Polonia was exactly what we were looking for!

We are so glad we chose Polonia as our caterer for our wedding! They were extremely helpful and courteous in choosing our food menu and planning our seating arrangements. It was great to be able to go through 1 vendor for almost all of the necessities for an outdoor wedding. The food was delicious and hot, even with their 1 hour commute to the venue. Would definitely recommend!

We got compliments on the food!

Polonia was my venue Zacharys Red Barn preferred vendor and I am glad I went with them. The guests complimented the food. Fried chicken was so good. we also got pulled pork, grilled veggies, mac n cheese, mashed potato. We did buffet style. At the tasting we tried brisket going for a barn/rustic theme but the brisket is not the same you get with a BBQ place, good but not what we were looking for so we went with the pulled pork instead and that was really good!. Everyone loved the fried chicken. I used them for cake too, they sourced from a bakery nearby and the cake was awesome. Everything went smoothly since they know the venue too. Highly Recommend!

Catering Perfection

Polonia catering was nothing short of amazing for our wedding. The various options available and services they provided made our day nothing short of perfect. The food and desert was delicious and one of the highlights our guests raved about. We also struggled hard to find someone to do our wedding cake but since we had such a good working experience with them, we entrusted for them to do our cake as well. Let me say first hand, it was the best decision. Not only did the cake designer capture our vision but was able to do what other bakeries said they couldn't. We came in with ideas but working with Mike made our experience less stressful as he was very accommodating and was able to work with us to see our vision from start to finish. Would highly recommend Polonia Catering for anyone looking for a stress free planning effort, delicious food, and various add-ons such a nitrogen infused ice-cream station, a Champaign or chocolate fountain, desert table, and many more fun exciting options to keep the party going.

Great Catering Company

Polonia was fantastic from start to finish. From our first phone conversation all the way thru to the wedding, Mike and his staff were excellent. They answered every question, took care of every detail and helped make our day worry free. The tasting was a huge help in selecting the food and the ice cream.

Polonia's familiarity with our venue was a huge help in making the day and night go so smoothly.

The ice cream cookie sandwich bar was a hit with everyone and the food was fantastic. We had numerous guests tell us how much they enjoyed the food and how great the staff was. I highly recommend them.

Would give 10 stars if I could

We had Mike and the team at Polonia cater our wedding on 9/6/19 and we could not have asked for a more perfect outcome. The food was delicious and all of our guests loved it. Mike was extremely responsive and informative throughout the entire process from prior to our first tasting up until the day of. The team provided set up and take down of tables and chairs at our venue on the day of which was huge and Mike was there on site the whole day and asked multiple times if we needed anything, including the smallest thing like a bottle of water before the ceremony, which was awesome. We also asked them to make us a cake last minute and sent them a picture of what we envisioned and it turned out spot on. If I could give Polonia 10 stars I would. Thank you Mike and the Polonia team for making the day perfect.

Unbelievable food and amazing service and staff. BOOK THEM!!

Polonia Catering catered my wedding reception. First off they have a huge menu and great variety of food. We also did the tasting which I was so glad we did because it really helped narrow down exactly what we were looking for. The tasting itself was amazing and hands down sealed the deal. Michael was so professional throughout the entire experience. The day of the team went above and beyond. I received numerous compliments on the food. First off it was delicious. Secondly the staff was so through. They were so attentive. And made sure the tables were set up before the party. And helped with even small things like turning on my led candle lights. I truly appreciate everything your team did. Secondly we hired the bar staff through Polonia Catering as well and let me tell you they were equally as amazing. They keep the drinks cold and flowing. And they were so nice and fun. I loved them both. Everyone complimented your entire staff and food. Thank you so much for making stressful event run so smoothly. Multiple guest asked for your information. And I would use your company again a heartbeat. Thank you for all of your hard work.

Great food, Better Service, I cannot recommend enough

I just wanted to take a minute to express my gratitude and let you know how happy we were with Polonia Catering.

The food was outstanding and we have been receiving endless compliments about how the food was some of the best they've ever had at a wedding.

I also wanted to express how happy I was with the people who represented Polonia. We were so impressed with how hard everyone worked and how attentive they were. Every member of the team looked and acted the part and every request was met with a smile and hustle.

The first thing I mentioned to my parents in the morning was how happy I was with their work, and they could not have been better to us.
