Highly recommend!

Working with Carlos to plan our daughter's wedding was wonderful! He is professional, flexible and quick to respond. The variety of the menu is expansive, making it easy to reflect the personality of the couple and everything we chose was delicious!!! Planning a wedding during a pandemic is stressful but working with Carlos made the experience much less so. Thanks Marna's!! We will definitely work with you again!

From a Wedding Planner, HIRE Marna's

I have worked with so many caterers in my time working in events and Marna's will always be in my top list of favorites for a few different reasons: Quality, Value, Communication, Kindness and Collaboration. It is incredibly important to have a partner that you can lean on and trust to take care of your clients and make sure guests are happy and have full bellies. And that is Marnas to a T!

Incredible service helped to make the day special

Marnas catering was incredibly professional, respectful, and talented. They worked with us to customize certain elements of their service, they were flexible and calm in their setup at a private residence, the food was plated beautifully and was delicious - we couldn't have asked for a more wonderful experience.

Marna's Took Care of Everything!

We are so grateful we had Marna's cater our event! From menu planning to delivery, they made everything so easy. The staff was a joy to work with and we felt supported throughout the entire process. At an event where there tends to be multiple details to worry about, we did not have to worry about the food. They took care of everything! I did not think the food would be the one thing I would become most emotional about (in a good way) on such a happy day, but Marna's came through in a big way for us when we ended up with more guests than we originally planned. The portions on our buffet were so generous, we easily fed all our guests and the food was absolutely delicious. We received so many compliments on the food! It was a highlight of the event. We cannot thank Marna's Catering enough for helping make our day a success!

Wedding Caterer

Marna’s catered our wedding on July 1st. Everything was better than I could’ve imagined! Many guests commented on how much they enjoyed the food. The service was wonderful. Andrea and Jeremy were so friendly and helpful through our entire process. I would highly recommend Marna’s to anyone looking for a caterer!!

Marnas Catering's reply:

Kayla - You are absolutely the sweetest! Thank you so much for the kind words - You were awesome to work with. CONGRATULATIONS again on your wedding. Thank you, Andrea

Wonderful wedding catering!

We had a great time working with the staff at Marna's for our wedding! They communicated very well when we were planning and maintained great communication even when my husband and I decided to add last minute appetizers and request vegan hot dogs for our late-night snack. Everyone loved the food-we had family style- and they were such a pleasure to work with!

Marnas Catering's reply:

Awww! Thank you Amber! This is so sweet! Your wedding was beautiful and I was so glad to be a part of it! :) Congratulations again! Andrea, Marna's Catering

Fantastic meal

My wife and I cannot say enough good things about Marna's! After our first tasting and consultation we were sold. Food is absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced. They have so many choices to fit anyone's tastes. Do yourself a favor and put the truffle mashed potatoes on your event menu. On top of the food, Carlos and Andrea were awesome to work and plan with. All in all Marna's was an excellent experience for our wedding!

Marnas Catering's reply:

Awww, Steven! Thank you! This is such a wonderful note to receive. We LOVED working with you two! CONGRATULATIONS again on your wedding. I am so glad everything went so great! :) Thank you, Andrea - Marna's Catering Sales & Events Manager

Professional and delicious catering!

We used Marna’s catering for our wedding this weekend and they were excellent. From the communication with Carlos to plan out our menu, our event captain Jeremy, to the delicious food - everything was top-notch.

The tasting was good, but the actual food served at the wedding was phenomenal. We had the Caesar salads, prime rib, Lizano chicken and truffle mashed potatoes and it was all amazing.

Highly recommend for your next event!

Marna’s Catering

We used Marna’s for our wedding. Carlos did an amazing job and was so great at communicating, especially with all of the changes with COVID-19.

The food was delicious and all of our guests loved it!

The staff were so nice and helpful throughout the evening.

Cannot recommend Marna’s enough for future couples/weddings or events!

Perfect Experience!

Marna's was easily one of the best decisions we made throughout our wedding planning process. Carlos was absolutely fantastic to work with every step of the way. He is incredibly thorough and organized and he made the process seamless for me and my husband. He was so understanding and made planning a wedding during a pandemic as easy as he could. Our tasting was wonderful but the food at our wedding was even better than I remember!! Our wedding guests RAVED about how great the food was and they were very eager to go up for seconds. We have zero complaints about Marna's. We are beyond thrilled with their team and how perfect they made our wedding day!

