It was a pleasure working with Arlethea and her team at Simply Delicious! She was professional, friendly and the food was amazing. She reviewed the menu several times to ensure it met our needs for our wedding and made any adjustments as needed. It was a delight to work with her and I would absolutely choose to work with Simply Delicious again in the future and recommend her to anyone in need of catering for their event. A+ in every way!

Alithea was very responsive when trying to set the menu and was flexible in adding a choice not on the menu. The quantity of food was more than sufficient. One small negative is that the green beans were canned not fresh. I expected fresh.

Simply Delicious Dishes's reply

Hi Julie, Thank you so much for the opportunity to serve you and your family for such a wonderful occasion! It was indeed an honor to meet and to serve you all. Just a response regarding the green beans, we never use canned products especially for vegetables. Our distributor has fresh frozen green beans that we use for all of our clients. We opted to serve cut green beans instead of the whole ones because they are topped with bacon. I did hear your family express that you enjoyed them, and I'm so glad you did. If you all are ever in search of a caterer for your events, I would love to work with you again:) Enjoy your day!

I consulted with Arlethea and she was incredibly kind and helpful! I went in a different direction (to do myself vs catering) and she gave me helpful things to consider! She was creative and kind. I would recommend working with her!

Arlethea and her team did an absolutely amazing job catering my wedding reception. The food was excellent. Throughout the entire process of wedding planning, Arlethea was accessible, flexible and knowledgeable. She took a lot of stress off of my plate. I would definitely love to work with her again in the future. My guests are still raving about the food.
