    Great service

    Lancer catering did a great job for our wedding at Como Lakeside Pavillion. Lyndsey was easy and fun to work with. On the day of everything was like we talked about and the food and drinks were great. All the staff there was so wonderful. I would recommend them to anyone!

    Awesome Food, Aesome Staff

    We used the location at the Phoenix Zoo for our wedding. The food was amazing. We had a tasting with them at a complimentary event at the zoo and fell in love with everything they had the offer.

    The day of the wedding, they had everything set up with no help needed from me. In fact, they could have gone the whole event without me noticing all of the setup and takedown they were doing. True professionals and good at their jobs!

    We had an amazing menu that included a bruschetta trio (awesome!), flank steak and a chicken breast, mushroom cavatapi, toasted potatoes, a veggie medley. Everything was phenomenal. So many comments from our guests about the quality of the food!

    The food was beyond wonderful. They were able to accommodate my guests with food allergies. The staff were wonderful to work with, especially Kaitlin who really went above and beyond to make our day special. I have nothing but glowingly positive things to say.

    Lancer Catering's reply:

    Thanks so much for the 5 stars! We were happy to accommodate all guest allergies as dietary restrictions and lifestyle choices are very important to us and our culinary team. Kaitlin enjoyed working with you and making sure everything ran according to plan. Thank you again for the great comments!

    Lancer catering did a phenomenal job at catering our wedding in June 2018 at Woodland Park Zoo from the initial planning meeting to the final event. I’ll admit, I am not the easiest person to work with and it was truly a pleasure to work with Lancer Catering. From the start, they were able to answer my questions, provide their own recommendations, and further provide detailed timelines and information that helped the big day go a lot smoother than anticipated. Their food was absolutely delicious, both on the tasting and the actual event. I received so many compliments from my guests that my wedding was one of the best weddings they have been to and I couldn’t have pulled it off without Lancer Catering. I highly recommend Lancer Catering at Woodland Park Zoo for any event, including a wedding as you will not be disappointed! I cannot say enough positive things about Lancer Catering.

    Cheron with Lancer catering was the most amazing person to work with. Having never planned a wedding before and trying to understand all that I needed, she was so helpful and accommodating. She always responded very promptly to any emails/calls with questions, concerns, etc. This food was literally "melt in your mouth" AMAZING! Our guests are still talking about it and it was a definite hit at our wedding. I am so glad I worked with Lancer. It was certainly worth every penny! Thank you, Cheron!!

    Lancer Catering's reply:

    Thanks so much for the 5 stars! Cheron was happy to answer your questions and help you plan your wedding day! We are so pleased to hear you and your guests loved the food and that they are still talking about it! Thank you for letting us cater your special day.

    My daughter and son-in-law celebrated there blessed wedding party at Keller Golf Course this passed Fall and it was a smashing success! The new clubhouse at Keller is truly a diamond in the Metro East Community. Our wedding party included 270 participants. And everyone had a great time. We were served steak, chicken, walleye, vegetarian dish and chicken drummies by the very capable Lancer Staff. The food was Fabulous. Later in the evening we treated are guest to pizza ( yum!). We used the patio at Keller for a cigar bar and lawn game area. The fireplace room was used for hors d'oevures and the beverage bar. The Ballroom, of course, was used for dinner and dancing. I want to give a special Thank you to Lindsey at Keller for all of her help, ideas, suggestion and enthusiasm for My daughters very, very special day. All expectations were meet and then some!!!

    I would 100% recommend the Como Zoo to anyone getting married! Mindy, who we worked with ahead of time was outstanding, more than flexible and helped guide us through an unknown situation. The night of the wedding, we had a FABULOUS evening! All of our guests did as well. There was compliment after compliment about the venue and how beautiful everything was; from the ceremony to the reception. Thank you so much to you and the entire Como staff for putting on such an unforgettable event! I am so glad we went with everything that we did. The food, location and staff were all amazing. We even had a penguin!!!

    We used Lancer Catering for our wedding on 5/15/15 at Como Zoo. Their food is amazing! We had the chicken, steak, and walleye. Everyone loved the food and said it was the best food they ever had at a wedding! I wish they had a restaurant so we could have their food more often, its that good!

    We originally went with a different caterer in the beginning due to cost. We found out later that our caterer we decided on, didnt book our date and didnt have enough staff to accommodate a fully served dinner that evening. We had already sent out our RSVP cards with the 2 food options: Grilled Serloin, rosemary potatoes and asparagus as well as a pineapple/ mango chicken with yukon gold potatoes and asparagus and were stuck with those food choices. We were leaving for Cabo Mexico in two weeks to get married and had no time to finalize with a new caterer. I contact Lancer Catering and spoke with Kate Wheelock. She quickly put bids and a taste test together with in the week for us. Our food options we sent out on the RSVP's were not available at Lancer Catering but the chef was willing to re-create our original menu. At the taste testing, the food was better than the taste testing at the original caterer! Besides the food, I had navy blue linens that were folded in a fleur de lis on the tables. Normally there is an upcharge for this and it was included with Lancer Catering. The day of the event, Kate Wheelock arrived to make sure every detail was perfect. Missy was the event coordinator onsite and went above and beyond catering to every guests needs ie: my daughter and her special food requests, some of the kids wanted to switch to steak and holding my food so that I could eat once things settled down. The wait staff were exceptional and very polite! Jefferson was very professional and exceeded our expectations. The overall experience with Lancer Catering was perfect. I highly recommend Lancer Catering to anyone one wants exceptional food, service and professional staff.

