A Wedding Planners Dream Caterer

In this industry good help can be rather easy to find. But “good” is not what I intend to provide to my clients . My team promises EFFORTLESS and APC is one of the only caterer we trust to work alongside us to provide exceptional service to our clients. They truly live up to their name. Absolutely perfect. From the through planning to the intimate tastings, above and beyond floor plans, and the most pleasant staff on the day of, 100/10 . We look forward to working with Fred and the whole crew again real soon! -The Effortless Sentiments Team

Highly recommend!!

Leading up to our wedding, Sarah went above and beyond to answer every question I had and help make sure everything was exactly the way we wanted it, even at the last minute. On our wedding day, APC made sure my husband and I constantly had whatever we needed. They were always checking in to see if we'd gotten enough food, needed more drinks, etc. At the end of the night, they sent us home with more appetizers and desserts in addition to some of our cake, which was a nice surprise! Our guests also loved the food and signature drinks (which my husband, who is very picky about his mojitos, thought were amazing). We've received so many compliments and are so happy with APC's services!

Beyond Amazing!

From start to finish, working with Absolutely Perfect Catering was a dream. The company was extremely responsive, provided clear detailed instructions, were flexible with menu changes, and the food was incredible. On the day of the wedding, the catering team executed perfectly. As the bride, I got to try every appetizer, always had a drink in my hand, and was very taken care of. Additionally, the catering team took special care of both of our sets of parents and bridal party. I've also not been to many weddings where the food is actually delicious, and everything we had was amazing. The portion sizes were also significant. I cannot recommend Absolutely Perfect Catering enough. Josh and the entire team were wonderful to work with, and made the day so special!
