Chopin Mon Ami catered my daughter’s wedding March 4th. The menu was beef with a Marsala
Reduction, Shrimp with a sauce, grilled veggies, garlic mashed potatoes, Mac and cheese, rolls. The food was phenomenal! Everyone told me how much they enjoyed their meal. The service was impeccable. Todd and his staff were courteous, friendly and professional. The bartenders were able to keep up with the demand so our guests weren’t waiting for drinks. At the end of the evening, left overs ere packed up and given to us in nice plastic ware.
Todd provided all China, chargers, flatware, glassware and linens. My daughter changed her mind on a few things at the last minute and Todd and his staff were able to make the changes without any problem.
It was so important to us to provide a good meal for our guests and Todd did not disappoint. The whole evening was magical. The food and bar were a big part of that. I recommend them whole heartedly!
We really enjoyed working with Judy and Todd at CMA! We met with them very early on in our wedding planning and liked their establishment and presence in the community. They were familiar with our other vendors and offered great advice and tips! We liked their menu selection and were able to make tweaks to it along the way to meet our preferences. There were some occasions of miscommunication and instances of subpar bookkeeping but at the end we loved their food, our guests loved their food and we got so many compliments! Their staff were present and on the ball on the big day and everything went smoothly! We would certainly recommend them to future couples!
Chopin Mon Ami catered our daughter’s wedding and many of our guests complimented us on the delicious food. In context, many of them had attended the professionally catered rehearsal dinner the evening before but said they enjoyed Chopin Mon Ami’s surf and turf entrée even more. They also were very attentive to the small children who attended the reception. We were so pleased to offer our guests a fitting dinner on our most happy day!
Chopin Mon Ami was such an amazing caterer! Chelsea was so helpful and was always quick to answer any questions I had. Their food was delicious and you could tell it was made with love! Our guests definitely remembered how good the food was too! I can't recommend them enough!
Chopin Mon Ami was the absolute best decision we made for our wedding! Todd, Judy, and team are so easy to work with and helpful - they go far beyond catering and really guided us through the whole wedding planning process and had an answer for everything. Being able to make our wedding guests feel welcomed with great food and drink was at the top of our list and Todd and team absolutely delivered. The food was amazing and the service top-notch - we are still getting compliments months later!
Above all, this is a team made up of truly good people who we looked forward to working with. I cannot recommend CMA enough!
Rehearsal dinner was wonderful
Out of all the proposals we reviewed Chopin Mon Ami offered the best customer service, value, and ease of booking. Our venue required us to bring our vendors so it was important for me to have as few vendors as I could and to have very reliable vendors. Chelsea was absolutely great from the moment we contacted Chopin Mon Ami. Planning our catering with her went smoothly, she was always available, and answered all my questions. We also rented linens, glassware, and chargers with them. They provided catering and bar services which helped us to have one contact for food and beverage.
The food was delicious! We went with the barbecue package as it’s something my husband and I enjoy. We wanted to make sure our wedding meal was something flavorful and that our guests would like; it did not disappoint! The food was not only delicious but abundant. The presentation was great and proper for a wedding. Our guests loved the food and even went for seconds.
Our bartender was friendly and super efficient and the bar ran smoothly.
Chopin Mon Ami was great! Thank you to Chelsea, Kevin, and all the Chopin Mon Ami team.
Todd and crew were absolutely amazing! The prime rib and Shrimp Orleans were spectacular and the guests had an amazing evening. They made us feel like royalty and the food was a otherworldly. They boxed all of the leftovers and alcohol and we partied for our days. Everybody raved about the service and I would concur.
Everyone at CMA was so wonderful to work with and the food was absolutely delicious! We had a huge delay due to a highway shut down , lost our minister, our ceremony chairs and few guests! CMA worked with us to navigate the delays and made sure we still had hot and fabulous food! The steak and grilled veggies were amazing! Highly recommend ! Thank you to Chelsea for all her help and patience through the planning process too!
Chopin Mon Ami was wonderful! They made sure we got exactly what we wanted and that it would fit into our budget! We used them for both our rehearsal dinner and our wedding reception and the food got rave reviews! The staff was fantastic and very attentive to all of the guests. Judy helped both nights and helped immensely with making sure everything ran smoothly!
We are beyond pleased with the excellent service and delicious food that Todd and his team at Chopin Mon Ami provided at our wedding. Todd took the time to talk us through menu options and figure out what suited our taste the best. I had no doubts in choosing Chopin Mon Ami and they really went above and beyond! We had awesome fajitas with all the sides and an assortment of desserts. We were extremely impressed with the attentiveness their staff had for us, making sure we (the bride and groom) always had food, water, and drinks of our choice. Their bartenders were excellent too! Todd's team set up our venue beautifully before hand with the linens, colors, glassware etc that we picked out at a consultation. Again, can't emphasize enough how awesome their team was and delicious the food tasted. Really, really pleased with Chopin Mon Ami catering our wedding down in Galveston.
We had a great experience working with Todd and the rest of his staff. We were a COVID wedding and not only did they help us in anyway they could throughout the process, they provided professional and safe services the day of. Instead of using one of their already provided packages, we created our own menu. They were so easy to work with and made any changes to the food we requested. They made this part of the process of a breeze.
Our wedding venue recommended Todd for catering. We ended up getting to taste some of his menu items at a wedding vendor show and we were sold. The food was so amazing and creative. When you talk to Todd, you can feel his passion for what he does. Our guests keep telling us how fantastic the food was at our reception. He even worked with us to cater late night Chicago dogs which everyone loved! He will make you feel so secure and make your life easier while you’re planning your wedding. Do yourself a favor and hire Todd and you’ll be like us eating leftovers two days after the wedding knowing you made the right call.
