Their passion for quality and service is truly unmatched!

and attention to detail. The food was amazingly seasoned and was high quality. Our wedding guests raved about our menu and shared it was experience their taste buds would remember. I recommend the SD team to anyone looking to enhance their event with great food and drinks.

enu is very extensive and has something for everyone. Their customer service is top tier and they always deliver high quality experiences for their clients.

enshaw, were a pleasure to work with. The food was very delicious and plentiful! Chef Dee, you now have fans from Chicago to Miami. I would recommend their services to anyone.

ses of the night. Her food was so well done the textures were amazing the flavors were on point and the seasoning was given without hesitation. If I could use them everyday I would and that is how much I enjoyed their meal at my wedding there wasn't a single complaint, in fact they were asking how the heck she did that with food. God bless this woman and her talented and dedicated hard-working staff. 10/10 Also shout out to Eboni 💖

ble. It was so spicy, and the only thing that we came away from that tasting liking, was the raspberry chicken and the carrots. We did a second tasting where we tried the Seabass and the pork chop and they were both good so we went around along with using Sophisticated Delight. We had a call with them the week prior of the wedding that my party planner was on as well where I told them that the pork chop was ever so slightly black and didn’t want to make sure all the food was Lightly seasoned as I knew there would be a lot of old people and people from the north that don’t understand Cajun food. The day of the wedding I ordered the chicken which was so incredibly spicy. I could not eat it and my husband ordered the pork chop which he said was spicy and he doesn’t recollect it being spicy. My father-in-law ordered the seafood the fish and he came to me and told me it was spicy after I had already spoken to the chef about it on Tuesday after the wedding my husband, Chef and the operations manager are on a conference call about what we didn’t like and what we wanted going forward. We were pretty clear with what we wanted and we were told it would be a two or three day turnaround we turned around being eight days before they got back to us , we asked for a little bit of our money because we did pay $15,000 for catering and they denied us and told us instead that they would like to come into our house and cook another meal for us so we aren’t happy with the process, the food was incredibly spicy with the exception of the bacon which everybody loved . They were good and bad things at the wedding however, the entrées, what people remember the most, and that is where we had the most difficulty with them I checked with my party planner about whether or not my instructions were clear enough for the spot the spice and she said I was absolutely clear enough so I don’t know why everything was seasoned to a Cajun level. we were asked in our tasting how we would like everything to be spiced on a 1 to 5 rating and we said one, so that did not get translated to the Chef either. I’m just disappointed that they weren’t willing to work with us and instead want to come back into our house and cook for us when we had a bad experience, they were a preferred vendor with our catering hall and that’s why we uses them

were not able to taste test and caterers. But Eboni made helpful recommendations to fit our theme and our tastes. She also was incredibly flexible in adding meals for my mother and I’s dietary restrictions. Eboni and positive reviews of this company were integral in our caterer selection. And they delivered! The food was absolutely delicious! Our guests raved about the food and it was certainly a highlight of our wedding! We were extremely pleased with the quality of the food and service. The servers were also lovely and professional. Thank you so much! I cannot recommend this caterer enough. Your bellies will be full and happy!

nd them to everyone

ting compliments about the food. Even people who usually wouldn’t eat what we served, LOVED IT. I highly recommend them. Taste and professionalism is unmatched.

As a wedding planner myself, I am very picky and being a bride I was worse. I knew all eyes would be on me and I wanted an amazing day. I also deserved it! I've waited a long time to marry my man! LOL. Chef D's eye for creativity, her skill for cooking delicious food and execution really set the bar high. My guests were amazed and my husband who is Nigerian said she nailed his traditional dishes. We did a sit down dinner and I had a few guests trying to sneak in the kitchen for more food and they already had hefty plates. I really appreciate how she took the time to make sure her food matched my wedding theme to the T! I really have to say everything with her team was perfect and I can never, ever thank her enough!

still talking about my food. Having good food ranked high on my list and Sophisticated Delights did not disappoint. The presentation was nice and the food was fresh and hot. I’m ready to have another event so they can cater again!

