Atlasta catered my rehearsal dinner and wedding. If I could give Atlasta 100 stars out of 5, I would. Everything was truly incredible and far beyond what we imagined we'd have for our wedding weekend. We had so many people tell us that our rehearsal dinner and wedding had the best food they've ever had at a wedding. Those with dietary restrictions said they've never had such an easy time eating at a wedding before.
Beyond that, the Atlasta team is INCREDIBLE. From the day we chose them as our caterer up until our wedding day, they were communicative, kind, and accommodating. Steve is so talented and had amazing recommendations that made our wedding dinner absolutely perfect. Not only is the presentation beautiful, the food is so flavorful and delicious. Working with Atlasta was by far the best decision we made when it came to our wedding.
Our wedding wouldn't have been a great event if it weren't for all the hard work and attention to detail that Steve, Kristine, Madison, and the Atlasta team put into it. I cannot recommend them enough!

Hands down the best caterers! We've used several others in the past and Atlasta is the best. We've used them for both business and personal events. We had a reception last night and they did not miss a single detail. The presentation is beautiful and the food is exceptional.

I initially asked for a buffet price for 75 adults and 25 kids. They said it would be about $10k. We were hoping to pay a little less for food so we asked how much it would be plated instead and they said $18k. The email clearly showed they didn't want to work with us and should have said so instead of throwing out a ridiculous amount for food. This company is unprofessional. Don't waste your time reaching out to them.

As a bride planning her wedding during COVID-19, the process has been anything but easy and enjoyable as with every decision there's a part of you remembering it "may not happen" or you'll have to alter for sanitary reasons/distancing. We had a long engagement and are over 8 months into that with planning and since day 1 Atlasta and the team, Steve especially (the owner) have gone past above and beyond to help do whatever possible to make my wedding the best day ever - even if it means help or assistance outside of catering since he's seen so many he has an idea of flow/layout for party size.
The owner personally has called to check in and makes me feel as though my day is just as special to him. The food itself is nothing short of mouthwatering with fresh ingredients and the most gorgeous displays! My aunt & uncle used Atlasta 25 years ago and the Short family has kept a long tenure of amazing work! So great, I'm writing one review now and I'll send another after my wedding!
