Atlasta is absolutely amazing. They catered for our wedding and did such a wonderful job. The food was great, and the service was also great. AND, on our 1 year anniversary they sent us a complimentary anniversary dinner, how very thoughtful! read more

Here's my email to the Atlasta team verbatim following our wedding day... The entire Atlasta experience was beyond words from start to finish!! But I'll try my best to sum it up because you deserve all the kudos! Every guest raved about the food and that was exactly what I strived for when selecting our caterer and menu. It felt like a dream come true. I had the opportunity to try everything and it was absolutely incredible - it was exactly as it was served to us at our tastings. Our vendors were blown away when they were served an actual meal, not just a "boxed vendor meal". This was so important to me because I know how hard everyone works all day and that is exactly what they deserve. This is just another detail that speaks to the character behind Atlasta. It was super special to have Steve there and everyone on the team was attentive and just so kind. It made the night feel like 5 star dining. Hannah - you are also something special! You've gone above and beyond for us the last 2 years - answering my 5 million questions, changing the menu items 20 times (the mac n cheese change was a winner by the way!!), hosting a second tasting for us, providing all the recommendations etc. I hope you continue on with this career path because you have a gift! You are so amazing at what you do and your passion shines through. The flavors, the presentation, the quality, the service, the people - every little detail was a cut above. I truly don't think there could be another caterer/team out there that can even compare. We were just saying tonight, "I wish we could hang out with all of these people again!" I really hope we have an opportunity to work with you in the future. It has been an absolute pleasure and we can't thank you enough!! read more

Atlasta catered my rehearsal dinner and wedding. If I could give Atlasta 100 stars out of 5, I would. Everything was truly incredible and far beyond what we imagined we'd have for our wedding weekend. We had so many people tell us that our rehearsal dinner and wedding had the best food they've ever had at a wedding. Those with dietary restrictions said they've never had such an easy time eating at a wedding before. Beyond that, the Atlasta team is INCREDIBLE. From the day we chose them as our caterer up until our wedding day, they were communicative, kind, and accommodating. Steve is so talented and had amazing recommendations that made our wedding dinner absolutely perfect. Not only is the presentation beautiful, the food is so flavorful and delicious. Working with Atlasta was by far the best decision we made when it came to our wedding. Our wedding wouldn't have been a great event if it weren't for all the hard work and attention to detail that Steve, Kristine, Madison, and the Atlasta team put into it. I cannot recommend them enough! read more

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Atlasta catered my daughter and son-in-law's wedding, and did an outstanding job. Everything they served was delicious, and the service was the best I have ever seen for an event like this. Many of our guests commented the same. The food was perfect, and presentation of all food and appetizers was beautiful. They took care of so many things, and were patient with our many questions, etc. From the first inquiries we made, through the follow up after the event, the care and professionalism was incredible. We really enjoyed the initial tasting with Steve, and, combined with all of the prompt, courteous, organized communication from everyone at this company, this helped us know they would do a great job, and help the evening run smoothly. They really made a difference at our event, and I would highly recommend them to anyone. read more

When we chose our wedding venue in Sedona, we were told that if we liked food, go with Atlasta. We're so happy we chose Atlasta - from the very beginning working with them has been amazing. We had a phenomenal tasting with Steve and loved everything that came out of the kitchen. When our wedding day came around, everything on Atlastas end went seamlessly. All of their staff were more than professional, and so many of our guests came up to us to rave about how they loved the food. Thank you Atlasta! read more

Steve and his team are nothing short of amazing. We knew we wanted to hire him as our wedding caterer based on our first tasting. The food quality is phenomenal but the greatest thing about them is that they are so flexible on menu items. You can just about mix and match anything AND if theres something thats not on the menus that you might like he will work with you on your vision. Our wedding was over a week ago and our wedding guests are still talking about how great the food was! Thank you Steve, Hannah and team! You guys are awesome! read more

