INCREDIBLE caterer - highly recommend
We are so glad we chose Catered By Design for our wedding. Sam Gray and the entire staff did a fantastic job and were a joy to work with throughout, from the pre-wedding planning through the entire wedding weekend experience. They took into account several dietary restrictions and accommodated them amazingly, (as well as procured a few separate Kosher meals for a few of our guests). They created the most beautiful Taco Bar set up as well as a Brownie Bar, and were so professional and helpful all throughout. Their day-of staff were polite and overwhelmingly helpful. All of the bar staff kept guests' glasses flowing and made the experience so special and unique for me (the bride) as well as my groom and ALL of our family and friends. Not only was all of the food DELICIOUS but the presentation of all it was BEAUTIFUL and went well beyond our expectations. It was all of the small touches and attention to detail that made CBD such a joy to work with - they proactively provided suggestions during the planning process, such as having a "wine tree" so that after our Ceremony guests could quickly grab filled wine glasses without waiting in line at the bar. We got rave reviews from all our wedding guests and everyone was so impressed with how delicious, unique, and perfect it all was. If you're considering other caterers, stop, and go with Catered By Design. You won't be sorry. :)

Great Job - Catered by Design
Catered by Design provided catering for our wedding reception in December 2018. We were extremely happy with the overall experience in communicating with the caterer, finalizing the agreement, selecting all food items, having a taste testing, meeting at the venue site to go over all the logistics and staffing (14 team members) a month before the event, going over all the details immediately prior to the event and the actual catering at our reception. The food was great and all the staff very pleasant. After our reception we wrote a letter to the caterer's CEO informing him what a great job their team did for our the 250+ guests at our wedding reception.
