Hannah Sent on 06/09/2026Amazing food!
Susan and the team at Catering by Roberts were absolutely incredible! Susan was so much more than just our caterer—she was an invaluable resource throughout our entire wedding planning process. She took the time to answer questions, guide us through decisions, and even recommended other vendors, which made planning so much less stressful.
One thing we especially appreciated was being able to attend tastings before finalizing our menu. It was incredibly helpful and gave us confidence that we were choosing the perfect options for our wedding. The variety of food available was amazing, and everything we selected was absolutely delicious.
We received countless compliments from our guests about the food all night long. Many people told us it was some of the best wedding food they had ever had! The quality, presentation, and flavor exceeded our expectations.
We are so grateful to Susan and her team for their hard work, professionalism, and support throughout the entire process. They played a huge role in making our wedding day so special, and we cannot recommend Catering by Roberts highly enough! -

Hire these guys
EXCEPTIONAL! No need to look any further for your catering needs. ⭐️
We hired Catering by Robert / Event Concepts for our 85-person wedding at a private home, and they exceeded every expectation. Multiple guests, including those who work in food & beverage and events, raved about both the team and the food.
The staff worked efficiently, thoughtfully, and professionally, and even seemed to genuinely enjoy what they were doing. There’s a wonderful mom-and-pop feel to the company—warm, personal, and attentive—paired with truly high-quality, professional service.
We were impressed by the wide range of menu options and chose a Caribbean-inspired menu, which was a huge hit. The paella “action station” was a standout. Freshly cooked on-site in a massive wok, absolutely delicious, and a beautiful, photogenic centerpiece.
We also used their bar service, which allowed us to supply our own alcohol while they provided everything else: bartender, cups, garnishes, ice, and mixers. It made the process so easy.
Susan, the owner, was incredible—attentive, patient, personable, communicative, creative, and genuinely kind. She went above and beyond, even providing linens, table décor, and napkins (including the perfect orange accent we wanted!) at no additional cost. She met with us at the venue beforehand and held an in-person design meeting to help bring everything together.
The complimentary group tasting was another highlight. It gave us the chance to try menu items and meet their fantastic team ahead of time.
The cherry on top is that the pricing for everything they provided was incredibly reasonable.
Highly, highly recommend! -

Chris Sent on 03/18/2026Highly Recommend Catering By Robert!
From the very beginning of planning stages, Catering by Robert was incredible. Susan answered all of my questions throughout the planning process and leading up to our reception. Not only is the food delicious, the staff are incredibly friendly and efficient, and the all-inclusive nature of Catering by Robert makes the entire process so much easier and more enjoyable. Thank you to Susan, her day of coordinator who is just as amazing, and the entire staff for helping us put on an unforgettable reception that our guests absolutely loved. The food was excellent and we got rave reviews from so many guests, in particular the baron of beef and the paella. Highly recommend for any wedding or event!! -

We HIGHLY recommend Catering by Robert!
Catering by Robert was amazing from our very first consultation and tasting. Susan immediately demonstrated her years of event planning and coordination experience. While the food was delicious, it was Susan’s knowledge and reassurance that truly sealed the deal. My now-husband and I knew we would book with Catering by Robert before we even made it back to the car after that meetin; we felt confident we were in great hands and could trust the team with all of our catering and coordination needs.
Susan was communicative throughout the entire planning process and always available to answer our many questions. She was very familiar with our venue, The Poynter Institute, which helped us make seamless decisions about décor, setup, and the timeline. She kept detailed notes and shared a cohesive design plan that clearly laid out all of our final decisions. Catering by Robert also provided linens, china, flatware, and many décor items which made designing our tables much easier than needing to purchase or rent everything ourselves!
On the day of our wedding, everything was taken care of. Maryn, the Day-of Coordinator, ensured the event ran smoothly, kept us on schedule, and made sure all of our requests were handled. The team took care of communication with our other the venue and our other vendors. One of our favorite touches was the private moment Maryn arranged for us with champagne and appetizers when we arrived from the church.
Our guests raved about the food, especially the massive pan of Shrimp Creole. The food tasted great and the tables looked beautiful. The reception went even better than we expected, and we were able to relax and enjoy the day without needing to manage anything ourselves. We highly recommend this vendor!

