The food was wonderful, the staff amazing, and the evening exactly what I had hoped for!
Everyone commented not only how good the food was, but how beautiful everything was set and how wonderful the staff was. They paid attention to all details, and provided full service, all items needed, and even did an amazing job cleaning up. The staff was great and Michael and Lidia were wonderful and flexible to work with in preparation for the event.
I would certainly recommend them and use them again next time I need catering.
Will highly recommend you guys, and I thank you for a great party.

Absolutely in love with Tastebuds Catering! They catered our wedding in May 2016 at Vizcaya in Miami, Fl, and everything was phenomenal! From the moment they hosted us for a tasting, we were nothing but impressed with their level of professionalism, and the taste and quality of the food. Their attention to detail and creativity helped them create dishes that absolutely WOW'ed us and our guests! Everyone was talking about how great the food was, which was a VERY big deal for us! The bar service was phenomenal - the bartenders remembered some of the favorite drinks of our guests which made for quite the personalized experience. We had an ice luge brought in, and Tastebuds went above and beyond in helping us create the perfect recipe with the exact measurements for our signature shot - which was a huge hit!
As the bride and groom, we were blown away as to how attentive they were with us - ensuring we had appetizers, dinner, our favorite cocktails, etc. They even sent us home with food!
I would highly recommend Tastebuds! The entire team was so easy to work with and we had an incredible experience!

Tastebuds is the best caterer by far that we spoke with about our wedding day dreams! The tasting was so much fun and Mike and his team took great care of us. The planning services that came with our wedding package made everything so easy for us to finally have everything we wanted within our budget.

Debbie and I got married in paradise on March 28, 2015. It was the most magical and beautiful wedding of all time! Just ask our family and friends!! We had used Tastebuds before, for my 50th birthday party in 2009, so when we started planning the wedding, we went to them first. We had waited a long time to be able to get married so everything had to be perfect! In the beginning we did not have a venue, we just knew there would be 120 people, had to have butler passed hors d’oeuvres and a buffet dinner. We did the passed hors d’oeuvres at my birthday and they were great! I called Rachel and we set up an appointment. Rachel’s son Michael is the event coordinator so we met with both of them to figure out what to do and where to do it! We found our paradise venue, The Bamboo Gallery, on Tastebuds’ website. Let the menu planning begin! Now, Tastebuds has really evolved over the last six (6) years and with the addition of Deanna, the menu has become even bigger and better! Everything was magnificent! We had seven (7) different passed hors d’oeuvres, Chicken Rumaki, Stuffed Tostones Shooters, Coconut Shrimp, Thai Chicken Satay, Caramelized Pear Crostini with Gorgonzola, Seared Ahi Tuna and my absolute favorite Grilled Cheese and Tomato Bisque Shooter!!! All of them were just incredible! The buffet was elegantly displayed in two (2) locations with all of our choices, including the prime rib carving stations. We had an open bar tended to by Tastebuds and everyone was well taken care of from the signature drink to the specialty cocktail!! Thank you to Deanna for making the presentation spectacular and a big thank you to Michael for having the perfect staff available to attend to our every need!! The service was impeccable, professional and a pleasure to have at our wedding. Our wedding was THE most amazing day and it would not have been as perfect without Tastebuds!! We love you guys!!! See you at our next celebration!! Lisa & Debbie
