I've thought long and hard about preparing this review of our family's experience with Chef Rima's team at Taste of Perfection. I've held off for too long - our daughter's wedding celebration for 175 people at the Tennessee State Museum was held in September, 2023. About a year in advance, we met with Chef Rima, she helped us craft a terrific plated dinner with options for our guests - we attended a tasting and were delighted with the menu and the food was delicious. However, at every step leading up to our event, the Taste of Perfection team's poor communication and inability to respond to questions with clear responses made the lead up to the event stressful and led to avoidable complications the night of the event that left my family angry and disappointed. Having spent over $25,000 on catering and staff for this event (including $1,300 of additional charges for 'responding to emails' - emails initiated by me and our wedding planner to share updates and secure clarification of catering needs), I had high expectations for a terrific, flawless catering service. In fact, my 175 guests were not served the meal we were expecting - the salmon was cold, dry and undercooked, the green beans were watery, the roasted potatoes were cold. The Taste of Perfection team did not have adequate working equipment to prepare meals for my guests and vendors in a timely manner. Their lack of preparation and poor communication made it impossible for our wedding planner and the staff at the Tennessee State Museum to anticipate their needs and problem solve effectively prior to and during the event. Despite having a detailed schedule prepared by our wedding planner a month before the event, the catering team was not ready to serve dinner at the designated time - the band left the stage and announced that dinner would be served and over an hour later many guests were still not served - including my husband and me. The vendors also were not served in a timely manner - our wedding planner ordered pizzas for our vendors so they could return to the stage. In sum, our experience with Taste of Perfection was a disaster. Their inability to communicate effectively with me, my wedding planner, and the venue staff to ensure that our event ran smoothly; their lack of providing the proper equipment to successfully prepare a meal for a large event; and their failure to prepare and serve the food as promised in a timely manner for our guests and our vendors, were beyond disappointing. I would not recommend hiring Taste of Perfection catering service.

This place is amazing!! This was catered at my apartment complex and I couldn’t stop eating the tacos. It’s so authentic. My favorite was the chorizo tacos. Highly recommend!

We’ve made the decision to hire Chef Rima and her team to cater our daughter’s wedding in September and we couldn’t be happier with our decision! We attended a tasting this weekend and sampled all the deliciousness! Our guests will be treated to the most lovely and tasty fresh made appetizers, plated dinner, desserts and late night snack! Perfection is spot on!!!

This food is to die for!!! This company catered an event in my building. The wide array of wonderful flavors made my taste buds scream! I would highly recommend, you will not be disappointed.
This company catered an event I attended, and I personally had a great time. The snacks and drinks were delicious and beautifully presented.The staff were quite friendly. I was asked what I wanted, and I said "surprise me", and I was pleasantly surprised.I had a good enough of a time to take the time to find them on here and leave a review.I couldn't tell you how much it cost though, I didn't pay for the event, I just stopped by. But I had a good time, and that's what catering companies are supposed to do, so mission accomplished.

AMAZING! We hired Chef Rima for our family vacation in the Smoky Mountains and I couldn’t be more pleased. The food was A1 and the service and presentation for each meal was impeccable. Don’t think about it, just hire her for your next event!
Amari Butler
She was VERY humble & respectful. All of the food was amazing as well! I’m using exclamation marks because that’s how happy and excited I was after eating her food?