It was a pleasure to have Atlasta cater our wedding. They were super responsive and friendly throughout the planning process, and very accommodating to my requests for gluten free and vegetarian options. Nadine is a delight and was very patient even with my annoying lawyer tendencies to nitpick contracts. Their prices were super reasonable, by far the lowest of the caterers on the list we were required to pick from. They set up a taco bar with a salad and various salsas for the wedding. I was floored by the presentation. I thought they were just going to serve food out of metal tins, but they had a bunch of decor including a fun light up TACO sign. They were thoughtful enough to plate me and my husband's food so that we didn't have to go through the buffet line. The service was really attentive and nonintrusive. Overall we had a great experience and would definitely recommend Atlasta for any event. read more

If you are looking for the full package on catering experiences, look no further. Atlasta provided all food and beverage at our wedding. Incredible, service, presentation, hospitality, and quality. The care and passion behind Atlasta's team radiates. Our guests have all commented on the incredible food and service at our wedding. BEST DECISION! Thank you so much! read more

If you're disappointed as a costumer look at employees reviews and everything will make sense because I looked at them after the event I attended and I'm not surprised anymore, the food the atmosphere, the ownership and willingness to accommodate was horrible. Was the equivalent of Chipotle type catering. Cold unimpressive food, lack of communication, disregard... All lead back and I'm sure there are tons of false good reviews, over half the staff did not understand English. read more

Attended a wedding here a couple of months ago and sadly, I was VERY unimpressed with the food although the presentation was decent. I guess that makes it worse, when the food looks good but taste yuck! The gal that left the review in July has a big surprise coming, yes, the customer service is good, the servers were friendly but again the food was lame and bland. There were two meat dishes, (fajitas and a small, dry steak) veggie enchiladas (made with flour tortillas, cold and covered with some indescribable sauce), and the blandest black rice and beans I've ever tasted. There were also two salsas, again pretty but bland. Most of our food was cold and even though it wasn't a cold night by any means, the food seemed cool when we received it. I am not sure what went wrong and I imagine that it must be very hard to keep all that food warm, tender, moist, flavorful etc. but I felt sorry for the bride knowing she must've paid a pretty penny for the spread. Of course we told her we loved it, what else would we say? But you may want to really examine the food at your tasting and ask for recommendations from other brides or customers. read more

Atlasta food was great! The tasting yielded different flavors from the actual wedding, but its ok. Amanda took care of everything from linens to set up etc. The cocktail hr had bruschetta and cheese spread which i heard was beautiful! I didn't get to see it because i was taking photos, but when i returned, there was none left! we had rib-eye, which was a little to overcooked, I wish that they has taken it off the grill sooner, but they were still great. Veg. enchiladas, fajitas, beans, rice and chips and salsa. The food was beautiful, and the setup was none the less. read more

My husband and I heard about Atlasta after a wedding we attended a couple of years ago and decided to check them out for our own wedding (which happened last weekend!). We sat down with Alice at the Atlasta headquarters to talk about our ideas for the menu and discuss budget. We went with a less traditional menu (basically all of the things we love - burgers, corn, french fries, macaroni and cheese, chicken strips, etc.) and they were completely open and willing to do whatever we wanted. We had our tasting shortly after at one of the buildings at ASU and were BLOWN AWAY. Not only was everything delicious, but we were honestly treated like royalty. We had our own little table set up, Alice served us beverages and replenished them whenever we needed, and brought out our menu dish by dish. Truthfully, I expected the food to taste like wedding food usually does... less than impressive. However, my husband and I were both completely wrong. Everything was not only delicious, but the appearance of the dishes were also beautiful. From the french fries, to the macaroni and cheese, to the burgers - we were no disappointed. They were meticulous about EVERYTHING - what cheese we wanted include in the macaroni and cheese, what types of dip we wanted to serve with the chicken strips and french fries, and even how the burger was made. We left our tasting feeling completely satisfied. The day of the wedding - everything just got better. The wait staff was the most incredible staff you could ever ask for. They'd literally check in with us every few moments to be sure we had everything we needed. In fact, before we started our post-ceremony photos, they came to us to ask us what we'd like for dinner so that our plates were completely ready upon completion of the photos. We made our way to the sweetheart table and they had piled my plate extra high with macaroni and cheese (just the way I wanted!) and my husband's with every type of meal possible. They were so kind and helpful and their customer service day of the wedding was second to none. I honestly am so impressed with their service that I can't stop singing their praises. Not only that - but the food was incredible. Our guests are still raving about our menu and were blown away at how delicious everything tasted. I highly recommend them. Our wait staff was literally the most amazing people I have ever experienced! read more

