AMAZING!! Food presentation, taste, and service was outstanding on the day. The booking process was seamless from initial booking to final menu selection and event timing, with constant communication all through the process. All aspects of the event far exceeded expectations and made my fathers 80th Birthday a special and memorable occasion for all his friends and guests. I could not recommend Catered By Matt and his team highly enough. Will definitely be requesting their services for future events. THANK YOU!
Outstanding food and service; Matt is a star and he is helpful, fun and a great chef. AND it isn’t just about Matt, the food was uterly fantastic! We highly recommend Catered By Matt and only wish we had another event to host soon! Thank you Matthew.
