    The BEST choice you'll make for your wedding!

    Wow, where do I even begin to describe how incredible Chef Thao and her team are. My husband and I are avid foodies, so we both agreed that the number one thing we did NOT want to compromise on for our wedding was the food. However, given that we are both from a Taiwanese background and wanted to incorporate our culture into the food, we were stuck. Most wedding venues don’t allow you to bring your own food and a lot of the caterers we had looked up only seemed to serve the standard chicken, steak, and salmon. After a lot of googling, I came across Green Mangos catering and tucked them away in the back of my mind – when they ended up being one of the approved caterers for our venue, we decided to choose them and give them a try.

    Nothing could have prepared me for how amazing the experience would be and how many guests would RAVE about the food. Right away, I LOVED how communicative Chef Thao was from the start; at baseline I am constantly checking my email and she never left any message hanging or unanswered. The biggest challenge for us was making sure that the food would live up to our expectations AND live up to my very picky parents’ expectations. Chef Thao took things in stride and really stepped up to the challenge, working to make sure that we could relax easy on our wedding day.

    Which brings me to the other many things I love about Chef Thao. She is absolutely the perfect combination of assertive, loving, and humble. Whenever we were talking through decisions and logistics, she was fully transparent about the pros and cons of each option and always knew when to step in and recommend things when I truly had no idea which direction to go. By being so transparent, she never made me feel like she had any other interests in mind, and I knew she was 100% on my team and that I could fully trust her suggestions – honestly, she almost felt like a second mom. When we were looking for wedding vendors in general, we really wanted vendors who made it a point to honor diversity by showcasing it in their work. Chef Thao’s humility in tackling cultural foods is unparalleled, and I am so impressed by the efforts she went through to research and improve our food after our first tasting. To illustrate a couple of examples, by no fault of her own, I had given her a generic recipe for Taiwanese Cold Noodles that I had found on the internet, and my parents…were not impressed. She was so patient as we went through several rounds of troubleshooting to make sure the sauce lived up to my dad’s family recipe and on the day of the wedding the sauce was AMAZING! My parents also had some issues with the fishy taste of the sea bass on the first tasting and Chef Thao willingly took on the challenge of researching different ways to mitigate that taste – the sea bass ended up becoming everyone’s favorite dish of the night and my entire family devoured the leftovers at home immediately the next day (before we even got around to it)!

    Minnesota and its wedding industry is SO lucky that Chef Thao and her family fell in love with the area and chose to stay, because the food and service offered could easily thrive in a bigger city. Somehow, she managed to win my parents’ trust by the second tasting, which is a huge accomplishment in it of itself. Tom, the maitre’d made sure we were always well-fed and hydrated the night of, and the buffet line went so smoothly and quicker than expected. I used to roll my eyes a little whenever I saw the word “investment” on various wedding vendor websites, but now, after experiencing Green Mangos catering, I understand that it truly is an investment into the best day and food possible. You can taste the love Chef Thao has for her couples and her business in the food that she makes and if you want a celebration full of love, Green Mangos should absolutely be your number one choice for any catering needs.

    More than Great Food!

    I hired Thao and Green Mangos Catering for my daughter's wedding. When I asked my daughter and son in law what ONE thing did they each really want at their wedding, my SIL said, "GREAT food." Having tasted Thao's food at several different events, I knew she was the right caterer to hire for the wedding. She did NOT disappoint us. The food was absolutely fantastic. The guests were pleased; the bride and groom were thrilled and I was happy. The way she blends herbs and spices is amazing. It truly is a treat to eat food prepared by Thao and her Green Mangos Catering staff!

    HUGE thumbs up for Green Mangos!

    Thao and her team are phenomenal! Our friends keep telling us how delicious the food was at our wedding and it REALLY was. From appetizers to salad/veggies and the main dishes, our guests were obsessed with everything made by Green Mangos. It was a joy to work with Thao throughout the entire wedding planning process. She was always there to answer our (many) questions and think through decisions together. She also took the time to know us and make us feel like she really cared about our celebration and our marriage beyond just the catering logistics. Would recommend Green Mangos 100 times over!

    Simply incredible!

