    Russo’s is Phenomenal

    I have nothing but great things to say. The staff was so easy to work with. Brenna and Courtney met with me many times to ensure that every detail of my wedding day was exactly how I wanted it! They were so patient with me and had so many good recommendations for linens, glassware, how to set up the room, etc!! We had our reception at Piazza Messina, and I’m still in awe of how beautiful it was! The food is top notch and reasonably priced. We are still getting compliments on the menu. We recommend Russo’s to everyone we encounter that is planning some sort of party/ wedding!

    Unbelievable night!

    Mark Russo, Tony Walsh, AND the staff deserve 10 stars if it were possible! We found out, during the ceremony, that the roads to the venue (a NON-Russo's venue) for my sister's wedding reception were flooded and it looked like the reception needed to be cancelled. How horrible for my sister and my new brother-in-law. HOWEVER, Mark and Tony stepped up and were able to put together a great reception for around 170 people with great food in only a few hours notice!! The turnaround from not having a reception at all, to having great food, bartenders, friendly staff, and great atmosphere was truly unbelievable. Huge thank you to Tony and Mark. You guys stepped up and my family will be talking about this unforgettable night forever.

    Super Delicious!

    Russo’s catering was the best thing to happen to our wedding! Our main goal was for people to leave full and satisfied with dinner and mission accomplished! The stations buffet went above our expectations and provided everyone with options for meals, including those with most dietary restrictions. We introduced people to things they might not normally try and we had so so many compliments on the food! I wish they could cater my everyday life with how delicious everything was. They also went above and beyond to provide us with specific dessert requests we had since we did not want cake and they turned out just as amazing. I couldn’t be happier we got to work with Russo’s for our wedding day!

    Great Service

    Russo's catering did a phenomenal job with our wedding! Our coordinator, Courtney, was very responsive and listened to what we wanted. She knew us by name and where our wedding was among all of her other clients. The food was amazing! We did the stations options with sliders, stir fry, and mac & cheese. The cake was so pretty and exactly what we wanted. They provided the linens, plates, silverware, non-alcohol drinks, and even set up the table rentals for us. They were also the best value among the others we considered in the St. Louis area.

    Would definitely recommend!

    The Russo's staff the day of our wedding were all SO great! We had to wait in the kitchen for the ceremony, and as I was the last to go out, the staff made sure my dress was laying properly before I went out, which was so sweet. They also were helpful in making sure the room looked great. And all the guests loved the food! I especially loved that they offer dessert as included in the bridal package. We did the token cake & dessert bar, which was so fun! I also appreciated they they were able to get gray tablecloths for us at a good price. Would definitely recommend!

    From the the food to the service to the cake decoration - everything was superb! We had a little miscommunication on when the tablecloths were to arrive and the owner actually showed up early with them for us so we could finish setting up for the night. Received many compliments on the food and on the friendliness of the staff. Highly recommend Russos!

    We used Russo's Catering to cater the food at our 5/6/17 wedding. We had a great experience with this company! Per a recommendation from our venue, The Thaxton, we set up a tasting session and their food was so delicious. We were able to taste several options for each course of our wedding dinner and were able to make informed selections. We dealt with Toni Callas during the entire planning process and she was nice and very responsive to any questions. We were able to talk through our plan for the day including butlered appetizers during out cocktail hour, our buffet style wedding dinner, and all setup and visualizations. Toni was very helpful and made wonderful suggestions. The food arrived on time and was amazing on the day, we had SO many positive comments from our guests. The staff during our event were dressed nicely and were very accommodating and helpful. Everything was set up exactly to our plan. We could not be more happy with our experience and would highly recommend Russo's for any event catering.

    We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Russo's! There are many places to spend a great deal more on your event but it is not necessary! We had a very nice event and thank them for their flexibility, support, follow up and some great food!!

    Russo's Catering was a preferred vendor at so many reception venues, and after looking at many options, we decided to use their venue Spazios. We received so many compliments from guests at how great the food was, how beautiful the reception was, and how great of a time they had. They were very flexible and have lots of great advice - that's what they do so utilize them! Well beyond my expectations!

    We had a fantastic experience with Russo's & Spazio's. Brenna was fantastic to work with, I miss her now that our wedding is over! Our food was phenomenal, beautifully presented, and my gluten allergy was handled perfectly. Our Wedding Cake was stunning, exactly as I had imagined. The Russo family is wonderful and that shows in their business dealings! Wholeheartedly suggest everyone working with Russo's catering and just going to the source with Brenna at Spazios. She's part of our family now!

    Russo's Catering was great to work with! Emily was awesome to correspond and plan our wedding with. She was extremely helpful answering any questions or concerns we had throughout the planning process. Emily went above and beyond to make sure every detail was fulfilled and even had the venue add in touches to make our reception more complete! We couldn't be more satisfied! We still have guests talking about the amazing food and service from our wedding night! Very satisfied and would recommend Russo's Catering to anyone who asks.

