I also thought his prices were affordable. They delivered the food on time and everything went really well. It is important to let any catering service know what you expect from them. Make sure they are willing to work with you so there are no surprises. Be clear on your expectations so that they understand your needs.

Chef Ty and her team catered our wedding in our home in Northern Baltimore county. Our experience…read moreworking with her was wonderful. She was thorough in her preparation and asked a lot of questions to help us customize our event. Three main dishes; tender flakey fish, pork tenderloin and Korean BBQ tofu. The team also prepared a host of appetizers and 3 different mini pies for dessert. People went back for seconds of everything. She successfully managed the timing of the food, her team was wonderful, and they cleaned everything up. Can't wait to find another opportunity to work with her.

Chef's Expressions at the Manor truly made our wedding magical. Sarah Armstrong was our event…read moreconsultant and she was AMAZING. She helped us get better deals on aspects of our big day, figure out how to get what we wanted within budget, and mapped out every detail to perfection. Sarah made sure that everything was planned in a way that made the most sense and following her guidance led us to a day I dreamed of. When there were hiccups with a bartender being out due to COVID, she was quick to come up with a solution and I didn't even know of the issue until after the night was over. Sarah handled everything on the day-of, even transporting our personal décor, so I only had to concentrate on being with my people and soaking it all in. On top of all of that, the food was AMAZING. I would eat their short ribs for every meal and the fennel and ricotta flatbread was to die for. Everyone says you don't eat at your own wedding but Chef's Expressions made sure we got served a little of EVERYTHING so we got to eat every single dish at our wedding and they were all phenomenal. I didn't think pasta would hold up well served en masse but the pesto especially was really phenomenal. Every hors d'oeuvres, station, and dessert was delicious. Our cake was also provided through Chef's Expressions and was one of the best wedding cakes I had ever eaten. Sarah and the team at Chef's Expressions at the Manor do a phenomenal job and I would recommend them to everyone looking for phenomenal food on a reasonable budget.

Pros: - The food was delicious - The tasting was also delicious as the food is very good -The servers at my wedding were awesome and helpful - They helped create a layout for the wedding - They seemed to listen to what we wanted - They created a timeline of the wedding Cons: - They had last minute questions that should have been addressed at the tasting/ questions were asked that we had reviewed at the tasting (cake flavor, types of alcohol, etc.) Instead of asking them the month before the wedding they were asked the week of the wedding. - The day-of coordinator that was promised was invisible. - The clean up of the event was disorganized. I ended up taking items with me that were supposed to go to a point person that was known by all parties. As a bride, this is the last thing you want to have to think about. If the event coordinator were present they would have known this. - A gift was lost and chef's expressions did not seem concerned. With hindsight 20/20, I would have hired a wedding planner and waited until the year 2020 where The Maryland Historical Society will allow other caterers.

My wife and I spent months researching different catering companies for our early November wedding…read moreat the American Visionary Arts Museum. We were looking for a company with flexibility, delicious food, customer service, hospitality, and affordability. Innovative Gourmet Catering was it!! From the moment I spoke with Kim, I felt like they were incredibly willing to be flexible in order to meet our needs. I am Dominican and my wife is Midwestern, and they were able to deliver a menu that was delicious, diverse, and just what we were looking for. Seriously, the first thing that everyone we spoke to post wedding said was how delicious the food was!! Folks felt cared for, and like there were many options. The owner Maria was personally our coordinator on the wedding day, and she was amazing. You can tell she is someone who has years of experience under her belt. They made sure my wife and I left the reception with packed food to take home. The food was just as amazing the next day!! Seriously I cannot emphasize what a serious value Innovative Gourmet is. They were upfront about everything, no hidden fees or costs, and helped make our wedding incredibly special.

I LOVE Innovative Gourmet and was THRILLED with my experience. I have never had such prompt and…read moreexperienced service in my life--from any other catering company or any restaurant I've gotten large orders from. Maria, the owner, is extremely experienced and professional, and takes her time to personally design a menu to the exact needs necessary. The planning was very smooth and easy--all I had to do was give a general idea of what I wanted to serve, and I was given a ton of great ideas for dishes. I knew some specific dishes I wanted to have and Innovative Gourmet was exactly on point with all of those needs I requested as well. The actual event was FANTASTIC. All that guests remember from any event (in my opinion) is the food, beverages, and music, and the food and beverages were perfectly served and tasted as amazing as if it was cooked for one person (and the party was for 400 people!) I'm also gluten free, and Maria had some great suggestions to make sure that need was accommodated. I would HIGHLY recommend Innovative Gourmet, and I've decided to host a Holiday Party now that I know how easy Innovative Gourmet makes the process for me!

The food was absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of flavorful options that truly pleased the crowd. The presentation and overall setup were beautiful and added an elegant touch to the event.

The pricing was very reasonable, and he even offered a wonderful tasting prior to signing the contract, which gave us great confidence in our decision. I highly recommend A Family Affair Catering for any special occasion.

To consider this a legitimate "business" is laughable, just like their food. Arrived over an hour…read morelate to an event and instead of being apologetic, had an attitude. Dinner was for 25 + people and there was barely enough food for 12. Not that this mattered, as EVERYTHING was inedible and there were no plates, cutlery or napkins provided. I take that back, the store brought $2.00 (price still on) cornbread and $16.00 cake were the ONLY items edible. The Mac and Cheese was dry and bland. I will give them credit for it being both overcooked and undercooked all in the same batch. I'm still trying to make sense of that! The only adjective that even remotely describes this Mac and Cheese is "disrespectful". Like, seriously, the disrespect was 10/10. The chicken was undercooked and bland. How do you make jerk chicken bland and soggy? I'm actually curious. The "blackened" salmon was overcooked yet not blackened, creating another "make it make sense" moment. I immediately spat out the greens. They were undercooked, not under-seasoned but literally "not seasoned". Wait, I take that back too, if you count the dirt and grit as seasoning. They should be ashamed of themselves for ripping people off. Pictures don't lie. The fact that they were sent pictures and still stood behind their product tells you all you need to know. Please, please, PLEASE do not let these people ruin your event and more importantly your special moments and memories. There are so many other respectable and legitimate Black-owned catering companies i.e. Ohhs and Ahhs, Henry's, Hitching Post.
