Awarded Best of Zola
I have had the pleasure of using 3 C's Catering several times, for small events at my home, catered lunches all the way up to my daughter's wedding and my mother's celebration of life. And I have attended many events where 3 C's Catering was providing the food services. Everything is always perfect. The food is amazing! No matter what it is, from simple sandwiches, to top round of beef, everything is prepared deliciously. It's always fresh, hot and yummy! REAL mashed potatoes, tender meats, fresh everything. And the staff. so delightful. I attend a monthly lunch meeting, where they rotate the catering staff. 3 C's staff are the only ones who walk around the ballroom and collect plates from the attendees, and ensure that nothing else is needed. The other catering companies don't bother to pick up dishes or clear tables, they leave it for the guests to do. I will continue to use them any time I have an event, and will always recommend them to anyone having a function. When we had my mother's celebration of life for 100 people, and I saw the 3 C's staff walk in, I knew I didn't have to worry about anything to do with the food service. It was a relief knowing that they were there, and that I could have confidence that everything around the food would be perfect.

Our focus is on only 1 - 2 weddings a week with an average of 100 guests. We prefer to do limit our weddings so we can spend more quality time focusing on our clients.

We couldn't be happier with the incredible service provided by Catering by Robert for our wedding! From start to finish, Susan was a delight to work with—she was always prompt in her responses and incredibly knowledgeable about our wedding venue, which made planning so much easier. One of the highlights of working with this company was attending their group tastings. These events, held every few months, gave us the chance to sample a wide variety of dishes and helped us create the perfect menu for our big day. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the food! The appetizers were a particular hit—everyone loved the coconut shrimp and mini red stuffed potatoes. The presentation and flavors were absolutely top-notch. Susan’s staff was kind, professional, and attentive throughout the entire event. The bartenders were also fantastic—friendly, efficient, and kept the drinks flowing smoothly all night long. We’re so grateful to Catering by Robert for their professionalism, attention to detail, and for helping make our wedding day truly magical. Highly recommend!

Every detail was perfectly planned and executed. They dedicated a server to me and my husband for cocktails so that we could eat between chatting with guests and so our needs were met. They figured out how to do a wedding cake tower of banana pudding when we decided we didn't want a cake. I wish we could get married again so I could work with this team and eat their awesome food

They were ALL delicious. Our guests raved about everything and especially the greens! We also opted for a grazing table for our guests. It was beautifully presented and absolutely beautiful and delicious. Our guests were in awe! She even made us our own plate because she knew we were busy talking with our guests.
