Wonderful food!

Taste of Excellence did a wonderful job catering our wedding! They allowed us to pick several delicious entree options so all of our guests got something they liked, and we had a wonderful experience with our tasting as well. Many thanks to Lindsay who helped us from the beginning of our planning to our wedding day!

Excellent!

They are really excellent! Savannah was a pleasure to work with. Energetic and super responsive.
I was so confident everything will be done to perfection and I didn’t worry about it before and during the wedding and danced the night away.
The food, service and set up was perfect. All the guests were so happy with the food and bar service!
I cannot recommend them enough.

Make your wedding menu yours

They were great to work with. We were able to make a custom wedding menu that was not a boring buffet. We were able to go in for a taste and alter the menu. The communication before the venue is great. I would recommend them for your wedding.

Absolutely amazing

Here we sit at the end of our 10th day as husband and wife and we still can’t stop talking about how happy we are with our choice of catering with A Taste of Excellence.
Kaitlyn Sauers, the senior sales manager that we worked with only had about six weeks to get acquainted, organized, facilitate and meet our expect and without a doubt she went above and beyond to be available and flexible to us.
We cannot say enough good things about the strength in her work with A Taste of Excellence. She put together a team to ensure that our day had what it needed to be successful and focused her objective on ensuring we were satisfied with not only the catering service, which was absolutely amazing but also that our entire evening flowed and the guests were happy. We are still getting messages ten days later about how fantastic our food was and how fun their presentation was.
Cindy and Rachel were among the crew that was sent to cater our wedding. They were attentive, professional, receptive and very hard working. They picked up on little things as well as big things and carried on without letting on anything was out of sorts. Rachel made sure I made it down the aisle by getting a little ones together, letting the DJ know, carrying my train up and down stairs and keeping it together. She will forever be in my ♥️ . And our pictures. 😉
The Taste of Excellence was hired to cater the food service and they completely exceeded their expected duties without hesitation. They stayed over their scheduled time to make sure we had everything we hoped to have that evening. 
We cannot praise A Taste of Excellence enough for their professionalism, commitment and the love they showed to us on our wedding day.
Thank you for EVERYTHING ♥️

The BEST choice!

Probably what I stressed about the most and ended being the least stressful vendor to work with! From the beginning up until the very end of the wedding reception, Taste of Excellence was amazing! You cannot go wrong with any meal from their menu! So many compliments from our guests about the amazing food and service from the staff. We used Taste of Excellence for food, tables/chairs, linens and bar service. The staff was a well oiled machine and if there were any issues I was never made aware. I felt completely cared for the entire planning process. I cannot recommend this caterer enough!

Food was delicious!

My wedding was at Mapleside Farms. Taste of excellence was so easy to work with. Maddie always answered my questions quick and right to the point. All of my guests love the food. We did BBQ and they love it! People are still talking about the chicken. If you ever have any issues or concerns, they listen and make sure its right. Taste of excellence was so easy to work with and the food speaks for itself:)

Outstanding Service

Mary Jane and her crew delivered a wedding beyond our expectations! My daughter had her reception at the Cleveland City Hall Rotunda with Catering by A Taste of Excellence. They guided us from booking through the final hour of the reception. Phenomenal food and service!

Great Caterer

We changed wedding venues to Market Square at Crocker Park after postponing our wedding due to COVID and hired Taste of Excellence Catering. From day one, they were very responsive all of my questions and unbelievably flexible regarding the menu, allergies/dietary restrictions, etc. The food is incredible, every single thing we had at our tasting was amazing! At our wedding we ended up having the NY strip steak, the salmon with dill sauce, the chicken marsala, and the grilled vegetable tarrine (vegetarian) and mashed potatoes as the side. Everyone raved about the food and the portion sizes. Our only complaint was that they forgot to box up the meals for those who had RSVPed yes and didn't come, but they offered to refund us those meals which was nice. The staff was attentive and kind and everything otherwise ran smoothly. I would highly recommend using Taste of Excellence Catering for any wedding or event!!

We also got all of our chairs, tables, and linens through Taste of Excellence and loved how everything looked and was set up!