Delicious wedding food and responsive catering team!

We highly recommend Marna’s Catering for your event! We hired Marna’s Catering for our wedding in September 2018 at the Three Rivers Park District Silverwood Park in St. Anthony. The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff were wonderful to work with from the moment we started planning all the way until our wedding day.

Before selecting Marna’s, we met with 5+ vendors for tastings. We selected Marna’s because their food was so high-quality and had fresh ingredients, had such a good flavor, was beautifully presented, was a good value, and provided guests with something a little more unique and memorable than a traditional vendor.

We had approximately 200 people at our wedding and catered with Marna’s for appetizers and a buffet dinner. We had a number of guests with specific dietary needs, and Marna’s was more than willing to customize to meet the needs of our guests. The Marna’s wedding coordinator, Carlos, was incredibly responsive in communications, and all of the Marna’s staff we encountered during the planning process and on our wedding day were professional and friendly.

We are so glad we hired Marna’s for our wedding and can’t recommend them highly enough!

Absolutely amazing!

First of all, Carlos was so helpful and responded really quickly to any questions we had along the way... I developed a dairy intolerance from stress during our wedding planning and they we're so easy to work with to exclude dairy from all of the meals so I was able to eat without being scared of getting sick. They we're so helpful and the food was delicious. Everyone seemed thrilled with how good and flavorful everything was that day. The staff was also really great and did a tremendous job the day of. I highly recommend them for your upcoming wedding.

Perfect Summer Wedding Caterer

We couldn't have been happier with Marna's as our wedding caterer. From start to finish, Carlos was accessible, accommodating, and professional. Our tasting was intimate and amazing. We loved the options on the menu, and the pricing was reasonable, especially considering the “extras” included in the cost like linens and a carved watermelon! We received many compliments on the quality and taste of the food on our big day, and were very happy with how easy they made the appetizers and buffet dinner work. We secured Felicia as our Day-Of Coordinator, and she was an absolute LIFESAVER - she helped us out SO MUCH and made everything go so smoothly leading up to, during, and after our reception. Overall, we would go with them again for sure, and would absolutely recommend them to anyone.

Marnas Catering

Carlos from Marnas is exceptional to work with! We loved creating our menu with him and he truly made us feel like part of the Marnas family. Being a blended family from the US and Costa Rica, it was so special to have Marnas cater our wedding! We were able to select food options for our buffet to create a tasty "casado". The food was delicious, and it was so special to be able to highlight comida tica to family and friends who have not had Costa Rica food before, and for our Costa Rican family to see Costa Rican food front and center on our wedding day. We can't recommend Marnas enough!!

Marnas Catering's reply:

Jessica & Daniel - we were SO honored to be part of your very special day. Thank you for having us and letting us share our favorite cuisine with your guests. I loved working with you and I was so happy I made it on time to your wedding to say hi! Congratulations again

"Best wedding food I've ever had!!"

I can honestly say that Marna's was HIGHLY praised as the best wedding food our guests have ever had. That meant everything to me because not only was the food great, Carlos and the entire Marna's team was a dream to work with both behind the scenes and on our special day. Trust them, they know what they are doing and they will make sure you are highly satisfied.

Delicious food!

Marna’s Catering was one of the caterers on our venue’s preferred vendor list, and we were so happy to see them there! They had catered my sister’s wedding the year before, so we already knew their food was delicious. We did our research though, and compared them against other caterers on the list, and in the end Marna’s won out for taste and quality, as well as for pricing and value. We worked with Carlos and he made the planning process so easy for us- super responsive and always willing to answer any and all questions we had! They were also able to accommodate some last minute vegan meal requests. Our guests loved the food, and the servers were very friendly. Thank you Marna’s!

Marna's Catering January Wedding

We went with Marna's Catering for our January wedding and we are so happy that we did! We did a buffet with two entrees options, the raspberry chicken and the almond-thyme crusted walleye. Both we're delicious. One of the side choices, the garlic mashed potatoes, we're especially great! We received many compliments from guests regarding the meal. This was an excellent value for the cost and it was incredibly easy to communicate with the team. Thank you Carlos a d everyone at Marna's Catering!

