Absolutely LOVED Nellies!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about working with Nellies catering. I had the pleasure of working with Terri, the catering manager. She was so kind and helped me bring my ideas to life. The food was amazing, the service was amazing, and their team was amazing. When they say full service, they mean it! 10/10 recommend :)

Fredda, Kathy and Mary Kay were an amazing team to work with! Kathy and Fredda gave me a number of menu/service options for our budget, and we went with food stations (tacos and pasta). We stayed well-within our planned budget, and got so much more than we'd hoped for from Nellie's! The complementary day-of-coordinator was fantastic, and helped bring our dream to life! Mary Kay knew exactly what I had in mind, and coordinated everything so seamlessly and quickly. The entire process was so well-organized and comprehensive, and my every request and concern was addressed and accommodated immediately. I would add a sixth star to their rating if possible!
