Primizie Catering did an exceptional job catering a milestone birthday party for about 100 guests at our home. Every aspect of their performance was outstanding. Primizie was very easy to work with and offered valuable suggestions for us to create the event we envisioned. From the contract process to clean up, everything was completely customer focused. I was especially impressed by their flexibility and their stepping up to help with activities that were never discussed during the contract process. The food was beautifully presented and delicious. Many guests were highly complimentary about the food. Primizie was a major contributor to making our party fun and memorable. read more

We used Primizie for an elegant, multi-course sit down dinner with wine tasting and they nailed every bit of it. Highly recommend.

This guy was so rude! I accidentally parked in a spot that was labeled catering (truly I didn't see it, it was grey paint). So, he blocked my car and I sat there for over 30 min waiting for him to move his car so I could get out. There were many other open places right next to the one I was in so, this was a passive aggressive move. When he finally came out to move his car, he was so rude!!!! He basically said he did it because I was parked in his spot. I would assume someone in a food service business relies on word of mouth referrals. So, I will make sure to never use their service and make sure that no one I know does either! I wouldn't want to risk him being rude like this during a catering event. read more

Primizie exceeded our expectations in accommodating us for our wedding! 1. We had high demands about our food and ingredients (ie; gluten free, dairy free, corn free, organic, wild caught, free range, grass-fed ... yes, we're *those people* and they delightfully put up with us!) 2. Adrianne was so gracefully patient with us during so many changes, modifications, questions, questions and more questions. Bless her. 3. Emily was an assertive go-getter who was honest, straight-to-the-point and organized! Her funny and energetic work ethic gave us so much confidence in how everything would be planned, staged and directed. 4. The chef, Trey? We had 65 guests to serve with our long list of ingredient specifications and he OVER DELIVERED! We were thinking, "okay, I know we're being super extra, so we'll just be happy with the allergy-free, clean, organic whole foods," not expecting the orgasmic experience that literally EVERYONE there couldn't stop talking about! It was out of this world! The chicken, lamb, filet and salmon melted in our mouths and exploded with cosmic flavors. 5. COVID: yep, we had to cancel our original 120-guest event in April due to the early stages of quarantine and then cut our guest list in 1/2 and rescheduled for October 2020. We kept everything outside and spread out over our 5-1/2 acres, yet another logistical challenge that Adrianne and Emily handled seamlessly. Adrianne was so reassuring through it all and between us and my mother-in-law, she really *handled it*, nomsayin? They mindfully took every cautious and proactive measure to protect themselves, their employees and everyone at our wedding to ensure our event didn't become *one of those* you read/hear about on the news (ie "50 People Hospitalized with COVID After Attending Wedding in Texas!"). ***After 4 weeks, we have followed up, as planned, with each person who attended: not ONE covid case to report! (fyi, we also had most of our guests get tested prior to the event) *** We had literally had 20-30 people asking us "WHAT catering company is this!!?? Can I have their information??!!" We are Holistic Health practitioners, and most of those who attended our wedding are colleagues, instructors, and big-name health & wellness thought leaders- and EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM said this was by far the best food and catering experience they'd ever had because it is so rare to get both high standard quality ingredients with all of the GF, DF, CF demands... AND such amazing flavor and experience. They were all so blown away. Thank you SO MUCH Primizie team!!!! read more

I cannot stress enough how disappointed I am to write this review. I was engaged this year, you see. And then my fiance turned out to be a pretty bad guy, and the engagement ended. AFTER signing a bunch of contracts. Luckily for me, the engagement ended more than 9 months before my wedding day. 90% of those contractors that I worked with gave my family the majority of our money back and had souls. They understood what a phenomenally upsetting, and fiscally damaging time this was for my family. Not Primizie. Despite the fact that they had nearly a YEAR to rebook my date, they gave us virtually nothing back. We had one tasting with them and they did maybe two week's work on a quote for us. Despite that, they took well over 2500 dollars of my family's money. I'm appalled. If you value people who actually care about their customers and I don't know, have a sense of decency, I'd stay far, far away. They got a star because I had originally chosen them for the quality of the food, which was very good. If I could give them negative stars for what they cost my family, I would. read more

