Arista was so easy to coordinate with. They were infinitely flexible with our menu, allowing us to pick our favorite items from Wayward Vegan (which they also own) to create our dream menu. The buffet was delicious, and they even labeled dishes with allergens relevant to our guests, plus they created a few allergen-free dishes to ensure guests were fully satiated. Everyone left full and impressed! We had a fully vegan menu as well, which Arista executed flawlessly. It was so nice that they coordinated with other vendors so well that we didn't need to think about food or catering at all during the wedding. They also took care of requests like bringing us appetizers to the wedding cottage flawlessly and easily. I also love that they included gratuity in the quote so that everyone is well-compensated and we do not need to worry about handling money on the day of the wedding. Would highly recommend Arista!

Arista catering helped make our wedding day run very smoothly so we could sit back and relax. We started with a tasting a few months before the event, and were thankful we did as we ended up changing our minds as to what to serve on the day. Aside from the food, which was delicious, they took care of the linen rentals for us, eliminating the need for another vendor. The staff was professional and courteous. We would recommend working with them.

Arista Catering catered our wedding reception, and they were fantastic. They worked closely with me to tailor the menu and make sure everything was perfect. The food was terrific...

. We had a buffet service for around 100 people, and not only was the food delicious, it was served beautifully. The service at the event was top notch. The wait staff and bartender were extremely attentive and made sure the event went off without a hitch. I have also worked with Arista on banquets for a non-profit organization (around 200 people), and they have always provided wonderful food and fantastic service. I highly recommend Arista Catering.
