    Great experience and incredible food!

    We had a great experience prepping for our wedding with La-Tea-Da’s. Janet was fun to work with and accommodative to what we wanted for our wedding food. She provided great suggestions and you can tell her team really wants to personalize everything to the couple’s preferences. I would recommend Janet and her team to any couple looking for a caterer!

    Wonderful Catering Experience

    La-tea-da's catered my daughters wedding at the Brawley Estate in September. There are so many wonderful things I could say about them. First the food was delicious. I received so many compliments from wedding guests on the quality of the food. Traci was so easy to work with. I felt fully confident with her in charge of the process. The level of customer service was exceptional. They played a part in making my daughter's wedding day just perfect. I can't thank them enough.

    Unbelievable food and service

    La-tea-Da's catered our daughter's wedding reception last weekend. We received SO MANY compliments on the food. We had family friends from Charleston who raved about the shrimp and grits station! One friend told me it was the best wedding reception food she has ever had. Traci was so easy to work with and the service was amazing.

    La-Tea-Da's Wedding Review

    La-tea-da's went above and beyond for my wedding! Janet made the planning a breeze, she was very organized and made my vision come to life. Food, drinks, and service were a top priority for my wedding and La-tea-da's more than succeeded! The food was some of the best I have ever had- we are still receiving complements from our guests! All of the small touches and details did not go unnoticed. The service was top-notch and La-Tea-Da's did not miss a beat. I would HIGHLY recommend La-tea-Da's for your wedding or next event! I look forward to using them in the future.

    Could NOT have been better

    From start to finish our experience with La-tea-da was just exceptional. The food was superb, the staff so professional and helpful and the planning for it went so well because of how flexible they are. I would never use any other caterer by La-tea-da for future events.

    5 Stars - Exquisite

    I honestly have no words. The service was perfect. Not one bad thing. Look no further. The best to ever do it. You need them for your wedding. This will be one less thing to think about. The food was amazing! The servers were top tier. So professional. Just hire them already. Seriously.

    Top notch!!!!!

    Great food, great service and beautiful presentations! All of our guests raved about the delicious food and the way that it was displayed and served. LaTeaDas definitely pays attention to detail and they did a fantastic job all around. They helped make the day exceptional in every way! Working with their team was nothing less than amazing and we cannot thank them enough for a job well done!

    Best Reception Food in Years

    Our daughter chose The Brawley Estate in Mooresville, NC for her reception, and they exclusively partner with La-Tea-Da’s Catering. We could see why - consistently great food, beautifully displayed. Our guests raves about the sirloin and chicken dishes, as well as the amount of food available. Everything was still warm for those who chose to have seconds, too! The charcuterie and passed appetizers were delicious, too - if they still offer the mushroom crostini, do try it! We requested to bring home any leftovers, which helped us feed out of town family that weekend as well. I’ve heard some caterers don’t let you do that, which I don’t understand, but LTD did with a smile. Overall, a very pleasant experience and food worth raving about. Our only regret is that no one took any pictures of the food displays, would have been nice for the album. But the memory of how delicious it was will live on!

    Perfect Bridal Shower

    I cannot say enough good things about La Tea Da's and the amazing work they did for my daughters bridal shower! The food was amazing, the display beautiful, the service awesome and the staff was so warm, professional and personable, I cannot thank them enough. From planning, to setup and throughout the event, the day was just perfect! 'Champagne and Tea with the Bride to be', who else would I call? La Tea Da's was the only, and perfect, choice of caterer.

    Best Caterer in Charlotte!

    I can’t recommend La-Tea-Das enough for your catering needs!! Working with them was a breeze, and they make you feel like family from the start.

    My family and I wanted to place special emphasis on the cuisine at our wedding, not only for the taste but also the presentation. We were looking for a caterer that brought the “WOW!” factor. La-Tea-Das more than delivered. Our food was the talk of our wedding reception!

    Working with Emily, all of our specific requests were not only met but delivered with elegance. For example, my husband and I wanted to have a dinner together alone prior to our reception entrance. We were surprised with the most beautiful and private candle-lit dinner and had the whole room to ourselves. Additionally, we had a special liquor on hand at the bar for my grandfather to enjoy. One of the waitresses somehow pegged him “as the type” to drink this without meeting him beforehand, and personally delivered a glass of his favorite whisky to him. The staff interacted (and danced!) with my guests as if we were all family.

