If you have the opportunity to work with Jeff at Convivial Catering for any event, do it! Jeff and his attentive staff catered our wedding this last summer and it was wonderful. Not only was the food delicious, but the presentation was beautiful as well.

Jeff was accommodating to work with from the very start. My groom and I wanted to serve food that highlighted both of our cultural backgrounds (Southern, Cuban and Portuguese) and that would also be appetizing to the many guests traveling here from different parts of the country. Jeff at Convivial worked with us to come up with a menu of buttermilk fried chicken sliders, mini pressed Cuban sandwiches and Portuguese shrimp cakes to serve as appetizers accompanied by fresh blanched green beans, amazing summer salad and both a vegetarian and seafood/meat paella for the main course. After the menu was created, Jeff prepared a delicious tasting for us which left us wanting more.

After the tasting Jeff was an excellent asset in helping to secure rentals, make bar suggestions, adjust numbers and scheduling etc based on what was needed. His courtesy and customer service throughout the entire process was great.

The day of the wedding the food turned out superb! Being that we were in a venue that had no kitchen or running water this was quite the accomplishment. Jeff and his staff built a kitchen on site that must have served all their needs because the food was spot on. I had many guest comments on how unique, fun and most of all delicious the food was. Even my vegetarian/ vegan friends exclaimed how the vegetable paella was the best wedding food they had ever been treated to! Jeff and his Convivial staff really went above and beyond to help us plan, organize and execute the best day ever! Thank you!!
