Green Mill Catering & Bar Service

ig craft beer drinkers and they were able to get exactly what he wanted. Our friends are still commenting on how awesome the food was. Highly recommend for anyone looking.

njoyed their food. There were some miscommunications the day of but were resolved so quickly. They checked in with us during the reception to make sure everything was perfect!

there!

ely kind and did a wonderful job making sure everyone had what they needed. Not to mention everyone was beyond delighted with the food, and made a point to tell me how delicious it all was. The late night pizza was also a big hit. Amazing food, Awesome service, if I need to cater another event I will defiantly use Green Mill again!

ht the dishes we wanted to taste, plus some! And they bought all our drinks for the evening. They were so wonderful to work with and it was amazing food. We did plated options for our guests, and because we agreed to sign a contract within 14 days of our tasting, we received 10 free late-night pizzas for our wedding, which was a Godsend! We had such an easy time planning the day, and they even gave me extra tablecloths to cover the tables a little more. Kristin was our catering manager (from the Lakeville location) and was so great to work with as well. She even came up to us at the end of the night to congratulate us on the wonderful wedding. A very sweet sentiment that she did not have to do.

derful bonus) but the service was superior and I always felt like you had our best interest at heart with every step of the process. We greatly, greatly, greatly appreciated being able to pick up the table linens a day in advance and the manager at your Lakeville restaurant was so helpful and gracious. He loaded them all into our vehicle. The staff showed up by 10 am the day of the wedding ready to go! They were polite and professional and offered to light all of our candles 15 minutes prior to dinner starting! Sweet!!! We must have brought a bizzillion candles to the event so this was no small task and I was blown away that they offered to help with that! The young lady doing the clean up at the end of the night was also fantastic. She carefully set all decor aside as she cleaned. The staff replenished our dessert bar which to me was well above and beyond the call of duty. The staff also moved (reset up) the buffet tables and equipment outside since it was fairly crowded in the lean to. It was unbelievable service and attention to detail and I have recommended you (already) to every co-worker in my department that asked about the wedding. I cannot say enough good things about Green Mill and will use you again and continue to recommend you all to my co-workers and friends with kids getting married!

a Mexican restaurant, but they did AWESOME!! We have been told time and time again by guests that the chicken was amazing as was the rice as was the Mexican street corn. It was beyond our expectations!! They also did a great job with the bar and with the popcorn we ordered during the cocktail hour. They were very easy to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process and had very clear communication. Back when we did the tasting to decide what we would serve at the wedding, we were also very impressed! From start to finish, GM did a fantastic job and we would highly recommend them - we'd give them 6 stars if we could!

ot a little dry, but it was a hot day. Overall highly recommend! Wonderful, professional service.

compliments about our wedding food. Would recommend to anyone!

y what we wanted. I wanted the napkins they provided folded a certain way, and they even executed that! I got rave reviews from our wedding food, and one guest even said it was the best wedding food she had ever had, which made me really happy to hear. I'd totally recommend Green Mill to any bride planning her wedding!

as well!

ly ever came to us if it was completely necessary, which I believe was once during the night. We never had to worry about a thing! And the food was the best of quality at a reasonable price. MOB had some food sensitivities and they were very accommodating to those need. We are grateful we choose GM!!

Every staff member was easy to work with and attentive to details. Green Mill went above and beyond our expectations. I would highly recommend them and will use them for all future events.

and I was a mess but they handled it with ease and professionalism and I could not have been more grateful! We decided to do plated entrees, the servers were so friendly and professional. Late night pizza was also a nice bonus! Overall would highly recommend!

t so many compliments from our guests saying the food was the best they'd ever had at a wedding! My wife and I were so happy we picked Green Mill Catering for our wedding and we highly recommend Amber and the the entire Green Mill Staff.

up everything the day of and made the day super easy! We got so many complements on the food from our friends and family after the wedding. The late night pizza was a big hit and perfectly timed. I highly recommend green mill for any event that you need!

sional and friendly, the food was served warm and not dried out! The late night pizzas were an absolute hit! Would highly recommend Green Mill for catering your wedding.

from the original tasting to the end of the wedding night. The food was fabulous and the late night pizzas were greatly appreciated. I highly recommend Green Mill to cater any event.