    In the chaos and whirlwind of our wedding day, it was so reassuring to have LTDs as a part of it all. They contributed to ensuring that our day was absolute perfection. We cannot thank Emily, Janet, and Mark enough, in addition to the other wonderful wait staff and culinary pros behind the scenes!

    5 Stars for Service and Flavor

    We loved worked with La-tea-da's for our rehearsal dinner at the Brawley Estate, they were so easy to work with, created the perfect menu for us, and the food was incredible! No issues with any part of the planning, and since they're an exclusive caterer for Brawley Estate they know the venue and know exactly how to set up for the perfect evening. We loved working with them!

    La-tea-da's is Fabulous! Their food is Delicious and the Presentation is Beautiful! My daughter got married in June and we are still getting compliments on the quality of the food and the staff. We had an unexpected weather event happen and had to move the cocktail hour and it was seamless, the guests weren't even aware anything had been changed! If you hire La-tea-da's you will not be Disappointed!

    Emily and the folks from La-tea-da's catering were absolutely amazing and helped to make our daughters wedding a very memorable occasion. From the day we interviewed Emily over the phone, we knew she was the person we wanted to help orchestrate this wedding event. Emily listened to what our daughter and her fiance wanted for their wedding, had tons of suggestions when we were not sure what to do and was so flexible and easy to work with. The night of the wedding we received so many compliments on the creative food choices, the servers, and how fantastic the wedding was. Could not have done it without La-tea-da being one of our finest vendors!

    We were overjoyed with how all of the food, drinks, and service by La Tea Das Catering turned out for our wedding. Our guests are still raving about the delicious food (especially the pork doughnut appetizers!). They really went above and beyond in not only creating an awesome and creative wedding dinner but overall experience! We really appreciate how prompt, flexible, and accommodating they were with us throughout the planning process. We definitely recommend this catering company!!

    Janet,

    I want to thank you for a wonderful event. My wife has expressed several times, “This is what I’ve imagined for our daughter, since the day she was born”. Your staff was as professional as it comes and I believe we have found a caterer for life. As you may well know, we had guest from as far north as Green Bay WI, and as far south as Vero Beach FL; they all raved about their dinner. La-tea-da’s far exceeded our expectations. Your teams preparation and presentation was spot on. Thank you so very much for ensuring this special day was exactly that “Special”.

    Samuel was very helpful with everything in planning the details of our menu. Even as far as going out and picking the exact color of blush napkin I wanted. There is never a moment when my glass was empty. They went above and beyond to provide the best service for our guests and us. The food was exquisite and the service was on point. The server's came out to the wedding party with hors d'oeuvres and drinks while we were taking pictures while cocktail hour was going on so we were able to enjoy as well. I was by far impressed with the level of service that we received. All of our guests were as well and mentioned what a beautiful wedding it was and how they were blown away by the food and service. Samuel is the greatest and our life saver and everyone loved your menu ideas! La Tea Da was very flexible with the menu which we loved! We will truly cherish that day and the memory! Thank for everything!

    We used La-Tea-Da's for lunch, cocktail and dinner at our daughter's Bat Mitzvah and couldn't be happier. Janet took the time to get to know our 13-year-old's likes and taste which showed in the menu selection and presentation. Our guests were impressed!
    The staff was polite, friendly and extremely helpful. We know where to go for our next event.

    There are not enough words to describe how wonderful Janet with La-tea-das is or how impressed I am with her. She truly saved our wedding day, and that is no exaggeration. When we had to change our venue the day before the wedding, Janet had an amazing suggestion for a new venue. It was perfect! She made all of the contacts, met us at the venue, and explained a new vision on the fly (to a very frazzled bride).

    When we had to switch venues, we also had to do a rehearsal the day of. In only six hours, Janet pulled off a gorgeous and delicious rehearsal dinner at our new venue. The appetizers, dinner, and presentation exceeded every expectation. We were absolutely blown away!