Wonderful Food and Service!

We could not be happier with Marna's Catering! We planned our MN wedding from Seattle, and Marna's made everything so easy and stress-free. We corresponded over email primarily with Carlos, and he was responsive, friendly, and extremely helpful! He worked around our crazy schedules so that we could do a tasting while we were in MN for Thanksgiving. Marna's worked seamlessly with our other vendors and the food was wonderful! So happy that we chose them for our day!

Couldn’t ask for more!

Truly can’t say enough about Carlos and the rest of the Marna’s team! From our first meeting, I knew we were in good hands and I wouldn’t have to stress. He was so responsive to my changes and questions, organized, and always made me feel like a priority. I was indecisive on what type of meal we wanted (stations vs duet) and he agreed to meet with us a second time to walk through all options and make us feel comfortable with our decision. Not only was the service incredible, but the food was raved about by our guests! Any time you have to feed that many guests (185), it’s challenging to make sure everything is up to the highest standard- but Marna’s overdelivered and the food was wonderful! Marna’s is truly a class act and the perfect trifecta of great service, great food, and reasonable pricing. Highly recommend!

Exceptional service, food, and presentation!

Wow - where do I begin! Marna's Catering was absolutely incredible. Everything from our first tasting to the big day, we were blown away with their amazing service and food. We met Rolando for our first tasting and had an amazing night! It was hard to pick which dishes we wanted since everything was so good. Carlos helped us leading up to the wedding on the day of and he is FANTASTIC! He answered our many many questions, and was so helpful in working with us on our ideas and requests. The day of was so incredibly smooth - and us and the guests could not stop raving about how good the food was, especially the yummy mash potatoes. Not to mention, the display of the food itself was gorgeous. We did Family Style and could not recommend this enough - it was so fast and efficient! Also their fruit carving they provide is amazing and such a nice & unique touch to their delivery! Overall, we are beyond ectastic from the amazing service we received from Marna's and would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone!

I can't say enough great things about Marna's! We tasted at three different caterers and Marna's won us over with the amazing food, service and reasonable price! Our guests raved about the food and we still continue to receive comments on how delicious, hot and fresh our food selection was. An added bonus was Marna's food truck that we used for our late night snacks! It was a huge hit with our guest and such a fun feature to add to our big day. From the first tasting through the entire planning process, Nicole and Carlos were so great to work with - they were both quick to respond to any emails and questions. I would highly recommend Marna's to anyone who is looking for delicious food and a professional friendly staff for your event.

Marna's Catering catered our wedding on May 12, 2018 and what a great experience it was! We worked with Nicole to plan and with Carlos to execute the day. We served a family-style meal for 225 people including chardonnay chicken, cap sirloin steak, lemon zest asparagus, and truffle mashed potatoes (oh my gooodness...those mashed potatoes).

Carlos was so accommodating! We ended up needing one extra vegetarian meal, which he whipped up on the fly. We also had two unexpected children for dinner and he was able to calmly figure out what to do.

Overall, Marna's Catering was a wonderful, affordable, unique, and delicious addition to our wedding day. All of our guests raved about the meal and the family-style service! We also loved their watermelon carving (two crossed hockey sticks with our initials) and fruit display, options for food, and openness to ideas to make our day perfect!

Thank you!!

Marna's is outstanding! We were wedding planning from out of state, therefore, needed a caterer who was reputable, reliable, and would provide an incredible meal. Ultimately chose Marna's because they were a great value and after conversations felt they would meet our expectations. A personal meal testing was set up to accommodate our travel timelines and the selections were amazing! Marna's was able to accommodate any of our needs on day of and provided an excellent meal. Thank you so much!

We were so excited for our guests to have the meal provided by Marna's Catering, and they did not disappoint. I would hire them again for any event - the food was wonderful, we got many options to choose from, they were priced right per plate for our intimate wedding, and the service was spectacular. Can't say enough - we will absolutely hire Marna's again for the next event when we need a caterer.

OMG. The best!! We used Marna's Catering for our Rehearsal dinner and it was incredible. They cooked on site, supplied all the table cloths and dishes, we're so easy to work and the food was absolutely delicious. People still talk about how amazing it was! I highly recommend using Marna's for any event you need catering. We will definitely be using them again!

