The best caterer for the best night of our lives!

As a couple who LOVES food, it was critical to us that we found the perfect caterer. We spent a LONG time searching for someone who offered interesting flavor combinations and ideas rather than the same, classic-but-boring staple wedding food options. We knew we had found something special when we found Ovy Signature Catering, and let me assure you, they did not just live up to our expectations - they exceeded it.

I cannot encourage you enough to at least sample what they have to offer, because it will convince you of their culinary skill and expertise. They drew upon flavors and ideas from all over the world. Everything they served was beautiful and delicious, and even though we were stuffed by the end, we could never deny ourselves another bite. Their expertise was also evident as we developed our particular menu in regards to the available facilities at our venue (the Old Post Office), as well as to our own tastes and preferences. In fact, we suggested a few options to round out our menu that they were happy to implement. By the end, we truly felt like we had developed a custom, personalized menu that fit our creativity and preferences.

Even more than the food, I cannot praise the people behind this company enough, because they were the bedrock for our amazing celebration. Ati is not only a wonderful person but incredibly thoughtful and reliable - we relied on him MANY times, for suggested wine pairings, ways to adapt the menu, and many other tasks. He also cheerfully accepted all of our last-minute requests with zero hesitation. Ovy and his team were incredible on our wedding day - they worked quickly, efficiently, and were a massive help whenever we needed assistance. And we received SO many compliments on our food from our guests, many of which said they had never had such fantastic food at a wedding before.

If you haven't been convinced that this is the right caterer for you yet, let me add a few other things that were key for our selection of this company. It was critical for us that our caterer allowed us to supply some of our own food, from my partner's home country. Ovy Signature Catering was very happy to help us serve it. We also wanted to serve our food "family-style" so that our guests could sample everything. I don't believe that every caterer allows such a thing, but Ovy Signature Catering was happy to oblige.

I hope you and your partner will do yourself a favor and try this company, because I assure you - they are the best in the business, and will exceed all of your culinary hopes and expectations.

Amazing Service!!!

Our experience with Ovy and Ati at Signature Catering was absolutely amazing!! Our wedding guests couldn't stop talking about how delicious the food was. Many said it was the best wedding food they've ever had!

We received so many compliments on the dishes AND the service. Our wedding happened to be on Ovy's birthday, and he still arrived on-site to oversee the catering operations. On his birthday!! We so appreciate Signature's customer service, professionalism, and general kindness expressed many times during the months we worked with them.

We also can't forget to mention Nereida -- she was the best!! She helped field our questions and clarify the little details. We did things a little out-of-the-box when it came to our DIY wedding, and Signature Catering worked alongside us to help us achieve the wedding of our dreams.

Thank you all so very much!! We wish we could book you again!

Delicious food and great service!!

We used Ovy/Ati and their team for catering our wedding of 90 people.

We did a tasting about 1 year in advance, and we were stuffed from the tasting alone. The food was amazing and Ati and his team reviewed the science behind how they prepare their food and walked us through the process of how plates would be prepared on the day of our event. As promised the food was delicious and we were stuffed, and we decided on Ovy's team day of.

Leading up to the event, Ati had great communication via email, and reached out regularly with updated contracts, confirmed our meal selections, and closer to the event laid out the details as well. Their team was present during the final walk through at our venue, and helped to ask important questions about food and decor that we wouldn't even have thought to ask.

On the day of our wedding, the team was a well oiled machine. It was clear they were familiar with the venue. We did not have to lift a finger for load in or clean up. The catering lead approached us about just the right things at just the right times - including offering us our own plate of apps and making sure we always had a drink refill! Clean up was very efficient. All the details were on point. Our guests later remarked that the food was the best they've ever had at a wedding and are still talking about how delicious the salad and entrees were. We could not have asked for a more delicious meal and organized team!

Thank you so much to Ovy, Ati, and the rest of the team for making our day a success. We would absolutely book them again for any event in the future. Don't miss your chance, slots fill up quick !!

Hands down the most delicious food ever!

We originally reached out because I had tried their food at a wedding I attended and once our planning got started I knew exactly who I needed to reach out to. Ovy, Ati, and their team were extremely kind and SO easy to work with. Our tasting completely blew us away! Every bite was incredible, and our bellies felt full for what honestly felt like 2 weeks after.

On the wedding day, the food was nothing short of spectacular. We received SO many compliments from our guests about how delicious everything was. Every dish was perfectly prepared and absolutely flavorful. I still dream about their butternut squash soup and wish I could eat it every single day!

If you're a foodie like us and want your wedding guests raving, your taste buds celebrating, this is your team. Truly amazing from start to finish!

Best food ever! Amazing communication!

Ovy, Ati, and their team were the best! Many guests said this was the best food ever at a wedding. They were on multiple venues' lists of recommended caterers, and after reaching out to 15+ for prices they were one of the cheapest, and the food options were so unique and delicious. In addition to the hors d'oeuvres and main meal, we added on a dessert table and coffee/tea and everything looked really nice. We also did a late night snack through Ovy! They were great with communication, professional, kind, and we highly recommend everyone reach out to them!

Ovy & Team Knocked It Out of the Park!

