“Word of Mouth BBQ was exceptional and we had them for our wedding reception this September. We actually were at another wedding that they catered originally and the food was fantastic so we decided to hire them for our reception. We worked with Cheryl the owner of the company from the beginning and she was so lovely to work with and talk to. She answered all of our questions, was so helpful and the communication was absolutely fantastic the entire time. For the amazing quality of food they provide they are in my opinion extremely affordable. Our guests could not stop complimenting us on how good the food was. Their team of workers were onsite cooking the food at our venue all day, then worked so hard all night long to take care of us. They were organized and really great at what they do from the setup to serving the over 200 guests and keeping that flow going well, restocking, making sure we had everything we needed, to clean up and packing up. They were all so nice and you could tell how hard they all worked during that day. Truly word of mouth, could not recommend them enough and hope we can continue to use them in the future again. We still cannot get over how consistent and delicious their food is every single time we have it and are so happy with chose them for our catering services.”

After our originally hired caterer cancelled on us last minute, Chef Chris and his team at Saveur Fresh stepped in and saved the day. Their communication was quick, streamlined, and courteous throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was outstanding, excellent, and truly top-notch. I will forever be so very grateful to Saveur Fresh and Chef Chris - they kept my wife's dream wedding alive when it seemed like it was going to be a disaster.
