Catering by A Small Affair was wonderful to work with. Chef Nikki is hands down unbelievable! Our guests are still talking about how amazing our food was. You can not go wrong with this caterer. High end, delicious food with phenomenal service and presentation. This is not your typical wedding food, it's an experience. Best of all the process seamless and pricing was right within our budget. John guided us through the process which can be overwhelming on your own. He took care of floor plans, schedules and helped with rentals. The day of went by without a hitch thanks to John's oversight. This is a well oiled machine that works flawlessly. You name it and they will deliver. We can't wait to hire them for our next catered event!

We can't say enough great things about John, Nikki, and their staff, they did a FANTASTIC job at our wedding this September. We decided on a vineyard wedding, which planning from Singapore without a wedding planner was a challenge but they made it so much easier. John really took on that role and he was always so responsive and flexible to our schedule, we couldn't have done it without him. If you are looking for restaurant quality food and someone to help navigate through the daunting process of planning the wedding from seating charts, timings, menu, rentals etc, then they are the team you want to cater your event. Having A Small Affair as our caterer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. The food was amazing, our guests were (and still are) raving about the food and said it was the best they ever had at an event before. Nikki (the chef) is so talented and can prepare just about anything you want your menu to include. Their staff were all so accommodating, our guests also told us how friendly and helpful they were throughout the night. John and Nikki are true professionals and at the same time so friendly and kept us at ease throughout the whole process. I really cannot recommend them enough, but my advice would be to stop wasting time and see if they are available for your date!

John and Nikki Perry are two of a kind. Such an amazing team! They truly made our wedding absolutely amazing. From the first tasting to the last Nikki gets it right every time. Every single guest at the wedding complimented the food. Now lets not forget John. Job is the perfect person to have by your side through the planning process. He was accessible for advice on seating, food, wine or just to vent. Him and his staff helped to make our day PERFECT! We cannot thank the enough. John and Nikki make you feel like family. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone!!

John and Nikki are amazing. John runs the perfect and always smooth front end. He's only outdone by Nikki and her culinary skills. They are the perfect pair. I've worked as a photographer for many of their events and they always overdeliver. After an event, their clients are still talking about how they made the right decision to go with Catering by... A Small Affair. Give them a call and I know you'll be happy.
