I cannot say enough good things!

Jaki truly made me feel like the only bride in the world. I got married at Church Point Manor on August 12th, 2023, and was in search of an offsite catering team. As soon as I met Jaki, I knew it was right. She was able to answer my questions before I knew them, keep us within our budget, and help create a fun and different menu for our wedding. She was wonderful to work with throughout the entire planning process. On the day of the event, her and her team were unstoppable. They were there early to help setup and ensure everything was perfect (which it was). Not only were they so helpful and friendly, but the food was absolutely AMAZING. You never know how the food will be at a large social event, but it exceeded our expectations by 10000. The catering team even made plates for me and my husband so we could mingle and didn't have to do anything ourselves; they always made sure we had a full drink in our hands.

I learned a lot about hospitality from the crew at Grand Affairs, and will never forget how special they made us feel. They feel like family now, and I will always recommend them.

Look no further!! Perfect caterer right here!

I could talk forever about Grand Affairs and how absolutely incredible they are. The patience, knowledge and love alone that we received from Grand Affairs as a whole was enough to keep us coming back. Each step of the way, every member of the staff went above and beyond, and truly made sure everything went off without a hitch.
We got married at another venue, so we utilized Grand Affairs for their off-site catering. At the start, I worked primarily with Jaki and Whitney. They got the basic information for our wedding and assisted us with building the menu of our dreams. There were certain things that we were unsure of with decor and general information, but they helped us to figure out and fill out those areas with ease.
The patience they showed us through multiple meetings and continuous back and forth conversations was so meaningful. I felt like a high-maintenance bride due to my inexperience in certain areas and my mountains of questions, but never once was I treated like I was too much for them. I was only treated with kindness and compassion throughout the entire process.
We were lucky enough to have attended an off-site event for a friend of ours that used Grand Affairs to cater their event before our wedding. At this event, we had the opportunity to meet their off-site team, and they were so informative and enthusiastic about our upcoming wedding. For our final meeting with our venue, Jaki brought multiple people from their catering team to visit the venue, get comfortable and make sure we were all on the same page for the day of the wedding. They also continued to answer more of the questions I had.
By the time the wedding came, I felt like I really knew the team. They felt like family! Before the wedding they were there early setting tables up and preparing everything. After the ceremony, they assisted with the flip of the room from ceremony to reception which was something I was stressing about prior to booking them. They did it quickly and efficiently and I am so grateful.
During the wedding they were incredibly attentive to me and my husband, and made sure we had food and drink all evening. I am one of the few brides that can say I didn't starve at my wedding and was taken care of!
Speaking of food... OH MY GOODNESS!! Their food is so delicious! I wish I could have them cater my everyday life. I would never get tired of their food. For our wedding, we provided GA with the allergies we had for over 100 guests, and they were able to provide us with lactose-free, gluten-free and vegetarian friendly options! They even accommodated our son who can be a picky eater. We received so many compliments on their service and the food.
Their attention to detail was phenomenal, and their staff was the best I've seen. No amount of thanks will ever be enough for all that they did for us. I can't recommend Grand Affairs enough. I know for a fact I will use them for all future events.
BOOK THEM!

Venue was beautiful

I can write a book about the Grand Affairs. The staff, The food, the venue was amazing. I booked sight unseen and I was scared but between speaking with Ms. Jaki and my coordinator I felt so good to have my ceremony at that location. It was amazing.
