Chef Marciaaaaaa and Jamaica Coast Catering TRULY showed out for my best friends wedding yesterday 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 I AM SO GLAD WE CHOSE HER!!! Every bite of food on our plates was extremely flavorful, thoroughly seasoned and expertly prepared. Chef Marcia was also very communicative, punctual and so kind and sweet. I literally can’t see us doing an event without her from here on out! Everyone was just heads in plates, digging in and complimenting how good everything was. Her and her team was on top of everything! My favorites were literally everything but that curry chicken, salmon, Mac & cheese, cabbage and rice & peas??? 🔥🔥🔥 You do not want to miss out. It wasn’t spicy, just packed with flavor. She also does American food if you don’t want Jamaican. She is truly a treasure and we thank Jamaica Coast Catering for making our vision a reality. We WILL be back. Don’t look any further, she is the right choice! Many thanks to Thumbtack for putting us in contact with her. Her service is one of one! 🏆

Wedding Date April 15,2023. My husband and I used Jamaican Coast Catering for our wedding and we are beyond appreciative of the services offered. Ms. Marcia is so sweet and very professional. My guest genuinely enjoyed the food, 10 out of 10 definitely recommend. My guest consisted of Caribbean and Native NC, so the menu was palatable for all taste buds.! I had a short timeline, tight budget food budget for 75 people not wanting to exceed $5k. Thankfully, we were able to work out a reasonable menu that my guest and myself truly enjoyed. The jerk meatballs are top tier. I enjoyed my curried goat,sweet and lemonade was delectable. It great that the company has a food truck which is great flexibility because my wedding was in Charlotte and the company is located in Greensboro. Definitely expect use the company’s services in the future.

Jamaica coast catering was so wonderful! She responded very quickly to all my of emails and silly questions, her food was absolutely incredible I have had many people tell me how amazing our wedding food was. She was very professional and on time she even brought the tasting to our House instead of us traveling somewhere to meet she came To Us. This by far was the best experience I’ve encountered with a caterer before we will definitely be using Jamaica coast catering again for all of our future events.

We have only wonderful things to say about both your food (which we didn't really get to try until the next day, haha) and your staff. The opinion of everyone that attended our wedding reception was very positive. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful! Everything was delicious, from the vegetarian options to the pasta salad and meat patties. We were very happy with everything and will certainly consider you for our next large event. Several people have asked the name of the catering company and we eagerly passed along your name. Thanks again for all your help and patience throughout the entire planning process to the day of execution. Have a wonderful Christmas! Chandra & Rodney Scroggins

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
When I give a quote to a client, it's based on the fresheness and quality of the food. I also, spends quality time to create a personlized menu for each client based on their needs and services. All meals are made with fresh ingredients and the flavors are tied together nicely. I love what I do, so therefore it comes out in my meals.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Listen to and pay close attention to the Client's needs and making sure to fulfill them.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
Being in the kitchen with my mom and learning how to cook at a tender age, which gives me the ability to cook my first 4 course meal at the age of 12 and my parents telling me how much they've enjoyed my cooking. From then I feel in love with cooking and been enjoying it ever since.
