TLC Catering — Local services in Bartow

I'm late in submitting this review, but I was the planner for the event reviewed by Pauline (see below) back in June at the Bedford Gathering Place, for a celebration of life service for my mother-in-law.

TLC was on the ball, and often responded within minutes of me emailing them. Their menus were flexible and diverse, and Suzanne was patient with me as I changed my mind 75 times about how much food we'd need and what kind. I could not speak highly enough about the preparation process, and with all the plates I was juggling on that day, it was a relief not to have to wonder about the catering, because communications from TLC were clear and prompt, leaving no room for worry or doubt.

Jessica, our onsite caterer, was equally fabulous to work with. She was resourceful and found a way to set up in a relatively small space without making anything look cramped. She had an incredible sense of when to be present, and when to fade into the background so that family and friends could visit. I could not have asked for a better catering experience.

Oh yes - the FOOD! I got compliments from nearly every single person who attended on how fresh and creative and aesthetically pleasing the small plates and finger foods were. It was just perfect, and there was more than enough for everyone.

You can't go wrong with TLC Catering, and I'd recommend them to anyone in Polk County and surrounding areas. They do a fantastic job with every element of the catering experience and I look forward to using them again for events...

We hired Terrie Lobb Catering for a surprise 60th birthday celebration for my parents and they were phenomenal! They arrived right on time and started setting up.

Beth and Lorie were the servers assigned to our event and they were outstanding. Our event was scheduled from 4pm - 9pm and Beth and Lorie were there at 3pm.

Around 3:45pm we lost complete power after a thunderstorm and these ladies did not let that deter them from their job and were very pleasant to deal with. The power was restored after 8pm so they had to do their jobs the entire time with no power at all.

The loss of power put a damper in our festivities but the only thing that went right for us was the catering. The food was delicious! Every bit of it. And the service again, was outstanding. Beth and Lorie did great and served our guests with a smile and a caring heart even though I know that they were uncomfortable due to the heat.

My family, guests and myself most definitely recommend Terrie Lobb Catering for anyone who is looking for a caterer.
