Best wedding food ever!! We had a great time at our tasting (and even got to bring a couple of friends) and the process working with East Coast Catering & Events was so smooth throughout. We had multiple changes to our menu due to budgeting and John handled everything in an efficient and helpful manner. Our guests loved the food and we did too. Thanks again!

We did a pasta dish and then a Spanish dish to celebrate my culture and it all was so yummy. Mishele was great to work with and she brought a great and very professional team with her. She was also so sweet and checked in on us during our wedding.

To start Mrs Tiffany & crew were asked at last minute to cater my son’s wedding. Literally 2 weeks prior. Throughout the short timing she kept in constant communication with the bride & us. Her presentation & the esthetics were far beyond what we could imagine. My son is in his honeymoon in Jamaica & still asking is there any more chicken left. The bartenders were top notch as every adult was very pleased. Tiffany went well above & beyond recognizing that the young couple didn’t consider a few necessary things. She went from Chef, to wedding planning, checking off all things needed. Im definitely using her again for future events.

Saveur Fresh Catering was an absolute lifesaver for our wedding day. 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.