I saw such good reviews and was excited to start my catering discussion with Emily to be provided a quote for my October wedding. I sent over the questionnaire and received no response, I followed up about a month later because I was cleaning out my inbox and received an apology with a promise to get a quote to me within a week. It has been over that, and I am pretty disappointed in general with caterers in this area and their lack of response. It is already stressful enough trying to plan out the logistics of a wedding and the caterer is one of the biggest if not biggest expenditure. You would think businesses would take this more seriously, but I guess she must have enough work to get on by and not care about the bad impressions that are left when people get snubbed trying to get a quote. For shame read more

Wow is all I can say. Emily is like no one I've ever seen before. Let's see where to begin? My wife & I eloped in October and just this July planned an extended weekend so all our family (95% live out of state) could travel and finally celebrate with us. My wife & I live in Houston but chose Austin as our destination for all the reasons imagined. Our problem with this decision was that we were 2 1/2 hours drive away and would be gone for 3 weeks overseas during the final stage leading up to the event. What to do? It seemed our plans were overly aggressive... until we came across Emily Horvath. My wife looked at many austin event planners and caterers for help. There was something about Emily's website that conveyed everything we were looking for. Boy were we wrong. She was so much MORE! She planned, she advised, she assisted, she bargained and negotiated and she helped us stay under our budget. In a nutshell, she was Superwoman. She really helped to plan the entire weekend (extended, mind you) AND the big reception finale. And nary a glitch. Our family had a blast, as we hoped it would happen. Everything went smoothly and we were made to feel like royalty. The staff was awesome and fun. The food (here's to you chefs) was AWESOME! Emily's coordination seemed effortless and she never lost her composure once, even when my wonderful wife & I were feeling the weight of throwing such a huge event, Emily was as cool as a cucumber. Emily... THANK YOU! We feel forever indebted to you for all of your hard work. For those of you looking for a full event planner/caterer/adviser/designer... whatever. Call Emily. You won't ever regret it. Rob & Roxanne Paiva read more

Some people may not realize this but the Primizie folks also make retail snacks too. So even if you dont have a catering need you can buy their creations. Their various flavored bread crisps are fantastic. Im particularly fond of their 7 herb blend. Very flavorful, great texture and ultimately tasty. I cater it to myself! read more

I used Primizie for my wedding and worked with Patrick. I can not say enough great things about both the food and the service. First, Patrick is an absolute doll. He totally got what my husband and I expected for our menu and delivered and then some. He was very open to adjusting the menu, he was extremely friendly and attentive. I want Patrick to be my new BFF! The only negative was that because he's their sales person and not the chef, he wasn't there the day of our wedding. I would have loved to have seen him that night so I could thank him and he could have partied with us. What can I say, he seems like a fun guy! =) Not only was Patrick's service great but the entire staff was wonderful. They were super attentive at my wedding, making sure I always had a glass of water or anything else I needed. Actually they originally brought me wine but I told one waiter that I just wanted water for the night and he made sure the rest of the staff knew. They bussed tables fast and even my guests commented on how nice the staff was. Ok so the food? What is there to say but A-MAZ-ING!!! Everything was delicious and we got soooooo many compliments from our guests about how it wasn't "standard wedding food," that it was better than most restaurants and how unique it was. We had the butternut squash gnocchi instead of a standard mashed potato or rice side dish and it was the single most commented on item of the menu. People loved it and it could easily have been a main course, it was THAT GOOD! We had two professional chefs among our guests, one of whom cooks for a Michelin Star rated restaurant in San Francisco, and they were the first to remark about how great the food was. Finally, they send you off with a HUGE bag of food and a bottle of champagne. My husband and I both agree that one of our favorite memories of our wedding was actually back at the hotel when we laid all the food out and had a picnic from the leftovers. Completely made possible by Patrick and Primizie!!! read more

Primizie catered our non profit Gala for 400 and did an AMAZING job! The food was so delicious and the presentation was fabulous. Our crowd was so pleased and commented over and over how wonderful the food was - especially the beef that literally melted in your mouth because it was so tender. The team was very professional and kind - always there to help in any way to make your event go smooth. Cant recommend them enough! read more

Emily is amazing! I live in Dallas, but my husband and I got married in Austin. It is super difficult trying to plan a wedding out of town, but luckily I had Emily! I found Events by Emily by asking around on message boards (also on Yelp talk), and a few people recommended them. They were just what I was looking for! She went above and beyond, she really knows what she is doing! Not only was the food at our reception AMAZING (people are still emailing me to tell me they want recipes lol), but everything I envisioned was brought to fruition. Also, the waitstaff was sooooo sweet and so awesome. Very much on top of everything. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend using Events by Emily....you will not be dissapointed. read more

