We LOVED Paramount Events!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Paramount Events for our wedding, and we couldn't be more thrilled with our experience! The food is outstanding. Selecting the meal line-up was difficult because each option was so delicious that it was genuinely hard to choose which ones to include on our special day. On the day itself, our guests couldn't stop raving about the food, with many telling us it was the best wedding meal they've ever had.

The Paramount team was an absolute joy to work with. They made the entire process fun and stress-free, ensuring everything went smoothly. On the day of the wedding, the servers were incredibly professional and added a wonderful touch to our celebration. They were kind and talkative. A special highlight was when the chef personally came out to introduce the meal. It was a lovely gesture that made the experience even more memorable.

We highly recommend Paramount to anyone looking for outstanding food and service for their wedding!

The Perfect Wedding Day

The Paramount Events team elevated our wedding from good to great! Every front-of-house staff member was professional and attentive. All of the food came out exactly like it did at the tasting. All of our guests were raving about the food all night, from the hors d'oeuvres to the late night!

The hors d'oeuvres were passed to all guests, the soup came out hot, the entrees were restaurant quality, the sweets and late night were a hit! You could taste the freshness in all the dishes and the presentation was beautiful. I also loved that the leftover food was donated to a local shelter and any additional food scraps were composted, what a great initiative to be more sustainable!

Rachel and Caroline on the sales team were so easy to work with. They were very responsive and flexible when I needed to make changes. They ensured all the vendors worked together to bring the wedding vision to life!

The attention to detail was apparent from every staff member, and they were proud of their work (as they should be!). It was evident that Paramount has a great culture and a fantastic team that loves what they do.

BEST wedding food we could’ve dreamt of!

We selected Paramount to cater our wedding and we could not have been happier! Rachel and team were so responsive and helpful in answering our questions, and from our tasting to our wedding day, everything was flawless! Our wedding is going on two months ago and to this day, we and our guests still think about and rave about the food! Paramount is friendly, professional, thoughtful, and their food can’t be beat!! Perfect caterer for a wedding or other special event! Thank you, Rachel and Peramount!!
