Top Full-Service Catering in Tampa: A Fresh Connection Featured in Tampa Style Magazine 🎉

A Fresh Connection Catering is honored to be recognized alongside some of the region’s most respected names in hospitality.

We’re thrilled to announce some exciting news — A Fresh Connection Catering has been featured in Tampa Style Magazine as one of the top full-service catering companies in the Tampa Bay area! 🎊

This feature, published in October 2025, names us among six standout caterers across Tampa, Clearwater, and St. Petersburg. It’s a major moment for our team and a milestone in our ongoing growth across the region. We’ve proudly served the  St. Pete and Clearwater communities for years, and now, this recognition marks a powerful expansion of our visibility across the bay into Tampa — a community we’ve been excited to grow with.

What This Recognition Means to Us 📰

Being listed in Tampa Style Magazine’s editorial roundup, “The Best Full-Service Caterers for Your Tampa Events,” is more than a marketing win — it’s a reflection of our team’s commitment to excellence.

This wasn’t a paid placement. We were included as part of a curated editorial piece, and that carries weight. To be highlighted alongside long-established catering names in the region is not only validating, but also a strong signal that our brand is gaining trust and relevance in the Tampa event scene.

For a business like ours — rooted in hospitality, creativity, and consistency — it’s especially meaningful to be recognized not just for food, but for full-service catering: a complete event experience.

🏆 “A Fresh Connection offers full-service catering services in the Tampa Bay area… with fresh and high-quality ingredients, including locally and seasonally sourced foods.” — Tampa Style Magazine

We focus on using high-quality, locally and seasonally sourced ingredients, with a kitchen team that understands how to build bold flavor and beautiful plates. Every dish is crafted to match the tone of the event — whether elegant, casual, contemporary, or traditional.

Crossing the Bridge: Building Our Presence in Tampa 🌆

We’ve always been proud of our reputation in St. Pete, where we’ve become a trusted name for both private and corporate events. But over the past few years, we’ve seen an exciting shift — more and more of our clients are finding us from Tampa.

That’s why this feature is such a key moment. It highlights what we’ve known internally for a while: we’re becoming a trusted name across the entire Tampa Bay area.

Here are just a few ways we’ve been serving the Tampa community:

• Corporate luncheons and annual galas in downtown Tampa

• Weddings at iconic venues like The Orlo and Tampa River Center

• Holiday parties and nonprofit fundraisers throughout Hillsborough County

• Venue partnerships that have expanded our reach and versatility

  
  

We’re not just stepping into Tampa — we’re investing in it.
