. They rolled with everything and ended up putting on a stunning event. I was so thrilled with the food, the service and the entire experience. An absolute highlight of our day!

was EXCEPTIONAL to say the least. Our guests raved about the food and service. Linda and Kim are clearly born to create life-changing events. We are eternally grateful!

most phenomenal wedding day. We were on a budget and I would have LOVED to have been able to afford a wedding planner (and general contractor, and interior designer, and landscaper, and the like!), but my husband and I did everything ourselves. My wedding day was absolutely perfect and would not have been possible without the help of Kim, Francesco, Linda, and the staff of Calla Catering. Linda did an outstanding job with helping to plan my special day (cocktail hour, dinner, dessert, table linens, plates, utensils, tables, chairs, and the list goes on) and stay within my budget. Kim helped immensely with regards to coordination and keeping us on a timeline the day of. The days leading up to my perfect day and the hours prior to the ceremony were emotional and stressful - I very much appreciated Kim meeting me with my first beverage immediately after the ceremony and giving us a plate of appetizers before pictures. And the food! I had so many people tell me that we had the best wedding food they’d ever had. Numerous guests all said the same thing. Francesco set up his whole operation behind our house - the food and timing was impeccable. And the service! All of the waitstaff and bartenders were outstanding. Friends and family were talking about our wedding and reception for weeks afterwards. I would highly recommend Calla Catering to anyone.

ofessionals in the field. The staff on our wedding day were very nice and attentive. They pivoted quickly when we decided to do a receiving line last minute while walking back to the house - bringing apps and drinks to our guests as they waited in line. We would recommend you hire Calla, you won't regret it!!

d actually relax and enjoy the day. Everything went smoothly, everything was on time, and as far as I'm concerned, it was perfect. Their communication leading up to the wedding made me confident the big day would go as planned. I can't recommend Calla highly enough!

!), and was so helpful with all the logistics, between furniture rentals, vendor coordination, and day of coordination. Not to mention, Francesco’s food is absolutely delicious! Many of our guests told us that their dinners and apps were the best that they had ever had at a wedding. We also appreciated the little touches so much- Calla sent us home with extra desserts at the end of the night, and brought us our own little plate of apps and cocktails during our photos, so we could have a chance to eat them. We truly cannot recommend them enough!

d needs. Our guests raved about the food at our wedding, and I am eternally grateful to them for making our day go off without a hitch!

reciated that the Calla team was comfortable dealing with complex allergies and eating restrictions. They truly went above and beyond to ensure that all of us had a good experience. I cannot recommend them strongly enough!

nomenal, everyone at the wedding kept telling us it was the the best food they’ve had at a wedding. Kim and Linda were so flexible during the entire planning process and made our day run smoothly. We would recommend them (and their grilled cheese) to anyone!

s meant changing certain ingredients to ensure each dish was delicious and something everyone could eat. My guests RAVED about the food and are still talking about it months later. We paid extra to have the day of coordinator and it was worth every penny! Linda was the epitome of keeping a cool head and knew just what to do. I felt completely comfortable in her hands. We recommend Calla Catering to anyone we know. They have gone above and beyond to make our day so special!

tal service for linens and everything else we needed. On the day of the wedding the event staff was professional and courteous and the food was exception from the passed hors d'oeuvres to the dessert. We fully recommend Calla for their exceptional wedding catering services.

. It was no question that we had to have Calla Catering for this reason! We love that they focus on fresh & seasonal, & our menu absolutely reflected that! Guests could not stop raving about the entire menu the whole night! Before our Ceremony, Calla Catering made an incredible hot mulled apple cider (our guests loved it since it was a bit chilly, & we had an outdoor ceremony!). Cocktail Hour, we had a plentiful charcuterie display & hand passed appetizers: Buffalo Chicken Wontons (a MUST HAVE!), Seared Beef Tenderloin Crostini, Three Cheese & Walnut Stuffed Mushrooms (incredible!!!), Arancini, & Sweet & Sour Fried Cauliflower (crowd favorite!). When guests came in for dinner, we started with bread & the Roasted Butternut Squash Salad. It was almost too pretty to eat & it tasted amazing, too! We offered our guests Slow Braised Short Ribs (it was SO delicious & definitely a comfort food!), Roasted Salmon with a Maple Apple Cider Glaze (yum!), & Vegan Stuffed Peppers, all served with mashed potatoes & a root vegetable medley. I swear, every single plate was cleared! We had so many guests complimenting the food & they all mentioned how impressed they were that the food came out HOT on the plate! With everything that was going on that day - pictures, visiting with family and friends, soaking in the day - I loved that the team made sure we ate. We had a platter of our appetizers brought to us during formal photos & during dinner, the team constantly checked in on us to make sure we were enjoying ourselves & even boxed up the rest of my meal for me to enjoy when I got back to my hotel! They also made sure to box up some of our desserts for us, too! Outside of the food, Calla Catering played a huge part in our day! They helped us coordinate our rental items, came to a site visit at our venue since they had never been there before (our venue had a lot of rules & documents they required from the caterer in order to work there - NO PROBLEM, Calla helped guide us & made sure everything was submitted!). They arrived the day of, set up everything exactly how I had envisioned it, & they really made sure that I didn’t have to worry about a thing! Even my vendors raved about the dinner they enjoyed from Calla Catering! They all mentioned how much they loved working with the team! During the night, I kept looking around seeing how full guests waters were, how clean the tables looked, how the staff just never stopped moving! I really felt like my goal was accomplished: to make our friends and family feel TREATED! At the end of the night, they stayed at the venue after my husband & I left and cleaned up everything! After being up since 7am to get hair & make up done, it was such a relief to know that they were tying up all of the loose ends & making sure that everything at the venue was squared away! That was such a huge help & relief off of my shoulders! Calla Catering made a HUGE impact on our wedding! We are so, so glad we had them be a part of our day! I know we will never forget how special it was because of their hard work & delicious food. If you want to have your wedding be a stand-out event, there is no contest - Calla Catering has to be there!

