Exceptional on all accounts

One of the best decisions we made for our wedding, the quality of food, service and presentation were top notch. The owner and his team went above and beyond, I would recommend their services over and over.

Perfection

EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT! Our guests were non stop raving about the food, presentation, quality, taste etc. We had three dishes, beef, chicken and vegan. The beef-we did sirloin and one guest sliced it open and said “Now that’s how to cook beef!” The chicken was just as big a hit (Prosciutto stuffed chicken) and the vegan dish was a beautiful vegetable stack. The real star was the salad-it had non salad people complimenting it!
Overall I think they have great prices and options to have your bar included and they make sure there are plenty of staff.
We are very happy!

I would highly recommend Cynthia Brooks Catering to any of my brides. Having worked with them at various events, I have seen firsthand how happy the couples were. The food was delicious and their team of professionals was always available to answer questions. The staff is friendly and a pleasure to work with. Josh and I look forward to working future events with them.