    We are thrilled to have worked with Green Mangos for our recent black-tie wedding! From beginning to end, the entire experience was nothing but excellent. If you are looking for a top-notch vendor who provides seamless communication, will get creative with you on menu customizations, and provides service that is out of this world, look no further. We cared deeply about our overall guest experience, and Thao and Tom not only helped to bring our vision to life; they truly exceeded our expectations. Also, it does not hurt that these are incredible humans who impart passion and dedication into their work. Cheers to Thao and Tom, and thank you for helping to make our day amazing!

    Green Mangos made our wedding an absolute dream!!!!!

    Thao, Tom & the rest of the Green Mangos team are seriously the best - we were blown away right away from our initial tasting at the flavorful, beautifully prepared dishes that were unique but liked universally - we heard from so many of our guests how amazing the food was from hors d'oeuvres, salads & delicious bread + butter, and the mains themselves. Food aside, Thao & Tom are lovely humans that were easy and FUN to work with, we felt so special and were so grateful they were such a big part of our day. I'd seriously recommend Green Mangos to anyone, they'll make your wedding even more memorable than you thought possible.

    Boutique caterer

    Thao and Tom (and the rest of the amazing Green Mangos Team), thank you SO much for being a part of our special day. Finding unique and flavorful food to complement our day was something that was so important to me and I was immediately drawn to Green Mangos for that reason. From our tasting to our wedding day, the flavors of Green Mangos will be something we'll never forget or take for granted.

    Creative & Professional

    As a fellow Wedding Vendor, I can't tell you how excited I get when I'm at a Green Mangoes wedding. So, when my husband and I began planning our own wedding menu, we immediately contacted Thao.

    What I loved is she was the only caterer who 1. didn't charge extra for custom apps 2. was actually creative and got into the theme of our wedding. She swapped corn bread instead of regular bread to really lean into our Charleston-Minnesota theme.

    Her entire team was so great and the food was delicious. To see more photos, www.alexandrarobyn.com

    Green Mangos is awesome!

    From the moment we inquired with Green Mangos/the owner Thao, she provided responsive, professional and friendly service. From thinking of the menu, timelines, giving general wedding advice and aiding with questions she was a joy to work with and I’m so thankful we had her. On the day of, her husband and maitred’, Tom, was fantastic and checked in with us and guests constantly. I don’t have enough good things to say! Also, of course, the food is amazing.

    They were part of my dream team!

    Of the brilliant decisions I made in planning my wedding hiring Green Mangos Catering has to be at the top. Thao and Tom are a dream time. From the first moment I met Thao I knew I had found someone inspiring, motivated and very organized - I loved her. At our first tasting, my husband fell in love with her too. The food was impeccable. But Green Mangos is so much more than just beautifully presented and unimaginably delicious food. We had our reception at a venue that came with zero involvement or help from the venue itself. Our reception could not and would not have gone as smoothly as it did if it weren't for the incredible attention to detail and service from Thao, Tom and their team. I received countless compliments to their level of service and helpfulness. Tom walked around our reception filling up guests water glasses, teaching them how to fold napkins (when asked to, they thought it was cute), checking on my husband and I, the list goes on!

    Exceptional food and service

    Thao is an amazing professional. She is extremely talented, she single-handedly saved our wedding, and I can’t say enough about how well it turned out and how Thao was instrumental in that.

    I give her my highest possible recommendation, and I’ll be forever thankful for her and her team.

    Best decision we made

    We did many a taste testing before we settled with Green Mangoes to cater for our son's destination wedding in Minneapolis. Exceptionally professional, quick to respond to any questions and most of all, listening carefully to our needs and then providing outstanding service and food. We had guests from all over the world attend the wedding and each and every one of them mentioned how amazing and tasty the food was. They cater with heart and soul, and I am so grateful to the team for making the wedding food so memorable.
    I hope you choose to work with them, you will be more than happy.

    Absolutely loved it!

    Working with Thao and Green Mangos was so terrific for our wedding. Our guests raved about the food and some said it was the best wedding food they'd had.

