As Good As It Gets Catering

I think I could live off of their truffle mashed potatoes. I’m telling you, it’s the absolute best thing I’ve ever tasted!

Originally, we were working with a different catering manager who arranged our tasting. They were so kind to any changes we had and were great about suggestions, too. The new catering manager, Laura, made it feel like nothing changed at all! We appreciated how quickly Laura got back to us about the most trivial of questions we have. Her communication was quick and she was very professional and diligent! Laura came out to our venue walkthrough and made our whole catering experience go so smoothly when connecting with our coordinator and venue coordinator. The catering team for the buffet on our wedding day was absolutely incredible. Truly the kindest people ever. They brought us passed appetizers while we were taking photos and made sure our dinner plates were full and ready for us -- just that little thing made me so happy. All of our guests loved the food, from the passed appetizers to the meal, even the lemonade. I'm still hearing people rave about the crispy coconut chicken!! They also helped clean up and put our rentals away, on top of putting leftovers into tins for us. I didn’t have to think about anything except how great all of the food was! They are so well organized and every part of working with them was so easy!

Cheryl’s / AGAIG Catering was by far the easiest vendor we worked with while planning our wedding. We had a nearly seamless experience from our first communication to our tasting to the day itself. Cheryl’s staff were extremely accommodating, proactive, and attentive through the whole process. They were so gracious in taking care of a lot of little tasks (cutting cake, setting out plates and seating cards, lighting candles, etc.) that otherwise would have fallen to us or close family. They were amazing in helping us create a delicious menu / substitute options that would accommodate dietary restrictions without having to dedicate our whole menu to those restrictions. As the newlyweds, we felt prioritized for appetizers and we sat down to a gorgeous plated meal while our guests went through the buffet line. At the end of the night, we realized we hadn’t had to provide Cheryl’s staff with any direction the whole day— they made sure everything was executed perfectly. Finally, guests raved about about the food— it was excellent! We cannot recommend Cheryl’s enough.

Cheryl’s truly blew my wife and I away with their service. Planning a wedding is stressful but their pricing was clear, they communicated effectively, and the food was remarkably good! We did buffet service and everything was hot and fresh. I am still dreaming about the buns that they served. Their wait staff made my wife and I the priority by making us each a plate and searching us out for hors d'oeuvres. The bartenders set aside my signature drink for me when it was running low at the end of the night and made sure I was always served quickly. The staff also just seemed so genuinely happy for us that it really added to the warmth of the event.

Our company has been ordering their catering for lunch meetings. Our staff never gets tired of the same caterer because they offer so much variety. They have GF and vegetarian options. Mostly importantly, they communicate quickly and are always on time!

We cannot say enough good things about our experience working with Amy and the team for our wedding. Amy was organized, responsive, accommodating and honestly just so sweet. Planning a wedding is stressful enough and it was such a relief knowing we could count of them as a vendor, not once during the entire process were we ever concerned/confused/out of the loop.

Incredible! The communication was great, and the coordinator was so quick to get us a quote. The day of the event the crew showed up on time, got everything setup beautifully, and helped keep things moving smoothly. They were friendly and helpful the entire time. When it was time to leave, they helped pack up food, and left their space and the kitchen spotless. I was amazed and it took so much stress away from the last minute memorial service. People complimented the food and service all night. Even the venue manager was stunned at how clean they left their space. Just top notch all around.

I am giving three stars because in fairness the food on our wedding day tasted amazing, and I love that they pack up the leftovers for the couple. However, working with this caterer was one of the most stressful parts of planning our wedding, and I would not recommend them.Our experience started at the related restaurant, Cheryl’s on 12th. During our process of looking for caterers we figured we would check out the food at Cheryl’s because it was a little hard for us to schedule a tasting during the week because we were out of town, and Cheryl’s is where a tasting would ultimately be and a lot of the things we wanted to taste were on the general menu. We had a really bad experience with our server and followed up with As Good As It Gets (AGAIG) about why we had lost some interest about we ate at Cheryl’s. Cheryl’s made it up to us by giving us our tasting for free, which was very much appreciated. During the tasting, we really liked several dishes and we thought the chef was super nice and personable. We decided to lock in with AGAIG and wrote off the server incident as a fluke.As we approached the few weeks before our wedding day, things started coming off of the rails. First, prior to the contract deadline, we asked to change the seasonal vegetables to grilled carrots. We received a bunch of pushback on that change, even though we timely made it and it was just changing vegetables. Two or three days before the wedding, we discovered that AGAIT does not offer serveware for family style catering. I am not talking dinnerware like the plates and napkins guest actually use, I am talking serveware like platters and serving spoons. I reviewed all of our communications and the contract and this detail was not in there. It was also particularly surprising given that we paid more to do family style, and AGAIT was providing other service items for drinks, passed appetizers, and to go boxes. We also found out that they do provide serveware for buffet style, which would have been a cheaper option than we chose. We had met/communicated with AGAIT about the plan numerous times (and they do offer family style—that was not a special request), yet the fact that they did not have a plan on how to actually serve their food or that we needed to have such a plan was never mentioned. It still would not have been mentioned if I didn’t pick up a stray comment during the carrot conversation. This ended up in us incurring a significant, unexpected charge with our rentals company for serveware days before the wedding. It also led to a lot of stress during the week of the wedding.On the wedding day, the food was fantastic and we ultimately got our carrots (though, we did not know that until dinner was served). However, the caterer did not make sure the groom and I got the passed appetizers like they were supposed to (I ended up only getting one of three on my own) and they did not get me drinks either (though, I am not sure they planned to do this). Also, one of the catering company’s managers who I spoke with related to the serveware came to the wedding to make sure everything went smoothly, which was appreciated. However, he also approached me during my wedding to introduce himself and state that’s why he was there and to ask if I was happy with the carrots, which I found poorly timed given we were in the middle of our reception.

One of the BEST decisions that we made for our wedding was to choose As Good As It Gets for our catering. Amy, Cheryl and all the staff were so fun and easy to work with. They even "dressed" for our theme. They helped us keep on top of our schedule with planning and decision making, and on the big day, I knew that without a doubt everything would run so smoothly because they were so professional. And it was perfect! But the most important thing was how stinking UH-MAZING the food was. I cannot begin to describe how much tasty our food was and how all of our guests were raving about it for MONTHS to come. I still dream about the side salads that we had in our gourmet picnic theme. YUM!!!! I am so grateful for As Good As It Gets Catering and all of the staff. They made my wedding such a huge success and I completely without hesitation recommend them to anyone needing catering services.