Nicole was wonderful to work with and allowed us to do more than one tasting after my fiance moved back from out of state. Everyone complimented our food at the wedding! I seriously am in love with their mashed potatoes myself. The fact that they cook on-site made a real difference. Nicole also recommended a vendor for our cake and cupcakes and worked with our bartender the night of the wedding to provide seamless service.

Marnas was awesome! I had a hard time finding a caterer for our wedding because it seemed like all menus were the same - until I found Marnas. We loved their options, their pricing, and how easy they were to work with (thanks Nicole!). Everyone enjoyed the food (literally EVERYONE commented on the mashed potatoes), and it was fabulous to have flatware, plates, coffee, and cake cutting all included in our passed apps/buffet set up. We had one slip up (our plate chargers were nowhere to be found), but in the end, that detail did not matter at all. I'd definitely recommend them!

I cannot say enough about Marnas Catering. The food was amazing and the people were GREAT to work with. Our guests kept coming up to me all night talking about how good the food was. It wasn't "wedding food" it was actually good food!! Marnas was always on top of everything and was profession, very responsive, and helpful any time I had a question or concern. The food you try in the tasting is exactly what you get at your wedding. It is delicious and a great value. Thank you, thank you, thank you for helping us have the most perfect day we could have dreamed of!!

We came across Marna's as one of the approved vendors at our site, a park within the Three Rivers Park District. Marna's was the 4th or 5th tasting we did and we were quickly blown away by them. Their prices were about midway of all the approved vendors, but the taste was the best, not to mention unique, and therefore they were an easy decision. We had about 150-200 guests so we went with a few passed appetizers, and a buffet dinner with two entrees. They were very flexible and offered great service and inspiration when it came to the menu options. Communication was very smooth throughout the whole process. They arrived when they said they would, and everything exceeded expectations. Apps were delicious, the dinner was just as we remembered, and our guests as well as us got a great kick out of the fruit carving. The only thing I wish could be different was their new warehouse address actually being posted on their website. It was very easy to get it from them, however, there were a few times I needed it, and had to spend some time looking up previous emails/texts, so it would've been nice to have that on their website. They have been renovating, so I don't see that by any means as a reflection, just something that would help for the future. All in all, Marna's was a wonderful caterer and great to have on our big day. Thank you so much Marna's!! We would recommend you to anyone.

We loved working with Marna's Catering. We planned everything remotely, but did have one in person meeting with Rolando. He was so accommodating about meeting us when we were in town. Marna's food was delicious, but the best part about Marna's is the transparent pricing. We felt like most caterers have extra charges for coffee, dishes, linens, tips, cutting cake, etc. With Marna's almost everything is included with the price of dinner. So when you compare Marna's to other places make sure to write out the full cost with everything included. That's when you will realize that Marna's provides great food and service at a really reasonable price. Finally we were able to use Liquid Motion for our alcohol serving, which Rolando from Marna's put us in touch with. This company was very flexible and reasonably priced and I'm not sure we would have found them without booking Marna's.

I could not give Marna's Catering anything but a *glowing* review. For starters, Rolando is an incredibly warm individual who wants to deliver a creative and couple-specific menu for your wedding. Rolando's flexibility and responsiveness are noteworthy within the wedding food industry.

I had met with a couple other caterers who only wanted to give me a canned wedding menu that was generic in every way. I am a self-proclaimed foodie and rarely enjoy any wedding food. Obviously I could be biased but I can honestly say the food that Marna's was able to serve was all around delicious and visually appealing to beat. Marna's wants to deliver an experience that is unique, fresh and tasty!

Our wedding had to be relocated two weeks prior to the date and Rolando was more than accommodating and kind as we had to revise the food plan. He was empathetic to the scenario and more than welling to help ease the burden of the last minute change as needed. I would highly recommend Marna's Catering on all accounts!

When I think of food at a wedding, I get bored. We knew with our wedding that we wanted to do something different and fun. When I first met Rolondo from Marna's Catering, I knew this was going to be the guy. He was genuine, friendly, always made time for us and our never ending questions....but most of all the food was next level! You want to wow people at your wedding with the food? You go with Marnas. Food that is made from scratch and with authentic flavors passed down through his family. We were blown away by the food and the time he spent with us. He genuinely cares and you are not just a number to him. You will know everything that I'm talking about once you sit down for a taste test and look over the menu!

