The food was amazing - everyone raved about the whole concept and presentation. We were so grateful for Seasons hard work, professionalism, and genuine dedication.

We hired Tasteful Affairs for our small wedding, and it was truly one of the best decisions we…read moremade. The food was incredible--our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was! We had a mix of traditional dishes from our home cultures (Haiti and Nigeria), and our families were so pleased with how beautifully everything came out. It felt authentic, flavorful, and made with love. From the start, working with Emilie was an absolute breeze. She went above and beyond in every way and honestly felt like a quasi-wedding planner at times with how thoughtful and attentive she was throughout the process. On the day of the wedding, her team was warm, professional, and all smiles--despite the summer heat! We are so grateful to Tasteful Affairs for helping make our wedding day feel so special and personal. We will absolutely be using them again for future events and will recommend them to anyone looking for a caterer who truly cares and delivers on every level.

From the very beginning, Emilie was a calm and steady presence. As a creative wedding advisor, she…read moreguided us through the complexities of menu planning with patience and expertise. The food was universally loved by all our guests--which is no small feat considering we had several guests with very complicated dietary restrictions. Every person felt cared for, and the quality of the meal was outstanding from the first hors d'oeuvre to the final bite. The service provided by the entire staff was nothing short of spectacular. They managed the logistics of our historic hall with impeccable care, respecting the character of the venue while ensuring everything ran like clockwork behind the scenes. What we appreciated most was Emilie's ability to handle the "unexpected" with total composure. Because of her oversight and professionalism, we were able to completely relax and enjoy the special day, knowing every detail was in the most capable hands. If you are looking for a caterer who offers more than just a meal--but a true partnership in planning--we highly recommend Emilie and the Tasteful Affairs team. They truly care.

This company failed to provide the quality food and services for my wedding reception. The food…read moreprovided and served was "NOT" what I asked for. There were no vegetarian options(non - meat only) as I requested. Shrimp and grits had sausage added which the vegetarians in my family and wedding party could not eat. In addition to that, it was spoiled and smelled fishy per everyone it was served to. Then had the nerve to go out and purchase chicken coleslaw from a nearby restaurant then proceeded to tell him I guess it was not for everybody . I didn't not eat nor did my husband at our own reception which is absolutely ridiculous to me. I did not request ego waffle chicken cups that were cold nor did I request burnt jerk meat balls. Happy Hour 2 Go was under staffed and my family had to assist in serving food and drinks and some even make their own. I borrowed two tables from my church for your set up that was inadequate. Very disappointed lack of professionalism and disrespectful attitude towards myself, family members, my husbands grooms men, my assistant and my master of ceremony. Embarrassing is an understatement. Then refuses to come to any resolution or offer an apology for ruining my wedding reception that I did not even eat at. All I had was cake that thank "God" Fancy had nothing to do with.

Booking Tiffany and her team to help with our wedding was the best decision and wedding purchase we…read moremade - hands down. We hired Tiffany for day-of coordination but it was SO much more than that. From the minute we met for coffee, I knew her Type A personality and organization was JUST what we needed. My (now) husband and I are both lawyers and we don't know what we would have done without her given her handling of vendor coordination and planning when we were too swamped with work! Simply Breathe is worth every penny and in fact is the only wedding vendor I have given five star reviews to. In addition to coordinating with vendors before the wedding, she and her team seamlessly handled dealing with rain minutes before our ceremony, construction at our venue just a couple weeks before the wedding, and, apart from the last-minute mini-nightmares, she was ALWAYS there via phone or email when I needed advice or support. I cannot recommend her highly enough; this was by far our best wedding purchase. I can't imagine not having a wedding planner and tell all my friends they need one. Please reach out to Tiffany for my contact information if you want to hear more about how great she and her team were!!!

Living Social had a deal where you would pay $100 for a personal chef from Insatiable Bites to come…read moreto your home and prepare a 3 course meal for 2 people that included wine. I thought, gee, this sounds pretty awesome, let me give it a whirl. The personal chef, in this case it was the owner Rakita, comes to your home with her own ingredients/food and prepares the entire meal for you. They do use your pots/pans and cooking utensils. The only thing they require of you is a working stove and oven, other than that, you can sit back and relax and have them cook and CLEAN UP for you. Yes, you read that correctly, they even wash the dishes and clean up after preparing the meal. They serve you the wine and all of your courses, so you literally can sit back and relax. Who's the genius that thought of this idea because I can truly get used to this!!!! I was able to choose my menu from her various selections of a prefix menu. I decided on the "Southern/Cajun Influenced" dinner. This included: Appetizers - Deviled Eggs Main Course: Smothered Chicken with Braised Collard Greens and Seasoned Potatoes Dessert: Signature Pound Cake. Everything was delicious! Granted a few issues occured with the potatoes and chicken not being cooked thoroughly, but Rakita promptly corrected the issue. The portions were plenty for 2 people to devour. I would've loved bigger slices of cake (it was jammin' on the one) but I'm a little on the greedy side when it comes to delicious desserts, so what would you expect from me! If you plan on booking this catering company for an occasion, you must BOOK EARLY! Weekends are understandably their busiest time, but if you plan well in advance I'm sure they will be able to accommodate your schedule. Also, after you do book your catering experience, make sure you request a confirmation/reminder email from the staff because I experienced some confusion on the date of my dinner. Keep in mind that they serve Hyattsville and surrounding areas. Check with IB to make sure they serve your area. They not only cater romantic dinners for 2 like I requested, but they also cater private events/celebrations, teach culinary demonstrations and wine/food pairings. IB also has gift certificates available. All and all I enjoyed my personal chef experience. Rakita was a very friendly, professional and down to earth person, who just so happens to be able to cook her tail off! Kudos to Insatiable Bites, a creative idea that I'm sure will continue to grow and grow!
