Amazing from beginning to end!

Tessa is fabulous and her presentation is outstanding! She provided a grazing table, preset salads and dessert table for our daughter's wedding of 130 people. Tessa responds immediately and answers all questions, gives suggestions and pictures. Within a couple days Tessa sent us a video of her presentation from the wedding which was such a nice touch. The grazing table is amazing!! I highly recommend Tessa and will definitely use Simply Sated again!

Amazing, amazing, amazing!!!

Everything about my experience was amazing, Chef Tessa was very quick to respond to me during the months leading up to my wedding. Was very helpful in the process of deciding what food I was choosing and how much as well! The food was phenomenal, we got the lasagna and roast beef and I highly recommend these, every single guest LOVED it and lots of people got seconds. We had a seated meal and the waiters were amazing as well, they all came to check on us several times, refilling drinks, bringing more food and were so friendly. Would totally recommend to book her and would book again for any other event!

Tessa is the best

We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Tessa and her team! From the very beginning of the planning process, she was incredibly professional, responsive, and an absolute pleasure to work with. She really listened to what we wanted and guided us with so much care and attention to detail.

On the day of the wedding, everything went perfectly. The food was beyond delicious our guests are still talking about it and the presentation was beautiful. Tessa’s team was organized, on time, and handled everything so smoothly, which made the day feel stress-free for us.

Everything exceeded our expectations, and we’re so thankful to have had Tessa as our caterer. Highly recommend her to any couple looking for amazing food and top-notch service!

Five-Star Service

The catering at the wedding I attended on Sunday was absolutely top-tier! The chicken and salmon were incredibly juicy, the mashed potatoes were delicious, and every dish was packed with flavor. The service from the servers and staff was professional and attentive, making the entire experience even better. Everything was truly bussin — a memorable meal for a beautiful day!

Adaptable to circumstances

We had planned to have stationary appetizers in chafing dishes but the strong wind that day made that impossible for our outdoor wedding so Tessa team quickly adapted to do passed appetizers on trays instead. Quick fix!

Connecting with Chef Tessa felt like a huge relief!! She was responsive, patient and kind, highly professional, and calming throughout the entire process—from researching, to planning, to providing fantastic food and service for our rehearsal dinner. Her team was prompt, courteous, friendly and professional. The food was displayed beautifully, with generous portions, and it was delicious! And the price was right!

I recommend Chef Tessa without hesitation for any catering needs!!

The Khatib Wedding

Simply Sated by Tessa was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding on February 1, 2025! From the moment we connected, Tessa displayed the utmost professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail. But beyond that, the food—oh, the food!—was nothing short of spectacular.

Every dish was beautifully presented, expertly prepared, and bursting with flavor. Our guests are still raving about how incredible everything tasted, from the BBQ brisket, roasted chicken to the macaroni and cheese everything was delicious. The service was flawless—her staff was attentive, friendly, and kept everything running seamlessly.

Tessa went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding reception was a culinary experience to remember. She exceeded every expectation, and I cannot recommend Simply Sated enough for anyone looking for exceptional catering. If you want your event to be unforgettable, Tessa is the one to call!
