    Best Food to Match the Best Day Ever!

    Having yummy food was a big priority for us when we were planning our wedding. The Deco Catering exceeded all expectations! We are so pleased with their services; the planning process through the wedding day was so easy with their help and flexibility. We received many compliments on our wedding food - from the butler served unique appetizers to the full dinner to the desserts and late night snacks - our bellies were full and everyone was so happy. We would recommend the Deco for all catering needs!

    Excellent wedding food!

    We hired Deco for our wedding caterer and their food is to die for! It’s way better than your traditional wedding dinner food. All of their dishes have so much flavor and all of our guests genuinely enjoyed their meals. The staff at Deco was more than accommodating and were absolutely wonderful to work with. We were able to schedule a personal tasting experience and try all of the food in advance. They made that such a fun experience for us. Deco was also super accommodating with all allergies and meal situations, which was so easy to communicate and get taken care of in advance. We loved working with Deco and their food is AMAZING!

    Amazing Food and Amazing Team

    When we first worked with Deco, Danielle was our coordinator. She was incredibly knowledgeable about our venue as well as Deco’s menu options. She was wonderful to work with for our tasting, and she was super friendly. We had to postpone our 6/6/20 wedding, and she worked quickly to get us rescheduled to 6/12/21.

    Due to the slow roll out of the vaccine at the beginning of 2021 and 80% of our guests coming from out of state, we decided to push our date one last time to 11/6/21. As soon as we rebooked with the venue, I reached out to Danielle to reschedule again. I found out that Danielle had left Deco, and Antigoni was our new coordinator. She got us rescheduled right away which was helpful.

    Prior to COVID, Danielle met with us for a tasting. I can’t tell you how amazing the food was just at the tasting! I’ve been to weddings before, and most of them had average food. We did our tasting in 2019, and we kept talking about how good it was up until our actual wedding.

    A couple weeks before the wedding, our event manager Sam reached out to confirm all our counts and made sure we had everything we needed set up for the day. She was so easy to work with. I’m so appreciative of the entire staff at Deco!

    The day of, the food was just as good as we remembered! Our passed appetizers were the California sliders, sweet chili chicken skewers, and bruschetta. Our entree choices were the beef tenderloin, wild rice stuffed chicken, and three cheese lasagna. We also had a late-night snack of tomato soup shooters with grilled cheese. It’s been two weeks since our wedding, and our friends and family are still talking about the food!

    I’m so thankful we had such an amazing caterer. Our food was amazing, and everyone was so easy to work with!

    Loved Deco!

    We had such a great experience with Deco. They accommodated us during the pandemic, were incredibly responsive, helpful, and great to work with over the last 6 months. The value was amazing; we can’t tell you how many comments we got about this being the best wedding food ever. And we agree! Thanks, Deco!

    Delicious and Beautiful Food!

    We did butler-passed appetizers and had an appetizer buffet for dinner. All of the food was beautifully presented and tasted amazing! The variety was great, and the Deco was able to accommodate the different dietary needs of our guests (vegan, dairy-free, etc. options.). The Deco was easy to coordinate with and work with. They made the perfect amount of food--everyone got enough to eat and there were hardly any leftovers.

    They also made our cake. We went with a carrot cake, which looked beautiful and tasted great.

    Deco was so accommodating!

    We had a limited list of vendors to chose from for food and beverage. Not only was Deco the most affordable option, but the food was great too. Danielle was extremely responsive and easy to work with. She let us pay in multiple installments and special ordered Busch Light for my Dad, Fulton Seltzer for me and made sure to order a special meal to accommodate my dietary restrictions. We had light passed apps with a plated dinner. There was one small miscommunication about the open hours for the bar, but the staff on site quickly remedied it and Danielle addressed it afterwards as well.

    Amazing Experience

    Deco was so great to work with. They went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect and were so accommodating to all of our requests. They were incredibly reasonably priced, and the food was absolutely amazing! We got married 1.5 months ago and people are still telling us that they had the best food they've ever had at a wedding at our reception. We definitely recommend them!

    We used Deco for our wedding and we could not be happier! We have gotten SO many compliments on the food. Deco also provided our wedding cake, which looked beautiful and tasted great! I highly recommend Deco!

    We had a wonderful experience working with Heikki and the Deco crew - as others note, Heikki is extraordinarily responsive and we loved their flexibility. We knew right away we wanted to work with Deco as we remembered their food being great at a friend's wedding, and once we saw their extremely reasonable prices, we moved forward right away. The team was extremely professional on the day of the wedding and everything went flawlessly! Got rave reviews for the food all around.

