Alan and his team did the catering for my All white masquerade birthday bash at the James Ward Mansion on May 20th and wow! They did an amazing job. The team was highly professional and executed on my vision, prior to the day Alan called frequently to check to see if I had any additional questions or needed anything. On the day of the event a full team arrived and were ready to execute. The food is top notch.
I had 111 guests and everyone had plenty to eat. We did the never ending apps and three stations, everything was amazing. The desserts are another level and were the hit with all my guests. They carried out my vision for this event. I highly recommend. The bonus was my signature drink a blue margarita.

We had our wedding at the Art Factory. Amazing experience from booking to the day of with Ultimate. Alan was always available and made planning so stress-free and wonderful. He was very accommodating with changes that had to be made last minute. Food was great! I highly recommend the pecan encrusted salmon, our guests loved it! Bar service was excellent as well. They made our party perfect!

This is the catering company you want to, and NEED to hire! We had our wedding at the Art Factory in January of this year. Everyone knows that it's stressful enough planning a wedding and wanting everything to be perfect. Well, Alan and his staff made sure it was PERFECT. They were truly amazing, & were on top of every little detail, and were really there for us on the best day of our lives! The food was impeccably amazing, and the service was second to none. If you are looking for your sign on who you should choose for your next event. THIS IS YOUR SIGN! Go with Alan and you will never be sorry.

We had our wedding last month and let me just say, thank goodness for Alan! He made sure everything was perfect and the food was outrageously delicious! And his office manager, Andrea was so kind, helpful, and answered all of my questions (and believe me, I had A LOT!) This is overall a wonderful team and we highly recommend Ultimate Caterer, Alan and his team for your events!
