Luau Event

We had a Luau event and can say how wonderful they were to work with.
The servicing & bar staff was amazing.
The food and Bat items we picked on their Luau menu was delicious and everything they said they would do they did.
Plan on using them again for our event in the future

Amazing Food

Carlos and Doug did an amazing job at setting up and serving. They both worked so hard and were so friendly with the guests. My, person of contact, Eric was not as friendly or helpful. He made me feel that I did not spend enough money for him to even take the time to introduce himself to us. we almost went to another caterer because of him. Glad we didn't, the food was over the top. I cannot say enough about how Carlos and Robert took care of everything and everyone!!

Amazing service!

Affordable catering catered my wedding this past Saturday. They are truly the best around, the service and food was nothing short of amazing. My guests raved about the food all night. From the start of planning to the very end they made it so easy to plan. I didn’t have to stress about anything. They are so helpful with last minute questions, changes and accommodations. The bartender was great as well as the service staff. We would 10/10 choose Affordable Catering in the future. Thank you for making my wedding perfect!

Anniversary party at Tampa Woman's Club

I am the event attendee at The Tampa Woman's Club and would like to acknowledge how great Damaris is at taking care of her clients and the venue. She is very attentive to making everything look extra special and goes the extra to have an enjoyable and delicious affair. As for the venue, I am very happy with her attention to cleaning up and leaving the kitchen and serving area as clean as it was at the start of the event. Thank you

Amazing Food!

Our wedding food was better than we could have hoped for! We wanted a Latin inspired menu and Affordable Catering was able to accommodate our request. Our guests raved about how amazing the food tasted. And they lived up to their name by providing a super affordable meal and liquor package within our budget. The bartenders and servers were super professional and efficient. Additionally, Maria helped us customize our menu and responded to all our questions in a timely manner. I would definitely choose them again for another event.

Delicious!!

Affordable catering was the best, honestly the best prices in town! Food and alcohol was the best for your deal. As the bride I didn’t get a chance to eat during the wedding, but the food a day later was still so delicious.

Shivers wedding

Professional, all staff are friendly. Their set up was great and on time. We chose blackberry key lime chicken which was fabulous and the Mac m cheese was delicious as well. No complaints really. Choose them for your catering needs in central Florida and you can’t go wrong.
