Fall wedding perfection

Nicole’s catered our October wedding, and I don’t think I could have asked for a better team. Katrina was amazing to work with, she made sure every detail was taken care of and went above and beyond to make our day beautiful (especially the ice cubes with rose petals in them! Still obsessed with how cute they were) The food was AMAZING, guests are still talking about our mashed potato bar. We didn’t have to worry about anything the day of the wedding, they even threw together a gorgeous last minute cake when our original cake plans fell apart. I can’t wait to find another excuse to work with them again! I wish I had photos of the actual food but we we too busy eating to stop to take pictures!

Mother of the Bride review

Nicole’s catered my daughter’s wedding at Pat’s Barn in Troy, NY. Feedback from guests was that it was the best wedding food they ever had! Not only was the food amazing, they coordinated the entire day - no need for a day of planner at all. Very professional service.

Kate, Tina, and the whole team were incredible

We cannot recommend Nicole’s highly enough. Every dish they created for us was incredible, and they were very flexible when it came to any of our requests to customize each plate for our preferences and for any restrictions of our guests. Beyond the quality of the food and service it has to be said that all of the team members went above and beyond throughout the whole process. We were lucky enough to have Tina as captain of the staff at our wedding and on top of making sure everything ran perfectly smoothly, she made sure to take the absolute best care of us all night from the moment the ceremony ended to when we were packing up at the end of the night. We also have to say that our wedding day would not have been what it was without everything that Kate, Nicole’s Director of Sales, did for us. She was incredibly professional and thorough as well as genuinely caring. The degree to which she communicated with us leading up to our wedding and the care she put into the day itself were beyond what we could have expected. We really believe that every aspect of our wedding came together for the better because Kate and the Nicole’s team were a part of it. Thank you so much for everything.

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!