I introduced my clients to Primizie for their March 2013 wedding because I had used them in the past and never been disappointed. The couple was from New York and having a destination wedding outside of Austin, so they were relying on my recommendations. My bride and groom still met with a few other caterers, but Amy and her team at Primizie were able to provide the food, service and quality my clients wanted and deserved for their wedding. They were so impressed, we hired Primizie to not only cater the wedding, but the rehearsal dinner as well. They were able to deliver a delicious, authentic Mexican dinner for the RD, and a Wild Game Texas dinner for the wedding, which everyone raved about. The food was absolutely delicious both nights, and the service from Amy and her team was beyond wonderful. I have always loved Primizie's food, but what really stood out for me at this wedding was the service. When I got busy with the rehearsal and was short-handed, Amy's team stepped in and helped decorate giant trees around the rehearsal dinner venue with paper lanterns and pom poms the bride had provided. You can imagine my surprise when I returned from the rehearsal to see what her team had accomplished, it really showed the character of not only Amy but her team as well. I really can't thank Amy and everyone at Primizie enough for having such a huge role in making my client's wedding memorable! read more

I can't imagine a better caterer. We had an atypical wedding with Chinese food right as people walked in the door with two bars all before the service started. There were Mexican apetizers of another afterwards, followed by donuts and ice cream with a variety of personal drinks. We changed a few things at the tasting and they never blinked, there was never food missing, they were gracious and smiling. If we were high maintenance, they never let on and our guests were treated beyond what we could have imagined with very delicious food. read more

Primizie catered my wedding last month, and I literally can't explain how delicious the food was. I went to 5 or 6 caterers, many of which had overpriced food that literally tasted like salt with a side of salt. Emily at Primizie was so patient and wonderful to work with. We had a relatively limited budget for the food, and while I felt terrible having to cut costs here and there, she worked with me the entire time to make sure that we had an ideal wedding day. People came up to me throughout the night complimenting the food, which is usually a rarity at weddings. The portions are a bit on the smaller side, but they were delicious nonetheless. I'm so glad that we chose Primize for our caterer - HIGHLY recommended! read more

Emily did a great job helping at our wedding. I had planned everything but I needed her to come in and coral everything on the actual day and the few weeks leading up to the event. Especially because I had planned everything from Dallas and was getting married in Austin. It was great because I literally took everything I had done and was like "here! and plopped it in her management lap." She handled all last minute confirmations making sure every i was dotted and t were crossed. Since I had chosen a venue where there was no wedding planner, I thought using her would be a good route to take. I remember my friend telling me what a waste it was for her to spend ALLLL this money for her wedding and then the day comes and she was so stressed out because (there wasn't enough seating, the music wasn't playing, food issues, and on and on). Point being it came through loud and clear, I was not going to make that mistake twice. On my wedding day, I was TOTALLY relaxed and felt at ease knowing I had people managing everything including the time and pace of the wedding. I give Emily 5 stars! read more

I had such a positive experience working with Amy at Primizie. Primizie catered my wedding the weekend of August 24, 2013, and from the get go, Amy was a joy to work with. I tend to be type A and can over manage situations however after meeting Amy, I was able to relax and knew that everything would be executed flawlessly. I appreciate Primizie's flexibility with respect to budget and last minute changes as well as the laid back-ness of the entire staff. It really made any stress that I had disappear. I received (and continue to receive) so many compliments on the food and excellent service and all of the credit is due to Primizie. Thank you to Amy and to the Primizie staff for helping my wedding day be incredible! read more

Excellent food at a wedding? Who knew this was possible??? My son and his fiance chose Primizie because they said no other caterers came close on quality and flavor. I was still skeptical because I've had so many bad meals at weddings, but Primizie proved me wrong. I can't count the number of people who commented to me about how much they enjoyed the food from the passed apps (especially the brisket-stuffed potatoes) to the food stations (my son still says the mac 'n cheese is the best he's ever had). People even raved about the roasted veggies! Also Emily was a pleasure to work with. She provided guidance through the entire process, even on the things we did ourselves (desserts, rentals, and liquor), and she embraced everything we threw at her (big ice cubes for the cigar bar liquors...sure!). I have an only child, so no more weddings for us, but I see a Primizie catered party in my future! read more

