Engagement Party Catering

Amazing and very delicious food. Is a must have.

So my wife and I had Andy and his team over last night for a private dinner with friends… words cannot express how amazing and incredible this experience was. My friends were all left in awe of how wonderful the service, the food and the atmosphere was. They made sure everything was taken care of and even asked my wife to check the kitchen to ensure that they left it cleaner than when they arrived. Absolutely loved this and will be using them again.

Food and service were phenomenal!

The absolute best food and service I have ever experienced. I will use Andy’s catering company for all my personal and business events in the future.

I can't tell if it was the food or the experience that I liked most but both were fantastic.

Big Boards did an event at our annual camp for special needs two weeks ago. The staff was accommodating for our many needs and fantastic to work with! They helped me plan everything from start to finish and brought plenty of their staff to help serve and get things out quickly. Not only was the food flavorful and delicious, the buffet they set up was beautiful! The vines and flowers around the buffet table, and the carafes they used for everything were stunning. Extremely professional, clean, and super helpful. I will definitely be using them again in the future.

Delicious food and even better service, I had Chef Andy take care of the meal part of my housewarming party and I could not stop getting compliments on the food. By far the best pulled pork and grits I’ve had in my life!

Andy and his team made my milestone birthday party absolutely fabulous! The food was delicious and the presentation was festive and elegant. All of my guests raved about how they enjoyed the food. The set up and take down were super smooth as well. I highly recommend Big Boards Catering!

I recently attended a birthday party catered by Big Board Catering. The food was excellent and the shrimp and grits were unmatched! I highly recommend Big Boards!

We had Chef Andy and Big Boards cater my wedding a few weeks back and it was nothing short of amazing! Andy is the absolute best and always made himself available to me no matter what time it was. He listened to all my crazy requests (some of them being unreasonably last minute) and he made it happen! We personally asked for crab cakes to be part of the menu and even though it was not something he had done previously he KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK (definitely recommend those for your event!). He was also the life of the party personally my guests could not stop talking about him! Cannot thank him enough!

Big Boards Catering handled food for a combined event at our house — my son's grad party and my other son's 21st birthday, all in one day. They nailed it. The buffet looked incredible, with gold chafing dishes, fresh greenery, and a little fountain centerpiece that had everyone asking who did our catering. The food was just as good as it looked. The meatball and cherry tomato dish disappeared fast, the pesto pasta and marinara penne were both great, and the pretzel bites and chicken skewers were a hit too. Everything stayed warm and got refilled without us having to flag anyone down, which made a big difference with two different crowds to feed. Juggling a grad party and a 21st birthday under one roof wasn't simple, but they made it look effortless. Would absolutely book them again.

Andy is the epitome of professionalism. He and his team at Big Boards truly specialize in making the experience stress-free and highly enjoyable for the host. If you want a caterer who serves gorgeous and delicious food and takes amazing care of you from start to finish, Andy is your guy!

We hired Andy to cater our daughter’s Baby Shower and he did an exceptional job. It was an “Amalfi Coast” themed event and the menu Andy developed was superb. Everything was delicious, the set up and staffing of the event was perfect. Highly recommend!

Andy and his crew catered our Halloween party and the set up was stunning and the food was incredible. All of our guests loved the food. We usually have left overs, but not this time! It was devoured. Will definitely hire them again and have recommended them to all of our family and friends.

We were truly blessed to have Big Boards Catering provide a meal for our entertainment team and crew on the day of our show at the House of Blues Orlando. Andy and his team not only delivered exactly what was promised, but went above and beyond with their guidance, professionalism, and attention to detail. They understood our group’s needs perfectly, and the food presentation was outstanding—absolutely fitting for the setting and occasion. Everything was handled with excellence. As a former member of the Country Music Association, Gospel Music Association, and the Recording Academy (Grammys), I can confidently say I highly recommend this local business for any catering needs. You will not be disappointed.

