This is your sign!

If you are reading this before booking catering by robert this is your sign to book them! I give them all the credit for our wedding day running as smoothly as it did. When looking for a vendor we wanted a company that was just as invested in our big day as we were and they were just that. From the very beginning Susan became our main point of contact and through our 1 year planning process she guided us through all the steps and had great communication. If there was something you were not thinking about, she was 10 steps ahead of you. Saying “they got it handled” became something I said often because they really are full service. Susan may be your main point of contact but on the day of just be reassured that the entire team is amazing. We received so many compliments on their service and attention to all our guest. Might I say they also made one of the best Margaritas I have had. The bartending package was completely worth the add on if your venue allows. The line was never long and the bartender did an amazing job at remembering everyone’s orders and would have it ready before the guest even came up to the bar if he saw them heading his way.

We had a biracial wedding and all of our guests gave us huge compliments on the food and stated it was the best wedding food they have had before. The variety of food was unbelievable there truly was something for everyone and they were willing to make accommodations for our guests with food restrictions. We took advantage of a lot of their in house decor and our vision came to life so much better than I expected. They were the best decision we made and I will forever be grateful for the kindness & expertise. We are still in awe of it all! 🤍

Outstanding!

I would recommend catering by Robert to anyone searching in the area. Communication was precise, prices were fair, and day of includes a coordinator. I did not have to think of a single thing on my wedding day. Susan and her coordinator did all the thinking for me. I’m forever grateful for this team!!

My worry free wedding day!

I was absolutely blown away by my day thanks to Catering by Robert. From the beginning I was amazed by all of the pieces that they said they could handle and I was extremely excited to not have to get several different vendors for the bits and pieces. With only a few real touchpoints before the big day they were able to bring all of my ideas and dreams into reality without a hitch. My vintage Florida wedding was exactly what I had envisioned and I didn’t have to worry about any details getting left behind. I was extremely vigilant with my lists but when it came down to it I don’t think I had to be because they had my back. Not to even mentioned the food - which everyone complimented and I even got to enjoy as the bride (if you can believe it). I was recommended to them by a friend and I would recommend them to any friend, myself. I’m so glad I trusted them with my day! Read less

Amazing Caterer/Day of Coordinator

Susan and her team were amazing in helping to make our wedding day dreams come to life. The food was really good, her team was responsive and helped bring to life our vision for our reception. From how they decorated, to the supplies they had on hand that we did not have to purchase to checking in and making sure our day went smoothly everything was so great. We felt taken care of and everything went smoothly because of Susan and her team! Would highly recommend them!

Amazing food!

Susan and the team at Catering by Roberts were absolutely incredible! Susan was so much more than just our caterer—she was an invaluable resource throughout our entire wedding planning process. She took the time to answer questions, guide us through decisions, and even recommended other vendors, which made planning so much less stressful.

One thing we especially appreciated was being able to attend tastings before finalizing our menu. It was incredibly helpful and gave us confidence that we were choosing the perfect options for our wedding. The variety of food available was amazing, and everything we selected was absolutely delicious.

We received countless compliments from our guests about the food all night long. Many people told us it was some of the best wedding food they had ever had! The quality, presentation, and flavor exceeded our expectations.

We are so grateful to Susan and her team for their hard work, professionalism, and support throughout the entire process. They played a huge role in making our wedding day so special, and we cannot recommend Catering by Roberts highly enough!

Hire these guys

EXCEPTIONAL! No need to look any further for your catering needs. ⭐️

We hired Catering by Robert / Event Concepts for our 85-person wedding at a private home, and they exceeded every expectation. Multiple guests, including those who work in food & beverage and events, raved about both the team and the food.

The staff worked efficiently, thoughtfully, and professionally, and even seemed to genuinely enjoy what they were doing. There’s a wonderful mom-and-pop feel to the company—warm, personal, and attentive—paired with truly high-quality, professional service.

We were impressed by the wide range of menu options and chose a Caribbean-inspired menu, which was a huge hit. The paella “action station” was a standout. Freshly cooked on-site in a massive wok, absolutely delicious, and a beautiful, photogenic centerpiece.

We also used their bar service, which allowed us to supply our own alcohol while they provided everything else: bartender, cups, garnishes, ice, and mixers. It made the process so easy.

Susan, the owner, was incredible—attentive, patient, personable, communicative, creative, and genuinely kind. She went above and beyond, even providing linens, table décor, and napkins (including the perfect orange accent we wanted!) at no additional cost. She met with us at the venue beforehand and held an in-person design meeting to help bring everything together.

The complimentary group tasting was another highlight. It gave us the chance to try menu items and meet their fantastic team ahead of time.

The cherry on top is that the pricing for everything they provided was incredibly reasonable.

Highly, highly recommend!

Highly Recommend Catering By Robert!

