Handheld Catering and Events

Handheld took great care of my company's Halloween event. The food was so fresh and tasty. The decor brought the vision together! I am so happy I discovered Handheld. Thank you Daelyn for being so attentive and flexible during the planning stage! I am looking forward to working with Handheld for our next corporate event! :)))

We hired Handheld to cater a combination 55th birthday and remodel celebration. As we haven't had caterers before, unless you count our wedding decades ago, we were new to the process. We couldn't be more thrilled with how the event went. With a full bar and bartender, five completely different yet equally delicious appetizers, and incredibly gracious staff, it's no wonder many friends said it was the best party they'd attended. The staff served a cake brought by a friend, and welcomed the addition of a homemade fruit and veggie platter that I decided to provide last minute. They handled the rental of some high top tables, linens, cocktail appropriate glassware. Just thrilled. My only regret is that I didn't personally take any photos of the set-up. The one I was able to borrow from a friend's photos doesn't do it justice at all.

My company used Handheld Catering for our two-day event, for both breakfast and lunch. Everything was wonderful! An was very helpful with the menu selection and very responsive! All the food was amazing! All the staff, drivers were friendly and helpful and were on-time/early with all set-ups! We will definitely use them again! Thank you!

In fact, I rarely write reviews on websites, but Handheld catering makes me feel guilty if I don't. I firmly believe that Handheld is the best choice for your banquet. Let me tell you why: 1. The person I contacted was An Bui, she was very helpful and responsive. We made many adjustments to the menu, many times I was embarrassed to even ask for it, but she was still very patient. I am very grateful to her, without her my party would not have been possible. 2. It is obvious that Handheld has extensive experience in hosting banquets. Believe me, I asked a dozen catering companies, and most of them only provide food, and we need to find other equipment ourselves. Companies like Handheld that take care of the entire process for us are actually very rare. Moreover, it is obvious that An has a very good command of some details. For example, she enthusiastically gave us suggestions, such as where to best place the food, and how to control the time of the banquet to prevent the food from losing its taste. 3.Handheld food is very delicious. Our guests specifically requested your name from us because they also wanted to order for their banquet. 4. Your staff are great. At the end of the banquet, the staff who collected the food containers were also patiently waiting for us. Moreover, the day before the banquet, we suddenly wanted to change the time to 9 a.m., and you were very enthusiastic to help. thank you very much!

I waited a long time to write this review to ensure I did not do so with anger and give myself time to reflect on the experience. I contacted handheld and it started off great - I even pressured my parents to go with them over a less costly service because I was convinced that they would be great and I wanted everything to go well. . . things quickly fell apart. Brenda Ayala, the woman we worked with, took several weeks to reply to emails and months to get estimates, she also missed scheduled phone calls. Each time she apologized and said she was busy. She was a very nice person but the service was atrocious. At one point, I was on the phone with her and vocalized that I was concerned that we were going over budget and wanted to review some of the decor suggestions/add ons that we had spoken about. Brenda said something like, "i'm sure your parents will get over it." At that point, I asked my mother to take over being the main point of contact as it made me extremely uncomfortable on top of the poor service. The day before my wedding we waited for most of the day for the tables etc. to be dropped off at the venue - they never came and we were late to the rehearsal dinner because of it. When the rentals did come they were not what we ordered. There were countless other issues that I don't think I need to detail here. Suffice it to say, working with Handheld nearly ruined my wedding day. The only bright spot was working with the main floral coordinator (not sure if that is her actual role). She was amazing and helped arrange a truly beautiful bouquet. She also came to the venue on the day of the wedding to supervise because there had been so many issues. Handheld gave us a few thousand dollars off of the final bill but that doesn't nearly make up for the stress and terrible service. I understand that May 2022 was a very busy time for wedding services but Handheld should not take on more clients than they can handle. Truly awful experience.

I recently hired ATS for my daughter's graduation party, and I couldn't be happier with their service. The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully...

Handheld Catering is amazing and I don't say that lightly. I have had many catered events over the years and Handheld Catering gave me an experience that...

Handheld Catering catered my friend's 50th birthday that I was hosting. Amazing end to end - from the first consultation (prompt responses, Zoom call)....
