    Amazing experience!!!

    Chef Waves was truly one of the best parts of our wedding day. From the beginning, she made us feel cared for and completely confident everything would turn out amazing — and it absolutely did. The food was incredible, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. Our guests are still talking about how good everything was. You can genuinely tell she puts her heart into what she does. We are so grateful she was part of such an important day in our lives and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for amazing food and an even better experience.

    I would definitely recommend!

    From the moment we started planning with Waves Bistro, Patrice made the entire process stress-free with clear communication and genuine flexibility. She brought a positive energy to every conversation and treated our vision with real care and attention. On our wedding day, everything came together beautifully the food was exceptional, the service was seamless, and our guests felt welcomed and taken care of from start to finish. Patrice is very detail oriented professionals who clearly know what they're doing, and their pricing is incredibly fair for the quality you get. We can't thank them enough for making our day memorable and enjoyable. Waves Bistro is an absolute must if you're looking for a caterer who actually listens and delivers.

    Wedding

    There are so many great things to say about this company and service. I felt like I did not need to lift a finger all evening. They even assisted me with parts of the event that would not be their responsibility. They were kind, professional, polite, and made our dinner amazing! They are my go-to people for catering events! The owner is super personable attentive, and I think it is amazing that she shows up at the events and interacts with the customers. You can tell she takes pride in what she does. Food of course was AMAZING!! Love this catering company Waves Thank you so much for everything and cant wait to book again

    Best catering ever

    My husband and I had an incredible experience with WAVES BISTRO as our wedding caterer. From our first conversation, the team was responsive and genuinely invested in making our day special, even working with me on menu substitutions due to my allergies without any hassle. The food was outstanding, and their willingness to offer tastings beforehand gave us complete confidence in what we'd be serving our guests. Beyond just catering, they went above and beyond by helping us set up other details throughout the event and staying until the very end to make sure everything ran smoothly. We were so impressed that we've already recommended them to friends and family, and we're planning to use them for future events as well. If you're looking for a caterer who cares about your vision and delivers exceptional service, WAVES BISTRO is the way to go.

    Baby shower catering

    I had about 80-85 people at my baby shower. I met chef from Zola even though she’s a wedding caterer. Hands down one of the nicest business owners. Her staff are young and energetic. We haven’t had any negative experiences with the company. She has now catered my mom’s birthday party and bridal shower. Her food and presentation is great. She’s Caribbean like my family and i and the flavors are there. She discounted a service for and even included a grazing table. The recent influx of negative reviews seems to come from people not correctly reading contracts or miscommunication. I love to support black businesses and know there could be mishaps but if you book this company you see immediately how sweet and professional the chef is and how great the food is