    We were specifically looking for a caterer who could showcase Asian flavors while simultaneously providing classy presentation and balancing Midwestern tastes. We knew right away from reading reviews that we wanted Green Mangos! What I appreciate about Thao is that throughout the process, she really thinks about the whole event with you -- deciding between plated vs buffet/stations, to the layout, and the whole flow and feel. For each question, she always made a recommendation but also took into account our preferences, and I appreciate this in an expert!

    There are so many decisions to make in wedding planning. Day of, the food was as good as the tasting (pretty amazing given the fact that we had Chilean sea bass). Our guests loved the appetizers. Tom made sure we stayed hydrated and checked in on us throughout the night. They also helped us take care of dessert and that was seamless.

    You can't go wrong with Green Mangos and it was really fun working with them!

They were very open to our suggestions and very flexible with tasting times also. We had a lot of diversity in our guests and everyone raved about the food. Great job!! Thanks Green Mango.🙏

    Thao and Tom, words cannot express how thankful we are for your incredible service at our wedding. We are still hearing from our guests how amazing our food was. We knew after taking one bite at our tasting that our food would be a show stopper and happy to hear that our guests agree! Thank you for being easy to work with and especially understanding when I had my crazy bride moments.

    Thao, you were so helpful and professional throughout this entire process. we cannot thank you enough for your guidance for not only the food, but also other important details needed for that day. My parents are still raving about Tom's attentiveness during the reception. We appreciate you not only making sure that we were hydrated and fed, but also our parents. It is just as an important day for them as it is for us. You both made us feel so special and relaxed. Thank you for being a part of our special day. You guys truly are the best!

    More than just a caterer!

    Our family celebrated the union between my cousin and her fiance this past weekend. Green Mangos Catering was supplying the grub all night and it was delicious. You could tell from the preparation and taste that these caterers cared. From the meatballs to the shooters of curry soup it hit all the taste-buds. I had the chicken curry stew for dinner and my wife had the salmon...TREMENDOUS.

    On another note, my grandma was in attendance (88 years young) and felt a little faint during cocktail hour. She had to lie down on a couch and once the paramedics arrived they thought it was in her best interest to head to the hospital for further evaluation. She was taken to St. Joe's hospital soon after to make sure all tests checked out (she is fine now which is great). However my dad and aunt had to leave to attend to her before dinner started. The owner of the catering company asked where the hospital was so he could drive three dinners to them. He did. They ate. End of story.

    Props to Green Mangos, specifically Tom and Thao, and the generosity they showed to our family this past weekend. There are many good people out in this fun world we live in. Be more like them and we can live a healthier life. I would recommend Green Mangos to anyone who needs an Elite catering company.

    Hire Green Mangos Catering!

    I cannot say enough about the spectacular experience we had with Green Mangos as our wedding caterers!!!! Thao and Tom and their excellent staff were like having wonderful friends cater to our every whim on our special day!! The food was AMAZING!!!! We still hear about "the best shrimp (cilantro ginger shrimp) I've ever had" and, "did you get to try the tuna tartar??" And even "... the best food I've ever had" - our wedding was one month ago and we can't stop talking about our caterers!!! They were always right there whenever we or our guests needed anything. Always. We absolutely loved Green Mangos!!! And we are seriously considering a one year anniversary party just to experience it all over again! They made us feel important, special and completely taken care of. They operate with total integrity, professionalism and intuitive anticipation of what clients want and need!!!! A+++++ FABULOUS!!!!!! THANK YOU from the bottom of our newlywed hearts for being very special 'guests' at our magical Blue Moon wedding.

    Wonderful caterer to work with

    Thao:
    You and Green Mangos put together an amazing wedding party for us last Saturday night! But first, I must highlight all of the things your team did to make the evening run smoothly without a hitch:
    1) the BBQ menu was delicious and presented beautifully in the backyard - I loved the tasty chicken with no bones!!! I loved the strawberry salad and cornbread and delicate desserts!! The sliders were a big hit!!!! Our family loved everything - so you and your team did a fabulous job on the menu!!
    2) the presentation of the buffet and the passing of the appetizers by your staff was perfect - as usual, the bar is where the action was but your staff was intermingling nicely with the appetizers. Your staff behind the buffet was helpful to our guests understanding what all the food items were and helping them fill their plates.
    3) throughout the evening it is obvious you and Tom are in charge of the event. I know, Thao, you are hard at preparing all of the wonderful delicacies!!! Tom is mingling with the guests and keeping the trains running on time!!! Wonderful to work with you both!!!!
    Thank you for everything, Thao. I know the bride and groom were so happy with every aspect of their wedding BBQ!!!

