John and I were married on 11-11-11. Our wedding was planned in 3 weeks because we decided we wanted this special date to be our special date! I found a cake online; it was beautiful. I printed then faxed the copy of it to you. The cake I fell in love with had the beautiful colors of fall in cascading leaves and small decorative pumpkins. I remember you called me and said “Yes, I can make this cake”. I was so excited. The first thing I did after we were introduced at the reception was the first dance with my new husband. The second thing I did was go check out the cake. I couldn’t believe my eyes; it was perfect. The cake I fell in love with on paper was now sitting before me. I hated to cut the cake, but I had too! It was the most moist and tastiest cake I had ever eaten. In fact, everybody said it was wonderful. I will forever be grateful to Palate Pleasers.
Sincerely,
Tina & John

We absolutely LOVED Palate Pleasers! They catered our wedding reception and provided the wedding cake and everything was wonderful. We received so many compliments from our guests about the food and service. When planning with Sally and Amy they gave us multiple dinner and cake options to help fit our budget. I will recommend them to all my family and friends!

I loved working with Sally and Amy to provide the catering for my wedding day. They were so friendly and helpful with every aspect of the wedding planning and gave me honest advice on what my best options were. They were very flexible with my budget to give me the very best food and service for our money. I really liked that they only charge for the service hours billed by their staff, and are conscious to send servers home at the end of the night to save on costs. They also honored my request to recycle all bottles and cans and Amy prepared a special menu of locally sourced seasonal food for us. She also prepared a special white peach sangria for our cocktail hour, which was a huge hit! All of their food and desserts were absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend their catering to anyone planning an event in the Annapolis area!

We really enjoyed selecting this husband-and-wife team as our wedding caterer. We married aboard Schooner Woodwind in Annapolis, MD. Palate Pleasers prepared food that was perfect for an outdoor wedding -- didn't need to be heated or cooled, served in attractive baskets, easy to set up, etc. And the CAKE! The guests raved over its exquisite taste, especially because most wedding cakes cost a fortune, look fantastic, yet don't taste that great. This cake was reasonable, decorated just as we asked, and DELICIOUS to boot. One tier was lemon with lemon curd and fresh raspberry filling, and the other tier was chocolate filled with chocolate ganache and raspberries. Amy was very nice and helpful at our cake tasting and had an easy system for choosing our favorites. Good experience.

LOVED THEM! Loved working with Sally - she had excellent suggestions, but was also responsive to our desires. Food was fab - everyone said it was the best they had ever had at a wedding. People are still bringing it up 2 weeks later! They were also especially kind and willing to hold a lsot while I worked out details - thanks for all your patience!
They paid excellent attention to detail and made sure that we (the bride and groom) got fed and watered at regular intervals! Very key!
They also accomodated a primarily gluten free diet AND EVEN MADE A GLUTEN FREE CAKE in addition to the normal one. My celiac and allery filled family was DELIGHTED!
THANK YOU!

Palate Pleasers is known to have amazing cakes and they did not disappoint! When we went in for our tasting we couldn't decide on just one cake so we chose 4! Red velvet, chocolate ganache, almond, and even the yellow cake were scrumptious! They decorated them beautifully without any guidance from me. Every anniversary we plan on trying a different kind!

This was the best cake I have ever had. Normally I just eat the frosting...but this cake was delicious. We had the almond cake, with raspberry fill on one layer, and almond brittle on the next, covered in buttercream frosting. It was beautifull decorated...all I had to do was bring a picture of what I wanted it to look like...and it was done! The cake tasting was a lot of fun--and they have so many choices on flavors and cake styles. I definitely recommend palate pleasers to anyone that wants guests chowing down on their cake!

It was nice to have someone who was not only doing their job wonderfully, but was watching out for taking care of the bride and the groom. I was very pleased with Palate Pleasers and would recommend them to anyone

We had a small cake that sat on top of a gorgeous tower of cupcakes. It was exactly what I wanted and the taste was superb.

