Ann and the Avalon team were wonderful in catering our wedding! We originally had planned for over 200 guests in May 2020, but rescheduled and changed venues 3 times due to COVID, and ended up with around 50 guests. Ann and her team were flexible, understanding, and so responsive. Our guests loved our food and bar service, and Avalon created a wonderful menu to honor my husband's Afro-Caribbean roots. We loved their food, staffing, and communication, and highly recommend choosing them for your events and weddings!

We recently had Avalon cater our office holiday party. The attention and detail to how the food was presented was not only beautiful but the quality of the food was the icing on the cake. Everything we ordered was delicious! We will use Avalon Catering for all of our upcoming events. Ann was a pleasure to work with. Keep up the great work!

I hired Avalon for the first time for a milestone bday party for 22 person sit down dinner with passed appetizers. What a treat! The staff was amazing and the food even better! Fried chicken bites with habernero honey glaze...ohh la la! It was such a treat to be served in my own house by a professional staff and bartender. I HIGHLY recommend Avalon catering!

Our first caterer cancelled just a few months prior to our wedding date, leaving us scrambling to find a new one. The Avalon team was responsive and personable from the get-go and took the time to understand our vision for the wedding and the food, which was very important to us! Everything on the day of the event ran smoothly, and our guests have raved about the food and especially the friendly food/bar staff. We are so happy Avalon ended up catering our special day!

Avalon is my consistent go to for years. The good quality and freshness of the food, options (including diet restrictions DF, NF, GF), and amount of food are always consistently amazing. The value is really pretty amazing too considering a lot of the ingredients are organic. We have used Avalon to cater large Christmas parties precovid for years. Avalon's staff were wonderful to work with. They are friendly, neat, and make everything run smoothly. They presentation and extra decor add to the value and presentation. We will continue to support this wonderful caterer and feel they have become

OUTSTANDING experience overall with Avalon Catering! The food was exceptional and everything about the service with Kathy and Ann was superb. Every single person raved about the food in our dinner party and we enjoyed every minute of it ourselves with a meal that was easy to serve and required so little work on our side. Will definitely be a repeat customer!!

The Avalon team absolutely killed it and we were very impressed with all of the food. I have only amazing things to say about my experience with Avalon. Honestly, I don't know if i've ever worked with such a buttoned up, professional, accommodating catering team... and the food was the cherry on top!

We have catered several events with them and we were very surprised at what happened with our last order with them. We had a small group coming over for a family dinner and decided that we would get their equivalent of a takeout. We ordered enough food for about 30 people but didn't feel we needed the servers, and picked up the food. We went to their main office, but apparently the pick up spot is several doors down. When we couldn't find anyone at the main office we called their number, and no one answered. We were fortunate to drive around the strip mall and find where they had their

We used Cathy Conway and Avalon Catering for my daughter's wedding last weekend. They were outstanding! The food was delicious, the service impeccable, the presentation elegant. But, the true test was their performance when Hurricane Joaquin visited the weekend of the outdoor wedding. Our plans shifted, then shifted again. Cathy took it in stride, flipping the tent in record time, dealt with serving and clean up in grass that had turned to mud in places. The Avalon staff was professional, efficient, and friendly. From the beginning of the process (menu selection, tailoring some

Avalon and Cathy specifically were a delight to work with from start to finish. She worked with us to create a special menu for our New Year's Eve Wedding Reception. The food was amazing. Guests wrote me after the event to tell me how good the food was! The presentation gorgeous and she worked with our décor. They took care of everything down to the little details that were important to me....with zero stress. I could really trust her. I definitely recommend them! And their prices are very reasonable as well when everyone else was trying to over-charge us for New Years.
Thank you Cathy and

Avalon recently catered a holiday luncheon for our office staff. The experience was outstanding, from start to finish. Ann was helpful, professional, available, and timely in her assistance in lining up the event and menu. The food itself was delicious. We received so many comments from our staff regarding how fabulous the meal was this year. Set up and service on the day of the event was seamless. The on site group was prepared and knowledgable. The entire experience was a pleasure. We will certainly use them again.

We worked with Avalon for our wedding ceremony (70 guests) in December of 2012, and we couldn't have been happier. They were one of the less expensive caterers in our search, but you certainly couldn't tell from the experience we had! Cathy was pleasant, flexible and patient as we went through the process of figuring out what we wanted, and we appreciated that she tried to incorporate local and seasonal ingredients into her menus. Both the passed hors d'oeuvres and the buffet service went smoothly, and our guests raved that it was some of the best wedding food they had ever had

The food was excellent and the service refined. Avalon focuses on locally grown and organic food, which means a lot to us.
Cathy was responsive, attentive to special dietary needs, and generally helpful with planning, beyond simply choosing a menu and cooking and serving food. We had a simple, laid-back wedding, but my mom insisted on spending more on food, and I'm glad we did. I strongly recommend checking out Avalon, and using them if the price is within your range. You may want to minimize peripheral a la carte services if cost is an issue.

Avalon just catered a dinner for 120-kids and adults. The food was as good as it could be. They make everything delicous and with a "gourmet" touch. Everyone was raving. The servers were incredibly friendly and helpful. They went above and beyond-helping me chill wine and make coffee and whatever else was needed. I worked with Ann to plan the event and she was great at helping me plan a menu that would fit the meal I had in mind and also fit my budget.

Avalon catered our wedding back in October and did a great job. Cathy and Ann were great to work with throughout the planning period, prompt to respond to emails etc. On the actual day of our friends and family were there to let them in and get everything set up while my wife and I were doing pre wedding photos. When we arrived everything was setup beautifully for the buffet service, all of the glasses were ready with ice for tea or water, and the bartender was serving drinks on the patio to the attendees.
We barely noticed the servers at the actual wedding but they kept the buffet stocked, cleaned
