    Fabulous food

    John is an amazing chef and catered exactly to what our wants and needs were for our wedding. The cheese and fruit display during cocktail hour was a huge hit. The sliders and fries bar toward the end of the evening was beautiful and delicious. Could not have asked for better food!

    Curated menu, gorgeous appetizers, delicious!

    We had a bit of a tricky situation since both my now-husband and I are vegan but had plenty of meat-eating guests. We wanted southern comfort meets fine dining with vegan options that even the most carnivorous guest couldn't resist, and Fords developed a completely unique menu item of TOFU CHICK'N AND WAFFLES!!! which is my favorite dish and they let us modify an existing package to do exactly what we wanted. Paired with southern short rib, brie mashed potatoes and braised brussel sprouts with a delicious salad, apple jicama slaw, and even fancy cucumber water, everyone was SHOCKED by how delicious the tofu was and how yummy everything overall was! No one even knew the appetizers were vegetarian/vegan...

    Super Delicious Food!

    Natasha and Chef John are absolutely outstanding! They bring out all the stops and make sure your wedding meal is beautiful AND delicious! They made sure my new husband and I got to have the hors devours at our cocktail hour and even made us an extra one that we loved at our tasting but didn't get to choose for our guests. They also plated our food and brought it out to us before everyone had been served so we had a chance to eat at the reception. They seriously go above and beyond for their couples! Looking around I noticed our guests were eating every last bite on their plates - they loved the food! Natasha and Chef John are professional, kind, organized and so easy to work with. I hands down recommend Fords Fluent N' Food!

    A dream to work with!

    As a wedding planner, having quality, professional vendors on the wedding day makes all the difference. Fords Fluent n' Foods was not only amazing to work with leading up to and on the wedding day but their food is to die for! All of the guests and the bride & groom couldn't say enough about how perfectly the food was cooked and presented. If you are a couple looking to hire a unique, delicious, professional caterer for your special event without breaking the bank, definitely contact Natasha and Chef John at FFF. - Tara Ruffier, Certified Wedding Planner, Premier Party Planners.

    Absolutely Delicious Food

    I can't tell you how many weddings I've been to with standard "wedding food". Dry chicken, over cooked steak..and I really wanted to make sure the food at my own wedding was tasty and different. The food from Ford's was really amazing. We did 3 passed hors d'oeurves at our cocktail hour - the standout being the fried green tomato caprese. SO many of our guests mentioned this one afterwards! And for dinner we did the shrimp risotto and the short rib. We also got many compliments on the dinner food! Natasha also made sure that my husband and I got our food as soon as we sat down and that we were happy. They're extremely hard workers and we are so happy we went with them.

    Simply beyond amazing!

    We don't have enough good things to say about this company! Jon and Natasha were so incredible during the planning process. And y'all, they make the BEST tacos we have EVER had in our entire lives! Don't think twice about hiring them because you absolutely will NOT be disappointed!

    Food and service was amazing

    I wasn't expecting the food at my best friends wedding to be amazing. I love food. I've been to some amazing restaurants, ( ex. Bern's steak house in Tampa Fl ) I was pleasantly surprised! The food was amazing no short cuts, tender meat, excellent cuts, nothing bland about it! Phenomenal food and service!

    Most amazing food and staff!

    Natasha and John are simply wonderful from start to finish! They made us feel so comfortable at our first tasting with them and the food was just delicious. We didn't even bother to try other caterers because we felt so at home with them and the food was so good. Their process was simple from picking out menus, getting special plates for guests with dietary needs and finalizing all smaller details that they would take care of on our wedding day. Their service the day of was nothing short of professional and they bring some of their own decor to add, so the buffet is dressed up for the occasion. I couldn't recommend them enough!

    Knocked it out of the Park

    I cannot say enough about FFF! They were the first food vendor we visited, and we looked no further. Their packages are customizable, their options are unbelievable, and they came to the venue themselves, and worked our wedding. Their staff displayed the same level of passion and positive vibes - which was awesome! It rained on our wedding day, but it didn't stop them from hand-delivering food to our guests - with smiles on their faces. They treated us like family, and all of our guests still talk about how good the food was! You will not regiret choosing them!

    Best wedding food ever

    Natasha and Chef John and their team helped make our wedding day everything we imagined and more. The food was perfection, people are still talking about how good it was. They were so easy to work with, communicated well throughout the planning process, were professional and flexible to work with. I would recommend them 100 times over.

    The best food!

