Great experience at our reception, everyone commented on the quality of the food!

Our guests were impressed with the quality of the food. Sylvester was in charge during the event and was wonderful. He was attentive to the needs of us the wedding couple and everyone else. We enjoyed the night because Sylvester and his crew were friendly, jovial and professional. We worried about nothing.

The Food Was Awesome

The staff especially Kim and Johnny are so nice and easy to work with and the food was amazing. They have so many options to choose from to make your wedding food not your typical wedding food. We got so many compliments on the food at our wedding. And they are very reasonable in price - we loved everything about them.

Couldn't Have Asked for a Better Catering Company to Work With!!

I worked with MBP Catering for my wedding two weeks ago, and they were the most professional, organized and kind team to work with! I got non-stop compliments on the food all night, people loved all of the cocktail hour and buffet options! Christina and her team finished doing all my decorating and made my vision come to life, they executed flawlessly on time and stayed to help cleanup at the end of the night! It was a blessing getting to work with such an organized team like Christina's as I had issues with my venue and they helped to rectify many of them. I couldn't recommend them anymore, honestly!! You won't be disappointed!

5 star experience!!

My husband and I are so lucky to have worked with the staff at MBP!! From the beginning, they were great and easy to communicate with and were excited to begin working together on our wedding. Our tasting went so smoothly, and the food was absolutely delicious! During the course of wedding planning, the staff member that we were previously working with left the company, and we were placed with a new staff member, Brandy. Brandy was great to work with and made the transition for us seamless. She had all of our information about the wedding from the previous employee, and it was like they didn't skip a beat! The wedding food was absolutely delicious, and we received so many compliments throughout the night! Would recommend this company 1000 times over!

Amazing Food and Service

Can't speak highly enough of this catering service. The food was outstanding and the staff, even though we had an outside venue and it was blisteringly hot, were pleasant and helpful. Would recommend 100%. I'm still hearing about how much everyone enjoyed the food. They handled everything, going above and beyond for us. Thanks, MBP!

Your team was incredible!

I met Mary Beth Poe a bit later in the planning process for my clients. We were roughly a month and half out from the date. MBP Catering stepped right in and helped get our passed hors de oeuvres cocktail reception organized effortlessly. We were at a non-traditional venue, but that didn't present any challenges for MBP. The staff was on time, the food was incredible, and the team was very polite and professional. It's not a matter of if or when...I plan to work with MBP Catering again!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