When we first talked with Andy about catering our wedding, which was at a unique venue; a nature center in the woods, what sold us was his immediate enthusiasm. He and his team were wonderful. His diligence to make sure we were happy with everything was impressive. He even asked us to come visit the kitchen a few months before the wedding to sample some items before we committed to hiring him as our caterer, even had us try a few items we hadn't asked about having on the menu before hand. Himself and his team were incredible at the wedding. For my next event I know who I'm hiring to cater, it'll be Andy from Big boards.

Outstanding food and service!!! We used Andy and his team for my daughter’s high school graduation party, and they absolutely exceeded every expectation. The food was incredible, the presentation was beautiful, and the entire staff was professional, friendly, and attentive from start to finish. Andy made the planning process so easy and stress-free, and he truly helped make the party so memorable. Highly recommend for any special event!!

I attended a party that Big Boards did the catering for, the food was amazing! The cheese grits were awesome, best cheese grits I've ever eaten. All the food was amazing, but the chicken biscuits were a special standout!

They are catering my niece’s graduation party. The food is the best and so is the staff!!!

Excellent selection of appetizers. Loved the crabcakes. Great service, constant staff circulation.

Big Boards Catering absolutely delivered one of the best private chef dining experiences we’ve had. Chef Andy Raphael and his team, Erica and Judy, created a restaurant-quality chef’s tasting experience right in our friend’s home with flawless execution, incredible presentation, and genuinely warm hospitality from start to finish. Every course stood out. The shrimp ceviche with avocado was bright and refreshing, the lollipop lamb chops with Yukon mash were perfectly cooked and packed with flavor, and the lobster skewers with seafood boil sauce were unforgettable. The sous vide tomahawk steak finished over fire with chimichurri was a true showstopper, perfectly rare with an amazing charred and smoky finish. The Mediterranean shrimp and cheese grits and the beef tenderloin with multicolored carrots in pan sauce were both rich, balanced, and beautifully plated. Luxurious! They ended the night with lovely chocolate cannolis finished with salted caramel drizzle. Beyond the food, the service was superb. Chef Andy, Erica, and Judy were professional, attentive, organized, and made the entire evening feel elevated but comfortable at the same time. This was easily food worthy of a high-end chef’s tasting menu experience. Highly recommend Big Boards Catering for private dinners, special occasions, or anyone looking to seriously impress their guests.

He is so sweet! The food was amazing!!

Shrimp and grits were absolutely delicious We also had a tomahawk steak cooked Perfectly. Everything tasted great and very friendly staff

Absolutely incredible dinner catered by BIG BOARDS CATERING. From the fresh ceviche and chili oil lobster to the perfectly cooked tomahawk steak, shrimp & grits, and beef tenderloin with carrots — every course was outstanding. And the chocolate cannolis were the perfect ending. Not only was the food amazing, but the team was professional, personable, and incredibly tidy throughout the entire evening. Such a great experience from start to finish. Highly recommend 🙏

Amazing! Outstanding! Delicious! From seafood to lamb to steak…cannot be BEAT!!!

Incredible service, Andy and his team gave our dinner party winning dishes one after another. Would highly recommend.

SO GOOD!!! Always such a pleasure seeing this team at an event & the food never ever disappoints!

Matthew's Hope used Big Boards for our Fall Fundraiser event, and they absolutely knocked it out of the park! The presentation was stunning, the selection was incredible, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how amazing the spread looked and tasted. From planning to delivery, the team was professional, reliable, and a joy to work with. They helped make our event a massive success, and we will definitely be using them again. Highly recommend!

Search no more. Big boards is the one! Amazing, delicious And Beautiful catering. Thank you Andy and team!

BBC did an amazing job providing the food for our cocktail hour at our December 2024 wedding at Sterling Events Venue in Minneola. There was such a great variety of options for everyone to enjoy, and everything was displayed so beautifully. Our guests absolutely loved it! I would highly recommend them for any catering event.

