    More than wedding food!

    We were blown away with 24 Blackbirds Catering for our July 2023 wedding. Guests told us our cocktail hour food was the best they have ever had and we had no shortage of entrees and options at our reception. The team is communicative and helped us build a menu that was especially designed for our event and carried it out flawlessly. They even supplied their own bartenders that kept the drinks flowing all night. We absolutely recommend them for your event!

    Recommend!

    24 blackbirds did a great job with both our rehearsal dinner and wedding catering! They were reasonably priced compared to other caterers we spoke with, and we have gotten several compliments on the food! Staff was also very kind and helpful.

    Wedding on 5/20/23

    Tara did the catering for our wedding and it was amazing! So many people have told me afterwards it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding and everyone lived the tacos! Tara was a pleasure to work with and very responsive. The catering were all friendly and did a great job as well!

    24 Blackbirds Has A Customer for Life.

    Very professional service from the planning until the packing away for the event. We received many compliments, during our rehearsal dinner, on the quality of the food. I would highly recommend 24 Blackbirds and would not hesitate to use them again.

    Outstanding

    Tara and her crew were fabulous. The food was delicious and the presentation was beautiful. Tara was easy to work with and had such good suggestions. Her crew was wondering as well! They even signed the wedding guest book and took Polaroid pics of themselves! I would use them again and again!!

    Excellent food, service, communication, and value!

    My daughter & now husband really enjoyed their tasting with Tara months prior to their wedding on 10.15.2022. Their choice was chicken pesto, Caesar salad, roasted vegetables which was excellent! The staff was personable and served the dinner on real dinnerware at no additional fee. They also nicely packed leftovers for the family to take home. Guests provided positive feedback which was great to hear. We'd have them cater for us again in the future! Linda (MOB)

    Flawless Experience

    Our experience with Tara and 24 Blackbirds was excellent - the food choices were abundant and so tasty! With so many other things happening - I loved that I didn't have to lift a finger on the day of our daughter's wedding - everything was flawless.

    DELICIOUS, was a hit at our wedding!

    For our wedding we did the Southern BBQ feast, and everyone raved about it! Tara was super accommodating, and helped us swap out items to make more options for vegetarians, etc. We also loved the hors d'oeuvres for the cocktail hour - especially the chicken and waffles and the mini cheeseburgers with the tiny pickles! Communication was great and prices are super reasonable. Absolutely recommend!

    24 Blackbirds Cafe and Market's reply:

    Thank you so much Frances!! We absolutely loved working with you and being part of your special day! Your wedding vision was incredible in every way! Thanks for the kind words and being such a pleasure to work with!

    Mother of the Bride: Highly Recommend

    Beautiful presentation and delicious food -- all at an incredibly affordable price. Tara and Makiyo provided numerous tasty options and answered (so!) many questions as we planned the wedding day menu. The staff was on-time and efficient at the big event -- totally stress free. The nearly 100 guests loved the appetizers and buffet dinner. 100% fresh. What a fabulous experience with 24 Blackbirds!

    Delicious and affordable

    Tara was extremely accommodating for our wedding. There was a lot of uncertainty because of the pandemic, but Tara was flexible and understanding of all our concerns. We had a couple guests that were vegetarian and one that was gluten free--Tara helped us decide on menu items everyone could eat. We ended up having the pesto penne with chicken on the side, ceasar salad, garlic mashed potatoes, and herb roasted vegetables as our main course. For appetizers, we had the chicken and waffle sliders, shrimp cocktail shooters, and a cheese display. Everything was delicious! Our guests loved the food. Tara's team wore masks and were very professional.

    Couldn't be happier with 24 Blackbirds!

    We used 24 Blackbirds for our wedding catering and that was one of the best decisions in our wedding planning process. First and foremost, the food was great. We had several of our guests go out of their way to compliment the food (we went with the marinated sliced flank steak, BBQ chicken, and added pesto penne pasta as a side and all three of those were delicious). Even our vegan guests said their special plates were great. The service from Tara and her team was also fabulous. Our previously scheduled bartender had to drop out the week of the wedding due to COVID, and Tara found the extra staff to add bartending services for our 100 guests on three-days notice, which was a lifesaver and helped alleviate our stress. 24 Blackbirds was one of the more affordable options during our search and I can't imagine a better value out there. I highly recommend them for your next event.

