  • Bachelorette Weekend

    •Verified review
    •Kelly B.•Sep 12

    We hired Purple Orchid to cater an entire bachelorette weekend, and she completely exceeded our expectations! From the moment everyone flew into town, she set the tone with a gorgeous dinner spread. Throughout the weekend, every single meal was not only delicious but also thoughtfully and creatively prepared. The attention to detail was outstanding—everything was aesthetically pleasing and Instagram-worthy, but also hearty and flavorful. She even surprised us with hangover shots of green juice each morning, which was such a fun and thoughtful touch! On Sunday, she closed the weekend with an incredible brunch that had everyone raving. What impressed us most was the seamless experience—she had proper staffing to make sure everything was served smoothly, and we never had to worry about a thing. Our whole group couldn’t stop talking about how amazing the food and service were. If you want catering that is both beautiful and absolutely delicious, with an elevated and creative touch, the Purple Orchid is the one to call. They truly made our weekend unforgettable!

    A Glowing Review for Alfreda Donaldson & The Purple Orchid Catering I cannot recommend Alfreda and The Purple Orchid highly enough! I’ve hired her twice now, and both experiences exceeded every expectation. First Event - Business Launch Party: Alfreda understood exactly what I needed for my very specific audience and event requirements. She delivered food that was not only absolutely delicious but also stunning to look at — perfectly matching our theme and elevated atmosphere. My guests are STILL raving about that food months later. The presentation was flawless, and every bite was memorable. Second Event - Private Retreat: Once again, Alfreda delivered perfection. Every single meal was beautifully crafted, served exactly on time, and executed to the highest standard we’d agreed upon. My retreat guests had an incredible culinary experience that enhanced the entire event. You could taste the love and precision in every dish. What sets Alfreda apart: • She’s incredibly easy to work with and truly listens to your vision • She brings creative ideas that elevate your event beyond what you imagined • Her execution is flawless — I never had to worry about the food because I knew she had it completely handled • She delivers at a level of quality and professionalism that’s rare to find Whether you’re planning a corporate meeting, private party, or special celebration, Alfreda will make your event unforgettable. She doesn’t just cater food — she creates experiences. Without hesitation, The Purple Orchid would be my first call for any future catering needs. I’m already looking forward to working with Alfreda again!

    I’ve trusted Alfreda with every one of my events since 2017, and she’s never missed a beat. From laid-back backyard BBQs to elegant full-service celebrations, she always delivers. Alfreda isn’t just a caterer—she’s a partner. She’s creative, reliable, and such a joy to work with. Her food always wows my guests, and her team makes sure every detail is spot-on. Big or small, casual or fancy, I know I can count on her for amazing service and unforgettable food. She’s always my first call, and I recommend her to anyone who wants their event to be seamless, memorable, and seriously delicious!