We’ve had Andy and his team support multiple events, and they consistently exceed expectations every single time. The food is outstanding both in quality and presentation, and the staff is professional, attentive, and genuinely committed to creating a great experience. What truly sets them apart is their flexibility and partnership. They work closely with us on menu selection, timing, and overall event flow, making everything seamless and stress-free. I would highly recommend Andy for any event whether it’s an intimate gathering or a large-scale function. They deliver excellence across the board.

Working with Andy to plan our Derby party was delightful. He really listened and delivered on our vision. The set up, take down and service during the party left nothing for us to do but enjoy our party! Thank you Andy and team!

Thank you to Andy and Teresa Raphael at Big Board Catering and My Favorite Tutor! We are so grateful for your generous donation of a Taco Bar for Foundation Academy Teacher Appreciation luncheon!

Attended a Derby Party and the food was a highlight! Everything was delicious and there was a wide variety of items to choose from. Would definitely recommend for your next event party!

Top class good it was totally amazing you will not be disappointed

Andy and the team at Big Boards Catering is the best. Ate some of the most delicious food at a catered event in Winter Garden recently and I was blown away. Everything was extremely well-seasoned, juicy and tender proteins, and staff was very kind/professional. Was so impressed I'm having them do wedding catering for me later this year! I love this team and their food; you will too 😉

Great tasting food served by friendly people.

Andy is a culinary genius, creating the most savory, mouthwatering dishes. His personality is magnetic and his attention to detail is impeccable! With Andy, you can enjoy the parties you host!!!

Andy did an absolutely amazing job with planning our Family party! It was such a good feeling to enjoy the Party rather than worry about details of serving! Andy will be cherished as “Must Have” to all my events!! 🎸⭐️

Our meeting was catered by Big Boards and the food was delicious, and thats saying something because im pretty picky. Great work and they are so friendly!

Great food and great people! 🫶🏼

Super amazing Chef - everything he makes is delicious

We were trying to decide on food for a large event but we’re worried about clean up. Andy was very quick to respond and suggested a perfect solution. I have his food at a number of events and it’s always delicious.

Really amazing food. And, the company culture is beautiful. Love the food and the team. Andy was so kind to come to my home and quote the event. He even brought samples!! Excellent communication. Shrimp/Grits/Brisket/Mac and cheese. Everything was amazing.

Great company with awesome service.

I love the deliciousness of his food, the service and presentation of big boards catering. I don’t have time to make lavish meals for my parties and Chef Andy always surpasses my expectations. I highly recommend you book them asap. Make your people happy through good food. You won’t regret it.

Andy and Big Boards Catering makes some delicious food! Sometimes with catering and making mass qualities, quality can be lost and that’s not the case with Big Boards. I would highly recommend them for any event! They are the best.

Excellent Catering Company, local to West Orange and beyond…

Excellent savory food made with care. If you want someone who cares to cater your special event, call Andy. Best food and catering in orlando! Anything from formal events to bussiness meetings and a delicious bite, Big Boards Catering is amazing!

Great tasting food and excellent service is what you will get when you hire Big Boards Catering

Wow thank you! They showed up and made it easy to feed our group of 50. The food was fresh and delicious.

Andy and his team are amazing and the food is out of this world.

I am so grateful for Andy and Big Board Charcuterie. I call Andy “Mr. Clutch” because when a caterer had to back out at the last minute, I reached out to Big Board Charcuterie and not only did they come to the rescue, but they were simply amazing. The food, the professionalism of the staff, their set up, all of it was top tier. Since that day, I have used Big Board Charcuterie for many events and they continue to impress me. I would definitely recommend Big Board Charcuterie.

The displays are always impressive and the flavors are always there to back up the presentations.

Andy and his team always deliver fabulous food and over the top customer service! We had Big Boards do our daughter’s engagement party back in April of 2022 at the Oakland Park Town Hall. Andy listened to our needs and requests and created a wonderful smorgasbord for our guests! He is definitely a top recommendation when anyone asks for a catering team to make their event a success!