    She and the new event location coordinator worked tirelessly to create our dream wedding. They reworked the cocktail and reception spaces so that they suited our personalities, even surprising us with market lighting and details galore! Our guests absolutely raved about how delicious the food was, and we couldn't agree more! Janet even made sure that my new husband and I had a few minutes for a candlelit dinner alone after our wedding ceremony. She even had late night snacks ready to go for our guests as they left. She is so creative in her menus and food presentation! Her staff did a fantastic job!

    There is no one I could possibly recommend more than Janet and her exceptional team. I could go on and on about how wonderful Janet is and how far above and beyond she went to create the perfect wedding for us. Five out of five stars simply doesn't do her or her team justice. I can't thank her enough. She is simply the best!

    Janet was extremely accommodating for our needs as well as our budget! She and her staff were very attentive throughout the event. Before dinner even started, I spilled red wine on my wedding dress and her entire staff dropped what they were doing to blot with club soda!!! Food was excellent as well all of our guests loved it!!!

    La-tea-da's was the perfect caterer for our wedding day. Their communication was great, their service staff was an absolute pleasure to work with, and the quality of their food/drink was outstanding! Janet, Sam, Debbie and the team were instrumental in making our special day perfect for us and our guests. We would 100% recommend La-tea-da's to anyone! Thank you so much!

    This was one of the best parts of my wedding. My guest raved and raved about the food and made comments about how it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. Everything about their service was amazing. At the taste testing we all got to try what we would be serving and they worked with us as we made changes. At the wedding they made sure the bridal party ate and everyone was happy. I have never worked with more professional individuals in my entire life. If I could give them 10 stars I would because they went that above and beyond. Thank you again for making my wedding the best day ever.

    Elizabeth and the LaTeaDa's staff made sure people were still raving about the food at our wedding when we went back to work a week later. (I had more than one person ask for the roasted corn dip recipe.) Elizabeth took the time to sit down with us and send countless emails back and forth to male sure she understood our wants, needs, and vision. They were the only caterer we talked to who actually provided us with a sample menu designed for our wedding with our budget in mind. All of the other caterers just sent over their full menu and a list of additional fees so we could figure it out on our own...like someone planning a wedding has time to do that!? On the day of our wedding Elizabeth and her staff were nothing short of perfect. They arrived on time, despite the Charlotte Marathon and it's traffic, and even made a plate of the passed cocktail hour hors d'oeuvres for my husband and I to eat before we were introduced at the reception. After the wedding they took care of making sure we had to-go boxes of food because they new we wouldn't get to eat much during the reception. Elizabeth and LaTeaDa's are the only caterer I will ever use from now on!

    La-Tea-Da's helped make our wedding day one-of-a-kind for our wedding guests! They were very professional, and helped bring our vision of the wedding day food to reality! As big foodies, my husband and I really appreciated their incredible knowledge base of different types of cuisines and not only willingness but enthusiasm to work with us to incorporate a unique menu/serving style for our big day. Our guests were blown away by not only the taste of the amazing food but the presentation as well. I would highly recommend La-Tea-Da's without reservation for anyone with catering needs!

    When my daughter got engaged, the first call I made was to make sure that La-tea-da's would be available to cater the wedding. I had always been impressed with their outstanding service and incredible food, so hiring them was a must. We worked with Elizabeth and she is the most organized, creative, calm, responsive, professional I have met in a long time. The venue we chose required that we rent everything we needed including a kitchen. Elizabeth did not miss a single detail. She found a creative solution for every challenge always keeping our budget in mind. When she told me not to worry that she would take care of everything, she meant it. We hired Elizabeth to be our point person for the day and she managed all the other vendors so I could spend the wedding day worry free.
    As great as the service was, the food was even more outstanding. We had a large variety of items throughout the evening and every bite was delicious. My guests raved about the food from the way it was served to how fabulous it tasted. The presentation of every passed appetizer, every station and dessert presentation was remarkable and spot on. La-tea-da's worked seamlessly with the other vendors and the evening was magical. Everything they did was perfect from beginning to end. They were generous and creative and it was a pleasure. They made my daughter's wedding dreams come true.

