    The best wedding food ever!!

    We had them cater our wedding, and everyone kept telling us after how it was the best wedding food they have had! It was all so good! We did a lot of appetizers too and everything just was awesome. We did a tasting with them before the wedding too which was perfect! All of their food tasted so good, and looked awesome! The way they present it is just beautiful too. I am so thankful we used them!!

    A must have!!

    Avenue Foods was the perfect choice for our wedding! With 160+ guests, the number one compliment we got was how great our food was and how no one had ever had such great food at a wedding! I highly recommend for any event or wedding! Cissa was amazing to work with from start to finish!

    Amazing food and service!

    Avenue Foods was the perfect caterer for our wedding!! I was extremely picky with our catering and Avenue Foods and Cissa blew me away. They offered us great options to try out their food, and I felt like they could have many anything we wanted and it would have been delicious. Avenue Foods is extremely professional and easy to work with, and they worked with our budget. They also made a point to pack up any leftovers we had so we could take them home, and had a special plate prepared for us during our dinner so we didn't have to wait for food. They have incredible service and I'm so glad we hired them for our wedding! (Photos by Abbey Dillard)

    I literally have no complaints! Everything tasted amazing, looked amazing, and all my guests said it was the best food they'd had at a wedding! Couldn't have been happier!

    The best wedding meal

    I cannot tell you how many people came up to tell us we had the BEST food they have ever had at a wedding. They were incredibly flexible and easy to work with. Sat down with us to accommodate our family members during the meal planning process. The only downfall I could say is sometimes they were a little slow to respond but they are clearly very popular and always got back to my emails. 10/10 would hire again (secretly cannot wait to have another event to have them cater for us again). THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU GUYS DID FOR US

    Avenue Foods Catering's reply:

    Thank you so much for your review..it was a fabulous wedding and we enjoyed working with you. Sorry if we were slow in getting back with you at times- I try to respond as quickly as possible. Good luck with everything! Cissa

    We had the most amazing tasting with Avenue Foods, and booked them right away. They made the whole process very easy! They went above and beyond for us, especially for our cocktail hour. Our guests RAVED about our food, long after the wedding!

    Cissa and the ladies at Avenue Foods are absolutely the most talented caterers around! My parents hired them for my sister’s wedding in 2011 and we had such a great experience with them that we knew as soon as I got engaged that we had to hire them again for my 2015 wedding. Avenue Foods does not disappoint! They absolutely know what they’re doing and have an amazing staff. Cissa was extremely helpful throughout the planning process and helped us put together the perfect menu for a very reasonable price. She made suggestions based on other foods we had picked out and made sure we had a wide variety of options for our guests. Avenue Foods arrived at our venue a day early to set up all the tables and chairs. We had an outdoor ceremony with the reception in a nearby barn, utilizing both the outdoor patio and the indoor space for two bars, numerous food tables, and the cake table. When a storm was approaching during the ceremony, the staff quickly and flawlessly reset the reception area to reflect our rain plan and the set-up was still perfect. And of course, the food was DELICIOUS!! So many people came up to us during and after the wedding to compliment how good the food was. The presentation was spectacular and the service was unsurpassed. We had passed hors d'oeuvres and food stations instead of a seated dinner to allow for a more social/cocktail atmosphere, and it worked out perfectly. The whole team worked hard all night and they never missed a beat! We even had a quesadilla station come out later in the night and it was a huge hit! We highly recommend Avenue Foods for any event, you will not regret it and your guests will never stop complimenting you!

    Amazing wedding food!

    Everyone raved about the food at my daughter's wedding. That's the best compliment you can have. Many times wedding food is just that...wedding food. But this was beyond expectations! Thank you Cissa, Carrie and Laurie!

    Food was fantastic. Presentation was truly noteworthy. We've gotten a dozen calls from guests just wanting to say how good the food was. Staff is so thorough and professional and easy to work with. Provided wonderful suggestions.

    I would like to start by saying that Cissa and the team at Avenue Foods truly added the perfect touch to my wedding day. My now husband, his parents and myself had a food tasting at Avenue Foods back in the fall of 2015, and decided immediately after that we wanted Avenue Foods to cater our wedding (April 29, 2017). Cissa was always available to talk and answer any questions I had throughout the planning process, and she went the extra mile to send menu examples. After a year and a half planning, we had finally composed our dream menu. She had expressed concerns with the menu items we desired since our wedding venue had limited oven power, but Cissa was determined to make our wish a reality. She even made sure to include Philadelphia cheesesteak egg rolls, an item my husband loves.

    The day of our wedding she exceeded our expectations with the exceptional organization, the beautiful presentation of each dish, as well as the overall professional atmosphere provided by the Avenue Foods team. We cannot thank you enough for the talent, skill and care you provide to your brides. I would recommend Avenue Foods to anyone looking for delicious food and a smooth and professional planning process.

    Yummm!!! The food that Avenue Foods puts together is delicious!!! Also, the process of planning the menu was very smooth with these ladies. They really know the best pairings, and they are great at listening to the type of event you want and creating a menu that best fits.

    I don't even know where to begin to describe how wonderful Avenue Foods was and how great their food is. We had light food for our wedding and everyone raved about it. They provided us with a fabulous tasting, treated us like valued customers and were very helpful throughout the entire process. My only complaint is that they were occasionally difficult to get a hold of on the phone, but email was a better form of communication for them I guess. I definitely plan to use them again. Thanks, Cissa!

    Avenue Foods is a great catering company. The food was top-of-the-line, and the presentation was professional and appealing. We received so many compliments on the salmon and pork loin entrees. The staff took care of all of the details. What a relief to me! The price per person is a little expensive, but well worth it for the flawless results.
