Big City Catering, Inc.

t helping us navigate through the food selection process, adjusting counts and table numbers and making sure we had everything we needed. Big City’s food was absolutely delicious day of and they even catered to special requests we had for specific passed hors d’oeuvres during cocktail hour. Teska made the the catering process so easy and wonderful! Big City is hands down recommended for great tasting food for an amazing wedding!

at our tasting, to the piping hot and super tasty food on the night of our wedding. I have absolutely no complaints. Everything was delicious and all of the guests were raving about how wonderful the buffet food was. I highly recommend Big City Catering for any event catering. p.s. ask them for chimichurri sauce with their medallion steaks. Yum!

raving about it that night and days after. Everything ran smoothly and they were super accommodating to kiddos and people with food allergies! I would certainly recommend Big City to any bride to be friends!

sting if you want to specifically taste something. We did however love our final dish. Our guest also raved about the food and said it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. We ordered the tomato bruschetta, buffalo meatball, pork sliders, herbed grilled chicken, bourbon street pork, green beans almondine, and mashed potatoes. Very happy with choices.

alad and the main courses. Wonderful meal for one of the most important events in your life!

sponded to all our emails and questions promptly and helped in any way she could to help make our day amazing!

our wedding. Job well done!!

h ALL of the catering services that were provided for our wedding. The guest raved about the food all night, and still two weeks later I am still getting compliments on how great the food was. The staff at Big City is beyond accommodating, friendly, and so easy to work with. They will definitely ease the stress of your wedding planning! We got to enjoy a complimentary tasting before we decided on their services and met personally with the chef and bartender to personalize our menu. Teska kept in constant contact with me, always reaching out to make sure I had everything I needed, and we couldn't have asked for a better turn out for our wedding. It was perfect!

kn buffet & we were worried about cold & chewy food but that was not the case. Everything was delicious, some people even went back for seconds.

transition was absolutely seamless and we loved working with Teska! Both ladies were absolutely wonderful!!! Incredibly sweet and easy to work with, super quick to respond to emails, never made me feel like I had silly questions, and made everything simple and straightforward!! The planning process was streamlined, their pricing was reasonable, and we loved their Grand Tasting event that allowed us to sample multiple food options - some of which we hadn't originally considered for our menu until we had a chance to sample them! On our wedding day I was a little flustered, but Teska was there and helped to reassure me that they had everything under control.....and that they did! The servers were awesome and took great care of our Guests. They also made sure that my husband and I were served first (what a treat!) and refilled our plates before we even needed to ask for seconds which was amazing. The Bartender was also hilarious and fantastic - he never let me have an empty glass in my hand and kept checking on me throughout the night to make sure I was drinking enough water (and wine haha!). Our guests were raving on how delicious the food was - I definitely recommend the chicken & waffle bites, the beef & bleu skewers, and the cheesy mac!! Thank you, Big City, for EVERYTHING!! Love, Steven & Jessica Grovenburg

ure for any other party, wedding, anniversary, holiday! LOVE THEM!

ts the service was impeccable. They stuck to a very carefully timed script for the vow renewal and the food was fantastic both times. I am very detail oriented and would recommend them without hesitation.

delicious my selections were. I had a Caribbean vibe menu. Every bite had that island taste. I want to thank you for your teams efforts to make my wedding happen. The table cloths I rented deffinetly made the room more colorful and vibrant looking.

d our special request of having a single bottle of Sriracha at our table. (I eat it with everything!) We got married in Florida even though we live in California, and despite the distance, they were easy and great to work with! We were married at Tavares Pavilion on the Lake, a venue they were very familiar with, which made us at ease, since they had worked with their staff many time sin the past. Hiring Big City Catering was a definite win in my book! Would definitely recommend.

they truly helped make that happen! What says southern more than fried chicken and mac and cheese? Our friends and family are still talking about the cheesy mac! Thanks to Big City for making the process so wonderful, and creating a delicious menu for us! Highly recommend you find a venue that Big City Catering works with, their food is something you'll be talking about for years to come!

