Food was excellent and plentiful.  Breakfast potatoes got MANY complicments so be sure to include in your brunch.  Don't expect left overs though.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Over the Labor Day weekend, we hosted a private party on the rooftop of our apartment building.

I received proposals from several caterers and chose Family Events, founded and operated by Carson Foreman.

To say that was a good choice is a HUGE understatement.

The food was terrific and he concocted a special drink that was consistent with the theme of our party. It was a huge hit. All our guests raved about the offerings. We are stilling getting positive feedback!

Perhaps what was even more important was his service and the planning leading up to our event. He listened, he understood our needs, and he showed flexibility as needed. Before our event began, we were totally convinced it would happen without a single glitch. That is exactly what happened.

Oh yes, his proposal was considerably less expensive that the others.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Family Events Catering hosted a wonderful multi course dinner for myself and my fiance on the night of our engagement. They developed a custom menu to match the Renaissance Fair/Medieval theme. The food was great, the service was friendly and extremely courteous, and they left the venue spotless when they finally headed out. They made what was already one of the most important weekends of my life into a magical one.

They did my brothers engagement party, which was ren fair themed, and really leaned into the theme (even making personalized art for the menu!) I wish i had better photos of the meal, but the truth is we ate it so quickly it dissappeared fast. Couldnt recommend enough!!!!!!!!!

They designed a custom Asian-themed menu for my client's 60th birthday party. The proposal process was smooth and easy; they were on time, professional, and had a great setup. All the guests said the food was delicious! We will definitely use them for future events!

We let him know we were inviting vegans, vegetarians, pescatarians, and carnivores, and he created something for everyone. All dishes were freshly made and expertly prepared. Owner was also very accomodating with last minute changes. Prices are also very reasonable, especially for the high level of quality.
