Olympia nailed it

We had tried a couple other vendors before deciding upon Olympia. The tasting they offered was amazing and they were very personable and knowledgeable. The wedding day appetizers, and dinner was incredible. The best part was I had a goody bag of food to-go, seeing as I didn’t have a chance to eat much during the wedding. That really made my night going back to my hotel and eating in bed, haha! Thank you so so much Olympia!!!

Delicious!

Olympia was the inclusive caterer through our wedding venue, but honestly we would’ve gone with them even if that wasn’t the case! We opted to add some extra options and were thoroughly impressed with them! SUPER yummy, the beef tenderloin was particularly amazing, and the cilantro pesto that came with it was one of the best things I’ve ever tasted!!

Could not Recommend More

Darren and all of the staff were wonderful to work with from start to finish and provided some truly delicious food for our wedding. They had such great variety in their dishes and they executed them all to perfection. Guests were commenting how amazing the food was all night and we couldn't have asked for a better evening. It was a pleasure working with the Olympia crew and they truly helped make our night so special. Thanks!

Excellent!!!

We used Olympia Catering for our wedding at the Museum of Fine Arts in St. Pete. They are the required catering vendor for this venue, and we are SO glad that they were!! We had several guests tell us it was the best wedding food they had ever had. We had a buffet with the signature chicken dish and the balsamic braised short ribs. For dessert, we had the mini pies and the gelato cart. Our guests RAVED about it! From the tasting session to wedding day, we were so pleased with the professionalism and quality of the service from Darren and the event staff. I cannot recommend Olympia enough!!

Olympia Catering Won us over

After tastings at a couple of other vendors we ended up with the best. Guests raved about the food at our daughters wedding reception. They were professional, polite and food was delicious. Just make an announcement before starting the food service to go by table, otherwise there is a rush to the line when they find out it's Olympia Catering!

5-star food 5-star service. If you’re in Tampa BOOK NOW

I have never heard SO MANY people rave about wedding food until now. My husband and I chose a buffet style meal with comfort food including grilled cheese, chicken and waffles, and shrimp and grits as well as two custom cocktail drinks and I wish they were a restaurant it was downright AWESOME! Their service was JUST as amazing!!! The team lead made sure my husband and I had food and drinks in our hand the entire time and went above and beyond for us and our families making sure we were personally taken care of. Everyone in the team were so helpful and caring and we just can’t give enough praise! If you’re looking for personalized service with food that is memorable this is the catering you NEED.

Amazing food

Olympia Catering serviced our wedding at the Museum of Fine Arts on 4/22/22. Darren and his team are incredibly professional and accommodating. Our guests RAVED about the food and the event staff were professional and attentive. As a couple who was affected by the pandemic, we are so appreciative of Olympia's kindness and flexibility during our longer-than-expected wedding planning process.

Delicious, professional and helpful

Darren was extremely helpful. We are from out of town and had to do a virtual tasting. He gave great suggestions and was very personable. The food, presentation and team were perfect. Couldn’t have asked for more.

Best Caterer Out There!

Hands down, Olympia was the best catering company that we interacted with. Darren was a pleasure to work with and met with us many times over the course of our wedding preparations. He updated quotes for me numerous times as my wedding plans changed. Unfortunately due to COVID-19, we cancelled our large wedding celebration and switched to a more intimate 10 person ceremony. Darren and his team were so flexible and allowed us to switch our order to a carry out dinner for our wedding. The food was absolutely delicious. We were bummed that all our friends and family did not get to experience the food at our originally planned large wedding because it was so delicious. We recommend Olympia catering to everyone. They have the best service and the best pricing over any of their competitors. Thank you Darren and the team for everything!
