We were very happy with Catering by Tara Helm. It was a fantastic experience. The food was excellent, the service extremely friendly and professional, the cleanup impeccable, and the wedding reception went off without a hitch. Tara was very accommodating and flexible and helped make our day very special. The buffet line decorations she made fit our theme exactly. Tara was very easy to work with and had great ideas during the planning of this event. I won’t consider using anyone else for my future catering needs. Thank you so much!!

We had a fabulous wedding and Tara was a large part of making that a reality. Tara is detail oriented, flexible, and most of all, an amazing chef! I enjoyed working with her and would recommend her to anyone looking for great food at a reasonable price for their event. While looking for a caterer, I found many quotes excluded significant costs such as Chef time, server time, etc. One quote doubled once these were added to the estimate. Not so with Tara. Her quote was accurate. She was upfront about the total price per plate and there were no surprise costs. Tara provided a tasting that was VERY reasonably priced. We brought along a couple friends for opinions and were blown away by the feast before us. There were appetizers, a salad, at least three main courses, and four or five sides. The tasting really showcased Tara’s talents and made it easy to choose her as our caterer. Once we had booked with Tara, she was available to discuss our menu as our needs evolved. When we added extra rentals and food to our contract, Tara took everything in stride and made it work. On the day of our wedding, everything went smoothly. We have received praise from multiple friends and family one of whom described her food as “Top notch”. Our day of coordinator told me she enjoyed working with Tara and would recommend her to future clients. Thank you Tara for being so wonderful to work with and making our day one to remember!

Tara and her team made my event as special as I hoped it would be. They arrived on time, set up a beautiful service, cooked spectacular food, and served everything in a professional, friendly manner. Tara was responsive leading up to the event, never made me feel that my questions were an interruption or bother. I highly recommend, and will call Tara for any future catering needs I may have. Thank you again for exceeding my expectations!!
