    I have only heard horror stories about Orange blossom catering, there is a reason they have GREAT prices.

    Many of the girls on here have used Catering by Design and Amici's. recently Amici's has been getting GLOWING reviews compared to Catering by Design.

    I've read some very negative reviews about Catering by Robert and very mixed reviews about Catering by Design.  I've heard good things about Amici's.  We went to a tasting with them and were less than impressed however.  So, we ended up booking Delectables and have been VERY happy.

    Check out WeddingWire.  They are a great source for reviews:

    I was at a wedding show where Amici's was a vendor.  Their food was incredible and I've read nothing but rave reviews on them.

    We just signed with Amici's and couldn't be more excited! Our tasting was wonderful and they have been very professional. Plus, they worked with us on the prices & package options.

    Catering By Design was incredibly nice for our tasting (and very creative)! But their price was a little steep for us (especially after Amici's negotiated price).

    Orange Blossom was very harsh and inflexible when it came to scheduling a tasting. (no private tastings and only 1 group tasting available per month!) We weren't comfortable talking contract until we tasted their food, and they didn't seem to care.

    I'm having Amici's at my wedding and they were the first and only caterer we had a tasting with. The food is amazing and the service is as well.

    We used Amici's for the wedding...service was amazing...and people are still talking about how amazing the food was.  We have heard comments such as "best wedding food ever".

    We used Ornage Blossing Catering for the rehearsal, which was a heavy appetizer menu.  The food was really good, and they worked with us on the menu and pricing.  MIL decided not to have a tasting since it was the rehearsal, and how bad can appetizers be?  Plus, Brian at our wedding Venue, Mirror Lake Lyceum, has Ornage Blossom in frequently and said that he has never had any problems with them.  So, we took that into considration as well.