Catering After extensively researching Austin caterers, I knew Events by Emily was the perfect fit for my wedding. She was referred by a good friend who has a flawless, annual cocktail party bartended by Emily's staff. Emily responded quickly to my inquiry and provided an excellent, detailed estimate and menu options. Compared to other caterers who had a set menu at set prices with little flexibility, Emily stood out from the crowd. I had choices from the very beginning and always within my budget. Events by Emilyis licensed to serve alcohol, but allowed me to purchase my own alcohol from a local vendor and her staff served the alcohol at my wedding. This option allowed us to afford an open bar at the wedding, and we got to have our favorite liquor, wine and beers. Again, compare this experience to other catering companies who have high prices for pre-selected, undesirable alcohol menus that they charge per-person at the event. As our guest list grew, Emily accommodated with no issue. When we wanted to taste the different menu choices, Emily and her top chef visited our home for a tasting, after work hours to accommodate my husband's demanding work schedules. The food was delicious and we received a million compliments on the food at the wedding. Emily is also available as a wedding coordinator and her knowledge is invaluable; she is able to pull your vendors together and avoid issues that someone focused only on catering might not address. At the wedding, Emily's staff arrived on time, and the catering went off without a hitch. Although they were not required to assist, Emily's staff helped the venue with "the flip" - moving ceremony chairs and bringing out the dining tables, which made the whole event stay on time. They served cocktails and appetizers on time, transitioned quickly into the dinner, and we cut cake and toasted during speeches - all on schedule without delay. Her staff cleaned up thoroughly and helped us transition into self-serve (we had the venue very late into the evening). They boxed up left-over food and accommodated any additional requests. They even loaded gifts into our car before they left. Her staff is friendly and fun - I would highly recommend Events by Emily to my friends and family for weddings, parties, bar/bat mitzvah, fundraising events -- you name it. I will be using Events by Emily again in the future. Save yourself the time researching other options because I have already done the work - Events by Emily is the absolute best Austin caterer! Catering/Event Planning I'm a control freak and did not want an Austin wedding coordinator or even a day-of wedding coordinator. On the insistence of my now-husband, I agreed to get a day-of coordinator so I would not need to worry about anything the day of the wedding. I had already hired Events by Emily to cater the wedding and it was clear she was very organized and incredibly knowledgeable about event planning, inside and out. Hiring her for the day-of planning services was the best decision I made. Emily helped us plan the ceremony (and we had a HUGE wedding party, so the planning was a bit overwhelming). Emily attended our meeting with the venue owners and touched on so many small details I never would have known to address. Emily even met with us a second time before the wedding just to hammer out the final ceremony details. When it started pouring rain the week of the wedding, Emily contacted the venue owners and a party rental company to set up a tent. The venue had never had a tent out there, and Emilyconvinced them to prune some trees to fit the tent! I didn't even have to attend that meeting - Emily just took care of it. At the rehearsal, Emily wrangled our giant wedding party and we were in and out of there in less than an hour. For a wedding party of 25 people, that speed is incredible! On the wedding day, I didn't have to worry about a thing. When we ran out of white wine, Emily sent out staff to pick up more. I didn't forget to eat at the wedding because Emily brought me a plate of food and I got to relax and enjoy myself! The entire wedding was on-schedule without delays. If a vendor ever had an issue - Emily addressed it quickly and efficiently. She was my go-to person for everything from a wedding shuttle sinking in the mud to pinning flowers on my grandmother. I completely trusted her and Emily is simply incredible at what she does - from catering to planning she is an expert at events. Best of all, she is affordable, flexible, and friendly. I highly recommend her for day-of planning and even more highly recommend hiring her as both your coordinator and caterer. Events by Emily is the reason my wedding went off without a hitch! I will be using them again for my parties and events and recommending Events by Emily to friends and family. Top notch. read more

