Professional and Responsive

The team at Taste Events was flawless for our wedding day! I would highly recommend them, from customized menus to the professionalism of the staff. I had multiple friend and family at the event (come to me afterwards) and share how kind and helpful staff was to not only get drinks but food/apps while people were waiting in lines for food, or just in the raw bar line. Our contact for the day of was very helpful with ideas and ways to serve guests, and she was also extremely responsive (which I appreciated), as we were making last minute alterations to the offerings for guests.

Katie Ogilvie and Taste were an exceptional choice for my wedding! Growing up in Bethany, I knew all of the Commonground restuarants provide wonderful service, so I was very excited to work with them. Guest raved about the food and the service!

Before my hubsand and I could anticipate what we needed during the planning and day of, she was there to provide assistance. I would recommend Taste to anyone!