After my first time meeting Susan, I knew I would be writing a five-star review. Now that the wedding has come and gone, I am grateful to have the opportunity to tell the masses how much of a gem this company is. My experience working with Catering by Robert was flawless. If you are looking for a caterer who goes above and beyond, this is the right pick. Every single individual, from Susan to Maryn to the other wonderful staff members, was delightful to work with. Maryn made sure I did not have to lift a finger! I have heard from my wedding guests how wonderful the staff was to them and that the food was delicious. I could not have picked a better catering company to help us on our big day.
Susan was very helpful in the months leading up to the event, offering valuable advice and recommendations. She was considerate to what I wanted and helped make my vision a reality. Her staff delivered with the precision that you would expect from a five-star restaurant. It is important that I felt supported as the bride, but Catering by Robert did not stop there. I have not spoken to a single guest that had anything less than an absolutely stellar experience at the event. This company was a one-stop-shop when it came to event staff, food, decorations, and table settings. There were so many components of wedding planning that I did not consider, but Catering by Robert had them covered.
At the end of the day, I know I picked “the one.” Both my husband on our wedding day, and a company to make my event magical. Thank you Susan, Maryn, and everyone on the Catering by Robert staff. Your hard work did not go unnoticed, and I look forward to telling anyone interested about the fantastic experience I had working alongside Catering by Robert. If you are reading this review and are on the fence, reach out to Susan. Make your event the best it can be by hiring this incredible company to make your day special.

Stefanie Sent on 11/24/2025If you're looking for catering and event coordination all-in-one, look no further!
Susan, Marin, and the the rest of the Catering By Robert team were absolutely incredible! For months prior to our wedding, Susan made sure that everything was planned out accordingly and all the last minute details were taken care of. She answered all of my questions and the communication was always super quick. Marin made sure the day of the wedding that all my and my husband's needs were met and all of the setup/breakdown was taken care of so that we didn't have to focus on anything except each other and having fun. The food was delicious, and many guests even let me know afterwards how much they enjoyed it. I truly don't think our wedding would have been as amazing as it was without Catering By Robert. Highly recommend!!! -

Catering by Robert was absolutely incredible for our wedding! The food was wonderful, and we’re still getting compliments from our guests about how delicious everything was. Their banquet team was outstanding! They were attentive, friendly, and truly on top of every detail. One of the things we loved most is that they include so much: linens, charger plates, a beautiful array of centerpieces, etc. Everything came together so seamlessly. Susan and her team are amazing, and their day-of coordination service took an enormous amount of pressure off me and my husband. We were able to fully enjoy our day knowing everything was in expert hands.
Maryn was also an absolute joy to work with. She made sure every detail matched exactly what we envisioned, and the end result was nothing short of perfect. We received so many compliments about how smooth everything went and how attentive the staff was. We truly couldn’t be happier with Catering by Robert. Highly, highly recommend! -

Olivia Sent on 11/16/2025Exceptional Catering, Planning, and Decor for Our Wedding
We used Catering by Robert for our wedding, and working with Susan and her team was truly one of the best decisions we made. From the very beginning, Susan went above and beyond. Because her menu is so extensive, she hosts tastings every other month for all her booked couples—and for the past 2½ years, we attended them and were consistently blown away. It made choosing our menu so much easier, and on the wedding day our guests could not stop raving about the food. The jambalaya was especially a huge hit!
Throughout the planning process, Susan spent countless hours with us in design meetings, helping us bring the vision for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception spaces to life. She also communicated with our other vendors, which took a huge weight off my shoulders. She was always just a text away whenever I needed her, and I had complete confidence that we were in great hands.
On the day of the wedding, Maryn was incredible. She made sure every detail was set exactly the way I wanted, coordinated everything behind the scenes seamlessly, and even helped my daughter bustle my dress before the reception—something I’ll always be grateful for. The spaces looked absolutely stunning, and the entire day flowed perfectly thanks to her.
We also hired Catering by Robert for bartending services, which were offered at a very reasonable price. The bartenders were professional, efficient, and kept everything running smoothly at the bar. If you book them for your wedding, I highly recommend adding on the bartending services—it made the entire experience even better.
If you're looking for a caterer, decorator, and planner who genuinely cares about your day, delivers phenomenal food, and creates beautiful spaces while keeping everything running smoothly, I cannot recommend Susan and Catering by Robert enough. They helped make our wedding everything we dreamed of and more. -