    One of our best wedding decisions

    Thao!

    We were honored to have all of our family members and friends present to celebrate with us, and thrilled with how everything turned out. We still cannot believe how fast the day goes by what with the months and months of planning. It's incredible. Working with you (and your husband on the wedding day) was an absolute joy; we cannot express enough how thankful we are for your kindness, patience and expertise while planning the menu, selecting the tableware and everything in between. Not to mention, we received countless comments from guests about how delicious the appetizers and meals were. All in all, we could not have been more thrilled and honored to work with you and have already recommended Green Mangos to friends and family members.

    Thank you again Thao, we hope that we will get to see (and work) with you again in the future.

    So glad we hired them!

    We cannot thank you enough! Food is very important to us and yours was incredible. Working with you was such a gift. Everything went smoothly and we actually got to eat food on our wedding night! Thank you for encouraging us to sit down to eat instead of doing a receiving line at the buffet - for sure a better choice! We wish you the greatest success in your career because you guys are amazing in every way. Thank you again for a fabulous experience!

    The best - highly recommend

    We worked with Thao & Tom of Green Mangos Catering and could not have been happier or more impressed. Their attention to detail is unmatched - service was 10/10 - presentation was excellent - we felt it was worth every penny (value) - our guests LOVED the foods - they worked with our request for food stations vs sit down dinner - AND they are just the nicest and best people out there!

    Not only are we now huge cheerleaders, but we consider Thao & Tom friends!

    Hire them and thank me later!

    Absolutely amazing!!

    Working with Thao during our wedding planning process was amazing! She answered every email and crazy question/menu change quickly and was always willing to work with us. She not only prepared a fabulous meal but helped to put together a beautiful event! Also, her husband Tom was awesome to work with on the day of our wedding, anything we asked, he took care of! If you want and amazing meal and even better people, hire Green Mangoes!! Everyone was complimenting “this was the best wedding food EVER!!”

    Tasteful, friendly, fun food!

    Thao and her staff at Green Mangoes Catering were extraordinary. The food was superb, we're still getting compliments from our guests about how delicious the food was. From my first introduction with Thao and planning the menu to her staff packing up the left overs and saying "thank you", Green Mangoes was professional, wiliing and flexible. We had about 80 guests at an indoor/outdoor venue, Thao helped us design the perfect menu for a post-elopment celebration with a french polynesian backyard bbq sort of flair. We wanted tasteful, friendly, fun food that was easy to eat but fancy and luxurious to the palate. That is what we received. Our guests were served, satiated and thankful and we were carefree and grateful the evening of our celebration. I highly recommend Green Mangoes for your catered event. ~ The Masinos

    There are no words to describe how amazing Green Mangos Catering was at our wedding. I'm not even sure 5 stars is an accurate score because of how above and beyond they went to make our day special. To start, they are extremely professional, responsive, and knowledgeable. They always knew what details needed to be discussed!! The food is absolutely perfect. Each protein was cooked so beautifully, and the flavors were just outstanding. I am also usually a huge meat eater, but our vegetarian option, Pumpkin Mascarpone Ravioli, was also the most delicious thing ever. We were getting compliments on the food all night!!! They also have a very diverse menu to choose your food from, so no matter what, you'll find something to suit your taste. More than this, Green Mangos has the most excellent service you will ever find. Tom will MAKE sure you have a drink in your hand, food in your belly, and smiles on you and your guest's faces. During our social hour, Tom was serving my husband and I the entire time, and we GREATLY appreciated it!! He made sure to tell us that whatever we needed, he would take care of. When one of our guests wanted more of an appetizer, Tom brought out a whole plate for him. When we needed table linens to be changed because of stains, he was right on top of it. Tom doesn't even let the bride and groom stand in line at the buffet table! He personally serves them a plate of food and makes sure they get a second helping. Overall, our experience with Green Mangos went far beyond our expectations. Their dedication to our wedding made our entire event so special. I can proudly say I am one of the few brides in this world that ate excellent food throughout the entire night and was never thirsty!!! This team is worth every cent and will prove that to you on their wedding day. There is a reason they have such spectacular ratings from their clients. If you want a caterer who will be the talk of the guests, use Green Mangos Catering.

