    Awesome!

    Les and Naiman's Catering are the best!!! He was extremely professional, flexible, and understanding, especially during COVID. They were one of our first choices for catering and we are so glad we hired them. We had to change the wedding date 3 times, change our party size 3 times and changed our menu all because of COVID. Les was able to accommodate all of our changes. Along with the service, the FOOD WAS AMAZING!!! All of our guests loved it! Would definitely hire again.

    Food was amazing!

    The food was absolutely amazing. Les met with us prior to the wedding to go over our menu and give us options. All the food was amazing then, making setting the menu extremely difficult. Come wedding day, the food exceeded our expectations. The food was better than anything we could of imagined and all the guest were very pleased with their meal.

    Delicious food! Amazing service!

    Naiman’s Catering was one of the top vendors I first booked for our wedding. They delivered! Above and Beyond! The food tasting was our first impression and we ended the appointment full and very well satisfied! Seriously, any of their food was delicious and well flavored. My family still mention how great all of the food tasted, which was a high regard because my family are really big “foodies.” I had made some last minute additions of tablecloths, utensils, etc for the wedding day and Naiman’s was very flexible and accommodating. Jennifer was our supervisor day of the wedding and she was so sweet and efficient. They even took the extra time to make sure the appetizers were brought out to the wedding party after the ceremony so we did not miss out. It was the smallest things that made us feel so well taken care of. Thank you to all of Naiman’s staff, it truly contributed to a wonderful outcome of our big day!

    Naiman's Catering's reply:

    Thank you for your wonderful review. My staff and I have one main goal and that is to make your reception a huge success and wonderful memory for everyone attending and it always is great to see that we attain that goal 99% of them time .

    Superb Catering all around!

    Les and his team catered our 125 person wedding last weekend and we were thrilled with their service, taste, and pricing! From the start Les aims to please and he personalized our entire experience. He followed up regularly, always answered our questions, provided great discounts, and had a super friendly staff who went above and beyond the night of our wedding! We will keep Naiman's in mind for sure for future catering needs!

    Great Team for Catering! - Call them!!!

    This is the number #1 Caterer in Louisville area. Our daughter was married over the Memorial Day 2021 weekend and everything was great. We met Les during a bridal show the year before. We explained we were looking for a caterer to cater a Jewish Wedding and he was that person!! Not only did he spend time explaining the many options, he came to our daughter's home and provided a taste test and walked through our menu. Our menu consisted of cocktail hour, dinner with brisket (the best!!!!), salmon, chicken and the famous pasta!!. Whatever you do get the pasta!!. Les also made sure that my daughter had his special green beans just for her! The staff and servers were amazing!. We also used his bartenders for the event. Everyone was supper nice, friendly, took care of everyone. The little one's kept sneaking to the bar for a cup of cherries that the bartenders had for them. At the end of the night, everything was cleaned up beautifully and the staff had a take home dinner for the bride and groom. If I ever have another event, I will contact them!! They were amazing. I can't say enough about this team.

    Outstanding!

    Outperformed my high expectations. The food was amazing, and I wanted some very specific and unusual things. Beautiful and delicious. The staff was elegant, professional, and easy to work with and I am so grateful they were able to do it. They made my wedding so special and completely understood my vision and made my dreams come true!

    Delicious and Amazing Service

    Mr. Naiman and his team were absolutely amazing throughout our entire experience. We had met with Mr. Naiman and what kind of food we liked, or what we were planning on serving our guests- then came out to our house with HUGE serving pans of food for us to try. I am not exaggerating when I tell you that everything, we tried was fantastic and we knew right then that’s who we wanted to go with. On top of the food being amazing, the service the day of the wedding was impeccable. The Naiman’s team was so incredibly professional and did such a great job setting up the food, making sure tehre was enough out, cleaning up tables as people got finished, and a nice little touch was at the end of dinner- they packed up my husband and I to-go plates because they knew we wouldn’t be able to really eat at the wedding. I cannot speak high enough about this company and next time we need catering for an event- it will be a no brainer to use Naiman’s again. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing catering for an event!

