Amazing service & loved the food that Catering Essentials provided for our event! I needed trays for a CrossFit event. Given that it’s a gym we need healthy options that not all caters can fill. Catering Essentials fit the order and had a beautiful selection of fresh fruit, healthy wraps & infused water that keep our athletes going back for more! Everyone was pleased with the selection and the display was outstanding! Highly recommended for any event! More...