    Green Mango was amazing. We had many special requests that were unique to our needs. They not only met our needs, they went above and beyond. The food was delicious and the service was unbelievable. Thao suggested excellent dishes and our guests enjoyed it. Everyone was raving about the hor d'oeuvres. Tom made sure we had everything we needed and paid extra attention to our parents. They did a fantastic job communicating with us and all of the other vendors. They did a really good job keeping us in the loop with unexpected changed. Thao and Tom are a perfect team. We did not just get a catering service, we got so much more and we're so glad we chose Green Mango, I don't think anyone else could have done as good of a job as they did.

    Thao and her team catered our wedding in August. They did a phenomenal job and everything went smoothly. Our guests enjoyed their meals, the staff was courteous and friendly, and the food tasted made-to-order despite being a buffet. In the lead up to our event, Thao worked closely with us to finalize a menu that reflected our style and fit our budget.

    We had the most wonderful experience with Green Mangos from start to finish. Thao was the most responsive and accommodating of all the caterers we contacted. Her knowledge and expertise is unbeatable in the wedding planning process. But most importantly, every guest we have ran into since the wedding has said "it was the best wedding food ever." I would like to argue it is some of the best food I've ever had in my life. Every bite was scrumptious. The event staff was friendly and accommodating as well. Highly recommend!

    Our main priority for our wedding was a great meal - we did not want the sad wedding chicken. After months of looking and at least 6 different tastings - we found Green Mangos. From the tasting we knew Green Mangos was the perfect choice for food because it was incredibly delicious. We quickly learned through working with Thao and her team that is it is also especially important to have knowledgeable and accommodating professionals running the show.

    Working with Thao was incredibly easy. She immediately understood our vision and knew how to execute that vision. She not only helped us plan a beautiful meal (our friends are still talking about how great our wedding meal was), she was also a wealth of information on timing of the day, how much ice we would need for our bar, and what kind of desserts we should order. Thao also took care of ordering all the linens, flatware and dishware, and had our dessert billed through her service so we only had to pay one vendor on the day of the wedding.

    Thao's staff, and especially Maître D’ Tom, were amazing on the day of the wedding. When food service began, Tom immediately brought filled plates to me and my husband and was constantly checking in and filling our champagne glasses. I cannot say how impressed we and our families were with the level of service and presentation that Green Mangos provided.

    If I ever have catering needs in the future - I will only be hiring Green Mangos. They are simply the best in town.

    We hired Green Mangos Catering to cater our wedding, and they exceeded expectations on ALL FRONTS. The food was delicious, the staff was professional and courteous, and they left the venue just as it was when they arrived (private residence). Chef Thao Moore and Maître D’ Thomas Moore set the bar in the catering industry; a holistic service, creative approach, and admirable work ethic should convince anyone to bring Green Mangos Catering on board for their event. Chef Thao’s direct approach and no-messing-around attitude instilled confidence in us & were the leading factors in choosing them as our caterer. Thank you for everything you did, and thank you for cultivating a wonderful event! –M&M, 6-21-201

    My husband and I had Green Mangos do the food for our wedding, and everything was phenomenal. The initial tasting was cute and well-planned, and the wedding food planning was so easy. Thao was an absolute pleasure to work with and she attended to every detail and special request, including vegan meals and kids meals. We had a plated dinner at the wedding, as well as butler-passed appetizers, a non-alcoholic beverage bar, and a root beer float bar. The service was exceptional, all of the servers were friendly, helpful, and appropriate. The food was excellent, and they did a great job on the root beer floats, which were really a hit. We could not have made a better choice. Thank you!

    Thao and her husband Tom are absolutely phenomenal!! We had Green Mangos do our catering at the James J. Hill Reference Library for our July 20th wedding. I received and am still receiving compliments of how amazing the food was at our reception. I filled out contact information on their website and a couple of hours later Thao contacted me right away.