rs I spoke to that called when she said she would and returned emails in timely manner. Our tasting was a dream and they were so flexible with our vision, even getting a waffle maker so we could have waffles! As the day got closer, Linda was there to answer my last-minute bridal questions and provide us with everything we needed. Our wedding was so perfect and I know a lot of that is due to the hard work of Linda, the Calla catering staff, and the work of their bar division, Cocktails. We also have been getting so many compliments on the food, from the main dishes down to the salad dressing! 10/10 would recommend. Thank you so much!

likely that our wedding would be able to occur in May Calla worked with us to ensure that we secured a new date and that every part of the procedure of changing the date vs cancelling was laid out to us. Calla was extremely transparent throughout the process and nothing but helpful. Unfortunately, our original venue was not as accommodating, and we reached a stand still in negotiating a rate to move our date to 2021. Calla was once again available to us and gave us several other venues that they work with regularly to look into as at this point my husband and I had decided it was most important to ensure that we had Calla as part of our wedding day. We wound up working with another venue they recommended, and we had a beautiful day. Calla always had prompt follow-up with me for any questions I had and was very flexible with all the changes the pandemic brought even though I am sure it was a stressful for time for them as well as us. They seamlessly changed our date not once, but twice without additional charges and even accommodated us needing to change the number of guests from over 100 to 65. In terms of the food, everyone was giving me compliments throughout the night and in the weeks following our wedding. We decided on a taco bar which was buffet style. The buffet ran smoothly which was a huge concern for me, but Calla brought their expertise and kept things moving along. We chose to have dessert through them as well and did ice cream cookie sandwiches which were also a hit with everyone! They did a wonderful job cleaning up everything as I went back to pick-up decorations the next day and everything was neatly stacked and ready to go. I truly cannot put into words how grateful I am to have found such a wonderful company to work with and would not hesitate to recommend them to all my family and friends as well as use them again in the future for other occasions. Special shout out to Linda who was always so pleasant and my primary contact through most of the coordinating stage.

mpany to help with set up and take down, food, bar, and all the things you forget you need that most venues have. Well they did it all and I mean EVERYTHING! When we came across them we set up a tasting, we were blown away and booked them the next day. The food was outstanding everything was fresh and perfect for a summer wedding. We chose passed appetizers, the tropical shrimp was amazing, and a buffet dinner our guest loved the food and still are taking about it. Linda was truly my life saver she helped me with so much and answered my many, many emails graciously. She was by our side the whole wedding day making sure we got to eat everything and always had a drink in our hands and or course to keep the day flowing smoothly. The whole process with Calla Catering was smooth, professional and affordable book your tasting as soon as you can and get them on the books for your event!

dors working well together. We could not have been happier with Calla!

ere amazing. We would highly recommend them for a wedding or any event.

uld organize everything from table and chair rentals, to the bar, and even event staffing. This also made it easy for us to include gratuity and just ultimately limit our headaches for the day! Also- the Chicken Picatta is a MUST have! With any small business, there are always areas of growth that are helpful to note. Calla is a small company with staffing being both behind the scenes and day of coordination. This means that in their peak busy time, communication was a bit more challenging. At times I did wish for a bit more communication and information about options. For example, for in house linens I was not given any images to select from but rather asked "what color do you want?" As any couple planning a wedding knows, pink can mean different shades all together. Eventually, I was able to get a mock photo of the table set up and all was well. Don't be afraid to ask early on in the process to see all of your options! Overall, we had a great day and a pretty smooth planning process! If you are an engaged couple that is organized, likes to be creative with planning, and really makes the wedding your own, Calla is a great caterer for you! Calla is also great with creative venues that will bring a wedding to life!

no stress as it relates to the set-up and breakdown of our event. All of the behind the scenes went unnoticed and the quality of their work was exceptional. We highly recommend this catering company and are extremely thankful that we secured them for our special day!

ding day! The Taco bar was such a hit. I can't wait to use them again for our next event.

ough every COVID guideline change and postponing our wedding. After our wedding everyone kept asking us who our caterer was because the food was SO fantastic and creative. They made the plates and signs look so pretty that all of our friends instagrammed it! They worked with our guests complicated food allergies and our likes and dislikes and came up with the most delicious, beautiful, and unique plates. Down to the extravagant tasting they held in our wedding theme for our whole family, they didn't miss any tiny little detail throughout the whole experience. I could not recommend them highly enough.

ust a catering company, they are a team of superstars who went above and beyond to make sure every aspect of our big day was perfect. With that said, the food was unbelievable! From the passed hors d’oeuvres to the dinner buffet to the dessert, we heard endless compliments from our guests. The waitstaff and bartending group were extremely professional. We had such an amazing day, and we cannot thank Calla enough for making our dream wedding a reality. Cassidy & Patrick 6.12.2021

icious & Blair made sure we got our plates! Over the top amazing service! She made my day smooth & perfect!

helped keep us on schedule the day of. The food was absolutely delicious, from the appetizers to the main courses. The braised short rib sliders were a huge hit, and guests were saying the slow braised chicken was some of the best chicken they've ever had! 10/10 would recommend Calla to anyone!