Dana Sent on 10/13/2025Best wedding caterer and coordinator - all in one!
Catering by Robert exceeded our expectations by a long shot! All of our guests raved about the food (the paella was the biggest hit)! The service they provided was top notch, our guests complimented how attentive the staff was and on top of everyone’s needs/questions. We had the buffet and it was run seamlessly. The food was hot and they gave big portions of all the food options, which people enjoyed! To be honest, it was the best wedding we’ve been to (and we are not just saying that because it was our own wedding). They decorated our venue and truly made it look like a scene out of Bridgerton (which was my theme). They put out all of my decorations for the tables and set it up beautifully! They provided all the linens and china/glassware, and utensils. They add personal touches to many of our tables to accentuate our theme. If you are looking for a caterer that also does day of event planning, look NO further! We had the best experience all around - we HIGHLY recommend Catering by Robert for everyone’s wedding! -

Susan and her team, especially Maryn, were a massive reason for the success of our wedding day! From the moment we chose Catering By Robert we were immediately welcomed into the family. The group tastings they offer were a huge help in helping to decide on our final menu. We received multiple compliments on how delicious the food was! The fact that linens, glassware, centrepieces, and more were included in the pricing was such a weight off my shoulders when it came to wedding planning. They also provided amazing bar services for a reasonable fee. The bar staff kept the lines short and guests happy with how attentive they were! Susan was quick to respond to any questions we had and provided solutions to any obstacles we ran into. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caterer for their event! -

Joshua Sent on 01/28/2025A perfect choice for a caterer!! The BEST
Catering by Robert/ Event Concepts is a fantastic choice to make for both a caterer and wedding/event planner. Very very highly recommend this company. Susan and her staff are great, they took our dream wedding vision and made it a reality for us!
Not only did Susan assist with planning throughout the entire time prior to our wedding, including a menu tasting and a design. consultation, she made our actual wedding day a dream come true! Susan was able to take all of our visions and make it come together beautifully and flawlessly. The decor was perfect and the food was delicious. Our guests raved about the presentation and the taste of the food. Susan and her team also cleaned up, packed up and put away all of left overs. I definitely recommend Catering by Robert, they are professional and know what they’re doing, they will make your dreams come true!
Susan’s team absolutely NAILED what we asked for and exceeded every expectation. Susan quickly and professionally replied to any and all communication from me and always put me at ease. She asked all the right questions so she could be sure to give us exactly what we wanted; She gave advice and offered solutions to problems that we didn't even know we had. On the day of our wedding, Susan assigned an amazing young woman to be my "assistant" for literally any and everything I could ask for. The food was so incredible! I have guests asking me for the catering company’s contact info for future events.
A bonus that Susan offers is we were able to get all table linens, cloth napkins, plates, etc. and A TON of decor from them just made everything that much easier when it came to coordinating the whole event, especially on the big day. Every single person on her team that we encountered seemed so nice and professional and happy to be helping our event run smoothly. I'm so grateful that we were able to have this company for our wedding, thank you all soooo much!!! Our wedding kicked butt because of all your hard work. -

Kyle Sent on 08/22/2024The best value in the Tampa Bay area- helped us plan a wedding all the way from Sweden!
When my fiance and I began our journey as an engaged couple, we realized we didn't know a thing about planning a wedding. We live in Sweden and wanted to have our ceremony in my hometown of Clearwater, Florida- which was a lot of planning to do from across the pond. Susan at Catering By Robert not only went above and beyond to understand exactly what we wanted to do, but worked tirelessly to ensure that we would get our perfect day within the budget that we wanted.
That's not even including the food, decoration, and coordination- all of which were absolutely stellar. I'm genuinely not sure what we would have done without them- and my (now) husband and I both agree that our wedding may well have been the best day of our lives. Everything was perfect.
We are also continuously hearing after the fact how well-coordinated everything was, in addition to how amazing the food turned out to be. If you're a couple looking for the all-in-one complete package for your wedding, we cannot recommend Catering By Robert enough. They are truly next level for the value that you get. -

From the start Catering by Robert has been the best. They truly made my wedding day spectacular. They have several tastings that you can attend which helps you figure out what you want for your wedding. They are truly a on stop shop from food, decorations to the day of coordinating. Susan is such a phenomenal women and she staff is fantastic. They deserve a 10/10 you will not be disappointed with the service you will get from Susan and he staff. Thank you so much for making my wedding day AMAZING!

