3 C's Catering 

5.0

Tampa, FL
  • Starts at $500

3 C's Catering provides reliable, professional and affordable catering in the greater Tampa, Florida and surrounding areas. We proudly incorporate our delicious, homemade, award-winning food and will develop a specific menu to fit your taste or budget. We cater all types of events: business meetings, conferences, weddings, church gatherings, and special events, so let us cater your next event and impress your guests.

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.

Catering By Robert / Event Concepts . FL 

5.0

Tampa, FL
  • Starts at $3,995

We are small, established, award-winning catering and event planning company which specializes in weddings held on the West Coast of Florida. 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 just used Catering by Robert for our wedding catering on 12/07/24 and we couldn't have imagined having anyone else for our wedding. The food was great, their staff was amazing, and the attention to detail was unmatched. When you sign a contract with Catering by Robert, you become part of their family while you're planning a wedding. Susan, who runs the operation, makes you feel like you're the only wedding they're planning. You'll be invited to bi-monthly tastings from signing until your wedding. We had no doubt that the menu we were choosing was reflective of exactly what we wanted. You'll also attend a design meeting with their team to ensure that the tables you're presenting match your vision. ....and when you change your mind or have any questions, Susan is only a phone call away. They also double as your on-site coordinator for the day, which was a huge help and weight off of our shoulders. They provide linens, multiple centerpiece options, and do the setup/breakdown of your table décor (including cake table, guest tables, gift and card tables etc). For any large events moving forward, Catering by Robert will consistently be our first choice!

Hi, I’m Chef Andre, the chef + owner behind Prime Plates. I’ve spent years cooking for private clients, weddings, and intimate events across Tampa Bay, transforming food from “something served” into something experienced. My background is in American comfort, Cuban flavors, Italian classics, Asian and modern fusion cooking.

This business is the perfect blend of both worlds, allowing her to be a stay-at-home mom while continuing to create memorable experiences for others.

    The Grazing Pony made my shower so special with their bottomless cannoli! We loved that they were able to take our favorite desserts and turn them into creative cannoli flavors. It was such a unique twist and way more memorable than just setting out cupcakes. My guests are still talking about it, and it was the perfect sweet touch to the day!
