We had the pleasure of working with Amici’s for our wedding, and they truly exceeded all of our expectations! From the initial consultation to the big day, everything was seamless and stress-free. The team was professional, friendly, and incredibly accommodating to all our requests (i.e. vegetarian dishes).
The food was nothing short of amazing! Every dish was beautifully presented, and the staff was so kind, attentive and efficient. All of our guests were talking about how great the food was.
On top of how great the food was, we felt like we got an incredible deal as well. Many vendors offered 2-3 appetizers for cocktail hour, however with Amici’s we got 4. It was very reasonable for how much and how delicious the food was!
We could not recommend Amici’s enough, truly they helped make our day so fun and memorable!
All my guest raved about how good the food was. Highly recommend this vendor
I cannot give enough kudos to Lori and her staff. The food and set up were literally the BEST I have ever encountered! Lori was a joy to work with from finish to start. She was honest and reasonable. Everyone raved about the food and not one piece of leftover was thrown out. Her prices are unbeatable. Save yourself the headache and call her now, you will NOT be disappointed! Thank you!!
I could not have asked for a better caterer! Not only was the food absolutely AMAZING and in my budget. Lori and all of her staff were so awesome it brought tears to my eyes! They helped in ways I wasn't expecting and really made my wedding day that much more special! Thank you so much Amici! I will be eternally grateful ❤
Fantastic food for our wedding reception! Amici Catering was very easy to work with in creating a special menu for our event. They were punctual, professional, flexible, and the food was delicious! We also hired a bartender who did a great job making sure everybody was well taken care of. If we have any special events in the future, we will definitely be hiring Amici Catering!
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 quite 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!!
Always on time and above and beyond with food and service.They know what you need before you even think of it,Can't say enough about Amici's.
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! We can honestly say our wedding would not have turned out as perfect as it did without them. Thank you amici for helping make our wedding day, the best day of our lives!
I have had several events that have been catered by Amici catering. The food is absolutely amazing and the service is above and beyond each and every time. Scott and Lori always go the extra mile for us and I think is truly appreciated.
We all know bad news travels fast, but when I have an opportunity to share GREAT news, I love to take advantage of it. Amici Catering not only has a great staff who does their best to go above and beyond, their food is simple but so so tasty. I would love to go back and taste test again. Maybe I could pretend to be a new bride again. Ha!
I highly recommend Amici Catering for any event specialty. The staff was very professional, friendly and energetic towards my guests. The entire planning process went smoothly as well. The owners, Lori and Scott, were wonderful to work with. I had an idea more less on how I wanted my reception menu, Lori was able to assist me and cater to my style and taste! I plan to use Amici Catering for my up coming events in the future! :)
I highly recommend Amici Catering. They made my brunch wedding a huge success! The food was perfect, and everything tasted amazing. Lori was a pleasure to work with and her crew were extremely helpful the day of the wedding with making sure my husband I got to eat, even cleaning up some messy guests. The active action stations kept everyone entertained. If I ever have another big event Amici will be my first call for catering.
I was so happy with Amici Catering!! My guests were raving about the food. The owner Lori helped me create an incredible menu, gave me suggestions for wedding touches I would not have thought of, and helped with any questions I had regarding my table arrangements, linens, and floral companies. Amici goes above and beyond and the service staff is amazing!
Working with Amici Catering was a very good experience. The food was exceptional and our special requests were handled with no problem. Even our friend who is in the commercial food industry was impressed! The staff that came out to our wedding was kind and attentive. They took time to introduce themselves and behaved professionally the entire time they were there. I could not have asked for a better experience.
We will be hiring amici catering again, and again.
Lori and her team were the best. Flexible, professional, and helped make our wedding day perfect.
