Best Decision Ever

If you’re shopping for a caterer for your wedding or event, Look no further.
We hired Michelle’s Catering for a reception with 130 guests. Best decision ever. They are professional, creative,and talented. The food was delicious. Chef Anthony and staff totally delivered. Our friends and guests all raved and asked “ Who catered this party?” I honestly hope to generate additional parties for them because they completely deserve all the accolades. Our favorite hors d’oeuvres were: the Peking Duck Spring Rolls, the Mini Beef Wellington, Baked Brie with Raspberry Puree and the Mini Maryland Crab Cakes. Honestly, they were all superb. Our dessert table with the mini bite size desserts was a sight to behold. It is now days after the party, and whenever I talk to a family member or friend who attended, they all mention how great the Catering company was.
The staff was attentive. All I can say is they were “on it”. The rooms stayed bussed and clean. The wait staff and bartenders were friendly and there was a constant flow of food through the party. ( ours was a passed hors d’oeuvres / cocktail party reception).
Leading up to the party, Michelle D’Anna was always available and responsive to my questions and concerns. I can assure you that this company knows what they’re doing. You are in good hands.

Amazing service - all around!

The very best one can expect for wedding catering and event organizing! Extremely professional and very understanding team! We just couldn't thank Michelle and her team enough for the amazing service that they provided us on our wedding day, from start to finish! We couldn't have wished for any better and honestly couldn't have done it so well without them! The food was exquisite, customized to tastes and had all the guests raving about it. The flower arrangements and plate settings were truly fabulous! They even accommodated unexpected last minute changes with elan and grace. Just amazed at how they went above and beyond to help us, during our special day! Both of us felt very comfortable that Michelle was in charge. 5 stars and above, all the way!! Can't wait to engage Michelle and her wonderful team again for future events!

Wonderful food and service for my 20-person backyard wedding

Michelle's Catering was a dream to work with. With just 3.5 weeks to plan a 20 person "minimony" and reception dinner in my parents' backyard, Michelle and her team put together an incredible feast that wowed our guests and made our wedding the elegant winter celebration we hoped it would be, even despite the pandemic. Michelle, Anthony and the team were fabulous to work with, dealing with the curveballs and COVID restrictions with grace and ease. Their staff was extremely respectful of our desire to keep guests socially distanced and safe. And the food was INCREDIBLE -- our guests loved the appetizers (hello, mini pizzas!), entrees and delicious selection of desserts. We would highly recommend Michelle's Catering to anyone planning a small wedding at home -- or a large celebration once the pandemic is over!

Absolutely Superb!!

What a night!! Planning our menu with Michelle and Anthony was so easy; they had so many unique and fabulous ideas it was actually hard to whittle it all down to a few items to serve our guests. All I can say is WOW! Our guests were so impressed with the servers professionalism, and the incredibly beautiful presentation of the food. What about the grand finale? Dessert was gorgeous and delicious! For a memorable and remarkable celebration, Michelle’s catering is the only caterer I would call.

Great Food! Great Team! Great Experience!

Michelle and her staff did on wonderful job on our special day. She was very professional, well organized and had a great attention to detail. She was very responsive and accommodating to my numerous requests for recipe modifications due to food allergies. In the end, we had a fabulous menu that included gluten free and dairy free options. Everything was delicious and the presentation was beautiful.

We will definitely use Michelle's again for our next party.

Wonderful Experience

Michelle's Catering did a wonderful job catering our small, outdoor wedding. Michelle and Anthony are an amazing team and a pleasure to work with. They're professional and accommodating, especially for gluten-free requests.

The food was delicious and the menu is quite extensive. The appetizers were a hit and displayed so beautifully on serving dishes. The servers were lovely, worked independently, timed each course perfectly and left the kitchen immaculate!

In conclusion, I would highly recommend Michelle's Catering for any size event. They provide excellent service, great food and most of all - a personal touch!