Rolando and his team are the best. The food was amazing! We ended up having two tastings with them because we had a hard time deciding what we wanted, and because we loved everything we tried! We ended up serving food that we didn't even taste test beforehand because we trusted them that much. Unique food, so much flavor! We've gotten many compliments! If there is something that you want and don't see it on the menu, ask! They definitively came across as genuinely wanting to make the client happy/ give us what we wanted. And the fruit carving was an adorable addition.

We hired Marna's Catering for our wedding (May 2016 - 120 guests) and they did a fantastic job. They went above and beyond from the first time we had a tasting with them to the conclusion of our wedding evening. The food was delicious and the presentation was spot on. Rolando and Nicole were both very personal with us and were very quick to answer emails and phone calls with the many questions that I was able to come up with. The moment I knew I'd be hiring them was at the tasting when I could hear Rolando chopping up food in the kitchen. My husband and I love to cook and pay close attention to where our ingredients come from; we could tell Rolando has the same passion about cooking and food as we do. Marna's Catering is a local, dedicated, family owned business and I absolutely recommend hiring them for your event.

Marnas was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Rolando was extremely accommodating and helped relieve a lot of stress with venue and last second menu changes! The food was amazing; we received compliments from just about every guest on the appetizers and immense selection! I would recommend Marnas for any event, and we hope to be able to do business with them again in the future!

I would love to give Rolando, Nicole and the whole team at Marna's Catering more than 5 stars if I could!
Planning: We had a more casual wedding reception and Rolando worked with us on creating a delightful appetizer menu that would be enough to please everyone and for them all to get their fill. We were doing our own setup so they arranged to let us pick up the linens the night before so we would have plenty of time the next day. When we arrived back after getting ready the team had it all under control and everything went off without a hitch.
Food: We did the skewer station, which got rave reviews, and all other apps were passed. I heard comments about most of the food, and especially the sliders that came out later in the evening. A spicy concoction on a pretzel bun with pineapple!
Service: The staff was courteous and responsive, several of my guests commented. Even one of my bridemaids was amazed when she was far away from the prep room and the server said she'd be 'right back' with whatever food she requested, and she was back in minutes! One of them even brought my husband and I out a special tray because it's so easy for the bride and groom to forget to eat.
I would recommend Marna's to anyone and will definitely use them the next time I need a caterer!

Marna's did an amazing job with our wedding food. We wanted our guests to be able to mingle, drink and eat while enjoying themselves and Marna's helped make that a reality. Numerous servers passed beautiful displayed apps all thrush the evening that were raved about for days. The displays were stunning and the carved watermelon was absolutely amazing!! The service was wonderful and very easy to work with! Our guests couldn't stop commenting on the awesome food!!! Thank you so much for helping our vision come to life!!!

Our reception venue recommended a handful of caterers, but their highest praise came for Marna's. They advised Marna's goes out of their way to take care of their clients. We called Rolando and his Marna's team to set up a tasting and were not disappointed. From the first meeting it was clear that their priority was making sure our big day went exactly how we wanted it to go. They were extremely open about recommendations (not only food, but timing of the evening, vendors, etc), flexible with their planning to meet every idea we had, and their food was awesome. We received numerous comments on the food and couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out. Highly, highly recommend the late night snacks- Huge hit (sliders and guacamole)! Also, everyone loved the Cajun walleye and the arugula potatoes. Along with the super food, they are incredibly organized and responsive. Whenever I emailed with a question, I promptly received an email or call in response. They told us at the initial meeting that they didn't want us to worry about anything and they made sure we didn't have to worry about a thing. Every person we interacted with from the first call we made to Marna's through the wedding and follow up afterwards was incredibly helpful and friendly. We can't thank Marna's enough and definitely give them our highest recommendation!

We couldn't possibly be happier with Marna's. Everything was absolutely PERFECT! The tasting was amazing and we were blown away from the start and immediately knew they were who we wanted. All of the communication (in particular, from Carlos) was professional, personable, timely, kind, and incredibly helpful. They were so flexible and accommodating. We ended up with exactly what we wanted! They are also very decently priced, which was a huge draw for us. However, the food is still amazing!!! We chose a food truck and their service during the wedding was exceptional. They definitely have it down to an art. And I can't tell you how many guests came up to me throughout the night to tell me the food was the best wedding food they had ever had. And I wholeheartedly agree!! Please do yourself a favor and check out Marna's. You will not be disappointed!

