Planning perspective
What to consider before reaching out
A strong first conversation is about fit, not just availability. Share your date, approximate guest count, location, and the feeling you want the day to have. Ask what is included, what typically changes the final quote, and what decisions need to be made earliest.
For a catering partner, confirm how communication works, who will be present on the day, and how the team handles changes. Pricing was not included in the supplied research, so request a current, itemized proposal directly from the business.

We used Tidewater Catering this past weekend for our Daughter's wedding and we couldn't have made a better choice. Keri and her staff were TOP NOTCH. We had SO many compliments on the food, which was AMAZING! She was so helpful prior to the event with suggestions to make for a perfect flow during the wedding which she didn't have to do. I really felt like she "had my back" when it came to treating my wedding as her own. The venue coordinator even came up to me during the event and said "This Caterer is AMAZING. They are efficient and professional." What can I say - I know I am keeping their number and we WILL be using Tidewater again in the future! ...... Maybe a baby shower in the fu...

We used Tidewater catering for our daughters wedding. The food was amazing from the unique appetizers to the outrageous cupcakes and everything in between!! Our guests raved about the dinner. But probably what really sets them apart is their professionalism. They just arrived took over and made it effortless. Every detail had been taken care of they were very friendly and professional and willing to do whatever was needed to make our day special. Keri is an absolute gem. She goes with the flow was willing to make constant changes and was encouraging and so helpful in guiding me through this process in such strange and changing times!!. Thank you so much for making the day so special.

The last time I ordered from this company they messed up my order. That was about a year ago. Today I have them another chance at they are in my place of work and I am only aloud 20 min lunches and it's inside my job. I again went without food as they couldn't keep onions off my wrap and decided no onions meant extra onions. Simple requests are unmanageable.
