    Best Caterer

    I had Love at First Bite cater my wedding back in May and I cannot say enough good things about the service and food. First, I want to say that Ariana was amazing to work with in the planning phase. She answered all of my questions and accommodated all the changes I had throughout the process and was so easy to work with the entire time! When it came to day of, everything regarding food was perfect. For cocktail hour, I unfortunately, did not get to the baja grazing table before it was ravaged by my guests hahaha, but everyone I spoke to regarding the grazing table said it was amazing! And then I literally cannot stop thinking about the lemon ricotta crostini. I still get comments specifically about it from friends to this day. All the passed appetizers were so good and then dinner was even better. The staff the day of was amazing and had a plate ready for my husband and I as soon as we sat in our seats at reception. Everything really exceeded my expectations. Thank you so much!!!!!!

The food they serve is absolutely delicious, and the presentation is beautifully executed each time we see them. As a one-stop shop, they handle all the catering needs from start to finish, which is incredibly convenient and affordable. We were thrilled with the full-size servings and ample amount of food they provide for our guests. I would highly recommend Love At First Bite Catering to anyone!
