My fiance and I love pizza so we hired Nelly Belly Pizza Food Truck for our wedding. We never had a chance to taste their food at a retail event, but were not too concerned because we love almost all pizza and a friend was at a wedding they were at and said they were amazing. Needless to say, pizza was beyond the normal pizza and exceeded our expectations. The crust was perfect and the ingredients were top notch. The veggie lovers had fresh garden veggies such as zucchini, fresh Ohio corn off the cob, basil pesto etc.. so much better than a typical veggy pizza. They even had a gluten free crust on hand for my boss' wife who we had no idea needed that for dietary reasons. The pepperoni was the really good kind that curls up and chars on top. They made the planning simple and the event was seamless. We highly recommend them to everyone.

We had the Nelly Belly's food truck at our wedding a couple of weeks ago and we could not have been more impressed! Nelly Belly was so easy to work with - they made the process totally seamless. At the wedding, they were so kind and every guest thoroughly enjoyed everything they had to offer. Some guests even said "It was the best pizza we've ever tasted!" Thanks for making our day seamless and special Nelly Belly, we highly recommend!

Nelly Belly Pizza Truck was the highlight of our wedding. It was the most talked about the next day. I think having something different than the usual catered food made it a hit. The pizza was fantastic and they really made our day! Everyone even commented on how pleasant and friendly the staff was. That made a big difference, too. I recommend them to anyone.

Food trucks are the way to go! My siblings reception were so much work with the caterers. Having Nelly Belly Pizza Trucks and a Taco truck was fast, easy, and none of all those extra charges a caterer has. My sister said she now wished she went that route and had more money to put down on a home., plus the food was made right at the reception. PIZZA is a food everyone is familiar with and Nelly's was so superior. That hot Honey they make they should sell!

I love this company. They were first one to send me a quote. Every response after that was fast. They helped us with timing ideas and everything ran smoothly. There was a lot of changes with our reception and they were very accommodating. We appreciated the special detail for our gluten free guest. Everyone is still telling us how much they loved the food (the basil pesto is so yummy) and how nice the staff was to them. I would recommend them for any event.

I hope this review helps other couples make a decision on a food truck to cater their wedding. It is very overwhelming with so many options out there. We wanted something different, not the same old catered buffet. Pizza is also a menu everyone loves. WE decided to go with nelly belly because the truck was so sharp looking. We also wanted to make sure the dinner service did not take up the entire reception time. Nelly belly served all the guests in the hour time frame, AND the food was hot and delicious. This is not the typical delivery pizza, it is so fresh and tasty. The guests are still telling us it is the best pizza they have ever had. That is saying a lot since I have relatives from NY and Chicago. My wife and I are so happy we made the decision to book them. I hope this helps you!

My fiance and I are so glad we went with Nelly Belly for our wedding. We had considered two other pizza companies listed here also, Once visiting all three companies operations at events, we picked Nelly belly. No other pizza company had such a beautiful, impressive truck. The others had ovens on a flat bed truck with tents and tables and toppings everywhere. They were not food trucks at al as listed. They were bringing pizzas inside and they looked cold and it took way longer. Nelly belly had refrigeration, ovens, and heated buffets built in. The staff was so friendly at the events we toured and our reception, and the guests really enjoyed the entire show. It was fun to watch them prepping and firing up the pizzas.. much more exciting then just the typical wedding catered buffet. It was amazing how fast they served everyone. I have had several people from our reception reach out to book already.

I am not much of a review person, but Nelly belly pizza Truck was more than we expected. First of all, the look and set up was very professional. My mother was a bit hesitant about me booking a food truck for our wedding. The guests got a kick out of watching their staff make the pizzas and cook them on the brick oven. The speed that they served everyone while making sure the food was hot was impressive. When all the guests were full of so many compliments (especially saying BEST wedding food ever... they LOVED the amazing pizza) my mom was then so happy as were we. My event planner also said they made everything run so smooth and on time. They did not have to plug in and have extension cords everywhere.

Nelly belly is the Best food truck around. We had a pizza trucks at other weddings but theirs was so much faster service and the food was kept hot on their heated table tops (not put at a buffet, cold, and taking forever to wait for a restock) The pizza just seemed to have better product because the taste was also the best pizza I have literally ever had. Our parents were skeptical about having pizza, but were so happy and impressed after the fact. Their tuck was a very professional set up and watching the show put another fun layer to it. They are our family and friends go to now!