    We could not have asked for a more perfect caterer than Lancer Catering to cater our daughter's wedding reception. We worked with Cheron from beginning to end and she did a marvelous job of helping us with planning. She was quick to respond to voicemail messages and/or e-mails. The food was absolutely wonderful and the decorating was perfect. The ambiance was exactly what my daughter and son-in-law were going for - rustic but yet elegant. Dan, the on-site manager at the Lake Waconia Event Center was super. He had answers to all of our questions and went out of his way to make the reception perfect. Thank you Lancer Catering for a wonderful job.

    We want to thank you, everything was above our expectations of beautiful for our daughter’s wedding!
    Please thank your amazing set up staff, the area where we had the ceremony was perfect.
    Huge bravo to the decorating staff, the dinning area was exquisite, the table’s set so elegantly, we loved the area for the cake on display and Buttercream did a fabulous job with the cake, the candles on the table set so nice and the rose petals were added to the water and that extra touch was perfect please thank that wonderful lady for me who did all the set up and serving from Lancer.
    Saving the best for last, Lancer catering and staff, you are the best! The food was presented so beautifully, the flavor’s were out of this world wonderful. Everyone enjoyed there meals and raved about how good it was! I was so proud we chose Edinburgh and Lancer catering!
    I do not remember everyone's names, but the young lady that worked so hard with James to set up and serve the meals please let them know we appreciate there above and beyond care they took to make everything perfect.
    The wedding coordinator, please let her know I appreciate her calmness and how she made sure the flow of the ceremony to the end of the evening went just right. The attention to every detail was amazing to us.
    Last but not least, the bar tender. He was personable, everyone enjoyed talking to him and the single ladies said they spent way to much on drinks just to visit with him. He was great.
    Everyone at the Edinburgh, beginning with the first meeting to the end of the evening made our daughters dream wedding come true.

    We had our wedding at Edinburgh golf course, and cannot say enough good things about the help we had while planning our wedding and the service we had during our ceremony and reception. We worked with Cheron who helped us every step of the way towards our wedding. She helped us stay on top of things, and helped organize to make sure everything ran smoothly. We had great service at our ceremony and everything was ready when it was supposed to be. We also received numerous complements on the food, it was delicious. Highly recommend!

    We had our wedding at Keller Golf Course in Maplewood, MN and our experience with Lancer was great! We began the process with Cookie from Lancer and when she was promoted to another position, we worked with Lyndsey. We thought both were an absolute pleasure to work with! Communication prior to the event was excellent and I loved that they were willing to work within our tight budget. In addition, they were able to give us good suggestions and advice throughout the whole wedding planning process and promptly address any questions or concerns that came up. The night of the event and in the week following, I received many compliments from guests on the food, decor, and venue. Overall it was a wonderful experience!

    Lancer Catering especially when the time came closer to the wedding really were proactive in making sure things ran smoothly which I appreciated. The catering manager paid attention to every detail, and I appreciated that they were accommodating to make sure there were a few chicken dishes served that did not have bacon on it for some of my guests for religious reasons. The staff that day were very amiable , looked like they were enjoying what they were doing and were attentive.

    Lancer catered my daughter's wedding recently, and we couldn't have been more pleased! The servers were professional, friendly and made our guests feel pampered! The food was superb--we received many positive comments--especially on the berry salad! It was beautiful AND delicious! Thank you Lancer for making this event special for all!!!!

    We did breakfast for dinner, and they came up with some of the greatest options. They really helped us stay in our budget and helped us keep everything at $20/person. They had a promotion for a free wedding cake from buttercream for the entire wedding!!! it was AMAMZING and we got a 5 tier $700 cake for free, it was incredible!

    Working with Lancer Catering was a great experience. From the start they were so helpful and accommodating. Fitting our initial consult and a tasting into the limited time we had available. During the whole process they were available to answer questions and were willing to make changes as we needed. No request was too crazy. The food was excellent. The people we worked with we friendly and professional. The reception was everything we had hoped for and more. We would definitely work with them again.

    The food was wonderful as is the staff. Lancer has a huge food variety to choose from. We decided on 3 meals for our guests to pick from and it seemed to be a success. People LOVED the walleye, the chicken was great with the wonderful mash-potatoes and we were able to offer a vegetarian option as well.

    The staff was amazing as well. Prior to the wedding our catering managers were great and responded quickly to emails and questions. During the wedding, the wait staff went beyond what I expected, bringing the bridal party cocktail drinks and starters to where we were taking pictures!

    I had multiple wait staff approach me during the wedding as well asking how things were going and if we needed anything or if they could do something better. They were amazing and I'm so happy with our service at Como Zoo with Lancer Catering.

    Even though the catering company is part of the venue, the food was great. Chip Venzone was able to coordinate everything we wanted. He was our coordinator for everything at the aquarium, so we didn't have to worry about trying to contact different people for details, questions, or changes.

    Lancer Catering provided a wonderful buffet for my wedding. They offered more food for less cost than at least a dozen other catering companies I checked into. They had a large menu and even had a vegetarian section, which most companies did not. They easily accommodated my wishes for our vegan & vegetarian buffet and it all looked and tasted great. The food was amazing and we received a lot of compliments from our guests about the food.
