Turned a Gym into a Wedding Venue

What would we have done without Avalon, they were so professional, gave us EVERYTHING we wanted and super affordable! People won't stop talking about how amazing the food was, and can we please talk about how they TRANSFORMED SportRock Climbing Center (a gym) into a stunning wedding venue for our dream wedding! Will hire them for any upcoming events!

The catering service was great for our wedding reception. The staff was very friendly, professional, and took care of our needs. The food presentation was great as well. Overall, I would definitely recommend this catering service!

After contacting several caterers by phone, I was leaning toward Avalon Caterers because Kevin was the most pleasant and responsive on the phone. Then, we went for a tasting, and signed the contract on the spot because the food was so tasty, and Kevin was just as easy to work with in person. He understood our theme and had several suggestions for making it happen. He handled some last minute changes with a calm "not a problem, whatever you need" attitude, including making a last minute trip back to his office to pick up an umbrella for our musicians, to protect them from the sun during our outdoor garden ceremony, and returning in time to make sure everything went off without a hitch. Our guests raved about the food. Some went back to make sure they sampled everything because they didn't want to miss anything; several commented that ours was the best wedding cake they had ever tasted. Service was excellent -- we looked back on it the next day and realized that everything ran so smoothly the day of our wedding while we were busy simply enjoying our guests and our day.
