Above and beyond

They were able to work within our budget and still serve 5 star food! It was SO delicious and guests still remember that. We are foodies so delicious food was a must. There was a special item I wanted to get and they served it to my husband for his meal free of charge. Absolutely wonderful service and mouth watering!

Delicious Food

We are so thankful to Jenny and everyone at Black Fig for all their amazing help! Jenny helped us construct the most perfect menu for our outdoor rustic wedding, and the food was amazing! Jenny went above and beyond to make sure our catering needs were met and everything was in place and perfect for our day! She helped us problem solve some last minute issues that came about beyond her control and I couldn’t be more grateful and happy with how everything turned out! The food was amazing! All of our guests raved about it! Especially the Bradley’s Sausage puff pastries! I would say these are a must to add to your menu! We will very happily recommend Black Fig to all our friends and family for their events! Thank you so much! –The Hengstebecks

They really care about the services they provide!

Black Fig did an unbelievable job with my wedding! We reserved them early, because we know that they are in high demand. There was a change in staff partially through the process, but they handled it smoothly and everything was exactly as I wanted the day of. From the start, I emphasized that I wanted a seasonal, local Florida-inspired menu, and they delivered!

I was worried about how buffet style was going to work with 185 people, but it went so smoothly and there was more than enough for everyone! The food was amazing. My guests could not stop talking about it. In fact, one of my biggest regrets of my wedding was that I missed cocktail hour and the fresh fried shrimp and oysters. The chef is an absolute genius and the fact that they have recently hired a new pastry chef has only increased what they are able to do.

In all this, the highlight of my experience with this company was when everyone had gotten their food. Everyone was sitting down enjoying themselves, and the chef walked around to each table asking them how they liked their food. What a class act. The groom and I were so impressed. Overall, great food, and so much more than basic catering!

Where do I start? Mark and his team are phenomenal. So many guests at our wedding came up to us raving about the food! They were communicative, they were knowledgeable and able to make suggestions, and they are fantastic at what they do. From the passed appetizers to the desserts we were so impressed. Thank you again Black Fig for helping our wedding be as perfect as it was!

I was extremely pleased with Black Fig as our caterer for our Rehearsal Dinner. We had a wonderful experience with them! The food was absolutely amazing and the service was fantastic! I would not hesitate to choose them again for any event that I have! Rayna did an outstanding job with coordinating the catering with our location - Proof Brewery by meeting in advance and working with them on all the details! Fabulous job!

Black Fig was one of the first vendors I nailed down while planning our wedding. I had heard nothing but great things, and I knew I had to use them. Velma was extremely helpful in putting together multiple menu options of foods that would mesh well together. She was also completely unfazed at my wanting to change one of the appetizer options just 10 days before the wedding. The thought of not trying the food that so many people will be eating at the reception can be an uneasy one, but I am so glad I did not let that deter me from using Black Fig. I am still hearing how much better the food was than other wedding caterers'. For any future catering needs I may have, I'll be using Black Fig.

We came to Black Fig after our original plan (reserved for months and months) fell through. Needless to say, we were a very last minute request. They squeezed their catering schedule on a very busy weekend and exceeded our expectations. Everyone raved about the food and service! Their pin wheels and bacon infused blue cheese dip are a MUST among everything else they made! They rocked it!

We loved Black Figs catering at our wedding. All of our guest raved on how great the food was. Which can be hard for a buffet style meal. Paula was amazingly easy to work with and very responsive. She met with us and worked to create a meal geared around our favorite foods.

They also packed up all the leftovers and gave them to someone to take home. We had food for over a week!

We will use Black Fig for all of our catering in the future.