I cannot say enough good things about CMA! Having really excellent food was one of the most important parts of the wedding and Todd and Judy really came through! Not only did they provide incredible food and service but they also helped out with hand sanitizer. Our whole family loved working with them and the guests were raving about their amazing food!
Wow what an experience! It's rare to find a vendor that will do everything right but Chopin Mon Ami Catering is that vendor. We met with them initially pre-Covid and were on track to have my daughter's wedding in April. Well, that fell thru and CMAC was more than accommodating in helping us with our reschedule. Lot's of selection in linens and food! They will even do special requests because we had a couple of vegetarians in our party. I really enjoyed working with Todd and his mom. They are so gracious and give very good advice. They were familiar with the venue we were having the reception and so understood what was best to do when. They don't try to up sell you only do what is right for your celebration. I like the attention to detail, for example, they set a portion of the food aside after the party for the bride and groom to have something to nosh on later. Everyone, raved about the quality of the food and the taste. I would use them again in a heartbeat and hope that I can in the future. Did you guess that I love working with them? I did!
Todd at Chopin Mon Ami was excellent to work with from the beginning. He was very helpful and gave suggestions for vendor recommendations as well. His staff did a fantastic job during the wedding and checked in with us often to make sure we had everything we needed. The food was offered at a great price and I heard no complaints about the food from the guests, even the vegetarians. They provided a great service overall. I also decided to rent the linens from Todd and that worked out well.
I absolutely LOVED these guys!! Todd was so great, he not only catered our wedding, but he and his team flipped our ceremony room into our reception. He oversaw every single detail to give me the wedding of my dreams! Their food was so delicious, from their tasting to wedding night and I actually looked forward to eating it from the moment I first tasted it! Our wedding would not of happened, or been as magical as it was without Chopin Mon Ami!! Thank you so much Todd!
Todd worked closely with us to make sure we were completely happy with our menu, wine and everything. I would recommend him and his company to anyone looking for catering for their wedding or event. Very pleased!
Chopin Mon Ami did an amazing job catering The Bryan Museum’s 4th annual Gala earlier this month! Todd & Judy have been catering for the museum for 4.5 years now and actually catered our Grand Opening in 2015.
They have done countless weddings here and every single bride has walked away Happy!!
The food for our Gala was superb & the staff impeccable. We received numerous compliments on the hors d’ oeuvres as well for both parties that weekend.
I’ve come to point where I don’t have to worry about Todd’s execution of a catered event. He always brings his A game and delivers top notch service!
Much gratitude,
Peter Ochoa
Director of Events
Chopin Mon Ami is a NO BRAINER for anyone having a Galveston wedding! From day one Todd was amazing to work with - not only is he truly a pro at weddings, but he has a great personality that clicked with my husband and I right away. And he's not kidding when he says CMA is full-service; if you have an idea for apps/signature drinks/dessert table/etc, his team will make it happen for you. Like other reviewers have said, many of our guests said this was the best wedding food they ever had! Plus, Todd's staff the night of was awesome - they made sure my husband and I had food and drinks whenever we needed and checked in with us multiple times throughout the night. Thanks for making our wedding so special!
Chopin Mon Ami was amazing!! We got so many compliments on the food. Todd was there the whole time making sure things ran smoothly and his staff provided excellent service. I would hire them again in a heartbeat
Chopin Mon Ami catering went above and beyond for my wedding. Todd created special off-the-menu items for my Jamaican/Caribbean themed cocktail hour, which the guests loved! The food was declicious and the staff was very attentive to my guests the entire night. Very professional! I highly recommend Chopin Mon Ami!
Todd and his team are simply amazing. They are a well oiled machine who know the ins and out of every venue in Galveston. The food was great, the bussing was quick and plates and glasses were never left on the tables, and they have a sense of urgency and timeliness that kept everything perfectly on schedule which was amazing. Our venue was behind on their timeline and Chopin Mon Ami’s team hauled it and made things happen right before my eyes QUICKLY and immediately took our stress away. On top of it, there are many options for food choices in many price ranges so there’s something for everyone. You need them at your wedding! It will help make the day perfect!! Thanks again!
Chopin Mon Ami was recommended to us by a family member and we couldn't have been happier with that recommendation. Todd and his team were amazing from the beginning to the end. By far the best food we had and our guest couldn't say enough about how much they loved it and how wonderful the whole staff was. If you are looking for award winning service, support and all around customer service look no further!
Todd and the rest of Chopin Mon Ami staff did an amazing job before, during and after the wedding. Very helpful and professional. They had plenty of food for us and it was delicious. We had chicken and meat, both were really good and the guests didn't have to choose. They made us feel good from the start (organizing a wedding can be so confusing). Hire them, you won't regret it
I can not say enough great things about Todd and his staff. From the very beginning stages of planning down to every last detail the day of, he covered EVERYTHING with complete class and professionalism. He was so easy-going and put my daughter (the bride) and I at ease. We were never stressed about anything! He and his staff have their operation down like clockwork. And the food!!! The food from Chopin Mon Ami is 100% exceptional! Couldn't have asked for better. A perfect wedding thanks to Todd and his staff!
Todd and his mom we're the perfect ones to cater my husband and I's wedding. I have never heard so many people compliment wedding food! I heard several people go as far as to say it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding. They made the day so easy by being my one stop shop for food, a dessert (we did cobbler), bar & margarita machine, dinner, and linens! Todd also, being a local to the island and many years spent catering weddings/other events, has a huge list of other vendors you may need - and honest recommendations for who is good and who isn't. They both made a personal appearance at my wedding and showed that they really do care about each of there customers. I also love that booking with them supports a local, island owned business.
