I was at a wedding that Fords Fluent N' Food catered. I was absolutely blown away by the husband and wife teamwork. They were so kind and professional and the food was AMAZING! When I get married I will definitely be hiring them.

The best decision you will make

If you are on the fence about hiring the Fords for your wedding, GET OFF THE FENCE AND BOOK THEM! You will regret it if you don't! How do you even begin to describe the absolute perfection they provided for my wedding? I already knew the food was going to be above amazing, but the communication, the prepping, the team, the professionalism, all of it was there. Almost everyone that attended my wedding made a comment about how delicious the food was! Especially the mac N Cheese bar. (And yeah, it's legit made on site and phenomenal!). Even my father-in-law, who runs a meat department, raved about how tender and perfectly cooked the sirloin was. Mema (my husband's grandmother), has called me 3 times in 3 weeks to tell me how amazing the food was at our wedding. I could go on and on about the "reviews" I received from everyone else and keep you reading for days. But seriously, John and Natasha are incredible to work with, and although I will NOT be having another wedding, I hope to have another big event just so I can hire them! WORTH EVERY PENNY.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Cannot say enough good things about Fords Fluent N' Food! Not only did I trust them with my own wedding, but I highly recommend them to all others seeking catering for any occasion! People are still raving about the food at my wedding (and rehearsal dinner) 4 months later! Their attention to detail, kindness, care, and concern are second to none! I have no doubt this power couple will continue to take the industry by storm!

Let me tell you a story - I didn't like sushi. I hated it. Wouldn't eat it - and was one of those people that always ordered the hibachi choice on the menu - but I worked one event with Fords Fluent N' Food where they served sushi and now I have a sushi date once a week. When I say these two should own a restaurant I'm not lying. Everything Chef John makes is mouthwatering and delicious. I always recommend them to my clients and love working events where they are there because I know I'm going to be fed and fed well. They are the best!
