Always Fabulous! MOU

MOI did not just include food but they also included the staff. They are very kind and caring.
They also did the cake cutting. They are top notch professionals!

One of the most important parts of a wedding is the food and WOW does MOI deliver!! My guests could not stop talking about how good the food was! It was better than I could have ever imagined. The other great thing about MOI is the price! YOU CANT BEAT IT!!! Also, the manager is an absolute delight to work with. He is very easy going and flexible! Definitely a must have!

There were not many things I knew for sure when starting to plan my wedding, but what I did know far before even getting engaged was that I wanted Middle of the Island to cater my wedding! I have been to numerous events that MOI has catered and they are top notch! Everything is scrumptious - I love the squash casserole! The owner, CM, makes EVERYTHING easy for you! CM has this company down to a science and always comes through with stellar food and works with you to have the menu you love for your big day! Thank you, CM and Middle of the Island Catering, for your amazing food and staff members that made my wedding day spectacular! There is no better catering company in town!!!

MOI Catering did such a great job with our wedding!! I had a tough time deciding what to serve, as I wanted to be sure to please the variety of tastes of our guests. MOI was beyond helpful and flexible. They worked closely with me to help individualize our buffet choices, and it turned out so great! We got nothing but wonderful compliments on the food we served. We thought we would have a ton of leftovers, but people loved it and we didn't have much left over at all- which I thought was a great compliment to MOI! The bartenders and wait staff were also amazing and very professional. If you are looking for very reasonably priced, professional, and flexible catering for your wedding then I would definitely recommend checking out MOI!

"Feels like Southern Cookin' Thanksgiving!"

The food was an absolute hit! We had a "coastal elevated" wedding that was elegant and we did buffet style comfort food that everyone would love. I was worried that my food choice wouldn't be formal enough but it was PERFECT. We chose the Everyone's Favorite buffet and had friend chicken, friend shrimp, potato and cheese casserole, corn on the cobb, Mac n' cheese, squash casserole, green beans, slaw, banana pudding and strawberry salad. For cocktail hour we did bbq sliders and tomato, mozzarella and basil. And it was awesome.

I remember looking around and seeing our guests with plates that were piled high! We were given to-go boxes with utensils, desserts and waters and we devoured them after the wedding. It was an incredible experience with CM and his staff all around. I 100% recommend MOI for ANY catering. I'd include more photos but everything was eaten so quickly!

I can NOT express enough POSITIVE thoughts or comments on MOI catering. My original caterer took my deposit and moved out of town, so I frantically called MOI as a cold call on the Sunday 1 month prior to my wedding. CM called me immediately back and even though they were booked, he fit me in to their schedule. The quality of the food, presentation, and staff were WELL beyond our expectations. I can not tell you how many people came up to me to tell me how impressed they were with the entire set up. The staff was above and beyond friendly and professional. The food was unbelievably delicious (not like your typical wedding food), and they set up and took down without any flaws. The Innkeepers at The Front Street Inn also commented on how impressed they were. I have told everyone I know about this experience and will definitely use MOI again!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

BEST FOOD I'VE EVER HAD. All of our guests were so pleased with the buffet we had at our wedding. Not only was the food amazing, but MOI handled everything. Amy was so helpful & made our day stress free. CM was so nice & helpful throughout the process. They boxed all of the left over food up (what was left at least) & Helped us load the car. Very pleased with how everything turned out! Thank you MOI! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Absolutely incredible!!!! He took care of EVERYTHING!!! One thing that stood out to me about MOI catering, was no deposit. Which is so amazing and so helpful in the process of wedding planning because you are throwing money at all these vendors initially then you don't remember what you paid who, it was just easy to pay them a few days before. My guests thoroughly enjoyed the food as well. They also have a ton of different options for all different price ranges! I loved it!!!

The staff was excellent! We were going to have an outside wedding reception however mother nature had other plans. Severe rain storms. Staff moved all foods indoors in timely manner and served up the best food to all our guests. Many many compliments from our guests about the quality of service from the MOI staff and the quality of the food. It was all delicious!!!

They did a great job! We went with something like $11-13 per person and a buffet, which worked perfectly for our size wedding. Guests were happy and well fed. Their staff also kept our drinks coming and regularly checked the tables. They obviously do a lot of weddings, so behind the scenes, while polite, they were clearly doing a job. But overall, couldn't ask for much more, great food and no problems!!

