Catering a wedding is unbelievably expensive, and most of the quotes we received were over $15K for about 100 guests. We were so thankful to find Lombardi’s, which offered a much m...
ore reasonable option with great value. We had recently attended another wedding they catered, so we skipped the formal tasting and already knew the food would be good. They absolutely delivered—our guests enjoyed hot, tasty food, and the appetizers in particular were a big hit.
Because Lombardi’s doesn’t exclusively cater weddings, the booking process was a little different. I didn’t get a response to my initial email inquiry, but once I called and connected with their point of contact, communication was smooth and responsive. It took a little extra effort up front, but it was completely worth it for food that was yummy, crowd-pleasing, and far more affordable than most catering quotes we received.

food at the tasting was absolutely delicious and we were so excited for the big day! The cocktail hour food was delicious, and the dinner (especially the sea bass!) is still being talked about almost two months after our wedding! There was more than enough food to go around and quite a few of our guests went through the buffet a second time. They will definitely be the top of our list for other catered events!
Additionally they had great options for upgraded rentals that made it a lot easier on our end! Highly recommend!

Working with Andrew made the whole process so easy. From our tasting at the restaurant to selecting the menu, plates, and silverware, he guided us through every detail and made sure we felt confident in our choices. On the big day, everything was smooth and stress-free.
We highly recommend Concept Catering by Lombardi’s — they’re professional, kind, and the food is fantastic!

Food was delicious and warm! We had a chicken option and a salmon option and most guests ate both because they looked and tasted so good. We even had leftovers at the end of the night! We had a few guests who are vegan and Concept Catering was able to accommodate their dietary restrictions no problem. The staff was very friends and professional.
Their services were pretty affordable considering all that we got. I would recommend Concept Catering to anyone planning a wedding, or any large event!

We had a lot of our guests tell us how wonderful the food was and gave compliments on how fabulous the service from the staff was throughout the wedding. We are so happy that they were such a huge part of our special day!! We are so thankful for them!

Andrew and his team did a wonderful job catering my wife's retirement party of 80+ people. Andrew came highly recommended by our event planner and met or exceeded our expectations...
.
Andrew is very easy to work with and gave excellent guidance on what options people would like in a buffet for our type of event, including several vegetarian, vegan, and pescatarian options. His guidance on alcohol and non-alcohol drink options was spot-on as well.
His staff was also first-rate. The buffet was very well managed, looking fresh and appealing all evening. When they weren't tiding up, they were offering guests appetizers on a tray. The bartender was also very professional and kept the drinks flowing and area looking pristine throughout the evening.
We also appreciated how well he worked with the staff at the event site and our event planner. It was seamless and the everything from set-up to clean-up came off without a hitch. Seriously, zero issues.
We give Andrew and his staff our high recommendation and look forward to working with him in the future.

Where do I even start! Andrew and his team provided excellent service and of course amazing food! During dinner guests kept coming up to us to let us know how amazing the food was,...
and multiple people went back for seconds! For our entree we picked the penne Sicilian and the gorgonzola tortellini and they did NOT disappoint! One highlight is we had them set out a plate of appetizers for my new husband and I after the ceremony, which was perfect because we were able to have snack, and a private moment to ourselves (plus we were starving). The appetizers were DELICIOUS! We did the caprese skewers and bruschetta sampler for the appetizers which were a hit with guests. We also had them do a water, lemonade and coffee station last minute which guests loved! They also handled setting our desserts on platters, filled up waters, and set the tables with flatware and glasses! Plus we got sent home with our leftovers so that took cooking after wedding weekend off our plate! Overall Lombard's hit it out of the park, and we couldn't have hired a better food vendor.

ed appetizers and salmon picatta, but one of the main reasons we chose them was that the chicken marsala was the best that we have ever had. All of the food served on the day of the event was served at the same high standard they use fresh out of the kitchen in their restaurant.
The biggest reason that we chose this vendor however, was the events manager, Andrew. Andrew was incredible. He was always prompt in his responses, flexible/quick on his feet, and just incredibly friendly and professional at the same time. Andrew helped bring our vision of our wedding dinner to life and we are incredibly grateful!