Diana Sent on 12/19/2023Best in the Business!
Susan and her team were amazing! I started working with Susan in 2018 planning my daughter’s wedding. Covid cancelled the 2020 wedding, so let’s fast forward to October 2023! Five years working with Susan and her team! What can I say about Susan, from the beginning she made me feel like part of her family and she will always be part of our family. That means a lot when you connect with your vendors. When I met Susan, we clicked, and I knew she was the one to cater and help me plan my daughter’s wedding.
Susan was there for me to get through the Covid nightmare and finish planning the 2023 wedding. Which was beautiful and elegant. When Covid hit the March 2020, the wedding was cancelled just about 2 weeks before the wedding date. Susan was there to help guide me with all the vendors and rescheduling. Susan went above and beyond to make my daughter’s day so perfect. She was always there for me for whatever I needed or had any questions and all the way from the numerous emails/pictures I would send, to all the planning and food tastings, which we loved and enjoyed. The food tasting helped us pick the food for the wedding. I love how customizable and creative Susan provided to us.
The Catering was the most important thing for us at my daughter’s wedding and they blew it out of the park. They did not forget any detail which was very important to me. Too setting up on the wedding day to her team having the appetizers and cocktails waiting for Alex and Isiah and the wedding party after the ceremony & they also had their food plated (we had a buffet style) for them at dinner which made it incredibly easy for them to eat before they mingled with the guests. I wanted to be with my daughter getting ready on her special day, and Susan and her team did everything! Setting up all the tables and chairs to setting up all the centerpieces. They even packed up everything, we did not have to do one thing, everything was very well organized. Picking Susan was one of the best decisions I made, she even recommended other vendors for us. I highly recommend Susan from Catering by Robert. You would not regret working with her and her team. I could go on and on but truly thank you for everything, Susan. You are the best in the business!

Susan and the rest of the team at Catering by Robert are fantastic! Susan was with us every step of the way in the designing of the reception, and provided great input and recommendations. Everything turned out beautiful, and the food was delicious! We did a served buffet with the chicken marsala, Parma Rosa pasta, honey baked ham....and the star of the show, a giant dish of paella! At the end of the night, they packed up all our decorations and leftover food and put them in a spot close to the venue entrance, so all we had to do was put it in the car. Thank you all so much, everything was perfect! -

Alison Sent on 07/07/2023Perfect decision choosing them!
This combo-team of caterer/event planner/rentals supplier absolutely NAILED what I asked for! And then some!!! I honestly can't think of a single negative thing to say... and I can be a bit of a harsh critic. Susan quickly replied to (and resolved) any and all communication from me, and from anyone else on my behalf. She asked excellent questions so she could be sure to give me exactly what I wanted; and her questions clearly demonstrated her many years of experience and expertise. She gave advice and offered solutions to problems that I didn't even know I had. She made sure that I was on top of things that needed to be done within a certain timeframe. On the day of my wedding, I sincerely felt like a queen. No exaggeration. She assigned a particular young woman to be my "assistant" for literally any and everything I could ask for, and then she also offered me things I didn't even know I wanted; all done within moments. (I REALLY wish I could remember her name to give her proper credit for truly making me feel like royalty!) The food was just incredible! I STILL have guests begging me for recipes from our wedding! The calypso meatballs - NOT TO BE MISSED! And the home-made vodka sauce... just mouth-watering!! EVERYTHING tasted WONDERFUL! And I am EXTREMELY picky... The fact that I was able to get my tables, chairs, plates, etc. and A TON of decor from them just made everything that much easier when it came to coordinating the whole event, especially on the big day. I KNOW for sure that I had to be a complete pain to work with; I was totally clueless every step of the way, I procrastinated everything because I'm also an indecisive control-freak... The list goes on and on... I can't imagine having my wedding done by anyone else! Every time I thought that Susan and her team were perfect, she'd go and do something else to surpass my hopes and expectations again! Every single person on her team that I encountered seemed so genuine and warm and happy to be helping our event run smoothly. They all felt like extended family! I'm so grateful that I was able to have this company for my wedding, thank you all soooo much!!! Words aren't enough! -

Amanda Sent on 05/04/2023This company was great and made planning stress free!
This catering company was fantastic! The food was incredible! This company offers a day of coordinator, linens, and centerpieces included in their dinner prices. We went with a buffet style dinner, which was fast and efficient. We also used their bar service in which we provide the alcohol and they provide the mixers and bar tenders. The drinks were made really well and not too strong! We were able to have several meetings with Susan, who is so sweet and truly knows what she is doing. The staff was great and they also set up all the decorations we brought, as well as cleaned up. They even packed up all of the leftover food we had and sent it home with us. Overall, a great company with great prices that include so much, making it a stress free process!

