All of our guests raved about the food. All of the food was well prepared and even the salmon was moist (which is unusual). The tasting we did a ahead of time was well done and we were able to chose just what we wanted for food and tablescapes. Everyone was professional and helped make our event great.

As a wedding/event planner, I wholeheartedly recommend Caribbean Caterers. Their service consistently exceeds expectations, making them a true pleasure to work with.

From the initial tasting to the final delivery, the food is absolutely exquisite. What you experience during the tasting is exactly what you’ll will enjoy on their special day.

The staff is incredibly professional, responsive, and a joy to collaborate with throughout the entire planning process. Their attention to detail and commitment to client satisfaction are truly commendable.

I highly recommend Caribbean Caterers to any wedding/event planner seeking a top-tier catering partner, and I recommend them to anyone looking for the perfect catering team for their next wedding or event..

Gillian and her Caribbean Team offered detail, depth and delicious every step of the way - on our wedding journey. The care for making the wedding day - the most important day for our bride and groom - began on day one of our meeting with them. Walking thru the steps hand in hand over our many planning months was made easy and ultimately gorgeous by Caribbean Caterers. A great choice - enjoyed by all in attendance, especially for a newly minted couple !

Great food, impeccable presentation and first class customer service! Couldn’t ask for any better!

Caribbean Caterers was on the approved vendor list at our daughter's bridal shower venue. From initial telephone consultation to finish, Gillian and her team were highly responsive and attentive to our family's requests. As suggested (and now I too recommend), our family attended a tasting before finalizing the menu selection; it allowed us to sample overlooked items.

On the day of the shower the staff arrived on time, presenting appealing and hot food. The cuisine was perfectly seasoned, moist, and delicious. Moreover, the waitstaff could not have been more gracious and were very attentive to our guests.

Our shower guests raved about the food. Our family highly recommends Carribean Caterers.

I recently used Caribbean Caterers for a company event & they were wonderful! The food was delicious and the team is extremely responsive and friendly. You can tell they are experts at what they do as they had answers for all of my questions and anything else I didn't even think to ask about. Gillian & team absolutely earned these five stars and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

My husband and I got married October 8th 2023. We are childhood sweethearts. The most important aspect of our wedding that we emphasized heavily was food. We were willing and able to pay the extra bucks as long as the food was right for our special day. We even went to other caterers and other tastings by which we weren't pleased with, until we came across Caribbean Caterers. The tasting with Caribbean Caterers was magnificent by which is what drew us in to immediately selecting them for our big day. They had a personal photographer/videographer, so they were able to share video footage of us tasting the food as a keepsake. Our venue actually only wanted their select few of caterers in their venue due to problems in the past. We went over and beyond and were able to talk the venue into allowing Caribbean Caterers. However, everything took a turn for the worse when the food at our wedding tasted nothing like the food from the tasting. The food lacked seasoning, taste, and flavor. It was bland. Our dinner menu was braised beef short rib, stuffed chicken, and salmon. The sides were sweet potatoes, macaroni and cheese pie, and greens. The greens tasted like Glory greens from the can plopped on a plate. The sweet potatoes tasted like they were boiled and just smashed on a plate with no taste or flavor. The mac and cheese was dried out. There was a mixture of overcooked meats and undercooked meats for the reception and cocktail hour foods. The cocktail hour foods were crab cakes, fried chicken skewers, vegetable spring rolls, and shrimp and grits. My father actually tried three different fried chicken skewer sticks and all were undercooked. Not edible at all. The fried chicken skewers were soggy. The worst thing about it is that my husband and I hadn't ate all day and were finally able to sit down and eat at our reception and the food tasted so horrible we didn't touch the plate at all the rest of the night. Gillian, who is the CEO who was present at the wedding, the only excuse was that the bride and groom typically never get time to eat. We for sure had enough time to eat at our sweetheart table, but our food was so tasteless we couldn't bare eating any of it. We had multiple zoom calls that Caribbean Caterers recorded. Where they contradicted themselves and made up excuses to why they are not to be held liable for anything that went wrong. First, Gillian blamed the venue because of the multiple delays that evening which caused them to not be able to produce the food to the best of quality. She stated that the food had to be reheated multiple times and therefore that's the reason it did not taste how it should. My response back to that was it doesn't matter how many times you reheat or even leave food cold, if you seasoned the food properly the food will still remain with a taste and be manageable to enjoy regardless. You would still taste the seasoning, but to not taste no seasoning on our wedding food at all is outrageous. Gillian kept telling me that I should ask other chefs and that she wants me to put a meal in the oven for 2 hours and that's what she had to deal with that night, but it is due to things out of her control. I am not asking other chefs they did not do my wedding that day. You all did. That has nothing to do with the food being tasteless. How I season my food and how they choose to season the food are two different things. My food would still taste good and have flavor because I seasoned it properly rather than if it was kept in the oven for 2 hours or not. In addition, I heard Gillian say on the first zoom call that she had to take chicken back that wasn't thoroughly cooked. Then all of a sudden the second meeting she says I never said that and it may have been overcooked but not undercooked. I said to them well if I am not hearing correctly, I would like to listen to both recordings of the zoom meetings, so I can make sure I heard what I heard and nothing is being made up. Gillian kept talking around my question and not trying to give the zoom recordings for me
