    Brunch Reception

    My husband and I love breakfast food, and we were so excited to host a brunch reception featuring all of our favorites! Marigold prepared a brunch buffet catered to our tastes and the dietary needs of our guests. There were a few changes in staffing throughout the planning process (we worked with three different people from beginning to end), yet we experienced no interruption in the planning or communication. We were impressed because everything went so smoothly despite the changes. We initially selected Marigold because of their efficient communication compared to other companies, and given the changes that happened we were so glad we made that choice. Marigold is worth the investment because you will receive quality service in return. Our guests enjoyed the unique menu, and we were happy to work with a caterer that was as excited about brunch as we were (are)!

    The entire process of working with Marigold was fantastic. Katie was our event planner and she was incredibly professional, kind, enthusiastic, and reassuring. All of the food served at our wedding was hot, fresh, and on time. Katie and all of the servers were organized and efficient with both the passed hors d'oeuvres and our buffet. They were also incredibly caring and went the extra mile. My husband and I didn't have a lot of chances to eat hors d'oeuvres during the cocktail hour, but the lead waitress, Brenda, left us two plates of hors d'oeuvres at our seats at our head table. She also made sure we got slices of our cake since we were on our dance floor while it was served, and she brought both of us water throughout the night. They even boxed extra meals and delivered them to our bridal suite! And the food is delicious; everyone's plate was clean at the end of dinner! So many of our guests told us we had the best food of any wedding they've been to. Our experience with Marigold left us full, happy, and stress free!

    Unbelievable Food, Professional Planning, Upscale Dinner Service!

    I’m very tardy in writing this well overdue review – My husband and I were married in September 2017, but it still feels like yesterday, thanks in part to Marigold! Heather was our main contact at Marigold and she was a rock star with the coordination and execution of everything! Their tasting experience was so much fun for my family and their chefs are INCREDIBLE!!! They were willing to customize parts of our meal selection, even adding a pasta course and creating unique dishes that were delicious! Heather took on so much for us in the planning phase including ordering the correct table sizes, finding the perfect serving vessels that went with our theme, meeting with us multiple times upon our request, doing and re-doing floor plans, coordinating details with our venue contact, planning deliveries with our bakery, and all the other behind-the-scenes tasks that I’m sure I’m not even aware of. On site the day before the ceremony, the Marigold staff was incredible. They worked so efficiently and had the room set exactly the way we planned and pictured it. We received so many compliments on the serving staff and the service was so incredibly smooth – Their professionalism made the dinner feel very upscale! We received INCREDIBLE feedback from friends and family on the quality of their food, which is a big deal from a big group of food-critical Italians! I would very highly recommend Marigold for any catering need!

    We chose Glidden House for our venue and thankfully Marigold is their caterer. The food was amazing and they were very accommodating. Our contact happened to be on maternity leave up until a week before our wedding. That made for some tight squeezing in of finalizing the wedding and put preparations back. Thankfully the tasting and arrangements had been made earlier in the year, so we only needed to settle on final information and choices. Make sure you, the caterer contact, and the venue are on all on the same page when it comes to timing of the evening. We had a last minute surprise when our venue told us they only offer 5 hours and we had scheduled 6 with Marigold! The staff and chefs made our reception dinner a truly great experience and we could not have asked for more (or better!).

    Food was OUTSTANDING!!!! They offered a tasting prior to the event that allowed us to personalize our selections. They offer a wide variety of choices and Katie Korte is absolutely amazing to work with. We had our wedding at Glidden House and both work very well together. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!

    We would recommend Marigold Catering to anyone with catering needs, especially a wedding! We worked with Katie Korte and our venue was the Ballroom at Park Lane. Katie worked closely with Sara at Park Lane and the two of them made absolutely everything easier for us. Our tasting provided a chance to tweak the menu and my husband got a chance to talk to their chef personally (chef to chef). We made a few other last minute changes and Marigold handled it all with ease. The food was delicious, our guests LOVED everything. Katie worked with our baker to set up the dessert table, worked with the bar staff to make sure we had everything we needed and helped set up and tear down so we didn't have to worry about a thing. The price was reasonable for the service and the quality of the food. I have zero complaints, I wish I could have them cook me dinner every night!

