“First, the food was wonderful (I got raves from my guests) and second, Amanda is SO great to work with; she went out of her way to provide the service I needed, even though it was not her usual way of doing things. She's a genuine peach.“

“I can't rave enough about how glad I am to have chosen CBC for our special day. Corey and her team are extremely intuitive and the food is SIMPLY delicious! Corey thought of everything and made our dinner selections a breeze. Our friends are getting married this summer and after tasting her food at our wedding, they made the smart move on also choosing Corey!“

“Working with Mikasa was amazing from start to rehearsal dinner. From the beginning, we were attracted to them due to their uniqueness. We were absolutely blown away by the quality of food and service during our tasting. It's very apparent that Ana & Santiago are extremely passionate about their business, their food, their culture, and the guest experience. Ana welcomed us into her gorgeous home for the tasting that had breathtaking views of Asheville! Ana & Santiago met up with our wedding planner to map out our rehearsal dinner venue for where they would set up/cook. since our venue did not have an oven this required some extra creativeness to make sure food was hott but Mikasa made it work for the space. More than made it work it was phenomenal!! Our overall experience was really fun and we didn't have to worry at all on the day of the rehearsal dinner. Ana made sure at our rehearsal dinner that the bride/groom (us) got to enjoy it as well by sending plates our way while socializing & always just a step behind us to dispose of anything lol We had several guests tell us that it was "the best food they've ever had". I loved that the bride and groom got their own special meals (We couldn’t choose from the delicious 2 options). As well as the guest getting 2 desserts which Gabby did amazing on! Overall, I highly recommend hiring Mikasa Catering for your event and know that they're going to blow you away like they did for us!“

“We had a surprise 50th bday party at the Douglas Ellington House catered by Food Experience and they were AMAZING! The initial phone call to discuss options, finalizing a proposal, and the event were all seamless and easy. Georgianna was so friendly. I felt like I had a friend helping plan the party. And most importantly they executed perfectly - the service and food were incredible. One of their staff sang a birthday serenade! One of the owners, Tony, was there and made sure everything was OK.
These people truly love and take pride in what they do - their passion is evident in their work. I highly recommend them! They accommodated several people with life-threatening severe allergies, and they were so appreciative.“

“Wow! Kim Lloyd, the owner at Celine and Co. impressed us from our very first meeting - Dec. 2020 when who knew what the next six months held. She was reasonable, flexible, managed to provide a tasting that month, and never failed to deliver what she promised. She ensured her staff were all vaccinated, worked out food arrangements with the band we hired, and provided the positive energy and service delivery beyond what we expected. She was available and responded quickly to questions or requests. She made very helpful suggestions and gave guidance for handling a multitude of issues from liquor to decor. In the end, we scheduled three separate occasions over a four day period - a family dinner at our home, the actual reception at her venue “The Hideaway”, and a Sunday “Brunch Before You Go” for our out of town friends and family. All three events were exceptional. The day of our wedding reception she and her Hideaway staff worked with us on a visit from my daughters, the florists set up and the band setup. That night the food was perfect and the staff easily accommodated various dietary restrictions -vegan, vegetarians, gluten free. Everyone raved about the food and decor. Her staff helped with everything from directing our guests to a last minute wardrobe malfunction. One of our guests is an retired event organizer who used to plan fundraisers for high-end charities in NY and Europe. He was very impressed with both the food and skillful management of the entire evening. When the bill came it was, to the dollar, what we have been led to expect. We’re not used to that, we’re from Florida! We would cheerfully do it all over again and plan to engage Kim and her staff at Celine and Company for future parties. Simply amazed!

“We are from out of town and love to try the local favorites. The food was fresh and delicious. The restaurant was unique and the service was friendly.“

“Ivan was such a blast to work with! We sat down for a very fun tasting with our parents and were presented with an impressive spread. Ivan was flexible with our budget. I changed the menu several times and Ivan was always quick to help me figure out what would work with my budget. And he even helped me rebook for my wedding when we had to CANCEL it 3 days beforehand due to a hurricane! He did not have to do this, but they were so understanding and helpful. I would highly recommend them due to they professionalism and creativity. 5 stars! Great food!“

“I’m a wedding planner and recently worked with 67 Biltmore’s catering team on a wedding. Their sales manager was phenomenal- handling changes and accommodations like a champ throughout the planning process! And their day of team was on top of things - they were so wonderful and helpful and the food was great. I would definitely recommend them!“

“I usually order to go when I am too lazy to make a home-cooked meal. The food is good, generous, and well worth the price. I like different restaurants for different reasons. This falls into my "guilty pleasures/greasy spoon" category of restaurant, not because its a dive but because it is simple, decent, southern comfort style food. Don't go for Michelin Star or for fusion foods, but when you want something comforting like grandma would have made it. I give it a 5 star rating not just for its food, but the heart and spirit of the owners and employees. I have seen from behind the scenes, more than once, how this restaurant helps people and the community-for example with food for flood victims and fundraisers for local schools. Their compassion alone makes it a business worth supporting, the tasty fried country steaks, okra, rolls and desert are just the icing on the cake.“

“We chose Cielo Catering for our wedding, and it was one of the best decisions we made. From start to finish, their team demonstrated an unwavering commitment to quality, professionalism, and customer satisfaction.

The food Cielo prepared for our wedding was simply outstanding. Numerous guests approached us during and after the event to rave about the cuisine, with many stating it was the finest they had ever tasted at a wedding. The lamb, salmon, fresh vegetables, lentils and grains were cooked to perfection, showcasing Cielo's culinary expertise. Much of this was done on an open grill in the pouring rain, it must be mentioned! The appetizers and cocktail hour spread were equally impressive, both in terms of taste and presentation.

One of our top priorities was to have a genuine family-style dinner service, which can be challenging to find. Cielo not only accommodated our request but executed it flawlessly. They collaborated with us to develop a menu that beautifully incorporated our favorite dishes and those cherished by our families, creating a truly personalized and unforgettable dining experience.

Cielo's professionalism and attention to detail throughout the planning process were exemplary. Despite coordinating everything remotely, we encountered no surprises during our tasting, and their coordinator Jordan consistently demonstrated a keen ability to manage every aspect of the event. Their sincere dedication to bringing our vision to life made us feel genuinely valued and cared for as clients.

Beyond the exceptional food and service, Cielo also provided top-quality bar service and drinks for our dinner, ensuring a seamless and complete catering experience.

For anyone seeking a catering company in the Asheville area, we wholeheartedly recommend Cielo Catering. Their remarkable cuisine, attentive service, and unwavering professionalism made our wedding day truly unforgettable.

“Possibly the best fried chicken sandwich I've had.“

“Dined here 5/8/12 for lunch and it was outstanding! Sloppy Jane special, kale salad and vegan potato salad. Washed it down with a few glasses of chlorophyll water and was good to go all day long. Nice varied menu and creative dishes. Nice folks work here and the service was very good. Can't wait to eat here again soon!“
