We retained Asante for our 2017 October wedding and could not be happier with our decision. From the planning process through customizing a menu to our tastes and our story, to accommodating our requests and beating competitors’ value, Asante made sure our wedding food was spectacular. Constant and regular communication was a highlight, and the FOOD! Medium-rare tritip just as requested (which admittedly can be tough to pull off for buffet food!), tasty chicken, beautiful salad, fruit, pasta and antipasto displays. Their signature strawberry basil lemonade is just fantastic. Their staff were attentive, professional, and accommodated everything we asked for. I would not hesitate to recommend Asante to anyone looking for catering. Terra-Lynne was a dream to work with, and came up with a great idea the week before our wedding for us- we had mini bottles olive oil as favors, and they offered to comp us balsamic vinegar at each table so guests could use the favors to combine and dip their breads in! Just such a great experience with them. Breakdown was about 47/pp for food, wine/beer bartending services about 5/pp, small fee for breakage/usage, 20% charge for setup/design/service, and tax. Very straightforward pricing, and worth every penny- the quality of the food was just excellent, and they let us keep the leftovers- which we had quite a bit of!

The one thing your guests will want to talk about after your wedding is the food...sorry bride.

The food and service will determine if your wedding was good or bad, and our wedding was awesome thanks to Asante Catering. From beginning to end, Layne and Terra-Lynne were easy to work with and readily available. They worked closely with our on site wedding coordinator, and ensured we followed our strict timeline. Cocktail hour, dinner service, and the bar all flowed seamlessly. In fact, they moved the bar to follow our guests from reception to dining (a necessary transition for any wedding with guests that like to drink).

As for the food, we still get compliments today. We offered some ideas about our vision for an upscale version of familiar comfort foods and they ran with it. They provided a variety of proteins, veggies, sides, and salads. Nothing was cold or bland when our guests returned to their dining tables. Additionally, we had guests with a wide range of dietary restrictions, and clashing cultures: gluten free, vegetarian, red meat allergies, nut allergies, lactose intolerant and a preference for Filipino and Spanish inspired dishes. Who would have thought of gluten free mac and cheese bites and spicy veggie black bean empanadas? They even offered to remake any salad on site to accommodate any other dietary restriction.

Most importantly, a complaint we heard from couples following their wedding was that the food was never as good as at the tasting. That was not the case for Asante Catering. In fact, it tastes great the next day too when you and your families get to pick through the leftovers. Because Asante believes if you paid for the food, you should get all the food. So, no need to fret over all those guests that RSVPed but never showed; you can feast on their share the next day!

My fiance and I are getting married in March 2016. We were both stationed in Italy when we first contacted Asante Catering. They have been extremely helpful and have gone out of there way to work with the time changes and the fact that it's tough to contact each other. They customized menus for us and asked all kinds of questions to make sure we get exactly what we want. I strongly recommend this caterer.