    Naiman's Catering's reply:

    Thank you Kayla for the kind words. My staff and I have only one goal and that is to bring forth great food and service resulting in great memories for clients and their families. .I am so pleased that you were 100% happy.

    Delightful and Wonderful

    Can’t say enough about Les and this Company! I had 4 weeks to plan a small backyard wedding and due to a COVID was having a hard time finding a Catering Co to do just appetizers. Two weeks out I reached out to Naiman’s and Les was a true blessing! He listened to my needs and wants and recommend what he thought best and it was perfect. He was prompt and the appetizers were amazing! The guest couldn’t not say enough about how delicious the appetizers were. We will definitely use Naiman’s for all our catering needs, big or small! ! Thank You Les

    We had a great experience

    We used Neumann for my daughters wedding. The food was fantastic. The display looked amazing. The servers did a fantastic job of serving appetizers, engaging with the guests (but not too much), they also kept everything full and looking good. Thank you Neumann for a great experience!

    Our Pandemic wedding

    Our Pandemic wedding Turned out wonderful. Not as many people as we were expecting. The catering staff and Mr. Naiman did an outstanding job. The food was ordered way before our governor changed the limits on the number of people. I called Mr. Naiman in a panic because we ordered food for 200. We purchased takeout containers for our guest. Everyone enjoyed the food and took some home.
    We ordered bbq chicken and pulled pork with all the side dishes.
    We will definitely use their service again.

    Absolutely one of the best around!

    Les was a joy to work with. His team of servers, including the lead and the bartenders were wonderful. They not only provided the best service with food and drink, they cleared the tables and helped clean up the venue. I received so many compliments on the buffet and I could say was Naiman's Catering. Thanks Naiman's!

    Naiman's Catering's reply:

    Thank you for the kind words. I am so happy that you were pleased with everything we supplied for you and your family. . We always aim to be he very best that we can be and I am blessed to have the best kitchen and serving staff in the city . It was a pleasure working with you .

    Best caterer we have worked with yet! Hire this vendor!

    This is the 2nd or 3rd time my company has worked with Les and his amazing group of employees for a huge event. We are a medium sized company who knows how to throw a fun gathering for our clients. Les never ceases to amaze me with his group of employees who work together like a beautiful symphony! Not kidding at all! You can tell they love working with their hard working employer and most have worked with him for a long time. The food is wonderful- our clients love the simple, elegant, and delicious foods and we basically clear out and let Les and his crew go to work! Les is lovely to work with- we are growing so fond of him- he's the friend you wish you had and the guy you want working on your team! I highly recommend Les Naiman catering for your corporate needs- they will make your event extra special! I have seen Les's group at weddings too and wowowowowowowow- again, blown away!

    Naiman's Catering's reply:

    Thank you very much for your wonderful review and kind words. We really enjoy working with your people and we really appreciate the opportunity to serve your catering needs the past year and are looking forward to doing so again in the future . I am blessed to have such a wonderful kitchen and serving staff who go above and beyond at every event we do .

    Outstanding service!! We have worked several weddings and events with Les and his staff. They are friendly, extremely attentive to guest and their needs. Les works closely with his clients to give them the best quality of food and service while staying within their budget. We would and do recommend Naiman's Catering to anyone who is looking for a caterer.

    I have so many positive things to say about our wedding reception experience with Naiman's Catering! It started off great from the beginning with the taste testing; diverse in options and best of all done directly in your own home! Les had a sample menu available at that time, and worked with us as we discussed creating something within our budget. We ended up doing a BBQ buffet, and I cannot tell you how many people commented that the food was EXCELLENT. I have even had a few brides ask specifically who the caterer was, so they could contact Les for a tasting. The wait staff was prompt and courteous, with Jennifer contacting me the week of the wedding to go over fine details and any questions in advance of the wedding. In addition to being responsible for serving the food, Naiman's assisted in the cake cutting, and made sure to send 2 slices of cake and a meal for my husband and I at the end of the night. I LOVE this attention to detail and forethought, since we were so busy at the reception that we missed eating a slice of our own hummingbird cake. In all, they did an excellent job, and the food was top notch.

