I recently used First Choice Catering for my husband's "60th" birthday celebration and it was Amazing! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was awesome. I would definitely recommend this venue. Mr. John Woods and his wife Cindy were very easy to work with. I will definitely be a repeat customer for future events.

First Choice Catering catered both of my daughters' weddings. Yes, the food was exquisite, but the best thing is the total reliability of John Woods and his staff. Once the menu was selected, we never had to worry about anything. First Choice had everything set up beautifully. One reception was a sit-down dinner, and one was buffet, both for over 200 guests.

The service was flawless. We had guests from throughout the US, and we received wonderful compliments about the food and the service. I have also used First Choice for receptions at work, and the same excellence was apparent. I highly recommend First Choice!

First Choice has done several events for our warehouse and knocked it out of the park each time. They handled a staff of 400+ and 2 shifts. The food was hot, fresh, and delicious. I would recommend using them for anything from a small event to a large event. John the owner is on top of things and has a wonderful staff to complete the job.

First Choice Catering has catered several events for me and I have attended even more events that were catered by John and his incredible staff. I appreciate their willingness to accommodate and be flexible in helping create our menus. John is dedicated to providing quality service and food. I like to support family owned businesses and have a great deal of respect for John and his family. I look forward to working with John and his staff again in the future.