When we got married we used Emily as both our caterer and day-of coordinator. At both activities, Emily was fantastic! Although we didn't want to spend too much, Emily was able to work up a few menu choices in our price range and we ended up with something that tasted fantastic -- friends and relatives have continued to comment about how delicious it was over and over even after the wedding. (Ask her about the truffle macaroni au gratin -- it was really, really good and I wish I had some right now!) For day-of coordination, Emily was also excellent. She was in touch with all my vendors (cake lady, officiant, photographer, speaker rental, etc.) and knew more about their schedules and plans than I did. At our meetings with her she asked all sorts of questions that we hadn't thought of which ensured that everything was taken of. With her help, leading up to the wedding I felt a great sense of calm knowing that everything was taken care of. Additionally, during the wedding itself she was bustling around in the kitchen and the hall making sure everything was set up perfectly and according to schedule. We gave her all the checks for our vendors and then she handled paying them so we didn't even have to think about it during the reception. When we initially met with her while choosing a caterer, she was refreshingly friendly and forthright. Unlike most of the glad-handing car-salesman-type caterers we'd met, she was frank and friendly and enjoyable to talk to. I would absolutely recommend Emily to somebody planning a wedding -- she was totally worth the money we paid! read more

Primize recently catered the rehearsal dinner for my son's wedding. Adrianne Clay was extremely helpful in choosing the menu and planning the event. She had great suggestions and the evening was very special. The Primize staff was professional and the food was executed flawlessly and received rave reviews. read more

Events by Emily was simply awesome. (They are about to take over Primize and start using the Primize name as well) We started talking to Emily in spring of 2011 when we first started planning. But we were all over the place. We knew we really liked her and she was so much more accommodating than anyone else we talked with. We ended up moving our date before we booked her and still were dragging our feet about things. But she was always super helpful. Soooo once we were booked and as we got closer to our wedding she was still super easy to work with despite us changing our mind what seemed like 50 times about everything up until the week before. :) She also isn't out to price gouge you. Her food prices seemed reasonable, she isn't trying to make big marks up on any rentals she gets for you like silverware & glasses, her staff prices seemed reasonable in comparison to the other places we talked with. And for us the big thing was not being stuck to a list of 20 entrees that had preset options like some caterers we talked with. Our wedding has now finally come and gone and everything was simply wonderful. Everyone loved the food, she was able to accommodate last minute additions of some gluten free folks by subbing rice for the pasta. Her staff was always making sure Dan & I had food, beverages, etc. They were right there when I had a question and a few times I ran to the changing room to grab things as we were getting ready to sit for dinner and they were all keeping an eye on me. Everyone has been telling me how wonderful her staff was. We picked out 2 classic cocktails the week before without time to try them. And they were awesomeeee. People said they were best French75s they've had in town. All weekend the family was asking if we brought home the extra food from dinner because they wanted some more of it. How often do you hear that about wedding food? haha Apparently there was also gluten free cake that magically appeared at our wedding. I don't know if she brought it or some of our friends but it was a hit with my father in law. He just kept telling us how someone from the staff brought him a slice of gluten free cake later in the night and how great that was. read more

Emily, Adrianne and the whole Primizie team are truly amazing and a joy to work with! They think of everything, their food is superb, and the staff is truly exceptional. We loved everything that was served at our dinner party. The flow was perfect and their 20 years of experience shines through with every detail. Thanks Primizie for going above and beyond for an exceptional dinner experience!!! read more

We used Primize for our wedding in August 2009. From our first meeting with Robyn to the day of the wedding itself she was wonderful to work with. She meet and exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a catered event! Primize also handled the bars at our wedding, from ordering alcohol to making sure we had enough wait staff and bartenders Robyn took care of it all!! read more

I've been in marketing/event planning for 12+ years, and knew how important it was to pick the right caterer for my wedding. Events by Emily had the sense of urgency I was looking for in service, attention to detail, great staff, and the expertise in delivering quality, delicious cuisine. Emily offered suggests and let us mix and match our Cajun themed menu making it exactly what we wanted. The small details where tended to before we even had to ask. I would absolutely recommend and use Events by Emily for any type of event- private or corporate! read more

Emily and her staff catered our wedding at the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center in May, and it was phenomenal. Our guests are still telling us about how great the food was, multiple people have said it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. We met with other caterers in a similar price range, but none were as responsive or gave us the level of service that Emily did. She worked with us on our desires for the food, even with items that weren't typically on their menu. We had a buffet, and everything went so smoothly from the presentation to the staff subtly inviting each table to get food and clearing plates but leaving the Bride and Groom's so we could eat. When the groom's grandmother had a dietary restriction we did not know about, Emily and her staff put together a plate that was safe for her to eat! The food was almost TOO good, my friends who love to dance were slow to get on the dance floor because they were too full after grabbing seconds! Just incredible service, presentation, and delicious food. They also packed us to-go boxes to bring to our honeymoon suite! read more