If you live in Wilmington and don't like MOI, you're crazy. The food is delicious, but the service is like none other. They are so efficient and who doesn't love their marinated chicken? My husband and I chose the Southern Buffet with 2 meats and 6 sides. Everyone loved the options we had. I would choose MOI over and over again!

Delicious!!!! They are very easy to communicate with, and very stress free. The day of our wedding was very stress free when it came to the catering. They did a wonderful job, and also everything was delicious! All of our guests enjoyed the food, and the services from Middle of the Island.

Great good for a great price. Very flexible and the service was great. Food was on time, hot, and delicious. The staff we had for our wedding night were outstanding! Helped my husband and I with our dinner plates, were always checking in to make sure we were happy with the food, drinks, etc. The bartender we had was great! They even helped clean up at the very end. Couldn't have asked for more!

Amazing food! Awesome prices! My guests keep telling me it was the BEST wedding food they've ever had! My husband and I served the BBQ and Chicken buffet. Some of the star sides included creamed corn and mac and cheese! Additionally, the staff of Middle of the Island Catering went out of their way on the wedding day and even helped organize an area of the wedding they were not in charge of. They saw a need and stepped in! I had no idea! They also made us sweet honeymoon plates that we throughly enjoyed the next day! Throughout the process, MOI were extremely flexible and easy to work with!

Delicious & Exactly What We Needed!

MOI was a perfect choice for our wedding. The process of trying the food, booking and choosing our menu was super easy. It was very casual which stressed me out, but I ended up really appreciating it because I didn't have to think about it much. Pricing is super transparent. You can add it up yourself and know exactly what your cost will be. All of our guests had positive reviews for the food & loved how many options we had (SO MANY for such a good price). The catering staff were attentive, made us our plates so we didn't have to and checked in on us often to make sure we were good. We also have family members with food allergies and they were really helpful to make sure our meals were nut free (made accommodations on the menu items) and also made our best man a different meal to make sure it was free of his allergens. 10/10 would recommend, I know understand why they are the highest rated in Wilmington!

This is the best catering in Wilmington. I have no doubt. For months after the wedding, guests continued to call me and say things like, “Oh, the wedding was great. We had a wonderful time. BUT THE FOOD – Who was it? Where are they from? Can they travel?” They were the hit. When we did our original tasting with CM, he brought out trays of food for us to try and we knew what we wanted. He was super flexible, easy to work with, and didn’t hunt you down like some of the other vendors I’ve worked with. In fact, 3 days before, I called him and asked him if we could do a Mojito Bar, and he was all for it! What a great company and what GREAT FOOD!

MOI was awesome! The service was amazing the waitstaff were so nice and made sure I got a chance to eat their AMAZING food. We had the wedding favorite and so many of my guests have told me how great the service was and how great the food was (one of my friends is trying to recreate the penne and shrimp it was so good everyone needs this at their wedding) We also hired bartenders and they made awesome drinks and remembered what my husband was drinking all night long. We came home with lots of sweet tea and plates of food. Top quality and amazing value! If I ever need a caterer again I will be sure to give MOI a call!

CM and his staff with MOI were the best! CM was able to work with us to create a unique set up for food stations to ensure the party at our wedding would be a hit! His pricing is extremely reasonable and the quality of the food and service was beyond our expectations! All of our guests could not stop talking about how delicious it all was, and my husband and I enjoyed leftovers in the to-go boxes packed up for us! The staff was great to work with and really took care of us all throughout the night!

MOI catered our rehearsal and did an AMAZING job. The servers they sent to our house were great and the food was even better. Most of the party was from up north and nonstop raved about the great southern style food. The squash casserole was a surprise favorite! I highly recommend it.

Eat, Drink & Be Married

I highly recommend any couple getting married in the Wilmington/Southport area to consider MOI Catering. Our guests are still commenting on the delicious food and great service. We used Package 4 and their bar services but provided our own alcohol. Their additional services such as set-up and break-down were very helpful. They are easy going and adaptable and my husband and I did not worry about anything during the night and they even served us food and drinks at our sweetheart table. They were great!

