There was a lot of chaos on the day of my wedding, but the one thing I didn't have to worry about was the catering. A la Carte is very professional, double checks on details, and responds promptly and helpfully to any queries I had. Valerie is super awesome and the crew she used for the wedding were friendly and efficient. They did a great job and I had tons of compliments on the cakes!

The food was delicious and the presentation was great. Also, they make the most delicious home made sauces and dips. The guests raved about the miniature cupcakes.
The bite-size chicken parmesan was complimented by the heavenly, thick and sweet- marinara sauce. Her vegetarian dishes were great too.

A la Carte Catering was absolutely wonderful. They catered a Tea for us at Edward Jones for a Fashion and Finance seminar. Everyone loved the food and the teas, as well as the set-up all provided by A La Carte. We look forward to using them again for future seminars.

A La Carte catering staff was very professional and understanding. Rose was excellent and very friendly! We also used the service a second time for my husband's birthday after our wedding. Now we are using them a third time for our first son's B-day cake!

A La Carte Catering & Cakes Incorporated did an outstanding job in catering my daughter's wedding. The wedding cake was beautiful and delicious. Valerie, her partner and the entire staff were very professional and very helpful in making my daughter and new son in law wedding day beyond special and quite memorable. I would personally recommend their service to anyone who needs a function catered.

A La Carte by far is the best catering establishment I have had the pleasure of doing business with. Their professional and eager to please staff, along with their award winning food selections were a HIT at my wedding. I am sure I challenged them in many areas as I had an international themed reception along with a request to diversify my wedding cake layers. I am please to say they met EVERY CHALLENGE and exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend their services and would love to personally talk to anyone considering them.

Thank you for the opportunity to express my complete satisfaction with the expert service of A La Carte Catering and Cakes Inc.
