The Ultimate Affaire

I got married Feb 19th, 2011 and I have to say part of the success in my wedding was working with The Ultimate Affaire. Lindsey and the entire team at The Ultimate Affaire were terrific!

We interviewed several caterers and knew immediately The Ultimate Affaire was the best match for us. Lindsey listened to what I didn't want and came up with exactly what I did want.

The food was amazing. We had appetizers which were tasty and unique so for you brides looking for something different, these guys have it! After the appetizers, we had a sit down dinner for about 100. It started with a great Caesar salad, which had just the right about of dressing and flavor. Finally, we had a lovely portion of filet mignon, potatoes, and green beans which were all cooked perfectly, even with at least a 30 minute delay in the start of our wedding. The Ultimate Affaire also had a great selection for kids. For our guests that were vegetarians, they created a stuffed mushroom that may have been better than the beef and I was thrilled to not serve those guests the typical pasta dish. Also, I had a few guests with dietary restrictions and The Ultimate Affaire handled these requests without skipping a beat- true professionals!

Besides the amazing food, the service was outstanding! No detail was too small, no request was too large. If I had any questions Lindsey was not only available to answer the questions and extremely timely as well, but she had great suggestions to go wtih the answers.

Brides- you won't go wrong with The Ultimate Affaire! They are professional, high quality, and great to work with.

Ultimate Affaire Catering did an absolutely wonderful job with our wedding. The food was delicious and presented beautifully. Lindsey was very easy to work with, always responded to emails quickly, and always made time to meet with me when I wanted. They were very fair with pricing and provided very good service. On the day of the wedding, they went out of their way to help us with last minute details. I am very appreciative and very happy with what we received. I would definitely recommend them to anyone and everyone! - Stella & James

I had several caterers to choose from, and went with The Ultimate Affaire because Lindsey and her husband were extremely personable, the pricing was very decent, and they had a variety of food options. The guests raved about the mini chicken waffle appetizers (how creative!) and the chilean sea bass (most brides say they don't eat much during their big day, but I finish the whole plate!).

I had no issues getting in contact with Lindsey, who was responsive and helpful. She attended a walk through with my coordinator at our venue before the wedding, and offered her experienced advice (e.g., she mentioned that the venue we were using had a limit on electricity voltage, so we knew to rent LED lights instead of regular uplights). I also had a vision for the look and feel for my reception, and she nailed it with the rentals she had and was able to get.

On the day of the wedding, Lindsey and her team were prompt and always there to help when needed. When the groom and I had some down time before the reception, her husband was kind enough to offer some chairs to sit on and some water. (What caterer goes out of their way like that when they're busy cooking the meals?)

Needless to say, I'd highly recommend Lindsey and her team to everyone who wants a classy, elegant reception with good quality food. I don't normally give these type of reviews, but feel that Lindsey and her team deserve it for the great work they did at my wedding!

The food was great and the staff was wonderful. However I did have a problem with Lindsey, she made so many wonderful suggestions and promises at the beginning that I ended up depending on her too much. She said that she would coordinate the event and tell people where to go and when, however she arrived later than expected and hardly did any of the coordinating leaving my maid of honor the job. I was way overcharged for the ceremony chairs ($3.50/chair vs. $1.85/the same chair) plus I received 15 less than I ordered and paid for. Also I had to arrange the chairs myself. At the end Lindsey did not return my security deposit saying that I had 10 extra people. I checked and rechecked and called people to find that I only had 3 extra people including children. I feel taken advantage off.

The food and service was fabulous. From the first contact with Lindsey, to the tasting with Matt everything was great. I found The Ultimate Affaire was very responsive. We did our wedding at Rancho Las Lomas and our guests raved about the food and the service. They handled our coordination, linens and cake also. I highly recommend The Ultimate Affaire.

Outstanding!!!! I can not say enough great things about The Ultimate Affaire! This husband/wife team are amazing!!!The husband does the catering. The food was great and we had complete say over what we wanted or didn't want on the menu. And Lindsay, the wife, was our wedding planner! She is my hero!!! She made EVERYTHING run smoothly! Prior the the wedding we sat down several times to discuss what exactly I wanted. She was great at giving recommendations for vendors and any other advice I needed! The day of the wedding they were fantastic! Every detail was taken care of! From lighting candles to making sure we knew when to start walking down the aisle to grabbing us a cocktail while we were waiting for the reception to start!They were calm and laid back while still managing to pull everything off flawlessly! They are DEFINITELY who you want on your team for the most important day of your life!!!

The food and rental was reasonably priced. I worked with Lindsey and in the beginning she was helpful and full of suggestions. However, as my date got closer, it was hard to get in contact with them for the last minuet details. I was frustrated with the final bill (since she included stuff I already mentioned I didn't want and the pricing was different from what we agreed on). Thank god my coordinator dealt with it. My coordinator did mention they had a good staff and all in all, the food was good. I would recommend them but just to keep an eye on things, especially towards the end.

Caterer for the Chateau. Very flexible menu.
