We were on a very tight budget, and during our first meeting we were actually given recommendations on ways to lower our overall costs (rent linens as opposed to selecting a pricier package from the company, etc.). They also matched our garden theme perfectly; the beautifully decorated buffet table provided the perfect extra touch to the reception decorations. We were very impressed with everything, from the initial meeting to the tasting and especially the reception dinner. The meal was delicious and the staff was extremely courteous and helpful. Afterwards, I was surprised to see them helping to pack up decorations and put away chairs! The service was beyond excellent, and I have zero complaints: Can't wait to use them again!

I was so nervous having watched so many wedding shows about the dinner I chose and how it would taste the day of. I am here to rave about Affordable. They did an excellant job, All my guests just loved the stuffed chicken marsala. I couldnt stop hearing about how good the food was. I was so pleased. I couldnt be happier with my catering choice. They were very professional, punctual and kept great communication with me throught the whole planning process and have lots of differnt menu styles to fit your budget! Thanks for making my wedding amazing!! ~ Annette Harte

We absolutely loved working with Affordable Catering for our 11/12/11 wedding. They were so easy and a real pleasure to work with, very responsive to any emails we sent. We chose an appetizer menu for our cocktail reception, but in reality the food was good enough and there was enough of it to be considered a sit down meal. I love that they let you sub out choices in the menu, it let us customize the menu we wanted. The Sirloin roast we had was amazing, very tender and juicy. The sausage, pepper and onion bites were my absolute favorite, they had and amazing flavor. The service staff was very professional and kind to all of my guests. After the reception was over they packed up all the remaining food and sent it home with us. We were more than pleased with our experience with Affordable Catering, and would recommend them to anyone!

I love Affordable Catering! The food was amazing (everybody LOVED it), the staff was extremely accommodating and professional and sweet. They served the champagne, cut and served the cake. They were awesome. Tina is also very sweet and will help you create the perfect menu for your event. You won't regret going with them.

Everyone at Affordable Catering was great to work with and very professional. We were right on the money with the number of servings and based on the guests numbers. The staff was so sweet and all had a great sense of humor. The way they go all out to decorate the food tables is beautiful. Thanks so much Rosie for all your input and help!!! Nancy Yanez

EXCELLENT!!! The food was awesome and the service was great. During our meal I had several guests come to our table to say that the food was great. I think the highlight of our meal was the Chicken Anya....what a great dish. There was a small bump during dinner that was not the fault of the catering staff, but they jumped in and made sure everything was taken care of. The service was out of this world. We actually met Daphane at the tasting and I knew I wanted her to lead the catering staff for my wedding. So I requested her and I was glad I did. She was excellet. She did everything to make sure my husband and I were taken care of duirng and even after the reception. To book the catering I worked with Rosie who was also in the middle of planning her own wedding, but she was professional and responsive everytime I needed her. And even when she went off to get married she made sure I had a contact while she was out. Big kudos to Affordable Catering.

I used Affordable Catering because it was recommended to me and after using them I would recommend them to anyone. When I went in for my tasting my mom and I were greatly impressed, the food was great, the decor was amazing and the staff was great. Most of my guests were of spanish speaking language and when I went to my tasting I requested a spanish speaking staff and the staff that was provided to me was amazing!!!!! They were so professional and so sweet and they were always checking up on guests. I would recommend this catering company to anyone who is looking for a wonderful staff as well as wonderful food. The decor, staff, and food that was provided by Affordable Catering was amazing!!!!!

Another Mother of the Bride here. From the start to the finish,we could not have asked for a better caterer for my daughters wedding. They made sure that all our needs were net. As we mingled with our guest, many commented on the delicious food.The servers, bartenders and staff were great.

Affordable Catering was great! We used them very last minute and Tina was very helpful in getting us set up and booked in time! They have a wide variety of choices that you can customize and at great prices. They brought their own tables and everything they might need, so we didn't have to worry about providing anything. The food was good, my fav was the stuffed chicken marsala and the pecan crusted Mahi. The tortellini and the California salad with zin vin were great too. I wasn't thrilled about the scallop and shrimp skewer, but overall the food was wonderful. They even cut and served the cake! They were professional and really helped out! I would definitely recommend them!

I just used Affordable Catering for my wedding on 3/5/11. Their food was delicious and I am still getting compliments about it from friends and family!! I was very pleased they had a lot of Asian food options as my wedding was Japanese themed. The 3 servers were very friendly and professional. The cake cutting was free and they threw in a free entree since I signed them up at a bridal show. Leslie was amazing!! I would definitely recommend them to anyone!

Mother of the bride here, and as I did the wedding planning I'm making this post. All I can say about Affordable Catering is they were completely professional from beginning to finish. What I loved when I started to look up caterers is Affordable's menu selection. There was so much to choose from! The taste testing was so good that even though I'd decided to go a different route with the appetizers, I decided to use them instead. I sincerely felt that the prices WERE affordable! On the wedding day, the caterers were prompt, efficient, and extremely cognizant of our needs. We also hired our bar through Affordable, and the service was A+. I highly recommend this company for any of your catering needs.

Our guests are still talking about the delicious food that we had at our reception. The presentation, professionalism, and quality of the food was top notch. I couldn't say enough about my day of coordinator, Christine, she was awesome!!! She did such a beautiful job setting up the venue and working with my different vendors! This relieved me of much stress that day and I am truely thankful and happy that I had Christine there to help! Thanks again Affordable Catering!

Initially, I planned to go with Simply Gourmet, but their prices were just too high even after negotiating a lower price. Affordable catering was easily half the cost. While AC isn't as fancy, they provide an absolutely lovely spread and top-knotch service. I made all my arrangements with Leslie and the day of Daphne (I hope I'm getting her name right. She's a pretty, dark-skinned woman with curly hair.) was the lead on the catering staff the day of the wedding. The food was fantastic and the other caterer made sure that my groom and I were fed. Bravo and Five Stars for Affordable Catering!