it was not the easiest venue for them to work out of. However, the catering staff went above and beyond their duties to make sure the event went off with out any problems! I have had so many people tell me that the food was the best wedding food they have ever had! Also, the staff was super attentive to the groom and me on the day of. They made sure we had apps on our table when we sat. They also brought some drinks and apps to us while we were taking pictures during cocktail hr. I would recommend them to any bride!

ments from our guests! If you love Southern food, you absolutely need to get their fried chicken and mac and cheese! Tracy was our go-to for our wedding. An issue arose during our wedding but she was quick to fix it and spent a lot of time helping us leading up to our wedding. Thank you Tracy for all that you did!

it! Definitely recommend Big City Catering for your event!

pleased with all of the food options and also had an open bar. The entire staff were friendly and professional throughout our entire wedding and even packed up some food to-go for us since we didn't have much time to eat during the wedding. We enjoyed this on our patio at the hotel that same night :) I would definitely recommend Big City Catering hands down! :)

irst I was a bit nervous with the transition but, it work out fine and Aubrey was a charm to work with. The team at Big City Catering helped make our wedding night a “not so hangry” evening. Everyone one at our wedding including other vendors were raving about how delicious are food was. Everything from the fried sweet plantains and beef patties to the curry shrimp and coconut shrimp was exactly what we tasted and requested of Chef. Fabulous job Chef and Big City Catering for making all of our guest bellies full of scrumptious food, Thank you :)

ble. They were so sweet and attentive, even surprising us with two full meals to enjoy after the reception. Thank you so much for making our wedding perfect!! xoxo-Jen & Melissa Deegan

e plans changed as they are the only caterers permitted at our venue. We were provided the standard menus to pick from the standard options of each category so I was a little underwhelmed at first. The first thing that really won me over with Big City Catering was when I contacted them directly to discuss menu options. I received a response from Tom Pokorny, the owner of the company. He was really flexible and set up a meeting with me for when I was in town (it was a destination wedding for us from Canada). I couldn’t have been happier we did that, we talked about all the different items that they had prepared in the past, what they are capable of doing and he even shared with us some of his favourites. In the end we walked away with the perfect menu that captured the tastes of both my fiancé and I. On the day of the wedding, the food tasted amazing! People are still talking about the hors d'oeuvres, we went with Bleu & Beef Skewers at Tom’s recommendation and Mac and Cheese bites for myself. The wait staff was quick and friendly. I always hear of weddings where the bridal party gets no food because everything is all gone by the time the pictures are finished. This was definitely not the case with Big City Catering. The wait staff kept coming to the bridal party with full trays of hor d’oeuvres during pictures. Dinner was certainly the cherry on top, everything just kept getting better. I had requested mushroom ravioli with a cream sauce as one of the pasta dishes and it was by far the greatest thing that I have ever tasted! Our guests can’t stop raving about how good the food was. We could not be any happier with Big City Catering and I would definitely recommend them as #1 for food and service!

not on the menu that they were trying out just for us! We really felt special, and wined and dined, if you will. We were very particular on some of the flavors we wanted and how we wanted the beef cooked and seasoned, ect. And they did perfect! The team was so professional to work with the entire time, from that moment through the big day! On our busy wedding day, they made sure that my groom and I got all the food to try no matter where we were and had food ready for us wherever we were going! So, from the service, to menu to the DELICIOUS taste of the food, everything was exceptionally PERFECT!! I want more! LOL. Thank you so much Big City, I'm soooo glad we went with you guys!

