Allison P. Married on 06/04/2022Great food and staff!
LMR staff and team did an amazing job catering my wedding! Not only was the food delicious, but they were very accommodating and flexible during the planning process. During the wedding, the servers and bartenders went above and beyond, even breaking down the head table so that we could open up the area for dancing. Not only that, one of the servers held back our late night snack so that I would be able to enjoy some! We were very impressed with their level of detail and professionalism and would recommend to anyone planning a wedding! -

Chloe H. Married on 10/11/2019Delicious Dinner and Excellent Clean-up!
We hired our bartenders and catering staff/food through LMR for our wedding and couldn’t be happier. The food was delicious, the drinks were cold, and the staff was so great to work with! Highly recommend! -

Melinda Married on 06/01/2019Fantastic Food and Service!
Wonderful food and excellent service!! It just couldn’t have been better! The food was delicious (carved roast beef , marinated chicken breast, vegetable penne, ravioli Florentine with twice baked potatoes, green bean almondine, garden salad and rolls, and more!). We received sooo many compliments on the food and the servers were wonderful and engaging! Excellent choice for our wedding reception!!! -

Molly Married on 10/14/2017The food and service on our wedding day was amazing. I could not of been happier. I would highly recommend. -
User2629771 2+ years agoLMR was responsive, professional, and their food was delicious!! We had a great tasting, and really loved Molly and her food. They provided food for cocktail hour, buffet dinner, and 2 bartenders for our wedding. The staff was great and the whole process went very well. Hands down the best wedding food according to our guests. We also had the LMR staff stick around for clean-up at our venue, and they did an excellent job since we received our deposit back. -
User994170 2+ years agoFor our backyard fall wedding we had a hog roast for pulled pork sandwiches along with some turkey breasts and 3 different barbeque sauces, green beans, sweet potatos, corn on the cob, and a few varieties of mac 'n' cheese... it was all a huge hit! We received many compliments and the food was all cooked to perfection! My favorite was the blue cheese mac'n'cheese although the buffalo mac'n'cheese was a second favorite. I will use them again and highly suggest them for a hog roasting event! Yum Yum. Wish we had leftovers! It was devoured by the time the dancing began! -
User2337765 2+ years agoFor our summer barn wedding, we had pork and pulled chicken with mac n cheese, veggies, and bread. We also did cheese tray, nacho bar, chicken wrapped in bacon and shrimp cocktail for our appetizers. It was all a hit! We received many compliments and the food was all cooked to perfection! The only thing is that we did not receive a mac n cheese bar like we asked. It was just a platter of Mac n Cheese. The staff before the wedding was great to work with and the servers were amazing! They set up and then had to move inside real fast because of rain and they did a great job! I will use them again for sure and highly recommend!

Destiny B. Married on 04/29/2022Yummy Eats, Incredible Bartending, Good Comms, But Where's the Cake?
LMR is highly recommended by The Estate at Sunset Farm and they had many affordable and tasty options, so they were a quick choice.
Our tasting was a good experience and very informative. Their website can be a little difficult to work with, but pricing and details can be worked out through proposal iterations in emails pretty easily following your tasting.
Note: Think hard about fine China or plastic - for 85 guests, using real China would have meant an extra ~$700, as there are more costs (both fixed and variable) to figure in than just the plates and silverware when going that route.
Leading up to the big day, Maryah was helpful in clarifying some things and asking questions. She was prompt and relatively thorough, and definitely flexible (e.g., she worked with us and our timeline to make sure salads were preset in the back and handed out at just the right time, and used our to go boxes for leftover desserts).
On our wedding day, we felt the food was a solid 8/10. The two-point ding is we heard by the time one of the last tables got up to the buffet, things were getting cold, and the roasted vegetables could have used some crisping and maybe a little more salt. Overall, great, though.
Our bartender, provided through LMR, was next level. Jeff was amiable, upbeat, very accommodating, and incredibly prepared. We forgot orange juice for mimosas? Jeff had us covered. We ran out of sour mix during the night? Jeff's got extra in his car.
Our advice when working with LMR is to always be very specific in all instructions, especially in cake serving. Our cake was initially intended for just the wedding party, but we soon learned that a tray was being taken around the dancefloor. Upon seeing this, our coordinator asked me if we were okay with more of the cake being served since we had SO much of it, and I said yes. But soon after, both the coordinator and I learned the entire top layer was served and my husband and I got not a single bite of it. Given the tradition of preserving the top layer for anniversaries, it seemed unprofessional for this to have been done. Not a huge deal, but knowing how good our bottom layer of cake was (from Tres Belle Cakery), I'm personally sad I didn't get any.
Our second suggestion, is if there is any leftover food for the couple to take home, request you get some of the sauces and dips, because otherwise you might not. 😅
LMR is a good choice, and you'll be happy with your decision if you're explicit in instructions and just as kind to them as they are to you.
PS. Deeeefinetly get the clean up package. We were out of our venue at lightning speed and didn't have to worry about a thing.👌 -

Amber Married on 09/29/2018The staff was professional and the food was okay
Overall, the staff was professional and the food was okay. Every time I communicated with our caterer, I spoke with or met someone different which allowed room for errors such as not providing a vegetarian dish for one of my bridesmaids which was discussed with at least two different people. The chicken and tenderloin was dry and did not taste like it did when we went for a tasting. I barely ate any meat at my wedding. However, the mac and cheese is great. I would not choose LMR catering again to cater an event. For the money spent, we expected higher quality and better communication.Little Miami River Catering's reply:
Hi Amber
I am sorry that your experience was not up to our normal standards. We work to provide exceptional service along with a wonderful meal. I hate that neither scored that way in your book. The office transition was the reason for dealing with multiple people during the planning of your reception. We tried to make it seamless for all our brides but fell short with you. I am really sorry. Mediocre food is also not a norm for us! I am very shocked to read this part. I wish I would have discussed this with you sooner. We do hope the best for you and are sincerely sorry your experience was not perfect! Thanks for the review
