Amazing flavors & communication

Just WOW! Kasandra and the team were great! Her communication was prompt and detailed. She was very patient with questions. She left NOTHING out. I threw my bestie a baby shower with about 25 guests. Her husband makes the drinks and boy were they tasty. I recommend the tea, lemonade, and watermelon fresca drink stations for any event. The lemonade and tea were NOT like those overly sweet store brands in containers off the shelves. They were the perfect balance. The tea was unsweetened and yummy and sugar was provided in case folks wanted to sweeten it. The watermelon fresca was a hit! Cups were provided along with dessert plates and forks/spoons, little stirring spoons, and various sweetener options in small packets. The drinks are made fresh to order! She delivered the 3 drink stations with an ice bucket with tongs. She asked if I needed ice, but I provided my own. The caramel apple and strawberry cheesecake bites were divine. The flavors were splendid and so were the mini tiramisus. Hiring this company was definitely worth the value. They came back that night to pick up the drink station containers. I would hire them again. Thanks so much for making our special event so much more magical!

They are an absolute dream to work with!

Josh and Kasandra did a phenomenal job at our wedding. We had many caterers not want to come to our venue due to the remoteness of the location, but Josh and Kasandra said it was not an issue. Communication with them was quick and easy. The best part was the food was DELICIOUS! Our guests are still raving about how good it was. They were so sweet and took great care of us during the reception. I cannot recommend them enough!