You will not be disappointed with Chopin Mon Ami!
We hired Todd and Chopin Mon Ami after meeting with several caterers. He told us up front that he was a "straight shooter" and would deliver the highest quality. He definitely did deliver on his promise. The food, service, and linens were excellent. The entire team was very profession. Todd was personally at the event to oversee everything. He offers full service catering for a reasonable cost. The guests at our wedding raved about the food. The team was on-time, set up was flawless, and the food was excellent. We could not have asked for more from Todd and his team.
Meet with Todd first and follow his lead! He made the whole thing stress free and the food was spectacular! He paid absolute attention to what WE wanted and delivered with perfection!
Chopin Mon Ami went above and beyond for our wedding reception, and everything tasted fantastic! They were extremely flexible in the menu planning stage, and literally “catered” to the menu we had in mind. Everything ran so smoothly the night of the event, from set up to tear down. The servers and bartender were very kind and professional, and really made us feel like we could relax throughout the night. Would absolutely recommend them for your special event, you won’t be disappointed!
We are absolutely thrilled at our entire experience with Chopin Mon Ami! They were so easy to work with and knew exactly how to advise us every step of the way as we planned the reception. We didn't have to worry about a thing, and everything turned out wonderful. The food was delicious and the full staff was extremely professional and accommodating. I can't say enough great things about Chopin Mon Ami, and I would recommend them to everyone!
I used Chopin Mon Ami as the caterer at my wedding. They provided hors-d'oeuvres, the main course, as well as cookies and brownies. Todd and his team have genuinely masted their craft. I never had to worry once about the food for my wedding because they are professionals and took care of everything. First of all the food at my wedding was amazing, so fresh, actually hot, and delicious. The service was on point. They took care of every one of my guests without being invasive. They even remembered to package up extra food for my new husband and I to eat later. If you want a caterer you can trust, who has experience, delivers spectacular food and can handle any situation, choose Chopin Mon Ami. They can do this in their sleep!
Todd and his team did a great job at our wedding. The service was attentive and ensured everything was picked up promptly. Our guests raved about the egg rolls served in shot glasses with sweet and sour sauce in the bottom as well as the bistro fillet. The bottle service at the table went smoothly and they went above and beyond retrieving some additional beverages for our elderly guests.
They also did a great job with our special requests like having some of the appetizers for us in a side room after the ceremony so we could grab a bite before pictures and icing down and serving our table a special bottle of champagne.
His cream colored plates with gold rims and gold charger plates were perfect for our color scheme and no extra charge. We also liked that he provided all the glasses and bartender but we were able to supply all of the beverages and pick out exactly what we wanted without an up charge.
He also handled our linen rentals and helped us find someone for security at our event.
Todd is great! The food & service were wonderful.
Todd and his team did a great job! They were professional, on time, helpful from the very beginning. Todd is the Master of Wedding in Galveston and he is knowledgeable is all aspects.
Todd, Judy and the amazing team at Chopin Mon Ami catered our daughter's wedding. Our entire experience from beginning to end was great!! The food was wonderful and I heard this numerous times throughout the evening. The wedding and reception were in the same room so a room flip to reception mode was flawless and well executed!! Thank you to all at Chopin Mon Ami for all the assistance and guidance throughout!
Chopin Mon Ami provided exceptional service for our June wedding. Even at peak wedding season, Todd and his staff were present and attentive. Todd went ‘above and beyond’ the call of duty by meeting (independently) with our providers to coordinate the event, even helping to coordinate he set up of tables in our reception hall. Nothing was neglected.
The food too was very good. With top-notch service.
Chopin Mon Ami is very much a local family business, so they know everyone on the Island. They provided us with excellent recommendations for baker, DJ, chair rentals, and flowers. I strongly recommend them.
Top notch catering service provided at my wedding from Chopin Mon Ami Catering. Everything went according to planned and the food was DELICIOUS. The staff were all so friendly, courteous and professional. I will definitely recommend to all of my friends and family.
Todd worked wonders! The food was delicious and he was so helpful with seating and organizing the wedding! We got so many components on how delicious and great the service was at our wedding! He runs Galveston and is worth using for catering!
SO accommodating, delicious food!
Todd and his staff are amazing! We planned with him for almost 2 years and he was incredible to work with. His food is the best but his personality is even better! He will blow you away with what he can come up with for any budget! I highly recommend this amazing catering company!
AMAZING!! I cannot say enough fantastic things about Todd and his team... he is HANDS DOWN the reason our wedding was a success. He was determined to make our night wonderful and unforgettable and that's exactly what he did. The food was outstanding and the service was even better! His team was with us every step of the way - planning, offering ideas, and following through with every request. Do not hesitate to hire Chopin Mon Ami - best thing we did!!
We loved working with Todd and Judy at Chopin Mon Ami, they went above and beyond our expectations throughout the entire process! They were great to work with; they are extremely experienced, have great personalities, make awesome food and worked so well with all of our other vendors & venue! Todd was organized and made sure we knew what our options were with choosing the food; he helped us create a fabulous menu within our budget that our guests enjoyed (evidenced by CLEAN plates)! The tasting session of our selection was a fun and a great foretaste of what was to come on our wedding day. His serving staff was excellent the day of the wedding as they were available when you needed them but were inconspicuous during the event itself while the dancing and toasts were going on. Todd's professionalism showed through as he came and asked us how everything was and wished us a happy marriage during the night. We highly recommend Chopin Mon Ami for your event as they will make sure all is done well and that your food is superb!