10/10 Wedding Catering

I highly recommend booking Middle of the Island! So easy to work with, which made the planning process stress free. During our wedding tasting we were able to try a TON of food. He even made custom items for our wedding menu, which made it unique to us and our guest.

CM at MOI catering was so easy to work with! I was very stressed about the dinner buffet and making sure that things went smoothly. CM took the time to help us figure out the best way to do the things we wanted, he actually worked to find what was best for US, not just what was easiest for him. We utilitzed his bartenders and wait staff which were all awesome. I had more people than I could keep track of come and tell us how much they enjoyed the food. Everything on the buffet was delicious! I would recommend to anyone for any occassion!

The food that was served was awesome. All of our guests were talking about it. These people were fabulous. We had both the wedding and the reception there. They transformed the wedding venue into a reception in under an hour. Very impressive. The customer service they provided allowed us to enjoy the entire event. The wedding was at St. Thomas Preservation Hall. We were under the understanding we could come back and pick up our belongings in the morning, Nov. 2nd and at 10:30 P.M., when all of the guests had left, we were told we had to be out by 3:00 A.M the next morning. Needless to say, we were a bit upset. The staff took the reins by the horns and assisted my wife and myself in gathering the center pieces, candles, drinks, and everything else and actually packed our only car available to haul everything back to our hotel. Without their staff, this wedding would have ended in a disaster. The Middle Of The Island rocks and their staff is the best I have ever had the pleasure to meet and conduct business with. These people are sincere and we will never forget them for the rest of our lives. As the parents of the bride at a destination wedding, I would strongly recommend using this company and its staff to assure you have the perfect wedding day. Pauleen and Paulette, you are the best. Sincerely, Mike and Janet Miller ( Parents of the bride)

I have absolutely NOTHING negative to say!!! It was truly top notch! The service was amazing. They waited on every guest hand and foot making sure everyone was completely satisfied! And we were! My husband and I are pretty relaxed people so we went with the fried chicken. Yes, friend chicken at a wedding! Lol, and it was soooo good!!! No one could stop talking about it! Oh, and don't worry they can go much fancier and it is all amazing!!! They can provide everything you possibly could need: Full bar, Dinner, Cocktail hour (By the way, the shrimp and grits are to die for!!!), ect. Whatever you choose, I assure you will not find any regret here!!!

Incredible food and incredible service. CM and his whole team went above and beyond countless times to make our wedding perfect. They even helped with setting up the tables which was definitely not their job. They catered both our rehearsal dinner and wedding which made all our guests very happy - they were excited to try all his other recipes. His fried chicken is out of this world - and honestly so is every single thing they served. We'll definitely use them for any other catered event we have!

Super friendly people, with service that goes above and beyond for the price you pay. So many of my guests commented at my wedding about how delicious the food was, and even weeks later I still hear people talking about what a great job they did! Excellent bartending as well! Thank you MOI!

MOI to the Rescue

Long story short MOI saved the day with their flexibility and excellent food when we had to postpone our wedding due to covid and also move the reception. We were so grateful for their willingness to go along with the constant changes that we had no control over and even made sure the groom had some chicken tenders haha Everyone is still raving about the food!

I don't have a single bad word about my experience with them!! Great communication, gave us options to fit our specific menu needs, extremely professional, and the best food I've ever had at a wedding (so happy it was ours!) Our guests raved about the food and service. A pleasure to work with and answered my calls or emails quickly and kept in touch. Already plan to use MOI for our 1 year anniversary celebration. Highly recommend them.

MOI was amazing on our wedding day. The staff, the owner, the bartenders, were all amazing. We kept having our guest come up to us saying the food was amazing and wanted to go boxes. The exceeded all of my exceptions. I am gluten free, and they made special accomidations for my plate. I highly recommend MOI for your wedding day!

Hire CM and his team! I tried his food at wedding show and I knew I wanted them right away. The prices and the quality of food is outstanding. We also hired their bartenders and additional servers. CM was so flexible with everything and let us substitute things without charging us extra. We used MOI the night before for the rehearsal dinner and had the best fried chicken I had ever had! When people at the reception realized we were using the same catering they were very excited. We had so many compliments on the food. The staff very on top of everything and always made sure my husband and I had a drink or just anything we needed. CM personally stayed until the end of the event and made sure everything was taken care of. The price and and the taste can not be beat!

