Great food and great service

TLDR: They were easily one of the best vendors we hired for our wedding and if you are thinking about it, just go ahead and do it.

We had our wedding at The Sablewood. One of our top priorities for vendors was catering, as delicious food (especially cocktail hour) was really important to us. Nicole’s delivered on that and then some. Everyone we talked to after the wedding could not stop talking about the cocktail hour food and each person had their own favorite. My mother loved the sweet potato/black bean quesadillas, my husband’s mother raved about the hazelnut chicken and at least three people could not get enough of the sliced tenderloin on crostini. And when choosing dinner options, multiple guests said it was so difficult to choose because all options sounded so good.

But Nicole’s is so much more than fantastic food. Their catering team is professional and everyone is so amazing at their job. Throughout the planning process, Kate from Nicole’s was so responsive to every email that we sent planning the cocktail hour and reception menu and put me at ease with a document that had everything detailed out down along with a timeline. On the day of our wedding, Nicole’s provided catered sandwiches and drinks to both wedding parties for lunch. As my husband and I recessed down the aisle after the ceremony, there was Nicole’s with our signature drinks in hand for us! Nicole’s assigned us a captain for the wedding day whose focus is to make sure you (the wedding couple) eat and drink as much as you want. Tina was amazing and she waited on us and our families the entire night. My husband and I took 20 minutes in the bridal suite by ourselves before cocktail hour and Nicole’s brought up a massive tray of multiple items of every passed bite we chose as well as samplings of every other cocktail hour station we had. I honestly would have stayed up there eating our cocktail hour food and drinking our signature drinks, it was that good. During the reception, our captain Tina stopped by our table multiple times to make sure we never had an empty drink or had to wait in line. We even got a third meal option to try all three of our dinner meals. Afterwards, I found out Tina was also making sure that our families had drinks as well. The dinner service ran smoothly and they had the top tier of our cake wrapped and ready to go at the end of the night. If you are looking to wow your guests with amazing food and be taken care of by a catering team who are amazing at their job and knows what they are doing, you need to hire Nicole’s Catering. You will be so glad you did.

10/10! Best caterer

Nicole's was truly a highlight of our wedding. Their highly professional team has the wedding timeline down with incredible precision and they were so wonderful to work with. The team went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of and well fed day of as well! We still have guests telling us that it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding.

Our favorite vendor of all!

You MUST book Nicole's for your wedding! Nicole's is way more than a catering company. To start, the food is delicious and we received rave reviews from all the guests on all meals including the vegan and vegetarian options. But that's just the start. We get emotional just writing this review because of how helpful and amazing the Nicole's staff was on our wedding day. It was POURING rain and the staff made sure I (the bride) stayed completely dry. They surrounded me with umbrellas as I made my entrance and gave me a pep talk that I'll never forget. They even wiped down my feet with towels before my first dance so I wouldn't slip. They made me, my husband and our immediate family feel fully supported throughout the entire day in a way we did not expect a catering company to do. Special shout out to Sarah, Katie, Madi and Emily. It was also a pleasure working with Kate throughout the process. Book them, you won't regret it!