    We had numerous guests comments that our food was the best and most creative they had tasted at any wedding. The catering staff was professional and did a fantastic job. The presentation was lovely and very appealing. I would highly recommend La Tea Da's to anyone who is looking for a caterer. Elizabeth, the Catering Manager we worked with, was wonderful. She was able to answer all of our questions, would get back to us in a timely manner, and made good suggestions about placement of food set up and presentation for the reception.

    La-Tea-Das did an amazing job with our wedding reception! From menu planning to the wonderful tasting, to the wedding reception itself, every detail was top notch. I cannot say enough about the wonderful service, and creative menu. We received so many complements from our guests on the delicious meal.

    We were beyond pleased. Thank you La-Tea-Das!

    La-Tea-Da's catered both my rehearsal dinner and wedding this past April, and I don't even have words to express how amazing the whole experience was. Being a foodie and someone who works in the industry, I have pretty high standards. I certainly didn't make it easy on them! We brought La-Tea-Da's on as our caterer at the last minute. Seriously last minute - like a week before. Did I mention my wedding was multicultural and I wanted to include a good amount of Venezuelan and Spanish inspired dishes? Janet met with me to discuss the menus only days before the wedding, and she put my mind at ease instantly. All of the challenges I thought would be insurmountable, namely my eclectic taste in food, only seemed to excite her more as she threw out creative solutions and suggestions with the enthusiasm of a kid in a candy store. In the end, I wound up with my dream menu. Incredible passed hors d'oeuvres, Paella, tapas, shrimp & grits, ceviche, gazpacho, tacos, sushi, a Venezuelan parilla station, late night Philly cheese steak sliders, and more somehow all came together beautifully to create one of the best food experiences I've ever had. My guests consistently echo my sentiments as well. My only regret was not taking the time to eat even more, though it wasn't for lack of trying on the part of the staff! We arrived to the reception venue to a lovely candlelit sampling for two while the cocktail hour wrapped up and the amazing staff diligently kept our cups and plates full the whole night. I could go on and on, but let's just say I'm anxiously awaiting a ten year vow renewal of some sort so I can call La-Tea-Da's up and do it all again.

    We worked with Elizabeth for our reception catering, she was awesome! She always responded quickly to any question that we had. She even helped bustle my dress at the reception. She was very nice and professional. Everyone at our reception raved about the food and the service!! All of the service staff were so friendly and willing to help! Again I loved working with Elizabeth and this company. I very highly recommend them!

    La-tea-das was one of the best decisions I made while planning my wedding. Elizabeth was so helpful and the staff was so nice. Many of my guest said it was the best wedding food that they have ever had. ( I used their southern menu... I could only imagine how good their other menus are.)The presentation was beautiful and the food was hot. If I host another event I will be using them again!

    La-Tea-Da's is an amazing company and caterer! Their entire team went above and beyond for my big day. We got so many compliments on the food, set up, decor, and quality of everything, including how wonderful all of the staff was. I honestly cannot say enough about how superb they were. Elizabeth and Janet are amazing to work with, providing great input, suggestions, and ensuring all the details come together seamlessly. You will not have to worry about a thing on your big day if you hire them! I would highly recommend them for your wedding, or any event!

    We could not have asked for anything better than La Tea Da! Janet and her staff are wonderful to work with and extremely professional. She took the worry out of the last week before the wedding. She contacted all of my vendors to be sure everything was on schedule and it was perfect.The food and presentation was wonderful! It just does not get any better!

    One of the most complimented aspects of our entire wedding was the food; and La Tea Da’s gets the credit for creating a one-of-a-kind menu we'll never forget. Blending cultures at a wedding isn’t necessarily easy, and that's especially true when it comes to food. La Tea Da’s combined fusion elements of an authentic Southern-style banquet with the elegance of traditional Chinese cooking. Our guests couldn’t get enough of the food, so nobody left wanting. In fact, many guests asked for the recipes!
    If you are looking for a unique and skillful approach to your next wedding, let La Tea Da’s create a menu that everybody will remember. Flexibility, creativity, service, and attention to detail: These guys are the BEST, no doubt about it.

