    Great catering

    We used this caterer for our wedding and very happy with everything they did for us. We chose to have bbq and the meats were delicious and melt in the mouth. Also loved their sauces, especially the cheerwine. The appetizers also good and they offer a wide variety to choose. Everyone seemed to enjoy the food that was served and had a lot leftover to enjoy the rest of the week. Definitely recommend a tasting if you are able to, so you have a better idea on what to serve. I think it helped us out a bit and you get to know the people that are in charge the day of. Very helpful and answered all of my questions and quick to respond. Such a great experience and glad we chose them to be a part of our wedding day.

    Guests raved about how good the food is!

    We hired Matthew and his Food Experience team to cater our daughter's wedding reception. From the initial tasting to the actual event, everything was wonderful! I can't say enough about how good all of the food was. Guests are still talking about it! Hurricane Ian decided to show up the weekend of the reception, but Matthew made some adjustments so that everyone would be served quickly and comfortably. You will not go wrong with Food Experience. Everything is delectable, the staff is super professional, and you will be guided throughout the process by Matthew and his team. It was a wonderful experience for all of us!

    Wedding at Cabin Ridge Hendersonville NC 6-24-22

    Matthew was absolutely wonderful to work with. He was always very quick to respond to questions or concerns. I knew from our first conversation that he was our caterer.
    Food Experience made my daughters wedding a dream come true. Their team was amazing and our guests were very complementary about the DELICIOUS food. We could not be more pleased with our experience with Food Experience. If you are looking for catering… look no further!!

    Food Experience's reply:

    Thank you Lisa! It was a beautiful and fun wedding and we were so happy we could be a part of the whole weekend!

    Everything and more

    Our guests are still talking about how wonderful the food was at our daughters wedding on October 30th at Sawyer Family Farmstead. Matthew and his team from Food Experience provided an amazing North Carolina menu and the service was impeccable

    Great food and service!

    We used My Food Experience for our wedding in Glenville, NC and loved them! We went to Asheville for a tasting and the team was so knowledgeable, accommodating and friendly. They listened to what we wanted and gave us their professional opinion when needed. The food was absolutely delicious. Our guests still rave about it!

    Top Notch Catering and Food!

    Matthew and the team at Food Experience nailed it with our extensive wedding menu! Every item was just as delectable as the last. They helped with customizing, giving suggestions, communicating, service was excellent, and EVERYONE had amazing feedback. I would recommend them to anyone looking for Five Star catering in the Asheville area!

    Creative and Professional!

    Food Experience is wonderful in every way! I worked with them to cater my son's rehearsal dinner May 3, 2019 in Asheville. From the very beginning, Matthew was patient and helpful with my questions as I planned this celebration through emails while living in China! He made it so easy for me and I was confident with his expertise. The evening was absolutely perfect - the meal was delicious, the presentation classy, and the service excellent. Food Experience is a very creative and professional team. Give them a call - you won't be disappointed! I would definitely work with them again!

    Food Experience's reply:

    Anne, thank you for leaving such a great review for us! We are happy we could help bring your son's rehearsal dinner to life, and make your vison happen, especially with you living in China. You picked not only a great menu but a beautiful location!

    Accommodating and Delicious!

    Flawless! Matthew and Tony were very accommodating in creating a phenomenal dairy and gluten free 3 course meal and hors d'oeuvres for our wedding. Our meal was exquisite and served timely. Everything was on point, and Emily was incredibly attentive to anything we could possibly need! They packed up and labeled all the extra food, which my guests fought over in the following days. We are still talking about how delicious and perfect it was 5 months later!

    Food Experience's reply:

    Thank you Keira! We were so happy to be a part of your wedding and loved using all the pottery you made!

    Amazing wedding catering

    Many of our guests shared that the food was the best wedding food they had ever tasted. The appetizers were to die for, and their servers were kind and professional. Matthew didn’t hesitate when I had last minute changes to our order, he was accommodating and made sure we had exactly what was needed. They offer a wide variety of dishes, and will even add new things if you’re looking for something in particular. Bravo!

    Guests raved!

    Matthew and Food Experience were a joy to work with! Guests raved about the food. Guests also commented that staff gave them far larger portion sizes than they'd expected. The staff set aside separate plates for my husband and I so that we wouldn't forget to eat. Matthew was very professional and answered many emails and questions throughout the planning process. I could not be happier with my Food Experience experience!