Best catering vendor hands down! Our daughter and future son-in-law had done extensive research and, after meeting Primizie's owner Emily and the catering sales manager Julia, they immediately knew this was the direction to go. Their choice was perfect. Our daughter's wedding was more beautiful than we could have imagined. Emily, Julia and their team made it happen from the elegantly laid tables to the exquisitely displayed dinner meal, they worked tirelessly to put their art to form. As beautiful as the dinner was displayed, it was just as amazingly delicious. Compliments from the wedding guests continue to pour in to us. Most went back for seconds, some even asked for recipes, and all wanted to know who did the catering! After selecting Primizie's, it was evident that Events by Emily was going to be our choice for day of coordinator vendor. How right we were to choose Emily. Even as Plan B wedding was initiated due to the "blessing of the rain" that day at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, the compliments from the wedding guests declared it was "the best wedding ever"! Emily moved effortlessly through the entire evening making sure not only the wedding party but all the guests as well were having the time of their lives. Thank you Emily, Julia and your team for making our daughter's wedding one to remember. Your kindness, attention to detail and tremendous work ethic are what makes Primizie's and Events by Emily the only choices for catering and planning! read more

If you're looking for high quality catered food that doesn't taste like typical catered fare, then look no further than Primize. Delicious, restaurant quality cuisine with a wide variety of menu options to choose from, and at a reasonable price per person. Lisa Spedale was especially accommodating- definitely check them out! read more

We worked with Patrick at Primizie for 9 months before our wedding in August 2010 and I honestly could not be any happier with each and every step along the way. He took care of every question, concern, etc with ease and professionalism. He custom made a menu that reflected both my Northwestern tastes as well as my husbands more Southern tastes. He gave us his great opinions and was fun to work with and never made us feel unwelcome. Our whole wedding went off without one single hitch and they made it as stress free and relaxing as anyone possibly could. And the best part was we got SOOOO MANY COMPLIMENTS on the food. Its amazing!!! Better than a resteraunt any day. I could have lived off the food they served us for the rest of my life. If you need a caterer, do yourself a giant favor and call Primizie and ask for Patrick. read more

For our wedding, the food was the most important component. Which is exactly why we went with Emily and Primizie. The food was exceptional -- both in our tasting and on the day of. They worked with us to concept and create a menu that was both elegant and filled with our favorite comfort foods. From short rib sliders to butternut squash soup with mini grilled cheese to outstanding fish and chips and a mac and cheese bar that everyone still talks about, they delivered. And their staff was equally impressive: attentive, pleasant, accommodating and wonderful with guests. I just can't ooh and aah enough! Thank you, Primizie! read more

I can't say enough good things about Primizie Catering. I worked with Amy W. to cater a conference for 200 people at UT Austin in November 2013. From the very beginning, she was proactive, attentive, detail-oriented, and fun to work with. She helped us create a menu that catered to diverse dietary restrictions and the food was high-quality and DELICIOUS! The Primizie staff at the event were extremely hard working - not once did I have to ask them to change linens or replenish the food. They were on time, they were professional, and they went above and beyond everything we asked of them. I would recommend Primizie any day of the week. THANK YOU AMY AND PRIMIZIE CATERING FOR ALL THE WONDERFUL WORK YOU DO! read more

Primizie catered our anniversary party at a local ranch last month. We had about 40 guests. They did an amazing job! The food was fabulous - our guests couldn't stop raving about the food! Adrianne did a great job helping me organize everything long distance. The day of the party, the staff were super and always on top of things - everything flowed smoothly. Highly recommend this caterer and their prices were reasonable for the quality of the food. read more

Emily- How can we ever thank you and your staff for an amazing night on Saturday? You truly went above and beyond for us and we are so thankful for all you did to make our wedding so wonderful. The food was unbelievable. I cannot tell you how many people came up to me and said, "This is the best wedding food we have ever had." Even our photographers told my mom that they have a lot of wedding food and this was by far one of the best they have had. It was beyond wonderful. You and your team truly exceeded my already high expectations and for that I can never thank you enough. Our wedding will more than likely get lost in the endless sea of events you do, but we will never forget the way you took care of us. Emily, thank you for everything. read more

