If food is something you want to stand out at your wedding, then the OLMO catering team is for you! Chef Steph did an amazing job with a family style dinner on our September 2022 wedding day. The comments and compliments about how amazing the food was have been non stop from our wedding guests. People could not get over how it was not your "typical wedding meal". We loved that many of the ingredients used were purchased morning of at local farmers markets. Both Craig and Jason really worked with us to create a menu we loved and also tasted amazing. Brendan did a great job executing all of the day of details. Their staff was super friendly and ready to help wherever needed. Our wedding planner, who has worked with many catering companies, shared that she really loved working with the OLMO team. I think that says a lot right there! We really can't thank the OLMO team enough. I highly recommend!! -

We used Olmo for my daughter and son in laws wedding this past weekend at Chatfield Hollow Farm in Killingworth CT. Olmo catered the wedding. They provided wonderful farm to table food that couldn't be more delicious. Also this was a wedding during Covid time and their staff was very safe and always masked. The staff was friendly and courteous. In addition Olmo catered a casual breakfast for 20 at the property for guests who stayed over night. Wonderful muffins, begals, frittata, lox, coffee and tea. I would highly recommend this caterer. Great current on trend organic food choices that are absolutely delicious. I can't say enough about this organization. Was extremely pleased. Got tremendous feedback from the guests as well. And the bride and groom were over the moon happy! -

Jeff R. Sent on 04/19/2022Great Vendor Experience with OLMO
We got to work, vendor to vendor, with OLMO at a recent wedding at Branford House in Groton, CT. Leading up to the wedding a couple of concerns cropped up. OLMO was very quick to convene a Zoom call where we quickly worked out solutions. Then, on the day of the wedding, they really went into action. Brendan and his front of house team offered up their services to us and helped with setup. This included moving tables and chairs, decorating the reception area, moving furniture, etc. Really anything we asked them to help with they were there for us -- all the while the chefs were preparing a fantastic meal in the basement kitchen. Due to weather, we were forced indoors for cocktail hour which meant an extremely quick turnover from the ceremony. Again, OLMO was there for us, helping to move 130 chairs and other items into place so the main room could be cleared for cocktail hour. Service during the reception was first rate and there Brendan and team were again during teardown. In short, we could not have done what we did without OLMO. We look forward to working with them again. Jeff -- Plan-it Vicki. -

Short story: Olmo is awesome and they make delicious food! I would absolutely recommend them!
Now for the details: Jason at Olmo worked with us to create our dream wedding menu, which covered various favorite foods my husband and I have shared over the years. We had everything from prosciutto-wrapped cantaloupes and meat skewers for appetizers, to various tacos, spanish-style ribs with rice and beans, and an addictively delicious pesto pasta salad for dinner. For dessert, we had glazed donuts, mini apple fritters, and an assortment of sorbet and italian ices for dessert. We were so excited to be able to share our favorite flavors with our loved ones on our wedding day, and really appreciated the Olmo team's flexibility and enthusiasm in making this happen for us. When we said we wanted Spanish style ribs to go with some rice and beans for dinner, they got a family recipe from one of their team members and delivered tender flavorful ribs that had my Puerto Rican father-in-law asking to hire them for future family parties. Throughout the whole day, we had wedding guests coming up to us saying they LOVED the food and asking if there was more food coming that they had to save room for, because they wanted to get seconds, thirds, and fourths. Their servers were really great, so professional and kind. Throughout the process leading up to our wedding, they were easy to work with, responsive, and professional. We thoroughly enjoyed working with them and eating all of the food they cooked (and it was a lot!). -

Are you getting married in Connecticut? Do you love incredible food? Have Olmo cater your wedding. It’s honestly that simple.
My now-husband and I are probably unusual when it comes to our wedding planning process: We started with the food. I have been a fan of Olmo for quite some time now, and when my husband and I started thinking about planning a wedding, we knew we wanted them to cater it, so much so that we actually chose our venue (South Farms in Morris, CT) in part because the folks at Olmo said they had collaborated with South Farms on weddings previously.
We have absolutely no regrets about prioritizing the food, and specifically Olmo. None.
The menu at our wedding was absurdly delicious. From the grilled cheese and tomato soup served as guests walked from our ceremony to cocktail hour, to the heaping cheese and charcuterie boards and homemade cornbread with maple bacon butter at the cocktail hour, to the crisp salads and veggies, mac and cheese, brisket, and the most delicious chicken you’ve ever had for dinner, to the freshly fried apple cider doughnuts for dessert, all of the food was incredibly delicious. They even made burgers and fries to send everyone home with, which was a huge hit!
People raved. They are still raving. The only downside to having Olmo cater our wedding is the number of times I hear people put down other couples’ wedding catering in comparison to ours!
On top of this, the team at Olmo is incredibly kind and truly down to earth. This is not your typical catering company, but a team of culinary pros who really love food and entertaining. They genuinely care about the couples they work with and want you to have an incredible, one-of-a-kind dining experience at your wedding.
You will not regret booking them. (And your guests will be delighted that you did!)
My husband’s review: “In the weeks since I’ve gotten married, I’ve become very used to hearing, ‘The wedding was amazing… and I can’t believe how great the food was!’ My relatives and friends raved about the food, and weren’t wrong. Olmo made the catering process so easy for us. They worked around our preferences and dietary needs, and even adapted their catering to the venue. (We had an outdoor wedding on a hill, and Olmo had grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup for the guests as they walked down!) Thanks to Olmo, the food was never a concern for us while we planned our wedding. We knew it would be delicious – and it was!”

Jason and his team at Olmo are nothing short of miracle workers. Our wedding was an intimate occasion with fewer than fifty guests. Large family gatherings around food are the best memories I possess, and I wanted our wedding to feel like the ultimate Sunday get-together. My wife and I were planning a Connecticut wedding all the way from Los Angeles, so suffice it to say we were under a lot of stress.
After our first call with Jason, we realized the menu was in the best hands possible. He accommodated our time zone difference with late evening phone calls. He was receptive to our vision and inspired our confidence in him that quite literally felt like it was lifting a burden off our shoulders. We were free to focus our efforts on everything else because we knew everyone would be well fed and the food would be the ultimate center-piece on every table. Jason started us out by asking about our cultures and favorite foods that we would want to see featured. He let us think as grandly as we wanted, but helped to tame our wild ambitions to fit a coherent menu, the freshest seasonal offerings, and of course, our budget. He was professional, patient, and warm, which was welcome during a very stressful time.
While my opening miraculous description may seem hyperbolic, allow me to present you with this. I am 100% Puerto Rican, and I had my heart set on pernil (slow roasted pork shoulder) for the wedding. Ultimately, it made more sense to go with chicken as the protein for many reasons that far outweighed my personal preference. The pulled chicken that Jason and his team made was so good, so perfectly cooked, so juicy and flavorful, that my brother-in-law, another full-blooded Puerto Rican, asked, “How did they get the pernil to be this good?” Water to wine. Chicken to swine. If that is not one of the most impressive acts of transubstantiation, I don’t know what is.
So many guests at our wedding made it a point to specifically tell us that they usually expect wedding food to be “meh,” but the food we served was far from it. If you are planning on getting married in Connecticut, you can do no better than choosing Olmo to cater. Many thanks to Jason and his team for preparing a beautiful, tasty dinner for us and our loved ones. -

Olmo catered my 40-person wedding and it was absolutely perfect. Not only was the food amazing, but they made the planning process so painless by suggesting menu items, giving me so much flexibility with the menu, and being incredibly responsive and accomodating every step of the way. Great food and great people! -