    Les and his staff recently catered by daughter’s wedding and they were exceptional! The food was hot and delicious and there was plenty of food for the guest who wanted seconds. The wait staff the night was amazing as well. They set up our dessert bar for us, cleared tables, cut the cake and even help to clean up after the reception. We would absolutely use them again and again!

    I could not give you anything other than a glowing review. Everything you and
    your staff touched was spectacular. Ray, Jennifer, and Grant were at the venue
    right on time, set up quickly and efficiently, and were very professional. Everyone
    agreed that the food was incredible. It was very tasty and there was plenty of it.
    After the vow ceremony, and toast, we cut the cake and your ladies took over.
    It was truly a grand afternoon. My goal was to make my wife happy and she was
    beaming. When it was over, everything was clean and gone. Your staff was so
    efficient, it was like they were ghosts. I will be passing the word to everyone I
    contact who is looking to cater an event.
    I never did get to meet the other young lady. She expertly carving the
    pork and then she and Jennifer served the cake. Ray handled all the refreshments with aplomb. He was right on the money with the soft drinks and champagne for the toast.
    I could not have asked for a better afternoon and everyone agreed it was a
    great party. Thank you so much. Hopefully we'll need your services again...soon!

    My husband and I had Les Naiman cater our wedding in May 2018. We hired him about a year prior, and through the whole year Les was great about keeping in touch and keeping us on track. He helped us build the menu of our dreams - even opening his space for a tasting since I lived out of town. His staff that was working my event contacted me a week beforehand (in the midst of Derby) to go through all of the details. The food was delicious - I had so many compliments from wedding guests I can't even count them all. I would highly recommend Naiman's for all of your catering needs!!

    As someone who works in the wedding industry, I had high expectations for my own wedding which Naimen’s catering absolutely exceeded. I have received so many compliments about the food served and I am so happy that I chose to go with Les at Naimen’s catering. He was super helpful and answered all my questions with both in-home tastings and on-site meetings. I highly recommend Naimen’s catering for any event needs you have!

    I am a local wedding planner & floral designer in Louisville and have recommended Les to many of my clients. Our most recent wedding at Hermitage Farm was certainly one for the ages. Les provides custom service and quality and goes above and beyond to make everything perfect. His team always hustles hard and makes for a great vendor to work with on the day of weddings. I definitely recommend!

    Naiman's Catering by far out did themselves. Les was very helpful from the very beginning. He came to our house and gave us a personal taste testing that allowed us to choose the buffet items that we wanted. So many items to choose from and one was as good as the next. Les helped me choose wine selections and gave me names of places to purchase paper goods to save money. I was very grateful for that. A couple of days before the wedding, the person in charge of my catering event called me and set my mind at ease. She was so kind and friendly and assured me that she would make sure that the day went flawlessly. And it did. The food was delicious, plentiful and everyone was very full and happy. They even packed up "to go" plates for the grandparents who couldn't stay and those who couldn't make it. Then at the end of the evening they made sure that we were totally happy. They stayed and helped us clean up everything. I would recommend them wholeheartedly! A++

    I am so happy that you were totally happy. That is the aim and only goal at Naiman's Catering, for any client ,big or small. We pride ourselves on pleasing all of our clients and providing wonderful memories for everyone who attends

    I was initially drawn in by Naiman's because of their prices and excellent reviews. I scheduled a tasting (which was complimentary) and I was completely sold. Leslie Naiman came to my home and provided a delicious feast for my family and I to try everything he made. The food is incredible, it is NOTHING like basic plain soggy wedding food. It is so flavorful and unique.

    I ended up changing my menu around a few times, and each time Naiman's was so flexible and easy to contact and work with. On the day of the wedding, the service went so smoothly. We had no complaints from anyone, and several compliments. One server even brought out the appetizers to my wedding party while we were waiting to be announced! I thought that was an excellent touch.

    Again, I am so so pleased and would highly recommend this company.
