FABULOUS! Your party-planning life will be made a gazillion times easier, and your guests pleased with the food if you hire Aroma Buena to cater your event. I worked with Catering Manager Ivan to plan a birthday party for my husband, with a theme of salsa dancing. I had some big ideas - hey let's set up staging stations in the gardens to encourage people to walk around and visit - and some vague concepts - hmn, we'll have between 100 and 200 people. Ivan quickly grasped my vision and ran with it, translating an idea into perfectly turned out details. He devised a terrific menu, but most importantly, he approached the task with the precision of a diamond cutter and the kindness and patience of a dear friend. He was simply a pleasure to work with - very quick to return calls and always agreeable and professional - even on the night of the event, when we had to troubleshoot a few issues that arose from my guests. He provided flowers as well and beautifully presented food. His crew, also, was terrific - extremely well-trained, professional, polite and kind. I simply could not have imagined a better caterer. Oh, and I forgot about the food - it was terrific and our guests really enjoyed it. He helped to make my husband's birthday party memorable and fun and my life easier. I would work with Ivan again in a heartbeat. I don't believe another caterer could exceed the quality of Aroma Buena's work.

Just wanted to thank you for a wonderful breakfast!
 
As I suspected, the sales employees were impressed and they hoped we’d have more catered meetings.
 
We’ll definitely keep you on file for the next meeting or event.
 
Thanks again.

I sought out Aroma Buena to cater a 50th birthday party (for 70 people). Ivan was very easy to work with and together we hammered out a menu to satisfy the vegetarians and meat eaters alike. I wish I could have chosen some seafood dishes (but didn't because of some of my guests allergies).
 
Ivan communicated very well, he was professional and my guests LOVED the food. What more could you want.
 
Lastly, I talked with 3 other caterers, and his prices are extremely fair and competitive. I would definitely use this company again.

Asked Ivan to help us out for our Holiday party this past Sunday. He was not only a sweetie, but the food was AMAZING!!! Everyone loved the stuffed mushrooms!!! They actually went the fastest. Personally I enjoyed the Spinach empanadillas, the hot sauce with them was spicy and yet the perfect accompaniment. The coconut shrimp were large and tasty, and the chicken skewers were too! Plantains were the most wonderful sweet thing to round out our menu. Thank you Ivan for all your help!! Spa Fusion will definitely be calling you again!!!

This catering service was great. We hired them for our wedding reception at the Crowne Plaza hotel, and their professionalism was perfect. The bride is from the Dominican Republic, and trying to find a cater to meet that need was hard, but Aroma Buena Catering was able to work with us perfectly to create what we needed. When they delivered..... WONDERFUL!!!! The wedding was of an Indian groom and Dominican bride so the buffet was mixed with Indian food and Aroma's Dominican food, and their dishes were the first to finish, our guests (470 people) loved it and cleaned out the chafers. We had Cassava with an olive oil and garlic sauce for appetizers, spicy chicken breast pieces (boneless!), fried plantains, and beans for dinner. The chicken was gone first. It was juicy and tender, the beans were, soft, saucy, and seasoned, and the plantains were crisp, sweet, and just great....the perfect touch to represent the bride's Dominican culture. The service was very professional, respectable, friendly, and perfect. The food was delicious, fresh, and presentable. I would have another party just to hire them to come cater for it.....
