Never Had a Better Meal at an Event

I'm not exaggerting when I say all my wedding guests shared they had the best wedding meal at my big day. Mattison's blew it out of the park. It was a total experience.

From passed creative appetizers and stunning cheese display to perfectly executed salads/entrees, and overflowing dessert table, each course was devoured. And you can't forget the tastiest late night taco bar!! Most importantly, Each person on their team was so professional, kind and welcoming. We even had one of the staff leaders personally cater/care for my husband and I throughout the evening to ensure we ate on our wedding evening. Truly exceptional catering company.

I also want to personally thank Kourtney, who worked with us the whole way. She planned the best tasting menu the year prior, dealt with multiple date changes due to Covid, patiently handled my indecisiveness on the final menu, welcomed personalizations to the menu, and made seating chart/assignment details so easy. She is hyper-responsive and knows how to work so well with other vendors. Not to mention, she is just fun :)

Thank you a million, Mattison's!!

Truly delicious

What an incredible company. Truly from the day we had our first called we were just so taken care of and knew they were the caterers for us. Our tasting was absolutely incredible, even when we weren’t sure on something the chef switched it up so it would be exactly what we wanted! They were an absolute joy to work with!! Then on the day, it couldn’t not have gone more perfect. They handled our bar, cocktail hour and dinner service and it was all 10/10. The hors dvours were delicious, they created a beautiful charcuterie table for us, the bar tenders were great (they were able to adjust the spirits and beers for us to be our favorites), and most importantly dinner was incredible. Everyone was raving about the food!! We were worried about it being transferred from the cooks tent to dinner (we had an entirely outdoor wedding and it got chilly at night) and the plates were all piping hot!! The service was top notch and I really couldn’t recommend them any more.

A+ experience

I have to be honest, we did not even do a tasting before hiring Mattison's. We live a few hours away and food was not at the top of my priorities for the wedding. Mattison's had good reviews, was approved by our wedding planner and venue, reasonable pricing, allowed us to buy our own alcohol, and most importantly, had a straightforward contract, unlike some other caterers in the area we spoke with. Lisa at Mattison's was so wonderful to work with: pleasant, responsive, and flexible. Our guests turned out to have a laundry list of food allergies and they handled it no problem. So many guests commented on how great the food was. Highly recommend hiring them for your wedding!

Amazing Food & Customer Service!

I had the pleasure of working with Kourtney, she was the first vendor I connected with when planning for my wedding. I found her to be very kind, professional, detail-oriented, and extremely helpful. Her recommendations were excellent, and her honesty was appreciated. The fact that she understood my needs, offered feedback, and always had a get-it-done attitude, was greatly appreciated. Mattison's is extremely lucky to have her.

Not only was Kourtney a joy to work with, but Mattison's food was amazing, too! During our tasting, we were blown away by how good the food was (appetizers, salad, entrees, sides, you name it). We couldn't stop talking about how excited we were to eat such a wonderful meal. At the wedding, it was no different, everything was just as great as we remembered! The wait staff and bartenders were extremely kind and willing to make sure my husband and I, as well as our families and guests, were taken care of. We highly recommend them!

To relive our wonderful memories, my husband and I look forward to visiting Mattison's again soon.

If you want great customer service, amazing food, and a wonderful overall service experience, look no further!

Fantastic quality service and food, from beginning to end!

My husband and I are so glad we had Mattison's cater our wedding! Kourtney Culler was absolutely fantastic to work with. She did a wonderful job curating a creative menu, and then took great care of us (along with our parents) during our tasting. She made adjustments based on feedback extremely well, and even inquired about some off-menu additions. The food was not only delicious and filling at our tasting, but the same was more than true at the wedding. Our guests were more than satisfied by the end of dinner (many too full for dessert and the late night snack!). In addition to the great food, the service was equally commendable. We all felt so well attended. As a busy bride and groom, they did a fantastic job of going above and beyond to make sure any of our dining needs were met. We highly recommend Mattison's catering!

Absolutely amazing experience!

