Amazing Experience. I ate my steak with a fork it was so tender. Beautiful Décor, they have all my favorite items for the most beautiful tablescapes!
Caribbean Caterers made my sisters baby shower the best it could be. We used them for food and service for the adults while I handled the kids food. I only wish that I used them for everything. I won’t be making that mistake next time.I highly recommend them. They are professional and the food is delicious. The servers did their job so well that my sister had said “they are here but you couldn’t tell they were here” and that is what truly makes a caterer in my mind.
Gillian from Caribbean Caterers was a joy to work with! So flexible with us during COVID when we had to postpone our wedding and wonderful at bringing our vision, menu, and bar to life on our big day. Our guests are still telling us how great the food was and both my husband and I are Jamaican. Thank you so much to the team at Caribbean Caterers for being so amazing!
Let me first say how much I love and appreciate Mrs. Gillian and Caribbean Caters as my wedding caterer. So first my wedding was during covid and that it self was a headache. However, they took extra precautions to keep things safe and sanitary. When my husband and I did our tasting back ion 2020 it was private and Mrs. Gillian made us feel like her family. I think with us all having that Caribbean blood. She embraced us and was open to our ideas and vision and made it to hers, which we loved. The blessing of all of this was that Mrs. Gillian had already had a relationship with our venue which made things even more comfortable and the process more smooth. We received SO many compliments about how great the food was and my cousin continues to remind me of how good the salmon was. They have plenty of options for all dietary restrictions. My absolute favorite were the crab cakes, salmon and stuffed chicken. The linens they used really added the extra “sparkle” to make our room beautiful! I also really appreciated them bringing food and drinks to the bridal suite for the groom and I. She even had plenty of sparkling cider for my husband who does not drink alcohol. We would definitely hire them again in the future for other events.
Caribbean Caterers is AMAZING! We would highly recommend them for any catering job - big or small. They were efficient and friendly and went well above and beyond the services I'd asked for. And the food was delicious - all our guests raved about the bacon lollipops and the meatballs. You can't go wrong hiring Caribbean Caterers!
Gillian and Sally were such a pleasure to work with. They were very responsive and professional. Presentation, service and quality were amazing. All my guests were so pleased! I will definitely use this caterer for any future needs.
Caribbean Caterers was fantastic! Gillian was extremely patient, responsive and helpful in arranging our menu and overall set up throughout every stage of our wedding planning. The food was delicious and the wait staff were attentive and efficient. Thank you for making our wedding smooth and enjoyable.
Severely disappointing experience. Gillian was totally unorganized and unprofessional.Gillian fell short of our expectations, and the photos and reviews online are misleading.She was supposed to help draft a floorplan but only came up with a doodle. I actually drafted a floorplan and sent it to her, a job she was supposed to do, and she didn't pay any attention to it.On the day of our event, Gillian set out seven tables instead of the six we needed. We provided our own chargers, due to her marked up prices between proposals, and she tried to say we didn't have the amount we did - because of the extra table. She actually was abrasive and confrontational about it to my wife, accusing us of holding things up - saying she just had people standing around... All because of her lack of attention to detail and disregard for the plans we attempted to put in place. It was clear Gillian was unorganized, but her demeanor was truly unpleasant and unprofessional.She caused my wife unnecessary stress, due to her lack of organization and people skills. My wife had tried to help re-explain things to Gillian, but Gillian was rude and dismissive.She was confrontational to my wife before our event, and even interrupted my wife while she was talking to our guests during our event - to ask when the food should go out. Ironically, we provided her a timeline and she didn't follow through with that either. As a 'professional,' you'd expect better.The bar also ran out of alcohol. Fortunately her staff contacted her, after I realized the situation and confronted them, and she went out to get more alcohol. But they ran out of several other things at the bar and the drinks weren't uniform.The appetizer plates were also underwhelming and did not meet our expectations. We weren't offered a tasting or an example of how the food would look, and we were left underwhelmed on the day of our event. The photos online are misleading.Speaking of photos, Gillian also had a mask less photographer with her - who she didn't introduce to us - nor did she ask permission for him to be on site. This is classless and disrespectful.Her crew only had to set out table cloths, napkins and silverware - and they didn't even have that done before our guests arrived, due to her lack of organization and blatant disregard for the floorplan and schematics we provided her.She had a sour attitude and made it clear we were not a priority. When we arrived early to the venue, the venue owner and Gillian had been talking inside as we walked in. The venue owner greeted us, but Gillian just walked off. She was very rude throughout our event and had a poor demeanor. She seemed to be seeking out how to do the bare minimum, as we rescheduled due to COVID-19.She also couldn't provide an itemized bill, and I noticed five discrepancies between recent proposals from her - which illustrates how the prices seem to be 'made up.'She also put a tip cup on the bar, when the bartender was making $80/hr, without asking our permission, which exemplifies her classlessness.The main course was decent, but nothing spectacular. It truly wasn't worth the money, and we were left severely dissatisfied and disappointed.I am glad this was for an anniversary party and not our actual wedding, because it was a nightmare dealing with Gillian. Her staff were much more professional and friendly, but I caution against doing any business with Gillian or Caribbean Caterers.If I were to use one word to describe Gillian, it would be 'shiesty.' If I were to use one word to describe Caribbean Caterers, it would be 'underwhelming.'

Caribbean Caterers are the best. Caroline and Gillian are so nice and I enjoyed working with them. It was very easy to stay in touch with them, they were very responsive the whole time and made sure everything is in a way we asked for. I can’t be any happier with our choice of caterer for our wedding. The decoration was amazing, the food was great. Everything was in place. I definitely recommend them to anyone who is planning to have a stress free wedding or any other ceremony.
