Highly recommend

Beth was exceptionally kind, patient, and accommodating, offering valuable setup advice and support throughout the planning process. The day-of staff were professional and proactive, with standout service from Megan the bartender and the attentive servers. The food was also excellent and well-received by guests. Overall, the team was efficient, helpful, and made a strong positive impression.

Amazing Food!

Straight to the Plate was amazing! The food was absolutely delicious and surpassed our expectations. We had multiple guests comment that it was the best wedding food they have ever had. They also made a point to ensure that we actually ate, without them literally handing me appetizers and grabbing me for food, I probably would not have.

Beyond just the food, I would recommend Straight to the Plate to ANYONE for their professionalism as a company. I truly feel that they went above and beyond for me leading up to the wedding and day of, Beth even bustled my dress :) They were incredibly responsive for all questions / concerns leading up, most of the time within an hour. Additionally, we were planning during a new COVID spike so they were knowledgable about protocol and accommodating about any restrictions / requests that we or the venue had.

Having a vendor at your wedding that you know is not only going to serve amazing food but also be there to jump in whenever needed, follow the timeline, accommodate any sort of request is invaluable.

You will not go wrong if you hire them :)

Great food!

The food was absolutely amazing! It felt more upscale than normal 'wedding food'! Our guests even made comments to us about how good the dinner was. Sue & the entire staff were very professional & responsive. We couldn't ask for a better company to work with on our wedding day! We had asked that they save a hors d'oeuvres for us & not only did they do that, they delivered them out to us during our sunset pictures!!!

Good food and service

Straight to the Plate was great! The food was excellent - my family was talking about the pork for about a week afterwards. They were also very flexible with dietary restrictions and made me my own vegan plate!

Detail Oriented and Great Quality

Sue and her team were so lovely. We worked with them as out-of-staters and they made everything so easy. From coordinating a fabulous tasting, to prepping a late-night snack (poutine) that was just like the real Canadian thing - and also a first for them, to making everything taste so amazing and look so easy at the wedding itself. All of this was during a pandemic no less. Straight to the Plate had every precaution in place to keep us and our guests safe during the entire thing. We'd highly recommend!

Great Flexibility, Excellent Food!

Because of Covid we had to reschedule the wedding and completely change the menu for a different time of year and different venue, and Sue at Straight to the Plate was extremely flexible and helpful! Delicious food and great service. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

We loved working with Straight to the Plate! Their attention to detail and friendliness was amazing. The food was sooo good too! We always say we wish we could go their tacos regularly. We definitely recommend them!

5 stars for straight to the plate!

Sue and her crew are amazing! We had a post-wedding celebration in our backyard last weekend. Entertaining with all of the new guidelines is a little daunting, but Straight to the Plate didn’t miss a beat. We came up with an idea of stretching out the party over a longer period of time with smaller groups assigned to specific time slots. Sue and her chef were super flexible and figured out how to serve the food so it was delicious, hot, fresh and creatively presented. The servers were delightful. We highly recommend Straight to the Plate!

Wonderful!

Debra Mizrahi, Director, was my point of contact and she was absolutely wonderful and accommodating to the needs of my wedding. It was a small wedding and we didn’t need a whole lot, but beautifully passed hors d'oeuvres. I had specific requests of what I desired, not only for myself but for my guests and most of all my fiancé, and she made it happened! Thank you Debra and everyone at Straight to the Plate!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