I'm shocked to see any negative reviews regarding Atlasta as we only have amazing things to say and remember from our experience with them. To start, Atlasta is one of the more affordable caterers we reviewed for our wedding day. Our tasting ran smoothly and they allowed us to bring in my maid of honor as well. They were so accommodating to our budget, provided enough vendor meals to cover all of our hard working staff, brought in beautiful decor to work with our existing wedding theme, and helped with day of/ last minute requests (i.e. Our bartenders did not have lemonade for our signature drink and Alice from Atlasta quickly fixed the situation and brought lemonade for them to use). I am so grateful for Atlasta's amazing customer service, quick response and attention to detail. Thank you, than you for our amazing dinner!!! read more

[DISCLAIMER: I am writing this as a personal review. Although I am an employee of APS, this review reflects my personal opinion and not that of APS.] I have been on the planning committee of an annual retreat meeting we have every year for the past 6 years. I usually get approximately 4-5 proposals. This year, Atlasta Catering won me over! They first impressed me with a prompt and thorough proposal. Nadine took the initiative to be proactive and send a detailed proposal (instead of just sending a menu or a website address for me to print off the menu). This is what earned them the job. The planning committee was a bit indecisive at first about what specifically to order, but Nadine was patient the entire time, offering her help along the way. Once everything was decided on, we had LOTS of questions. Nadine was was very timely with responses and on top of it the entire time. She made suggestions, was flexible, and very accommodating. I kept waiting for her to say no to something that I requested (aside of the norm), but that didn't happen. I even requested a certain number of specific sodas...and they accommodated. From the beginning to the end, I were very impressed with the outstanding service we received from the entire staff at Atlasta. And the food was delicious! I cannot think of one thing that went wrong or wasn't to our satisfaction. I highly recommend Atlasta Catering for all catering and event planning. I am very appreciative of the diligence, professionalism and exceptional service that they provided. Kudos to Atlasta!!! read more

If I had to do it again, I would rather have Panda Express cater my wedding before Atlasta. BEWARE of this company and their lack of transparency and tendency to go back on what they have said. During our food tasting, we met with Alice, who was nice enough and offered us the choice of black or white linen napkins. We chose black. The following week, we got an invoice for 175 black linen napkins. When we questioned it, we were told they had a larger event with ASU that same weekend and all of their inventory was slated for that event so they had to charge us to rent them. Mind you, they don't normally charge for napkin rental. After some going back and forth in email, they finally conceded and removed the napkins off our invoice. Our other major issue with them was the cost of labor. They billed us for bulk labor hours. They said it's their policy to stay for the duration of the event. We said, we don't want you there for the duration of the event. We would like you to leave after dinner. Also, we have a hard time paying for catering staff that is standing around doing nothing. Anyone who was at our reception, should be able to remember seeing caterers STANDING AROUND DOING NOTHING - FOR THREE HOURS. Also, during our food tasting, we were assured by Alice, our sales person, that it was fine, and they would pack up and leave after dinner. INSTEAD, they sent us a bill the WEEK OF THE WEDDING, for an additional hour for caterers to stand around doing nothing, as we had extended our reception an hour. I text messaged their owner Steve Short (as he had given me his cell phone number to get a hold of him if we had any other issues) and asked him if this was necessary. He said yes, it has been proposed from the beginning. And I responded with, we have been opposed to it from the beginning but thanks for the response and Happy Thanksgiving. He then sent me the following two text messages: "Then you should not have booked us" "It seems like all you want to do leading up to this wedding is fight with us. I am having a hard time imaging success on this event." If taking issue with questionable charges is considered "fighting" with them, then you can call what you want. But I have nothing good to say about this company. Be careful if you consider them for your event. read more