king about how great the food was! We loved that they offered kids meal options for our little ones. Their prices are also great compared to others. I am so glad we selected Sophisticated Delights for our wedding. The owner Dee is so nice! Again, the food was so good!

rs D'oeuvres we chose the southern dip and Hennessy honey lamb chops which people could not stop asking the servers for. Our main entree was a buffet presentation of the pan seared sea bass topped with lump crab and citrus garlic butter, cajun stuffed chicken with andouille sausage, sundried tomato risotto, and brocolini. Let me tell y’all that the flavor explosions were out of this world and the portions were very plentiful. The food was on time and fresh, and her staff was extremely professional. My Wife and I didn’t get a chance to eat at the wedding (of course) but Chef D had fresh to go plates for us that we absolutely demolished when we got back to our room. The remainder of our food not consumed by guests was also packaged very nicely for us to store. I would re-book Chef D and her team in a heartbeat and we plan on going straight to her for any other catered events we plan. Thank you again Chef D you played a huge part in making our night unforgettable!

nd the food speaks for itself! Highly recommend!!

serving the food and the cake to packing everything up at the end of the night. The food tasted amazing and all our guests loved it! Even the plates, cutlery, and glasses used to serve the food were so elegant and beautiful! I was blown away at how they went above and beyond for the set up and decorations. Chef Dee was super meticulous, attentive to detail, and extremely helpful in making sure that everyone was well fed and happy. I would definitely recommend Sophisticated Delights for any catering needs. Thank you so much!

er efficient. Did I say the food was amazinggggg! We loved it!

s -- servers were running out to get me food. Another huge point of difference was that they cut the cake & packed everything up. Would HIGHLY recommend to any event in the Houston area!!

e side dishes. All the guests were complimenting it.

resh, and hot. The servers were professional and attentive. And Chef Dee has great attention to detail. We are very pleased with Sophisticated Delights catering our wedding.

and her team were phenomenal. I promise you won’t go wrong using this company. And the cherry on top…the prices were among the most affordable out there.

e to come to the States. My husband and I hopped on a call with D'ambria and one thing I could immediately tell is she KNOWS her profession!!! As a bride speaking to so many different people you start noticing who really owns their craft. Sophisticated Delights was the perfect fit and I booked them even without having a tasting first. I knew that her food would taste amazing just by all the other reviews, her expertise + years of experience in catering and she has an amazing menu that fits any style you are looking for. We rescheduled due to covid and had our wedding a year later, and I was so happy that we didn't lose her as a vendor due to inavailability. When I finally was able to come to the States we scheduled a tasting and LET. ME. TELL. YOU. That food was everything!! I could secretly cry tears of happiness because I was so proud that I made this decision and took a leap of faith all the way from another continent. Her food did NOT disappoint AT ALL. I wish I could do a tasting like that anyday lol!!! It was one of the things I really enjoyed during wedding planning. After the tasting my husband and I just needed to know (and crossed our fingers) if she also does mealplanning, because this is definitely something we are willing to invest in. Say bye bye to HelloFresh. On our wedding day the food tasted even better. I loved to see all our guests fed with such amazing fully filled plates and we have received tons of compliments on it. I loved her drink options that also came with the package and we simply had so much variety on our day. D'ambria and team, you guys are really amazing and we are so happy to be your lifetime clients. Hannah & Michael

ervice provided was exemplary!!! A timely wedding schedule was important to my husband and I, and she definitely met our expectations. Sophisticated Delights provides a large menu selection to fit any desired theme and budget. We desired a cajun/creole menu and our families were throughly impressed with our selections. I used Sophisticated Delights for my bridal shower and wedding. I will definitely utilize them for all future life milestones (including baby showers).

already gotten their info for up coming events!! We will definitely be calling for the holidays!

you and give you multiple options! We love Chef D and her amazing team! Couldn’t have picked anyone better for our big day!

