It has been a month since my son and new daughter's wedding and I just wanted to tell you that the catering was superb! The food was delicious, the charcuterie table arrangement was beautiful, and your staff was very professional to work with. Not only was everything that was promised delivered, there were extras thrown in as well that made the event even more special. I feel for everything you did for us, making sure that all the details were perfectly executed, made the value of the service you provided more than worth the expense it cost me. Your knowledge of event planning and your professional, friendly approach made the major part of the reception delightful. The best part of all, was when my new daughter in-law told me that the wedding was even better than she had hoped it would be!

Haute Eats Catering was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, their communication was incredibly prompt and responsive, and the chef listened closely to every detail we wanted to incorporate. Their work was truly superb - the food was not only delicious and perfectly seasoned, but also beautifully presented in an elegant and creative way. When our cake was unfortunately ruined in transit, the Haute Eats team sprang into action, quickly purchasing several cakes and edible flowers from Publix and designing us a lovely replacement cake on the spot. It may not have been perfect, but their attentive and fun approach ensured we still had a wonderful cake for our special day. The entire staff was wonderful and kind throughout the event, and we could not have been happier with the exceptional service and value that Haute Eats provided.

We created Embellished years ago for our friends and family to share in creating some of Tampa's budget friendly but beautiful weddings and events. We have provided over 1 million meals to guest at weddings, birthday, celebration of life, corporate, holiday, and all kinds of small to large celebrations.

We chose Embelished on a recommendation of someone who had used them, and other reviews. We had no idea how great they would be. I had been in the catering business in the Midwest for over 25 years, and Embelished exceeded our expectations in every way. Phone conversation were great, and follow ups returned promptly. While my daughter and fiancé were the only ones at the tasting, they came back thrilled. Wedding day, the team showed up right on time, set up outdoor chairs and began doing place settings. They worked with serving walk around plates of hors d’oeuvres, plus a charcuterie board during family photos. The meal of beef tenderloin and lemon chicken were fantastic. They supplied EVERYTHING WE NEEDED. The staff was friendly, helpful and left the kitchen used cleaner than when they arrived. I highly recommend Embelished.

At The Grazing Pony, family has always been the heart of everything we do, including the inspiration behind our name. Aspen, our founder’s beloved horse, represents the warmth, charm, and sense of community that we strive to bring to every event. In June of 2024, our founder made the bold decision to leave a successful marketing career to be more present at home, yet still wanted to channel her passion, creativity, and event planning expertise into something meaningful. This business is the perfect blend of both worlds, allowing her to be a stay-at-home mom while continuing to create memorable experiences for others.

The Grazing Pony made my shower so special with their bottomless cannoli! We loved that they were able to take our favorite desserts and turn them into creative cannoli flavors. It was such a unique twist and way more memorable than just setting out cupcakes. My guests are still talking about it, and it was the perfect sweet touch to the day!

In addition, we tasted all the meats and sides for a BBQ buffet. We chose pulled pork, chicken quarters and added brisket. Our 3 sides were mac & cheese, collard greens and potato salad w/ cornbread. They were ALL delicious. Our guests raved about everything and especially the greens! We also opted for a grazing table for our guests. It was beautifully presented and absolutely beautiful and delicious. Our guests were in awe! She even made us our own plate because she knew we were busy talking with our guests.
