The catering team was professional and organized, and everything was served on time. The food was good, and they did a great job accommodating our guests. We appreciate their hard work and helping make our day run smoothly. Becky did an amazing job at answering any questions we had during the entire process!

Where can I even start to explain how incredible it was to work with Terri Telesco and the team at Nellie’s Catering? From the very first time we met with Terri for our wedding, we knew that she was going to be the best partner in planning our wedding we could ask for. She and her team are excellent at what they do from the quality of their food, to wedding planning and coordination, to their staff, to the products they create. You could seriously hire Terri to do your entire wedding for you and it would be gorgeous and the food delicious. She and her team are also just nice and fun people?? Such a joy to work with!!! But to share more specifically: 1) We were planning a wedding from out of state. Terri was VITAL in recommending other vendors and working directly with them. She’s well respected and loved in the area and gets the best deals. 2) Terri was super responsive and jumped right in there with every question we had and idea we can up with. She “made it happen” on more than one occasion with how we wanted things set up, and was able to balance all of this with cost, which we really appreciate. 3) Terri is also a fantastic day-of coordinator and her team, including bar tenders, carried off a seamless event. They took all the ideas we had and complicated directions and carried them out to a tee. We didn’t have to stress at all the morning of the wedding or even during tear-down. They executed every detail flawlessly and took care of everything. 4) Terri and her team were also able to do all of our printing and signage for us - they checked every spelling, every detail, and caught our mistakes. It was such a sign of relief working with them. 5) Nellie’s makes amazing food. They were also able to confirm last minute requests we had for kosher and halal preparations. The guests were all really happy with their meal and the appetizers. 6) Terri helped us figure out our bar and what drinks we needed, and her bartenders were well loved by the crowd, even covering up how we had forgotten to include some of the main ingredients for one of our drinks!! 7) Nellie’s has a storehouse of wedding supplies - you will save a ton of money using what she has. We didn’t have to buy any glassware or candle holders or frames at all. I could go on and on. Let me also share that Terri had surgery right before our wedding and was using a scooter to keep her knee up on!! She still got all of this done - I can only imagine her at 100%. We were so blessed to work with Nellie’s and the success of our wedding (guests were in awe) is 100% thanks to Terri and Nellie’s. Book them! You will be in incredible hands!!

Absolutely amazing staff! We will recommend this company in the future!

From start to finish, our experience with Milan was nothing short of spectacular. We had the honor of having them cater our wedding at the beautiful Powel Crosley Estate in Sarasota, Florida, on 10/10/2025, and they truly exceeded all expectations. **Planning & Communication:** From the very beginning, Erin was an absolute joy to work with. She made the entire planning process smooth and stress-free, responding promptly to every question and ensuring that every detail was taken care of. Her guidance helped us feel confident and excited about the menu choices, and she was always open to customizing dishes to fit our vision. Wedding costs can be incredibly daunting and intimidating, but with Erin there were no sneaky hidden fees and she was completely upfront and honest with costs. The best part for us was that everything is written out in an itemized list so you know what you are getting and what else you will need to rent (which she was great in helping us coordinate additional rentals). **The Food:** The team led by chefs Nick & Kaleb brought the flavors to life in the most impressive way. Every dish was crafted with care and an undeniable passion for food. The presentation was stunning, and the flavors were even more incredible. It was clear that a lot of thought and expertise went into creating a menu that was not only beautiful but also perfectly suited to our tastes. During our initial tasting they really listened to everything that we wanted and made suggestions on what would work better for our vision and on our wedding day they made it all come to life. The portions were LARGE so our guests felt well fed. When we walked around after dinner people were literally scraping their plates clean and the next day we got so many compliments on our food choices. **Service & Execution:** Logan, our Lead Captain, was exceptional in managing the event. He was always professional, attentive, and made sure the timing was perfect throughout the evening. We could tell that the entire team does this all the time because everything went seamlessly, if there were any hiccups, my husband and I had no knowledge of it. We had to make some changes due to weather the morning of the event and the team was quick and efficient in making everything look even better than we anticipated. As the bride, I felt like the staff was extremely attentive not only to our entire guest list, but especially to the wedding party. Staff was constantly making sure that the bridal party was getting appetizers and drinks while we were pulled away for pictures. We are so grateful to Milan Catering for their impeccable service, incredible food, and flawless execution. They helped make our wedding day perfect, and we highly recommend them to anyone looking to take their event to the next level. Thank you, Nick, Kaleb, Logan, Erin, and the entire team for giving us and our guests such a memorable wedding experience!

What an incredible company. Truly from the day we had our first called we were just so taken care of and knew they were the caterers for us. Our tasting was absolutely incredible, even when we weren’t sure on something the chef switched it up so it would be exactly what we wanted! They were an absolute joy to work with!! Then on the day, it couldn’t not have gone more perfect. They handled our bar, cocktail hour and dinner service and it was all 10/10. The hors dvours were delicious, they created a beautiful charcuterie table for us, the bar tenders were great (they were able to adjust the spirits and beers for us to be our favorites), and most importantly dinner was incredible. Everyone was raving about the food!! We were worried about it being transferred from the cooks tent to dinner (we had an entirely outdoor wedding and it got chilly at night) and the plates were all piping hot!! The service was top notch and I really couldn’t recommend them any more.

Absolutely delicious food, professionally prepared and presented, with out-of-this-world customer service, especially from Esther, the Catering Sales Manager. My wife and I were thrilled with Morton's service and would recommend them to any other couple.

They were awesome!!!! They were so nice, the food was great and the servers were awesome. They even rinsed all our rental dishes and packed them back up for us.

My husband and I used Chef Terrence's catering service for our wedding. The food was delicious and Chef Terrence was very professional till the end! His prices were excellent and well worth the money! We hit a few bumps during the reception and Chef Terrence did what he could to make it right! Thanks again for your wonderful service and professionalism.

From start to finish my experience with Green Apple was amazing! They listened to everything that I had to say, accommodated me beyond expectations. The food was just amazing, nothing but empty plates and complements from all of my quests! The food was so good my uncle decided he owed them and started cleaning for them lol. Can’t thank them enough!