Chopin Mon Ami Catering is, in my opinion, a five-star catering service who welcomes the gay community with open arms. My husband I and I were married on September 16th 2017. We searched diligently for a catering service on the island who would provide the quality of service we were looking for at a reasonable price, and Chopin Mon Ami surpassed all our expectations with flying colors. They are professional, the food is fantastic, they will work with you on all aspects of your catering needs, and they are gay-friendly. We would recommend Chopin Mon Ami to any couple, gay or otherwise, looking to have the wedding of their dreams come true.
We loved Chopin Mon Ami. We met Todd when we were touring a venue and he was there setting up for another wedding. We immediately felt at ease with him and were sure that he knew what he was doing.
The food at our wedding was absolutely delicious and Todd's team were so attentive and lovely. He also provided our linens and did set-up and clean-up; it was so nice to have only one vendor to deal with for all of those activities. Its been weeks since our wedding and we're still getting compliments on the food!
Thank you Todd and Chopin Mon Ami!
Can I give Chopin Mon Ami 10 stars? They're that wonderful! Todd is hands down THE BEST caterer in Galveston! He was there to literally cater to our every need and saw us through every step. Our night went perfectly---how many brides can say that? I had full confidence in Todd's abilities both as a caterer and an event planned. The food was to die for and EXACTLY what I wanted. He even made sure my husband and I ate at our reception. He helped us with the flow of the evening. I was actually able to really enjoy the evening where most brides are frantic. If you pick a caterer in Galveston, you MUST get Chopin Mon Ami!!!
Disclaimer: I am leaving this review as a business owner (Plush Events & Design). We recently had the pleasure of working with Todd on a wedding for our client. Besides his food being delicious and exactly what the Bride and Groom wanted, Todd and his staff were amazing! Friendly, accommodating, always on top of things, and working continuously. As a vendor POV, we would absolutely love to work with Todd again and will recommend him to our future clients.
Not enough words to describe how pleased with the services provided by Todd and Judy. From the food (which was fantastic and received many compliments) right down to the vendors they suggested everything was impeccable. As the mother of the bride, I was worried how everything would come together without a wedding planner, but no need to worry about it with these two professionals. They are not only professional, but also very personable. I would highly recommend Chopin Mon Ami for your catering needs! They made everything come together beautifully!!
Todd and his staff were the best ever! The food was delicious and beautifully served. Everything was set up and arranged on time for the reception! Todd remained on the job throughout the entire party making sure the food was replenished and well-served! Couldn't have asked for more! His positive attitude and hard work were very much appreciated. Will definitely use Chopin Mon Ami again.
FANTASTIC!! Todd and his team delivered superp service from start to finish. My now husband and I had a short engagement (less than 4 months) so we had a lot to accomplish in a small amount of time. We also had another challenge as we were planning the wedding from afar being that we live in Nashville, TN. Todd was so accommodating, making himself available to meet with us when we were in Galveston and also quick to respond to email and phone calls. He helped us develop a menu that was tailored to our requests and our guests were blown away just as much as we were. The meat was cooked to perfection, the vegetables were full of flavor and the staff went above and beyond. When the time came for dinner to be served, we didn't worry for one moment. We had full confidence in Todd and his staff and they took care of us and our guests with the upmost attention to detail. I can't tell you how many guests commented to my husband and I about how much they loved the food. It is amazing to see a local Galveston caterer knock it out of the park with true professionalism and the highest of quality and service that rivals any of the big city vendors. We highly recommend Chopin Mon Ami for any of your catering needs!
Chopin Mon Ami Catering was easy to work with. Variety of menus to chose from. Every aspect of the reception went beautifully. Polite and courteous staff. Everything from set up to serving cocktail hour with appetizers, dinner and cake cutting was exceptional. We can not thank Chopin Mon Ami Catering and their team enough. Wonderful wedding reception.
Todd and his team took such good care of us! They really do go above and beyond to make sure that everything runs smoothly. All my guests were so impressed with the delicious food and professional service. I highly recommend them!
This team rocks! Everything was amazing and came together perfectly to make our Pirate themed wedding even more amazing!
Todd and Judy were outstanding! There are reasonable, and their catering is invredible! I am beyond pleased with their performance, and I m so glad they catered our wedding!!
We absolutely loved Chopin Mon Ami! The food was delicious, and Todd was wonderful to work with. He made the wedding day much less stressful and he ran everything, we didn't even need a coordinator. They were very easy to work with and I would definitely recommend them to anyone getting married in the Galveston area.
I can not express how wonderful Todd and his team are! Our wedding was at the Garten Verein in Galveston. They new the layout of the place. I didn't have to plan out a thing. It took so much stress off of me, It was wonderful
The food! It was so delicious! My mother, mother-in-law, family, friends everyone kept saying how good the food was. Many went back for seconds. Todd and his team were a Godsend to my wedding. The service was exceptional, his team was so kind. I discovered Chopin Mon Ami because of the Knot. I just want to say if you are thinking of choosing Chopin Mon Ami to cater your wedding, you won't regret it! I would choose them again if I had to do it all over again.
Todd, Thank you and your team for being so amazing.
THANK YOU to CMA for being such a joy to work with! We first heard about CMA when we booked our venue at Trolley Station in Galveston, and after we received the quote we knew that we were going to get a great value for our money.
