Wonderful food & service!

From the very first tasting, we knew we were in great hands. The food was fresh, beautifully presented, and so flavorful that we’re still getting compliments weeks later! Their team was professional, attentive, and super accommodating of our guests’ dietary needs. You can really tell they care about what they do. Highly recommend them if you want your guests raving about the meal!

Amazing Experience

Michele was a delight to work with from the beginning. He was pleasant, friendly and helped us design our menu, offering suggestions on pairing dishes.

He communicated with us throughout the months leading up to our wedding. And gave us total clarity regarding services provided and pricing.

On top of that, the food was absolutely delicious. The prime rib was a guest favorite and his salmon penne was amazing.

I highly recommend Aroma Catering to anyone needing delicious food for an event.

Delizioso!

Aroma catered our wedding in October 2022 and we not be happier with our choice. Michele and his staff treated us like family and went above and beyond to make sure our wedding food was perfecto! My mom and best man are vegetarian and Michele made them their own custom plate! Our guests raved about the food! We would highly recommend Aroma for any catering needs!

Delicious!

Aroma catered our wedding this past February. We had a buffet-style service for about 125 people. The food and the presentation were amazing. Our guests raved about all of the food, but a few crowd favorites were the ceviche shooter appetizers and the mascarpone garlic mashed potatoes ( I know several people who went back for 3rds). Also, they were able to accommodate our guests with dietary restrictions and made them equally delicious alternatives. The whole staff, especially Michele, were knowledgable and professional and they come highly recommended (which is well deserved). Best food in the area for your event.

Great 'Bang for the Buck' Caterer!

What a great Caterer! Isn't it nice when you find someone who REALLY goes the extra mile? That really describes this company! A fantastic value and bang for the buck as well as a fabulous display of their food, quick, quick buffet service and ready to do whatever is required to make things work. I recommend them highly!

Aroma is an amazing culinary experience. I find myself needing to control myself around their food, because it's so good. I want to eat and eat until I'm stuffed. They know their stuff and it is really good.
