Great food & experience!
From our first visit with Event Advantage Catering, we knew we had found the right team for our wedding. They were responsive and helpful throughout the planning process, answering every question with ease. On the day of our wedding, their service was seamless—the staff worked quietly in the background, making sure everything ran perfectly without getting in our way. The food was outstanding, and the desserts were honestly some of the best we've ever tasted. What impressed us most was how hardworking and efficient the entire team was, handling everything with such ease that our guests never had to worry about a thing. We'd absolutely recommend Event Advantage Catering to any couple looking for caterers who truly care about making their day special.

Horrible food and blindsided with tasting fee
This company is lacking professionalism and quality. We chatted with Louis and Caitlin over the phone to set up a tasting, talked about the menu and the items we wanted to try. We get to the tasting and neither Louis or Caitlin were on site. And the food served wasn’t what we agreed upon or worth the blindsided tasting fee of 100! The tasting fee wasn’t mentioned until after the service. The tri tip was grey and chewy, the pasta was bland and the sauce not mixed well. The chicken was over cooked. It wasn’t a great experience at all! Honestly the most horrible meal I’ve ever had. I can’t believe they are the Best of Zola.

Hi and thank you for your input. Firstly, Caitlin does not do tastings. We have a team that do and we had stated that on the day that you requested that Lou could not attend and you were fine with that. We state, Email and text that there is a $100 tasting fee that once booked will be credited the fee is credited to your account making the tasting....FREE. As well, most caterers' require 50% down vs we only ask for $250 to book and lock in your date. Also many charge $200 for the tasting and only allow 2 guests, where our tastings are $100 and you can bring 4 guests. We also do 2 Entrees, 4 sides and 4 appetizers. Typically, this meal for 4 would be $200. We discussed with the 2 employees that served you and they all got raving reviews of the food from you, so to later post a negative review is interesting. Please note our following awards and that I was the personal Chef to Arnold Schwarzenegger. We also won 2026 the Greatest of all Time from Wedding Pro.

Amazing Company
Event Advantage Catering was an amazing part of our wedding day! Being able to combine catering and DJ services meant less stress for us in the lead up to the big day and we loved having something lowkey on our menu. The two employees at our event were efficient, considerate, and knowledgeable. The DJ, Tony, made sure we didn't miss out on appetizers and brought us water while we were getting pictures taken. We made a few calls ahead of the day to get all the details right and it ended up being such an amazing part of the night, our friends took business cards for their own upcoming events too! I would definitely reccomend them to anyone in the area!
Louis Chiero•Apr 6, 2026
Hi Nico, Thank you so much for your kind words and for letting us be part of your wedding day! We’re so happy to hear that having both our catering and DJ services helped make the planning process easier and less stressful for you. That’s exactly the experience we hope to create for every couple. It means a lot to hear that our team took great care of you throughout the day, and we’ll be sure to pass your compliments along to Tony and the rest of the staff. Making sure our couples feel taken care of — even in the middle of photos and all the excitement — is so important to us. We truly appreciate your recommendation and are honored that your friends grabbed business cards for their upcoming events as well. Thank you again for trusting Event Advantage with such a special day. We wish you both a lifetime of happiness! Warmly, Louis Chiero Event Advantage

So much fun!
Louis was incredible! We used him for DJ services and he clearly had considered our music playlists and tastes, and mixed it with hits that everyone loved. He was also an incredible MC, and had lots of great ideas to keep our wedding moving along. Many guests commented on how much fun he was, and we loved the photo booth!

The absolute best team you can have at a wedding!!
Wow! First off, I want to say thank you so much Louis and your team for all the hard work you put into our wedding on 10.18.2025. From the start, we were doing a lot of diy, and it was a lot of people’s first wedding, so we were a bit lost at times. Louis was helping everyone stay organized, have suggestions, and went above and beyond. He even poured the drinks for our sweetheart table and helped with setting up the dessert table, which was a huge help since I forgot about it last minute! The music was awesome, bartender and his wife were amazing and so much help along with the rest of the team, especially with any last minute changes(such as figuring out the champagne toast which I totally forgot to mention!). The food was absolutely delicious and the brisket had everyone talking! Photo Booth was a hit! They were so flexible with any change that was made, and Louis just held it together for our entire wedding. We appreciate you all soooo much!! Thank you! We will be recommending you to everyone we know!