We are SO beyond happy that we chose Marna's to cater our wedding. We had such a great experience during the planning stages and especially on our day. The food was delicious and the servers were professional and fun. Speaking as the busy bride, it was a very pleasant surprise that one of the staff put a plate of appetizers together for me at my spot at the head table. I would've otherwise missed out due to being pulled in every direction during the cocktail hour and I'm so glad that I didn't. We highly recommend family style dining - all of our guests were served quickly and it went so smoothly. My husband and I appreciate Marna's so much!

Marna's was excellent to work with - they were responsive with our meal changes and questions and were a breeze to work with while rescheduling our wedding as well.

I would highly recommend Marna's to anyone who is getting married. Their food is AMAZING, very helpful, they go the extra step, and are willing to work with you on everything. Their pricing also cannot get beat for how high quality their food is. Tons of our guests commented on just how good the food was. My husband is a huge chicken person and he was so blown away by the steak he just had to have it. Overall Nicole and Carlos were amazing to work with and we would highly recommend people stop by their cafe that opened recently in Robbinsdale as you really get a feel for the people and what they have to offer. There are a few things that we would have changed or that did not go off as efficiently as we would have liked during our reception. They were supposed to cut the cake for serving and did not, there was no coffee bar as we were told, and then the food was served much too quick for my husband and I. We had just sat down at the reception after our Grand March (salads were preplaced) and had no more than 2 minutes to have a bite of salad before they were already pushing plates/glasses/silverware around our spots to fit our entrees. These things are very minimal though and were not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. We still loved working with Marna's and would use them again without question.

Marna's was so awesome to work with! I am so glad we decided to go with them to cater our wedding day! The only thing I will say that we were unable to have the asparagus (due to a bad crop) as we had planned and found out two days before the wedding. It was a total bummer but what can you do. They were so nice about it and substituted a different vegetable, problem solved! It was so awesome reading through our guest book and seeing that Marna's even signed! I would recommend Marna's catering out there to any future bride!

Our Wedding Food Reputation

We chose Marna's as our wedding caterer both because they were recommended by our venue and because their restaurant is just blocks from our home, so we liked the idea of supporting a local place. The food was incredible! We were able to serve every guest a delicious combo of walleye (which reflected our wedding's northwoods atmosphere) and steak (my husband's favorite) as well as plenty of scrumptious veggies and appetizers. Family who didn't even attend our wedding approached me with accounts of how good they heard the food was, and several guests in attendance declared it was the best dinner they'd ever tasted. Even with some difficulties in planning, the Marna's team pulled together and delivered a wonderful wedding service.
Marnas Catering's reply:

Thank you Jessica! Your kind words are so wonderful to hear and I am so happy to hear that your day was amazing! :) Thank you for choosing Marna's!

GREAT to work with, yummy food!

Marna's is an excellent catering choice for your event! Their food is tasty and their staff is very competent and friendly.
My husband and I completely replanned our wedding about 6 weeks before the event due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We were originally working with another caterer, but they were unwilling to work with us when we changed to a tiny wedding. Marna's, however, was eager to meet our needs and gave us services at an extremely reasonable price. They worked with our small guest count, COVID-19 precautions, and a more limited prep space to make our day special. We are very grateful for the Marna's team. As far as caterers go, they are definitely the easiest to work with in the Twin Cities area!

Good food, okay service

We hired Marnas for our wedding in the twin cities. Carlos was really great throughout the planning process, answering my never ending questions! He also allowed us to add a kids option, vegetarian and vegan option. We had the chardonnay chicken and steak as our main two entrees in the buffet, the steak was by far the best! All of the food tasted very fresh and we got a lot of compliments. We also added on two appetizers, the satay chicken and the patacones with black beans. The satay chicken was good but I was really disappointed with the patacones. It was so hard and tough that I couldn't even bite off a piece, it went into the garbage and I saw other guests do the same! It was a bummer but the appetizers were the only thing we couldn't try ahead of times, I was spoiled beforehand with patacones in South Florida! Day of service wasn't perfect, I thought they were supposed to release tables and we waited around awkwardly until I told the first few tables to be released. We then had to find someone to release the tables while we were trying to eat. We added on dessert plates and forks and there were no forks at the dessert table when we did our cake cutting, we had to find a fork. They eventually added the dessert forks but it would have been nice for them to be there before the cake cutting. I found the price to be mid-range of the caterers in the area, I found the value to match up. Overall, I was really happy with our main meal and the planning process!