    Natasha and John were incredible to work with and produced some of the most amazing food we've ever eaten. We had numerous guests say that it was the best wedding meal they've ever had. It was worth every penny we spent! Natasha reached out to us numerous times leading up to the wedding to ensure that everything was ready to go and we had nothing to worry about on our wedding day. The day of went off without a hitch and we couldn't be happier.

    Amazing caterer

    The food and the people who make it are amazing. My husband and I really enjoyed working with Chef John and Natasha. They were incredibly helpful and worked with us to create a perfect meal that thematically matched the occasion, while also taking the allergies' of our guests into consideration. Plus, they're just awesome friendly people.

    There is no comparison!

    The second I walked in, I was impressed. I was greeted warmly by Natasha Ford, who was so responsive on email that I felt like I already knew her! We then sat at a beautifully decorated table and the wine was poured :-). The food prepared by Chef John was sooo delicious! We had the sausage and pepper empanada and the basil chicken. We savored every bite! I cannot wait to eat at my wedding! Food is something I will not have to worry about on my wedding day because I am 100% confident that Chef John and Natasha will take care of everything!

    Lindsey Tripp- 12/30/18

    The Fords are absolutely AMAZING! Their food is to die for! After our tasting, we were both so obsessed with their food we bragged about it to everyone! They gave me and my bridesmaids some snacks while we got ready and made sure me and my husband had a plate of appetizers so we wouldn’t miss out. The decorations they bring are absolutely beautiful and their whole team is so sweet! They made sure our dinner and dessert bar was perfect and our hot chocolate and apple cider bar was the highlight of our night. Not only is their food amazing, but their team is as well. Everyone was so kind and supportive and helped make our special day run smoothly. I can’t thank them enough!!

    Best experience EVER!

    The Ford's were absolutely amazing! They were very responsive when discussing details before the wedding. The food was amazingly delicious and all of our guests thought so! Natasha served us Hors d'oeuvre's so we didn't starve between pictures and dinner. And Chef John served us dinner and made sure we had everything we needed! I would definitely book with the Ford's again and I would suggest them to any bride in the area. I couldn't have asked for a better catering experience!

    An Elevated Experience

    There are no words to describe how amazing Chef John and Natasha are! They pay attention to every detail to ensure that your experience is perfect. From the initial consultation to the wedding day I was impressed with their professionalism, responsiveness, and the food was amazing!

    Let me say that the egg roll station is EVERYTHING! Thank you both for making my day so very special! Even the left overs were amazing the second time around!

    We had such an amazing experience from beginning to end with Natasha and John Ford! They are top notch individuals with an incredibly professional business and amazing food. We utilized them for our wedding catering and everyone was so impressed. From our first meeting with the Fords, we felt like instant friends! I had an idea for the food I wanted at our wedding which was different than their menus and they used their creativity to accommodate my wishes and made it amazing. The Fords came up with the genius idea when I mentioned I wanted Italian to do a made-to-order pasta bar where guests would create their own dishes and the meals were sauteed right in front of...

    I cannot say enough good things about the Ford's! Exceptional service, attention to detail, above and beyond catering! This was epic culinary skill at it's finest. The Ford's catered my rehearsal dinner and my wedding this past weekend and it was nothing short of amazing. They took pride in not only the food, but the lay out and display of their food, which was super important to me. Throughout the process, the Ford's were quick to communicate via e-mail or phone, answer all my questions and address all concerns, and never once did I have to worry about them or second guess my decision. Not only that, but they provided an intimate evening for my fiance and I in...

    Wow! We can't say enough good things about Fords Fluent N' Food. They are so professional and they make sure every detail you're looking for on your wedding day comes true! And of course, their food is incredible! We found them at a local wedding show and it was the best thing we ever did was hiring their team for such an important day in our lives.

    Great food!

    We were very happy with our experience with Fords Fluent N’ Food. We originally were scheduled to get married in October of 2020, but, due to the pandemic, rescheduled for July of 2021. Chef John did a great job of communicating with us throughout this time and made sure that we could taste the new Summer menu. Everything, particularly the appetizers, was absolutely delicious and brought lots of compliments from guests. We were especially impressed with the snacks that Chef John prepared for us while the bridal party was getting ready before the wedding. It was a great touch that really showed that Fords Fluent N’ Food goes above and beyond.

    Genuine & best money I’ve ever spent

    The best decision I made was hiring the Fords. The husband and wife team truly are passionate about what they do. I prefer to work with a company who cares about the true quality of food. Everything they do is genuine, fresh and brought tears to my eyes.

    Thank you Fords for making my day one of the best memories of my life. Quality is everything. If you want quality, hire this company. Most companies are no good. This company will make you proud and your guest rave.