Palate Pleasers did a wonderful job on my cake. I wanted something simple, but elegant and they gave that to us. I am not a big sweets eater, and they gave u a great suggestion. They suggested we include fresh blueberries and peaches in the cream layer inside the cake. That was perfect for me and for our outdoor summer wedding. They were responsive, the cake was delivered on time, it was delicious and MOIST!

Palate Pleasers has the most amazing food. Sally and Amy were great to work with. They had wonderful ideas for the wedding. They even accomodated my request for wedding pies instead of cake! Everyone is still raving about the food!

The Palate Pleasers were a fantastic company to work with! They made my wedding day beautiful and delicious. The two weeks before my wedding there were several back and forth phone calls to discuss decor choices, but I could have never guessed how beautiful they would have made my venue. They really went above and beyond. The staff at my reception were incredibly professional and attentive, yet completely unobtrusive. Don't even get me started on the food! My mother in law told me after the wedding that she didn't feel like she was at a wedding, but instead a gourmet restaurant. I had so many compliments on the food and all of them were valid. When my husband and I got home from our honeymoon a week later we were surprised to find that my parents had dropped some of the leftovers in our freezer. Let me tell you that was the highlight of our day. I would recommend this catering company to anyone and can't wait to find an excuse to use them again!

Our cake was so beautiful. We chose to do a 2 tier decorated cake to cut and save and the rest was in 4 sheet cakes that were pre-cut and displayed for our guests. It saved us a ton of money and was so fun because we were able to pick 4 different flavors and fillings to give our guests a variety. There was plenty of cake left over and my family loved eating the leftovers for weeks. The service was excellent and really worked with our designs. Their catering is great too, but our venue had its own catering. I would have loved to use them for food as well.

The Palate Pleasers were an awesome caterer. Amy, the cook, made the most phenomenally delicious food - wonderful crab cakes, amazing hors d'oeuvres, and seemingly simple, but unbelievably delicious breaded chicken and mashed potatoes! Everyone at Palate Pleasers was extremely friendly and helpful, we got a lot of wonderful help in picking all our dishes - and I couldn't have been happier with the results! They're pretty laid back, but did everything to a T. They sent a great day-of coordinator, Michael, and they handled all the rentals, set everything up and made it all look great - and everything turned out perfectly! Everyone there the day of was extremely professional and unobtrusive. We would definitely highly recommend them for all your catering needs!

Palate Pleasers provided excellent catering for our wedding! The food was absolutely amazing, and our guests are still raving about it! They were very accomodating about meeting with me over the weekend, as I was out-of-town, as well as helping me create a menu that included a family recipe, and other unique selections. They were a little slower than I would prefer with returning emails, but I think that was more due to their new internet based services rather than lack of professionalism. We did have two concerns with them re: one of our rental items (which they arranged for) and the specific decoration of the cake, however they were responsive about both of these and made changes in our final bill to reflect this. The cake was delicious as well- just be sure to include a detailed description of design elements. Overall, Palate Pleasers did a great job, and I would highly recommend them as a caterer!

We had been to events catered by the Palate Pleasers in the past, and that is why we chose them to cater our wedding. They are very easy to work with, and met with us to make suggestions based on our event. They were extremely flexible, and allowed us to make changes easily. They are pretty laid-back as someone else mentioned; this has both pros and cons, but it's mostly a good thing because they're not in to high pressure sales. Prices are very reasonable, and they are up-front about their costs, which we didn't get with a lot of the other area caterers (everyone else seemed to want to hide their price list until we had decided on a menu which seemed a little backward to us!). Emails were always answered, but phone calls sometimes were unreturned and I had to call back. Overall, everything went well and we were pleased with their services. We would recommend them.

Palate Pleasers actually did our wedding cake for us. Our consultation was great, the owner was very nice. Our cake definitely tasted better than it looked. It looked like the decorations were rushed which was too bad because it was tasty.
