Best wedding food ever!!

amazing starting from the initial meeting and delivered exactly what we were asking for, and were SO accommodating with us being up in DC during the planning and COVID. They worked extremely hard to get us fresh grouper like we had planned after a last minute issue with grouper fishing. I had so many of our guests come up to me during and after the wedding and say how impressed they were with the quality of the food (my mom said it was one of the best meals she'd ever had, and she is not one to throw around compliments!) and the professionalism of the staff. The staff were extremely good about wearing masks and hand hygiene. The servers made sure to keep my husband and I fed and with a glass of water (and champagne) at all times, and the bartender was also excellent. Tastebuds was one of the major highlights of the wedding and you definitely can't go wrong with them. I highly recommend you book them and you won't be sorry :)

Over the top amazing. Can I give 10 stars?

Tastebuds isn't your standard caterer. They're exceptional in every way. If you want to have a unique, custom, perfect to the last crumb catering experience - this is your team. Their staff is a well-oiled machine and every moment of your planning experience will prove it. Then come time for your event you can rest assured that what you and your guests will have presented to them will actually have them saying, "WOW".

Hands down the best in Southwest Florida!

We honestly can't say enough about how amazing it was to work with Chef Greg, Sam and the whole Tastebuds team! From the first brainstorming meeting to the actual wedding day they were helpful and dedicated to providing the best possible service and food. They were organized and easy to work with. They made our dream wedding meal come true! We are major foodies and opted to do stations from cultures around the world. Each item was simply the best. Chef Greg took the time to work with us on pairing each item to a beer from our Brewery. They took all of our likes and suggestions and crafted something so wonderful. Our guest loved the unique menu and still talk about it to this day. We are so happy to have found Tastebuds and will hopefully work with them again in the future!

Rustic Outdoor Wedding

The food was FANTASTIC! The presentation was amazing and everyone had nothing but great things to say that night. Leading up to it, they asked us what we want on our menu! We were able to be as creative as we wanted to be! I would highly recommend Tastebuds Custom Catering to anyone that is looking for a caterer for ANY event! You will not be disappointed!

The Food...WOW! Amazing!

Heather and her staff were absolutely wonderful and accommodating! They made our lives so much easier the day of our Fairwell Brunch. We had the taco cart and selected breakfast foods like sausage gravy and biscuits, frittata and bacon - YUM! The tacos, rice and beans were authentic, which meant a lot to me since half of my family is Mexican ;) Everyone LOVED IT! We were so impressed and happy with how everything turned out. I would hire Tastebuds again in a heartbeat!

We chose a more casual, BBQ buffet, but the level of professionalism and attention to detail were at the highest level. Delicious and beautifully presented. Highly recommended.

We had Greg and his team cater our rehearsal dinner, which was at a house my parents had rented. He was great/reliable communicating with me during the planning process (we did a destination wedding so relied on emails and a couple phone calls to plan). He was also willing to stop by the rental house to see how to set up and if we needed to rent any tables/chairs. We ended up putting in a last-minute order for tables, chairs, and linens, and he facilitated that with no problems. The day of we ended up changing the setup from outside to inside due to the heat, and they made it work. The food was delicious and we had some leftovers to share with everyone the day after the wedding. The setup was beautiful as well. Everyone LOVED it! Thank you Greg, Dean, and team!!!

The food was amazing and looked beautiful, everything they did was perfect, and Greg was such a nice guy. When I was nervously waiting to walk down the aisle, I saw him and he gave me two enthusiastic thumbs up and a big smile. The wedding was at our house and Greg came over twice to plan and make sure everything would go smoothly. I would definitely recommend Tastebuds.

Greg and his team are awesome. I knew from our tasting that food would be exquisite. Our wedding was held at a private home with about 40 people in attendance. Because we weren't a huge crowd, we went with the option of having a family style dinner with a number of different main dishes & sides.

First off the food at our tasting was insanely good. Before the tasting, I was not a fan of sea bass or mushrooms. Greg's sea bass was tender, tasty & did not have a hint of a fishy taste. He made a pasta that contained mushrooms, again so good & the mushrooms were excellent, he completely changed my view on mushrooms!

The day of our wedding, Greg & his crew got down to business quickly. He was also able to provide us with a bar tender which made life so much easier. All of my friends raved about the h'orderves when we got back from taking pictures. I was so happy that they brought me h'orderves after we finished pictures at the beach because I was starving; they even made it very clear that due to my allergy they were bringing items that were freshly prepared.

Dinner started with 3 main courses served family style & 2 sides. All 3 main courses were perfect, they tasted exactly as they did when we did the tasting with Greg; the sides were perfect too. I wanted to eat so much of each, but the wedding dress wouldn't allow it! :)

I found Greg and his staff to be extremely friendly, very humble and quite attentive. They were very social with our guests, I heard stories afterwards of the jokes that were made with the catering team.

We couldn't have asked for a better group of people to cater our wedding. I have absolutely no reservations about recommending Greg and his team to my friends.

If delicious food and awe inspiring food presentation are important to you, you need to hire Tastedbuds for your event! Chef Greg Shapiro knows exactly how to season, prepare and cook the most delectable and unique food. However, not only is the food so good that you'd better order extra, Chef Greg is an artist at food design. I've worked with him many, many times and the food displays that he comes up with are just awe inspiring! He must have a warehouse full of props with the creative ways he comes up with to showcase his food. He has a ton of repeat clients and lots of us as fellow vendors recommending him. You'll be thrilled if you hire Tastebuds to cater your next event!