    We were fortunate to have Marigold Catering as the exclusive caterer offered by Severance Hall, which we were informed of on our initial site visit. In reviewing the materials provided, we were quite impressed with what Marigold had to offer and looked forward to working with them to plan the menu for our wedding.
    If I could give Vicki Hlousek (Severance Hall is her venue) TEN stars I would - she was AWESOME! Dealing with a stressed out, stretched thin, relatively indifferent bride must be quite difficult, but Vicki always made me feel like I wasn't a pain in the rear (although I'm sure I was). She was professional from our first conversation and when we finally met her for our tasting, we knew that we had a great person to work with. She managed expectations up front and worked with the chefs to accommodate our requests for a multi-ethnic cuisine. Vicki also served as our day-of coordinator and it was a huge help to have someone who knows the venue so well.
    The food from Marigold is hands down some of the best reception food I've ever eaten. I love that they use locally sourced, seasonal items and they plan ahead to give you an idea of what to expect for when your event is scheduled. Everything we tasted was delicious and we actually had a difficult time narrowing down our choices for both cocktail hour and the reception. After the ceremony, our pictures took a little long, which led to the cocktail hour being extended, which led to dinner being served later than anticipated...so some guests received cold salmon. But overall, the guests really enjoyed their food and were very complimentary of their apps, salads and entrees.
    If you have the opportunity to book Marigold on your own, definitely consider them. They work with all budgets and were very open being creative/flexible with menu planning. If the venue that you select uses Marigold exclusively, that's just an added bonus for you.

    Marigold is a little more expensive but worth every penny. The food was amazing, hot, and tasty. The staff worked closely with me to get every detail perfect. None of my guests left hungry even those with special diets and religious restrictions. Several guests asked me for their name after the wedding for their up coming events.

    We utilized Marigold for catering our wedding. Our wedding was vintage carnival themed - during cocktail hour we had mini funnel cake sticks and mini grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato soup as appetizers! For dinner, we had stations including sliders, french fries, nachos, fried chicken, and more! Dessert included a massive brownie bar. Everyone said the food was amazing and it definitely helped make our theme come together! The staff of Marigold were extremely professional and helpful. They even guarded my water while I hit the dance floor! I couldn't have asked for better service.

    Working with Marigold Catering was an amazing experience. We worked with Gitta and Amber for our reception and we couldn't have asked for better service, food and more. Marigold was the only caterer we contacted that was willing to work within our budget, follow our vision, provide creative and relevant advice and expertise. I heartily recommend Marigold catering.

    We loved Marigold! We loved MOCA as the venue! Our event manager helped us plan the perfect wedding, down to the smallest detail. The food was amazing and our donut wall turned out great!

    It was a pleasure working with Katie at Marigold. She was flexible and always willing to work with us. The reception turned out beautiful and the food was good. My only complaint is pricing. It is not the biggest bang for your buck but they did give us all the left over food. Which makes you feel a little better :-) We chose the 3901 Marigold location and received many compliments on the venue and reception experience as a whole. The staff were great and very attentive to the head table and guest alike.

    We really liked the food that we selected from the very vast menu Marigold had to offer. The only problem we had was a few menu items under went minor changes in the kitchen and we were not informed. Fortunately these changes were for the better but, that was just blind luck. The service was very professional and the presentation quality exceptional. There was some difficulty initially dealing with them but in the end they pulled through.

    Everything was going smoothly until about halfway through dinner service. We had a buffet setup and people seemed like they were getting enough food. However my mom informed me that the roasted vegetable platter was empty and they were running out of the chicken. Not good. They assured us that there would be plenty of food.

    Also, at the tasting we tried the chicken Florentine, a chicken breast stuffed with spinach and cheese. It was delicious. Our event planner told us they would cut the breasts in half so it will go further. However, at the reception the chicken turned out to be small chunks of chicken floating in a soupy green sauce. We were not happy that they changed this without informing us.

    Because of this they agreed to take a little off the final bill.
