Mai Oui Wedding Catering

Karen was excellent to work with and I would recommend that you use Mai Oui for your wedding. A few days before our wedding, we reached out to her about a few concerns and she responded within 24 hours and assured us that we would have a great experience and personally took charge of managing the event, which we appreciated.


The day of the event was executed perfectly, her staff worked tirelessly to make sure that guests were fed and worked in the background to make sure that there were no hiccups. Our guests really enjoyed the food and dietary needs were attended to! If you’re looking for a great experience for your wedding, I highly recommend hiring Mai Oui!

Best Catering in Jacksonville/St. Augustine!

We worked with Mai Oui for our wedding reception in November 2025 and were blown away by their delicious food and wonderful service. From the initial outreach to our curated tasting to the beautiful event itself, their team was professional and organized. Despite their extremely extensive list of food options, we asked the team to make a special hor d'oeuvre and not only were they accommodating enough to make it, they executed perfectly. It made our day that much more special! The donut flambé station was a huge hit with our guests! Thank you Sophie and the Mai Oui team for helping to make our wedding the best day ever!

Mai Oui provided a full-service menu for our daughter's wedding of 60 people at our home. Every aspect of the food and service exceeded our hopes!

All aspects of planning, set-up, execution, service, and break-down were performed with the utmost professionalism and creativity. Every Mai Oui cook and service professional were well prepared and attentive to our guests.

Dream team

We are beyond thrilled with how the food turned out for our wedding! From the first bite to the last, everything was absolutely delicious. The appetizers were beautifully presented, and the main course options were diverse, ensuring there was something for every guest to enjoy. Our guests couldn't stop talking about the flavors, especially all the Latin food (tamales & empanadas), which was a standout!

Sophie and the Mai Oui! team was incredibly professional, ensuring everything was served at the perfect temperature and that every detail was taken care of. The catering staff were friendly and attentive, and the seamless service allowed us to truly enjoy our celebration without worry.

We also appreciated the flexibility in accommodating dietary preferences and restrictions, which made our guests feel well cared for. The desserts were an absolute hit—light, flavorful, and the perfect sweet ending to a perfect day.

We can’t thank the Mai Oui! team enough for making the food one of the most memorable parts of our wedding. Highly recommend to anyone looking for exceptional wedding catering!

Best catering for wedding

Choosing Mai Oui for my wedding caterer was one of the best decisions I made for the entire wedding. The food was amazing, guests were raving about it. Ericka is a dream to work with, she is so experienced and knowledgeable and helped me coordinate with the venue and plan out our set up, timeline, and layout. The entire wedding flowed perfectly, and Ericka made sure my husband and I had everything we needed. Thank you, Ericka and team!!!

Amazing food and service

I’m just going to start off by saying that Karen and all of the staff at Mai Oui are the most “catering” group of people in this industry I have ever met. Karen answered all our crazy emails and text messages (that I will say we’re sometimes daily) without hesitation. She changed our menu requests time and time again and made sure we had everything we could have wanted within our budget. Not only that, but the food was amazing, as was the service. I would recommend this company tenfold. They made our wedding experience amazing and handled our wants and needs with ease and positivity. 10/10 would use them for any catering needs we have!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
