    Awarded Best of Zola
    My daughter discovered Christine's Plates for her wedding. We had some disheartening meetings with other vendors. After my daughter's first meeting with Latasha she was able to exhale. Finally she had a vendor that listened to her wants. As her mother I was thrilled. The food was so delicious and the service was top notch. Annie, our coordinator, took all the stress away from us and made my daughter's day magical. Katrina was everywhere! If a question popped into our head...Katrina was right there to answer or find the answer for us. Christine's Plates are professional from start to finish. Our family highly recommends the extraordinary ladies of Christine's Plates.
