Fantastic team and delicious food!

We had Michael's on East cater our wedding at Marie Selby! A heartfelt thank you to MOE for everything they did to make our wedding so incredible. From the very beginning, their team was prompt in answering questions, honest in sharing feedback, and always maintained an open line of communication. It was clear they truly wanted to help, and that made all the difference. The food was absolutely delicious! Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the appetizers, and the meal itself was a huge hit—not just in flavor, but also in the generous serving sizes. Accommodating our late-night meal request was such a bonus, and we’re so grateful for that. Lastly, I have to highlight their incredible wait staff. We received so many compliments on their kindness and attentiveness. My husband and I personally felt so taken care of throughout the night, and that level of service did not go unnoticed. Their entire team and operation are truly outstanding, and we are beyond grateful for everything they did to make our day exactly how we envisioned it.

Can't recommend Michael's On East enough

Michael's on East catered my wedding and it was EXCELLENT! We still continue to hear from guests that this was the best food they've had before at a wedding and I completely agree with them.

My husband and I worked with Margaux throughout our planning process and she was truly exceptional - so detailed, always responded in a timely manner, and was just so easy and pleasant to work with. I can't speak highly enough of Margaux and of Michael's On East!

Excellent food and Outstanding Service

Michael's on East did a superb job not only catering our wedding but also on the presentation of the dinnerware. The servers and service were both outstanding. We received so many compliments on it all. We upgraded the dinnerware and linens, we served plated dinners, had champagne toast, and white glove wine service, we also had a lavish dessert buffet and open bar.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
