    Delicious experience

    Maucieri's catered our wedding Sept 28th and it was absolutely delicious. We had the maple leaf chicken or bbq beef brisket with garlic mashed potatoes and stir fry vegetables. We had so many compliments on the food served and the staff was so on top of everything. Great experience.

    This food!

    Maucieri's catering came with hiring the venue, but it is so worth it! Their food is absolutely amazing and their service is top notch!

    They catered for our November wedding and we could of not been more happy with how everything turned out! The food was absolutely delicious and the staff was amazing!! They checked in throughout the night and helped to guide us on the best timing for things and how much we will need for our amount of guest when it came to the alcohol we wanted to provide. We were very happy with how everything turned out!

    Maucieri’s catered our May, 2018 wedding at Pine Peaks Event Center and everything from our first lunch after our first tour in 2016, to our tasting, to our wedding dinner was delicious! We started out working with Kate as the catering manager and then Tassy took over, both were great to work with! The only note is to triple check what you planned before putting in the final order because some things we talked about at the tasting didn’t get on the final bill. It got worked out the night before the wedding but we cut it close! The food is so rich that we went through all our pre-paid wine before dinner ended but they had plenty of backup so we could keep our guests happy. With their pasta dinner plan for more wine than beer! All of the staff members were great but most importantly, the bartenders, Sonny and Katie, were the best! We still have friends talk about how cool and friendly they were! They felt like part of the party!

    We used Maucieri's catering for a wedding at pine peaks event center, and they are second to none. The staff was wonderful, easy to work with, and very efficient! The food is out of this world! You will never be disappointed in Maucieri's food! We had the chicken Parmesan and stuffed shells with Italian gravy! Everything was cooked to perfection, was delicious, and everybody raved about the food! At the end of the night they made complementary wood fire pizza as for our guests too! They even helped serve our dessert (we brought our own)!

    The tasting was great! They had a lot of different options to try. The pesto mashed potatoes were our favorite! It was easy to work with the staff and planning even though they had a change of staff in the middle of our planning. They worked and were flexible with us, answered questions quickly, and were all around great to work with!

    We also ate at the restaurant while we were staying in Crosslake and love the atmosphere, friendly staff, but most importantly the magnificent food! You will not be disappointed!

    We had our wedding at Pine Peaks Retreat and Event Center on 12/31/16. Maucieri's was great to work with. Kate was so accommodating. I had a dream a family style meal and they don't usually do that but she made it happen and it was awesome! The food was so good and we got a lot of compliments from our guests! Thank you Macuieri's!

    Maucieri’s Catering was so much more than a catering company for our wedding. I feel like their motto should be “we can make that happen.” Anything that we asked of Kate and Corey was addressed and taken care of expertly. And I haven’t even mentioned the food! Best wedding food my family has ever had! Thank you so much Kate!

    Kate and her team were wonderful to work with leading up to & the day of our wedding, which was held at Pine Peaks Retreat Center on 8/20/2016. We had BBQ ribs & wild rice stuffed walleye, along with blue cheese scalloped potatoes & garlic mashed potatoes. Everything was absolutely delicious. Maucieri's also catered our Groom's Dinner the night prior, with a pasta bar. All of our guests still talk about how fantastic the food was!

    Maucieri's catered our wedding at Pine Peaks, and did an excellent job! Kate the catering coordinator is awesome to work with - very organized and easy to communicate with. I was really impressed with the staff during the reception as well. They made the buffet style meal go super smoothly for our 225 guests. They were very efficient at the bar as well. They even helped with cupcake distribution. We had the slow roasted beef and maple leaf stuffed chicken with garlic mashed potatoes and green bean almondine. All were absolutely delicious. We got lots of compliments on how good the food was from guests. I have eaten the pasta at the restaurant as well, and I swear EVERYTHING on the menu is delicious! I would highly recommend them for dinner and catering!

    From the day we were sent home with armfuls of leftovers from our (delicious!) tasting through our wedding weekend, Maucieri's was wonderful to work with. Kate was super-communicative, friendly and helpful, even making sure we had Smirnoff Ice to dole out after we were Iced at our own head table! She handled our game-day change of our drink ticket rule in stride, and never once added any stress to our wedding. The bartenders and waitstaff did a great job keeping everyone happy, and our guests LOVED the food! I would definitely recommend Maucieri's to any couple!

