Thank you so much Deliciously Different!

Robin, Taylor & the entire Deliciously Different Team completely elevated our wedding with their incredible food, amazing drinks, and stellar professional service! Our guests haven't stopped talking about how awesome everything was! We loved having the unique family style dinner service and they executed it all so perfectly! Robin worked creatively with us to build a personalized menu and seamlessly incorporated our wedding theme with edible wildflowers! She was always fun to talk to and very flexible and accommodating with any special requests! We could tell how passionate she and her team are and how much pride they put into their work. We truly felt how much they care about all of the couples they work with! Thank you so much Deliciously Different!

If you splurge on one vendor, let it be this caterer!!!!

I cannot say enough good things about Robin, Taylor, and the entire Deliciously Different team. We used them as our caterer for our wedding on 10/1/21 and they were an absolute dream. I’m vegan and they went out of their way to create the most delicious menu, offering a large variety of options for me. The food was INCREDIBLE. The vegan entree ended up being the favorite dish among our guests. So many people came up to me during the wedding to rave about the food. We were also lucky enough to have the bar car (cutest thing ever) and the drinks were amazing. The level of service this team provided is unmatched. They were constantly making sure I had a drink in my hand and food to eat while taking pictures.

Leading up the wedding Robin and Taylor were professional and helpful every step of the way. Wedding planning is stressful and I had a lot of big ideas about what I wanted. Robin was great at leveling my expectations in a kind, but honest, way. When we attended a group tasting before the wedding Robin made up an entirely separate vegan menu for me. I was beyond grateful. I am constantly made to feel silly for the lifestyle I’ve chosen when it comes to food and Robin consistently went out of her way to make me feel inclusive and to provide me with equally as delicious food as the meat-eaters.

Choosing vendors for your wedding is really difficult. You will not go wrong with Deliciously Different as your caterer. They are worth every single dollar. I honestly might throw a party just so I can hire them again. 10/10.

Wonderful experience

We were a COVID couple and navigating wedding planning during a pandemic was NOT easy. Deliciously different (although they are a business and were going through their own difficulties navigating the pandemic) were very flexible, communicative and willing to work with us throughout all the ups and downs. The food is delicious and worth every penny. The attention to detail speaks for itself and doesn't go unnoticed. Not to mention, the staff and Robin herself are personable, approachable and professional. We really appreciate working with Deliciously Different!

Incredibly professional, responsive and knowledgeable!

My wedding venue owners recommended that I connect with Robin at Deliciously Different when my now-husband and I encountered major issues with our original caterer two months before our event. Robin was incredibly professional, responsive and knowledgeable about all things catering. During our many consultative phone calls, I felt at ease with Robin due to her patience and transparency, which was sorely lacking with our original caterer. It was evident that she wanted the best for us even if that meant she wouldn’t receive business from us in the end. Ultimately we decided to go with a different caterer, but we were so appreciative of Robin's guidance along the way!

Lifesavers!!

We can’t even thank Robin and Mark enough for making our day perfect. We went through a tough situation with our original caterer and were forced to switch. Robin and Mark originally had vacation planned for our wedding weekend, but were so kind to put their vacation aside and help us out on such a last minute thing, like seriously who does that?!?!

Let me just say, we wish we originally booked with Deliciously Different ( if we had known of them we would have ) !!! Robin is so kind and down to earth and truly makes you feel like you are part of her family. They are truly accommodating and work with you to make a menu you want and within your budget.

On our actual wedding day, they also brought us so many surprises!!! Adding additional craft beer to our beer list ( my husband was ecstatic as she added his favorite beer at no additional cost ), making an amazing Sangria that guests absolutely loved , they added some additional appetizers and the Dinner was AMAZING! Our guests loved the variety of options and couldn’t stop talking about how good everything was, especially those specialty Moscow mules and margaritas.

Robin and Mark are both fantastic and our wedding day would not have been the same without them! We can not recommend Deliciously Different enough to cater whatever event you need!

Everything you need in a weddingggg

Working with Robin was the absolute best. Her and her team are the most professional team I’ve ever seen. Almost a month later and everything is still talking about the food and drinks.
Not to mention everything she helped us with apart for the catering. We have nothing but amazing things to say about deliciously different. Thank you thank you! For making our day so perfect.

Fantastic!

From start to finish, Robin is phenomenal. The tasting knocked our socks off, the bar car is beautiful, we cannot recommend Deliciously Different highly enough! Looking forward to finding more events down the line as an excuse to work together.

No one goes hungry...

We knew we had to have Robin as our caterer the minute we saw her menu. Her food style matched ours. Her food presentation showed she takes great pride of her craft. The family style food presentation was a game changer!! Everyone was able to eat, maximizing visit time with no standing in buffet lines. The bar car was a hit with our guests. Comments of the delicious blackberry margaritas and lavender water never ended at brunch the next day. And most of all she set up a snack table for me and my bridal party as we waited for the ceremony to begin. It was the most special surprise on a busy day most brides go hungry. We are thrilled we changed our initial wedding date to accommodate her availability :)

Beyond our expectations!

My Husband and I were married on August 11, 2018! I can’t describe what a pleasure it was working with Robin! She was so organized and really helped me with the whole process! From picking my menu to my place settings, we could not have done it without her. The food was outstanding to the point people are still raving about it. Her staff was professional and so helpful the day of. Her prices are reasonable and she is overall a wonderful person and really takes price in what she does! Do not hesistate to book deliciously different for any of your events! You will not be sorry! :)

Robin was responsive, professional & enthusiastic from the time I contacted her through the close of our event. She & Loretta put on a beautiful brunch for my cousins day after the wedding in Bolton landing NY. The weather was horrible-an ice storm-and they arrived early. Amazing job & everyone loved I.T!!