    Food Experience's reply:

    Amy,

    Congratulations and Thank You for the kind words. I am so happy your guests enjoyed dinner and the cookies. We had a great time working with you and your Mom. Best wishes to you and Sam!

    All my guests asked about the catering

    Matthew and Tony's food was delicious! Everyone kept asking for their name if they did carry out. I received a personalized menu that Matthew patiently requoted for me as our numbers changed. Food Experience helped with a lot including table set up, placement, cake cutting. They also made sure that my husband and I each had a full plate at our table when we sat down. So happy that we found them, they were great and so was the food!

    Food Experience's reply:

    Stephanie! Thank you for these kind words, we are thrilled you and your family loved the food. We absolutely loved working with you and your mother, her flower arrangements were stunning!

    Great Food and Staff

    We just got married and used Food Experience to help cater our wedding. My favorite part of planning our big day was meeting with the Food Experience staff to sample different meal options. We ended up going with a pasta bar which was a big hit at our outdoor wedding and it was budget friendly. The food was good and the staff was great! I HIGHLY recommend letting them cater your next event.

    Food Experience's reply:

    Michelle! Thank you for taking the time and leaving us this wonderful review. It truly means a lot to us. We are so grateful that we had the opportunity to work with you and your family and were part of such a special day.

    One of our best decisions!

    We truly enjoyed having the team at Food Experience cater our wedding! They were wonderful from start to finish! We have lots of picky eaters, but we also wanted an elegant dinner for our small wedding at the Inn at Tranquility Farm In Waynesville. Matthew met with me and worked out the menu, and then we had an amazing tasing with Tony and Emily. They were so gracious and gave us lots of recommendations and ideas we hadn’t thought of! We left there soooo stuffed!! And then the day of, they were just awesome! The whole staff was professional and the food was just as expected...delicious!!! Do your self a favor and get the pimento cheese and pretzel bread and also the mini tomato pies for apps....everyone raved about both!

    Food Experience's reply:

    Susan, we had such a great time from start to finish helping you with your menu selections, and we are thrilled that your family enjoyed the food. Both Tony and Emily had a great time with you at the tasting, and the whole team loved your front porch wedding reception. The entire wedding was simply beautiful!

    Fresh and Local with Flair!

    Matthew and Tony with Food Experience in Asheville provided such a memorable spread of local foods for our daughter's wedding that guests are STILL talking about it!! These guys were wonderful to work with, and not only did they provide a wide variety of menus to choose from, but they also were so willing to listen to suggestions and questions that we had. They can also beautifully accommodate common food allergies with absolutely delicious adaptations. The local charcuterie and local cheese board display was magnificent to look at as well as eat, and the passed hors d'oeuvres were so good. The staff was so professional, yet friendly, and very attentive to our guests needs. Prior to the wedding, Matthew met us on site and was incredibly helpful with suggestions for tent set up, placements and arrangements. His experience proved invaluable! All in all, I wholeheartedly recommend Food Experience and Matthew and Tony. They truly exceeded our expectations!

    Simply amazing food and service!

    I can't recommend Food Experienve enough! From start to finish, Matthew and Tony were incredible to work with! Very responsive and helpful during the planning process, and professional to a T.

    We initially reached out to Food Experience after failing to find an available local food truck for our wedding. The last thing we wanted was cookie cutter, mass produced wedding food, but rather carefully selected local foods and lots of flavor, so going with a traditional catering company was not originally in the plans, however we couldn't be happier with how everything worked out!

    We went to their local kitchen for a tasting and were amazed at the kindness and professionalism with which we were greeted with, as well as the constant stream of amazing foods they presented us. Needless to say, it was difficult to make up our minds when planning the menu.

    The food on our wedding day delivered in the same way the tasting did, and even more impressive was the wait staff. The team that arrived at our venue was beyond professional and executed the job with such grace and efficiency. Our guests made many comments to us that the food was amazing, from the appetizers to dinner.

    Many thanks to you, Matthew, Tony, and team!

