Alexander Event Catering exceeded my husband and I's expectations for our wedding! It was such an amazing experience from the very first day Austin Blake answered my inquiry to our big day. He honestly made everything stress free, seamless, and enjoyable! He was very prompt with answering calls and emails and never missed anything. He pays very close attention to detail and gave great guidance and advise and always with a positive attitude.
He is everything you need and everything you didn't know you needed. All my guests keep talking about how great the food, drinks, and service was! His staff are amazing, friendly, and efficient. Austin put every effort into making my husband and I feel so special on our day and we are forever grateful for him and his team!

We hired Alexander Event Catering with Valentina as our Account Manager for a Celebration of Life for my Godmother who recently passed and we are SO glad we did! We had a cocktail style event for about 75 people at our private residence and it was a Celebration of Life like no other, if i do say so myself - Thanks to Alexander Event Catering! Valentina and her team were an absolute pleasure to work with and made our vision for the event truly come to life.
The food was absolutely delicious, the presentation was impeccable, and I cannot say enough good things about the event staff. They were all amazing! The staff was courteous, fun, and so so hard working. Valentina was so kind, patient, and went above and beyond to fulfill all our special requests. Having previously worked in the industry, I know how stressful and demanding events can be and Valentina and her team were such a calming presence in which we were so grateful for especially during such a time.
We truly enjoyed our entire experience with Alexander Event Catering and would highly recommend them for any event. We will absolutely be hiring them again in the future. Thank you so much again! You all are the best!

Alexander Event Catering is amazing! They truly made my wedding stress free and magical. From day one, Austin gave great advice, guidance, and feedback. He understood our vision right away. He is creative, attentive and a true artist. He always got back to my phone calls and e-mails quickly. He is so positive and vibrant. My husband and I can't thank him and the Alexander Event Catering team enough. Weeks later, and my guests are still talking about the catering service. I would easily recommend them for any event.
