I have contracted with this Caterer, although the event is upcoming and hasn’t occurred yet. However, my dealings with Marcia so far have been acceptable and professional. I will leave a further review after the event of November 21 which I expect to run very smoothly and seamless.

My Experience with the head chef and her team was the best experience I’ve had working with a catering staff. Very friendly and knowledgeable of what they were there to do. My event ran smoothly because they were there doing their best taking care of my guests. And the food was AMAZING. My guests couldn’t stop talking about it days after!

Marcia did a great job and provided a memorable dinner taste for our guests at my son’s wedding. Chicken was so yummy with rice and salad. The cake was so beautiful and delicious with the accompanying cup cakes. Service was timely and professional. She was very communicative and delivered exactly what we asked for. She even provided a hot&cold water dispenser in the last minute free of charge. Last but not least, it was very affordable and you can’t find any better deal with that price and quality. Thanks for everything Marcia!

The food was delicious and the display was beautiful at our wedding! We had the jerk pork brown sugar rosemary chicken with salad, green beans and rice! They even did a fruit and cheese display for the cocktail hour! The servers were amazing and made sure my new husband and I had food for when we finally got a chance to sit down and eat! The entire service team was amazing! Marcia is the best!!

Marcia has blown me away with the quality of her food, her service, genuine desire to bring all of my dreams to life, and essentially walking hand-in-hand with me through every step of the process for catering my wedding. She has gone above and beyond my expectations, and immediately felt like a friend when we began messaging. Marcia takes away every concern for me, and has relieved so much stress for the big day by cooking delicious food, helping me decide on service style, and making it all fit my price range. She. Is. PHENOMENAL! ***Update: Marcia brought my biggest wedding dreams to life! She was able to bring black-tie service to a location that had extremely limited facilities, and she and her servers went above and beyond to make sure our evening went off without a hitch. The food was not only delicious, but was so beautifully presented (and we received compliments on her salmon for weeks!). She also created the most stunning fruit display (pictured) for our cocktail hour. From day 1, Marcia was consistently communicating with me concerning each and every moving part of our dining experience (food choice, taste testing - pictured, wait staff, plating options, silverware/napkin choices, etc). I couldn’t have asked for a better caterer for or wedding, and I’m so incredibly grateful to Marcia for setting the tone for our once in a lifetime event!

Jamaica Coast Catering did an outstanding job for our Mother and daughter double graduation event. The food was fantastic and the servers were professional. This is absolutely a catering company I will definitely recommend for your next venue. The owner Marcia is friendly, warm, and professional. She truly vaules her work and her clients. Thank you Marcia and your servers for a memorable time. God bless!

We have only wonderful things to say about both your food (which we didn't really get to try until the next day, haha) and your staff. The opinion of everyone that attended our wedding reception was very positive. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful! Everything was delicious, from the vegetarian options to the pasta salad and meat patties. We were very happy with everything and will certainly consider you for our next large event. Several people have asked the name of the catering company and we eagerly passed along your name. Thanks again for all your help and patience throughout the entire planning process to the day of execution. Have a wonderful Christmas! Chandra & Rodney Scroggins

I hired Jamaica Coast Catering to cater my employer's 4th annual Thanksgiving Luncheon and the food was superb! Our staff raved about the buffet selections; and it was great that Marcia & her team brought enough food, so that each staff member could have some of everything. My only issue with Marcia was their punctuality. They did not arrive at our office on time and when I called her (3 times), she did not answer. When I followed up with her about this, she told me that they did arrive on time but got held up in the loading dock of our building with security. She admitted that this could have been avoided had she read my instructions about gaining access to our office. She apologized, which I appreciated. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and we'd definitely use Jamaica Coast Catering again in the future.
