I could not recommend more!!

My husband and I were ABSOLUTELY blown away by how amazing Maravela’s was for our wedding this past June. For real, we looked high and low for quality food that would not break the bank. Maravela’s provided us with more than that. The service was excellent, and everyone was raving about the food! So many people were going back for helping of the real mashed potatoes and grilled chicken! One of our only wedding regrets is not grabbing a few more plates of this amazing food. Maravela’s made our guests impressed, and the bride and groom very blessed! Words can not express how pleased we are by their service!

Quality Service, Food and Hospitality

We don't know where to begin to describe how INCREDIBLE Lorenzo and his entire Maravela's team are! They go above and beyond for their clients from start to finish. You will instantly receive a personal touch from them and truly feel special. Throughout our entire wedding planning process, we were constantly surprised with how much Maravela's did for us. Along with their AMAZING hospitality, you will be guaranteed to have DELICIOUS food and PHENOMENAL service! Our guests are still raving about our meal choices and how well they were taken care of throughout the night by the bartenders and servers! Maravela's was also so considerate when it came to food allergies and restrictions! Thank you so much for making our day PERFECT! We are a PROUD Maravela's Couple!

Maravelas is amazing! The food was amazing, but this caterer was so much more. They were outstanding at helping plan out all of the little details! I asked if I needed to bring cups for the bar, and they responded back immediately with pictures, prices, and ideas for cups to purchase from costco! The whole night they made sure things were going smoothly, but I was never bothered with small questions. Did I mention the food was delicious!?! 5 stars for sure!

Everyone at Maravela's was fantastic from the very start. Super reasonably priced and very easy to work with. The tasting was phenomenal and the actual appetizers and meals at the wedding was even better, even with our venue being off site. Our guests raved about the food and the staff. The staff was incredibly friendly and made sure that our wedding party had appetizers waiting for them in the bridal suite and at the head table even tho we missed most of cocktail hour. Any plates that weren't put down were packed up for us to take home, as well as the leftovers from our late night snack. Couldn't have asked for anything more!

From start to finish I had a wonderful experience with Maravela's! Our DJ actually recommended them and I could not have been more pleased! We had an individual tasting and Kali had everything organized and ready to go! She was very helpful and answered all of my questions very professionally. When we communicated through email she had quick responses and professional answers. Maria ended up taking over for the day of my wedding and she was also very attentive. All of the servers and the bartender were friendly and made my friends and family feel right at home. If you love good food and a comfortable atmosphere I highly recommend hiring this company!!

Maravela's catered my daughter's wedding at The Riviera Ballroom last Saturday, Feb. 27, 2016. From the delicious tasting at Maravela's to select the menu, to the very final details days before the wedding, Maravela's was truly on top of everything! The food was absolutely outstanding and every one of our 230 guests could not stop complimenting the dinner and the service. Maravela's truly made this my daughter's fairy tale wedding! Maravela's also provided two very professional bartenders who definitely satisfied our guests, but never over served anyone. We also had our bridal shower in December in-house at Maravela's. This event was also well planned with Maria's help, and the food was delicious! I cannot recommend the service, professionalism and expertise enough from Maravela's. I have also had previous events, and every event is handled in the most professional manner and the staff goes above and beyond to make sure your event goes off without a hitch! 5 stars aren't enough. Hats off Maravela's for knowing how to totally please your customers! I would highly recommend your services to everyone!!!

Maria and her staff were wonderful to deal with! She was able to do our linens and decor at no extra charge. The day of the event was perfect. I would recommend them to anyone. Our cost was about half of what most places would have charged us. I can't say enough good about them!

Maravelas was by far the best vendor to work with for our wedding. Maria was my main contact during the planning process. She was kind, accommodating, and so reassuring of the whole process. I had a lot of last minute changes and she addressed them quickly and politely. I loved working with her. The day of my wedding their service even got better! The main guy ( I do not remember his name) was amazing! He went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly. While he was getting ready in the kitchen earlier in the day he had some down time. He came out and helped put up the finishing touches of the decorations. It was amazing. As the night went on the staff and himself were providing exceptional service. The food ( chicken and prime rib) was so good. It was cooked off site but it tasted hot and fresh. I received many compliments on how delicious the food was. I would recommend this company to anyone!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
