Reviews of Better Events Catering (Event Planner)

Brian Perrotte

Roberto and his staff are as good as it gets. They are very professional and the staff was very attentive. Roberto was there himself making sure everything was right. It is hard to find that kind of professionalism nowadays. If you book him you will not be disappointed.

Better Events served amazing food and provided wonderful service during our wedding and throughout the entire wedding planning process. The general manager, Roberto, treated us like kings/queens from our initial (free!) tasting which then carried over to the staff during the actual wedding. And the food is really fantastic - I'm usually disappointed with food at weddings, but our meal was delicious and commented on a lot from our guests. Just wonderful!!

Roberto & his team are the best of the best. I was so impressed with their professionalism, customer service & delicious food! Roberto was recommended by the venue we were having our wedding at and as soon as I first spoke with him I had a good feeling. I was planning my wedding from afar so it was nice to have a vendor that responded quickly to calls & emails. Roberto hosted a tasting for my parents (since my fiance & I were out of the country) & even offered to do another tasting for us after we had already booked with him. The food is just amazing & I had lots of guests comment about how good it was. Roberto is always 3 steps ahead, thinking of things that you may not have even considered to make sure your day goes as smoothly as possible!

Better Events Catering did an excellent job catering our wedding at the Carnegie Institute of Science in Washington DC. They set up our tables exactly how we wanted them in the multiple rooms that we used. The food was outstanding, I received multiple compliments from our guests that stated how good the food was. We appreciated the entire staff from Better Events Catering including the bar tenders and wait staff. Roberto, the owner of the company, was out on the main floor busting his butt to make sure we were satisfied. He was very professional and always exactly on time with everything we needed. We would highly recommend Better Events Catering to anyone that is looking for a catering company that prepares a quality product along with quality service.

Best service, food and staff! It was the easiest part of planning my wedding. I could not have asked for better. Roberto & his staff were excellent throughout the entire process of planning and the wedding. I couldn't believe how attentive they were. My guests loved the food and only had great comments to make about the staff. The pricing was extremely fair & Roberto offered several deals and discounts if you paid early or signed the contract early. Working with Better Events made my wedding planning easy, and I knew that I could trust them. I would recommend to anyone!

Better Events did a beautiful job setting up our wedding at Stone Manor Country Club in Middletown, MD. Better Events was recommended to us by my cousin who had a good experience with them at his wedding. We did not use Better Events for our food since wanted a certain type of food, so we used them for flatware, servers and bar setup. Roberto is very professional and knows what he is doing. We went to his office several times to meet with him and go over everything. He does offer some deals if you sign before a certain date. Otherwise, his prices are fairly set in stone. You do get charged per server per hour so be aware of that - a larger wedding that is longer will cost significantly more. We had estimated 175 at our first meeting but ended up having 240 people and the price jumped a large amount. Obviously, this makes sense but just be prepared for that if that happens. At the wedding, the servers were excellent, very professional and constantly refilling glasses. The bar was set up wonderfully and the bartenders I heard were very professional and made great drinks. Better Events arrived on time and set up the cocktail hour first and then the tent. The cocktail hour looked great, we had food passed around and served and they did everything just like we wanted. Roberto worked great with our food caterer, as well. When I walked into the tent, I was really blown away by how beautiful the tables looked - the plates and napkins were beautifully laid out and the tent looked stunning. I had purchased seven sparkly sequin chevron runners that I spent a lot of money on and wanted them to be used for the tables, cake table or dessert table, but they only used 3 of them for some reason, using the plain ones I supplied as well, instead. I did specify that all the sequin runners be used and was sad they were not. Also, at times it is hard to reach Roberto via email. I think calling is the best way to reach him because he often does not reply to emails.

Mr. Roberto provided the catering services for our daughter's wedding at SilverBrook Farm. He and his team performed flawlessly. Mr. Roberto is a complete professional that we are so grateful for his attention to detail assuring our event was one to remember for years. The food was superb, the staff were friendly and I cannot provide enough praise. If you are considering having an event catered I strongly recommend considering Mr. Roberto Torres of Better Events Catering a try. You will be absolutely delighted.