I was the planner for a friend's wedding and I can honestly say that the catering was the easiest thing to handle by far thanks to Catering by Robert. Susan made sure to have regular, open communication and even met with me on site well in advance of wedding to ensure that everything would be laid out as planned. The food was delicious and plentiful and came at a great price point. Also, she and her staff did an absolutely phenomenal job during the event and were extremely professional and kind.

Catering by Robert is absolutely superb!!! Our daughters wedding reception was a huge success because of Susan and her team!!! We presented Susan with specific food challenges and she knocked it out of the park with Vegan and Gluten Free dishes!!! Some of our guests did not even realize some of the food was vegan (plant based proteins) and said how delicious it was. Susan’s team was impeccable. They were so kind and professional. Kept the food hot and I noticed when they served your food it was artfully placed on the plate…not just slopped on. I highly recommend Catering By Robert!!! -

We did some research before booking with Catering by Robert. At our first meeting with Susan, we knew she is great at what she does. We had a year to plan everything. Susan not only helped us with catering, but she helped me plan the whole wedding. Helped us choose other vendors, checked on me often, was very support and stress free. Whenever we needed something or had a question, she always was responsive and quick. She understood our vision and it turned out beautifully! The food was delicious, paella was amazing. Her team were professional and provided quality customer service.

Brittany Sent on 10/08/2020Susan is amazing!
Susan and her staff were so wonderful to work with! They had multiple tastings which offered a wide variety to choose from. The food was amazing I can’t say it enough. Everybody loved the beef empanadas we had in the pasta with the scallops and shrimp in it. Everybody kept raving about the food the whole night. Susan‘s daughter and husband were our bartenders and they were so fun to work with. Their Margaritas were a HUGE hit! Everybody had a great time. Susan also does decor options which was such a lifesaver to have a two in one vendor. She was willing to work with what we had followed what I had on Pinterest and really made our day is special and as beautiful as we could’ve hoped it would be. Susan was also very patient with us as we put our wedding on hold briefly to find out if we were going to have it or not during this pandemic. Her entire staff was flexible and was constantly working with us. I can’t say enough good things about Susan and her company. Thank you again so much for a wonderful wedding!! -

Catering by Robert was truly amazing and a godsend for my wedding. Susan worked with me to not only supply me with amazing food, but helped as my wedding decorator and day of coordinator, and didn't miss a beat! Her prices are very affordable and she works to get you the best prices and create a wedding that is exactly as you want and unique to only you. She has years of experience and thus advice that is as helpful as having a wedding planner! Her expertise allows your wedding day to run smoothly. We did not have any hiccups in our day, Susan and her staff were amazing, super friendly and very helpful! Her prices are very affordable and she is worth every penny, and more. And the best part is, you don't have to supply decorations or hire a decorator, she has them for you already and delivers them the day-of so you don't end up with useless wedding decor afterwards! It was the best choice I made to have a caterer who was also our decorator and day of coordinator. She also supplied the bartender to serve our guests the liquor we provided at a very affordable price, even supplied mixers and champagne glasses!! Not to mention our guests were raving about the food during and even after our wedding. I couldn't have asked for anything better. You and your staff are amazing Susan, thank you all so much! -