ntually meeting with them was something I was doing just to be thorough, and I am so glad that I did. Kristina and her team were very knowledgeable, super nice, and were just as competitive as the rest of the caterers I had been looking into, but they offered so much value for the cost, I really lucked out. Any inane question I had was considered seriously and responded to promptly. I knew I wanted to go with them after making it to one of their sampled catered dinners. We had 150 people at our wedding, and multiple family members commented on the fantastic service they received, particularly from a wonderful server named who I want to say was named Silvana? She doted on seemingly so many women in my family. My bride, my grandmother, it seemed like half of my family had noticed this woman going above and beyond what you'd expect out of an event hosting so many guests, offering to bring food for my grandmother, brought drinks at dinner to my aunt and others, insisting to my bride who had finished her drink that red wine was good for body and brought a glass. I cannot recommend Big City Catering enough.

ering. Everything was perfect, all of my guests raved about the food. We had a macaroni and cheese bar and mashed potato bar and it was so fun for us and our guests! We also added an ice cream bar for dessert, instead of cake, and all of our guests said it was the best ice-cream ever! We met with Kristina multiple times before our wedding and she really goes above and beyond. My fiancé and I have become best friends with her after all of our communication and coordination of picking the best food ever for our big day. I wouldn’t even look at any other vendors for catering. Big City wins, hands down. Best food, best people, best everything. You won’t be disappointed at all, your expectations will be highly exceeded if you choose Big City. Thanks Kristina and thank you Big City Catering for making my wedding day the best ever. Oh and definitely get the crab cakes!

credibly prompt in answering emails, which always helped to ease my frantic bride mind! She was wonderful to work with, and our food tasting with her was so much fun! And the best part is, the food was delicious! It's been 2 months and I'm STILL getting compliments about it! Absolute must try items would be their coconut shrimp balls, mac and cheese bites, the pasta (the alfredo sauce was amazing!!) and their catfish! The catfish was to die for! If you're looking for delicious food and fantastic service, look no further than Big City Catering! And thank you to Kristina for making our day so perfect!

y threw in at the tasting made it into our final menu. All of my guests praised the food at the wedding, and Big City made sure my spouse and I had a plate ready for us at our table! In particular, the mac & cheese bar was a huge it.

it!

great job helping us select items that went well together, and we appreciated their willingness to adapt recipes, plating style, and portion sizes based on our feedback after the tasting. On the day of the wedding, the team was very professional and the food was excellent! We received so many compliments on the presentation and taste of the various dishes, such as beef skewers, chicken and waffles, and shrimp and grits. We'd been a bit nervous about getting through 6 courses in an hour with 80 guests, but the Big City team did an outstanding job. We also used their bar services, and the bar tenders did a great job of keeping up with orders to avoid lines and with mixing our signature cocktails. We highly recommend their services.

ds. They definitely know what they are doing and how to please their customers and guests! Highly recommend!

olite and gracious, and the food was without a doubt, simply mouthwatering! Thank you, Kristina, for giving us such a wonderful evening of fine dining. You guys are great!

answer questions or help us think of all the questions you can't, to the tasting where Chef Thomas walked us thru the different or courses and dishes we selected to taste (felt like I was a judge on Top Chef), and to the night of the event when hors d'oeuvres were brought to us while we took formals and our personal drink choices were brought to us right after so we could relax. Tracy and her staff made the night run smooth, Kristina made sure what we wanted was what we got, James and his colleague manning the bars made sure the drink kept running, and Chef Thomas made sure the food was memorable to all. If you want a place whose service, quality, and attention to detail far exceeds the price you're paying then Big City is definitely for you. I guarantee months later your family's and friends mouths will start to water every time they think back to your special night.

istina Mollo who was so professional, caring and knowledgeable - it really made our experience great! The day of our go-to person was Tracy - who is also amazing! I can't say enough about how delicious the food was and everyone commented on it. They really know how to handle a large professional event and took care of everything - as the bride, I could not have asked for more - I knew it was going to be great the day of and was not worried one bit. The staff took special care of my father who could not walk well and other elderly members of the family who could not go through the buffet line. Kristina was also there with me right before I walked down the isle to help with timing (totally not her responsibility, but since I did not have a day of coordinator - she volunteered :) Love Love Love the chef and all of the staff. Great experience and I would recommend them to everyone!

went back to the buffet for seconds), and I'm still getting compliments on the food!