Absolutely delicious and filling!

We and our guests could not have been any happier with the food from MOI! We chose the Wedding Favorite Buffet, and it definitely lives up to its name! We have received so many compliments about how tasty the food was and how there was a great selection that everyone (no matter their food preferences) could enjoy. On top of that, MOI's team were some of the easiest, most flexible people to work with which made our experience that much more stress-free!

Caterer for our wedding

Middle of the island just catered our wedding this weekend and I can not say enough. All weekend our guests could not stop raving about the food. Everything exceeded our expectations and my only wish would be that they opened a restaurant as well because it would be my new favorite. From the first phone call to the night of the wedding, the staff was AMaZING! Our servers were so kind and efficient. Plenty of food to feed all of our guests. I am so thankful for booking MOI!

Amazing food!

We hired MOI for our rehearsal dinner and our wedding day. The food was amazing!! Our wedding was early so our main meal was at 3:15. Therefore we also had a drop off meal of burgers and hot dogs at 7 pm. They are kind and easy to work with. Highly recommend!

MOI is simply the best and most delicious in all of Wilmington

CM from MOI is the best. He is super quick to answer all questions and is so easy to work with. They are so good at their jobs that you aren't expected to call with your order until a week before the event. You aren't required to make a down payment either which really surprised me! I have been to a few weddings catered by MOI and just knew I wouldn't have it any other way for my big day. Just a few days after being engaged and booking a date, MOI was the first I called! Their whole staff is amazing and really does it ALL. I will always recommend them. Their price is extremely reasonable and the food is as I said, simply the best around! Thank you team at MOI for making my day the best. PS-my guests were talking about that ice cream bar for days!!

MOI is the way to go. Not only do they have a huge selection of options but the food was amazing. My guests were raving all
Night about how it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. That’s all that you need to know to make your decision. I didn’t have to worry about a thing, they helped make everything so easy and stress free!

Most Compliments Received!

MOI is well known in the community for providing awesome service and delicious food, and they did not disappoint! We received more compliments on how amazing the food was than anything else, I think! The biggest hit by far were the shrimp and grits...people were walking by with three glassfuls in their hands all at one time!!! The squash casserole was fantastic and the balsamic chicken was to die for too. Not only was the food outstanding, but the servers were amazing as well! They took exceptional care of us and our guests; they were simply phenomenal!

Great value!

We used middle of the island to cater our wedding buffet. CM was so easy and pleasant to work with. He had us over for a tasting before the wedding and everything tasted amazing. He allowed us to mix and match the different courses and sides. Payment was simple and painless. The food was great on the day of the wedding and we were allowed to take home the leftovers. Working with cm is such an easy process and you can’t beat his prices for the high quality food with much variety. We would recommend him to anyone!

Yes yes yes

Food was one of the most important things to us for the wedding, and wow did Middle of the Island crush it! The wedding was a week ago, and we are STILL receiving compliments on the food. During cocktail hour, we had the chicken and waffles, shrimp cocktail shooters and the asiago asparagus, and everything was amazing. The chicken and waffles were both a hit and adorable, with a little rose detail at the end of each tooth pick. We had the grilled salmon with dill, creamy balsamic chicken and roasted vegetable parmesan cream penne pasta, and everything was incredibly delicious and not dry at all. So many people came up to us at the wedding saying, “I feel like I just ate in a restaurant” or “this is the best salmon we have ever had.” Not only was the food amazing, but MOI was extremely flexible and professional, and was able to accommodate us for a tasting during the holiday season. Additionally, night of the wedding, the fabulous staff kept our buffet line moving, and took care of our wedding party all night long. I absolutely recommend using MOI for any event!

We used Middle of the Island Catering for our rehearsal dinner. We used the drop off menu and had the rehearsal dinner at a beach house we rented. Everything was amazing!! Everyone raved about the food. We ordered Jerk Chicken, Rice and Beans, Squash Casserole (soooo sooo good), BBQ, strawberry spinach salad, and peach cobbler. Yumm sooo good and such an excellent price!!

