Delicious Food and Exceptional Service

Chris and the Steamers team are just incredible! We had eaten at steamers many times over the years and we didn’t really consider any other caterer for our wedding because we knew their food is delicious and their service is great. We met with Chris many several times over the 1-2 years before our wedding. The complimentary tasting is very helpful as we sat down with Chris and went over not only the whole menu but also logistical aspects. It is apparent that Chris has been in the wedding catering business for a good while as he had many tips and pieces of advice for the layout/flow of eating considering our venue and guest count. As an added reassurance, they only book one wedding/weekend so they will have your undivided attention that weekend! Throughout the planning process he was responsive and extremely accommodating and flexible. With Chris’s help, we decided to do buffet style as that would work best with our guest count. He knew how many buffets we should have for the # of guests which helped so much with the flow. They brought my husband and I a full plate of food so that we did not have to serve ourselves. The food was DELICIOUS!!!

To summarize, Steamers exceeded every expectation we had. Thank you Chris!!!

Chris and his staff are definitely leaders in the Outer Banks Catering industry!

From the initial client tasting, Chef Chris and Catering Manager, Yani, took time to welcome the couple and mother of the bride with a formally introduction and thanked them for choosing Steamers to caterer their wedding day reception. The client tasting was delicious, and their presentation gave the client a glimpse of the service they would receive on the day of their event. Upon conclusion of the tasting, Chef Chris and Yani took the time to stop by and receive the couple’s feedback and expectation of their event. Chris and Yani were wonderful; very responsive and thorough, answering any questions that arose and attended to details throughout the planning process even accommodating last-minute vegan requests. With 20+ years in the business as event planners, we can say with complete confidence “Steamers is a true full-service catering company”. From the moment they arrived onsite at Whalehead historic property, they were flawless in their execution. Steamer’s entire staff day-of worked hard and greeted everyone with a smile. We all worked together as one event team to ensure a beautiful successful event for the client and their guests. The buffet service and guest lines moved quickly; they kept the food hot and delicious while maintaining the cleanliness of the buffet area. Tables were cleared throughout the night and they worked alongside our planning team to keep the reception space beautiful and refreshed. My Director of Events- Victoria, myself and my entire planning team entire appreciate the courtesy and professionalism of Chris, Yani and his staff, and we look forward to referring many future clients to their exceptional catering services!

Amazing food from Amazing people!

Chris and the team at Steamers made planning our wedding menu so easy! They were extremely flexible with our menu selections and everyone raved about how delicious the food was at our wedding. We enjoyed working with Chris so much that we booked Steamers for our rehearsal dinner as well and they were able to create an entirely different menu from our wedding menu which was great! I would HIGHLY recommend Steamers for your next event, or even for a nice romantic dinner while you’re in the Outer Banks. Not only is the food fantastic but all of the staff are so incredibly nice and personable as well !