From the very beginning of planning stages, Catering by Robert was incredible. Susan answered all of my questions throughout the planning process and leading up to our reception. Not only is the food delicious, the staff are incredibly friendly and efficient, and the all-inclusive nature of Catering by Robert makes the entire process so much easier and more enjoyable. Thank you to Susan, her day of coordinator who is just as amazing, and the entire staff for helping us put on an unforgettable reception that our guests absolutely loved. The food was excellent and we got rave reviews from so many guests, in particular the baron of beef and the paella. Highly recommend for any wedding or event!!

We HIGHLY recommend Catering by Robert!

Catering by Robert was amazing from our very first consultation and tasting. Susan immediately demonstrated her years of event planning and coordination experience. While the food was delicious, it was Susan’s knowledge and reassurance that truly sealed the deal. My now-husband and I knew we would book with Catering by Robert before we even made it back to the car after that meetin; we felt confident we were in great hands and could trust the team with all of our catering and coordination needs.

Susan was communicative throughout the entire planning process and always available to answer our many questions. She was very familiar with our venue, The Poynter Institute, which helped us make seamless decisions about décor, setup, and the timeline. She kept detailed notes and shared a cohesive design plan that clearly laid out all of our final decisions. Catering by Robert also provided linens, china, flatware, and many décor items which made designing our tables much easier than needing to purchase or rent everything ourselves!

On the day of our wedding, everything was taken care of. Maryn, the Day-of Coordinator, ensured the event ran smoothly, kept us on schedule, and made sure all of our requests were handled. The team took care of communication with our other the venue and our other vendors. One of our favorite touches was the private moment Maryn arranged for us with champagne and appetizers when we arrived from the church.

Our guests raved about the food, especially the massive pan of Shrimp Creole. The food tasted great and the tables looked beautiful. The reception went even better than we expected, and we were able to relax and enjoy the day without needing to manage anything ourselves. We highly recommend this vendor!

Catering by the BEST!

After my first time meeting Susan, I knew I would be writing a five-star review. Now that the wedding has come and gone, I am grateful to have the opportunity to tell the masses how much of a gem this company is. My experience working with Catering by Robert was flawless. If you are looking for a caterer who goes above and beyond, this is the right pick. Every single individual, from Susan to Maryn to the other wonderful staff members, was delightful to work with. Maryn made sure I did not have to lift a finger! I have heard from my wedding guests how wonderful the staff was to them and that the food was delicious. I could not have picked a better catering company to help us on our big day.
Susan was very helpful in the months leading up to the event, offering valuable advice and recommendations. She was considerate to what I wanted and helped make my vision a reality. Her staff delivered with the precision that you would expect from a five-star restaurant. It is important that I felt supported as the bride, but Catering by Robert did not stop there. I have not spoken to a single guest that had anything less than an absolutely stellar experience at the event. This company was a one-stop-shop when it came to event staff, food, decorations, and table settings. There were so many components of wedding planning that I did not consider, but Catering by Robert had them covered.
At the end of the day, I know I picked “the one.” Both my husband on our wedding day, and a company to make my event magical. Thank you Susan, Maryn, and everyone on the Catering by Robert staff. Your hard work did not go unnoticed, and I look forward to telling anyone interested about the fantastic experience I had working alongside Catering by Robert. If you are reading this review and are on the fence, reach out to Susan. Make your event the best it can be by hiring this incredible company to make your day special.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

The Time of Our Lives Band The Time of Our Lives Band Wedding Bands

Tonight our Jazz Trio (The Time of Our Lives Band) played at an Open House for Brides event that was produced by Catering By Robert. We were set up on the landing of the stairway, so we had a bird's eye view of everything that was going on, both inside the house; and we could also see everything going on outside through the huge french door windows. Susan at Catering by Robert had everything well organized and the place was hopping with vendors when we arrived. She knew where everyone was supposed to be and what they were supposed to be doing. It was amazing to watch. Exactly 30 minutes before the doors were to open, she did a final walkthrough of the house and thanks to her management skills, everything was ready! We were able to actually rest for a couple of moments before the brides came through the door! Even though we were the musicians for the evening, we were given a break and invited to go through the buffet ourselves. Wow, the food was absolutely amazing! My husband and I are vegan but our bassist and drummer are not - and we all had full plates! The mixed rice pilaf was to die for. The apple cobbler stuffing was amazing. But the mixed greens/walnuts/raspberries salad and the raspberry vinagrette dressing was the best salad I had ever experienced. I could have just fallen into the bowl with my mouth open! I ate two helpings! We took a tour of the house before we played our last set, and Susan's eye for detail could be seen everywhere. I just can't imagine having anyone else but Catering by Robert handle my next event. Susan's reputation preceeds her, and it is absolutely justified. She's fantastic and Robert's food is amazing!
