happier. They were professional, courteous, organized, and the food was fantastic. Bandi was so helpful with all my questions. We ordered the Mediterranean Buffet which everybody raved about. My daughters friends were still talking about the food a week after the wedding. I would highly recommend Design Perfect. They were the perfect choice!!!

Design Perfect Catering -Awesome
My husband and I used Design Perfect Catering for our wedding on 8/26/11. We give them 5 stars all the way! The food was fantastic; our guests couldn’t stop raving about it. The caterers were professional and the buffet and décor was beautiful. Our wedding reception was perfect thanks to the hard work from Design Perfect. If you are looking for a catering company for your special event, these guys are the best!

Bandi and the staff at DP Catering were AMAZING to work with. They made the planning process so easy and were super flexible with our last minute changes and tweaks. The night of our event was absolutely seamless and so many of our guests complimented not only on how great the food was, but how professional and friendly the staff were. We will definitely recommend DP catering to our friends and will be using them in the future for any catering needs we may have!

We loved Design Perfect! We had a small wedding and were on a super small budget, but they completely worked around it and the food was delicious!

Working with DP Catering was a really good surprise. The food at my wedding really surpassed mine and all of our guests expectations. I cannot remember how many of our guests told us they loved the food! The salmon with fruit salsa was delicious (and never dried out as I feared), - and really everything was fabulous. My family actually fought over the leftovers.

Additionally, the caterer and bartender that worked at our reception were extremely helpful, friendly, and super pleasant to work with.

Overall, this was a huge weight off my shoulders. DP Catering helped to make my reception a very successful event!

Design Perfect did a fantastic job catering our outdoor(tented) reception. They helped us personalize our food choices. We loved the cupcake display! Thanks to them everything went smoothly even though it rained.