We wanted a casual reception, but to have great food. They delivered awesome food that was better than some of my friends over priced venues. No fuss, no overselling, very honest, very down to earth. The staff that showed up were so nice and went beyond the call of duty, helping us when our friend was late to bartend. You can tell they truly care. Everything they made just somehow tasted better then most caterers. (or any dish I could make) We were so glad to have leftovers.

The staff was super helpful & easy to work with. We had a cocktail party with heavy hors devours & everyone enjoyed the food & desserts very much. Only issue was that there may have been a mix up with a cheese vs seafood wrap, but they took care of it right away.

They were the first ones I met with. I looked around for 4 months, and believe me, I asked every question there was. I still was most impressed with Big Show. They seemed more genuine. They listened to what i was looking for and what my budget was. They made great suggestions I had never thought of. Everyone else seemed either really uneager to respond or trying to pressure upsell. My wedding was even more perfect then expected. The food was so wonderful! That was very important to us along with timely service of all guests. We used the Pizza Truck for the rehearsal and I am unsure what was the biggest hit! Believe me when I say you cannot go wrong.

Big Show did an excellent job for my daughters wedding. We had a budget we wanted to stick and had trouble finding avenue, especially when wanting to have the reception just 5 months away. They found us a venue that had all we wanted, and made menu suggestions to fit our price points. They gave us great suggestions on a few things we could easily do ourselves to save money. The reception turned out so nice! We received many compliments on the food. I really appreciated them helping us out and putting in the extra work to find us what we wanted and to work with us to achieve it.

We used Big Show for our bridal shower, rehearsal, and after wedding brunch. All our receptions turned out wonderful. It was nice not to have to deal with 4 different vendors, and they gave us discounts for using them so many times. They also worked wonders getting what we wanted into our budgets we gave them. I felt like they really listened and bent over backwards to work with us. I highly recommend their services! They have so much to offer and really do it all!

EXCELLENT! They were so creative to fit the things most important to me into my budget. They really listened and made great suggestions I would have never thought of. The sales planner responded very fast; with in that day or the next. Before I booked, I had called several caterers, and some never returned the call or three weeks later. The made suggestions for timing that were better then our DJ or the planner for the venue we booked. Everything an so smooth. We even got to keep the leftovers, which many caterers said they would keep. We enjoyed it the next day with our out of town guests as we opened gifts and went over all the great memories of the evening. Even my most picky relatives were saying how much they enjoyed the food. It was fresh product with great flavor. Definitely not frozen or out of a can. We will go to them for the baby shower and christening for sure!

I highly recommend them! They worked magic with my budget and the results were exactly what I wanted. The entire staff from the planner, to servers, to the bartenders were such a pleasure to work with. They came highly recommended from a family friend. I was exhausted meeting with caterers who would not give any prices and seemed so rude and cold. The Big Show put my mind at ease from the start. Word of mouth is definitely the best sales tool. I would use them again!

The food was so good. We chose the smothered chicken, which was so juicy and tender it fell apart. The guests were saying how much they loved it along with the best ever mashed potatoes. They also had the Nelly Belly pizza truck come for the last hour. That was the hit of the night. Having pizza come fresh out of the wood fired oven (instead of cardboard boxes) was so nice. The apple wood they used smelled so enticing. What a way to end a perfect day!

I used the Nelly Belly Pizza Truck for my rehearsal dinner. It was everyone's favorite thing! Not only was the truck very beautiful with the brick and stainless steel, but you get to see the chefs prepping the pizza. We had them also cater some chicken, pasta, and salads. It was delicious. They came to our home and were in and out with no mess to clean up. I am craving that pizza now!

12/21/2017 • Rachel D

Arranged appointment for food truck tasting on a Saturday . No one showed up. Gave them the benefit of the doubt and called and left message. No one bothered to call me back. Very disappointed would not recommend.

10/23/2017 • Abigail W

I highly recommend Big Show to all couples. They handled my shower, rehearsal dinner and wedding. The food was so delicious. My DJ had recommended them because he said all their events ran so smooth. He was so right!

