I had the pleasant opportunity of discovering and subsequently retaining the catering services of “Cassie Moments” Catering for our family’s 2022 28th Family Reunion picnic. After meeting with Mrs. Straughter to share our desired services, to include contract requirements, followed by a delectable taste test, there was no doubt in my mind that she was fully capable of meeting our needs.
The Sunday Family Reunion picnic was phenomenal! My family was extremely delighted with the selected “southern inspired” menu and gave “Cassie Moments” Catering high marks on the quality of the food, their service, preparation and presentation. Mrs. Cassie Straughter, owner of this wonderful catering business is very efficient, polite and prompt. Her attention to detail was appreciated and gives me confidence whenever I recommend “Cassie Moments” Catering to others.