questions we had when designing the night, and we didn't feel worried about anything. Thank you all for the great service!! 😁

was able to arrange practically every element of my wedding through Green Mill. From Food, to service, to bar to rentals. It was nice to work with one vendor who could provide all of these elements. I also appreciated that my main contact (Katie Canfield) was on top of all the details, leaving me and my husband able to enjoy our wedding and not stress at all about how the appetizers, dinner and breakdown were going to go. Green Mill is versatile and I would recommend them for events both large and small.

ut on our dance floor and danced to the Wobble with us! The other was a doll and she took such good care of me. I had a melt down at one point and she talked me down and made me laugh! They treat you like family and I can’t say enough great things about GMC.

and Andrea answered them all quickly and never felt if was a bother. I can’t brag enough about them!!

essional and everything went off without a hitch. They helped dismiss guests (so our DJ didn't have to) and made sure everyone with special dietary needs was accommodated. The manager even helped manage the desserts even though they didn't provide them; they truly took responsibility for the entire dinner experience and made it a great evening. Besides the great service the food was amazing! We had so many compliments from our guests on the food with several saying it was the best food they had had at a wedding. Highly recommend!

had last minute changes that they handled with ease. The food was great as was the service. I would give them my highest recommendation!

om those who helped us celebrate. From the appetizers to the desert, everything was on point. Food was a priority for us for our wedding reception and we are beyond happy with our choice! Thank you Green Mill!

if we wanted those things — that’s not true! We bought our own popcorn and s’more stuff and saved hundreds of dollars doing that. For the bar, our venue only allowed beer and wine. I asked if we could provide the kegs, wine, water, and pop and just use their bartenders. After rereading the contract and showing our coordinator our options again, they agreed as long as we provided our own cups. I saved close to $1000 there! They wanted to charge $2.50/can of pop, when I bought a pack of 36 for $4 at Sam’s club (just 1 example of a great deal!) I went to Sam’s Club (pop, cups, water), Trader Joe’s (wine), and a liquor store (kegs) for all of my bar needs! For the day of - it went pretty well. Our contact at Green Mill was very attentive to our needs. The only problem was that our venue was 2 floors. The cocktail hour was in the basement. The bartenders misunderstood that they were to serve downstairs until the reception started, then move upstairs. Luckily, I caught this after about 5 minutes (my alone time after getting married). They rounded up some guests to help move things quickly and the rest went really well! I would suggest using Green Mill because their food is beyond terrific. However, be firm and clear on your needs!

stes of their food as I shot the event haha! I highly recommend them for any event or wedding that you may need professional catering for. ~ Nicole Engstrom of Little Mac Design (Minnesota Portrait Photographer & Graphic Designer)

CHANGER. Everyone loved it! The servers were sweet and speedy. Big win!

as attended to just as we had planned it.

enced. Really fabulous to work with. The day of: EXCELLENT. On time, great wait-staff, never had to prompt or ask for anything. Everything delivered as contracted. Bartenders were fabulous also. Very friendly and engaging in a professional manner. Such a good experience. Now: the food. First I was shocked that a "pizza place" did catering. Then I tasted their food. Also, REALLY AMAZING. Was far and above other caterers at a tasting event. We were a little different in that we had a pancake brunch. I was worried the pancakes would be soggy and the eggs dry and rubbery. All was perfect and simply yummy. A hit for all. I absolutely without hesitation recommend Green Mill as your caterer. Don't be put off by the "Pizza Place" thought. They are fabulous and know what they are doing.

eable. GM was very easy to work with, our event took place in Minneapolis but was planned, through email and phone calls, from NY! We rated GM an 11 our of 10! We highly recommend them.

ke the food we tried at the tasting was better than the food at the wedding. The breakfast calzones on the day of the wedding were fairly dry and didn't taste quite as fresh as the first time we tasted them. However, it was still very good. I would recommend Green Mill!

about the food from everyone, the service and friendliness of the onsite staff was more than what we could have asked for. Green Mill will be very high on our recommendations list and I’m confident we will use Green Mill Catering again in the future.

ey made sure everything was handled properly...plus everything was delicious!

for a wedding reception. My mother-in-law praised the serving staff as being courteous while also doing their work so efficiently they "blended into the background." They were helpful in getting my father-in-law a hot entree when he arrived late. I would recommend Green Mill for future weddings, receptions, or other special events.

