Out of the Ball Park

Our guests GUSHED over the food at our wedding. The presentation was stunning and the stations accommodated all our guests without creating long lines or tables waiting forever to be called. Common Plea helped us create a varied menu and were open to adapting to our needs. The extremely polite and efficient staff made it all seem effortless.

We were extremely happy with the food & beverages served at our wedding. The passed appetizers were delicious, our favorite was the cozy shrimp. For entrees, we selected the salmon and the beef, served with an Asiago gratin potato plank and broccolini. Everything was cooked perfectly, and we received many compliments from our guests.

Stacy & Amanda were wonderful to work with, and went out of their way to accommodate some creative requests we had. They were professional, responsive and super helpful throughout the process.

The only drawback was the pricing - it's expensive vs. industry standards, and they charge an exorbitant fee if you want to offer a choice in entree for your plated meals.

We are huge foodies, and wanted fun and delicious foods to be incorporated into our wedding. We could not be happier with how wonderful the food was at our reception. We had compliments from the apps to the presentation of the cookie table (very important to my family). I worked with Stacy who was excellent!!! Our favorites were the charcuterie station, shrimp appetizer, and the taco bar. People thought they were awesome, and thought it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding! We had a few guests that work as chefs and manage restaurants, and they were blown away. We could not be happier!