I have sat on this review for awhile... I really wanted to think it through. Like I said in my last review, Atlasta catered my wedding. I was pretty disappointed. Unlike what I had experienced previously with them, my wedding was a bit of a disaster. The person I had been working with throughout the process wasn't at the wedding.... so despite many many phone calls and e mails, things were not set up correctly. I felt totally ignored and like my time had been wasted. Unlike at my friend's wedding where they came to check with her and help her set up, no one came to check with me and I had to go looking for them (in my wedding dress!) to ask them to put something on the tables... people saw me before the ceremony... not cool. The food served was not the food discussed throughout the planning process. Items were missing sauces, salads that were supposed to be served as salad 'tacos' were served in a bowl. Our whole idea of small plates and stations was not pulled off due to their poor presentation and their disregard for what we had talked about previously. I didn't get to eat much, but what I ate was not at the level I had expected. We were supposed to have grilled cheese with tomato soup shots.... the tomato soup was missing for most of the night... the grilled cheese was cold and flavorless. I think the worst thing was that we spoke to them extensively about having to have vegan and vegetarian options for our guests that were labeled.... we had a vegetarian mac and cheese that was supposed to be served with bowls of toppings for the people to add themselves.... the mac and cheese was labeled vegetarian, but not only were there no bowls of toppings, but they put bacon in it!!!! This is unacceptable for my vegetarian guests.... Additionally, they forgot to put out a knife for us to cut the cake with... so we used a butter knife... nice. Anyway, there were many other disappointing aspects to this company, but I won't get into it. I would not recommend them for your special day...they certainly put a damper on mine. read more

I value the personal touch I get from a local business. Steve Short and his staff treated us like their neighbor, friend, colleague. Our family event, celebrating an engagement, seemed as personal to them as it was to us! From the menu details, to the set up through the event, Atlasta staff was stellar!! We received so many compliments on the quality of the food as well as the staff interactions! The yogurt shooters were a huge hit and yellow watermelon - who knew!? Just tasty, unique and copious: we definitely got our money's worth in quality and service! Nadine was extremely patient, working with me on the food details. From brands to gluten options, glassware to disposables, linens and layouts, Nadine worked with me in the friendliest manner, creating more contract drafts than I deserved. The final product was perfect, absolutely perfect! read more

If you have any intention of hiring Atlasta for your wedding, DO NOT. If you have any of intention of hiring Atlasta at The Legacy Ballroom, DEFINITELY DO NOT. Your wedding day is not something you want messed with, so do yourself a favor and step away while you can. Atlasta not only failed to deliver to the expectations in the contract, they completely cancelled our contract 4 months before our wedding because they felt that it wasn't "a good fit". Extremely disappointed, but thankful to now be working with a hotel venue that knows how to manage and host a wedding. read more

We've used Atlasta for several large events (200+) including our son's recent wedding and annual Christmas party. Steve and his staff are attentive and our guests always remark how professional they are. Their food is really amazingly creative and we love our leftovers (albeit slight). We're lucky to have several staff repeating their service, they know our home and our expectations. Atlasta is really a great member of our family's memories. read more

Finally a decent caterer for a one-time-event in the Phoenix area... At last night's catered event at the Desert Botanical Gardens, everyone was raving about the food, while it was still being served... The cheese and cracker presentation was fun, but the real star of the event was the taco-esque pork and tortilla dish that I loved... If you wanted a vegetarian option, there was a mediterranean take that was available... But really, everyone with any guts at all had a mix of both, which was divine. read more

I'm using Atlasta for my October wedding and I have been very happy with their service so far. Crystal has been so helpful and friendly getting things ready and planned for the big event. read more

I'll start this review out by saying you get what you pay for at atlasta... It is true that the prices at at last atlasta are much more reasonable than other competitors., but on your special day I would have not gone with them had I known how it would have turned out, simple requests went unfulfilled, such as having a gift table placed an open area and the use of correctly colored tablecloth has to match the decour we provided . The food while abundant was obviously frozen prior to service as some of it was still cold upon serving. I will say however the service was exemplary. Unfortunately all other aspects of our experience left us wanting. I read the reviews prior to Contracting atlasta and felt a few were on justified but looking back I now feel that the complaints were justified. And as there was no response from at last up on these issues that should have been my first warning. my second warning came when I arrived to the at last the office both dilapidated and unwelcoming i Sat for 10 minutes before being seen for my scheduled for appointment. And as for the day itself we felt rushed as the party was being cleared before a majority of my guests left. as I said you get what you pay for but for this day I think spending a little more is worth the price you'll pay elsewhere read more

