Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: We strive to be hassle free for our customers. With event planning there can be many different vendors involved sometimes overwhelming the planner. We like to be the main point of contact that can coordinate it all from rentals, floral arrangements, dj, beverages, and even the with the venue. We love what we do at David's but we probably love most is just seeing a satisfied customer. Sometimes you may have over 100 emails back and forth with a customer and they are super stressed. There is nothing better than being in the middle of executing an event and seeing your customer as happy as can be.

The service here was INCREDIBLE. Of all the aspects of planning our wedding, the catering turned out to be the most enjoyable simply because of the honesty, helpfulness, and flexibility of the staff at David's Catering. First, when I gave them our budget they immediately came up with numerous creative ideas to help us stay within our budget while still having everything we desired from our caterer, and there were never any unexpected upcharges. We ended up with food left over, for a price that was almost half what other caters wanted to charge us for even less options. Their servers were extremely cheerful, professional, and made sure everyone had enough to eat. The food was unique and flavorful and we were given a wide variety of choices to choose from. Finally, as a local business I felt like David's Catering treated us like family. They went above and beyond to give us an amazing deal for their services, prepared all the food with care, and were always very responsive, including a few last minute changes and requests we had. Overall, I could not recommend David's Catering highly enough, I researched, met with, and got quotes from caters all of Alachua County, and I can say with confidence David's Catering is the best you will find!

We have been using David's BBQ Catering for a few years. Last week we hired them to serve 90 people breakfast, which consisted of a full omelette bar. Breakfast was a hit. The crew, as always, was here on time and set up with 30 minutes to spare. The crew was so pleasant and took great care of our people. We love David's BBQ :)

Far and away the best BBQ in North Central Florida. All of the meats are perfectly smoked and super tender. I have used them for my graduation party and many tailgates. It is always delicious and Jeremy makes it a point to have great customer service. The entire staff is extremely friendly and I look forward to using David's BBQ again!

We absolutely LOVED working with Chris both before, during, and after our event! He was friendly and professional and even when rain hit our outdoor event he made sure everything looked and tasted perfect! We want to plan another event just to have the chance to work with him again!

FAQs

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    I grew up in my father's restaurant and after college decided to come back to help grow the family business. Catering was a way to grow without much investment as we already had a kitchen to work out of as well as some brand recognition. But it grew into a passion of mine and I wonder why we didn't start doing this 20 years ago!

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    We do a lot of corporate deliveries and full service caterings. We have several packages priced for delivery that are convenient for smaller groups of people. However, we can also bring the smoker out and cook for the whole company of 1,000 or more. Recently we have bursted on to the wedding scene. My partner Chris, has a real knack for making the buffet/tables look nice and lucky for us our guests seem to really enjoy our food.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    Talk to several different companies and try to ask them about work they have done in the past. It is not always about being the cheapest. I would even recommend trying to meet in person with someone from the company because at the end of the day you are doing business with people, not a company.
