We got married the weekend of June 14th, 2025, at Key Largo Lighthouse – Coral Beach. Our journey to our weekend hit some bumps along the way and we must say – Lisa and Ump stepped right up, embraced us in open arms and with the best of hugs that only come from true love and passion for what they do! From our first phone call to our 3+ hour “quick meet and greet’, to our wedding weekend was just the highlight and spark back into our celebration. When we initially started planning, we had a different caterer. 7 months in, we had no kind of menu, no communication and just felt unheard and unseen. Then the best thing happened! We got introduced to LJ’s Catering. ONE PHONE CALL! That’s all it took! 20 minutes of a late evening, and we were over the moon! The spark was back into our celebration. We had the menus pretty much decided – everything came together in just mere minutes! The hard part was, watching all the videos of food that were being sent to us that night and not being able to eat everything right then and there. The constant communication, the constant out pouring of love from LJs truly shined. Finally, our celebration time came! We started off the weekend with the Pig Roast BBQ – And brisket! Must have LJ’s Brisket! Saturday, we had red snapper, jerk chicken and much more! Sunday morning was the perfect relax, chill, unwind and Brunch! Not only did their love shine through for us, the couple – but it flowed to every one of our guests! Everyone to this day continues to talk about the food, and LJs! Everything was truly amazing! In the moment, everything is flying, and time loses itself – however Lisa and Ump of course were watching and ensuring that we took the moment to sit down and eat! “Don’t try to ignore them, it won’t happen!” We can’t say enough nice things about LJ’s and their staff. We truly feel like they’re now a part of our family! Truly a vendor to choose - watch as they continue to shine! With much love - Brent & Donnie

Lisa and Ump were absolutely incredible to work with. With less than 30 days before our wedding, I decided to switch to their company for plated meals, and they made the transition seamless. Their professionalism, flexibility, and attention to detail were outstanding. The food was exceptional, perfectly prepared, and served warm, which is impressive for an outdoor wedding. Their entire team was wonderful, organized, and provided excellent service throughout the evening. Our guests couldn’t stop complimenting both the food and the staff. If you have the opportunity to hire them, do it. You won’t be disappointed.

First and foremost, the food was delicious!! I never expect food at a wedding to be really good, but LJ and Umphrey proved me wrong! My guests are still complimenting us on our wedding reception dinner and by far the BEST coconut cake I've ever had. The service was perfect and it felt like we working with friends we've known for years. Thank you LJ and Umphrey!!

The night couldn’t have gone more smoothly, Lisa and Umphrey are amazing at what they do. They decorated the place so nicely, and the food was soooo delicious! From the appetizers, to the oyster bar, to the paella, everything came out so good. I couldn’t be happier with how the evening went and it all because of them!

From our initial meeting, to the pre-event taste test, through the entire wedding reception, LJ's Events was absolutely fantastic! There is nothing they cannot do - they brought chairs for the wedding, tables, linens, cutlery and helped us decorate. The staff are all polite and personable. The paella being prepared on the patio during cocktail hour stimulated the senses and anticipation of what was an excellent dinner. The cost for everything they do is very reasonable. You absolutely cannot go wrong with LJ's Events!

LJ's catered for our wedding reception. I had a wonderful experience with them from start to finish. The owners are very friendly and responsive. Our food was absolutely amazing! The bartenders also did an excellent job - they were happy to make our chosen his/her signature cocktails, which were a big hit. The owners made sure to stop by to congratulate my husband and I, gave us a hug along with well-wishes, and we all took a photo together at the end of the night - they are so sweet! I loved working with this team and could not recommend them enough! Thank you again for all of your help. :)

LJ’s was prompt in setting up, friendly to guests and easy to get in touch with and receive a response . Food was delicious .

LJs catered our daughter's wedding in June 2023. Lisa offered great suggestions and was very responsive to anything we requested. The food was fabulous, the decor was beautiful, and the attention to detail was amazing. This allowed us to relax and enjoy the day. At the end of the evening, the bride & groom said "we wouldn't have changed a thing". LJs cared for us like family and I highly recommend them. The price was very reasonable.

I could not have been happier with the bar service provided for our wedding! Absolutely outstanding job!! I highly recommend. Thank you!

I had the best services using LJs for food and full bar package. The food, bartending, and drinks was absolutely amazing and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. If I could give them ten stars I would. Autumn & Mark Gross married 12/7/21
