First and foremost: WE LOVE KRISTIN!! If you make the brilliant decision to hire Fortuna's you will then have the honor of getting to know Kristin and Nancy -- it will make your we...
dding planning experience so much better.
My wife and I got married on September 23, 2023, in Madison, CT. We knew from the get-go that food and drink would be central to our celebration, and that we wanted the wedding to feel like a massive, casual dinner party with all of our favorite people. Our wedding planner, the incredible Regina (of Weddings by Regina Marie), connected us with a small handful of possible vendors who she knew could make this feeling come to life. We fell instantly in love with Fortuna's after one conversation with Kristin. Her warmth and excitement about our possible menu carried through even a zoom screen (as we were planning our wedding from Denver, CO). We wanted to go with an eclectic menu, foods not typically found at a wedding. Kristin took our idea and created a drool-worthy, personalized menu. An olive and hummus bar, vegetarian samosas, garlic dips for chicken skewers, chickpea muhammara, butter chicken, turmeric rice, falafel -- just to name a handful of stars of the menu. My wife really wanted tater tots late in the night as well, and Fortuna's made this happen -- dipping sauces included! They also coordinated a cookie and donut bar for dessert which got truly RAVE reviews. Incredible! Kristin was so flexible as we made changes throughout the process.
When we finally got to Connecticut for a tasting, Kristin and Nancy hosted not only us, but also both sets of our parents in their kitchen. The tasting was more like a meal that kept on feeding us for days after! When we requested little changes based on our guests' known preferences, they were so receptive and ready to hear that feedback.
We also decided to have our drinks through Fortuna's, and they were a HIT! We have a friend who works in the wine industry and gifted us a ton of wine for our wedding. Kristin was, again, ready to adjust and helped us adjust our drink menu and cost based on the change.
On the day of, the Fortuna's team was exceptionally warm, flexible with all of the last-minute rain-related changes, and took such beautiful care of us and our community. I could go (and have gone) on and on -- the day would not have been the same without Kristin (through every step of the way), and we are so deeply grateful. Hire Fortuna's if you want to feel like your caterers are family!

If I could give Fortunas 100 stars it still wouldn’t be enough. They are truly the most amazing catering
team. They catered my beach wedding this past Saturday with food for Sunda...
y after party as well. The food was talked about constantly by all of our guests and I had 3 people ask for their information for parties they are hosting. Besides the high quality food the service was truly incomparable. The servers were so kind and helpful so above and beyond anything you could ever expect. To the point I have a video of one of the servers helping me with my train when I was walking down the stairs. And they actively engaged all our guests in Polaroids that we had for candids. These are not things they are paid or asked to do and yet they did it with huge smiles on their face. I do not have enough words for how helpful Nancy and Kristen were from start to finish in this process. I ask a lot of questions and they even responded to me while on vacation! I had the wedding of my dreams and it would have never been even close to possible without the superior team of Fortunas catering. Can’t wait to work with them again!
We had Fortuna's Catering cater our wedding reception and have zero doubts we picked the best people for the job!
Working with Kristin and Nancy from the get go was just easy. The...
y both were very responsive, accommodating to our needs (and those of our guests), and just plain great to work with. They were flexible and were able to even meet us at our venue of choice for a tasting/discussion of menu options.
The food was absolutely stunning and their social media content captures it accurately! Our guests devoured everything and kept talking about how fantastic all the food and drink offerings were. Most importantly, they refused to let us miss any of it. They ensured we were brought plates of everything no matter where in our wedding venue we might have been hiding. Their expertise, great staff, and professionalism really helped our day go smoothly and our tummies all satisfied. I would never hesitate to utilize them again for catering needs and you should reach out immediately if you need a caterer!
Nancy throughout was amazing! I knew we wanted to do stations for our wedding as this is a more budget-friendly idea. Nancy and I came up with an idea to do a mac and cheese and sa...
lad bar. Everyone enjoyed it so much at the wedding! Even though there was a little bit of a misunderstanding with one of my food choices at the end of the night, everything was still really great. Thanks again for all your help and I will definitely be ordering something for the holidays soon!
Nancy and Kristin were fantastic to work with. They customized our menu to fit exactly what we wanted. Their staff was attentive and took great care of us. Everyone raved about the...
