We knew from the tasting we wanted to book Lina. Honestly this is one aspect I’m looking forward to the most. She’s a wonderful professional and very accommodating. Did I mention how amazing her food is. Definitely would recommend her to anyone who will listen 👂🏿 -

Our wedding is next year, but working with Lina has been great thus far. The tasting we did with her was amazing and can't wait for the big day. -

I-C Sent on 07/02/2018Lina and her staff are WONDERFUL! First, Lina was the first vendor that we secured for our wedding. She readily sent a full menu to me (I was out of state) and never questioned what I wanted. Her menu was extensive, and I noticed that it contained all the items I thought I wanted. Our guest list shrunk, drastically, and she didn't say a word. From November 2017 thru May 2018, Lina was a source of reassurance and stability. No small feat when planning a large event, esp. a wedding.
Some of the food we had were lamb (VERY small upcharge), vegetarian curry chicken tofu (EVERYONE loved it), escovitch salmon, rice & peas (red beans), Caribbean Paella, soup shots (another big hit), smoked salmon deviled eggs. We opted not to get desserts because we were having two cakes.
Now, about Lina and her staff's presence. They were dressed in catering attire and only presented when serving food. The staff were visible when they were exiting behind a sheer curtain and were seen bouncing to the music. My guests got a hoot out of that (I only saw it on video). We had a problem with another vendor at the start of the reception and my family told me that Lina helped resolve it, starting by providing the missing information. Lina, also, swooped in and helped remove the first slice of cake. My husband was trying to flag someone down to help (I cut a large slice, oops), Lina appeared at my side, we exchanged a few words and POOF! I had a large slice of cake and the staff scurried off with the rest.
I would post a picture of Lina or her staff that day but they were the only vendors who we don't have tons of photos of. I'd have to post the video of her helping me with the cake to demonstrate how magical the Caribbean Pearl team was. Special Note: Lina sent us home with ALL the unserved food. A special tray was just for my husband and me. The rest of the food went with my family. Very honorable!
-She's my, hands down, FAVORITE wedding vendor. HUGS!

User2188112 Sent on 06/19/2015Omg, Caribbean Pearl is hands down the best catering company. I highly recommend Caribbean Pearl to everyone! I used the catering company for my wedding and thank goodness I did. They have a large menu selection and the price point is very reasonable. They were prompt professional and very friendly. I received so many compliments and all my guests were very happy. One guest commented that it's as if they were transported to a posh restaurant in a beautiful resort on the islands. I will continue to use them for any future events that I may hold.

User2211881 Sent on 07/06/2015Caribbean Pearl is 5 stars all the way! Lina catered our wedding in May 2014, best decision ever and I couldn't have been happier. I would happily hire Lina over and over again. I found her to be very responsive and attentive to all my questions and needs. She offered great suggestions on things I could do, which was not only helpful but the kind of personal touches my friends are still talking about. It was like having a new BFF for my wedding (LOL). "My day" was made perfect, the wedding party brunch baskets (nice touch - which I wouldn't have thought of) really kept us going all day long.. The staff was extremely professional, flexible, and pleasant.
Cocktail hour with the different (exotic food) stations and passed hors d'oeuvre were amazing! I've never had bread fruit and codfish balls with avocado mousse, before Lina I didn't even know that was a thing, never heard of it but it was amazing nonetheless. The list goes on and on of new amazing foods introduced. I can only describe it as 'Caribbean/soul food' served in an array that was extremely elegant. Dinner was incredible and every entree was amazing! I'm still receiving compliments for the food and how wonderful my caterer was. My husband and I were a lot more into having a great time then eating during dinner and Lina and her staff took note and sent us home with food to be sure we weren't hungry during the evening (how sweet). We secretly savored an assortment of desserts passed that were so creatively put together... I can go on and on about the food from our special day all and all I would recommend if you are looking to have your guest happily speechless over wonderful service and food, go with Lina she'll make sure you and your guest are happy!
I've already referred several friends and family, in April of this year we used her for my neice's 30 birthday bash, it was a blast from the not so distant past for some and well appreciated by all. Caribbean Pearl, definitely money well spent.

My dream day
For some reason I thought I could put a wedding together in 1 month, thank God I was working with true professionals that was up to the task. Lina was gracious enough to book us very short notice and Mandy her site person was absolutely amazing. The cocktail hour went off without a hitch everything was so well presented and beautiful our guest were all amazed. For the bar we had 3 signature cocktail's which were amazing! The bartender was really out of this world great! Then came the dinner, we had an informal buffet style dinner and my guest ate all night. our wedding took place in July and I'm still getting phone calls praising the whole evening. My only issue was that I was unable to bring rum to add to my bar. Although we weren't able to bring our own rum our guest didn't miss a thing. -
