If you have the opportunity to work with Jeff at Convivial Catering for any event, do it! Jeff and his attentive staff catered our wedding this last summer and it was wonderful. Not only was the food delicious, but the presentation was beautiful as well. Jeff was accommodating to work with from the very start. My groom and I wanted to serve food that highlighted both of our cultural backgrounds (Southern, Cuban and Portuguese) and that would also be appetizing to the many guests traveling here from different parts of the country. Jeff at Convivial worked with us to come up with a menu of buttermilk fried chicken sliders, mini pressed Cuban sandwiches and Portuguese shrimp cakes to serve as appetizers accompanied by fresh blanched green beans, amazing summer salad and both a vegetarian and seafood/meat paella for the main course. After the menu was created, Jeff prepared a delicious tasting for us which left us wanting more. After the tasting Jeff was an excellent asset in helping to secure rentals, make bar suggestions, adjust numbers and scheduling etc based on what was needed. His courtesy and customer service throughout the entire process was great. The day of the wedding the food turned out superb! Being that we were in a venue that had no kitchen or running water this was quite the accomplishment. Jeff and his staff built a kitchen on site that must have served all their needs because the food was spot on. I had many guest comments on how unique, fun and most of all delicious the food was. Even my vegetarian/ vegan friends exclaimed how the vegetable paella was the best wedding food they had ever been treated to! Jeff and his Convivial staff really went above and beyond to help us plan, organize and execute the best day ever! Thank you!!

I cant say enough great things about Convivial Catering, and Jeff, the owner. Jeff was recommended to me from a friend and I’m so glad that I went with him! From the start, Jeff was easy to work with; he was always on top of things and he responded promptly to calls and emails. By the end, I felt like I was communicating with a friend, not just a catering company that we hired for our wedding. Also, the food was out of this world! Unfortunately, we didn’t have an opportunity to eat too much during the reception. Luckily, our wedding coordinator backed up a to-go box for us which we ate as soon as we got to the hotel. I want to have another wedding just so I can eat more of Jeffs food! We will definitely be using Convivial Catering for our other parties and celebrations in the future.

Wow. We needed a catering service for our business lunch and hiring convivial and jeff worked out far better than we anticipated. The range of food was great, everything was done well, and jeff our personal chef was attentive to our needs and got it right. After so many disasters with personal chefs and poor quality food I was glad for this breathe of fresh air. Well be hiring convivial again for another upscale business lunch.

Needed a breakfast catering for our night shift employees on a very short notice. Jeff at Convivial was able to come through and provide world class gourme breakfast. Their staff was very nice and professional and set up and cleaned up very quickly. Needless to say the food was phenomenal!!

Absolutely the best caterer anywhere! I have used Convivial for over 5 years for everything from big company picnics to fancy 5 course dinners. The food and the service have never failed to impress! I am a RAVING fan!
