Top notch catering vendor. Extremely impressed and pleased.
They beautifully executed our event at the James Ward Mansion. Everything from their catering staff's etiquette, support, and food was truly top notch.
Starting from their office staff and management, Tom Tavalaro and Pam Tavalaro are a superb team to work with. Extremely responsive, easy to work with, organized, and know all the right questions to ask and ways to accommodate the couples they work with.
For the day of the event: Jaci was such an amazing Maitre-d that stood by us throughout the night. She quickly integrated in with our other vendors and worked really well with our entertainment group, our DJ and Emcee, and even our families to help coordinate our activities throughout the evening. The staff team throughout the evening were all so helpful and seemed genuinely eager to make it a great night for us.
Their head chef at the event did an amazing job and we are not exaggerating when we share that we received extensive glowing reviews on the food from all the guests at our wedding.
This was one vendor we partnered with which we highly recommend and are extremely pleased to have made part of our special day.
Not only do they deliver as promised, but they are also great, genuine and comforting people to work with.
A Perfect Celebration
Stacey was a fantastic bartender who kept things moving, and Maurice and Rob were both an absolute pleasure to work with. All of the food Rob put out was not only delicious but also beautifully plated. The setup was equally special, with detailed décor that truly elevated the event. What an A+ team!
All of our guests raved about the food and the service. We will definitely be using your catering services again. Thank you for helping make the celebration so special!
What an incredible team!
But the cherry on top of working with T&L was our maitre d', Jaci. This woman is an absolute queen. She walked in and assisted us with final decor set up so we could focus more on getting ready. She would update us with photos and ask any questions to help capture our vision. She also helped to keep us on a schedule without being pushy and, most importantly, she made SURE we were able to have time to enjoy the entrees at our own wedding (which I've heard is a rare occurrence).
From day 1, T&L knew what we wanted with our wedding and made sure to make it happen. They were integral in helping us to have a perfect wedding day and I can't sing their praises enough. Thank you!!
Simply the BEST!
