Food Experience catered our daughters wedding on October 30th 2021. We could not have been more thrilled with everything. The food was superb and the service was terrific. Thank you Matthew and everyone involved

To this day my guests STILL talk about how amazing the food was at our reception! Good Experience goes above and beyond for their Bride & Groom. They saved us from a catering nightmare and delivered the dinner of our dreams! Highly recommend for any event!

We hired Chef Tony and Food Experience for a Personal Chef 30th Birthday Dinner, and it was fabulous. From the quick response of Matthew in setting everything up and helping us create a delicious and diverse menu selection to Chef Tony's fantastic food and presentation, we loved everything about the experience.

Flawless! Matthew and Tony were very accommodating in creating a phenomenal dairy and gluten free 3 course meal and hors d'oeuvres for our wedding. Our meal was exquisite and served timely. Everything was on point, and Emily was incredibly attentive to anything we could possibly need! They packed up and labeled all the extra food, which my guests fought over in the following days. We are still talking about how delicious and perfect it was 5 months later!

We ordered catering from Tony for a few day get away in the mountains. The food was outstanding. I'm still thinking about the homemade croutons and tangy dressing in the Cesar salad. The soups, the lasagna and cheese/meat plates were a treat. I after every meal I'd yell TONY! It was that good.

Food experience did an amazing job catering my wedding! The guests raved about the taste of the food as well as the portion size! The catering staff set aside plates and left overs specifically for me and my husband. They also seemed to make a point to come to us first with the passed apps so we wouldn’t forget to eat. I absolutely highly recommend for wedding catering!

Matthew and Tony's food was delicious! Everyone kept asking for their name if they did carry out. I received a personalized menu that Matthew patiently requoted for me as our numbers changed. Food Experience helped with a lot including table set up, placement, cake cutting. They also made sure that my husband and I each had a full plate at our table when we sat down. So happy that we found them, they were great and so was the food!

Matthew and his team were incredible throughout the wedding process. Matthew was super helpful throughout the planning. He continually updated our quotes through many iterations and was a very helpful resource for any questions we had. Then they hosted us for a tasting months before our wedding and it was one of the best meals I've ever had. The food at the wedding did not disappoint either. From the appetizers and the main course, it was delicious. We got a lot of compliments from our guests about the food. The wait staff and the bartender at our wedding was also superb and incredibly nice.

We've had the pleasure of working maybe a dozen events with Matthew and his team, and let me tell you, these guys are awesome! The food is always wonderful and their staff is first rate. Always on time and always on point, they take really good care of all the guests and create an experience that everyone will remember as extremely positive. Highly recommended!

We just got married and used Food Experience to help cater our wedding. My favorite part of planning our big day was meeting with the Food Experience staff to sample different meal options. We ended up going with a pasta bar which was a big hit at our outdoor wedding and it was budget friendly. The food was good and the staff was great! I HIGHLY recommend letting them cater your next event.