Andy and his team at Big Boards Catering has blessed many of our events with his creativity and ability to theme food, decor and fun. The food is always the best and presentation is amazing. His team is professional and always ready to help and serve. I would highly recommend them for any and every event.

All the wow without any worry. The team is always superb-delivers exceptional service, amazing food and no hassle set up and clean up. They have made our family celebrations next level (weddings, birthdays and services). When we we need an event catered-they are always my first choice. They have become family.

Andy at Big Boards is the best catering service in Clermont and all of Lake County, FL. My team visited the area for a Christmas party in December and I couldn’t believe how delicious the food was. I asked Billy Harper of Empowered Electrical “Who made all of this? This is some of the best food I’ve ever had” he let me know it was Andy and his team. We love Andy so much that he’s flying out to us and catering for my brother and sister-in-law in August. If you’re looking for a white glove service from a world class team, it makes zero sense to go anywhere else. Andy and the Big Boards team will provide a magical experience. 10/10!! 🇺🇸🔥

Big Boards Catering made my niece’s bridal shower absolutely unforgettable! Andy and his crew were phenomenal from start to finish. The attention to detail was incredible, and Andy was such a great communicator throughout the entire process—he truly overdelivered and exceeded all of my expectations. The food was outstanding. The deviled eggs were a huge hit, and the shrimp and grits were hands down the best we’ve ever had & everyone is still talking about them! Everything was beautifully presented and perfectly executed. I’m so grateful for the experience and will definitely be working with Andy again in the future. Highly, highly recommend! Photos to come!

Working with Big Boards Catering is always an excellent experience, the food is incredible and the service is top tier! We’ll always recommend them.

Big Boards has the most beautiful presentations of savory cuisine ! They cater from small groups to large reunions! We have gone to several events from Breakfasts to dinners. Big Boards is always professional with a variety of dishes that are so delicious! They have great team work and are a special addition to every event !

Andy and his crew absolutely knocked it out of the park catering my cousin’s bridal shower at our home. From start to finish, everything was seamless. The food was exceptional—beautifully presented and even better tasting (guests are still talking about it). Every detail felt thoughtful and elevated the entire event. The service was just as impressive. Andy and his team were professional, attentive, and made everything feel effortless on our end. They truly went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly so we could actually enjoy the day. I would recommend Andy to anyone without hesitation and will definitely be using him again for future events. Five stars all the way!

I just have to say—Andy absolutely knocked it out of the park. The food was incredible from start to finish, but the shrimp and grits were on another level. Hands down the best shrimp I’ve ever had—perfectly cooked, flavorful, and just melt-in-your-mouth good. You can tell a lot of care and skill went into every bite. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending this to everyone I know!

Such a great catering company! If you want class paired with absolutely delicious food, this is the one. Everything was beautifully done and tasted even better than it looked!!

Food was delicious, the set up was beautiful, and the staff was incredible!! 🙂

Shrimp and grits were incredible!! The service is amazing. I’ve never been unsatisfied.!! We have hired Andy three times now and every time it’s absolutely perfect!! High quality and definitely recommend them!

We used Big Boards for our wedding shower in Winter Garden this past August, and they were fantastic! The food was delicious, especially the charcuterie board and cannolis 😉, which were a huge hit with our guests. The display was beautifully set up, and everything was handled so professionally. They truly made the day special. Highly recommend!

Big Boards Catering made celebrating my special event an enchanting evening, and my guest are still raving about the food and excellent service.

We highly recommend Andy and his team for any event. We were fortunate enough to have him cater our wedding last October in Howie in The Hills. The food we chose was amazing: Entrees *Pulled pork and Mac and cheese *Chili Glazed Meatballs with Yukon gold mash potatoes Sides *green beans with almonds *Chili Rice and Beans We plan on using him for our other events and can’t recommend Big Boards Catering enough.

