    Superb, over the top delicious!!!

    As mother of the bride, I was at first a little hesitant to use CFY because a couple of old reviews mentioned some difficulties in communicating. My wedding planner assured me that although pricey, CFY’s food was the best and I am thrilled we went with them!
    We worked with Blade and he was incredibly professional, responsive and everything came out exactly how we wanted it!! Blade worked with us to revise menu proposals several times to reflect my desire for a very filling and formal brunch. They could have done it for less but I wanted a sit down plated brunch with three very filling courses instead of a Buffet. He always returned my calls or texts in a timely manner and absolutely executed every little detail I requested, right down to what fruits would go in what beverage dispensers!
    My hat is off to the chefs… Everything was incredibly delicious! Guests were served delicious appetizers during the “cocktail” hour and then seated for brunch. The first course was sweetened crêpes with macerated berries, Second course was Smoked cheddar cheese grits served with creole tomato glazed shrimp and the third course was Claybrook farms short ribs, potato hash, Hollandaise sauce and poached eggs! We can be, shall we say, somewhat hard to please and we were ecstatic about the food as were all the guests!!
    The “day of” manager was excellent as were all the wait staff… What more can I say? CFY gets a 10 out of 10!!! Outstanding!

    Great food, extremely professional

    These guys are truly pros! My husband and I knew we wanted to prioritize food and I'm so glad we picked CFY! They were so helpful and genuine throughout the whole process. I asked so many questions and one of my cousins had an extreme allergy but they handled it all with patience and a smile! I met with other high-end caterers in Memphis but they all seemed a bit phony to me. Corey at CFY was so sincere, it made our decision easy. The food was delicious, the service was exceptional (sit-down meal and bartenders) and our guests are still talking about it. It's worth every penny to know you're in great hands.

    My husband and I loved working with CFY. They were referred to us by our photographer as "the best tasting catering in town", and they didn't disappoint! They were very friendly, accommodating, and fun to work with, but most importantly the food was absolutely delicious. We got lots of compliments from our guests!

    CFY Catering handled everything in a friendly and professional manner. Our menu was revised only twice but was a definite reflection of our personalities and tastes. They worked very well with our other vendors and coordinated everything so that my new husband and I could simply enjoy ourselves. So many of our guest complimented the food and the presentation of the food, which was displayed in a very elegant way and was repleneshed when needed to ensure freshness. I will use them again for special occassions and definitely recommend their services.

    WOW!! CFY recently catered my wedding reception and "pre-ceremony cocktail party." The food was BEYOND anything we could have hoped for, and beyond what we even knew was possible to deliver! From their creativity in the menu planning stage, to their fun attitude about walking out with sparklers, we couldn't have wished for a better team to cater our event!! The food was beautiful, and tasted even better!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for making our wedding one that people can't stop talking about!

    Last week I married the love of my life, and CFY Catering was there to provide excellent food and service! From the very first emails, the level of service we received was outstanding, and they worked with us throughout the entire planning process for a perfect and personalized menu for our reception. They are without a doubt the best caterer in Memphis. We browsed extensively prior to selecting them, and they are a delightful deviation from the norm with their commitment to personalized and reliable service, unique ideas, and fantastic food. Our menu satisfied guests aged 2 to 82, and Jennifer and the team kept everything running smoothly! We highly recommend them for any of your catering needs!

    I cannot begin to thank CFY Catering enough for making my wedding reception such a enjoyable event! The food was superb and the service was even better. I got so many compliments on the food and service staff from my guests that I knew without a doubt I had chosen the right caterer for my wedding. Kevin Bush was such a pleasure to work with--he was very accommodating to all of my requests and answered all of my questions with ease. He made sure I was absolutely happy with the service and food he and his staff were providing from beginning to end, and I truly thank him for that. I would absolutely recommend CFY Catering to any bride looking for an outstanding catering experience.