    Janet combines great food with creativity. We greeted guests with pink lemonade vodka as our signature drink, it was so tasty! She not only provided great passed appetizers (crab cakes, canapes, pimento cheese cones) creative food stations, but also pulled off a surprise for our guests...passed mini ice cream cones as a late night snack. It was perfect! The guests loved the food and the wait staff was unbelievable. LTD's had someone specifically there to check on my groom and I, get our drinks and make our plates for us. It was a vendor that I never had to worry about, I knew from our first meeting Janet would run a great event!

We have received MANY compliments about the food, presentation and flow of our reception…this is all due to Kelly, her vision and her dedication to make our special day that much more special. We can not thank you enough!

Look no further, this is the caterer to go with!

    I chose La-tea-da's because they offered sushi during cocktail hour...that was honestly my deciding factor. The food was amazing and the service was fabulous. My guests loved the food and was thrilled that they were served so quickly once the reception started. I'd like to personally thank Elizabeth for ensuring that my bridal party was fed during cocktail hour and that my husband and I were served first. I also thought it was a sweet touch that my bridal party and family were served plated meals, as opposed to the family style service. That was very special!

    They are very busy so it took a little while to get an answer from time to time, but that was okay. The service, personalized touches, and the food outshine all of that.

    Elizabeth, thank you so much for our little plate of spicy tuna rolls on the sweetheart table. We loved it!!

    Onsite Caterer

    This caterer works onsite at the Brawley Estate (in addition to being an offsite caterer as well). Because we booked the venue, we were obligated to use this caterer. Thankfully, the food is great and the presentation is nice. Food is a critical part of a wedding and they delivered. The staff was courteous and professional as well. They also provided the linens for an add'l cost.

    La-Tea-Da's catered our wedding in July. The food was delicious and they had many options to choose from. La-tea-da's was very responsive, helpful, and accommodating to all of our needs! They took many safety precautions and listened to all of our concerns and needs during the pandemic!

    Superb Service! Great Food!

    My party was November 2019 and folks are still raving about the food. Although the food was scrumptious, I was even more impressed with the service. You and your team did everything you promised and more, including helping me locate my guest book and setting it up before my arrival. The staff was well-dressed and friendly. I was lucky to be your customer and look forward to using La-Tea-Da's again. God bless you.

    Janet and her team were truly wonderful! We had a disastrous experience with a caterer prior to finding La-tea-da's and were very disheartened. Upon meeting with Janet's team, they turned everything around! They worked tirelessly to get us exactly what we wanted and keep to our budget. The result was beautiful, delicious food that I continue to get positive feedback about from our wedding guests! I could not recommend La-tea-da's more! You won't be sorry!

    La-Tea-Da's was absolutely wonderful! Elizabeth was always quick to return emails and calls. I had a lot of changes and Elizabeth was always very patient with me and offered up suggestions when I felt lost or overwhelmed. We did a tasting and there were a couple of things that we didn't love and she was willing to change up the recipe to my tasting. Very flexible and pricing was reasonable.

    At the wedding, the creative displays were amazing! I thought that everything would be on platters and chafing dishes but everything was out the box creative and fun. and the food was so amazing! I still have guests who talk about the food and the design of each station.

    My only challenge was in the beginning it was very hard to get someone to return my calls/emails in order to get initial menu/pricing. I almost gave up but called one more time. After that, Elizabeth was always quick to return my calls and emails.

    I highly recommend La-Tea-Da's for any of your catering needs!

    Elizabeth and the La Tea Da's team were absolutely amazing to work with and I would highly recommend them to any friend or future bride! From the beginning of the planning process Elizabeth worked with my fiancé and I to find out what we liked, what we envisioned for our wedding day and discussed numerous options with us to achieve those things. On top of being amazing to work with their catering and food options are unique and delicious! Many of our guest commented on how tasty all of the food was and what beautiful presentation and detail was put into each item. Elizabeth also helped us with week of/day of coordination helping to alleviate any stress I may have. Everything went so smoothly, and when it did not (my dress bustle coming undone), Aaron (the LTD's designer) helped sew it back together so I could get back on the dance floor! Quality, professional service with delicious one of a kind food options for your wedding guests- it doesn't get any better!

