    Awarded Best of Zola
    My daughter discovered Christine's Plates for her wedding. We had some disheartening meetings with other vendors. After my daughter's first meeting with Latasha she was able to exhale. Finally she had a vendor that listened to her wants. As her mother I was thrilled. The food was so delicious and the service was top notch. Annie, our coordinator, took all the stress away from us and made my daughter's day magical. Katrina was everywhere! If a question popped into our head...Katrina was right there to answer or find the answer for us. Christine's Plates are professional from start to finish. Our family highly recommends the extraordinary ladies of Christine's Plates.

    We worked with Margie and her team for our January 2023 wedding. We weren’t really sure what we wanted going into the consultation, but Margie helped us narrow down what we wanted and we ended up with three stations. Tacos, pasta, and sliders. They accommodated our guests with dietary restrictions very nicely. For example for our vegans, they often get a plate of mixed vegetables as their meals at weddings. Waiter’s Choice made BBQ jackfruit sliders for them and had pasta made with chickpeas so they had options to choose from. We didn’t get to eat much at our wedding as is usually the case, but we were happy to find a bag from Waiter’s Choice packed up with all off the different foods we had as well as a bottle of champagne. We both got colds after the wedding so we were very happy to live off those leftovers for a few days!

All of my teachings were hands on not hand written “little of this & little of that" then tasting until you are happy. To this day that is how I cook because Italian Food is all about fresh ingredients, heart, taste and a deep love of cooking.

    Truly one of the kindest and most down to Earth people i've ever met! Gina works with your budget and ensures that no matter how tight or long it is, you will have incredible food!