“Best wedding food I’ve ever tasted” - a common compliment still coming our way from our wedding guests even though our wedding was weeks ago. We had a few tastings before signing a caterer, and Ovy’s blew us out of the water. The attention to detail and melding of several different cultures and tastes was incomparable. While I’m sure they also knock the classics out of the park, our menu was a bit more experimental and yet still a hit with even our pickiest eaters. I have a severe allergy, and the team worked to recipe test my favorite dessert and make sure they could make it a reality for me. I think this level of extra care and thoughtfulness can only be received at more boutique caterers like Ovy. Would seriously recommend to any ‘26 and ‘27 couples!

Amazing Experience, Start to Finish

From our very first conversation with Ati, we knew we wanted them to cater our wedding. And then we had our tasting and we were absolutely blown away! Our family members we brought with still talk about all of the incredible food we ate that day. It was so hard to decide on our menu because everything was delicious. Ati and Ovy were so easy to work with. It was nice that with all of the stress that comes with planning a wedding, we knew we weren't going to have to worry about anything related to catering because they had it handled. Whenever we reached out with a question, they got back to us almost immediately. I remember sending Ati a completely not urgent email and he responded within a few minutes asking if we wanted to chat about it on the phone and we had all of our questions answered within an hour of sending that email. Everything went perfectly smooth on the wedding day. They set aside drinks and hors d'oeuvres for us during cocktail hour and everything tasted exactly like we remembered it from the initial tasting. The main courses as well- the meats were cooked perfectly and the presentation of the dishes was stunning. Again, just as we remembered it from the tasting. The staff came to check in on us many times throughout the night and even grabbed us drinks from the bar during dinner. Our guests loved the food- we heard nothing but glowing reviews after the wedding. Many of the guests were even going up to Ovy to tell him how incredible his food was. They sent us home with one of each of the main courses at the end of the night and Ati called to check in on us the day after the wedding. From the very first contact to after the wedding day and every moment in between, it was so enjoyable and stress-free working with Signature Catering by Ovy. We cannot recommend them enough.

Hands down best value in catering

Ovy’s Signature Catering was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, Ati was a joy to work with. He is energetic, communicative, and genuinely cares about creating an amazing experience. Throughout the planning process he was patient, helpful, and always made us feel like a priority. Our other vendors also talked about how wonderful he was, which let us know this is who he truly is every day, not just with clients watching.

Chef Ovy is incredible. Our tasting was not only delicious but so generous. They brought out additional dishes and elements just to be sure we were completely satisfied with what we chose. They were flexible with adjustments, and anytime we liked parts of two different dishes, they offered great solutions.

What impressed us most was the wedding day itself. The food was outstanding. We had almost 200 people, and everything tasted just as amazing as it did during the tasting. Many of our guests told us it was the best wedding food they had ever had. The entire team was professional, kind, and wonderful to have on site. Their value, service, and food are truly unmatched. We would recommend them to anyone!

Spectacular Wedding Catering with Ovy!

We decided to work with Ovy Signature for our wedding and they were nothing short of amazing. During our first meeting with Ati, we knew we wanted to move forward with Ovy Signature. We had a fantastic tasting in which we were able to taste an assortment of hors d’oeuvres, main course meals, and deserts. Everything that we ate was truly terrific, which made it even more difficult to choose what we wanted our guests to eat. The main dishes that we went with was the chicken, beef, and risotto selections which were absolutely incredible. Our guests could not stop talking about how delicious the food was and some even asked for their information so they can hire them for future events. Also, the presentation of the hors d’oeuvres and main dishes were were simply elegant. Since we aren’t huge dessert people, they were kind enough to create us a beautiful s’mores bar which was a massive hit. The staff were extremely helpful with our needs and made sure that we and all our guests were well taken care of. One of us if a huge dirty martini person, so they even special made homemade blue cheese stuffed olives for a garnish. After our wedding ceremony, we made sure to take 10 minutes to ourselves, and Ovy and his team were kind enough to bring us a plate of hors d’oeuvres to ensure we were able to enjoy a light snack before entering cocktail hour to mingle - they also remembered both of our favorite cocktails and had those prepared for us as well. All in all, we would absolutely recommend Ovy Signature to anyone who is in need of a caterer.

10000/10 amazing!!!

OSC was incredible. Multiple guests told us that it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. The service was truly unbelievable - I cannot say enough about how much we and our guests LOVED the staff. The bartenders crushed it and there was hardly ever a line to get drinks. They provided beautiful linens and glassware that made the room look so special.The food was served exactly on schedule and very efficiently! They executed a fairly complicated room flip (and one that had never been done at the venue before) absolutely perfectly. It was wonderful to see our vision come to life.

They were the BEST to work with during the planning process - incredibly responsive, so accommodating for all of our bespoke requests, and just so nice and collaborative. Ati was very positive and gregarious. Ovy is a little more reserved but very kind and an absolute pro. The food itself was delicious and exactly like the tasting. Plating and presentation was showstopping. The shortrib mashed chive mashed potato was a perfect dish. They were also able to make a wide variety of cuisines: Mexican chicken, Indian Samosas, bruschetta. It was all so well seasoned and flavorful.

They saved extra meals for us since it was challenging for me to eat at dinner, and it was such a treat being able to come home and have such incredible food to cap off the best day of our lives. I could certainly go on about how great they were - the absolute BEST caterer in town! 100/10 would HIGHLY recommend.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