where the venue could not. And let me tell you it was amazing. We had a special entrance for the groom for the ceremony and they were apart of it, and they made it happen. and our guests could not say enough about the food and the service. And most of our friends are in the food and beverage industry, which is a tall order. And they stepped up and exceeded all of my expectations. I didn't have to worry about anything and they made sure my groom and I were taken care of perfectly. :)

nd, boring and not good at all. Big City's food exceeded our expectations and all wedding food we have ever had, it was like going to a restaurant and ordering a delicious meal. They are very attentive of any food allergies of you and your guests. And the chef was so accommodating of any foods we wanted to try prior to the wedding and any changes we wanted to make. Big City is Top notch when it comes to catering food, our guests are still talking about how good it was! We also used their bar services and they also we excellent!

eally attentive. Any time I looked around confused they were like "what can we do to help?"

e whole night, not just for us, but for our guests, too. All of our guests raved about Tracy. I was beyond thrilled with this company! Thank you so much for a wonderful wedding!

were given a private tasting (which was unusual for our venue), and even just the tasting was a fantastic experience. We asked for a few modifications, and they were gracious enough to work with us. The Chef (Thomas) was there to take any notes we had, and on the day of the wedding, he himself came out to check to make sure that we were happy with the results. Tracy was there every minute of the reception to ensure that we had everything that we needed and that we were actually able to EAT during our wedding! We got MANY MANY compliments on the food and service after the wedding. Everything was delicious! James also stood out. He was at the bar for the majority of the evening, and he was possibly the BEST bartender I've ever seen! Each time I came to the bar to get my favorite wine, he had it poured and ready for me by the time I got there. I heard from several of my guests by the end of the night that their experience was similar. He had their orders memorized and ready to go for them! I couldn't have been more pleased to have Big City cater the wedding, and I probably would have chosen them no matter what, simply based upon the excellent service they provide!

een on not being given a choice but it worked out in the end. They even worked with my husband to buy beef from his company for the beef burgundy!

lity and taste. My only qualm is that they as a stand alone catering company have an expansive and creative menu, but at Cypress Grove it is much more limited and changes cost extra. If I hadnt seen their other menu I would not have cared. And day of my guests certainly didnt care, and neither did I. Everything was delicious and the service was great!

almost perfect. We had just a minor misunderstanding on the groom's salad (diet restrictions) and drink choice. I would never have picked anyone else!

ulous job of coordinating our other vendors! All of the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. You would be crazy to use anyone else!

and even found us a last minute wedding coordinator! Everyone at the wedding loved the food and service! Big City is a great company if you are looking for individualized attention and and awesome food! The stuffed mushrooms are INCREDIBLE!!!!!!

of our favorite meals. Requests made for changes in menu items (e.g., swapping pecans for walnuts in the salad) were honored with no problems. All the guests made noted that the food was great! Great team!!

ge some recipes to make them gluten free for my husband!! Having a smaller wedding I was worried that finding a caterer that would care about a small wedding would be difficult, but Brittney never made me feel less important than any other Bride and I truly appreciated that!! They took care of every detail and my day turned out to be exactly what I dreamt it would be!!

r that Big City has (Shannon) is fantastic. She took care of every detail and did way more than she was required to! Big City made our day such a success

Always willing to give advice on all aspects of my wedding. They tailored a custom menu for my husband and I. We have received so many compliments on how great the food was. The staff at the reception was very helpful and friendly. I would most definitely recommend BC to any other bride.

ree or the german food menue items I wanted I found Big City. Once I talked to Shannon on the phone and expressed what I was looking for she assured me that it wouldn't be an issue, and it wasn't. The food was absolutely amazing, I selected jager schnitzel, perogies, spatzle and a beef carving station. My family from Germany was even raving about how good the food was. I was so happy that I was able to have everything at my wedding with out having to worry about becoming ill from the food. I'm pretty sure I'm the only Bride I know that loved her food so much that I got seconds :) They were amazing
