From start to finish Nicole’s was excellent!

If you’re looking for a caterer with great ideas, excellent communication, delicious food and a professional staff- go with Nicole’s! Everyone at our daughter’s wedding raved about the food and service. We could not have dreamed it would be that good!

Perfect caterer for a perfect day!

Nicole’s Catering was the best choice we could’ve made to cater our June 2024 wedding at the Appel Inn! All of the staff was so prompt, polite, and enthusiastic in our communications from the start. Kate frequently followed up with phone calls and meetings throughout the year as we narrowed down our choices, and Dylan was great about sending friendly reminders each time a payment was due.

On the day of the wedding, Nicole’s staff helped with the layout and setting up dining, memorial, and other incidental tables. We ordered our cake through them, so they took care of bringing the cake from the bakery, and it was delicious! When we weren’t sure if a buffet would work in the space based on the number of guests we had, Nicole’s assured us they could make it happen, and they certainly did! No one felt like they had to wait too long for food, and even with all our guests, the venue felt spacious and comfortable, even with the buffet tables. The servers were excellent and the bartenders were truly impressive, working on the deck outside tirelessly for almost 6 hours on a very hot and humid June day! Our captain, Michelle, constantly made sure my husband and I had enough to eat and drink. They even had a full and beautifully plated display of the passed hors d’ouevres set aside in the She Shed just for us before our grand entrance.

Our guests are still raving about how delicious the food was and many have told us it was some of the best food they’d ever had at a wedding. We couldn’t be happier with Nicole’s and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caterer for their special event!

The best decision you can make!

Hiring Nicole's Catering was the best decision we made for our wedding. We initially found them by asking around who in the area provided the best quality food and the answers were unanimous: Nicole's! Serving a very beautiful and delicious meal was important to us, and we got that and so much more. Kate and Ava were consistently easy to communicate, patient, and professional. It felt like a partnership in crafting the event that we wanted and bringing it to life. Additionally, their day-of coordinating was invaluable to making the day run smoothly. Things popped up (a shuttle was late pushing out timeline, a guest needed medical attention also pushing our timeline), but we hardly noticed. Ava handled everything so that we enjoyed a stress-free experience.

The food was incredible and all our guests were raving about it. We're so grateful to the whole team over at Nicole's and would recommend them to anyone!

Nichole's always knocks it out of the park. Super friendly staff and always smiling faces at the events we have attended. The food has never let me down.

I have been working with Nicole's for over 13 years and can say that not only is their food excellent, and their service is top notch! Margaret works with each client individually to create a menu that is tailor made for your event. Her waitstaff are fun, professional and extremely thorough! They actually catered my wedding and I could not have been happier! I love working with Nicole's as they definitely go the extra mile to make your event perfect!
