Casual Encounters Catering

Fabulous food! Great servers

Last year the Casual Encounters team helped my office with our holiday party. It's hard to get a group of people to agree on a menu, and when a menu is put before people, there is usually someone who is unhappy in the group. Not with these guys. They came in, set up, and when it was all said and done cleaned up perfectly. The food was amazing, and we talked about it all year. I was really looking forward to working with them again this year, but location had to change. They are amazing people and the food is so so good. Super professional and made the whole holiday party experience wonderful. If I ever have the chance to use them again I will happily, and whenever anyone asks I'm happy to recommend them!

We recently hired Casual Encounters to cater our wedding of about 120 people. I cannot tell you how many people complimented the food! Our venue owner said it was the best wedding food he’s had. We would definitely recommend!

Absolutely perfect. Food presentation, quality, and taste were a ten out of ten. Derek was a joy to work with.

Casual encounters catered our fundraiser of 100 people. I got at least 11 compliments on the food and service. Derek was also really helpful while planning the food for the event. I would recommend them to anyone, 100%!

Derek and his staff were amazing! The food was wonderful and the service was outstanding. Very much worth it!

Working with Casual Encounters Catering went smoothly. Even though we had a small affair, Derek and Barbara gave us great attention and treatment. Everyone loved the menu they created. It helped make our day perfect.

Excellent food and services!

My sister booked Casual Encounters to cater my baby shower. They showed up on time and set up the food in a very aesthetic way. The food was very tasty (everyone raved about the smoked chicken salad). They then came and cleaned up the space after the shower was over. I would highly recommend.

Derek and his staff were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! The food and service was OUTSTANDING! I highly recommend Causal Encounters Catering! From the beginning with all the planning to the end, hands down Derek is the best!

We hired Casual Encounters to cater our baby shower. The food was wonderful and the display perfect. Everyone raved about it. Also, they were reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend their service.

Derek and his staff at Casual Encounters always do an amazing job on our unique catering requirements. The food quality is amazing and the constant communication between him and staff appreciated during the the event planning process.

Derek catered our 3-day workshop that we just completed today with breakfast and lunches. It was by far the best catered food I’ve ever experienced. It almost sounds wrong to call it catered. It was like fine dining quality and service of food. Derek takes pride quality, combination and presentation. His attention to detail and pride in his craft is apparent. Highly recommended. Thank you, Derek.

Derek catered our meals for a conference we attended and it was amazing! From the Mountain Berry juice in the morning to the meatloaf at lunch (yes- meatloaf!) it was delicious!
