Locations By Kaycie and Critic's Choice Catering is full service company. They are very professional and great at what they do. We highly recommend them for all your catering needs. They are the best !!!
When hiring a caterer for a client, there are a few things I look for- delicious food, limitless menu options, beautiful presentation and a friendly & professional staff... Critics Choice has it all! They really work to develop a menu that is perfect for my clients tastes (and dietary restrictions!), and even throw in some creative options that we may not have thought of that are to die for. They're flexible, arrive on time, and the staff is so attentive and helpful. I'm looking forward to working with them again and often!
Every detail will exceeded your expectations. I can't imagine a better location. The food is amazing, the staff very non-intrusive with us all having been to so many different weddings, from informal to black tie, all sorts of vendors, this was definitely the most efficient, beautiful, and relaxing location & service.
