We booked 12 Baskets for drop off catering. Scott dropped off and set up all our delicious appetizers and macarons. He not only made sure everything looked great; he also provided heating and timing instructions. The food was fantastic and we had a great variety to choose from. 100% recommend them for your next event.

Twelve Baskets was the caterer for my clients' wedding last month. In addition to delicious food, the event leader, Jerry, went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. We had a short setup time at the venue and the whole team worked very hard under his leadership to get everything perfectly set before guests arrive. Jerry took the initiative to check in with me and my team throughout the event, making sure that everything was going well from a catering perspective and being a true team player! Thank you!
