My dad still claims the cheesecake, his favorite dessert, she made is the best he has ever eaten and most importantly, he still talks about the meal to this day. KC was great to work with and her culinary skill showed through. Perhaps, more importantly, she was extremely easy to work with and she is a delight. My family enjoyed having her as part of our celebration and you certainly will.

Hosting a shower or party and looking to delegate all things food and bev? Danielle is your girl!…read moreWe all know hosting an event comes with a few stressors, but catering shouldn't be one of them! From the thoughtful menu options sent weeks in advance to the beautiful plating, not a detail was missed! She takes the time to understand your guest of honor, making sure she incorporates colors and tastes that'll make them feel special. That's a quality you don't find often! In addition, she handled all prep, plating, and clean up on her own making sure the rest of the hosts could focus on making sure the guests were happy. It was truly a pleasure working with her!

Paella ATX is an absolute gem of a find. Chef Diego and his team created an unbelievable experience…read morefor my friends and I at a birthday party we recently threw. The paella itself was simply the best I've ever had. Diego spent years studying abroad (including in Valencia, Spain -- the home of paella) and is a master at his craft. He and his team made two different types of paella (one meat based and the other seafood based) in order to cater to the dietary needs of our crowd. To me, the special thing was the experience itself. The whole crowd was thrilled and mesmerized by their process and the expert culinary experience that Diego and his team provided. It would be a dramatic understatement to call this the highlight of the party. It was such a memorable and fun way to entertain and feed friends and created such a cool experience for everyone there. In fact, I already booked them to come back and do it again for a party I'm throwing in May. Diego himself was easy to work with and accomodating. The price was totally reasonable for the ease, quality of the food, and incredible experience we were able to create for our guests. This is a pretty new business, so I feel like we got really lucky to get in on the ground floor while we did because I expect that once word starts getting out around town Diego and his crew are going to be increasingly tough to book. If you're looking for an amazing memorable food experience that you won't regret, you can't do better than Paella ATX.

She suggested a menu that had something for everyone and even provided a really cute digital menu that was shareable/printable.

From the beginning Arturo was very communicative and helpful, he walked me through all the steps and was very confident and gave me a sense of ease since all 11 of us were traveling in from out of town. During the dinner and prep they were so professional, kind, and had an air of high class restaurant vibes. It felt like a luxury dinner at home! The food was timed perfectly and delicious. Arturo put "wedding flowers" on the birthday cake as a special touch. My sister is a big home cook and she asked Arturo a bunch of questions about his technique and he took his time to give us all his attention! 100% recommend.

We had Nicholas come to our home for my sisters 30th bday and it was incredible! He provided a full…read more4 course meal for 7 of us and it was the best experience ever. What a great way to enhance an special occasion or surprise friends / family and give them the experience of fine dining in the comfort of your own home. He even does the dishes and provides everything. We opened a few bottles of wine (BYOB) and asked him questions all while keeping a safe distance and he wears a mask the whole time if you request it. It was a hands free evening of family and fun. I worked with him to create a menu beforehand that would be delicious but also cater towards the birthday girl who was pregnant and has a gluten free and dairy free diet. He made everything perfect and we are booking him for all holiday meals and future family gatherings. Even perfect for special clients too!!

We cannot recommend the Etter-Harbin Alumni Center enough! Although it's known as the UT Alumni…read moreCenter, it is so much more, a stunning, elegant venue that absolutely wowed us and our guests. We had countless people comment on how beautiful the space was and how incredible the food tasted. Ashley, from Rosemary's Catering, was our main point of contact and truly the MVP. Her communication and organization leading up to our big day made the entire process feel seamless. She was responsive, kind, and made sure every detail was taken care of, which was especially helpful since we were planning from outside of Austin. We chose the Tex-Mex buffet and it was an absolute hit! The food was fresh, delicious, and plentiful. To top it all off, we added Amy's Ice Cream for dessert, and our guests are still talking about it. Booking with Etter-Harbin made wedding planning so much easier. Through them, we handled all the food, drinks, and rentals in one place. Once we secured the venue, all we needed was a coordinator, photographer, florist, and DJ and their preferred vendor list helped us find amazing people for each. This venue is beautiful, well-run, and perfect for anyone wanting a smooth planning process and an unforgettable day.

As UT alumni, we decided to have our wedding ceremony venue at the Etter-Harbin Alumni Center for…read more100 guests. Our sales manager was Taylor Kelly, and she was magnificent! She was incredibly responsive through email and answered all of my questions. Our meetings were lax, and I never felt that she was trying to sell me anything that I didn't want or need. From working with our budget to tasting the menu, she was very flexible and accommodating. Unfortunately she had to move states in the middle of our interaction, but the handoff and transition to our second sales manager, Emily Malaya, was seamless and no information was dropped. Emily was just as wonderful, efficient both through email as well as in person. We completed working out all the details without issues and working with both Taylor and Emily was the most pleasant and least stressful experience of our wedding planning. When the first sales manager is excellent at her job, you wonder if she was just one-of-a-kind rock star. But when the second sales manager is equally as talented, you realize you're working with a great event planning company that knows how to hire and train. The day of the wedding has arrived and just when we thought Emily was incredibly valuable, she stepped it up a notch. From coordinating the procession to rounding up the wedding party to personally pinning on my boutonniere, she made sure every part of the ceremony was as flawless as possible, and any issues that popped up she handled it easily and calmly. You can clearly tell she's had a lot of experience under her belt. Honestly, who know how many fires Emily had put out that I don't even know about. I have no idea how the ceremony would have gone without her help. You can tell she's not just good at her job, but she really enjoys taking care of her clients on what could be the biggest day of their life.

Peak Beverage provided a great bar with a variety of options, but we had difficulties with…read morecommunicating over email. Our wedding venue had a required Bar & Bev vendor, which switched to Peak Beverage at some point between us booking our venue and a month before our wedding. Neither the venue nor Peak reached out to us to let us know. A month before our wedding, we found out that Peak was the new required vendor, so we started working with them. The signature cocktail we had selected from the previous vendor was not on Peak's list, but they worked with us to provide that cocktail as a custom request. We had already put down a deposit with the previous vendor. The deposit was transferred to Peak, but minus around $400. It took a lot of communication back and forth to get Peak to provide an invoice with the correct amount we had agreed upon. This back and forth was very frustrating. Even up to the wedding date itself, the issue was still not resolved, and a week after the wedding, we were still in the process of working with them to make sure we were correctly charged. The service that Peak Beverage provided for the rest of the event was very smooth. The signature cocktail was delicious, and our guests loved it. They had a good selection of beer, wine, and non-alcoholic options as well.