NIGHTMARE!!!! Should be called A big DISAPPOINTMENT! I can't emphasize enough how upset I am with this company. The offsite wedding coordinator is unprofessional and extremely unreliable. Taking days to respond to emails that were basically more like a text message and never returning phone calls. Even our wedding venue coordinator had a terrible time contacting her to schedule delivery times. We were unable to attend the ONE tasting a year (never informed us there was only one a year) due to TWO immediate family funerals (which the company referred to as "alleged deaths") we were basically out of luck with getting to try anything at all! They didn't even budge to let us pick up any food to try from any other events of theirs and told us we could try something at our final appointment, which never happened. Having our deposit in already we weren't in a position to cancel them. The list of mistakes and frustrations goes on and on including missing food,ignoring dietary restrictions,sloppy food display. We had a different coordinator the night of and she had to keep finding me asking questions, while I'm trying to enjoy my time in my bridal suite I was busy finding extra tables,linens and had to light all the candles and basically help them do their job. Being the bride I'd love to say I was told of all the mistakes the next day but I was so aware of it at the wedding and it was obvious to my guest that it was embarrassing. We were unable to handle our issues with the company amicably which lead us to be forced to take them to small claims court, where we ultimately won. You can get money back but you can't get your wedding night back.

We had a nice party at the Fountain Bleau. My Maid of Honor had trouble getting the staff to bring her some things and that's why I didn't give 5 stars. I personally, as the bride, had a blast and loved the venue.

When we booked the center for our wedding and reception, we were told work was being done to the outside of the venue. This work never happened, nor did they tell us it wasnt happening until we persisted on seeing the finished product. We were offered dead flowers and a torn up aisle instead. The food was fantastic, but my cake was only right on one layer, wrong icing overall, my appetizers were packed up before the bridal party could try them, the woman in charge is impossible to get on the phone, and didn't even bother coming to our rehearsal. My husband ended up cutting the grass and pulling weeds, as well as driving around looking for flowers to go down the aisle for our wedding. The sign on the door didn't even spell my name right. For the food and bringing in your own alcohol it's a great place. But I never would let a friend get married there, and I would suggest heavy duty follow up with the owners if you want your details correct.

7/09/2013 • Lacey S

Overall, the fountain bleau is fair in pricing and looks, but the lady is very difficult to get a hold of. Since our weddingwe have been trying to deal with a few comlaints, such as the staff giving our dj a hard time because he wanted the lights dimmed for our introduction and for the dancing and they refused, our gluten free meal never was served and it took 30-45 minutes after the food was being served for our 4 kids meals and a veggie meal to be served. (and they were at the 1 tables to be served. The food was good, but we also didnt like that the bartenders had a tip jar on the bar.

I have never had such wonderful wedding food -- no cold pasta and dry chicken here! Amazing price as well, did not think we could afford such a wonderful wedding, but Melissa and her team made it all possible!

We had both our wedding and reception here. We choose the Fountain Bleau for several reasons. We liked the size of the burgundy room for our approx. 125 guests. The room was beautiful with really nice chandeliers. We were able to hold the ceremony with our guests seated at their tables and everyone could still see what was going on. Fountain Bleau also allows you to bring in your own alcohol. This is important to us since the majority of our guests wouldn't be drinking and we didn't want to be charged as such. The food was excellent and we had many compliments from our guests. We also had Fountain Bleau make our wedding cake. We were blown away. The cake was amazing! Melissa was pretty easy to work with and was flexible with how she communicated with us. Overall, we would certainly suggest every bride check out the Fountain Bleau!

Good value

The food was excellent (best roast beef ever)! Decor was festive and perfect for a New Year's Eve wedding. The flaming desert was a hit. The bathrooms were not ADA-accessible and were too small to accommodate a large number of guests.

excellent food! beautiful room and tracy was amazing. made a beautiful cake and the prices are awesome.

Fountain Bleau is absolutely wonderful! They are great to work with- answer phone calls and emails when they are not working. The place is beautiful and a great value for your money. I had so many compliments on how wonderful this place was. Very friendly staff. I highly recommended them! AND you can bring your own alcohol which saves you a TON of money.

The food was phenomenal and for a great price! I had about 200 guests and the room was a perfect size. They have beautiful decor as well.;I rented a margarita machine from them and it was not up and running until 2 hours into my reception (I still have yet to get money back). In addition they made me a fake cake without my permission (they made sheet cakes in the back--the cake was stil good and no one could tell) and they promised to have a computer for me to run a slideshow with that wasn't there. Overall it was small potatoes in comparison with the rest of the night. It still made me unhappy though.