Atlasta Catering - My first impression - Caterers Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

I can't say enough positive things about this company! They are so accommodating in every way, from start to finish! We used Atlasta for our wedding this past Saturday. Not only will I use them for any future catering we might need, but I will recommend them to anyone! Our contact Alice was professional, friendly, and helpful in every way! The staff for our big day was perfection and our guests raved about the food all night, constantly asking where it was catered from! Our wedding was perfect because of the service Atlasta provided us! Highly recommend!!! read more

Atlasta catered my wedding this month and they did an incredible job. Our primary contact was Alice, and we let her know up front that we were only interested in vegetarian and vegan options. Turns out they have many amazing dishes that fit this criteria. Alice was very attentive and responsive. The food was outstanding on our wedding day, beautifully presented, and our guests were very pleased. Also, the three gentleman from Atlasta who worked the event were INCREDIBLY gracious and helpful. They bussed tables immediately and kept offering to help us with various tasks (that were not in their job description!). They even set up our propane heaters for us! We were VERY impressed. read more

Atlasta catering came recommended by my wedding venue - Warehouse 215 - and it is very clear why! Alice Palmer at Atlasta catering had been a delight to work with and adjusted to work within our budget. I could not have been more pleased with the display, staff and food! Thank you for making our wedding one to remember. read more

Big Shout Out Time!! Best Caterer on the Planet - Atlasta Catering! An amazing experience from beginning to end! Best customer service. Best food (still getting compliments on that). Friendly, accommodating, works with all budgets, allergy friendly ... cannot say enough great things about Steve and his team. Alice Palmer, you rocked our event!! read more

I used Atlasta Catering for my Grandmother's 80th Birthday Dinner. She had a very specific German menu including cabbage rolls, bell peppers, red cabbage and potato dishes. Atlasta nailed it! Not only was the food amazing to our guests but my German Grandmother, who usually does all the cooking for special events, loved it. The staff was a dream to work with, very responsive, on time, professional and accommodating. I would recommend them to any of my friends and family. read more

Atlasta catered our daughter's wedding this past weekend and the food and service was outstanding! I would highly recommend Atlasta to anyone needing a catering service. The food was so good and people were still commenting on it the next day! As someone already mentioned, they had a tasting for us a couple of months ago and made almost everything on our menu just for us! It was so tasty and fresh and very reasonably priced! I highly recommend! read more

I had a lovely time tasting Atlasta recently and want to thank Alice for a great experience at the University Club. I loved the cumin sweet potatoes, and I can't stop making them for myself now (I do it about twice weekly!). Didn't end up using them for other reasons but I'm thankful for the hospitality & quality of food, and I would send others their way. read more

Wow!!!!! This catering company was EVERYTHING! Not only was the staff amazing, but the food was even better! The owner was present at our tastings to assist us with our wedding menu and event bartending services, and we felt so honored and we felt as if the company truly valued customer-experience. Our coordinator, Racheal, was the bees knees!!!! She was SO organized, and she really helped to set up an amazing wedding experience for us! We are grateful for the service we received and recommend Atlasta for all of your catering needs! read more

On behalf of the Arizona YWCA Metropolitan Phoenix Metropolitan Phoenix, we would like to thank Atlasta for their delicious breakfast platters. They offered excellent service and great food at our STEM event! read more

My daughter signed a contract with Atlasta to do her wedding. They couldn't deliver on the things that they promised so they just canceled the contract. I heard some of their experienced staff have left the company and we were dealing with inexperienced people, who have no concept of what a wedding should be. We wasted 5 months working with them and lost our deposit on the banquet hall. I heard from friends in the industry that this used to be a great catering company but is now going downhill. I'd be very careful dealing with Atlasta. If you want pain and anxiety, you've got it. There are a lot of very good caterers and resorts who are just as good or better and so much easier to work with. read more

