Unique Experience

OMG. What can say ? Our wedding was on 07-22-2023 and the experience we had with Unique Event was just Unique. During the whole process Jose was very professional, he took the time to help me choose the perfect Menu . We didn't get the chance to meet him In person but he sent Victor to replace him and OMG what a presentation and Service, Victor and the team was absolutely Amazing. For the food DELICIOUS is not even enough to say everyone was talking about how good the food was . This was a first class Service . Don't hesitate to contact Unique Events and Catering so your special event can be Unique. I wish I could give 10 stars. Thank you Unique Events & Catering .

Best caterer ever!

HOLY WOW! Jose and his company catered our wedding a couple of weeks ago in New Smyrna. We were absolutely blown away by the quality, his attentiveness, the total flexibility and eager attitude to make our wedding meal as delicious as possible. He said yes to every request and went truly above and beyond. We have not stopped getting compliments regarding the taste, presentation and variety of our buffet. Jose has such a kinda heart and an incredible passion for what he does. There is no one better to call for your wedding or other special event. Everyone told us the music & the food would make or break our wedding, and with Jose we know it was a hit! Thank you so much Jose & team. We were blown away :)

Unforgettable food experience

My Wedding was on 03/18/2023, and what can I say, the process from start to finish was easy and simple. Great menu to choose from and if not in the menu it can be requested. It has been over 2 weeks and my family and friends are still talking about the staff and the food, from the salads made with fresh greens, fresh fruit, and a custom fresh dressing. For the main course, we choose buffet style with a Chef to carve the meat. and wow beautifully displayed the flavors and freshness of the food. And the best touch was that the Owner and Chef himself came to greet me. The servers were on point friendly, courteous great communication, and super attentive. I wish I had some photos to add to this review waiting on my photographer soon and I can edit. I would definitely recommend and would use the services again. Thank you so much.
