Amazing caterer!

Dennis and his team were amazing to work with for our wedding! We got Mexican food and it was freshly prepared and delicious. We got many comments on how amazing the food was. Dennis was very prompt and professional in all our interactions, and just a really positive and friendly person to work with. The whole event went very smoothly and he had a very professional serving team. We would recommend them for any event!

Amazing experience!

We hired Dennis and his team at Cater Phoenix to cater our wedding. Dennis and his team were amazing during the entire process, from the first tasting through all the decisions that needed to be made to the actual wedding itself the communication was prompt, informative and friendly. The day of the wedding went seamlessly, and the food was phenomenal, over a week later we still have people commenting on how delicious everything tasted. I can’t say enough positive things about our experience with Cater Phoenix, we will definitely use them again for other events.

HIGHLY recommend!

We are so happy Dennis and Whitney of Cater Phoenix catered our wedding welcome dinner. They catered to our different menu requests and were patient with all of our questions, comments and concerns for our wedding welcome dinner at Venue8600. The tasting with Dennis was fantastic and it surely did not disappoint the day of the welcome dinner. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. We would highly recommend Cater Phoenix without any hesitation for any and all catering needs!

Incredible

The only thing my father wanted input on was the food (fair enough since he was footing the bill!). Chef Dennis was amazing. Professional yet still so personable. He was direct and up front about how they do things and what we were paying for. The food was INCREDIBLE. Every single dish. My only “complaint” is that everyone ate everything and we didn’t end up with leftovers (which Dennis had offered to pack up for us). The staff was amazing, the food was delicious, and honestly I think they should’ve charged more! Everything was absolutely perfect and Dennis was so accommodating and responsive. And as someone who grew up in Cave Creek, I was so grateful to have such an amazing local company cater my wedding.

We LOVE Cater Phoenix

Dennis and Cater Phoenix catered our wedding (70 people) and we are so happy with how everything turned out! We went with the Mexican menu and the food was amazing! The spice and flavors were great! Many of our guests complimented the food saying it was some of the best food they had ever had at a wedding.

Not only was the food great but Cater Phoenix and their staff we amazing to work with. They were pleasant and very professional.

Dennis and Whitney were always willing to work with us on all parts of the menu and were always quick to respond to our emails.

I highly recommend hiring Cater Phoenix for your wedding or your next event! I am so happy that we did!

Dennis at Cater Phoenix was amazing! We had food stations and we could not have been more happy. I had a guest with a gluten allergy and he was so great about making she was accommodated. We had the Mac & Cheese bar, the slider bar and the Pasta Bar. Our guests loved it! I wish I had pictures to share but I think the food was eaten way too fast!! haha. I highly recommend Cater Phoenix!

The only thing we heard from our guests about the food was that it was the best wedding reception food that they've ever had. When we went out to their kitchen to do the tasting with Dennis, we knew that we made the right decision.

The hors d'oeuvres we chose were the chicken and waffle sliders, the jerk shrimp, and the caprese salad skewers. They were all amazing and Dennis and his staff made sure me and my wife got to try everything. Our food stations were so good and I regret not stuffing my face with more! The buffalo chicken sliders were incredible, the taco station was so good, and the mac and cheese bar was out of this world. My mouth is watering just from typing this review. I highly recommend hiring Dennis and Cater Phoenix for your reception. You will NOT be disappointed!

Best food ever! Cater Phoenix was our 2nd tasting and number 1 winner when we were looking to book a caterer. We loved how passionate and excited Dennis would get when we would throw out certain ideas we had about what food we wanted served at our wedding. The prices are reasonable considering the amazing quality of food you and your guests get to eat. Our guests even took food home, because that is how much they enjoyed everything! The staff is quick and incredibly professional. The display of the food is modern and innovative. We had 5 different stations for our guests to choose from, tacos, mac and cheese, salad, sliders and turkey. They are accommodating to any diet restriction and do their best to make sure everyone had a great dinner experience. I would recommend Cater Phoenix for any event that you would need a caterer for.

Dennis and his team at Cater Phoenix are Awesome! The food was above and beyond tasty than any wedding dinner I have ever had! We had booked more people than had actually come to our wedding and it's a good thing that we did. There were no leftovers, the guests went back for seconds! (Some tried for 3rds!)
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
