    Arlethea was super sweet and accommodating. My schedule was hectic and it was difficult for me to lock in a tasting date and time. She boxed the food up and dropped it off right to our home! Above and beyond expectations. The food was delicious. All the wedding guests loved the food, but specifically the appetizers. We chose the mini tacos, cheeseburger egg rolls, and spinach cheese puffs. My favorite item was the salmon entree. There was one slight miscommunication about us wanting a cupcake tower. She did not bring one, but once again Arlethea went above and beyond and got us cupcakes the day of the wedding! I highly recommend their services for any and all catering events! Thank you for making our special day seamless and stress free.

    Simply Delicious Dishes was the best possible catering choice for our wedding. Arlethea and her team were extremely communicative throughout the planning process, and made things simple and stress-free. The quality of their work and value was exceptional - the food was delicious, the set-up was beautiful, and the service was outstanding. They lead with kindness, flexibility, professionalism and compassion, and their exceptional food and service truly made our special day even more memorable. My only regret was not getting to spend more one-on-one time with Arlethea, who is a beautiful person inside and out. I cannot recommend them enough, and I cant wait to work with them again.

    Our experience with Simply Delicious Dishes was wonderful from start to finish. The owner, Arlethea, was incredibly professional, very accessible, and clearly knowledgeable about her catering services. The attention to detail in both the presentation and taste of the food was outstanding. The cocktail hour spread and buffet dinner display were beautifully arranged, and our guests raved about the delicious flavors of the entrees and iced tea. Simply Delicious Dishes truly helped make our wedding day special.
