Great Food and Service

From beginning to end, working with Amphora Catering (especially Xochitl) was amazing! Our venue recommended Amphora as their preferred caterer, and we had tried Amphora's delicious food on several occasions via other events we had attended at the venue, so we were already somewhat familiar with their product. The food, attention to detail from Xochitl and her team, service, professionalism, and bartending were all well worth the price we paid. We received many compliments from our guests on the food. Xochitl was an absolute pleasure to work with, and she answered every question we had and made us comfortable with all our decisions. We also appreciated her attention to detail and thoughtfulness throughout the whole process.

The food here was absolutely amazing and the cake was so scrumptious!! Naima was so amazing to work with. She was friendly and was very patient with me when our minds were changed :) - there was a wide variety of food to taste and were accommodating to the kids meals as well!!! I would definitely recommend Amphora to anyone looking for an amazing caterer. Their staff was so pleasant. And even brought my husband and I a plate of appetizers before they were all gone, since we were busy taking photos!! Thought that was extra awesome!!

Wow, there is just NO we could have pulled off our wedding without Angela and her team! She was amazing at every turn. From our first meeting, we were made to feel special and our initial tasting was incredible. Angela immediately understood the style we were going for and incorporated all of our thoughts while coming up with unique and wonderful touches of her own. We made changes constantly throughout the process and she always handled them happily and easily. We could not have been happier with the finished product! Highly recommended!!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