First of all, if you have chosen to get married at Trolley Station, CMA knows this venue in and out (doesn't hurt that they are venue managers as well!).
Secondly, Todd is great to work with. He's a straight shooter and really knows his stuff. He's fun to be around too! His primary goal is to make the bride and groom happy, and he definitely accomplished that with the excellent service and food they provided for our wedding.
Thirdly, we found them to be very affordable. CMA offers a wide variety of menus that can fit any budget... and the food is HIGH quality.
I could go on and on... If you are getting married in Galveston, or in need of catering services, look NO further. Give them a call and prepare to be wowed!
If you are looking for a caterer in the Galveston area, Todd with Chopin Mon Ami is your guy! Choosing Chopin Mon Ami was one of the best decisions we made for our big day. From first contact, Todd put us at ease with his experience and laid back attitude.
In fact, after having trouble setting up a rehearsal dinner at local restaurants, we had Chopin Mon Ami cater not only our wedding, but also our rehearsal dinner. The food we had at both was five star quality. People are still talking about how great the food was! (You have to try the Cajun stuffed chicken!)
The truth is that Todd did a lot more than cater our wedding. He has catered every venue in Galveston and he knows what works and what doesn't. He even helped me design the table layout for the venue, and even gave me advice on good DJs in the area. His helpfulness and professionalism carried through to the rest of his staff as well. I couldn't be happier we chose him and Chopin Mon Ami for our rehearsal dinner and our wedding.
Worth every penny! The food was delicious, especially the chicken Marsala and spinach salad. Todd made sure we ate and attention to detail was fantastic. I cannot say enough about how excellent the service was! Don't hesitate to book them Todd and Judy were amazingly accommodating.
Todd and his company did a FANTASTIC job catering our wedding. During our initial meeting, he assured us that he would be able to provide us with detailed and professional service, delicious food and drinks, and that we would be happy with our experience using his servics - and he flat out delivered. Chopin Mon Ami Catering catered our wedding at the Garten Verein for approximately 250 people. We asked Todd to have his chef prepare some Cajun food from his normal menu, as well as a number of customized dishes from a small international cuisine (Parsi food). Todd made himself and his staff available to us in order to make sure that the recipes and the taste of the food was correct, not only during our scheduled tastings, but during our big day as well. Despite having approximately 250 people to satisfy, Todd and his staff were able to deliver vibrant and authentic flavors, crisp and fresh foods, and a wonderfully hard-working and courteous staff. He and his staff were able to bring the food in on time, dilligently work to make sure that everything stayed on scheduled, and that everyone was completely satisfied throughout the night. I would strongly recommend Chopin Mon Ami Catering to anyone who is looking to cater ANY event - big or small. We were very stressed throughout the process of planning a wedding, and Todd made sure that the food and drinks were things that were going to be taken care of, and that they were going to be done very well. To everyone considering a caterer, I say, "In Todd we trust!" ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!
Todd and his team were the absolute best. The food was amazing and they calmed my pre-wedding jitters with their accommodating and professional attitudes. They really saved the day for me when I arrived late due to vehicle troubles by letting me through the back so I didn't have to walk in front of my guests. Thank you all for going above and beyond your jobs to make our wedding wonderful.
Todd and Judy were absolutely wonderful! He took care of us from the first day we met him AND even after the wedding. Chopin Mon Ami is a full service catering company that provided our wedding with linens, food, and drinks. He made the entire night stress free! They were always availabe and ready to answer any questions we had leading up to our big day. I cannot say enough great things about Chopin Mon Ami Catering!
Where to begin! From the beginning my fiance and I completely fell in love with Todd and Judy. We initially heard about Chopin Mon Ami through our venue and The Knot and scheduled an appointment to meet with them. We were also told what amazing catering service they are known for providing throughout Galveston. My fiance grew up in the hill country of Texas and REALLY wanted to have a BBQ rehearsal dinner as he had been working in Germany up until the week before our wedding. Todd was so passionate when talking about his food that it sold my "hard to sell" fiance and we ended up hiring them for both the Rehearsal Dinner and actual wedding. We had a seated dinner for about 125 guests and everyone raved about the food. I always wanted my wedding food to be special and not just the usual bland chicken or beef and Chopin Mon Ami went above and beyond my expectations. Todd and his staff were incredibly professional and attentive throughout the entire evening and they definitely made our wedding that much more special. If you are on the fence for a catering company, Chopin Mon Ami is an easy choice! You won't be disappointed.
Chopin Mon Ami is full service!
Todd and Judy helped make our wedding day perfect. Todd and Judy helped with every aspect of our wedding. They referred us to great vendors and even helped us find an alternative venue at the last minute. 5 days before our wedding we went to Todd and Judy with our concerns that our outdoor wedding was going to get rained out with a 100% chance of rain. Todd and Judy jumped in their cars and took us to 2 available venues. We were able to form an alternate plan with their help and which was executed 3 days before the wedding. I was so touched that they helped make everything perfect. Judy even helped with the wedding procession and Todd ran out to get me (the bride) some advil to relieve a major headache! Thanks Todd and Judy!
Todd and Judy were wonderful to work with for my wedding. They are true professionals and helped put my mind at ease that my wedding would run smoothly. Leading up to the wedding, they helped me with every detail of the day and answered all of my questions. On the day of the wedding, everything was beautiful and could not have run more smoothly. They have so much experience and worked with all of my vendors to make sure everything was perfect. I could not have asked for better caterers and highly recommend them!
I could not have asked for a better catering company for my wedding of 250 guests at the Bryan Museum. Todd assisted me throughout the planning process to ensure everything flowed smoothly and that my guests were happy. He truly is a full-service catering company and I did not have to worry about a thing when it came to food at my wedding.
