    Chef Doug is great!

    Chef Doug and his team were well organized and a pleasure to work with. He responded timely to any questions I had and was willing to cook anything I asked for. The food was delicious and my guests were raving about it. His pricing was fantastic and beat any other vendors I inquired about in taste and price of food! Thanks for everything Chef Doug!

    Top Notch Caterer

    I found Chef Doug when attending a coworker’s wedding. I was so impressed that I hired him to do the catering for my daughter’s wedding. Doug arrived with his team and worked flawlessly on my daughter’s wedding day! We received many compliments on the food and the service. He worked with us on our budget and made the experience very pleasurable for all.

    Delicious and Professional!

    You guys. It was SO GOOD!!

    We hired Doug and his crew to do a plated meal for our wedding in Nov 2020. First of all, the food was delicious the night of--even better than when we went for the tasting. One of my bridesmaids is vegan, and she said it's the best wedding food she's ever had. It's also incredibly well-priced. We needed to do a plated meal because of covid, and I called all over to price compare. This is the best deal out there.

    Doug and his team were also simply wonderful to work with. The night of, everyone's seating got mixed up, which means they no longer knew which dishes needed to be served to which tables. They ran with it, and I hardly even heard that it had happened.

    5 star service and food!

    I had attended a wedding in 2019 where Chef Doug had catered and did not hesitate to reach out once I started my wedding planning process. I have family and friends still taking about the food more than a week after the wedding! Words can not describe how happy we were with the delicious food served and how amazing the service was provided for us on our wedding day.

    Amazing Food! Very Professional!

    Fun with Food Catering was the food vendor for my wedding in January, and we got so many compliments on how great the food was! Our venue was also an unfamiliar one to the owner and his staff, and he was very professional and set up meetings before the event to discuss his expectations and workflow. Him and his team even worked along great with the food staff that was already included with the venue!! The food was great, professionalism was great. We had a great time and had zero worries about our food. :)

    SO delicious!

    Doug was very helpful, my husband and I were able to create our own menu that suited our budget. The food was AMAZING, the staff was amazing. Couldn't have asked for more!

    Arguelles Wedding 9/21/19

    Where do I begin? Doug and his staff completely brought my wedding vision to life. My husband is Puerto Rican and I really wanted to incorporate traditional Puerto Rican dishes into our wedding food and he did it flawlessly. I had an abundance of positive feedback from our guests about the hors d'oeuvres, main dish, and desserts. Everyone was kind, responsive, and catered to our needs at every opportunity. We would recommend Doug and his staff to anyone. They exceeded our expectations and we are so appreciative.

    Thanks Doug! :)

    Delish! Chef Doug was great!

    Chef Doug and his staff were awesome. I gave him an idea of what I was thinking and he sent me the menu. I’m a professional chef myself and was very focused on the food that was being served. Everyone loved everything! My favorite was the shrimp and grits! Yum! His cost was wonderful too considering the variety we had!

    Musall Wedding

    Doug was the best! We knew we were going to love everything when we were just trying to put together a menu- he knew exactly what we wanted! The food was amazing all of our guests commented on how great it was and it was DELISH. They knew the bride wanted a certain app and made sure to bring us over some during our pictures because we were so excited to have it!

    Doug was absolutely amazing to work with. His attention to details & bringing my vision to life was spot on! Everyone is still raving about how wonderful the food was! Not only was the food AMAZING, the prices were FAR less than other quotes I had gotten. The staff were courteous & extremely attentive, making sure that we were taken care of as well...some times brides & grooms don't slow down long enough to eat, but they continued to check in & bring us food all evening. Such an amazing evening!

    Chef Doug and his staff were outstanding! We planned our wedding from out of state so we had one chance to meet with our vendors before our wedding. When we met with Chef Doug it would have been nice to have tasted some samples but he didn't know we wanted to.. We kind of took a leap of faith. However the food was absolutely perfect, at the right temperatues, and full of flavor. We wanted something all of our guests would remember from our wedding and I believe the food that night everyone will always remember! My family is still talking about how delicious everything was.

