They were absolutely amazing!

Mikasa AVL was absolutely perfect for our wedding. We had an intimate wedding and they were so easy to work with. We had a few conversations and knew exactly what we were looking for. They were the nicest people.

Wedding Review

We had a multicultural wedding (hispanic/american) and one of the most important things I wanted was great food for all our guests to enjoy.

I could not have been happier with the food and service Mikasa and their staff provided. All our guests were so impressed with the food choice. Ana and Santiago were so very easy to work with and their personal touches really meant the world to me. As a bride, I truly appreciated how Ana went above and beyond to ensure I could sample all the food at our wedding.

Overall, I would not hesitate to work with them again! I highly recommend.

Great Experience

Mikasa catered our wedding reception dinner and it was great. They worked with us closely on the menu and were very easy to contract with. Ana was very responsive and Chef Santiago delivered a great meal and experience for our event. It was a pleasure to work with them.
