Book them!!!

We used Tasteful Occasions for our caterer and coordination for our wedding at Bluestone. Everything from start to finish with them was top notch. They laid out all the information that they needed from us up front so we weren’t bombarded at the end to meet the deadlines. They were great with communication about everything. Day of- everything was what we dreamed it would be. We got so many compliments on the food and desserts. HUGE shoutout to our coordinator Crystal- she was a huge help from start to finish throughout the planning process and the day of. She made sure everything was running smoothly and everything was perfect. We highly recommend using them for your caterer and coordinating needs. Thank you guys for everything!

Great service

Tasteful Occasions was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. We were on a budget, paying for the wedding on our own and they were extremely helpful in moving around and rearranging our food and services to not only fit within our price range, but also get us the most bang for our buck. They were on time, organized, worked around our needs the day of the wedding despite the craziness of the day, and the food was great

Above and beyond for our daughter’s wedding.

We could not have asked for a better catering experience for our daughter’s wedding. From the very beginning, the team was professional, organized, and incredibly attentive to every detail. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but knowing the catering was in such capable hands gave us complete peace of mind.

On the day of the wedding, everything ran seamlessly. The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, and received so many compliments from our guests. The staff was friendly, polished, and attentive—anticipating needs before we even had to ask. They truly went above and beyond to make sure not only the couple, but the entire family and all the guests were well taken care of.

What stood out most was the genuine care and pride they took in their work. They treated our daughter’s wedding as if it were their own, and that meant the world to us as parents. We are beyond grateful and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional catering and service.

Couldn’t have asked for a better catering company

I would highly recommend Tasteful Occasions to anyone looking for incredible food, great prices and amazing staff. Everyone has been raving about how the food at our wedding was some of the best food they’ve had at a wedding. They seemed to have many budget friendly options as well and you seriously can’t beat the quality. We also used Crystal as our day of coordinator and she was fantastic through the whole planning process and the day of. She kept us on track with planning and was more than helpful whenever we had questions or needed help. Our wedding day wouldn’t have went so smoothly without her! Highly, highly recommend this company and the wonderful people who work for Tasteful Occasions

Overjoyed beyond belief!

I was super nervous when it came to catering. I have a now husband who’s a huge foodie, many food critiques in the family, and myself I’m a picky eater with a sensitive stomach. From just the tasting Kim & Crystal eased me nerves! The food was amazing! Day of our lovely manager was next to us with what we needed before we did. We were able to actually enjoy dinner in peace which was their idea. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the appetizers! I was overjoyed and full that night and still smiling months later about the amazing service.

Delicious wedding food

We hired Tasteful Occasions as our wedding caterer and cannot recommend them enough. From the initial call, we knew we were in great hands. We went through their (very large) menu and found our favorite foods to build our wedding menu. They quickly put everything together to give us a proposal. At our tasting, they had everything on our menu prepared for us to try and it was all DELICIOUS! Throughout wedding planning they have a google doc to fill out with lots of details in order to keep your wedding day running smoothly- I loved this!! On our wedding day, we had drinks at the ceremony for our guests (which was included and so thoughtful), butlered apps, a large charcuterie board of apps, and our main course was a dual plate of chicken and steak with veggies and potatoes. Our guests loved the meal! They also made sure our drinks were full all night! We literally felt so catered to! Loved everything about working with them!