    Courtney was our contact for Russo's and what a dream she was! She was always so friendly and accommodating whether at a tasting, a wedding show, or our consultation. She is ever the professional and always answered our questions promptly and reminded me to do things I never would have even considered in wedding planning. We felt that our options with Russo's were vast within our budget and they easily put together a package that included everything we could ever want. The food was DELICIOUS, people are still talking about it. Our cake was absolutely beautiful, we had 4 different flavors (one for each tier) and each was better than the last. Russo's happened to be the required caterer for my venue but in hindsight we would have chosen them a million times over. From the bar to the wait staff no one could have been more friendly or helpful. There was a contract mix-up and last call was called early, but once reviewing the contract it was immediately reversed without even a second mention. A+ service, A+ food.

    Words cannot express our gratitude to Russo’s catering for their amazing work - in fact without them our wedding reception would not turn out so beautiful!! We are extremely happy that we went with Russo’s for setting up the reception room and preparing the food and desserts. The people of Russo’s are absolutely wonderful, from the beginning, to even after your wedding day! Not only are they professional and experienced, but they are more than willing to work with you on your budget. We worked with Courtney as our coordinator for the administrative side including pricing, chair covers, colors, type of food and she was phenomenal!! She was professional, accessible and always going above and beyond to make sure everything was on track. Russo’s is one big team and every person involved with your reception will answer all of your questions. As a company Russo’s organizes a tasting reception that we strongly recommend going to. It is fun and the food is great. To our most pleasant surprise, the actual food at the reception was even better! We opted for a dessert selection self-service bar instead of the cake and we are still hearing compliments about the miniature sweets. They even decorated the buffet and dessert table elegantly while matching our colors! The execution of every detail we planned was flawless and the wedding reception went better than we can ever have expected!! Everyone was raving all night about how good the food was and some of the best they have had at any wedding or party. During the reception, their service staff was very professional and inconspicuous. What we love about Russo’s is that they will do all of your rentals and food, and they have great connections with other vendors. I highly recommend them for your wedding day or any other event, because they will make your day perfect! Thank you everyone in Russo’s!!

    We chose Russo's Catering from the preferred vendors list at our wedding venue. We were interested in doing a stations buffets, as opposed to a traditional buffet, and Russo's had excellent options. Courtney was the contact we worked with. We were able to meet her face-to-face at one of Russo's tastings, and she was excited to meet with us in person shortly after. She was friendly, flexible, and very easy to work with. She was always excited to see us and responded quickly to any questions we had. The reasonable price was a factor in our decision. Courtney even arranged to turn one of our stations into passed appetizers so that we could stick to our budget. My brother, one of our groomsmen, said the next day, "The mini beef wellington appetizer was the best part of the whole day. I almost cried." Our guests raved about the food. The Italian Station (especially the tortellini) and Diner Station provided a variety that matched mine and my husband's personalities and gave our guests options to choose from. We were able to choose four different flavors for the four tiers of our cake, and not only did it look exactly as we pictured it, it was delicious! My husband loves strawberry shortcake, so Courtney suggested mini-strawberry shortcakes as an additional dessert. They were in little cups with tiny forks and were absolutely adorable and scrumptious! We went in for the budget and came out with the most delicious food we've ever had at a wedding, and we have very high standards.

    My wife and I hired Russo's Catering to cater our wedding in early November. It was fantastic! Toni was very helpful in the early stages of planning and very responsive throughout the whole process. We heard from so many of our guests that the food was phenomenal and some of the best they've had at a wedding reception. The staff that worked the reception were there early setting up and were a breeze to work with. They made sure everything was where it was supposed to be and it made the entire evening even easier not having to worry about things. They paid extra special attention to my wife and I at the head table, making sure we always had water/champagne/food or whatever else we needed. I highly recommend Russo's for your event!

    Russo's was awesome to work with for our wedding! Toni always got back to me on any of the million questions I asked her and the day of staff was awesome! A lot of the guests mentioned how great the food was too! I can't thank Russo's enough for helping make our special day one we will never forget. Thanks again! :)

    The best, upgrade the beef to the sirloin of beef tenderloin and you wont be sorry. We used them for our wedding on 6/20/15 . Everyone is still raving about the food, it was delicious. The staff was awesome , everywhere you looked there was someone available to help you . The head waitress lady knew what i needed before i asked she was like my personal assistant all night and the bartenders were awesome. After the reception they packed up the extra food for us to take home, although there wasn't much left :)
    I also got my cake from them , chocolate with chocolate ganache filling and white cake with strawberry , it was the bomb!
    LOVE THIS CATERER and THE CITY MUSEUM

    We had our reception at Spazio Westport and Russos Catering was our only option for food. It turns out it was the only option we needed. The food was fantastic and everyone who we talked to RAVED about our food. Definitely a great choice!

    My husband and I had our wedding reception at Spazio Westport on October 18, 2014. Our experience was phenomenal. Mark Russo and Emily Otto were extremely helpful throughout the entire process. Erick the chef at Spazio worked hard on preparing the food for our family style reception exactly the way we requested it.

    We are still receiving compliments on how lovely the garden room and bistro were set up as well as how delicious the food was. Larren and Nikki did a great job on the presentation of the set up as well as the food. Our cake was done by Russo's and it looked and tasted exceptional. We will recommend Spazio and Russo's Catering to anyone we know.

    Thank you, to everyone for your hard work.