Abbey Sent on 05/13/2019We are so glad we picked them!
We can not begin to describe how amazing Susan and her team were not only on the day of our wedding but with the planning before hand. They made everything so very simple and easy the day of the wedding. Caitlin was an amazing coordinator and ensured we had everything we needed and kept us on schedule to ensure we didn't forget things. She was always checking in on my husband and I to ensure we didn't need anything. Including serving us our food because we were stuck talking with guests.
The meetings-
We enjoyed the food tastings we were able to attend in the short planning process for our wedding. It was a great way to try different things from their menu. The meetings we had with Susan were always productive and the last planning meeting was amazing. The day of the wedding was based on that meeting. Susan know what she is doing for sure.
Setup-
We literally dropped everything off in the morning and everything was done when we arrived to do first look. They even moved our ceremony chairs (rented) to our reception tables for us and moved flowers as well. They provided all of our table coverings and parts of the centerpieces and it was perfect.
The Food-
It was delicious and everyone was raving about the paella. Including us. It was so nice to be able to have the extra food to take home. We had a lot of family still in town and it came in handy. They cut and served our cake as well.
The Bar-
There was never a line and everyone was happy with the service. Very friendly and professional bartenders.
Vendor coordination-
Susan gave us amazing recommendations on a bakery for our cakes and videography and DJ. We could not have been happier. Everyone was were they needed to be and setup with no problem.
Breakdown-
They broke down all the tables and chairs and collected all of our stuff so it was very easy for my family to gather to leave. They also have worked with our venue before and knew what they needed to do to ensure we got our deposit back.
I will literally hire them for any event in the future when I need catering. Not just based on food, but for the relationship we built with her and her team. We are so glad we used them for our catering. They are more than a caterer. I had no idea what I wanted nor how to plan a wedding and she helped tremendously. The value of what we paid to what was included was huge. We cannot thank them enough for making our day so rememberable.
Thank you and much love always,
Abbey and Jimmy -

YUMMY Yum Yum, Catering by Robert did an outstanding job catering our wedding not only was the food delicious, but Susan was a joy to work with. I have never been to a wedding that everyone was complimenting the food so much, the leftovers were just as delicious as the first night we ate. The planning process was a breeze , we had meetings with Susan and she was always so quick to respond to any questions, the great thing about Catering by Robert is that they have wonderful get togethers to sample food items and to go over your tablescapes. The day of was flawless and Susan’s team and coordinators made our wedding day function without a hitch. We couldn’t have picked a better team to handle our food, bar tending and day of coordination.

Ellen Sent on 12/02/2018Thank you Catering by Robert!
I cannot say enough about how much I love this team! They handled so many aspects of our big day and made it that much more enjoyable for us. Susan is always available leading up to the event and is so flexible with our ideas. We wanted to create a casual taco bar for our wedding reception. Not only was she open to our idea, but Susan and Bob ran with it and added their own flare to make it better than we imagined. Her experience in this field was so valuable to us when planning our wedding...she had so many great ideas that made everything so much more memorable. The staff the day of our wedding was amazing and made our dream a reality, from the table settings to the send off, they kept everything (and everyone) organized and elegant. The food was amazing and we still received compliments weeks after about the spread. People loved it! The staff was not only helpful, but warm and really seemed to enjoy what they do. Book this caterer, you will not be disappointed! Thank you to Susan, Bob, and their. incredible team!!

Kate Sent on 09/03/2018Working with the Catering by Robert team will be the best decision you make wedding planning! Seriously! Planning our wedding from afar, I contacted several caterers to find the right one. After my first phone consult with Susan I felt an immediate sense of relief and joy knowing I found the perfect company to help us on our big day. They are much more than catering; they handle any planning aspects you need - they coordinate rentals and vendors, help with décor, do all set up and clean up, you name it and they'll do it! Coordinating with Susan was so easy because she was always so responsive and willing to work with our ideas. Their expertise in the field helped our planning process go much smoother than we could have ever imagined! On the day of, they took care of EVERYTHING! The staff was incredibly interactive and helpful to all of our guests. Not to mention that the food was OUT OF THIS WORLD! We had a delicious variety of different cultures and tastes to honor the different cultures our families come from. They even worked around any dietary restrictions our guests had and made sure they were well taken care of. We would use Catering by Robert again - for any type of event - without a question! We HIGHLY recommend them to any couple planning a wedding in the Tampa/St. Pete area. THEY WERE INCREDIBLE!

