Unique menu to compliment your special day

Maya was kind and assisted with picking the perfect menu for a light but satisfying luncheon after the funeral. The options Maya created were unique and mouthwatering, making it difficult to choose. I appreciated that she kept me within budget while still providing the look, feel, and quality we desired.

The beef tenderloin with caramelized onions sliders and veggie sliders were the most popular, with the amazing sauces on both sliders receiving high praise. The rolls used were of perfect consistency—neither mushy nor too hard, perfectly sustaining the contents of the sandwich. My only suggestion would be to have food tent cards describing each sandwich.

The selection on the fruit platter was amazing. We ordered plenty for the number of guests we had, but it was so good that several trips were made.

The salad was crisp, and the dressings had great ingredients.

Maya collaborates with Bent Fork Bakery, and we chose a half chocolate, half white cake which was incredible.

Working with Maya was a great experience and her food is delicious. I would highly recommend and use again.

Hire Maya and BellaRu Catering

Maya and her team are amazing. The food was outstanding. Everyone is raving about it. Maya worked with what we wanted in our budget. She got me from day 1 and was an absolute joy the whole time. She and her team are the reason my wedding day was such a joy. All I had to do was put on a dress. She did everything else and all my guests are raving about the wedding.