    La-tea-da's did our rehearsal dinner. It was a simple buffet drop off, but we had one of their bartenders stay to serve beverages. He was wonderful! The food was amazing, especially the shrimp and grits. It was great to have a good meal before my big day.

    La-tea-da's was the perfect choice for us! We appreciated all the help from Emily leading up to the Wedding and all the help at the tasting and tailoring our menu down for the Wedding. The day of the Wedding went absolutely perfectly and the food was all delicious! The bartenders and servers all provided great service and we very much appreciated the plate of apps and the waters that were delivered to our holding room while we enjoyed some quiet time before the reception! From start to finish the staff made us feel special and everything was taken care of in front of and behind the scenes!

    What an amazing business!! I literally have never eaten better catered food than what I received for my rehearsal dinner and wedding dinner with La-tea-da's. Weeks after my wedding, my family and friends are still raving about the food-and we know that's the most important part to the guests!
    I could not have asked for a better woman to work with on my catering than Janet. She helped me out so much with both choosing my menu and with making sure I was able to keep the meal within my budget and still have what I wanted.
    Highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend!

    Our venue had a list of preferred caters from which we had to use, and we settled on La-Tea-Da's after our initial tasting there. We were very impressed by the selection of foods and loved how everything was presented.

    When I booked La Tea Da's, I worked with Elizabeth who was absolutely wonderful. She was very responsive to my emails and had a lot of great suggestions as to what to serve. She helped us come up with our first-draft menu. Around Christmastime, though, she stopped replying to my emails. I learned that she had left the company, and the owner, Janet, assigned Madison to help us from there on out.

    Madison was slower to reply to my emails. If I had an issue hearing back from her though, I would send a followup email and CC Janet, which sometimes did the trick. We met with Madison about a month before the wedding for our final tasting. Once I met her in person, I was reassured that everything would be fine. She was very attentive and listened to our ideas, and helped us make a few changes to our menu.

    A couple of weeks before the wedding, I had some trouble getting in touch with Madison to make a couple of changes to our invoice. I ended up having to call up there and have another employee fix it, because I didn't want to mail in our final payment before everything was right.

    The wedding itself was fantastic! The food tasted incredible, and the presentation was spectacular. I was really impressed with how they arranged everything on the stations, and how they made the food look so pretty. Several of our guests stopped to comment on how great the food was, and honestly, the catering was the most important aspect of the wedding to me and my fiance.

    All and all La Tea Da's did a great job! We got exactly what we wanted and our guests were very happy.

    Jan and her staff were very accommodating and developed a fantastic menu which fit our budget (about $12 per person). We had an abundance of food and it was all delicious. I had several requests after the wedding for my caterer’s information. She provided staff to serve the food as well as table, warming lamps, etc. I would recommend this business to anyone looking for a caterer.

    La Tea Da's did an amazing job catering our 10.21.17 wedding at The Brawley Estate in Mooresville. I was so excited to work with this company from the time I looked at their sample menus and saw their variety of upscale, creative dishes. Our tasting appointment was wonderful as Janet and her team allowed us to try all sorts of delicious items. They helped us create a perfect menu for our wedding, including passed apps and custom signature drinks for cocktail hour, a plated dinner at the reception, and a delicious s'mores bar as our late night snack. Our guests raved about the quality and variety of our food. Janet and her team also made the planning process smooth and enjoyable - they are highly skilled professionals who really know their stuff. The final bill was more than I had hoped for, but in the end, it was truly worth every penny. You should definitely consider La Tea Da's for your next event!

    La Tea Da's catered a brunch for my recent wedding on 4-2-11. They did an absolutely awesome job. Their staff was very professional and attentive to my needs. The set up was beautiful. Janet, Jessica and Kelly asked all the right questions and did not forget one detail. Food was awesome, service was awesome, presentation was awesome. I highly recommend them for any catering event you have.

    Great food and service, but pricing flux with COVID

    Make no mistake, we felt the services provided by LaTeaDas were great - from the taste of the food itself to the display and services of the staff. Brides should just be mindful that their original quote may not stand with flux in food pricing with COVID...so for budgetary purposes it made me go over what I had anticipated spending. This may be the same across the industry but it may be a good point to ask when looking into food vendors.
