    I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Catering By Uptown. Even during the pandemic which I know was just as hard for them as it was for us. We decided to move our original May wedding date to September. Our venue was no longer available for that day, but our second choice venue was, and it was beautiful, so we were thankful for that. As it got closer and closer to our new September date, rules were constantly changing (masks, head counts, etc) it was getting closer to our final payment being due. When we weren't sure what we wanted to do yet, they did give us an extension both times to make sure we thought it over. We decided not to have a big wedding anymore as it just was not fully what we wanted with all the COVID restrictions put in place. So we did not get our original deposit back, which I completely understand because even if something else happened and it wasn't a pandemic and we ended up not having the wedding, that deposit is non refundable. We asked if we could do just a small ceremony on that day since we already had it booked for the big wedding and they said yes! We did end up having to do it earlier in the day (our original wedding was supposed to be at 6 PM and our small ceremony ended up being at 1 PM) but it was beautiful. They even made us a little cake to either cut there or take home!! It was really amazing of them to do that for us. Our wedding coordinator Cassidy was wonderful!! She answered the millions of questions I had an any given moment lol. So even though it was not the wedding that we had originally planned, they were able to work with us to provide us with a beautiful small intimate wedding ceremony. We can't thank you enough!!!

    Relaxed happy bride: )

    My new husband and I just shared our special day with our most loved at uptown catering's venue Celebrations at the Bay and everything was spectacular!! Throughout the planning process the uptown staff was very helpful and supportive. Over the past week and a half our family and friends cannot stop raving about all aspects. Food was incredible, staff was nice, I am even getting compliments on those "special touches" which the venue set up and put together for us: ) if you are looking for a company you can trust fully with you're big day and truly enjoy yourself uptown and in particular celebrations is the way to go!!

    The coordinator for our event was Alma - I have no words to express my gratitude towards Alma and her staff.

    A Family Affair Catering provided exceptional service for my friend's 75th birthday celebration,…read morewhich I hosted for 105 guests. The food was absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of flavorful options that truly pleased the crowd. The presentation and overall setup were beautiful and added an elegant touch to the event. Chef Darryl was professional, organized, and a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. The pricing was very reasonable, and he even offered a wonderful tasting prior to signing the contract, which gave us great confidence in our decision. I highly recommend A Family Affair Catering for any special occasion.

    To consider this a legitimate "business" is laughable, just like their food. Arrived over an hour…read morelate to an event and instead of being apologetic, had an attitude. Dinner was for 25 + people and there was barely enough food for 12. Not that this mattered, as EVERYTHING was inedible and there were no plates, cutlery or napkins provided. I take that back, the store brought $2.00 (price still on) cornbread and $16.00 cake were the ONLY items edible. The Mac and Cheese was dry and bland. I will give them credit for it being both overcooked and undercooked all in the same batch. I'm still trying to make sense of that! The only adjective that even remotely describes this Mac and Cheese is "disrespectful". Like, seriously, the disrespect was 10/10. The chicken was undercooked and bland. How do you make jerk chicken bland and soggy? I'm actually curious. The "blackened" salmon was overcooked yet not blackened, creating another "make it make sense" moment. I immediately spat out the greens. They were undercooked, not under-seasoned but literally "not seasoned". Wait, I take that back too, if you count the dirt and grit as seasoning. They should be ashamed of themselves for ripping people off. Pictures don't lie. The fact that they were sent pictures and still stood behind their product tells you all you need to know. Please, please, PLEASE do not let these people ruin your event and more importantly your special moments and memories. There are so many other respectable and legitimate Black-owned catering companies i.e. Ohhs and Ahhs, Henry's, Hitching Post.

    Thank you La Prima Catering for saving our holiday dinner. Ordering was a breeze and Karla was as…read morenice as could be. She patiently answered all of my questions and made sure my order was correct. I have never ordered from a catering service and I was nervous! I was so impressed that I am doing the happy dance. The brisket was tasty and they even sent over extra gravy for the brisket. The sweet potato and carrot side dish was mouth watering. Even on zoom, my family and I were trying to figure out the ingredients. It was delicious. The chicken soup had large pieces of chicken and carrots. They gave us a large number of matzah balls for the soup too. The chocolate torte was fabulous. I couldn't help from licking the knife as I portioned it out for my family. The delivery was excellent and the delivery person was wearing gloves and a mask. We were missing one item and I called Karla, she had someone deliver it within minutes. The portions were plentiful for 10 people and the price was reasonable. I highly recommend La Prima catering and I won't hesitate to order from them again. Thank you for saving our holiday celebration!

    Anyone who's made a proper Passover dinner knows that it isn't for the faint hearted…read more Ya gotta have brisket. I'm not exactly sure why you have to have brisket. I'd totally be fine with a nice prime rib one year... but you have to have brisket. Your meal also must include no leavaners... rising agents... yeast... anything like that. Then you have to have *Charoset (basically an apple and nut salad) *Horseradish *It'd be weird to not have gefilte fish *100 other things Basically it's a pain in the neck. So just the thought of trying to shop and get all of these things in the current climate was mind numbing. La Prima Catering to the rescue! Luckily I am part of a group where local restaurants and food services are posting info and I caught wind that La Prima was taking last minute orders for Passover. The price was right, the meal sounded delicious, and the woman Karla even reached out to me after I asked a question on the message board. It was clear she was responsive. Let me tell you! They really killed it, to be honest. Everything we got was fantastic. The brisket was super tender and they included a TON of extra gravy like my mother had asked for. The matzo ball soup was quite good with tons of fresh hand shredded chicken pieces. The tzimmes (which I had never had before) was indulgent with a rich depth of sweetness that in itself deserves 5 stars. The meal also included charoset (I prefer mine with a little more wine flavor). And the flourless chocolate cake which was chocolate decadence in every way shape and form. It was rich, and chocolatey, and it was honestly a mousse like consistency which I didn't mind one bit. It was the perfect finish. Me and my fam did our first virtual Passover like many of us around the nation and it went really well. I might honestly lobby for us to just order from La Prima next year to save one of us the hassle. I would be totally fine making like one thing (maybe a potato kugel) and getting the rest from La Prima. It was that good. Thank you La Prima. Thank you for saving our Passover. Thank you for dealing with my Jewish mother (she's the one that ordered). And thank you for putting a lot of love into that food you sent. It really made our holiday.
