    Best food ever!

    We weren't able to do any tastings so we went into it fully trusting reviews. Seriously some of the best food we've had at a wedding. Class act service and great communication the whole time!

    Great 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!

    Amazing!!!

    Typically not big on writing reviews but this one deserves it! Food was even better at event than the tasting. Guests said we had the best wedding food they have ever had. Even better than one wedding that cost $50 a plate. Helpings were large and enough food for guests to go back for seconds. Staff was super helpful with setup and tear down. Price was great and worth every penny. Worry free and overall a great experience! Would recommend to anyone.

    Delicious 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!

    Fantastic 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!!!

    Working with Little Miami Catering for our wedding was excellent. From the beginning they were more responsive than any other vendor I had reached out to. They were willing to customize a menu for our special day at a lower price than most. Upon taste testing, I had made a few suggestions and the day of the wedding those suggestions were executed. I received several compliments from my guests on the potatoes and chicken and the appetizer presentation was beautiful. Thank you so much for helping to make our day perfect!

    The food was amazing and the staff did a great job. They were cleaned up and out ahead of schedule so we weren't waiting around for them at the end of the night so we could leave.

    I cannot say enough great things about LMR, Molly and Matt. They catered my daughters wedding and it was amazing. Food was awesome, they were very accommodating down to how I wanted my grandmas green beans :). We had a whole hog, turkey, cheesy potatoes, green beans, and salad. We had more than a couple people tell us hands down best wedding food ever! Their staff is awesome and worked all night long to ensure the reception was smooth and a great success. Thanks to Molly and Matt for helping make Chelsea's day so special.

    LMR 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.

    For 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!

    Absolutely wonderful! I was very pleased with LMR catering. On the day if the wedding, I did not have to worry about anything! My entire venue was set well before the ceremony. They even helped put up our decorations that we brought ourselves. They did forget to bring a special meal for me because I have an allergy, which was not a huge deal at the end of the day since I waS too worked up to eat any ways.

    For 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!

    Yummy 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.👌

    My daughter decided on southern fare, and LMR was the best tasting experience we had, so we went with them.
    The food was good the night of, and the staff was professional. I paid the extra amt for complete cleanup afterwards, and that was well worth the fee. The only thing that needs improvement is response when waiting for a call back. I know that they are SO BUSY, because they are just that good. But responsiveness to messages left need to have a quicker turn around, but that would not deter me from hiring them again.

    LMR did a fine job. The food was pretty good and just what we asked for. I wouldn't say it was the greatest meal of all time, but it certainly was pretty good for wedding food. Molly can be a bit difficult to get ahold of sometimes. You will often wait a bit to get a response via email and often have to call & remind her of things. But, overall, she is great. She is willing to sit with you, let you try whatever you'd like, and will modify your menu until it meets your liking and your budget. I have zero complaints about LMR - staff was professional & food was just fine.