he few days following on how great the food was. It was important for us not to serve typical bland wedding food, and Chef Dee really came through with the seasoning and flavor. She is also very accommodating when I had some last minute changes even after I sent in the final count. I loved that she includes a certain number of allergy plates, so I could accommodate my vegan and gluten-free guests. Her servers did a great job as well, and kept things very efficient and professional. Our favorite part was that they packed extra meals for my husband and I and sent them with us to our hotel! It was so nice having that extra food at the end of the night, since I was a little too excited to eat during the actual dinner. :) Just be prepared for a bit of delayed email response, but it's not really a big deal - she makes it clear from the get-go that she's not available on event nights since she gives her clients 100% attention on their special nights, and I actually really appreciate that. Even though I had to wait for a response a few times, Chef Dee's communication was clear and ultimately timely. From the initial phone call to the wedding night, I LOVED working with her and will definitely book her for any future events! Our menu started with stuffed mushrooms, crab cakes, and a charcuterie table. Entrees were ribeye steak and sun-dried tomato/spinach stuffed chicken, with sides of mushroom risotto, charred Brussels sprouts, and house salad. Everything was delicious and amazing! The standouts for me were the salad (we even went up to the next package just for the salad), stuffed mushrooms, chicken, and risotto (truly something special). Seriously, don't look further than Sophisticated Delights! It doesn't get better.

ces. There is something here for everyone! Dee’s food is absolutely amazing and so flavorful we loved everything. On our wedding day the service was wonderful and all of the staff at Sophisticated Delights did a great job. The chef even came to great my husband and I on the dance floor to make sure everything was great—we appreciated that! We loved that Sophisticated Delights took our wedding decor vision and decorated that catering tables—taking them from the standard table with a tablecloth to a beautiful elegant display for our guests! If you are looking for a caterer for your wedding look no further.

ed her for their wedding also. I have friends and family that still bring up “those greens”. Not only is the food delicious but the customer service and care and time she put into the event/food/displays were unmatched. I still order food from sophisticated delights for different events throughout the year. I love them!

not only an amazing plate but her friendliness and openness about her business and how she likes her employees to conduct themselves. For a year we raved about the dinner that our guest were going to eat. We promised them a meal with flavor like they never tasted before. Fast forward to the wedding day. Even with communicating everyday up until the day of the wedding to ensure everyone understood what I wanted/expected things went terribly wrong. We hired an extra server, with the point of this extra server to ensure no one was left waiting for a drink refill or served cold food. Well, the food was cold and I don’t mean not hot just warm, I mean ICE COLD. You ever have a steak cold? How about grilled snapper? It does not taste right. We also were served our cold food 30 minutes late, they didn’t follow simple instructions of tucking the silverware inside the napkins I folded so they wouldn’t touch the table. On top of that the chef was RUDE and ARGUMENTATIVE with the BRIDE and the waitstaff had attitudes. We went from being excited and ready for the meal we dreamed about for a year from our tasting to leaving the table not touching the food while our guests attempted to smile through eating their cold plates. The day after our event I reached out to D’Ambria, the owner, directly. For the first time in the year that I have been communicating with her she responded the same day. She was defensive and had excuses for everything. She even had the audacity to tell me that they peeled off the bread on the kids meals because “it fell off during transport” even though we have pictures with the obvious grill lines. She refuses to refund any of her mistakes and will only give us a partial refund if we sign a NON-DISCLOSURE. Yep, you read that right. The only way this company will right their mistakes is by making you sign a gag order so no other person can know your experience. During our phone conversation she actually started crying on the phone to MANIPULATE my husband! As soon as I took the phone back and started talking the tears would stop! I even found out after our phone conversation that my mother-in-law spoke to the caterer that night and told them how bad things were. D’Ambria herself admitted she new that night things went wrong but I was still the one reaching out to her. To say the least I DO NOT recommend this company. It’s obvious now they say and/or do whatever possible to book an event but they have no follow through. Not to mention how many other non-disclosures are out there with brides with experiences like mine?

per flexible when we had to postpone the wedding due to covid. Simply amazing!

g was so personalized and to our taste. I got hundreds of compliments on the food and all our guests were so happy. They even had enough for seconds. We loved that Chef Dee personally packed my husband & I a to go plate for the honeymoon night! Thanks again Sophisticated Delights.