My husband and I hired Mattison’s to cater our wedding. Living in NY and planning a wedding in FL we had to just go by word of mouth for our wedding dinner. Many people highly recommended Mattison’s during our planning process. With a vast menu, vegan options and fair prices we decided to give them a shot. Mattison’s Catering blew us and all of our guests away for our wedding night. We could not have asked for a better experience! The Hors d'oeuvres, dinner and desserts were phenomenal!! Weeks later my guests are still raving about the food! The staff that set up, cooked, served and cleaned up were top notch and very professional. They did absolutely everything, non of my guests or I had to lift a finger which was exactly the type of service we needed on our wedding night. Kourtney, the Catering Sales Director, made the organization a breeze; she was helpful, knowledgeable, kind and patient along the way. I would absolutely recommend Mattison’s for your catering needs!

Our Wedding Reception Dinner

We had our wedding reception dinner at Mattison’s Forty-One for 10 guests. The staff did an amazing job! If we had 10X the number of guests I feel the outcome would of been the same. Chef Paul, Kourtney, and staff did an outstanding job!

Wedding vip

We hired Mattison's Catering & Kourtney Culler for my daughter's wedding on June 5,2021 at the Mote Aquarium. I cannot say enough great things about this team! Because we reserved in 2019 for a planned 2020 wedding, the Catering Manager was actually replaced twice and yet Mattison's never skipped a beat. We also had to postpone the wedding from the original October 2020 date because of the pandemic. Again, Mattison's adjusted to the new date easily. We had hired Kourtney as our wedding coordinator for the month of the wedding, but by the time the wedding actually arrived, Kourtney was now also the Catering Manager, so I have no idea how she got everything done. First of all the food was incredible. All our guests raved about it and everything was handled with a smile. The Wedding Captain was helpful and super friendly at the wedding. They were on schedule the whole night and we had the cocktail hour in a completely different building, and still everything was done to perfection. And I don't even know where to start with Kourtney. She was INCREDIBLE!!! My daughter lives in GA and I live in PA so planning this wedding would have been difficult at any time, let alone during a pandemic! From the time, Kourtney came on board, she handled everything!! We didn't have to worry about anything because Kourtney took care of it all. She was supposed to only work till 9 the night of the wedding but she was still there when we left at 11. The whole day from beginning to end was perfect, and that is in large part due to Kourtney and her incredible organization. We had a lot of moving parts so I was really nervous about it all coming together, but Kourtney pulled it off and made it look easy. Plus, she's super friendly, professional and easy to work with. Thanks to Mattison's and Kourtney, my daughter's wedding was exactly as we imagined. I would encourage everyone to use their services. You won't regret it!

Mattison's Catering & Kourtney Culler

Kourtney Culler was our pseudo planner, because we didn't have the traditional big wedding, but rather a small, intimate and elegant elopement. She was fantastic to work with and we appreciated all her help & support! Even though our affair was small, she made sure to provide us feedback in a timely manner and acted as a conduit for other vendors to make the process easy for us. She made us feel confident that every detail was taken care and every aspect of our day would go as planned. She even went above & beyond and hung our floral piece that was prepared by my Mother on the ceremony arch for us.

As for the food, it was awesome! We didn't get to enjoy too many of the hors d'oeuvres, because we were taking pictures and settling down. However, the main course was spectacular. The short rib was exquisite with its tenderness and taste. The potatoes au gratin with truffle were everyone's favorite dish for the evening. We felt all the items we chose were perfect for us and would highly recommend them to anyone else looking for options.

The service was amazing, in particular Dave who was our main attendant. He attended to our every request and detail with graciousness. He acted as a consummate professional and any wedding or affair catered by Mattison's would be lucky to have him as their primary server.

We would highly recommend utilizing Kourtney, Mattison's and the rest of her team to take care of all your wedding needs.

Wedding Reception Food

Mattison's was one of the highlights of our wedding, people raved about the food! Some said it was the best wedding food they have ever had. It was unbelievably good! So glad I found them to do our wedding. Courtney did an amazing job making sure we were all set with constant follow up throughout our delayed wedding because of COVID and Caroline rocked everything the day of. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for food or a wedding.
