We just had our daughter and son's in law wedding reception this weekend at Paris! What a fabulous time. I had nothing but compliments from our guests about how nice of an affair it was. Lots of food that was all so delicious and endless! Everyone kept raving over their dinner. Dance party DJ's woohoo! Still hearing about it! Keith made sure our night was flawless and fun and it was! Joanne was also so helpful and accommodating.
I don't know the rest of the staff by name but all were terrific. It was a longtime waiting for this moment, postponed several times due to pandemic and Keith really made our kid's special day perfect! We will definitely come back!

Paris Caterers was awesome from the start of planning to the actual wedding day. The service from the staff was superb during the wedding. (I cannot stress this enough!) They assisted us with details of the bridal prep through the actual ceremony and afterwards. Any situation we came across the staff was able to assist. They managed the day efficiently and effectively without a hiccup! Diane and Pete were the best ever, I mean THE BEST!.
They were very helpful and I honestly couldn't see the day going as well without them. They made sure our wedding was on time and seamless. My guest were all very pleased with the service received by the entire staff at Paris. I would recommend this venue to anyone who wants to have a memorable wedding or event! The decor is fabulous inside and outside. We were able to take beautiful pictures right on the premises.
Oh and I can't forget the owner Keith he is the nicest person ever!. He is very accommodating and extremely professional. Thank you Paris Caterers for making our wedding day the best time of our lives. Forever grateful Wanda and Jason

The most beautiful place to have a wedding! Keith and staff were wonderful! Keith kept everyone having a great time from beginning to end. I've been to many weddings and the surround system for the music was best! The food was excellent! Received many compliments from our guests stating this is the best wedding they've been to. The staff accommodated my mother who is in a wheelchair chair. All our guests had a magnificent and memorable day! Many thanks to Keith and staff for making my daughter and son in law wedding day absolutely spectacular and most memorable!
