Frequently Asked Questions
How would you define your "style"?
We offer traditional options with a modern twist! No 1980’s cruise ship or country club meals here!
What does the process of working with your company look like?
If you would like a completely custom menu, we’d arrange a complimentary consultation, then create an estimate, and a contract to follow to secure your date. If you’d like to pick from some of our clients favorites, we’d be happy to share that listing with you to make selecting your perfect meal that much easier!
What is included in your most popular packages?
Our average buffet is $60 per person, that includes a cocktail hour with a selection of appetizers, a buffet with two proteins, a starch selection, vegetable selection, plus fresh baked bread and a green salad.
What is a unique tip you tell your couples that is specific to your vendor category?
Create your budget, be realistic, and be prepared to share that number with your caterer as you embark on this journey. Your budget can help create realistic expectations for you and your caterer of choice.
What current trends have you seen at weddings?
As of early 2020, only 46% of couples chose a wedding planner as a viable option to help coordinate their efforts around their wedding. This being said, your caterer will likely serve as your “planner” and should have the resources to make your special day stress free.
What advice would you give a couple who is starting the search for the perfect venue?
Define Your Vision: Start by picturing your ideal day. Do you want a modern rooftop with stunning views, a romantic garden, or a classic ballroom? Knowing your style will help narrow your search. Guest Count Matters: Have a rough estimate of your guest list. Make sure the venue can comfortably accommodate your attendees while leaving room for things like a dance floor or lounge areas. Check What’s Included: Some venues come with tables, chairs, and linens, while others are more of a blank canvas. Knowing what’s provided versus what you’ll need to bring in can help you budget and plan. Consider Catering: If food is a priority, ask about their catering policies. Some venues require you to use their in-house services, while others allow outside caterers like us to create a truly custom experience. Visit at the Right Time: Visit the venue at the time your wedding would take place to see the lighting, ambiance, and overall vibe. Ask About Logistics: Think about guest accessibility, parking, weather contingency plans, and how the space flows for your ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception.
How do I schedule a tasting?
Scheduling a tasting with us is simple! It starts with a quick call where we’ll learn more about your wedding vision and help infuse your menu with your unique personality. During this call, we’ll also provide you with an out-the-door estimate for our services. Once you’ve selected some menu options, we’ll use those to guide your personalized tasting experience. Our tastings typically last 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on how many questions you have. When you arrive, all you need to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy the “hard work” of planning your wedding while savoring the delicious dishes we’ve prepared for you. Ready to schedule? Reach out, and let’s get started!

I cannot express enough how thrilled we were with Jose and his team for our wedding in October! From the very first consultation, they were incredibly professional and attentive to our needs. The menu they created for us was not only delicious but also beautifully presented, showcasing a variety of flavors that our guests couldn’t stop raving about.
Their attention to detail was impeccable, and they ensured that every aspect of the catering was perfect—right down to the last bite. The staff was friendly, efficient, and went above and beyond to make sure our guests were well taken care of.
If you’re looking for a catering company that truly cares about making your event special, look no further than Jose and his team. They made our wedding day unforgettable, and we can’t thank them enough! Highly recommend!

From our tasting, we knew that this was THE people we wanted to cater our wedding at The Black Barn. Jose’s background and comfort with high-volume made us feel confident that he could translate the dishes we selected for a large wedding and he didn’t disappoint! Everything was cooked to perfection, well seasoned, and delicious. He was able to give us the perfect blend of cuisines while also being crowd-pleasing. The added bonus of offered dessert and bar services made C2 a one-stop shop, and gave us peace of mind for our wedding day. Our signature cocktails were delivered perfectly and the desserts were incredible too! We can’t wait to host another event and have the opportunity to work with Jose and the C2 team again!

I was thrilled with Jose’s communication, attention to detail, willingness to work with me, and of course, the food! From the beginning Jose made great suggestions, hosted an outstanding tasting, and made me feel that my event was his focus. His team was very hospitable and worked diligently the night of the party despite the weather. My guests raved about the sliders, the risotto, the shrimp and grits, and all the desserts. I only wish I had another event coming up so that I could use his services again sooner rather than later.

The appetizers were delicious, the dinner was amazing, and so many of our guests told us how much they enjoyed the food. We had kids at our wedding, and it was such a thoughtful touch that C2 provided a kids’ menu option for children who didn’t want the adult entrees.
The drinks were fantastic, and the dessert options were a hit! The service was incredible—every server was friendly, professional, and so fast. One of the most memorable moments for us was when my husband and I didn’t get a chance to eat during cocktail hour, and a server brought a full plate of appetizers to our bridal suite so we could enjoy them privately together. It was such a small gesture that meant so much.
Jose and the team truly went above and beyond to make our day perfect. If you’re planning a wedding, please do yourself a favor and go with C2 Catering—you won’t regret it!