    Kevin, Corey, Kristi, and the rest of the CFY team are incredibly kind, talented, accommodating, and creative! So many caterers either make delicious, but unattractive food OR beautifully displayed food that falls short on tastiness, and so many caterers rely on frozen products, but CFY definitely doesn't have any of these problems--everything that comes out of their kitchen is delicious, creative, and beautiful. Our first draft menu was practically perfect and the service and extra products they offered (personal "butler," bartenders, mixers for the bars, renting dishes so we didn't have to, etc.) were wonderful. They can get pretty busy and can be hard to reach (phone seemed to be better than email), but they really know what they're doing and I trusted them to make our wedding perfect. They had so many creative ideas for our menu and they were game for some special outside desserts that we brought in too, which was great. They made sure to quickly clear away any abandoned plates and glasses, keep up with trash, and keep their work areas neat--the whole night ran smoothly thanks to their team. I highly recommend them and hope to use them again for future special events!

    I was so amazed by Kevin and his team. They catered my wedding in September 2015 as a buffet style with passed appetizers. My guests were raving all night about how wonderful the food was! Many of my guests were going back for seconds and thirds, which is very rare at wedding receptions since the food tends to be bland (not the situation here!). After my ceremony (we had our ceremony and reception in the same venue) we were greeted with our signature drinks. It made me feel so special! We also had a personal server all night to cater to our needs. Unfortunately she didn't get the chance to cater to us that much since we spent 99% of the night on the dance floor, but it was nice having someone dedicated to serving just us. At the end of the night we were sent home with a to go bag of food which was also awesome since my husband and I did not have the chance to eat at the reception.

    I gave CFY a 3/5 on responsiveness due to the fact that they did not always reply to my emails timely. This could be because I am more of a type A personality and wanted everything planned down to the last detail many months in advance. But in the end everything turned out perfectly and the food was better than I could have imagined! Hire CFY if you want to have amazing food at your wedding that you and your guests will actually enjoy!

    The Good: The food and day-of event service were outstanding, and the menu was creative and interesting. The cost was reasonable for what we ordered and the style of food served. The portions were not very big, but the food was somewhat rich, so I think it was appropriate. The Bad: The unresponsiveness before the event left little to be desired. Not hearing back from the coordinator for 2-3 weeks at a time created unnecessary stress for us, especially since one of the times was a month before our event (this happened twice with different coordinators). I understand that people are busy, but I'm busy too and felt like my time was disrespected (just a quick email letting me know they are working on it would have been fine). Overall, I would recommend them, but just feel it necessary to share my experience for others to make their own decisions. Hopefully, this was a learning experience for all, and won't happen to anyone else.

    We were very selective about who we chose for catering as the food was one of the most important parts of our event. We decided on CFY and are very pleased we did. They were incredibly professional throughout the entire time and the food was delicious. They executed everything just as promised. The only issues I had were that it did not appear we actually had the number of staff working as was stated in our contract and the food meant for children ended up being served to adults several times even though we had passed along a diagram of exactly where the children were sitting. Minor things in the big picture and I would definitley use CFY again.

    Left Early

    Up until my wedding they were great! The food we tried at the tasting was delicious. I was so excited. At the wedding, the chicken was dry. I could’ve handled that but I booked the bar until 10:30. My plan was to leave early with my husband, let my guests drink and dance, and, when we were dropped off, send the limo back to pick up guests. Kind of use the limo as a sober driver to the hotel from the venue. My husband and I left the reception earlier than planned so we asked the limo driver for a little cruise around the town. While my husband and I were riding around I got a call from a friend saying they shut the bar down and had packed everything up. This was around 9:45. My mom has tried to contact them to let them know many of our guests complained about the chicken and to let them know we were upset about the bar. This was 2 weeks ago. I waited to give a review to see if they would contact us. So far they haven’t. This is my final review.

    So we were required to use CFY catering when we chose the Atrium as our reception hall. The food and service provided at the reception was astounding. Everything was presented expertly and tasted amazing, and everything was kept clean and filled. The process leading up to it left some to be desired. It was hard to get in contact with the person in charge, and had to keep going through the secretary instead. Sometimes it took a couple weeks to hear back. And you are also required to rent glasses and plates through them, which was not obvious at the beginning. So, I loved the day of, just not all that led up to it.