Rolando is amazing to work with! He is so accommodating and helpful with questions/concerns. From the moment we tried his food at our tasting, we knew our guests would be impressed - and they were. I work with caterers for a living and Marna's impressed me every step of the way.

We did have some issues with the service style - we had 3 dishes all plated and instead of plating a full table at a time, they served by meal which meant that those with pasta were finished eating before others with chicken at their table had even received their meals. We addressed this onsite as it was a little disappointing and not good etiquette for our guests, but it wasn't disastrous and I hope he will use our feedback to prevent other customers from having the same experience.

My key advice: get the steak!

The quality of the food was consistently flavorful from the time of the sample tasting to the day of the event. Many guests complimented the food as being one of the best they have ever had. The staff were very professional and very helpful even for last minute requests or changes. Response to my long list of questions was timely. It only took a bit longer during the busy season, but each question I had was answered clearly.

The only area to improve was the amount of food. We went with the buffet duets option with chicken and beef sirloin with carving station. We were told that each guest would get about 4oz of each protein. However, on the day of the event, each slice of carved beef did not look close to 4oz. Only about 10% of the guests were able to get seconds before the buffet line was shut down with all protein, vegetable completely gone. Maybe the food was that good where we all felt we didn't have enough. Overall experience with the caterer was still excellent. Highly recommended.

Overall, we loved working with Marna's Catering! We liked that they didn't try to upcharge us at every turn (no cake-cutting fee!) and threw in some extras (like watermelon carved with our initials and the date) at no extra charge. They were also on their game with all the details, and answered all our questions faithfully. The staff we worked with both over email and in-person were professional and friendly. It should also be said that our venue was not readily conducive to food service (upstairs, no kitchen accommodations) but they handled it all just fine. The one misgiving I had was the food itself; when we went for the tasting it seemed fine, but at the wedding the chicken was dry and somewhat inedible. However, with everything else going on that day, food quality wasn't exactly top of mind, and we were just happy to get everybody fed for a decent price. Thanks, Marna's!!!

We were happy to work with Marna's for our wedding reception of approximately 150 people. Rolando and Nicole were great to work with and the food was good! We went with a buffet service, at Rolando's recommendation - to ensure the highest quality of the food - and were so glad we did. Marna's staff on the day of our event was extremely organized and helpful, making our event run smoothly. We also found there to be a great amount of variety in the menu and flexibility to make it work for our budget. Would definitely recommend Marna's to anyone throwing a large party.

Best catering I have ever had! After the wedding, my husband and I got so many compliments on the food! We too were beyond pleased with the food!
I did not do a lot of communicating with the catering; my father communicated primarily with Marna's. From my understanding there was only one minor bump in the road. They were trying to make us buy more food than was necessary. The manager seemed to be a little pushy. If you can stand your ground, you'll be fine. The food was totally worth it!

Marnas catering

Me and my fiancé spent over a $3000 for Buffet style . While the food was good, nothing was refilled. If we spend 25 per person it should have been just as a buffet is. When we ran out of sour cream and hard shells we asked one server for more and she said it was only supposed to be 1 taco per person… that’s not what I spent my money on.

Not happy with their service

Food was very good, and good value. Supposed to be 5 servers, only 2 showed up. Cleared away the food on the buffet table before people were done eating. Many guests wanted to go back for more, but the food had been taken away. Servers left early, which meant that the Bride & Groom's family had to refill the dessert platters, and set out late night snack, and clean up at the end of the nite. We left a large tip with the 2 servers at the beginning of the evening, assuming more servers were coming later to help. No other servers came, so the 2 gals got a VERY big tip, that was meant to be divided up between 5 people. The bride emailed the head of catering to tell her about the issues we had, but never got a response. That was almost 2 months ago.
