| - If I could give them a billion stars, I absolutely would!
Special Moments catered our wedding on May 8, 2015, at the air force museum in Mesa. They were a recommended vendor and had worked at the venue before, so I decided to go with them after checking out some additional reviews.
First, I must say that their communication skills are excellent. I live in Dubai and planning a wedding halfway across the globe is stressful enough, as I can only communicate through email or through my sister who was local. Brad, Michelle and their team were prompt and clear with their communication. They also were very patient with me and honored last year's prices as I was having trouble securing the venue.
Unfortunately, I couldn't be present to do a tasting, so my sister went with her 5 year old daughter and her friend. My sister was thoroughly impressed by the presentation of the tasting - the chef even made child sized portions for my niece, even though she didn't eat it! It was a very kind and thoughtful touch, and was greatly appreciated. The food we chose was the chicken chipotle, beef puff pastry, and they added an extra vegetarian side for free. It was all delicious when I finally got to try it.
I came into Phoenix about 9 months before the wedding and finally met with Michelle. She was so interested in our theme (vintage air travel) and wanted to match the buffet tables to our decor. I met her again just a week before the wedding to get some last minute details in. She showed me these amazing vintage glasses she found at an antique shop with old airline brands and said she would use them on the tables. I was impressed by her desire to match the decor.
On the day of the event, I arrived early (I know, I'm shocked too!) and was met by Dan who was in charge of the staff for the evening. Dan was amazing - he ensured we received our plated meals as well as wrapping up all the leftover food and sending it home with my family. The staff even folded up my ceremony chairs after the ceremony! I would have never asked them to do it however, they were happy to pitch in without even being asked.
All the staff were kind and helpful, and Dan was great - he gave us tips on cake-cutting (who knew it was so technical?) kept communication open with me throughout the whole day.
Thank you so much Special Moments! Your staff definitely helped make our day very special.
