Carefree Catering did an amazing job with my wedding reception in Ponte Vedra, Florida. They were extremely flexible and accommodating to all of our needs!! The food was fantastic....guests were asking for more shrimp and grits (served in a martini glass). We also had them provide two bartenders and I must say, these two guys were great! Many of my guests enjoyed laughing and talking with them as they were very personable and friendly. You can't beat that!!! And the bar ALWAYS had a line!!

Overall, this is a very professional company that provided excellent customer service! We booked them somewhat last minute due to issues with another company, but Gary was so wonderful and responsive to our needs that we wish we would have known about them from the very beginning (it would have saved us a lot of headache!).

If you are looking for a great, professional catering company, definitely contact Carefree Catering.
