We used 3 C’s Catering for our wedding in October of 2025. We chose their Silver Menu, Buffet style allowing us two entree choices. All the food was delicious and we had no complaints.

Catering By Robert / Event Concepts . FL 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
  • Starts at $3,995
  • Serves Riverview, FL

We are small, established, award-winning catering and event planning company which specializes in weddings held on the West Coast of Florida. Our focus is on only 1 - 2 weddings a week with an average of 100 guests. We prefer to do limit our weddings so we can spend more quality time focusing on our clients.

Susan and her team were amazing! I started working with Susan in 2018 planning my daughter’s wedding. Covid cancelled the 2020 wedding, so let’s fast forward to October 2023! Five years working with Susan and her team! What can I say about Susan, from the beginning she made me feel like part of her family and she will always be part of our family. That means a lot when you connect with your vendors. When I met Susan, we clicked, and I knew she was the one to cater and help me plan my daughter’s wedding. Susan was there for me to get through the Covid nightmare and finish planning the 2023 wedding. Which was beautiful and elegant. When Covid hit the March 2020, the wedding was cancelled just about 2 weeks before the wedding date. Susan was there to help guide me with all the vendors and rescheduling. Susan went above and beyond to make my daughter’s day so perfect. She was always there for me for whatever I needed or had any questions and all the way from the numerous emails/pictures I would send, to all the planning and food tastings, which we loved and enjoyed. The food tasting helped us pick the food for the wedding. I love how customizable and creative Susan provided to us. The Catering was the most important thing for us at my daughter’s wedding and they blew it out of the park. They did not forget any detail which was very important to me. Too setting up on the wedding day to her team having the appetizers and cocktails waiting for Alex and Isiah and the wedding party after the ceremony & they also had their food plated (we had a buffet style) for them at dinner which made it incredibly easy for them to eat before they mingled with the guests. I wanted to be with my daughter getting ready on her special day, and Susan and her team did everything! Setting up all the tables and chairs to setting up all the centerpieces. They even packed up everything, we did not have to do one thing, everything was very well organized. Picking Susan was one of the best decisions I made, she even recommended other vendors for us. I highly recommend Susan from Catering by Robert. You would not regret working with her and her team. I could go on and on but truly thank you for everything, Susan. You are the best in the business!

  • Serves Riverview, FL

We’re all about the details. From the hospitality to the garnishes on the plate, we are committed to creating a one-of-a-kind experiences for you and your guests. What started as the vision of two friends, has quickly developed into a multi faceted company with a strong focus on one simple goal ; cultivate change and promote innovation within the hospitality industry.

We did not do a traditional sit down dinner for our wedding, but instead a lot of action stations. Saltblock worked with us to create a menu that felt entirely like us and even customized it with items that they currently did not offer. They are such great collaborators! Their pastry chef went above and beyond making our vision of a millefoglie cake come to life, which was built live at the wedding!! Our guests loved the smoking chamber for our old fashioned cocktail, just another way to elevate their service! Saltblock along with our wedding planner actually surprised us with a pickle fountain (an idea I threw out very last minute as a "I wish we could've done this") and boom they delivered!! Their onsite staff is absolutely incredible as well! If you want great food & amazing service, look no further!!

Y’all…. The grazing table…. THE GRAZING TABLE WAS JAW DROPPING. I absolutely cannot even convey… there are no words to express how fantastic Melissa and her team were from start to finish. They went so above and beyond and the food was perfect. We wanted to do a bbq Tex mex hybrid and they knocked it out of the park. They did grilled shrimp for me that was so flippin good!!! Their bbq is obviously delicious but the things they did for us that you wouldn’t expect from a bbq spot also stole the show. Definitely don’t think they are a one trick pony because they can do it all. They even included Italian in our tasting that we initially were going to use for our rehearsal until rehearsal plans fell through, their Italian food was great too!! Truly the most well rounded accommodating caterers we could have hoped for…. Oh!! They also did a milk and cookies bar our guests adored! Not to mention the bride and groom Togo boxes they had ready for us for our midnight snack. So thoughtful, so professional, SO DELICIOUS!!
