    Great food!

    The food was absolutely amazing! It felt more upscale than normal 'wedding food'! Our guests even made comments to us about how good the dinner was. Sue & the entire staff were very professional & responsive. We couldn't ask for a better company to work with on our wedding day! We had asked that they save a hors d'oeuvres for us & not only did they do that, they delivered them out to us during our sunset pictures!!!

    Jenna, we're delighted that you and Andy were so pleased with our catering services! Thank you for letting us know! It was delightful to get to know both of you and it was our pleasure to be a part of your Wedding and First Meal as a New Family! We wish you both all the best and much joy! All the best, Sue and Team

    Great Flexibility, Excellent Food!

    Because of Covid we had to reschedule the wedding and completely change the menu for a different time of year and different venue, and Sue at Straight to the Plate was extremely flexible and helpful! Delicious food and great service. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

    Straight to the Plate Catering's reply:

    Hi Anna! Thank you so much for asking us to be a part of the celebration! We're delighted you enjoyed our Thanksgiving inspired menu and our services! As a family-owned business, especially during COVID, your review means a lot to us and our team! Thank you for taking the time to review us and for the very kind words! Happy Holidays and many blessings to you and your family!

    5 stars for straight to the plate!

    Sue and her crew are amazing! We had a post-wedding celebration in our backyard last weekend. Entertaining with all of the new guidelines is a little daunting, but Straight to the Plate didn’t miss a beat. We came up with an idea of stretching out the party over a longer period of time with smaller groups assigned to specific time slots. Sue and her chef were super flexible and figured out how to serve the food so it was delicious, hot, fresh and creatively presented. The servers were delightful. We highly recommend Straight to the Plate!

    Straight to the Plate Catering's reply:

    Margaret, thank you for the review and letting our team know how much you enjoyed our services! It was our absolute pleasure to be a part of your family's celebration and to partner with you to make the celebration happen safely while giving a great guest experience! Thank. you again and stay well! Sue and Team

    Amazing Food!

    Straight to the Plate was amazing! The food was absolutely delicious and surpassed our expectations. We had multiple guests comment that it was the best wedding food they have ever had. They also made a point to ensure that we actually ate, without them literally handing me appetizers and grabbing me for food, I probably would not have.

    Beyond just the food, I would recommend Straight to the Plate to ANYONE for their professionalism as a company. I truly feel that they went above and beyond for me leading up to the wedding and day of, Beth even bustled my dress :) They were incredibly responsive for all questions / concerns leading up, most of the time within an hour. Additionally, we were planning during a new COVID spike so they were knowledgable about protocol and accommodating about any restrictions / requests that we or the venue had.

    Having a vendor at your wedding that you know is not only going to serve amazing food but also be there to jump in whenever needed, follow the timeline, accommodate any sort of request is invaluable.

    You will not go wrong if you hire them :)

    Detail Oriented and Great Quality

    Sue and her team were so lovely. We worked with them as out-of-staters and they made everything so easy. From coordinating a fabulous tasting, to prepping a late-night snack (poutine) that was just like the real Canadian thing - and also a first for them, to making everything taste so amazing and look so easy at the wedding itself. All of this was during a pandemic no less. Straight to the Plate had every precaution in place to keep us and our guests safe during the entire thing. We'd highly recommend!

    Good food and service

    Straight to the Plate was great! The food was excellent - my family was talking about the pork for about a week afterwards. They were also very flexible with dietary restrictions and made me my own vegan plate!

    Straight to the Plate Catering's reply:

    Nikki, we're so excited that we made everything special for your and Brandon's Wedding Day and First Meal as a New Family! We loved designing your guest experience! We're also so glad that the guests enjoyed all of our culinary delights and especially the cranberry chipotle glazed pork, Thank you so much for letting us know how delighted you were with our catering services and for the 5 Star Review! We wish you and Brandon a life full of love, blessings, health and happiness! Thank you again for asking us to be a part of your Wedding Day! Sue and Team

    Wish we could eat their food everyday!

    We loved working with Straight to the Plate! Their attention to detail and friendliness was amazing. The food was sooo good too! We always say we wish we could go their tacos regularly. We definitely recommend them!

    Wonderful!

    Debra Mizrahi, Director, was my point of contact and she was absolutely wonderful and accommodating to the needs of my wedding. It was a small wedding and we didn’t need a whole lot, but beautifully passed hors d'oeuvres. I had specific requests of what I desired, not only for myself but for my guests and most of all my fiancé, and she made it happened! Thank you Debra and everyone at Straight to the Plate!

    Best in the business!

    My fiance and I stopped in to do our tasting with Sue and the team last week - and we were blown away! Sue asked all the right questions about our wedding - she was thinking about everything down to the colors, theme, dietary restrictions, you name it! The food was also delicious. You can't go wrong with Sue and her amazing team! We can't wait to see you on our wedding day in January!

    Top First Class Service

    Straight to Plate was ABSOLUTELY amazing to work with. My wife and I used them to cater our dessert stations (donut/cannoli station) for our Wrigley Mansion Wedding. Brett and Sue were the best communicators and our guests absolutely loved them and the desserts. We are so excited to use them in our near future!

    Straight to the Plate Catering's reply:

    Eric, it was our absolute pleasure to be a part of your and Morgan's Wedding! We're delighted that everybody enjoyed our Build-Your-Own Cannoli Station and our Donut Machine! Thank you so much for asking us to be a part of your Wedding Day! Many blessings to you both!

    Phenomenal food and service

    Straight To The Plate traveled to Albuquerque NM to cater our daughters wedding that was held on December 1, 2018 at The National Museum of Nuclear Science & History and the food and service was phenomenal. We had experienced their food at a previous event in Arizona so when it was time to find a caterer for our daughters wedding they were the first we contacted. Traveling such a distance wasn’t normal for them however we worked things out so their delicious food was center stage at the reception. From delicious hot crab cakes, spicy buffalo dip to their tender flank steak, creamy chicken piccata and to die for 5 cheese Mac and cheese they went above and beyond what we had hoped for. Guests were able to enjoy as much food as they could hold because nothing was scrimped on by Straight To The Plate. Plus they also provided all the beautiful tableware for the reception which was one less thing we had to worry about. Guests complimented us on the food and service wanting our cateres information plus many hoped to learn the recipes for the 5 cheese Mac and cheese and their glazed bacon appetizers. My daughter and her new husband were thrilled with Straight To The Plate and couldn’t thank them enough for making their first family dinner such a huge success!!!

    Amazing - so glad we hired Straight to the Plate!

    Sue and her team were an incredible asset to my wedding. They patiently communicated with both my mother and I, who are quite Type A and probably not the easiest customers! They were friendly and sweet with us throughout the entire process leading up to our big night. They were also incredibly receptive to our ideas and vision for food.

    On the night of our wedding, the food was delicious and everyone raved about how good it was (especially the gyros!) One guest made the joke that it was the first wedding they did NOT leave feeling hungry. Before the STTP team left, one of the amazing workers approached me to thank me for letting them be apart of our day. I was humbled; they had done so much to make our wedding special. Both my mom and I (the primary planners of the wedding) were so happy with how things are turned out. I will recommend these caterers to anyone who asks.

    Straight to the Plate Catering's reply:

    Laura, we're so excited that we made everything special for your Wedding Day and First Meal as a New Family! We loved designing your guest experience with you and your Mom! We're so glad that the guests enjoyed all the food stations and especially the gyros and let you know how much they enjoyed the menu that you designed! Thank you for letting us know how happy you were with our services and for the 5 Star Review! We wish you and Dakota a life full of love, blessings, health and happiness! Thank you again for asking us to be a part of your Wedding Day! Sue and Team

    Sue and her team were absolutely amazing! All of our wedding guests raved about the food and the beauty of the place settings. Their menu is so unique and everything they prepare is absolutely delicious. The tastings were really nice because Sue sat down with us and got to know my fiance and I and was interested in all of the details of our wedding. She really worked hard to make it a perfect day for us. The Jalapeno infused lemonade was such a huge hit and perfect for our desert setting! Straight to the Plate was so fun to work with and very accommodating to all of my requests for our wedding day. The floral ice cubes they made for my signature drink were absolutely stunning! I am so thankful to the entire team for every detail they focused on to make it such a special day!

    The service, the food, the attention to detail was top notch! From my first conversation with Sue, I knew there was no contacting any other caterer. The southwest menu she created with chef Tony, was outstanding! Our guests are raving about our cocktail hour which included prepared on site, in front of you guacamole, quesadillas, passed shrimp and mango spoons, and empanadas with avocado crema. If you want the best food and service, contact Sue! Our meals were outstanding and everyone commented us on how delicious it all tasted. Thank you Sue and straight to the plate.

    I was SO nervous to use a caterer and straight to the plate blew my expectations out of the water! Everything they served was hot and fresh, even with a buffet for almost 200 guests. We had steak, salmon, and cheese tortellini and my guests were RAVING about the food all weekend. Their staff was attentive and accommodating to anything my husband and I asked for.

    We were extremely impressed with this vendor. We had our wedding at the Paseo and Straight to the Plate was the catering vendor included in our "all inclusive" package. They accommodated our unique request to have an all vegetarian wedding. They came up with an interesting and tasty vegetarian menu to satisfy ALL of our wedding guests. It was the best food I have ever had at a wedding!! They went above an beyond to make the buffet table beautiful, incorporating decorative items that went well with the bohemian theme of our wedding. Sue was a dream to work with and worked very well with our personal wedding planner. Being an out of town bride always has its challenges, but not when working with Straight to the Plate! I would recommend them to anyone with catering needs in the Phoenix area!

    Sue and her team were AMAZING! We had our wedding at The Paseo and this was our contracted caterer. There were so many food options to choose from that every palette would enjoy. They lay everything out and make it simple to make your choices. There is also a tasting so you are able to try the food before selecting it for your big day. The food was so great! All my guests loved it. I highly recommend Straight to the Plate- they will not disappoint!

    We used Straight to the Plate for our wedding as they are a preferred venue at The Paseo. Sue and her staff are really awesome! They were very professional and the food was great! We did a BBQ buffet style. They have so many options to chose from on their menu and will work with any budget. They are very easy to communicate with. Thank you Straight to The Plate for serving our first meal as a family!

    Lyndsey, thank you for the very kind words and for giving us the honor of being a part of your first meal as a new family! It was great to get to know you and Cody over the last several months and our entire team wishes you both the very best! Sue
