Darren and all of the staff were wonderful to work with from start to finish and provided some truly delicious food for our wedding. They had such great variety in their dishes and they executed them all to perfection. Guests were commenting how amazing the food was all night and we couldn't have asked for a better evening. It was a pleasure working with the Olympia crew and they truly helped make our night so special. Thanks! -

Olympia was the inclusive caterer through our wedding venue, but honestly we would’ve gone with them even if that wasn’t the case! We opted to add some extra options and were thoroughly impressed with them! SUPER yummy, the beef tenderloin was particularly amazing, and the cilantro pesto that came with it was one of the best things I’ve ever tasted!! -

We used Olympia Catering for our wedding at the Museum of Fine Arts in St. Pete. They are the required catering vendor for this venue, and we are SO glad that they were!! We had several guests tell us it was the best wedding food they had ever had. We had a buffet with the signature chicken dish and the balsamic braised short ribs. For dessert, we had the mini pies and the gelato cart. Our guests RAVED about it! From the tasting session to wedding day, we were so pleased with the professionalism and quality of the service from Darren and the event staff. I cannot recommend Olympia enough!! -

5-star food 5-star service. If you’re in Tampa BOOK NOW
I have never heard SO MANY people rave about wedding food until now. My husband and I chose a buffet style meal with comfort food including grilled cheese, chicken and waffles, and shrimp and grits as well as two custom cocktail drinks and I wish they were a restaurant it was downright AWESOME! Their service was JUST as amazing!!! The team lead made sure my husband and I had food and drinks in our hand the entire time and went above and beyond for us and our families making sure we were personally taken care of. Everyone in the team were so helpful and caring and we just can’t give enough praise! If you’re looking for personalized service with food that is memorable this is the catering you NEED. -

Olympia Catering serviced our wedding at the Museum of Fine Arts on 4/22/22. Darren and his team are incredibly professional and accommodating. Our guests RAVED about the food and the event staff were professional and attentive. As a couple who was affected by the pandemic, we are so appreciative of Olympia's kindness and flexibility during our longer-than-expected wedding planning process. -

Darren was extremely helpful. We are from out of town and had to do a virtual tasting. He gave great suggestions and was very personable. The food, presentation and team were perfect. Couldn’t have asked for more. -

Olympia did an amazing job at our wedding! We had to moved around our wedding multiple times due to coronavirus and personal reasons. They were very accommodating and the food was so good! Multiple guest told us it was the best catering they ever had. The ravioli was soo good! Darren made sure we also got a whole plate full of cocktail food! The employees were so nice and everyone very helpful!
We were very happy to have them as part of our big day! -

Olympia Catering did an absolutely phenomenal job on my wedding day! From our first inquiry, we were connected with Sherry. She was very responsive during the times that mattered and was very thorough and detailed in the emails and the quote. Our tasting went great — they prepare a nice, reception-table-like environment for you, with some of the chargers, plates, etc. on display while you try your food. They’re generous with how much food you get to sample and they were very quick to get the appetizers and entrees out onto our table. The food was DELICIOUS. My husband and I work in the wedding industry and were already weary about having chicken for our wedding — a lot of chicken at weddings is dry and rough. But we were blown away by Olympia’s Signature Chicken Roulade. It was BY FAR the best chicken I’d ever tasted, not just at a wedding, but period. We tried their Filet with Pomegranate Reduction as well and it was cooked to absolute perfection. We decided to splurge and do their dual-entree plate so that we can give all of our guests both. For appetizers during cocktail hour, we did chicken and waffle cones, braised beef quesadilla, lobster BLT, and orange-glaze jumbo shrimp. The entire night we received so much praise from our guests how amazing all of the food was. It was really important to us that our food wasn’t sub-par, but we’re elated at how much over expectations everything was. The staff on the wedding day were also great and I’m so very thankful at how much effort they put in in setting up the tables, even the dessert table full of desserts that I didn’t even get from them. I could tell that they just wanted everything set up to perfection and we couldn’t appreciate their effort more. HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend!!! :)
— Love, Jennifer & Scott

