Great experience! Delicious food!

We met with three other caterers before coming across LMR Catering, and we’re so glad we did! Up until meeting LMR, we’d been under impressed by other catering companies, however, when we went for our tasting with LMR, every single item we tried was delicious. We had no trouble deciding that we wanted LMR Catering to cater our wedding, and they did a wonderful job. Vanessa was easy to work with throughout the process and the food was hot, and delicious on the big day. The buffet line attendants were more than professional and stepped in to help move the guests’ tables into their proper places after the ceremony, which we had been forced to move inside, was finished. We opted to provide our own drinks but use LMR bartending services, and the bartenders were great to work with.

Best food ever!

We weren't able to do any tastings so we went into it fully trusting reviews. Seriously some of the best food we've had at a wedding. Class act service and great communication the whole time!

Great food and staff!

LMR staff and team did an amazing job catering my wedding! Not only was the food delicious, but they were very accommodating and flexible during the planning process. During the wedding, the servers and bartenders went above and beyond, even breaking down the head table so that we could open up the area for dancing. Not only that, one of the servers held back our late night snack so that I would be able to enjoy some! We were very impressed with their level of detail and professionalism and would recommend to anyone planning a wedding!

Amazing!!!

Typically not big on writing reviews but this one deserves it! Food was even better at event than the tasting. Guests said we had the best wedding food they have ever had. Even better than one wedding that cost $50 a plate. Helpings were large and enough food for guests to go back for seconds. Staff was super helpful with setup and tear down. Price was great and worth every penny. Worry free and overall a great experience! Would recommend to anyone.

Delicious Dinner and Excellent Clean-up!

We hired our bartenders and catering staff/food through LMR for our wedding and couldn’t be happier. The food was delicious, the drinks were cold, and the staff was so great to work with! Highly recommend!

Wonderful food and excellent service!! It just couldn’t have been better! The food was delicious (carved roast beef , marinated chicken breast, vegetable penne, ravioli Florentine with twice baked potatoes, green bean almondine, garden salad and rolls, and more!). We received sooo many compliments on the food and the servers were wonderful and engaging! Excellent choice for our wedding reception!!!

Working with Little Miami Catering for our wedding was excellent. From the beginning they were more responsive than any other vendor I had reached out to. They were willing to customize a menu for our special day at a lower price than most. Upon taste testing, I had made a few suggestions and the day of the wedding those suggestions were executed. I received several compliments from my guests on the potatoes and chicken and the appetizer presentation was beautiful. Thank you so much for helping to make our day perfect!
