Best wedding food ever!

12th Street Catering was hands down one of the best vendors I worked with in my entire wedding planning process.
Initially, I was going to book a different caterer, but that catering company was very challenging to get in touch with and had me waiting 2 weeks past their promised date, just for a quote. With those challenges, I decided to put in an inquiry with 12th Street, and I got a call from the lovely Peter a mere 2 hours later. Within a few days, I had a detailed estimate. We booked them then and there!
We worked with Peter to finalize the details of our catering set-up and menu, and I can't sing his praises enough. We changed our mind a few times, and Peter was so incredible at being flexible, patiently explaining the different options, and was always so kind and lovely to work with. Planning a wedding can be really stressful, but I was never stressed when working with Peter (and 12th Street in general), because they make it a point to provide excellent customer service.
I know they must be really busy, but Peter always got back to me so quickly, and made me and my partner feel like a priority. Plus, the food is absolutely delicious! Numerous people specifically commented on how amazing the food was during and after the wedding, and multiple people said it was "the best food I've ever had at a wedding." They have so many delectable options, it's easy to make your vision into a reality.
I'd whole heartedly recommend 12th Street Catering for anyone planning a wedding, or an event in general!

Unbelievably elegant, incredibly thorough

Incredibly wonderful experience. The food quality was excellent and the selection was extremely vast. We absolutely loved our tasting beforehand to round out our menu, and Harry was incredibly gracious in being accessible (even doing our walk through with our event planner!). The day of, all the staff were so generous and kind, and raved about the offering. No notes!