s are still raving about the collard greens! If you enjoy food that tastes like it was prepared with love and great seasoning, Sophisticated Delights is the caterer for you! Thank you so much for helping to make our wedding day one for the books!

e cajun chicken, salmon, and green beans. We even had enough for seconds and enough to take home. We appreciated the fact that she also does cake cutting which we didn’t realize was a “thing” that we needed to find. We had one pregnant vegan guest and she absolutely accommodated for that person. My husband was so busy enjoying the wedding that he didn’t get to thank her before he left which he talked about for days. Our goal for the reception was great food, cake, and DJ and Sophisticated Delights helped us exceed that goal!

emphasize enough BOOK SOPHISTICATED DELIGHTS for WHATEVER EVENT you have. From the time we set out first appoint to the day after the wedding she was consistent, thoughtful and anticipated all of our needs. By the time we thought of any question or what we thought might be concerns, she had already taken care of it. The service was AMAZING. We didn’t have a thing to worry about. They even made sure to bring us food between the ceremony and the reception. We quickly understood once stepping into the reception how important that was. From the bottom of my heart I thank her for the amazing work and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND her for any affair.

omplained that they didn't get cake and the servers were caught taking leftovers. When brought to their attention they denied the accusations even though we had witnesses. The whole situation became a big issue. The company is nice. You may just have to set some rules.

e it was the best wedding food that they have ever had and some went up for even thirds! I highly recommend that you book Sophisticated Delights for any catering needs. D'Ambria was responsive, professional, knowledgeable and never tried to up-sell us on anything and always gave us her best advice. Look no further than Sophisticated Delights!!

he even worked around my allergies. I love that she had a kid's menu. It made everything so easy and convenient. It's been almost 3 months and I'm still getting compliments on the staff and the food.

with the menu and presentation. D’Ambria was also very attentive to us and ensured that we had everything that we needed. I would definitely recommend Sophisticated Delights for your catering needs!

as easy as possible for us and the food was so darn good!! Her menu has a wide range to please any crowd and during the tasting she asked for our opinion to make sure items were tailored to our taste. Her staff handled the buffet wonderfully on the day of and we had 150 guests! When we made our rounds after dinner, guests kept coming up and asking who our caterer was. We got comments like, "this is how my mom makes potatoes!" You know it's good when it reminds you of your mom's cooking! The staff brought my husband and I plates directly before starting the buffet line and even packed us to-go boxes for the hotel which was much appreciated! Thanks Sophisticated Delights for making our night so stress free and making sure our guests went home happy and full!

could work for our budget. We consulted with other catering companies in the Houston area and they all sort of wanted to push what THEY wanted to do, and not what we ultimately wanted for our guests. With D'Ambria at every single point she made it about us and what our goal was for our guests. My main thing was for our guests to enjoy everything from start to finish and have this beautiful experience in terms of food and service. Her staff on the actual wedding day was beyond attentive and everyone loved it. We did a plated dinner with passed appetizers and late night bites! The late night bites were a hit and totally unexpected and we loved how everything was executed. I would highly recommend all brides to look no further and have a consultation with D'Ambria! Won't regret it and we can't wait to use Sophisticated Delights again.

and the great food! The food is amazing. You can't go wrong with the puff pastry appetizer! (Trust me!) As a planner, working with this company makes my job easier. They pay attention to details and their contract is easily understandable for a planner as well as a bride. You know every service you will be getting. I also recently used D'ambria for my personal baby shower. The food was delicious! I even had a bride client attend my shower as a guest and now wants to schedule a tasting with the company for her upcoming wedding. You can not go wrong with choosing D'ambria and Sophisticated Delights for your wedding or event! Definitely a 5 star company!

ir wishes. I change my menu several times and not once was there a problem. She help us to stay within a budget. It’s always good for a catering service to have delicious food options no matter what your budget is. The food and service was five stars. I never had to worry about anything because her team was amazing. The buffet line was moving fast for 200 plus people to serve. My guest love the food omg it was so delicious 😋. Brides I promise you, you want be disappointed.I’m so thankful we got to work with Sophisticated Delights.

easoned perfectly, the steak was tender and delicious....we look forward to using Sophisticated Delights for other events.