Atlasta catered our daughter's recent wedding at Desert Botanical Garden. Throughout the planning process, Alice Palmer and Steve Short (the owner) were responsive to our questions, open to our ideas, and eager to please. They arranged for tastings around our schedules, and made sure we were perfectly comfortable with all of our selections. The day of the event, they were no less than spectacular. It started with the watercress and artichoke salad we had selected. The watercress was amazingly fresh, and the dressing complimented its freshness without overpowering it. Our guests raved about the salmon and rib eye, and the vegetarians loved the unusual (but delicious) potpie selection. All the food was served at the right temperature, and no one had to wait while others were eating. The service staff was attentive, polite, but also unobtrusive - if they weren't serving you or clearing your plate, you didn't notice them at all. Atlasta's entire team was highly professional and courteous. It's obvious that they love what they do and want to make sure your event works out exactly the way you want. We could not be happier that we chose Atlasta for our event. read more

Definitely not impressed with the level of customer service from this place. I had originally contacted Atlasta to get a catering quote for my wedding. The first question they ask is a pretty standard one. What is your budget? I gave them my budget and the quote I got back was double what I had stated. After numerous back and forth emails ( Which is the most annoying thing to me ever) we got the rate down quite a bit. The thing that frustrated me was that they were SO inefficient and wasteful of time. Every single time I got a response ( An email response by the way - I could never once get this woman to actually pick up the phone and call me) , I would have to correct something on my quote. Simple Math. There were two other people copied on my email threads that were of absolutely NO help. Everything at the tasting was good except for the most important part.... the chicken. It was rubbery and gross. When I requested a quote with only pasta dishes they would not reduce my per person rate which is just crazy to me. Then when I tried to explain my points, they dismissed me. Oh yeah no worries, you just wasted two months of my time. In summary, they are inefficient and not understanding. When I am paying you thousands of dollards for food... I think I deserve an actual conversation over the PHONE. I also deserve 5 extra minutes of your time to double check the math on your spreadsheet and honestly, pay attention to the customers request. I cant imagine how any couple actually feels comfortable putting someone like this in charge of the most important day of their lives. read more

Atlasta catered for my wedding and delivered exactly as promised. Their food was good, the staff was excellent and everyone was happy! Thank you Atlasta! read more

Atlasta catered our wedding, and we highly recommend them for anyone planning a wedding. They were very professional, the food was great, and the staff is so easy to work with. The food was very good - many guests independently told us the food was excellent. They were able to provide tables, chairs, and other needed items and made planning the wedding so much easier than it could have been. Cannot recommend the enough! read more

I used Atlasta Catering for professional events while I worked for Arizona State, so when it was time for me to plan my wedding, I knew who to call. We worked with Emily, who was very friendly and responsive at every turn. Our tasting was a romantic event by itself, and she was very open to us tweaking the menu to suit our budget and our tastes. At our reception, I had lots of guests compliment the food, and a few even told me that it was the first wedding they'd ever attended where they went back for seconds! The caterers then packed up to-go boxes for us and for our parents, just in case we'd been too busy greeting our guests to have time to eat. I highly recommend Atlasta! read more

When our Dad passed away my sisters and I wanted to get our family together to celebrate his life. We are all over the country. One sister was tagged to put a meal together. (She lives in Florida.) Having absolutely NO experience with caterers she made s call or two and found that Atlasta was very highly thought of. Lots of emails and phone calls (head counts change, you know) and everything turned out perfectly! We even discovered that someone had told Patti the wrong room to set up in. With only 30 minutes before folks were to show up, Patti said," no problem. I can fix it! " she didn't even blink! What a pro! I thought I was going to have to resuscitate my sister! Hosting parties can be stressful, Atlasta made it fun. Patti was great. read more

Atlasta was great! The food was great and the prices were better than all of the competition. A lot of our guests (and some of them are very particular) commented on how good the quality of the food was at our wedding reception at the Legacy Ballroom. Since our wedding, we attended another wedding reception which was also catered by Atlasta and as expected, the food and service was excellent! I would recommend Atlasta to anyone without any reservations. read more