    24 Blackbirds catered our wedding and did nothing short of an amazing job! Tara was extremely helpful from start to finish and her communication was excellent. The staff were very friendly and professional. A lot of the wedding guests kept telling us how delicious the food was. Thank you Tara!

    The best wedding food!

    Tara and her catering company are amazing! The food was so good, she did the cutest tasting for us, and the day of she was nothing but professional! The spread/setup looked amazing and we had so many people rave about how good the food was. Not to mention she was VERY reasonably priced! Highly recommend her!

    Amazing and personal!

    Tara and her team were amazing to work with! We had a small "microwedding" with a brunch following. We needed to keep our menu vegetarian and kosher, and she was great with suggestions and accommodating any special requests. Everything was perfect, she was quick with communication, and our guests raved about the food. She also fixed our (bride and groom) plates for us without asking, and packed up the leftovers for us to take home, which was so sweet. Thank you so much!

    Unique variety to satisfy all taste buds for your special day!

    Choosing 24 Blackbirds Cafe was the best decision we could have made for our Wedding Day! Tara was so sweet, responsive and offered helpful suggestions! She truly was like working with an old family friend and made us comfortable every step of the way! The variety of choices available made putting together our dinner less stressful and we, along with our guests, were so pleased! I truly believe any combination of the appetizers, salads and entrees would go together! Tara took my pinterest inspired food presentation dreams and made them a reality--the signs, candles and greenery were the perfect touches! When she says you don't need a knife for the chicken, she's not kidding! For our cocktail hour we chose the Dip Trio and the Artisanal Cheese Display. Our dinner was well enjoyed and consisted of the Garden Salad with Ranch or Balsamic dressing, Herb Roasted Chicken, Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Herb Roasted Vegetables, and Dinner Rolls. Teas and Water were available as well as plates, silverware and serving staff. Very fair price for the quality provided! I would recommend 24 Blackbirds Cafe for many types of events ---breakfast, lunch or dinner-- I had the luxury of eating a delicious breakfast at work as well, with mini pancakes, bacon/sausage, eggs and grits! If you're looking for a caterer to provide quality service, care about cleanliness and proper food preparation, and leave you with a happy belly and a big smile, choose Tara and 24 Blackbirds Cafe!

    Fantastic!

    As a wedding venue, this team knocked it out of the park! We would place them at the top of vendor list with their professionalism, set up presentation and overall quality of service and food. Extremely easy to work with prior to the event and during. Their team can walk into a space, without seeing it before hand, and put together a catering display beyond your expectations. We highly recommend this catering vendor!

    Creative, Flexible, Affordable, Delicious!

    Tara was exceptional, VERY accommodating, and affordable! She had a lot to deal with: covid19 protocols AND gluten free vegan food. From initial consultation to the wedding day she wasn’t gracious, professional, and supportive in our overall plan. She helped come up with a unique menu that worked for us. Thank you, Tara!!!

    Flexible service and great food

    Tara was a champ through our months and months of questions, requests, delays, and changes. The magic of planning a COVID wedding from another time zone. Firstly, the food was DELICIOUS. Everyone, of all tastes and dietary needs, was satisfied. My sister has since asked me what the chicken was (it was Mediterranean chicken with mushrooms, capers, and artichoke lemon sauce) so she can try to replicate it herself. Tara was also extremely accommodating and easy to work with. Going from 150 to 25 guests, we had extra money in our initial deposit, so she concocted a brunch menu that was perfectly light but satisfying the morning of the wedding. In the early phases when we were picking out a caterer, she also let my cousin have a tasting at the cafe since we were out of state. Overall, I loved working with 24 Blackbirds and would pick them again.
