Best food, best people

We cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible experience we had with Apimento Catering at our wedding in October 2023. From the moment we met Gay, the owner and creative force behind Apimento, we knew we were in capable hands.

Gay's organizational skills are unparalleled. She not only met but exceeded our expectations, helping us navigate through the intricate details of our wedding day. Her thoughtful guidance allowed us, as a couple, to consider aspects we wouldn't have thought of on our own. It was clear that she genuinely cared about making our day special and stress-free.

The investment in Apimento Catering was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Looking back, it wasn't just a service; it was an experience we would cherish forever. Gay and her team went above and beyond to ensure everything ran seamlessly. The staff was not only professional but also incredibly friendly, making our guests feel warmly welcomed.

The impeccable service provided by Apimento was truly commendable. From the moment the first appetizer was served to the last dance, everything flowed smoothly. The attention to detail, the precision in execution, and the genuine smiles on the faces of the staff contributed to an atmosphere that felt both magical and effortless.

Let's talk about the food – it was beyond amazing! Gay worked closely with us to craft a menu that perfectly matched our vision. The flavors, the presentation, everything was top-notch. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the delicious dishes served throughout the evening.
What stood out most was Gay's personal touch. She not only helped us choose designs for the dining area but also took the time to understand our preferences and style. It felt like she was invested in our wedding too and truly cared how we felt. Her caring nature made us feel not just like clients but like cherished friends celebrating a joyous occasion together.

Choosing Apimento Catering was a decision we'll forever be grateful for. Gay, thank you for making our wedding day not just a success, but a celebration of love and happiness. To anyone considering working with Gay for your event, investing in Apimento Catering is not just a choice – it's an investment in creating memories that will last a lifetime.

With heartfelt thanks,
Jess and Randy

Custom Food and Amazing Service

I can not say enough wonderful things about Gay, Robert, and the rest of the team at A Pimento! They created a custom, locally-sourced, menu that had our guests amazed throughout the evening! From the very beginning, they were so responsive and helpful, and worked tirelessly to make our small wedding special, and most importantly, safe within the current COVID-19 guidelines. Working with A Pimento was truly a pleasure and they made the day completely stress-free and perfect!

Custom Menu and Absolutely Amazing Food!!

A Pimento is not only insanely delicious but they are completely custom!!! This is so major because so many caterers try to just pawn off their "standard recipes" for your wedding and that's not what we wanted on our special day! We had gumbo and a raw bar, steak and trout and everything was executed perfectly! Their service on the day was also impeccable and all of my guests were extremely well taken care of. Not only did they execute my wedding day perfectly but they were so so fun to work with during the entire engagement period. Thank you A Pimento!!