Lucy Sent on 07/12/2018Where to begin! Susan and her staff are responsible for making our wedding day seamless, dreamy, and magical. From the moment we first talked to Susan nearly a year before our wedding, we knew we had found someone who truly cared about creating an amazing experience for us, and who had a ton of experience and knowledge in doing so. From the first phone call she was so warm and excited to help us. The wonderful thing about Catering by Robert is that they are not just a catering company, they have a hand in helping coordinate your entire event - all at a very fair and reasonable price. In the months leading up to our wedding, we talked to Susan numerous times with questions about planning/execution, while also seeking her advice on vendors, colors, traditions, and much more. There was not one time where she wasn't eager to help us. We felt as if we had a guiding mentor to walk us through the sometimes chaotic wedding planning process.
The day of our wedding went better than I could have EVER imagined - and we really attribute this success to Susan and the Catering by Robert Staff. Our guests could not stop talking about how professeinal, kind, and accomadating the entire staff was. Susan and her team completely set up and decorated our ceremony and reception areas - and it was breathtakingly beautiful. We planned for a modern Hawaiian beachy wedding, and they couldn't have captured the tropical feel any better. The staff, and particularly Rita, treated me and my now husband as if we were royalty - constantly making sure we were okay.
The food was an absolute HIT! With a family full of foodies - I wanted the meal to be fantastic, and it blew away my expectations. I still have family and friends telling me how delicious the food was, and that they were all going back for seconds!
Overall, Susan and her team went above and beyond to give us our dream wedding, and we are forever grateful! -

Abbey Sent on 07/11/2018Susan and her team were wonderful! We reached out to Catering by Robert at the same time that we booked our venue, Tampa Bay Watch, so we would be certain to be able to work with them! Their all inclusive approach made planning and hosting our wedding much easier, especially since Tampa Bay Watch is a "blank canvas" venue. Susan was always quick to respond to my (many) e-mails and helped us design both our decor and menu. We used elements of their in-house centerpieces and decor items as well as some of our own personal finds. Susan was able to recommend excellent vendors and get us table runners at cost! She and her team worked seamlessly with our other vendors and our wedding pros. As a bonus, we were able to go to quite a few tastings and really sample all the offerings -- the food was always delicious, as it was on wedding day. -

Courtney Sent on 10/20/2016Catering by Robert was by far the best choice my husband and I made for our wedding. They are truly AMAZING! Susan is such a wonderful person to work with. Our wedding was on 10/08/16. We booked Susan on 02/14/15 so we had alot of time to spend getting to know her and tasting all the wonderful food! They have client open houses that you are exclusively invited to once you book with her. You get to try all the food, so when it comes time to pick your menu-you know exactly what you are getting! Catering by Robert is way more than just a catering company. Not only do they provide delicious food but they also help decorate all the guest tables, buffets, & any other tables you need for your big day. They really do go above and beyond to make sure your event is a huge success! My sweetheart table and cake table were so BEAUTIFUL! When I walked into my venue and saw how everything looked, it literally took my breath away and made me cry because it was SO amazing! The staff was also SO helpful, they got us drinks when we needed them, they brought my husband and I plates from the buffet so we didn't need to get up! We were treated like royalty! Our friends and family could not stop raving about all the delicious food! I has so many different people approach me during the wedding just to tell me that the food was the best they have ever had at a wedding! That made me so happy, because food is a very important part of your wedding day! The seafood paella is the BEST dish, and it is HUGE! It was so fun everyone was amazed by it! My husband and I are very blessed to have found Catering by Robert. Our wedding was absolutely perfect and they were a huge part in making that a success. We HIGHLY recommend Catering by Robert for your wedding or next major event. We promise you won’t be disappointed! -

Catherine Sent on 04/03/2015My husband and I can not say enough good things about Catering by Robert. From the first time we met Susan we loved her. She always greets you with a smile and a hug. Susan and her staff make you feel like part of the family. I was a very stressed out busy bride but Susan always was able to calm me and assured me everything would be okay.. On our wedding day everything was more than okay. It was amazing.!
Our venue we chose was a beautiful outdoor setting but needed a lot of imagination and also a lot of decor. Catering by Robert has a lot of Basic Inclusions that other caterers charge extra . Susan also recommended some other awesome vendors we used for our wedding. We were able to save time and money with Catering by Robert. And by choosing vendors they recommended and who have worked together in the past made things a lot easier.
As far as Catering by Roberts food, it was delicious. All of our guest can not stop talking about it. This was exactly what we wanted. When your guest talk about your wedding your food is one of the top things they will remember. We can honestly say that if we would have NOT hired Susan & her staff our day would have not been as amazing as it was.
