    Wonderful!

    Working with A Taste of Excellence Catering was a wonderful choice for our wedding reception. Even though their responses took a bit longer than expected, they were always kind and helpful when we connected with them. Once the big day arrived, their efficiency was clear—everything ran smoothly and the dinner they prepared was absolutely delicious. The bartenders were fantastic and kept our guests happy all night. What really impressed us was how generous the portions were and how beautiful each plate looked. We'd definitely recommend them to other couples planning their weddings.

    Delicious Food & Great Management

    A Taste of Excellence catered our wedding and the food was outstanding. Emily Bockus handled everything, she even coordinated our linens directly, which took one more thing off our plate. Service was smooth, the bar was great, and our guests complimented the food all night. Professional, friendly, and completely stress-free on the day. Highly recommend. Most people leave weddings and don't remember what they ate, I still have guests a month later complimenting how delicious the dinner was.

    AMAZING!!

    Taste of Excellence truly lived up to their name—our wedding food was out of this world! Lindsay, our sales manager, was absolutely wonderful to work with and made the entire planning process seamless. The staff was incredible, attentive, and professional, making sure everything went perfectly from start to finish. We could not have asked for a better wedding day experience and will absolutely use them again in the future!

    Food was delicious!

    Taste was amazing for our wedding! Mikaela was great to work with throughout the wedding planning process and even helped accommodate a second food tasting for us when my parents wanted to change course on all the food we’d originally picked after our first tasting lol. The food on our wedding night was delicious and we’ve gotten so many compliments from our guests that they loved the food! We had the new york strip steak, blackened chicken with pesto, lemon chicken, and tomato florentine. Amanda was our day-of manager and she was so sweet and checked in with us multiple times to see if we needed anything or wanted more of any food which was so great of her! I’d recommend them a thousand times over for your event!