We had a cajun-themed cocktail hour with passed boudin balls, shrimp-and-grits spoons and seafood gumbo shots. For our appetizer we had a raw East Coast oyster shucking station - which the guests loved. Then for dinner we had a mixed salad, tuscan stuffed chicken, beef tenderloin medallions, mixed grilled vegetables and truffle mac-and-cheese. I don't know which I liked more - the steak or the chicken - they were both delicious!
Everything was perfect and we got SO many compliments on the food. I would highly recommend Chopin Mon Ami to other brides or anyone else looking for an on-point catering company.
Absolutely amazing service! The food was amazing & the staff was on top of everything. Todd was available whenever I needed him & made our wedding perfect. I would highly recommend using them. They are a full service catering company. Anytime I was running low on a drink I had another in my hand before I knew it. The staff was very professional & went above and beyond to make our day special. We needed food to go for family members for health reasons & they provided this without question.
Todd was extremely helpful from beginning to end of our wedding planning. Any question I had, he was quick at responding. So helpful! The food was delicious and his staff was well organized the day of our wedding!
Todd was absolutely amazing. Not only did his company provide wonderful food for our wedding on 10/10/15, but he also helped walk us through the process, explained different options, recommended other wonderful vendors and helped keep me calm and organized. I definitely recommend him for any event!
Not to mention, he gave us great recommendations for our honeymoon cruise! This man knows his business!
Thanks so much Todd! Keep in touch.
I was the wedding planner for my sister's September 2015 wedding and we chose Todd with Chopin Mon Ami. It was the best decision!
Todd and his team instantly make you feel like family and works with you to create a custom phenomenal dining experience (yes, experience!)
His prices are very reasonable and, myself being a charity event planner, by far the best tasting food I ever had. All the food was spiced perfectly and served warm - from the beginning to the end. His portions are very generous and everyone remarked how delicious it was.
Even on areas not in "his domain", he was very helpful in offering his wedding expertise and advice.
Thank you Todd and your team for a wonderful memorable evening!!
Todd and his staff and connections saved the day!!
We had planned a beach-side wedding for our daughter on West Galveston island. When we awoke on the wedding day we had torrential rain that threatened to cancel the whole thing. In that moment Todd was able to secure a new, and dry, venue on Offats Bayou (The Waterfront Event Center), adjust his crew's schedule, and ultimately deliver a great evening for our Bride, Groom, and guests. I highly recommend Todd and Chopin Mon Ami Catering for your event catering needs. He and Judy are great with an equally great family-centered team who hold the number one priority of delivering a great event.
Work with Todd and you will not be disappointed.
Todd and his mother were awesome from the first meeting. They were cordial and helpful through the entire process. The food was excellent and was a hit with the wedding guests. I would recommend them to anyone wanting an "Island" wedding.
Not professional to meet in a meeting when I want to give the manager thousands and he sits in flipflops and shorts with his legs open on a couch. Careful. Offers a lot for service, but was rude to my fiancé-Ruined my day.
Oh boy, where do I even start?
I'll start with when I first talked to Todd. I sent an email inquiring about their catering services. Todd called me within 10 minutes of me sending my email. I knew right of the bat that Todd was someone I could definitely get along with and work with. He was straight forward and didn't try to beat around the bush. I gave him my budget and he made suggestions to fit my budget, I am so glad we listened, it was better than I even dreamed my food would be. But it doesn't stop there. He didn't just provide an amazing, delicious, beautiful dinner, but he made sure that my visions came to life. He helped us with our linens and decorations, he took some of the most memorable pictures of my father and I that I will cherish for the rest of my life. He was 100% amazing. Our guests were raving about how delicious our meal was, as well as the snacks during cocktail hour. His mom Judy is also amazing, they are hands down the A team in Galveston, TX. Go talk to Chopin Mon Ami before you talk to anyone else, if he can't help you, he will point you in the right direction.
Everything he did was absolutely amazing, but the best part was, he became our friend. I knew I could trust him since day 1.
We love you Chopin Mon Ami!! We will never forget the role you played on the most important day of our lives. We are truly blessed to have met you.
First let me begin by saying Todd Schott and his mother Judy at Chopin Mon Ami are the most honest, caring and fun business people I have ever dealt with. They truly wanted to help us make our wedding the best it could be and bent over backwards to help us get there. I say they saved us from disaster because with less than five weeks to go we had to change our venue and Todd was there to not only help us find a new venue but to give us leads to the most honest vendors on the island. From the day my bride was balling crying and willing to throw the towel in to the "day of" Todd and his crew provided the utmost support and service. He was indeed the "full service man" because he made it happen when it looked like it wasn't going to. Most people won't ever experience the bind Jess and I did but it just goes to show you that if anything was to go awry Todd and Judy would be there to help you and walk you through it. They make it their problem too and help you see the wedding through, regardless! If you want first class service and want to work with the best of the best on the island then go with Todd and Chopin Mon Ami! There food is divine, there service is impeccable, they have a "Can do" attitude and the experience and connections to back it up! Don't waste time with the others to just save a dime when you can get what you pay for and that is the best of the best! Thanks for everything Todd and Judy and the crew at Chopin Mon Ami! YouDaMan!!!! God Bless you and yours! ~Marcus
The wedding was everything promised and more which was catered by Chopin mon ami in galveston Texas. Todd schott and his partner Judy , (his mom) were awesome. The venue held over 200 guests and required a conversion from church to reception hall which they accomplished in record time!the professionalism of the staff was exquisite , four star in every way. The appetizers were unique and delicious The dinner consisted of brisket and sausage with a Texas twist , might I say I am still dreaming of that sauce. Thumbs up to my favorite caterers, thank you Chopin Mon Ami!!!
