Catering By Robert / Event Concepts & Catering . FL

The absolute BEST catering in Tampa! The food is great, but most importantly Susan and Marin are exactly who you want in charge of catering for your wedding. There are so many details that go into a wedding and the food is the most important, who you hire to manage this is the most important decision you will make in my opinion. My wedding would not have been the same without their care, patience, work ethic, and quality. I loved the Paella, Mojo pork, green beans, and baked ziti, and one of my guests said it was the best food they've had at a wedding. My wedding was incredible because of all their hard work!

Catering by Robert was truly so amazing throughout our planning process and executing everything perfectly on our wedding day. Susan, who we were in most contact with and her day of coordinator went above and beyond to make sure I was care free on wedding day. Not only was the coordinating and planning perfect but the food that we chose was delicious! All of our guests agreed. Book them they are well worth the price especially for everything that is included in the package. I could go on and on about how amazing they are but words truly wouldn’t even do them justice. They are AMAZING!

After my first time meeting Susan, I knew I would be writing a five-star review. Now that the wedding has come and gone, I am grateful to have the opportunity to tell the masses how much of a gem this company is. My experience working with Catering by Robert was flawless. If you are looking for a caterer who goes above and beyond, this is the right pick. Every single individual, from Susan to Maryn to the other wonderful staff members, was delightful to work with. Maryn made sure I did not have to lift a finger! I have heard from my wedding guests how wonderful the staff was to them and that the food was delicious. I could not have picked a better catering company to help us on our big day.
Susan was very helpful in the months leading up to the event, offering valuable advice and recommendations. She was considerate to what I wanted and helped make my vision a reality. Her staff delivered with the precision that you would expect from a five-star restaurant. It is important that I felt supported as the bride, but Catering by Robert did not stop there. I have not spoken to a single guest that had anything less than an absolutely stellar experience at the event. This company was a one-stop-shop when it came to event staff, food, decorations, and table settings. There were so many components of wedding planning that I did not consider, but Catering by Robert had them covered.
At the end of the day, I know I picked “the one.” Both my husband on our wedding day, and a company to make my event magical. Thank you Susan, Maryn, and everyone on the Catering by Robert staff. Your hard work did not go unnoticed, and I look forward to telling anyone interested about the fantastic experience I had working alongside Catering by Robert. If you are reading this review and are on the fence, reach out to Susan. Make your event the best it can be by hiring this incredible company to make your day special.

Susan, Marin, and the the rest of the Catering By Robert team were absolutely incredible! For months prior to our wedding, Susan made sure that everything was planned out accordingly and all the last minute details were taken care of. She answered all of my questions and the communication was always super quick. Marin made sure the day of the wedding that all my and my husband's needs were met and all of the setup/breakdown was taken care of so that we didn't have to focus on anything except each other and having fun. The food was delicious, and many guests even let me know afterwards how much they enjoyed it. I truly don't think our wedding would have been as amazing as it was without Catering By Robert. Highly recommend!!!

Catering by Robert was absolutely incredible for our wedding! The food was wonderful, and we’re still getting compliments from our guests about how delicious everything was. Their banquet team was outstanding! They were attentive, friendly, and truly on top of every detail. One of the things we loved most is that they include so much: linens, charger plates, a beautiful array of centerpieces, etc. Everything came together so seamlessly. Susan and her team are amazing, and their day-of coordination service took an enormous amount of pressure off me and my husband. We were able to fully enjoy our day knowing everything was in expert hands.
Maryn was also an absolute joy to work with. She made sure every detail matched exactly what we envisioned, and the end result was nothing short of perfect. We received so many compliments about how smooth everything went and how attentive the staff was. We truly couldn’t be happier with Catering by Robert. Highly, highly recommend!

We used Catering by Robert for our wedding, and working with Susan and her team was truly one of the best decisions we made. From the very beginning, Susan went above and beyond. Because her menu is so extensive, she hosts tastings every other month for all her booked couples—and for the past 2½ years, we attended them and were consistently blown away. It made choosing our menu so much easier, and on the wedding day our guests could not stop raving about the food. The jambalaya was especially a huge hit!

Throughout the planning process, Susan spent countless hours with us in design meetings, helping us bring the vision for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception spaces to life. She also communicated with our other vendors, which took a huge weight off my shoulders. She was always just a text away whenever I needed her, and I had complete confidence that we were in great hands.

On the day of the wedding, Maryn was incredible. She made sure every detail was set exactly the way I wanted, coordinated everything behind the scenes seamlessly, and even helped my daughter bustle my dress before the reception—something I’ll always be grateful for. The spaces looked absolutely stunning, and the entire day flowed perfectly thanks to her.

We also hired Catering by Robert for bartending services, which were offered at a very reasonable price. The bartenders were professional, efficient, and kept everything running smoothly at the bar. If you book them for your wedding, I highly recommend adding on the bartending services—it made the entire experience even better.

We hired Catering by Robert for my daughter’s wedding and were thoroughly impressed. The food was good and the staff were amazing. The price was very reasonable and not only did it include dinner, but also a “day of” coordinator and all the table decorating! They set everything up for us and took everything down and cleaned up. Excellent communication and very professional. It also included several full meal tastings ahead of the wedding. We highly recommend.

Susan and her team did a great job with our wedding. She was a great communicator and provided many tasting experiences that we enjoyed attending. Her services were the most all- inclusive I was able to find during my search and her and her team exceeded my expectations. Thank you!

We just used Catering by Robert for our wedding catering on 12/07/24 and we couldn't have imagined having anyone else for our wedding. The food was great, their staff was amazing, and the attention to detail was unmatched.
When you sign a contract with Catering by Robert, you become part of their family while you're planning a wedding. Susan, who runs the operation, makes you feel like you're the only wedding they're planning.
You'll be invited to bi-monthly tastings from signing until your wedding. We had no doubt that the menu we were choosing was reflective of exactly what we wanted.
You'll also attend a design meeting with their team to ensure that the tables you're presenting match your vision.
....and when you change your mind or have any questions, Susan is only a phone call away.
They also double as your on-site coordinator for the day, which was a huge help and weight off of our shoulders.
For any large events moving forward, Catering by Robert will consistently be our first choice!
