You say, “The office building I work for has had multiple events thrown by them, and they are always wonderful. Their staff is friendly and courteous, and the barbecue they served was amazing. And their events are made better by the fact they have live music and games for entertainment” and “What sets them apart is their emphasis on presentation and decoration. When I had them do a Mexican themed event, they brought a full taco bar set-up, ice cream, snow cones, and even a live Mariachi band. John and Joanne run a very professional operation and their attention to detail and wonderful staff will keep me coming back.”

Sonny’s is really, really good. I like their barbeque. They brought a bunch of stuff like pork and some sauces and coleslaw. I try Shane but they made me and my husband family sick. I cried for two days. I should have know that my first marriage would not last after that lol. Then they got mad because I told them it was not pork because they cant eat pig in their religion. But Sonny’s is the best of the best. They like Top Gun for barbeque caters.

Someone please help me, trying to plan a wedding on a budget! I have about 20 bucks per person for food, and have about 100-115 guests. Any suggestions folks?

For @GaPeachy, call Peach of a Party! They will help you negotiate the right menu choices for your budget. Look them up online, review their dinner menu to get some ideas, but they will work with you if you are flexible with your ideas. Most caterers will, it’s their business. Good Luck!

I second recommending The WOW! Factor of Atlanta. We did a tailgate with them, they handle everything, I love the fact they they have really nice food carts, so it was like being at the stadium. Their DJ was great, staff was very friendly and accommodating and I really liked the football trivia that they did for our party!

As a patron and as a contractor, I have always been pleased with the food and the service of TUCKER’S CATERING, Atlanta’s best kept secret. You really should consider using them for your next event…I will!

WOW Factor is who I use for my company events. What sets them apart is their emphasis on presentation and decoration. When I had them do a Mexican themed event, they brought a full taco bar set-up, ice cream, snow cones, and even a live Mariachi band. John and Joanne run a very professional operation and their attention to detail and wonderful staff will keep me coming back.

Bold American did our wedding, and guests (locals and visitors) are STILL talking about the food two and a half years later- everything was delicious. They helped us figure out awesome options that were in our budget, and the special touches were fantastic. Their event staff also did the florals and staging, completely listened to our vision making it personal, and it was just gorgeous. As said earlier, Bold American is part of Fifth Group, and it was great to have the South City Kitchen fried chicken and fried green tomoatoes as part of our menu.

My wife and I had the Wow Factor cater our wedding a couple years ago, and it was absolutely wonderful. We had them do Italian food, and our guests could not get enough of their delicious pasta dishes and desserts. They brought in a chef to do all cooking on site, so the food was fresh for the reception. I give Wow Factor an A+, and would recommend them to anyone looking for a caterer.
