The food was FANTASTIC - people are still talking about it. We did the fried chicken, collards, mac-n-cheese bar (gotta do it!), fried green tomatoes etc and it was WONDERFUL! It's def. pricey - so get ready for that. It's fun to have a server just for the bride and groom too! We actually got to eat the yummy food. There was a miscommunication between us, our sales coord. and the coord. from Bold American that was at the reception and it was about money - which is NOT something you want to talk about at your reception. Just make sure everyone is on the same page about the timeline and you'll be good to go! Very very very good food, the bar tenders were great and the service staff - they were AWESOME!!!!

I had the pleasure of working with Nicki and Mia for my wedding in February at the Biltmore Ballrooms. Throughout the entire planning process, Nicki and Mia were both very responsive and such a pleasure to work with. For the big day, the service and food was amazing. All the guests complimented on how tasty the dinner was and how great the service was (we had about 170 guests). Bold also handled our rehearsal dinner at a private venue (King Plow) and it was amazing! I highly recommend working with this company - they are fairly priced, you can trust them and they are great quality!!

Bold is AMAZING! It was a pleasure working with Amanda Gall and her team before and on the big day! Brynn was a super sweet day of contact and we were so pleased with everything. The food was to die for! Would highly recommend Bold to anyone!

Bold American was a complete disappointment as a wedding caterer. Complete. I would like to say, first of all, that I did not come into this wedding with unrealistic expections. I understand that this is bulk catered food and will not be restaurant quality. That being said, the food provided by Bold American was a complete and utter disappointment and many of our guests commented negatively upon the quality of the food. We as a couple getting married were embarrassed, and I was embarrassed to hear that many of our guests went down the street after the wedding to grab an “actual meal”. Even we as the newlywed couple went to a hotel bar after OUR WEDDING to grab two hamburgers so we could have something decent to eat. We participated in Bold American’s tasting, which was a complete bait and switch and not representative of the low quality food we were presented at our wedding. We paid thousands of dollars to Bold American and could have had better food catered for 40% less. Bold American responded to the low quality product by giving us roughly a 15% discount on our expenditure, but we would have gladly paid that 15% to have had presentable, warm, fresh food at our wedding. The service team that they provided were professional and attentive, but could not overcome the food shortcomings. Here is the rundown: -The appetizers were brutal. Greasy phyllo filled with mystery meat. Clammy spring rolls. Old endive. -The main courses. A flaming shrimp station which was nothing that it was billed to be. Rather than plump shrimp kebabs with fresh vegetables and sauce, we got overcooked wrinkled bait shrimp, unrecognizable overcooked vegetables, NO SAUCE, served on a bed of plain white rice. Literally, each of our patrons got a miniature three inch kebab with two U50 shrimp on it on a full plate of plain unseasoned, undressed white rice. -Flank steak. Overcooked, gray, ICE cold, with overcooked unseasoned ICE COLD vegetables. Do not let these people ruin your wedding.

Bold American was fantastic! Jeffrey was a delight to work with and most importantly: the food was amazing. I even made a point to eat, though most brides complain they don't get to, because for the money I wasn't willing to miss out on the amazing food! Bold was flexible and accommodating. I will certainly be using them again for any catering needs. It's a little pricey, but worth it!

The food was fantastic! Be careful when you go for the 'taste testing'...what you are really getting is a full multi-course meal. They did a very good job on presentation and we were surprised at how well they kept up with collecting used plates and drinks, keeping the serving area and table organized and clean. Overall, an excellent company to cater an event.

Bold recently handled the catering for my wedding at Summerour Studio and I can only say good things! Amanda, my catering contact, helped to develop a diverse, yet regionally inspired menu consisting of a bountiful spread and several food stations that truly impressed myself (as well as my guests). In fact, I still dream about that deep fried turkey with the creole mustard... and the steak, the STEAK!! Served a perfect medium rare! Thank you!!! And, I would be remiss to not mention the "little plates" of GA mountain trout, with spinach and sweet potatoes, that wow-ed our guests from Miami and San Diego... all seafood snobs, too! We were so excited to show them what the South could truly offer! Also, Clare, who handled the decor and florals, also set the mood by creating a soft, romantic setting... with lights strung over the dance floor and tables sprinkled with candles and little glass vases with white flowers. Two thumbs up for the Bold American Team!