    Maucieri's Catering provided an amazing meal for our Wedding. Kate was very accommodating to our guests needs and worked with us to provide the options we desired for our meal. Still today, 6 weeks after our wedding, we are still receiving compliments about the food! We could not have been more pleased with our experience working with Kate and Maucieri's Catering!

    Our experience with Maucieri's catering was amazing. They were nothing but helpful and answered any questions or concerns promptly and professionally throughout the planning process. We had the maple leaf chicken, slow roasted beef with brandy peppercorn sauce, mashed potatoes, and green beans. Our guests raved about how delicious the food was and stated it was the best wedding food they have had. Kate was incredibly helpful throughout our wedding day and made sure everything ran smoothly! We would definitely recommend Maucieri's to anyone looking for a caterer for their wedding!

    I had my wedding at the Pine Peaks Event Center on September 19th, 2015. Maucieri's did the catering for our wedding, and I have to say the food was absolutely phenomenal! Many of my guests commented on how it was the best wedding food they have ever had! And we did the buffet, so the portions were large too! The staff is amazing and really helps you pick a meal that is exactly what you want, even if you have to do a few tastings to find that perfect meal. I could not be happier with the quality of service and food that Maucieri's provided!

    Maucieri's Catering fulfilled all of our catering needs for our August 22, 2015 wedding. We truly appreciate how organized and prompt Maucieri's Catering was for our big day. They truly made it stress free! Maucieri's Catering accommodated to our 300 guests and served a delicious meal with our hand selected favorites. My husband and I recommend their services to anyone in need.

    Maucieri's catered our wedding at the Pine Peaks Event Center on July 18th, 2015. Our reception menu was delicious! We got many raving reviews of our food. We went with the buffet option where we got to pick 2 meats, 1 starch, 1 vegetable, salad, and fresh bread. We chose slow roasted beef with mushroom demi glase and bone in breaded chicken. The beef was set up on a carving station where the head chef served our guests. Even with the chicken being in a warmer, the breading on the chicken stayed crispy. We also chose the al gratin potatoes, green bean almondine, and ceasar salad which were all delicious. Our family and friends loved the food! Kate, their catering coordinator was so helpful when setting up our day. She answered all of my questions very promptly, had helpful ideas, and was there making sure everything ran smoothly all night. Kate even helped with our cake smash at our reception. Instead of the traditional dollar dance we collected money to see who got the most and they got our cake smashed in their face. Of course my groom was the lucky winner! :) Kate decided that our ice cream cake might hurt, so she gave up a huge plate of whipped cream. She egged me on as I smashed the plate in my grooms face, making a mess on the ground in the process. She laughed and cleaned it up no problem at all. Not every caterer would let you make a mess like that for a few laughs. We had a great night with delicious food and fun!

    Finding the right caterer for your wedding can be a daunting task. There are so many different options out there and you want to make sure you have delicious food that everyone is going to love, especially since the food is one of the main things your guests are looking forward to (and that you are paying for!). When we found out that our venue, Pine Peaks Event Center, had Maucieri's as a preferred caterer, we were both excited and skeptical - while we wouldn't have to go through the process of finding our own caterer...what if we didn't like their food? However, once we went there for lunch, we knew we had nothing to worry about - THEIR FOOD WAS AMAZING!! When we returned for our actual taste testing, it was us and another couple. This way, we not only got to try the options that we had chosen, but also everything that they had wanted to sample, including things that we hadn't even thought about. And it all was WONDERFUL! While everything had been great the two times we had eaten in the restaurant, you also worry how it is going to turn out when it is made in mass quantities for 200 some people. But needless to say, when it came to our wedding day, the food was just as INCREDIBLE as it had been every other time. We had guests telling us all night long how DELICIOUS the food was and people are still bringing it up a month later! Another great thing about Maucieri's is that they also provided the bar service for our wedding, which was an added benefit since not all caterers do that.

    We are VERY HAPPY that we had Maucieri's cater our wedding - their food was FANTASTIC and our only regret is that we didn't have any extra to bring home with us!!

    Kate has bent over backwards for us! The food is one of the most important parts of our wedding and our standards are VERY high. The filet is one of the best I've ever had! The prices are fantastic for the fabulous quality of food! I would have expected to pay much more for what we are getting! Kate walked us through everything... again... and again... and again... She is fantastic at her job and makes the experience exciting with endless possibilities! Talk about customer service!!! 5 stars!!!