    -Anna & Stephen

    Amazingggggg

    Okay guys. You can stop your hunt for the perfect caterer because ya'll just found them. Food Experience were top notch, hands down the most professional and tasty. Matthew was the most communicative and so helpful with all of our silly questions. Our guests are still raving about the food and the drinks and how the service was spot on. Thank you guys for making our wedding night the best!!!!

    Matthew and Tony did a phenomenal job catering our daughter's wedding last weekend at Sawyer Family Farmstead! They catered both the rehearsal dinner and reception and we could not have been more pleased! The quality and quantity of food was perfect, drawing rave reviews from everyone attending! They were attentive and their staff was equally so! We would highly recommend them for any event, large or small! Thank you!

    These guys were awesome! The food was excellent and the service was incredible. The wait staff was very professional and always on top of everything and Matthew was always quick to respond to my emails and made sure that everything went smoothly. Our guests loved the food and the ice cream bar and cookies were a fun alternative to cake. I have only good things to say about them and would definitely recommend them for any event.

    Matthew & Tony & their entire staff were absolutely great to work with!
    My daughter & fiance (now son in law) met with them & immediately knew this was who they wanted to cater their wedding.
    They catered both the rehearsal dinner and the wedding.
    For the next 11 months Matthew helped us to develop the menu, make adjustments & referred us to numerous other vendors as needed. All of their referrals were spot on!
    The food was all delicious & beautifully presented. Tony & Matthew went above & beyond my expectations in every way.
    The menu could have been tricky -mostly vegan, local as possible & served at an outside venue without electricity or water!
    But they never seemed to be phased - a truly "can do" attitude & a lot of fun to work with.
    Matthew responded to ALL of my emails/texts immediately & helpfully - for almost a year. On the day of the wedding if there were problems (like the rain) or many things I hadn't thought thru, he either gave CALM helpful suggestions or if it was last minute, he didnt even tell me about it & just handled it.
    Tony & Matthew were always so professional, positive, calm & warm that we never felt in over our heads or even stressed. . Matthew & Tony & their entire team were organized, efficient & creative - especially when the rain collapsed the tents minutes before the ceremony began!! I don't know how they did what they did with sticks & duct tape but when the Bride arrived everything had been taken care of & all were smiling!
    Tony, Matthew & their team had such a nice manner in relating to the guests - professional, efficient but always warm & friendly - they just had a great energy!
    Obviously I recommend "My Food Experience" without reservation & hope to find a reason to work with them again - or at least
    get to attend a function they cater so I can enjoy what they have lovingly prepared.

    There is not one single bad thing I can say about Tony, Matthew, and their team at My Food Experience. Planning an out of town/destination wedding was difficult, especially planning it myself, but Matthew was with me every step of the way and answered every silly or serious question that I had. He was also quick to respond and it never took him more than a day to get back to me. From the moment I walked in to do a tasting, the team was professional and kind. And the food! The food was amazing! I got numerous compliments about how delicious everything was.

    The team also provided our hors d’oeuvres. We served bruschetta with ricotta, honey, and tomato, fried green tomato on grit cake with chipotle aioli, classic antipasto tray (selection of meats and cheeses from the area) and a fruit tray.

    For dinner, we had a buffet style and served prime rib, chicken with two sauce options (beurre blanc and a citrus glaze), green beans, new potatoes with olive oil and parsley, a salad, rolls and butter.

    The pricing was reasonable considering all of the other catering vendors I looked into for our wedding. Matthew was very flexible and worked with me to come up with exactly what I wanted/needed.

    As far as the day of the wedding is concerned- everything went great! It rained the entire day up until the ceremony started and the team set up and worked through it all. I left Matthew to arrange/organize the bar area, the buffet area, etc. to whatever he thought would look best and make everything run smoothly/efficiently.

    I can absolutely say that our wedding would not have been such a success without My Food Experience and all of their hard work. I would recommend them to anyone getting married in the Asheville area (we were married in Arden, NC). You will not be disappointed! I cannot thank them enough for their wonderful service and I would use them again in a heartbeat.

    This company provided the food, cake, and staffing for my November 2011 wedding. The food was phenomenal. We got the airline chicken and prime rib. They allowed me to supplement the dinner menu with a few dishes of my own, as well as allowing me to do my own hors d'oeuvres to help fray costs. Their staff was friendly. The cake was a little sub-par and the rest of baked goods were great. Helped to do set up and clean up too.