Perfect is the only way to describe our experience with Bold. And that's because that was what we received - perfection! Jacqui meet with me and we discussed what I wanted as far as food and price and she met our needs and wants and exceeded our exceed our expectations in every way. I changed my mind about the menu dozens (no, really) of times and she happily sent me a new, perfectly detailed proposal every time I though of something new. Most importantly, she got back to, within the hour, every single time I called or emailed with a question, idea or change. THIS IS CUSTOMER SERVICE! With Bold you get TOP notch service through the whole process - menu planning, event design, tasting (OMG IT WAS GOOOOOD!) walk through at the venue, time line development, the event and break down. All included in the basic catering plan - no extra hidden charges here ladies! And the food - people are still talking about how good it was! It was exactly what we wanted, down to the crunchy on the top mac n cheese. They worked to hard to make us happy! And no need to spend extra for buffet table decor - because Bold does it for you - free! The price. It's not over the top expensive, and you get way more than you would expect. Great food, excellent customer service, seamless event, and even mom was happy! Thank you thank you thank you Bold American.

Jacqui, Michelle, David, Steve and the rest of the staff were amazing at Bold American Events and Catering. We primarily used their event planning and decoration services. We also used their catering services, although the food was provided by an outside restaurant with Bold American taking care of all food coordination. We also give a great big shout out to Jacqui for making our night so great. Although we made all the plans while living in a different city, she was very accommodating in answering everything via phone and email. She was very attentive and was so flexible with all the multiple changes. On the day of the event, everything was setup as we had imagined it to be and the staff was superb, very friendly, and professional. I would highly recommended Bold American for their great service and professionalism and all the small details that they can take care of. Thank you once again! – Prerna & Jelle

Bold American is by far one of the best caterers in Atlanta, which is why they are pretty pricey. The food is incredible- seriously some of the best you will ever have at a wedding. Their staff is dedicated to making you happy and their sales reps are great. They provide a personal server and ours was awesome. Bold is good and they know it, and they are used to running the show and not worrying about cost to you. Be careful and make sure you are specific about what you want and what your budget is. Overall, Bold is wonderful and I recommend them to any bride who wants to make a statement and doesnt mind the price.

We used Bold American and Decor for our wedding reception. Everything was fantastic and turned out fabulous. We are still getting calls and emails about how beautiful our reception was and how the food was so delicious. Our personal server was very attentive and made sure our glasses were full and got us food so we would not have to get up and could enjoy the night. Everything they said they would do they did and in the time frame they said. If Jacqui told me she would send out a revision the next day, she would. We never had to wait on anything and they were extremely professional and excellent to work with. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for wonderful food and a great group of people to work with.

I grant a lot of the success of my wedding day to Bold American. They are wonderful to work with, have lots of great ideas, and are very willing to work with their clients and their budgets. I feel like we got away with a really great deal for all the service we got. The venue (at the King Plow Arts Center) was just our style, and everyone thought it was just perfect for us. The servers were wonderful; the food was DELICIOUS and plentiful; and Jeffrey, with whom I worked to make it all happen, is just the nicest guy. If I had to gripe, it would be that there was a dress rehearsal for the next day's wedding that was scheduled for right before my wedding time, so that the other party was in the event space using it while we were trying to set up our decorations. My wedding was on a Friday, and so I understand that the other party had to have their rehearsal that day, but I wish it had been scheduled a little earlier. Apparently the mother-of-the-bride got snippy with my husband about being in their way (which of course isn't totally BA's fault), and their use of another space in the complex meant that the groomsmen had to change in the public men's restroom across the hall. However, for the inconvenience, they threw in an extra service gratis: they took down all our decorations after we left at 1am! If I had to do it all again, I would definitely stick with Bold American.
