Catering Capers - Tallahassee, Florida

This will be a detailed posting. I hire based on reviews when I don't know the company. This company came highly recommended by several clients and, after reading the reviews, I hired them to cater my small wedding this past weekend.

The Good: The food was superb. It's innovative, creative and very tasty. Chef Justin received many, many compliments from my guests. The servers were punctual, polite and professional.

The Bad: They had to be asked multiple times to place the linen on the main table so the cake, florist and photographer could finish what they needed. I finally had to come out from dressing to tell them to get that done.

On reporting this to the sales manager, she advised we didn't reserve linens (we did) from a conversation she remembered. I sent the estimate showing rental of six linens and the cost. No response back. The attitude was testy and drew the line of politeness thinly.

We had ordered 12 different appetizers and planned on my husband and I eating after the wedding. When we came in, all the food was gone, not left for us. They had packed everything up and put it in the van. I asked why. She offered to bring in a care package that had 10 pieces.

On advising the sales person of this, she indicated the servers told her there was very little food left. But I had two ladies staying with the cake on the same table, and they indicated otherwise; that there was plenty to be left for my husband and I. The sale manager reported her employees told them only a few tired fruit pieces and crab stuffed mushrooms were left, but the care package she brought in had all the other stuff as well. So, I'm not sure who to believe at this point.

We paid $3000 for the catering and ended up eating 10 pieces and then a sandwich post wedding, which neither of us were happy about.

I would hire them again, but would make sure I had a person there to supervise and make sure all the food stayed. Also, tell the servers on arrival that all the food stayed.

We also kept getting "review your estimate and pay" notifications by email up to two days before the wedding which was very annoying as we had paid the deposit and the balance five weeks before the wedding.

So, to close, I would hire them again with some caveats. And hopefully future brides/party givers will read this and act accordingly.

We had an amazing experience with Catering Capers!! They catered our wedding of 160 people and everyone could not stop raving about how good the food and service was. Everyone got a warm plate of food and many said it was the best wedding food they have ever had! The appetizers were also so delicious! I cannot say enough good things!

We had an amazing experience with Catering Capers for our intimate wedding! Everyone in our family enjoyed the food and ESPECIALLY the service. I do not remember the ladies’ names (one of them was Karlie I believe) but they were extremely sweet and provided great service. We were SUPER IMPRESSED with the service. The chefs were extremely friendly and personable! The food was delicious! The steak could have been cooked longer but they were happy to do it if asked. Everything was inclusive (china, goblets, napkins, cutlery). Thank you for making this an easy experience and one to remember. And thank you to Cameo for being so patient and kind throughout the booking experience. Highly recommend.

I work at an event venue and I see a lot of different catering companies and this one is the best one yet! The hospitality that their staff has is incredible. Very kind and always willing to help even when it’s not their job. Wonderful food as well!

Catering Capers is wonderful to work with no matter the size of your event. Their team has the experience to support you through each detail of planning the menu, the look of the table to match your event theme, and last minute changes. I'm so glad we had them cater our recent auction & gala for over 200 attendees.

Catering Capers catered our wedding on April 27, 2024. Months before the wedding, they put together a menu for us and invited us to a very nice and intimate tasting so we could sample the food being served at our wedding. It was love at first bite! The food the day of the wedding was no different. Everyone was raving about it! We had people tell us it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful! The caterers were also very attentive to us, making sure we had everything we needed throughout dinner. They even made sure to send us home with a box of our favorite appetizers afterwards! We highly recommend Catering Capers for your next event. You, your guests, and their tastebuds will thank us later!

Catering Capers catered my wedding. They worked with me to make sure I liked all the food for the dinner at the tasting and adjusted anything we wanted to be changed.
The food came out hot and was delicious! So many people made comments to my family after the wedding about how wonderful the food was.
Thank you Catering Capers for your wonderful service and food!