We decided to go with the Southern Buffet and it was awesome! Our guest loved the Pulled BBQ and everyone raved about the squash casserole! Everything was amazing and we highly recommend the shrimp and grits! CM was awesome from the beginning process and followed through along side with his amazing staff! All were very attentive! Thank you so much for a great experience. Our wedding day food was amazing!

Oh my goodness....CM and his staff prepare some seriously excellent food, and I still am getting compliments about it weeks after the wedding. We actually had MOI cater the food for a Welcome Party on Friday night and the wedding reception on Sat. night. CM helped us plan a menu that fit both occasions but was quite distinctive and, as I said, so very delicious. What was even more impressive was that he was able to incorporate several dishes each night that appealed to the bride who is essentially a vegetarian.
The Welcome Party featured fried chicken (absolutely divine) and barbecue sliders that were perfect. With the beans and rice and several salads plus cheese grits and a mashed potato bar, everyone was thinking the food could not be beat.
Then on Sat. night the prime rib and marinated chicken plus two different salads, squash, sweet potatoes and penne with roasted veggies took the food up to an even higher standard, and again everyone raved at the taste and service.
Amy was the "captain" of the team that worked our event and her graciousness and her ever present smile, made it seem like feeding 100+ people was absolutely a breeze. The servers were friendly, efficient and professional and kept the cocktail, serving and dining areas tidy without being intrusive.
The price was extremely reasonable and the bridal couple, the parents and all the guests could not have been happier or more impressed.

All I can say is the biggest compliments I heard from my wedding was how GREAT the food was and how fantastic the servers were. I could not have been more pleased with Middle of the Island. The food was so stinkin' delicious. Every last bit of it. CJ was a pleasure to deal with in the months prior and his staff is extremely professional, accommodating and efficient. They did a great job. And the sangria they put together with the limited bar we provided was amazing!!!!

You are doing a disservice by NOT hiring MOI because they are by far the best caterers I've ever had to deal with.

I would recommend them a million times over...just wish they were located in New England. :-(

We chose the wedding favorite buffet for our wedding and had SO many guest mention how awesome the food was post wedding. The food and service was great. The staff brought my husband and I a full plate so we could get a head start before the reception commenced. CM was extremely helpful and easy to work with. He needed a headcount and the menu choice a week before the wedding and it was as simple as could be. Highly recommend!!!

We had MOI at both the rehearsal dinner and wedding. I cannot say enough about how happy we were with the food and service. Everyone commented on how good the food was on both nights.
The staff was amazing , friendly, attentive , polite and truly seemed to enjoy the events. We had the bartender service and they were outstanding so nice and remembered what everyone was drinking !
The food was excellent, I don't know how they do it. We had prime rib for the wedding and it was delicious. We did a beach wedding and had cocktail hour by the pool. They set up several stations which looked beautiful, they passed hors d'oeuvres which were plentiful. Shrimp and grits were success. Cm was a pleasure to work with. Would highly recommend MOI .

Delicious food!

CM does amazing work! His staff knows exactly what to do. His food is amazing, well known for the squash casserole, it was a hit. We went with the southern buffet style and got feedback from everyone that they loved it. We also used his beverage/bar services and they were good. The only set back with the drink was they were not strong enough so if thats a thing for you just ask for a double when you order your drinks and they can do that for you. We enjoyed working with CM and his staff.

We are thrilled with our choice to have MOI cater our wedding! Their food is so yummy and their people are so nice. It was a pleasure having them at our wedding. They were so nice to box up all the leftover food from the buffet and send it home with us and our family. They even made up two complete meals for my husband and I to take to the hotel in case we were hungry after the wedding. Would use them again in a heartbeat.

What can I say - I wish we had so much more extras! Every bite we took was insanely delicious. My guests are still commenting on how wonderful the food was. They also provided our liquor and bartender and my guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Everyone was professional but also so caring. We saw many of the staff crying during the father/daughter dance. It was so wonderful to see how much they were engrossed in our day!

MOI live up to the hype

We heard nothing but great things about MOI from everyone we talked to. After hiring them, we were so happy by how professional and knowledgeable they were. They answered all of our questions that came up and they calmed any nerves we had leading up to the wedding day. They were honestly perfect- we just handed the reins over to them and they handled everything food and dining related. The food was amazing, they took such good care of us (the bride and groom) during dinner, and they even packaged up all of the leftover food for us. We highly recommend them!