    Unbelievable food! Forget that it was for a wedding, and they had to drive a long way, and cater on a beach...this was restaurant-quality food.

    Weeks after our wedding, the one thing I STILL hear about the most (other than the beautiful sunset over the Gulf of Mexico) is how fantastic the food was. Every person at our wedding says the same thing...'that wasn't wedding food!'

    I HIGHLY recommend Doug and his team for any occasion...and definitely for your wedding! Get him booked now...you won't regret it!

    Everyone could not stop talking about how amazing the food was. By no means typical boring wedding food! We had a variety of dishes and every bite was better than the last! We can not say enough great things about chef Doug. From the tasting to him voluntarily wrapping up all the food at the end to send back to the after party he handled every detail and surpassed all our expectations. I can't wait to find another occasion to hire him for. I would recommend him to any and everyone! :)

    Chef Doug and his crew were amazing! Everyone kept telling us how amazing the food was. It was the best food I've ever had. They went above and beyond for the menu and the staff was very professional. They helped make our day perfect. They were worth every penny and they were still reasonably priced. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for the very best and unique to exactly what you're looking for!

    We were referred by our venue to Fun with Food. His food was AMAZING!! He created a personalized menu based on what we both enjoy eating and only serves his food on nice dishes with no extra charge. He also brought along a crew to help serve the food at no extra charge. It was one of the best meals I've had and we received several compliments from guests. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

    Chef Doug at Fun with Food Catering is a genius! We had a destination wedding in Sarasota, and with help from my wedding coordinator we decided Fun With Food would cater our small, special day! I was a little nervous because this company is strictly a catering company, therefore I had never tasted one thing they prepare before my wedding day. It was a hunch, am I could not be happier. This food is some of the best I've tasted and one of the best meals I have ever had. Food aside, Chef Doug was amazing as well! His rentals were delivered first thing in the morning, his staff was thorough and on point, and the Chef himself was extremely impressive. He was there all night to make sure everything went smoothly. When we had a couple changes to bring to him, he was more than happy to accommodate. I can not thank this company enough and I am still dreaming about the food!

    AWESOME! Who knew the food could be such a highlight of the wedding?!? Doug and his team were amazing. The food was unbelievable. Everyone raved about all of the food, especially the chicken waffles. The staff was so polite and pleasant and nice. I can't say enough about how great our experience was with Doug and Fun with Food Catering.

    Fun with Food Catering is the most amazing catering company I have ever dealt with. I work in Hospitality so that is telling you something! Doug Hitchings I had never met, but heard amazing things about him while planning my destination wedding in Anna Maria. Thankfully I took some advice and reached out to Doug! He is not only the best chef but an incredibly caring person. He will work with your budget and make the absolutely best tasting food you will ever have! My only regret was that I missed eating a big portion of the food at my wedding because we were so busy. I heard that my best friend ran back to the fondue three times and fought guests for the rest! We hired Doug and his incredibly customer oriented staff for our wedding and also for a brunch the next day. If anyone is
    looking to knock the socks off their guests with delicious food and customer service don't go anywhere else than Fun with Food Catering! Doug is the best in the business!! Thank you Doug to you and your staff for making our day beyond what we could ever have imagined when it came to food and service!

    You always want people to walk away from your wedding saying blah blah blah "the food was amazing!" Thanks to Doug Hitchings and his wonderful staff I am still hearing how awesome the food was. It was interesting, full of variety, and plenty to go around. If you're a "foodie," and want your food to be a focal piece and not just an after-though, Doug is your guy.

    The Wedding was Oct 16 2011, The Bride and Groom didnt pick out the menu till 1 week before the wedding and Doug was FANTASTIC! The night before we realized we needed napkins... Doug took care of it! The staff he brought were top notch and so respectful. The Food WAS AMAZING and beautiful.... Doug also provided the cake cutting and a bartender for our event and all was great. I also need to mention that when we priced around , his prices were so much more affordable. I will use them for our next event
