About

On WeddingWire since 2009

Catering By Robert / Event Concepts . FL is a full service catering and event planning company which offers a "one stop shop" experience for couples wanting VALUE in having one professional to handle the most important details of their wedding day.

Quality food and service are some of the most important aspects of your wedding day AND your budget.

If you have a venue secured, don't wait to book your catering! Our dates go quickly as we only host 1 - 2 events a week.

NO NEED to decide your exact number of guests, menu choices or final decor decisions RIGHT NOW. Our contracts lock in the date and current pricing for all package options. We don't need to know the details until two weeks prior to the wedding date.

We service the entire West Coast of Florida. What sets us apart is that we include everything needed for a first class celebration for the basic cost of catering. From floor length linens to chair covers, choice of over 30 guest table centerpieces, to fine china and a huge inventory of colored accent fabrics, we focus on how to create a custom-designed event for our clients.

Worked With Them From Out Of State To Help Our Big Day!

Catering By Robert handled our wedding, and while people raved about the food, I’d really like to call attention to the staff. They were beyond wonderful and friendly! And it wasn’t just Susan and Maryn, but every server, bartender, and staff member. We got compliments not just on the food, but their personalities as well. Beyond that, they provide so many different services in one easy, convenient package. We also planned this wedding almost 100% remotely from another state. Being able to work with them from so far away was a lifesaver!

Amazing catering experience!!!!!

Where to begin?  Catering by Robert/Event Concepts was, simply put, AMAZING!  That is the best way to describe our experience.  From price, to food, to how my daughter's wedding day went, Catering by Robert was just amazing.  Specifically, Susan Stalnaker (owner) coordinated everything and all went without a hitch.  Everyone loved the food and the staff was fantastic!  Susan's vast experience proved to be priceless during the entire process - from the first day we met with her to the day of the wedding - she made herself available to us.  We will definitely be using them again for our next event!!!! TEN STARS OUT OF TEN!!!!!

Best catering service hands down

From the start Catering by Robert has been the best. They truly made my wedding day spectacular. They have several tastings that you can attend which helps you figure out what you want for your wedding. They are truly a on stop shop from food, decorations to the day of coordinating. Susan is such a phenomenal women and she staff is fantastic. They deserve a 10/10 you will not be disappointed with the service you will get from Susan and he staff. Thank you so much for making my wedding day AMAZING!

The Time of Our Lives Band The Time of Our Lives Band Wedding Bands

Tonight our Jazz Trio (The Time of Our Lives Band) played at an Open House for Brides event that was produced by Catering By Robert. We were set up on the landing of the stairway, so we had a bird's eye view of everything that was going on, both inside the house; and we could also see everything going on outside through the huge french door windows. Susan at Catering by Robert had everything well organized and the place was hopping with vendors when we arrived. She knew where everyone was supposed to be and what they were supposed to be doing. It was amazing to watch. Exactly 30 minutes before the doors were to open, she did a final walkthrough of the house and thanks to her management skills, everything was ready! We were able to actually rest for a couple of moments before the brides came through the door! Even though we were the musicians for the evening, we were given a break and invited to go through the buffet ourselves. Wow, the food was absolutely amazing! My husband and I are vegan but our bassist and drummer are not - and we all had full plates! The mixed rice pilaf was to die for. The apple cobbler stuffing was amazing. But the mixed greens/walnuts/raspberries salad and the raspberry vinagrette dressing was the best salad I had ever experienced. I could have just fallen into the bowl with my mouth open! I ate two helpings! We took a tour of the house before we played our last set, and Susan's eye for detail could be seen everywhere. I just can't imagine having anyone else but Catering by Robert handle my next event. Susan's reputation preceeds her, and it is absolutely justified. She's fantastic and Robert's food is amazing!
