Cari and all the other employees of Sarasota Catering far exceeded our expectations! My daughter and I had to plan her wedding from long distance, but Cari made it easier to plan than if I had held the wedding in my own town. She offered suggestions and recommendations on other vendors, many of whom we used. I wish that I had listened to her more, as the vendors that we hired on our own were disappointing and the ones that she recommended were wonderful. Everything was exactly as Cari described and even better. From boxing up individual cake portions for guests, adding additional table decorations at the last minute, providing special guests with personal requests, keeping our cake cool in 100 degree heat...(the list could go on and on), we were overly impressed with every staff person (and, especially, Cari and Dwight) and their desire to go out of the way to make our day memorable. I don't know what else they could have added to make the day any more special than it was!

Sarasota Catering Company did an amazing job on our Brunch reception! Cari and her team listened to all of our wishes down to the last detail and made everything happen!!! I really could not have gotten through the day without them. They were a "full service" caterer and helped with everything from food, to timing at the ceremony! Thanks again Cari and Sarasota Catering for all your help!

As a Concierge with a major Resort, I am used to being very organized, detail minded and used to doing everything myself. With Sarasota Catering Company, I put all of my trust into Cari's professional and caring hands. She, Lance and the entire staff made every decision the right one and even suggested on many occasions how to save some money. At our wedding, they were like a well-oiled machine allowing us to really have a good time and not worry. I would whole-heartedly recommend them to future brides and to anyone who requests my opinion at my Resort. Great job!

We just had our wedding catered by Sarasota Catering Company. The food was spectacular and the staff was on time, professional and went above and beyond. Dwight was great and even saved the last delicious crab cake for me- the bride. Despite the fact my wedding was a small event of only 24 people, I was treated as if I was planning an event of 250. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, from the planning to execution. Thank you Sarasota Catering Company!
