Great service

Lancer catering did a great job for our wedding at Como Lakeside Pavillion. Lyndsey was easy and fun to work with. On the day of everything was like we talked about and the food and drinks were great. All the staff there was so wonderful. I would recommend them to anyone!

Awesome Food, Aesome Staff

We used the location at the Phoenix Zoo for our wedding. The food was amazing. We had a tasting with them at a complimentary event at the zoo and fell in love with everything they had the offer.

The day of the wedding, they had everything set up with no help needed from me. In fact, they could have gone the whole event without me noticing all of the setup and takedown they were doing. True professionals and good at their jobs!

We had an amazing menu that included a bruschetta trio (awesome!), flank steak and a chicken breast, mushroom cavatapi, toasted potatoes, a veggie medley. Everything was phenomenal. So many comments from our guests about the quality of the food!

The food was beyond wonderful. They were able to accommodate my guests with food allergies. The staff were wonderful to work with, especially Kaitlin who really went above and beyond to make our day special. I have nothing but glowingly positive things to say.

Lancer catering did a phenomenal job at catering our wedding in June 2018 at Woodland Park Zoo from the initial planning meeting to the final event. I’ll admit, I am not the easiest person to work with and it was truly a pleasure to work with Lancer Catering. From the start, they were able to answer my questions, provide their own recommendations, and further provide detailed timelines and information that helped the big day go a lot smoother than anticipated. Their food was absolutely delicious, both on the tasting and the actual event. I received so many compliments from my guests that my wedding was one of the best weddings they have been to and I couldn’t have pulled it off without Lancer Catering. I highly recommend Lancer Catering at Woodland Park Zoo for any event, including a wedding as you will not be disappointed! I cannot say enough positive things about Lancer Catering.

Cheron with Lancer catering was the most amazing person to work with. Having never planned a wedding before and trying to understand all that I needed, she was so helpful and accommodating. She always responded very promptly to any emails/calls with questions, concerns, etc. This food was literally "melt in your mouth" AMAZING! Our guests are still talking about it and it was a definite hit at our wedding. I am so glad I worked with Lancer. It was certainly worth every penny! Thank you, Cheron!!

My daughter and son-in-law celebrated there blessed wedding party at Keller Golf Course this passed Fall and it was a smashing success! The new clubhouse at Keller is truly a diamond in the Metro East Community. Our wedding party included 270 participants. And everyone had a great time. We were served steak, chicken, walleye, vegetarian dish and chicken drummies by the very capable Lancer Staff. The food was Fabulous. Later in the evening we treated are guest to pizza ( yum!). We used the patio at Keller for a cigar bar and lawn game area. The fireplace room was used for hors d'oevures and the beverage bar. The Ballroom, of course, was used for dinner and dancing. I want to give a special Thank you to Lindsey at Keller for all of her help, ideas, suggestion and enthusiasm for My daughters very, very special day. All expectations were meet and then some!!!

I would 100% recommend the Como Zoo to anyone getting married! Mindy, who we worked with ahead of time was outstanding, more than flexible and helped guide us through an unknown situation. The night of the wedding, we had a FABULOUS evening! All of our guests did as well. There was compliment after compliment about the venue and how beautiful everything was; from the ceremony to the reception. Thank you so much to you and the entire Como staff for putting on such an unforgettable event! I am so glad we went with everything that we did. The food, location and staff were all amazing. We even had a penguin!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I have enjoyed the food from Lancers on many occasions and find their eager staff so helpful and accommodating. They serve both Zoos, Science Museum, and several golf courses in the area, including Keller in Maplewood. Be very confident that they will deliver the best.