Emily catered our wedding with over 200 guests and did an amazing job. She worked with me for about year while I was planning the wedding and she patiently handled all my questions, never batted an eye when I completely changed my mind on what kind of food we wanted, and gave me great advice on other aspects of the wedding. For our reception we decided to go with an Italian theme. The food was delicious and the service was superb! The stuffed mushrooms are a perfect appetizer and her lasagna is AMAZING. We have had more than one person tell us they loved it and kept going back for more. I personally loved how the food was hot and the chicken was moist and tasty- two things that often are difficult to do with such a big crowd! And last, but most important, the service was unbelievable. There were no long lines at the bar, the waiters refilled drinks, quickly collected finished dishes, and kept all the guest happy. As for us (the bride and groom), I don't think we ever had an empty drink in our hands!! We cannot express how great it was working with Emily and truly appreciate the efforts she made to make our day so perfect! read more

I was introduced to Primizie by Brock + Co. Events and could not have been more satisfied with their delicious contributions to my husband's 30th bday party! Primizie was courteous and delivered on our planners menu designs and presentation ideas. Our guests loved it all! read more

All I can speak to is Emily's and Primizie's level of customer service as we did not go with this caterer. Primizie was on our venue's preferred vendor list that we are required to choose a caterer from. First it took about 10 days to receive a price quote back. Not really a huge deal, but I had to follow up twice with them. Once I got the quote, I thought it looked great and was excited about the food options so I set up an evening to talk to Emily. Emily was supposed to call me at 7:00pm. She never called so I emailed her the next day asking to reschedule. She set up a time to talk for the following day during lunch time. So, I called her the next day and could immediately tell she was rushed and did not want to be on the phone. It was very loud in the background and I could tell she was moving around and not really paying much attention. I had to basically shout into the phone for her to hear me. Anyway, Emily was rude throughout the whole conversation. I told her our budget and she basically said that it was impossible to have a nice dinner on our budget. Emily also decided that dinner would HAVE to be at 5:30 in the evening - that it was IMPOSSIBLE to serve a wedding reception our size any later in the evening because they must start cleanup at 10:00pm. First, our wedding reception size is about 160 - not that big. Second, don't tell the potential customer when dinner will be, I will decide that, thanks. Our ceremony starts at 5:30 and the reception lasts until 11:00. Plenty of time to serve dinner and pretty much the standard wedding times. If you take nothing else away from this consider the fact that our wedding venue removed them from the preferred vendors list. read more

Not just for Weddings! I have had Emily cater two private parties that I host at my home. After several years using a different catering company - I needed a change and found Primizie, they are super to work with and my guests simply rave about the food. I have done parties with guest list as small as 15 to larger parties with 40-50. They have worked with me on menu and cost and I typically have them simply deliver the food and I take care of the rest - of course they will do it all if you prefer. Just want to make sure you don't think you have to be getting married to experience the wonderful food the Primizie cooks up! read more

Primizie catered an event for my college at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. We had over 90 people and that sometimes means a so-so meal with dry meat. This was not one of those. The food was amazing, the servings huge, and everyone was so pleased. The arrangements were a breeze. The entire staff was wonderful from planning, budgeting, set up and execution. We have used a lot of caterers and this has been the best for a sit down dinner. I highly recomend them! read more

I just worked with Emily on a wedding here in Austin. I have very high standards for my work and expect the same from other companies I am working with. Lets face it this is a wedding and things need to go off without a hitch. What I really liked about her services was how on the spot she was with communicating any changes to the cake we were providing and keeping my company up to date with delivery times. It was well organized and professional. She followed up her emails with phone calls. To you brides out there rest assure that your in good hands here and if something does happen to go wrong you are well covered. read more

I worked with Primizie for a SXSW event and was pleased with their support and service. Emily and her hard-working team were reliable and responsive, worked within budget constraints, and were flexible and resourceful during our event. Although we worked together for a business event, I would recommend them to a friend. read more

The service day of and throughout the planning process was impeccable and the food was delicious. Highly recommend this company to brides who want the best of the best in terms of food. read more
