Susan and her staff definitely made our wedding dreams come true. The table decorations were beautiful, the food was amazing and the service was outstanding. I will definitely use catering by Robert again and again.

Thank you Susan, you are the best at what you do.

The best value in the Tampa Bay area- helped us plan a wedding all the way from Sweden!

When my fiance and I began our journey as an engaged couple, we realized we didn't know a thing about planning a wedding. We live in Sweden and wanted to have our ceremony in my hometown of Clearwater, Florida- which was a lot of planning to do from across the pond. Susan at Catering By Robert not only went above and beyond to understand exactly what we wanted to do, but worked tirelessly to ensure that we would get our perfect day within the budget that we wanted.

That's not even including the food, decoration, and coordination- all of which were absolutely stellar. I'm genuinely not sure what we would have done without them- and my (now) husband and I both agree that our wedding may well have been the best day of our lives. Everything was perfect.

We are also continuously hearing after the fact how well-coordinated everything was, in addition to how amazing the food turned out to be. If you're a couple looking for the all-in-one complete package for your wedding, we cannot recommend Catering By Robert enough. They are truly next level for the value that you get.

Worked With Them From Out Of State To Help Our Big Day!

Catering By Robert handled our wedding, and while people raved about the food, I’d really like to call attention to the staff. They were beyond wonderful and friendly! And it wasn’t just Susan and Maryn, but every server, bartender, and staff member. We got compliments not just on the food, but their personalities as well. Beyond that, they provide so many different services in one easy, convenient package. We also planned this wedding almost 100% remotely from another state. Being able to work with them from so far away was a lifesaver!

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!
