Report
We had an amazing experience with the quality of the food and staff at our wedding. The on-site staff truly went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of and had everything we needed. We would have had a perfect experience, however, to put it bluntly the communication by our ASOL catering representative was inconsistent and absent throughout the process, even during the final days leading up to our wedding leaving us with requests and questions left unanswered.
It was not uncommon to go weeks without receiving answers to our emailed questions, sometimes requiring us to call directly to the company to inquire. This was frustrating and at times stressful to deal with, but fortunately the wedding day came and went without any issues! We seriously can't commend the staff and on-site manager for their professionalism and quality of service. The food was also outstanding!

Event planning staff was very quick and clear on their communication - I always felt like we were working with a caterer who really knew what they were doing. We had several last minute seating/food changes for our ~100 person wedding and all of them were documented accurately by Spice of Life. The food was amazing, warm, well cooked. Our tasting was both fun and informative. The highlight for me was the passed apps - they did very high volume, all bite size, very gourmet/unique, and we loved all of them and got lots of compliments.