MOI was a dream to work with. They were so easy! They always answered my calls and got back to emails quickly. The food was FANTASTIC (the shrimp pasta is to die for). My guests were raving about it for weeks. It was well worth the price and was one of the most reasonable caters in town. Even the servers were so kind and hard working. They have this business down to a science.

The food was amazing! I wish Mike & I had the time to eat more of it the night of the wedding, but what I like about MOI is that they give you all the leftovers; nothing went to waste! Our guests had nothing but great things to say about all the food.

Middle of the Island was insanely easy to work with, and the food was awesome. The service and food quality were exactly as promised, the staff were professional and nice. A great value for the money - if ever I have another function to plan in Wilmington they would be the ones I would call.

CM is always very fast at responding and very helpful. He always reassured me everything would turn out like I wanted. He even help me decide what package and what food to chose for the wedding. Everyone still tells me how amazing the food was at our wedding.

The absolute BEST catering company

I was super frustrated trying to find a local catering company for our wedding. Every place I contacted was unresponsive or well over the budget we set. The manager of our venue recommended MOI and it was one of best decisions we made with regard to wedding planning. Not only is every single thing on their menu delicious, but they are so reasonably priced and professional, especially considering all of the services they provide. The wait staff was excellent, they provided cake cutting, the boxed up all leftovers - we didn't have to stress about anything food-related. After securing the date I was initially nervous about them not taking a deposit but that's just their business practice. Every single time I contacted CM with a question, he was quick to respond. We're about 2 hours from where MOI is located but it mattered not. We were happy to pay the travel charge because NO ONE compared to the quantity and quality of food, service, affordability, and level of professionalism of this company. If they have your date available, book them! Thank you, CM and MOI staff!

The best wedding food we have ever had!!! We served the "Wedding Favorite" at our wedding reception and got nothing but compliments. The thing we'll remember the most is the above and beyond service we received. The servers continued to walk around the event making sure everyone was pleased. They made all of our hard work decorating so worth it by constantly complementing on how amazing everything looked. Middle of the Island absolutely enhanced our event and for that we'd recommend them time and time again.

What can I say- CM with Middle of Isle is the BEST! His food is FAMOUS in Wilmington and you can only get it if you have a catered event! So needless to say- I am having withdrawals b/c I can't walk into the restaraunt and order! The food was amazing, his service was amazing- everything went perfect, couldn't ask for anything more!

So Delicious

MOI came highly recommended to us to use as our wedding catering. We decided to go with a station set up as opposed to a buffet and are so glad we did. The food was AMAZING and all of the guests raved about it all night long. Their staff was professional and friendly. Loved having them as a part of our day!

The food is amazing!!!! They are very flexible and don't need a head count or the menu until the week of the wedding which is extremely helpful. I've been to other events where they have catered and I feel lucky to have booked them for my wedding!

It was an honor to have Middle of the Island be a part of my big day. They are passionate, professional and provide outstanding customer service. Not to mention, the DELICIOUS food!!! Four months after my wedding, people are still talking about how amazing it was. I have used their services many times in the past so I knew what to expect and they exceeded every expectation and more. Their love for food is contagious. I can't say enough amazing things about them!

Outstanding Service and Food

The food and the service was outstanding. We hired MOI for our rehearsal dinner as well dinner for the wedding day. The rehearsal dinner was a taco bar and the staff went above and beyond. They helped our grandparents get from the buffet line to their table with their food and made sure to keep checking on them. On our wedding day they made our plates and served them to us and really looked out for us the entire time they were there. The food both nights was delicious.

I can not even begin to express how amazing MIO was! CM was not only super great to work with, but he also was very helpful and accommodating! The staff was all very professional and made sure our guests were taken care of the entire night. Everyone is still talking about how amazing our food was!! We will recommend MIO to everyone we know!

Everyone loved the food and the service was fantastic!

Middle of the island catering are so friendly and laid back. They were my most responsive vendor! They have a million options and they all taste great! We went down to do a tasting and was surprised that some of the foods I normally don't even like I was adding to the menu. They come with their own truck that has everything they might need and staff goes beyond just serving their food. They helped set up dessert, made us to go plates, and cleaned up.