Have attended several events where Big Boards Catering provided the food. It's always been excellent food and excellent service! I've been impressed with their attention to detail in how they set up and display the food as well as break down and clean up!

Andy and his team are awesome! I will use Big Boards again in a heartbeat. My guests were so impressed with not only the presentation but the food itself was outstanding! Big Boards Catering is an absolute must use ... again and again!

We have used big boards several times as well as been at events they have catered. Everything is always wonderful. We highly recommend them!

We’ve used Andy and staff for about 3 events and they have been amazing. Food has been delicious and when accompanied with their amazing service, they are perfect for any event!

Big Boards Catering never disappoints! The food is always absolutely amazing and the teams smiles are an added bonus. Fresh, flavorful, and a hit no matter the size of the gathering. I have attended small get-togethers and some large events they catered and they consistently deliver quality and professionalism. What truly sets them apart is the heart behind the business. Andy is incredibly kind and generous, not only to his clients, but also to his team. My daughter works for him, and it means so much knowing she’s part of a company that genuinely cares about its employees. If you’re looking for catering that goes above and beyond, Big Boards Catering is the way to go!

Goodbye party for ED. Wonderful variety and amount of food for staff party (Feb 2026). Everyone was raving about the food.

Andy and his team put together an amazing menu for my son's Wedding Rehersal dinner at our home. What made it even better was we did it all in under 2 weeks! Andy reassured me it would all be perfect and it absolutely was! The food was delicious and his team did all the work...including the clean up!!

Wow!! Thats really the best way to describe Big Boards!! They have catered many events for one of the non profits I am a part of as well as multiple events around central Florida that we have attended....They knock it out of the park everytime!! They are extremely prompt, professional, and the owners go above and beyond for each client!! Small dinner party at home call them!! Office party for 50 people call them! Big corporate event for 300 people and food allergies CALL them!! I cannot reccomend Andy and his crew enough!!!

Delicious food and amazing elevated experience. Owners are extremely personable and always engaging at events. Definitely next level for catering.

Big Boards has been a go-to for my husband and me from Day 1, and we will continue to have them cater our yearly New Years Day event (wouldn't consider any other caterer....ever!). Andy and his team always go the extra mile and bring our events to another level. We have never been disappointed in the quality of the food and service we receive, and we so appreciate the way Big Boards brings that WOW factor! Highly recommend!!!

Every year my husband and I host a Christmas party for our staff of about 75-100 people. Big Boards has been catering this event for the last 4 years. They are always a joy to work with and food is always consistent and DELICIOUS. You must try their deviled eggs! We plan to continue to use their services for our Christmas party and any other events that come up.

I’ve used Big Boards Catering for several events, and they’ve been exceptional every time. They always arrive with a positive attitude, serve delicious food, and truly go above and beyond to ensure everything aligns perfectly with your event’s theme. Last December, our downtown Orlando office building turned 100 years old. They planned a “100-Year Old Christmas” party for me, and it was outstanding. They exceeded all expectations. If you’re looking for someone to handle your event, Andy and his team are a fantastic choice. They absolutely will not disappoint.

Andy and his team were phenomenal for our wedding this past January at Villa Festa in Deland FL. The food was amazing and the presentation was stunning. Andy’s attention to detail is second to none. Highly recommend for any event!

Big Boards Catering is incredible! Great Service, Incredible Food, Highest Communication Ever! Total knowledge, diverse menu and flexible with all options, All around 5x5 stars! Thank you Andy and Teresa!

Big Boards has the best food catered to your preference and service is excellent. Will be using them at our next event

We have had Andy cater three events and he is a genuinely good person with great food and service! Highly recommend!

I’ve had Big Boards Catering multiple times through our BNI group, and it’s something I genuinely look forward to. You can tell he really cares because everything is always fresh, creative, and put together with intention. It’s never your typical boring spread. Highly recommend.

I’ve have several great experiences working with Big Board Catering. The professionalism, creativity, and fun they bring to every function is unmatched! Looking forward to next time!
