We had fabulous foods cater our wedding at the Zoo. We chose a Mexican cuisine. We had so many compliments it was fantastic. Most of the time you don't expect much from wedding food but this was so much different. Stephanie helped us get everything set up. James was our personal server during the wedding. The staff was professional at all times. I was overwhelmed by how many compliments we received about the food.
We had 2 family heirloom plates that we used for our bundtinis- the staff were very careful with the heirloom and made sure we got them back in mint condition. Fab foods also helped us get set up with linen/chairs etc. The dining room looked fantastic. We couldn't have asked for anything better. Thank you for helping to make our day special.

Fabulous Foods is an amazing one stop shop for all of your party planning and catering needs! We recently hosted a corporate event in Phoenix that I planned from California. With nothing but phone calls to pave the way, Stephanie was able to perfectly bring my vision to life for a "Mexican Fiesta" with a white tent adorned with twinkle lights and swamp coolers to keep us all comfortable on a 90 degree night.
The food was top notch and easily accommodated our group that includes vegans, vegetarians and gluten free folks. They handled every step of the event from tent rental, set up, break down, food, beverages (including a full bar and 2 bartenders) and were able to add more tables, chairs and alcohol to our order the day of. Every step of the process was easy and handled with great professionalism. I only wish they were in California so I could use them for all of my events!
