Amazing!

My wife & I would recommend Monteverde's to anyone & everyone over and over again! Kelly is BEYOND wonderful & made our day so special. She made sure to grab us a plate from our cocktail hour since we missed the entire thing for pictures, we never once had to get up to get our food, AND she even made sure to ask both sets of grandparents so they did not have to walk with full plates given their limitations! Since day one Kelly has been nothing but the BEST! Her staff are all lovely, we went through them for bar services too and the bartenders were sweethearts! Kelly made sure to get us everything we wanted even down to color flatware that matched our colors so nicely. She even brought extra cookie trays & displayed all of our cookies for us. The food was absolutely delicious & ALL of our guests raved about the food all night & wanted seconds, even THIRDS! I would recommend them over and over again, any day. Kelly & her crew were god sent angels and we LOVED working with her. Kelly truly is a shining light on your big day!!

Amazing Full-Service Catering

I can’t speak highly enough about Kelly and the whole staff at Monteverde. They helped to make our wedding day incredible. Kelly helped us plan the menu and place setting / linen rentals for around two years, with patience and grace. Our original venue fell through, and Kelly stepped up, re-planned everything for a new space, and took on the challenge with grace and enthusiasm. Over the course of planning, her responsiveness, kindness, and sense of humor made what could have been a stressful process feel seamless and enjoyable.

The food they served was nothing short of phenomenal— we served seated family-style, and each dish was perfect, timely, and delicious. Kelly also went above and beyond by dedicating hours to help us select unique floral china that intentionally mismatched for a bit of a whimsical, eclectic look. They provided all the linens and flatware, set up a HUGE cookie table, and their in-house bar service was phenomenal. There was never a long line, and everyone commented on how lovely the service staff were (all in zillion degree heat). Kelly even set up the centerpiece of the wedding, which was a gorgeous champagne tower with fresh flowers.

We couldn’t have asked for a better team to make our wedding day as magical as it was. Thank you for everything—you guys are spectacular!

Christmas Party

We host Christmas Eve each year and decided to have it catered this year. We ordered from the A La Carte menu and the food was absolutely delicious and we will continue this tradition! Thank you Monteverde for making my life easier

Great Food and Wonderful Staff

Monteverdes catered my wedding on 11/25/2023. The food was absolutely PHENOMENAL. I am still getting texts raving about the food, particularly the custom Ravioli Bar (so good). Kelly was so great in helping us nail down our menu, flexible with changes and so accommodating for our guests with dietary restrictions. She also made sure Ryan and I ate on our day, serving us specifically (just the absolute best). Additionally, the waitstaff at the wedding was incredible. I kept hearing all night about how wonderful the waitstaff was and they TRULY WERE WONDERFUL! They styled a beautiful cookie table, making sure my husband and I had a big box of cookies to take home knowing we'd have a busy night, they packed a meal for each of us to have at home, they brought in some toys for my nephews to play with (what a hit and were so sweet with the little ones period), and just generally, so helpful and made sure our night was as seamless and as perfect as possible. I could go on and on, but thank you, and I'm going to have to make up events just to use Monteverdes again!

Excellent Bartending Service

We hired Monteverde's last month to bartend our wedding in Downtown Pittsburgh. They provided everything for the bar except the alcohol and were excellent throughout the evening. Multiple guests commented on how great they were and we are very happy with the service they provided for our event.

They were excited to be a part of the day and even helped out with the bridal dance, always smiling and making sure our guests were attended to. We would recommend Monteverde's to any couple looking for bartenders on their special day.

Fantastic caterer for all kinds of events!

Monteverde Catering, with Kelly (owner) is absolutely OUTSTANDING! They catered my daughter's wedding (August 2022) and everyone there is awesome to work with from start to finish. The food is incredible: excellent family recipes that are delicious and unique! All of my guests raved about everything from the appetizers to the main course. They managed guests special dietary needs, helped us with the setup of the traditional Pittsburgh cookie table, and their staff are friendly, hard working and overall OUTSTANDING. I can not recommend Kelly and her crew enough!