    My fiancé and I were unsure about what we wanted to do for our reception, but from our first meeting Thao helped and guided us through every step of the way! I loved how they were able to create anything that we wanted. I also loved how our food wasn’t your typical reception food. I wanted to create a mix of our families heritage we had an Italian Asian fusion buffet with Indonesian Platter (seasonal vegetables, Asian chips, and apples), Jasmine Rice, Shrimp Thai Curry, Linguine Bolognese, and Chili garlic noodles for vegetarians! Everyone that I talked to said that are wedding, reception, and food represented us! That is exactly what we wanted! We didn't want something cookie cutter we wanted us!

    Thao, Tom, and Green Mango Staff go above and beyond any expectation my fiancé and I had!
    Everyone was so professional and organized I could not have asked for a more exceptional catering company! I truly believe that this is one of the best catering companies in the Twin Cities. It was the perfect day with the perfect food!! If we had to do it all over again we wouldn't change a thing!!

    I had a wonderful experience with Green Mangos Catering for my wedding at the James. J. Hill Library in St. Paul, MN. I highly recommend them and their food! First, and most importantly I think, I know that guests were so happy with the food they were served. I had so many people come up to me on the day of the wedding and even the next day and tell me how wonderful the food was. Hearing the food was so good was really, really nice. Second, my husband and I also really loved the food. The day before and day of the wedding were pretty stressful and weren't filled with a lot of well-planned meals. However, eating Green Mangos' food at the wedding reception was fantastic. We were both really happy with just how good the food was - definitely the kind that made you want to get seconds. :) Third, the Green Mangos staff could not have been more professional and hard working. They helped with setting up the tables, made sure the food was displayed nicely and everything went smoothly during dinner, and did a ton of work with taking everything down at the end of the night. The staff was very nice to everyone and did a perfect job. Thao thought of many things I hadn't and always responded quickly to emails. Her menu was very flexible and she accommodated us throughout the entire wedding planning process. If you want some food recommendations too, try having a mashed potato bar. Our guests loved the pesto cream sauce, the southern pan fried gravy, and the variety of other toppings that Thao displayed nicely. Anyway, we are extremely happy with the catering job done by Green Mangos. Thao and her staff were excellent and so was the food!

    Working with Thao was fabulous. We were looking for a caterer that would provide great service and wonderful food and that's what we got with Green Mangos. Our hors d'oeuvres reception was exactly what we wanted. Thao met us at the venue before, helped us plan, was extremely flexible by meeting us early to get linens, etc. Her staff was extremely professional. I was also pleasently surprised when her husband and partner approached my husband and I at the wedding and let us know he was there to make sure we were fed and happy :) I highly recommend Thao and her team and hope to hire her again!

    We hired Green Mangos Catering to cater a meal at our home for a group of 20 work colleagues recently.

    We were extremely pleased with our entire experience working with them! Thao was very helpful in planning the event. She placed a high priority on listening to our hopes/desires for the event. She really seemed to care about ensuring everything met our unique expectations. And when we wanted her ideas and advice, she was very prepared to offer her professional and creative expertise. Together, we worked with Thao to create a delicious menu with appetizers/entrees that complimented each other very well! Our guests just loved everything and kept going back for more!

    We appreciated the way Green Mangos Catering stayed on-site during the entire event with real-time food preparation, continual clean-up and wait service. The staff helped us welcome the guests and took their coats. We enjoyed Thao’s willingness to explain the food prior to serving it throughout the evening, which added a “personal chef” style dining experience to the evening. Following the event, the staff cleaned up everything and left the kitchen and entertainment area spotless! The amount of care and consideration given by the staff replicated what one would put forth if hosting their own party.

    We believe the entire event was reasonably priced, in fact, a real bargain considering the high quality, gourmet nature of the food and impeccable, personalized service. We would eagerly have them cater another meal at our home and would recommend Green Mangos Catering to anyone!

    The catered food did not turn out the same as the taste testing. The food was not as good and the presentation was also different during the day of the event. Thao's easy to work with. I just wish the quality of the food was better.