This was my first time working with Chopin Mon Ami Catering. They were outstanding! From the planning process to the day-of execution, Todd Schott and his staff were excellent. I really appreciate a very responsive vendor and Chopin Mon Ami was nothing short of that. I recommend this caterer to any bride/client who wants to be well taken care of and enjoy fabulous eats at their event.
My husband and I are so happy we found Chopin Mon Ami. It is a family owned business and they are truly amazing people to work with. Sweet as can be. Mom Judy and son Todd gave us the the best service through out our meetings and all through the end of our wedding night. The food and presentation were amazing. Their staff service was also great as well. Our guests really enjoyed the food and cake at our wedding and we wouldn't change a thing! We couldn't be happier and would definitely recommend them to anyone. Truly grateful to have found them. They made our wedding a day to remember. Thanks Todd and Judy!
Todd and Judy were more than wonderful...They went above and beyond the call of duty. Not only did they make amazing food for the day of but coordinated everything...they made my life seem less stressful and allowed me to enjoy my time with my new Husband. We will be forever thankful and have defnitely gained lifelong friends.
Chopin Mon Ami did my catering, cakes, and all my rentals for my wedding on Tiki Island (near Galveston) with about 100 guests. It was all fantastic! I had a brunch buffet with a wide assortment of food. The servers and bartenders were very professional and the food was delicious - I got many compliments from my guests, even for weeks after the wedding! The bride's cake was beautiful and delicious as well -- some of the best icing I've ever had :) The groom's cake was actually several key lime pies, and they were simply amazing (and gorgeous). Todd and Judy were incredibly accommodating -- anything I requested (even on the day of the wedding) was met with the response "We will make it happen!", and they did! They were both extremely pleasant to work with every step of the way -- our planning meetings and tastings were a lot of fun, and they completely put me at ease. I didn't feel stressed about anything I left in their hands. On the day of the wedding, Todd even drove the catering truck through flooding in Galveston to get everything there on time! He also was instrumental in keeping everything on schedule while we were setting up and during the reception (including coordinating with the band), which was such a huge help during the whirlwind of the big day. I highly recommend Chopin Mon Ami with no reservations!!
I can honestly say without a doubt my wedding would not have been the same without Todd and Chopin Mon Ami staff! Hands down they made my wedding a dream come true! Todd and Judy were amazing to work with from the moment I walked in the door; from every phone call to every meeting I knew I picked the right catering company. Not only did they do my catering but they also did my linens, chairs, flat wears and cakes. I had 150 guest; cocktail hour, passed hors d'oeuvre, SEATED dinner and open bar - it turned out WONDERFUL! Many of my guests are still talking about the food and the service. Not only did the entire staff do an amazing job Todd really acted as the 'backbone' of the wedding if you will. He took on many roles throughout the wedding process and throughout the wedding day. My husband and I are truly grateful for Chopin Mon Ami!
The caterer's Chopin Mon Ami took care of everything for us on that special day. If it wasn't for them we all would have been nervous. Everything had to be brought in. The wedding was at the beach. The food was superb, the staff was attentive to everyones needs. The cake was also supplied by the caterer and our friends and family couldn't stop talking about how good that was as well. If anyone has a wedding in Galveston, Texas please contact this catering company, you will not be disappointed. They became like family to us. We were so happy with everything they did. My daughter and her husband could not have had a better day thanks to Chopin Mon Ami.
We wanted to find a local caterer in Galveston, Texas who would work with us and provide a quality product. We contacted four prospective caterers and requested that they provide us with a tasting of a couple of their entrées that projected the quality of their food. Most of them did not want to provide a tasting unless they had a signed contract in hand. We told them no tasting, no contract or engagement.
Todd at Chopin Mon Ami responded with a white linen meal for six at the first tasting. Todd was friendly and courteous. The tasting included salad, two appetizers, two entrees, bread, and butter on our schedule.
We had three tastings that day; and Chopin Mon Ami did not skimp or try to get us to settle for just an appetizer on which to make our selection of a caterer.
Chopin Mon Ami's food was by far the best of the local caterers we tried. When we made our decision to engage Chopin Mon Ami, we put down a deposit and then had Todd send us a listing of the possible appetizers, and entrees to choose for our wedding. About two months later, we had another tasting of an entrée and two appetizers.
We changed one of the entrees (we had "bistro filet" and "Brazilian chicken"). Our appetizers were "spring rolls", "boudin balls", and a "fruit and cheese table" served during the cocktail hour. Also served with the entrees were mixed vegetables (grilled fresh squash, zucchini, and onions), potatoes, and a salad with candied pecans and three different dressings.
Our guests commented that the food was excellent. I would concur. I even heard how good the food was in the weeks following the wedding.
Todd was visible and made sure his staff and bartenders were working as needed. Todd did visit with the parents of the bride and groom as well as the bride and groom to make sure they did not need anything.
When I was reading reviews on Chopin Mon Ami before we contacted them, I noted one negative review that commented that he was not responsive and did not communicate well with the bride and mother of the bride in that party. I had absolutely no difficulty reaching Todd or having my wedding planner reach Todd to set up a second tasting, coordinate times for setup, make menu changes, and even add additional guests within twenty days of the wedding. Chopin Mon Ami provided wedding services to other customers on weekends. We did not expect immediate return of calls. We did not expect him to drop everything and call us immediately. When we had immediate inquiries, we let him know and he or his staff would call us the same day. I did notice that he had his phone ring a number of times during our wedding. He looked at the call and then put his phone away. He told me the calls were from other customers, but he did not take them during a wedding.
