I chose Amici Catering for my wedding after looking at their reviews and I am glad that I did! They were professional to work with and kind to my guests. We were having a small wedding at my aunt's house with light apps and dinner. I wasn't qui...
te sure of the type of food I wanted but Lori helped walk me through the whole process (including a tasting!). We decided to go with a Southwest theme including the corn tamale cakes with chicken and mushrooms (ymmmm!), street tacos, a southwestern salad, roasted vegetables, and chips with salsa and guacamole. There was more than enough food and the servers helped to ensure my guests got a good portion of everything. Lori and her team made my wedding a hit! They set up, served, and cleaned up very efficiently. I received so many compliments of the staff and the amazing food which I have to pass directly on to Lori! Thank you for making our special day wonderful and stress free!

5/5 stars doesn’t actually do Amici justice. Their service extends beyond the quality of food which was phenomenal. Amici was recommended by a friend and I’m so happy that we decided to go with them. The food was incredible but the staff might ...
have been more impressive (if that’s possible). The servers were incredibly competent, polite, and hospitable. They not only served our food, but cleaned up everyone’s empty plates and trash as we finished dinner. The staff was happy to go above and beyond to make our day extra special in any way that they could. Wedding days are a very important but potentially stressful time, and Amici made the catering part so easy. We would recommend them to any and everyone! Thanks again Amici!!

Sarah and I had the time of our lives on our wedding day! She would like me to say it was due to all the love we share with each other, but it was really because of lori and her Amici team. From the beginning, it felt like Lori was my favorite ...
family member who was helping us plan our day and she thought of all the things I didn’t think to think about. She was innovative, didn’t provide generic recommendations for food or decor, and turned my semi-decent ideas into pure magic! On our wedding day, I didn’t have to worry about a single detail. We paid for a caterer but got a wedding coordinator, hosts, entertainment, and amazing service (or at least it felt that way). The Amici team is a dream and I would have another wedding just to hang out with them again (don’t tell my wife)! -I’ll settle for a birthday.

Amici catering is an absolute MUST for your wedding or any event for that matter! Not only was the food absolutely amazing, the owner Lori and Scott went above and beyond to make our day extra special and run smoothly. She decorated her whole ...
catering table to match our enchanted forest theme, she helped coordinate with the rest of our staff, and she even had her staff pass out appetizers that we personally made!