    Food was the most important part of my wedding to me. Deco helped me decide how many appetizers I needed, and what food service I needed. And they were willing and able to accommodate those with allergies, and even brought in lefsa! (a family favorite)

    Deco was honestly the best. Heikki was so responsive throughout the process. The food and presentation on my wedding day were amazing. I honestly was so impressed. But not only was I impressed but my guests were shocked. I had so many people come up to me during and even days after the wedding and the first thing they said was the quality of food was the best they have ever had. Deco is a quality run catering company and I would recommend them to everyone.

    AMAZING!!!! Seriously amazing. They were willing to work with our budget and wishes to have a different wedding menu. We did burgers and pretzels! They are super responsive and do a great job. Especially Heather Asbury. She is amazing and literally gets back to you within an hour every time. Ask to work with her. Literally my favorite person/vendor out of everyone who I had to deal with during 18 months of wedding planning. HIGHLY recommend!

    Deco's food was heaven on a plate. Our guests raved and their service was impeccable. They guided us on menu selection and helped create food that honored our respective cultures and was vegetarian friendly. Heikki and team rocked this celebration and exceeded our expectations!!!

    We could not have been happier with our choice of Deco for our Aria wedding. We planned our wedding from out of town, and initially picked Deco because Heikki was so responsive and easy to work with by e-mail. We can not stress this enough - the response time and attentiveness was incredible. The food was delicious and we heard many compliments from our guests (including that it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding). Deco even thought of bringing along paper plates for our late pizza (not even ordered through Deco.) They were great!

    I chose my wedding venue (413 on Wacouta) so that I could hire Deco Catering for my wedding. Their positive reviews, reputation, and menu contributed to us hiring Deco Catering for our wedding. I cannot tell you how many guests at our wedding told us it was the best wedding food they had ever had. I was elated because that is exactly why I hired Deco Catering.

    At our initial tasting with Deco Catering, the food blew us away. Everything was plated beautifully, seasoned properly, and cooked to perfection. We chose our favorite appetizers and entrees easily and decided to go with a buffet. I knew I wanted the Deco Catering buffet because of the amount of dishes included for my guests. I wanted them to feel as if they were at a King's feast of delicious delicacies and I feel that we accomplished that.

    The salmon and beef tenderloin were absolute perfection. They were 5 star quality and I saw several guests go back for seconds. The floral centerpiece, tiered fruit display, and plating of the buffet blew people away. I received so many compliments I cannot even explain!

    Deco Catering exceeded our expectations which were pretty high. It was the best wedding food people had every experienced. I highly recommend hiring Deco Catering for their class, customer service, attention to detail and DELICIOUS food! You cannot go wrong with this family owned and operated business! #staylocal

    The Deco has hands down the best food I've ever had from a catering company. The staff are awesome to work with. We were invited back for a second tasting after they had added new meal choices to their menu because they were so excited for us to try them. I would 100% recommend this caterer.

    Deco is the best!!! We had them cater our wedding at Aria last weekend, and it was one of the best decisions we made while wedding planning. The food was delicious (we kept hearing over and over how good it was from guests), the service was excellent, and they are SO easy to work with. Our photographer commented that when he saw the Deco truck pull up, he knew he'd be eating really well! Their pricing is also extremely reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food and service. If you want a beautiful and delicious buffet without any planning headaches, hire Deco!

    From the first tasting, the Deco team was a breeze to work with, and their food was incredible. Heikki always responded to phone calls and emails quickly and with all the information we needed (we were planning our wedding from out of town, so responsiveness was important)! We also worked with them on dessert, which everyone at the wedding loved. Having a Scandinavian company cater our MN wedding was also a plus for us!

    Deco Catering was impressive from the first taste test. Every entree choice was amazing and far exceeds any other wedding food we have tasted. The food was fresh, well thought out, and of highest quality. The service was extremely professional and everyone loved what they ordered. We are so happy we chose Deco Catering for our wedding.

    We had an absolutely phenomenal experience with Deco Catering. The owners were friendly, professional, and responsive. They provided a free tasting and wide variety of menu options. The food itself was *amazing* - we received many compliments that it was the best wedding food our guests had ever tasted, and we agree. The presentation was beautiful, and the staff were excellent. One suggestion - bring large food containers to the venue, as they will pack up delicious leftovers for you, but you need to have your own containers. Deco was also very reasonably priced compared to other quotes we received, and the quality exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended!

    Deco provided us with the most amazing food for our wedding. We could not have been happier with the presentation, taste, and professionalism of the company. Heikki was excellent to work with. Our tasting was just as amazing as the food prepared on our wedding night. I have received so many compliments for having such good food at our wedding! WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND DECO for any catering needs.
