    Professional Service Team, Delicious Food!

    Leni, Nikki, Amy, and Chef Oscar provided a delicious and beautifully arranged spread for a first birthday this past weekend and it was everything we had imagined and more! From the very moment we contacted this team, their communication was clear, quick, and professional. They were very willing to work with us to provide on-theme, creative bites that tasted as good as they looked. The service was on-time, kept impeccably clean, and they provided a way for the client to take home leftovers at the end of the celebration. We will absolutely use this professional team again for future events!

    Flavorfull

    Perfect Pear did an amazing job! Not only were we able to taste all the food at our wedding in full! But, we got 8 boxes of left overs to take home with us! EVERYONE at the wedding was happy with the food, from the kids to the adults, everyone was going back for seconds and the food has so much flavor and was presented so well! The staff was on it! They made sure we had everything we needed as the bride and groom, to making sure all our guests got everything they needed, serving drinks, they also came and found us before our send off and thanked us/presented us with a cookbook! We were blown away, couldn’t not have picked a better caterer!

    Delicious food, great service!

    My experience with Perfect Pear was exceptional from start to finish. The menu selection was plentiful and we found just what we were looking for. The food was delicious and the guests were impressed. The service was top notch with quick response times.

    Most Delicious Catering Ever!

    Although we didn't have much time to sit down and eat at our wedding, The Perfect Pear team was essential in bringing us food as we were entertaining the guests! The food was absolutely fantastic and everyone just raved about the braised beef short rib and salmon. If you haven't tried shrimp and grit fritters, you MUST get them from The Perfect Pear!! We had an outdoor wedding, which in my mind I thought the food would be a disaster (because Florida and it was the coldest day of the year so far). But, I was so wrong. The team moved effortlessly through the space and it was almost like the just blended right in. We never even had a worry about the buffet table because everything was so well managed.

    10/10 would use them to cater a future party and want all of our friends to use them in the future

    Perfect Pear Catering absolutely NAILED IT!

    Perfect Pear catered my wedding reception of 65 people. From the start, Leni was so open and flexible with me. She allowed me to interchange certain items on her menu, handled my guest's food allergies and even incorporated a veggie burger slider in the 'Slider Station' upon my request. Leni and her entire crew were so professional the entire night! I didn't have to second guess what was happening for a minute, literally a bride's dream come true. Also, HUGE shoutout to Jeremy. Unfortunately, the bartender I hired did not show up and Jeremy handled it until we found a replacement. He checked in on the groom and I frequently to see if we needed anything, food or drink. Everyone at my wedding was floored by how amazing my catering company was and I can't say thank you enough to all of you! Would ABSOLUTELY hire them again!!

    The Perfect Pear Catering's reply:

    Nicole. The Perfect Pear wants to thank you for letting us be part of your special day. We strive to provide the highest quality of food but most of all we understand that customer service is extremely important. Congratulations on your new chapter. Thank you to your family and friends as they were so kind. The Perfect Pear catering company strives for high quality service with a stress free, professional service.

    The Perfect Caterers

    The Perfect Pear went above and beyond to make our wedding perfect. Working in abnormal conditions, split between extreme heat and an atypical house setup, the team was hospitable, supportive, and, of course, the food was delicious! They did so many personal things to make our day special that I can't even begin to list them all in one review. Just book them - you'll thank yourself later.

    The Perfect Pear Catering's reply:

    Liam, It was our pleasure to be part of your special day. Your family and friends were amazing. You Made The Perfect Pear feel like we were part of your family. Congratulations and Thank you for allowing us to celebrate your marriage.

    The team at the Perfect Pear was wonderful. They answered all of our questions leading up to the wedding and went above and beyond to help us determine how much and what kind of food we would need, as well as plenty of other details we never would have thought of without their help. They had worked with our venue previously and so were very helpful in working out logistics and complying with the venue's rules. We did not worry at all on the day of the wedding, because we knew the Perfect Pear team would take care of everything we discussed, and they did! I would highly recommend them for your catering needs.

    I happened upon The Perfect Pear in a google search while I was planning my youngest daughters wedding. This was my first experience planning a wedding, so I was understandably nervous. Verousce was AMAZING! She immediately calmed me down and helped me plan an affair my daughter will always remember. We knew we wanted something simple, classic and southern. She encouraged me to look at her Southern Station Menu. The menu consisted of three manned food stations, each offering a different style food. We had shrimp and grits, chicken and waffles and coco-cola brisket with macaroni and cheese. Because the stations were separate there was never a line! People chose the station that appealed most to them. She also designed a cocktail hour menu that reflected the style we were looking at. We had three passed hor d'oeuvres (fried green tomatoes with pimento cheese, buffalo chicken skewers with bleu cheese sauce and pulled pork slider biscuit with peach salsa). We also had a mini-grilled cheese station. Verousce offered a tasting where we we able to sample everything and let me tell you everything was AMAZING! People are still raving about the food. She also provided a non-alcoholic beverage bar and a coffee service for dessert. Do not hesitate to use this vendor! I promise you will not be disappointed!

    Verousce and her team were hands-down our easiest vendor. Verousce provided easy to understand proposals, made changes in a timely manner, and was on point with communications. She created a spectacular menu for our brunch wedding that we were happy to eat over and over again for the next week from the leftovers. Verousce was so easy to work with and so flexible, we can't recommend her enough.

    Seriously, just stop now. You've found the best caterer. The food was amazing, the service top-notch, and every step of the way Verousce was friendly, professional, and helpful. All of our guests raved about the food, which included appetizers (do not miss out on the honey-sriracha mac n cheese bites!), 3 different entrees (2 vegetarian), salad (yum!), and 4 small desserts, in addition to wedding cake. This was the most stress-free part of the wedding planning and of the day itself.

    We booked a private, family dinner to celebrate my parents’ 65th wedding anniversary. Unfortunately, the event had to be cancelled, due to the evacuation a couple days beforehand, for Hurricane Matthew. While we have, therefore, not yet had the opportunity to enjoy the service and cooking of The Perfect Pear, they were a pleasure to deal with in preparing for the event. What’s more, Verousce and her team were most accommodating when we had to change our plans. Even though the weather, by the planned date had turned beautiful in Jacksonville, flight cancellations had made it impossible for most of us to arrive in time. Verousce was completely understanding and, in the circumstances, was quick to offer a refund. We look forward to our next opportunity to gather in town and hire The Perfect Pear!

    Flexible and accommodating for a destination wedding

    Leni was very responsive via phone and email, and flexible and accommodating with all of our Covid requests and destination wedding planning questions. Our food was delicious, and the staff at our home during the wedding evening were very professional and helpful.

    The Perfect Pear catered our daughter's wedding at Walker's Landing, Amelia Island, and it was over the top. From the beginning of the process, I felt at ease working with Anne. She was very helpful with ​choosing the​ menu and ​also suggested possible tableware options to go with.
    The tasting was wonderful with Chef Verousce & staff, and I knew that I had made the right decision in going with The Perfect Pear. On the day of the wedding, Chef Verousce & her staff were both professional with a much appreciated personal touch. The food was delicious and the shrimp 'n grit shooters were a big hit with guests! The Perfect Pear carried the load of the food & service so that I could enjoy the evening!

    The Perfect Pear catered our December 12th wedding and people are still raving about the food. As a foodie, the meal was one of the most important parts of the day for me...I really wanted our guests to have an awesome food experience. The team worked with us to create a custom menu based on our budget and we couldn't have been happier with the result. We did a bruschetta bar for cocktail hour which was a big hit, passed hors d'oeuvres (our favorite was the short rib slider) and three stations for dinner. The favorites from our guests were the shrimp and grits bar and the chicken and waffles station...both were AMAZING and were a special touch to our southern style menu. The staff was great to work with during the planning stages and staff onsite for the wedding were very attentive - even bringing the groom and I food during every stage to make sure we were also able to enjoy the food! They also made a special meal for our two vegan guests. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend them for your next event!

    The Perfect Pear made my amazing wedding cake and french macaron tower combo. After contacting several bakeries and feeling discouraged because none of them felt they could execute my idea, the Perfect Pear really made it all come together. I could not have asked for a better and more beautiful day and they really helped play a big part in it. :)

    The entire team was great to work with! They accommodated my entire planning crew (aka my family) for the tasting and it was a wonderful experience. Hard to choose from all the great flavors! We had a specific design in mind and they recreated it perfectly. We were able to do one flavor for my husband and I and a separate flavor for our guests. Everyone loved it!! Thank you for a wonderful experience!
