Book them!!!

We used Tasteful Occasions for our caterer and coordination for our wedding at Bluestone. Everything from start to finish with them was top notch. They laid out all the information that they needed from us up front so we weren’t bombarded at the end to meet the deadlines. They were great with communication about everything. Day of- everything was what we dreamed it would be. We got so many compliments on the food and desserts. HUGE shoutout to our coordinator Crystal- she was a huge help from start to finish throughout the planning process and the day of. She made sure everything was running smoothly and everything was perfect. We highly recommend using them for your caterer and coordinating needs. Thank you guys for everything!