Sherri and staff were so professional and the food was absolutely amazing. Everything was just as good as our initial tasting appointment in January. All of the guests commented on how fabulous the food was and Sherri goes above and beyond to ensure the cocktail hour and reception is perfect. Planning a wedding during the pandemic created some last minute changes for us but Sherri was always flexible and willing to help us. We were so happy with our choice to book Olympia and would not have changed a thing! -

All my guests loved the catered food for our wedding by Olympia Catering. They said that it was not your typical boring wedding food, which is usually lack luster, but that the food was delicious! The tasting was great, and Ms. Sherri Salsbury is truly a gem and helped us so much in choosing our menu! Loved it! -

Olympia surpasses our expectations! The food was absolutely amazing, all of our guest enjoyed their meals. Mrs. Sherri and her team were prepared for anything that came their way. We had a slight change of plans the day of our wedding due to weather conditions but due to the extra preparation of Mrs. Sherri and her team the day went on without anyone noticing. For future events I would for sure book Olympia again ! -

Sherry was a gem. Loved working with her and the staff. Food was on time and everything was hot and deliciously tasting. We had no complaints about the food, service, and the staff looked professional. The Banquet host ensured we all had appetizers and that our drinks were full and ensured we were cared for the entire evening. Cannot thank them enough for adding to such a great experience! -

Olympia catering was delicious! We had a buffet at our wedding for 150 people. They actually served us (the bride and groom) a plated dinner while everyone else went through the line so we actually had a chance to eat at our own wedding! Everything from the tasting to the cake serving was perfect.

Lynn Sent on 12/02/2019Wow! They were amazing!
Where to start? The food was fabulous. Guests began pulling me aside during the cocktail hour with rave reviews. Every entree was delicious. A few people even told me the filet was one of the very best they’d eaten—it was miles better than the one we had at a local restaurant during the rehearsal dinner the night before. I don’t know how food tastes that good and is at the perfect temperature made on location. Beyond that, Sherri was exceptionally flexible and patient through ALL my changes as the menu vision evolved. And—many, many people went out of their way to complement the serving staff—genuinely friendly, always checking in, forever gracious. Everything from beginning to the ending midnight soup shooters and pie bar was stellar. Very, very happy with this choice. You won’t regret choosing Olympia as your caterer. -

Courtney Sent on 12/16/2019Exceptional service
I worked with Nancy for a year and unfortunately she got very sick the week of my wedding. She introduced me to Staci who would be my day of coordinator. I was honestly freaking out a little...until I met her. She exceeded all of my expectations and the entire day went flawlessly. If I could give Staci 10 stars I would, she was that amazing.
The food was also very good and I received many compliments from the guests. Everyone said the servers were awesome, professional and very attentive.
I am very pleased with the service I received and highly recommend them to everyone. -

Olympia catering was fabulous in attending to everything we wanted for our big day. We had dozens of options to choose from, and the day-of staff was so sweet- constantly waiting on us and making our guests feel so special! I even messaged them the day before because I had forgotten about a vegan guest, and they were so accommodating and made sure she had a plate that fit her dietary needs. We had the peach and red onion jam chicken, roasted red potatoes, southern green beans, and yummy strawberry salad for supper. Cocktail hour appetizers were such a huge hit- pork sliders, fried mac n cheese, sriracha deviled eggs and chicken n waffle bites! Everything was fabulous and I would absolutely recommend the Olympia Catering team for your big day. -

Olympia was an absolute perfect choice for our wedding! They were amazing from the very beginning as they helped us choose the most delicious hor d'oeuvres and dinner for our guests. Darren offered advice along the way with decisions regarding the table setting and more. On the day of, Olympia's team worked seamlessly with our wedding venue staff at Nova 535 to ensure everything was perfect. Our guests are still raving about how great the food was. Choosing Olympia as our caterer was the best decision ever. Highly recommend! You will NOT be disappointed.Olympia Catering & Events's reply:

Our decision to hire Olympia was made after the first bite at our scheduled tasting. Sherri went above and beyond helping us create a delicious and memorable menu for our wedding guests. We appreciated her honesty when it came to certain dishes and trusted her judgement and suggestions on others. The staff was so professional and attentive the day of our wedding, and the food was absolutely delicious. So many of our guests continue to talk about how good the food was. Thank you, Sherri, for exceeding our expectations!Olympia Catering & Events's reply:
