Paulette, from LM Catering, was highly commended for her warm and genuine approach, going above and beyond to ensure couples were happy.

Tasty and Unique

We had our wedding at Lacuna Lofts, which meant we had the absolute pleasure of having LM Catering as our wedding caterer. We had so many friends and family members compliment the dinner and dessert table, saying that this was “actually delicious wedding food”! We had a number of dietary restrictions, and LM’s vast menu and options made it so easy to accommodate everyone’s needs while also making everything taste DELICIOUS! Everything was presented beautifully, and we particularly loved that the sides were served family-style, which we hadn’t seen at many weddings before. We made some changes to our picks numerous times, and Tania was so accommodating in making any and all changes we requested! Our dessert table and yummy pretzel late night snacks were huge hits with our guests, and being able to get everything – dinner, dessert, and snacks – from one vendor was so seamless. We would highly recommend LM to anyone looking for a tasty, fun wedding caterer!

Wonderful experience!

Lesley R. and Mary K. of LM Catering & Events were critical in making our wedding the perfect day. From the very first meeting at the venue tour, we knew we were in good hands. They were flexible and took our concerns and requests seriously. Lesley and Mary worked seamlessly with our day-of planner and vendors. On the day of our wedding, the LM Staff was professional and courteous. Not to mention the food was incredible!

Best wedding food we’ve ever had

We had to use LM based on our venue but we’d hire them again in a heartbeat.
Everyone knows wedding food can be subpar but this food was amazing. We would order it if we went to a restaurant. Everyone raved about the roasted chicken; the hanger steak was cooked to a perfect medium/medium rare.
Perfect!
