​Under owner William Rinim's guidance, A Taste of Excellence Catering's award-winning service is in high demand among clientele locally, from brides-to-be to large corporate customers.

Based in Strongsville, Ohio, emphasizing locally sourced and regionally inspired cuisine sets the business apart from more mainstream competitors. Not only that, the same commitment allows A Taste of Excellence to deliver what it calls a fresher, tastier product while simultaneously creating less environmental impact and supporting the wider local economy.

William Rini explains, "Local foods create community. Knowing where your food comes from connects you to the people who raised, grew or produced it."

In a recent interview with Crain's Cleveland Business, the area's leading business publication, Rini points out that people are becoming better educated about food and drink. "They know their wines, fine food and look for more locally produced products," he notes.

Rini continues, explaining, "At A Taste of Excellence, we buy Ohio Proud beef and serve Ohio City Pasta, Lucky Penny Creamery products, and Mitchell's Ice Cream. Whatever we can source locally, we use."

Specialties include a classically Ohioan clambake, featuring local clams and staying true to the region. Offered alongside a pig roast, executive cookout, summer's day picnic, and country barbecue-themed menu, many of A Taste of Excellence's cuisine options are thoughtfully tailored to the area.

It's this level of attention to detail which has won the business a coveted 2018 WeddingWire Couples' Choice Award. Recognizing the top five percent of local wedding caterers and professionals, the awards identify local businesses which have demonstrated excellence in quality, service, and professionalism. Results are determined by reviews from over a million WeddingWire users.

"It's a great accolade," says Rini of the award. "It also further demonstrates our commitment to representing the local area and supporting the local economy. Our whole team is incredibly proud."

Furthermore, Rini and his team's commitment to the local area extends beyond just produce. The business has developed close working relationships with local venues such as Cleveland's Grand City Hall Rotunda, the Old Courthouse, Jilbert Winery, and Hale Farm & Village. This allows the company to host events at some of the area's most prestigious and in-demand locations.

Reflecting on operations at A Taste of Excellence, and of their commitment to the local area, Rini finishes by saying, "We're here to deliver quality, often by dealing with local producers and vendors, and our clientele certainly seem to appreciate that. What's more, by dealing with local vendors we can often save our customers money at the same time. It's a win-win situation."