We had no problem working with Chopin Mon Ami in setting up tastings, working with them to obtain a fair contract, and making arrangements for payment.
Chopin Mon Ami helped make our event a great one. There were plenty of compliments on the selection and quality of the food from appetizers for the cocktail hour to the main entrees.
Chopin's pricing was fair and we were pleased with Chopin Mon Ami's quality and quantity of food.
We would use Chopin Mon Ami again and we recommend them to brides and anyone looking for quality food and service at a fair price.
Thank you Todd and the Chopin Mon Ami family for helping make our wedding enjoyable.
Todd and his crew with the captain took care of everything in the professional way. Chopin Mon Ami accommodated our party on the short notice which made us really lucky. Every was perfect. Strong recommend them for catering to your parties.
Chopin Mon Ami did an absolutely amazing job! From the very first consult I felt completely comfortable with them. They made the experience way less stressful knowing they were on top of everything! Not only do they have great communication and service, the quality of their work is phenomenal! I loved everything they did for my wedding! I recommend them for anyone who is having an event in Galveston!
Not only were these people wonderful to work with - so flexible, interested in your needs/wants, & enthusiastic about their work - their food was wonderful! I loved it, and our guests would not hush up about how tasty and yummy it was at the wedding, as well as after it was all over. I have had many guests ask me "who was your caterer" so yes their food is of the finest quality, along with the extra services they provide - like bartenders, servers, china dinnerware/glassware & silverware, and cakes too - and the prices that they quote is a brides "dream come true". Our wedding cake & grooms cake was also part of the "package" and not only was the wedding cake beautiful it was so yummy. So thanks again, Judy & Todd, y'all made our special day just a bit more special!
Chopin Mon Ami was fantastic! Todd and Judy were so easy to work with, and were the BEST resource for evrything we needed in Galveston --from venu to flowers to vintage getaway car! Staff was courteous and energetic to the end of a perfect evening for 200+ guests. Presentation was top notch, food absolutely delicious, and service was impeccable. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of -- Todd even went out and got flip flops to replace the bride's 6" heels half way though the evening. Pciture perfect wedding!
Like many fellow knotty brides we like to do our research! I found Todd on here and him and his staff truly are 5 stars and rise above any brides expectations! He got to the venue at 9am and hand built a beautiful bamboo chuppah on the beach. The stuffed chicken and grilled snapper with veggies and salad was exquisite! I didn't have a coordinator so he helped with coordinating with all the vendors. Him and his staff were very professional and personable. Todd hand delivered our plates to our tables and made sure our glasses were always filled! I highly recommend Chopin mom ami for that dream wedding you've always wanted.
Todd and Judy were the perfect choice for our wedding in Galveston! Their food is super tasty, we had many compliments from our guests! As a bride who was working full time, running a separate business, AND planning a wedding, I really appreciated the convenience they offered. We were able to select our linens, table, cakes, food, and bartender through their services.
In addition to the normal stress of getting married, our venue was unexpectedly under construction. We didn't have a clear idea of what our day would look like. Todd was able to come to our rehearsal and work with the venue, as well as our other vendors, to make sure our day was perfect. It was so nice to know it was taken care of. It turned out beautifully, and helped us truly enjoy our wedding day instead of worrying about details. Thank you CMA!!
If you are looking for a caterer in the Galveston area you need to call Todd and Judy at Chopin Mon Ami. My wife Jill and I got married on board the Elissa in Galveston and we had our reception there in the museum. The professional staff at Chopin Mon Ami came in and set everything up and took care of my guests as if we were the only people on the planet. For dinner we had their bistro filet, tuscan chicken, vegetables, and roasted potatoes. The food was excellent!! Todd's chef was amazing and it was some of the best food I have ever eaten! Todd and Judy worked closely with our coordinator and made sure Jill and I did not have to worry about anything during our wedding and everything went perfectly! We had a little bit of a challenge with the venue due to the fact that the Elissa was actually under construction and the staff at the museum failed to tell us about it until it was too late, but the staff at Chopin Mon Ami made the best of a bad situation and made the place look beautiful! Five starts is not enough for these guys! I would recommend Chopin Mon Ami for all of your catering and cake needs!!!
SImply put, Todd and Judy created an experience we will remember the rest of our lives. When we met Todd, he warmly invited us in, sat us down, and took it form there. We let him know what we were thinking and he either said "I got you covered" or "I'lll do you one better." And he delivered. From organizing and setting up, to cooking and service, to tearing down and wishing us the best, Todd nailed it. Everyone we talked to after the wedding said how great the food was. And they're still talking about it. To Todd and Judy we say, well done! To anyone needing catering, we don't think you could do better than Chopin Mon Ami. We'll use them again, for anything and everything, and can't give a higher recommendation.
There truly are no words to describe just how amazing Chopin Mon Ami is. The food, staff, and service are over the top. My husband and I used Chopin Mon Ami for our wedding May 4th, 2013 and they made our dream wedding reality. Todd, Judy, and their staff are some of the sweetest people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and working with. As many people know planning weddings are stressful. However, they made sure every last detail was taken care of so we didn’t have to. Everything from presentation to quality of the food is exceptional. I still have people coming up to me three months latter bragging about how wonderful the food, cakes, and service at our wedding was. Chopin Mon Ami truly is an exceptional caterer.