I cannot thank Jose and his team enough for such a perfect wedding!! I’m gluten and dairy free and Jose accommodated all of the buffet options to my dietary needs, and no know noticed a difference!! All of my guests were raving about the food and desserts, how wedding food is usually “bland” but they’d love to eat our dinner over and over. Jose was so calm, cool, and collected during the entire experience and I felt so at ease having him there. As an event planner myself, I’d hire Jose a million times over. Thank you!

My husband and I used C2 catering for our wedding through a package with our wedding venue and we could not have been happier with our choice!! Jose and his team were incredible through every step of the process.
My favorite detail was when we went in for our tasting, Jose had created a personalized menu card for us to take home! This small detail was huge and showed how much he cared, and I knew we had chosen correctly.
Jose was easy to communicate with and made the whole process so simple for us, we had no worries at all and the food was INCREDIBLE!! Highly recommend!

Delicious! Jose blew us away from the very beginning. Our venue (Bridlewood Ranch) is all inclusive with multiple vendor options. We went to two catering tastings and there was no competition. Jose hit it out of the park and we knew we HAD to have C2 Catered Events cater our wedding!
From the very beginning, the presentation of the food at our tasting (Sept. 2024) was professional and there was plenty for us to try. We had a vision for our wedding which included a seasonal Fall menu. Jose made that vision come to life by crafting our menu to include chicken skewers with maple bourbon glaze and baked brie with fig preserves as our appetizers, bourbon-apple butter BBQ chicken, beef with cranberry red wine reduction, seasonal roasted vegetables, roasted butternut squash, mixed green salad with balsamic and ranch dressing, and freshly baked rolls.
On the day of our wedding (Nov. 2025), C2 Catered Events was on time and appetizers and dinner service ran smoothly. We loved the food and it tasted just as good, if not better, as the day of our tasting! Our guests raved about the bourbon-apple butter BBQ chicken – it was tender, moist, and you could cut it with a fork! Importantly, I am dairy free and Jose was able to make the entire menu (minus the baked brie and ranch dressing) dairy free! It was such a joy and took stress away from me that I knew I could eat the entire dinner.
No matter the occasion, reach out to Jose at C2 and do a tasting! Thank you Jose for everything and for being so communicative with us!

I had the pleasure of enjoying this incredible catering team at the Tinsels & Tinis event at The Veranda Elegant Events, and they were outstanding from start to finish! Every bite was delicious…from the beautifully presented appetizers to the amazing short plate stations.
Jose’s team was warm, professional, and truly elevated the atmosphere with their creativity and attention to detail. It’s clear they take enormous pride in their craft.
If you’re planning an event, I can’t recommend them highly enough. Their food, service, and overall experience are top-notch. A perfect choice for weddings, corporate events, and celebrations of any kind!

I was recommended by my venue Trellis 925 to use C2 Catering for my wedding, it was a great choice! It’s been two weeks since my wedding & people are still talking about the food! Jose really took care of everything from the linens to plates & silverware; he’s got such a wide variety of options for decor and food! We had 3 butler passed appetizers beef taco empanadas, pork bruschetta & chicken & waffles. For the main course we had a roasted Caesar salad, Santa Fe chicken, New York strip steak with a Jack Daniels sauce, roasted veggies & potatoes. Everything was SO delicious! Do not hesitate to pick this catering company!

We used C2 Catering for our daughter\’s wedding. The whole experience from the taste testing to the wedding was the best experience you could ask for. Jose is a professional and world class chef in our opinion. The food was delicious, from the empanada and chicken & waffle appetizers, the main course of French Onion Chicken, Beef Top Round with Creamy Mushroom & Beef Demi, Italian Green Beans with Balsamic & Roasted Cherry Tomatoes and Roasted Potato Medley to the Caesar Salad and Fresh baked rolls. This was not your typical wedding food, it was 5-star restaurant quality cuisine. We had so many compliments at the reception on the food and guests wanting Jose\’s number for their catering events and when their daughters get married. We can\’t say enough about Jose and C2 catering. If we ever need catering in the future, we will choose C2 Catered Events. Highly recommended!

Amazing!! I just attended a business professionals tasting put on by Confectionately Confections earlier this week and loved every part about the meal I was provided and the service I received! Each dish was delicious and the presentation itself was very appealing. As a wedding planner, I have attended many tastings and I\’ve got to say, Jose made myself and my guest feel so at home and welcome in his establishment. It\’s nice to make a connection with a vendor who is willing to have a real conversation rather than try to sell you on their product. Jose was nothing short of amazing and I am so pleased to have a new catering vendor to add to my preferred vendor list! Thank you, Jose!

We are wedding planners here in Central Florida and we taste a lot of catering wedding food throughout the year. We had the pleasure of doing a tasting with Jose and were absolutely blown away by his professionalism, candor, and most of all, the delicious spread he created for us. From the bacon wrapped bread sticks, to the perfectly cooked salmon with homemade pesto, to the s\’mores bites. We left totally full and completely satisfied by his unique, fresh, and delicious menu. We will be recommending him to all of our couples and using him for our personal festivities!
