A 5-Star Experience

If treating your guests to an amazing eating experience is high on your list then AFE is a must. The food, service and entire experience with AFE was nothing less then 5 star. Our wedding guests could not quite talking about how amazing the food stations were at our daughter’s wedding. And the staff was incredible. Highly recommend considering AFE for any event.

Absolutely excellent!

We absolutely love AFE! They catered both our engagement party and our wedding (and have catered a number of events for my parents) and the food is always incomparable. It’s like getting high-quality, incredibly delicious food from your favorite restaurant, but served to you at a party! All of our wedding guests RAVED about how good the food was. They were flexible and creative. We have been spoiled to have the same awesome ladies from AFE get to know us well and take great care of us, always saving some of our favorites for us :). AFE learned what our favorite foods were and then found ways to make them extra fun at the wedding— dance floor chicken sandwich and waffle fry delivery? YES PLEASE! We also had an AFE attendant specifically for my husband and me, to make sure we were hydrated, well-fed, and taken care of. Excellent service, from the booking process to the whole wedding!

One very unexpected piece of feedback we got from our guests was that the bathroom attendant in the ladies room was INCREDIBLE. Seriously, several people actually told us that. Now that is how great AFE is at making your day better - staffing even the bathroom with someone with an awesome personality!!

Not only is the food insanely good, but AFE was so awesome and accommodating and worked with us to perfect every aspect of the food, from the hors d’oeuvres to the appetizers, the main course and the after dinner snacks. We can not recommend AFE enough for catering any kind of event. And we can’t wait to book them again!

Wonderful!

My husband and I used A Fare Extraordinaire for our wedding in March. They did almost everything, including catering, linen, flatware, floral, altar structure, DJ, and extra lighting. We worked very closely with Chrissy during the planning process, and she was wonderful. If there was a concern, problem, or we changed our mind about something, she saw that the issue was corrected with all vendors. Our Wedding Day turned out incredible. My husband and I were in awe of how everything came together. The food was delicious, and we had many guests get second servings (we elected to do a buffet for this reason). The staff was very attentive and kind. The vendors they recommended (DJ Hoyet, lighting, and floral) were fantastic. We loved working with AFE and would recommend them to anyone!!
