Rachel, Phyllis & team are excellent to work with! They were our venue and catering vendor for our wedding and really helped us to have the special day that we wanted! They are very flexible and accommodating and helped us deal with moving our wedding date due to the pandemic. They will work with you to make sure the event is what you want and present lots of options for layouts, food & beverage, lighting, etc. Highly recommend!

Our guests had amazing things to say about our food and we had a very easy time working with Rachel, Phylis and their staff. The team stepped in to make our event go perfectly smooth and everyone was incredibly kind throughout the process. I suggest booking with AYLI for any of your special meals.
Will add photos when we get them back

We found As You Like It through a Google search last year when we were planning our wedding and unsure if we wanted to use a catering company. We contacted Rachel and the gang to inquire and going with AYLI was one of the best wedding decisions we ever made. Let's start with the food-- it is DELICIOUS!! They have a wide variety to choose from and truly everything we tried was absolutely perfect. Phyllis and Rachel made it so hard to choose which dishes we wanted to serve because everything was so good. I am Filipina and Rachel was kind enough to serve lumpia and ube ice cream for us-- and boy it

Our wedding venue had two preferred catering services, and we went with As You Like It, and we are so blessed to have had the opportunity to work with Rachel, Phyllis and the team. From the day we met them to the day of our wedding, they treated us like family and with cordiality. We are very detail oriented and given the fluidity of the COVID-19 guidelines, we really appreciated Rachel and Phyllis' meticulous attention to the planning process and their expertise. Even when we had to change to a different location in our venue due to COVID-19 guidelines, we felt at ease because of the care they

Phyllis & Rachel have been catering our event for 300+ for nearly a decade. ALWAYS on time - food AMAZING (yesterday especially - TONS of compliments on the food) - ALWAYS a smiling face - and let me tell you - PROBLEM SOLVERS not problem makers. We have had challenges w/ venues for timing - We have had challenges w/ Mother Nature with the elements (DOWNPOURS) thru the years - and As you like it Catering ALWAYS 'calmly' puts me at ease that 'we can do this'. We will continue to use them for years to come!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
