So professional, flexible, and a great experience!
Candace was so responsive and accommodating to my requests. She was the only vendor who was as willing and open to discuss within my budget and I am so grateful for that. She also was present at the venue walk through and made sure to have all the details right. The entire team was also able to pull together the image I wanted with cocktail hour and reception. Everything was seamless, efficient, delicious, and beautiful! I couldn’t be happier!

amazing value & team!
I cannot say enough good things about the team at Arizona Taste!! From start to finish, Candace was incredibly communicative, flexible, and supportive. She was truly the perfect partner, both as our caterer and the supplier of all of our chairs, tables, flatware & glassware. It was a massive undertaking but Candace never batted an eye, executing our vision to a T. She kept track of all of our additions & inventory changes and was always kind and pleasant to work with. Most importantly, we received SOO many compliments about the food both in terms of flavor and portion size (much more substantial than typical wedding meals!). All of the servers were also incredibly impressive & professional throughout the evening. You won’t find a better value than Arizona Taste.

Absolutely Amazing.
Candace and her team at Arizona Taste were absolutely amazing. The food was fantastic and they took care of everything! Our friends and family are still talking about the food. Candace goes above and beyond to help in any way she can to make your day as perfect as possible. From coordinating tables and linens, to helping with setup, she can handle it all!

Arizona Taste is the best! They have a great team from top to bottom, and they don't just do the food, they help with the entire event. Candace and Mary are the sweetest, most helpful, and experienced team you could ask for!

DELICIOUS FOOD AND A DELIGHT TO WORK WITH!! We knew exactly what kind of meal we wanted for our Icehouse wedding, and Arizona Taste’s was the best we sampled. Candace put together a great menu featuring barbecue brisket and ribs, and I can’t count how many amazing compliments we received from our guests at the wedding and after! Per my good friend joking via text the next day, “That brisket was so good I would’ve slapped my mama!” The groom’s family was staying at a very nice place for our wedding weekend that also does events, and because of all the rave reviews that were being expressed the next morning, they actually asked their name to add to their preferred vendors list. We also used Arizona Taste for all of our bar service (we had three stations), some of our rentals, got a china package that was a lot lower than what seemed to be the standard going rate everywhere else, and were very impressed with their prices overall – the best deal we’d seen for the whole package! We really loved working with Candace, and the level of service provided by the whole event staff was unparalleled. Also important to us was the fact that they didn’t bat an eye when we asked if they’d have any issues with us bringing outside vendors/food trucks in for additional snacks – specifically kettle corn which we wanted popped fresh on site – and how well they worked with and coordinated with all our other vendors. Just can’t say enough about Arizona Taste or Candace and all they did to make our event so wonderful for us and our guests! THANKS A MILLION!

We used Arizona Taste for our wedding and what can I say other than DELICIOUS!! Candace was super easy to work with leading up to the event. She and her Staff did a fantastic job getting everything set-up and looking great and did an outstanding job working with our crazy family and friends. We received rave reviews from all of our guests saying it was the best wedding food they've ever had and we couldn't agree more!!

Arizona Taste is the best! As a award winning wedding planner, when it was time for me to get married, Arizona Taste was my go-to. They are so incredibly easy to work with, their food is absolutely amazing, and their service quality is hands down the best in the industry. I work with so many different caterers all over the Valley, Arizona Taste is preferred for catering at all of the major wedding venues - there is a reason for this... they are the best. When it comes time for me as a wedding planner to choose a caterer for my client weddings, no matter the size 500+ or a small wedding of 30 - Arizona Taste is the go-to for us. They work with you on cost and they work with you on making your food choices stand out.
For my wedding, we did a pre-ceremony cocktail hour at my parent's home and they came up with all of these fun food pairings that blew my guests away. The food was hot (which is really important to me, I can't stand caterers that deliver cold food) and the service was top notch, dressed formally and all with smiles.
They run their catering business like a well oiled machine. That is why I used them for my client Alice Cooper - and his son's wedding. They are foodies... the food had to be good!
You want this catering company by your side on your wedding day... your guests will have an amazing experience - take it from a wedding planner :)

Arizona Taste is a family run catering company, but they are super professional and offer something above and beyond traditional service. We could not have pulled off our reception without Candace and Arizona Taste! Our wedding was a "destination wedding" for most of our guests since most of our friends live on the East Coast, while our family lives on the West Coast (but all in different places), and my husband is in the military so we didn't live near anyone. So it was very important to us to offer a dinner, a nice dinner. Food is always so expensive, and often doesn't come out well in large numbers (we had 100 guests). Candace not only worked within our budget, but was able to add little extras like chocolate dipped strawberries and a sorbet course that weren't expensive, but made it seem more fancy. We really enjoyed working with Candace and were so glad we found her.

Arizona Taste is AMAZING! Candace was absolutely the best to work with. She listened to everything we wanted and put together a fabulously delicious menu for us. We are still getting compliments on the catering and we've had several requests for the recipe for the Guinness Beef Stew. Candace also worked with us on our budget. Not only did we get the amazing food, but she brought the bar, glassware, china, silverware, extra tables, linens, and the whole staff. She was able to fit in everything for our original budget amount. Everything looked gorgeous and her staff was friendly, professional, and very accommodating. They prepare the food on site in a "cooking" van so the food is fresh right from the start. Candace also met with our other vendors and our venue before the wedding to make sure that everything was perfect for us. If we could adopt her into our family, we would. I can't say enough great things about Arizona Taste Catering! They made our wedding absolutely amazing and unforgettable!

We couldn't have wished for better food or service. In the planning stages we were carefully listened to and Candice and Gary offered interesting options when it was clear we needed help. They smoothly handled not only the food but all of the glassware for table and bar, dinner and flatware, chairs, tables, and linens. On-site staff was profession, unobtrusive and plentiful enough that service was quick, smooth, seamless. There's no doubt we made the right choice in caterer
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