and was as good as the tasting samples. The waiters were also very professional and friendly. We received a lot of compliments from our guests and felt very proud about our choice.

tly. All staff were friendly and helpful. We truly made the right choice and would choose them again for any catering need. Highly recommended!

ough in her responses. In the weeks leading up to our big event, Andrea handed us off to Amber to sort out the drink list. Having guests coming from out-of-state, is was important to us to have a Minnesota flavor to most all aspects of our party. Amber (our point of contact) went above and beyond to ensure that we had the Minnesota beers and ciders that we desired. The beer list included Surly Furious, Fulton Lonely Blonde, Grainbelt Premium, and a keg of Loon Juice - which the guests loved on a VERY hot Minnesota spring day. The bartenders for the event were excellent and our guests spoke highly of the offerings. Overall - an excellent experience working with Green Mill Catering!

our guests.

dishes to exactly how we wanted them. The food was amazing and very high quality. It all turned out exactly how we wanted. We were leery to do buffet style with the food sitting out for 220 guests, but it all stayed very fresh, warm, and was maintained with a watchful eye by the staff. We received so many compliments and many guests said it was the best food they’ve had at a wedding. Patty at the Woodbury location was outstanding. She was diligent to ensure that we got exactly what we wanted and worked very well within our budget, never pushing us out to make a better sale. She only cared about what we wanted and made sure it always fit our budget. Throughout the entire process she was exceptionally responsive and always touched base. The serving staff were timely, professional, polite, and efficient. I cannot imagine having a better experience with any other caterer. We recommend Green Mill to anyone for any occasion.

r! They served salad and bread to all the tables (family style) and the main course was buffet style. The Mac & Cheese was a HUGE hit! The noodles were cooked perfect and the cheese was just the right amount! The pork was super tender and delish, along with the sauces! The Green Beans were nice and crisp! Super happy about it all! They also went above and beyond by laying out my desserts for me too! One less thing I had to worry about. I just wanted to shout out some highlights that stood out to me the most about Green Mill Catering : 1) PIZZA - I got complimentary late night pizza by securing my deposit within a certain time frame 2) GLUTEN-FREE - They delivered single plates of gluten-free food to my guest who had this allergy 3) TABLECLOTHS - These were included with the package and one less thing I had to worry about, very convenient! I would for sure hire Green Mill again, and if you are still thinking about it, go to a tasting and see for yourself how good the food is! :)

hout the process. Ultimately we made a plan that fit within our tight budget but also would take care of our guests. Katie managed details from there, and delivered professional service from the beginning of the reception through cleanup. I heard only compliments from guests. Overall, professional and straightforward to work with. Responsive and reasonably priced. I would highly recommend to friends and family.

verything from the first time we met all the way through to reception was perfect! The contacts we had were very helpful and made our vision come true! We chose a taco buffet with 2 types of meat, hard and soft shells, enchiladas, all the toppings, and chips with guac! Our coordinator the day of, Sarah, was soooooooo amazing! We were beyond grateful for her attention to detail and ensuring our evening stayed on track! THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts!! I highly recommend Green Mill Catering for your big event!

od and service!

nt so incredibly smoothly and all of our guests raved about the food- delicious! We highly recommend the Green Mill for any event!

for everyone to have unlimited soda, and prepaid BOTH bartenders tips so there would be no need for for a tip jar. First off, almost every drink was 8$ and we’re in small cups, people came up to tell us that the pop tasted super watery and flat(I tried it and it was not good at all)... and about halfway through the night my husband noticed a tip jar out. When I went to ask them to take it away as we had already paid the tip they both scoffed and rolled their eyes at me! They then took the jar down and proceeded to dump it out and start splitting it up while people were waiting to get a drink!!! Later several people in my bridal party said they did that several times through the night to keep the jar empty. I felt appalled knowing we spend thousands of dollars to have a bar and they both acted so unprofessional, I wish I got their names to report them. I will say Green Mill refunded us the $300 we pre paid for the tip which was nice, but honestly it was not worth the trouble. They may be cheaper than other companies but please stay away, I would’ve spent thousands of dollars more for better service.

ove and beyond for any special request we had. From dietary restrictions to special hot chocolate bars, these ladies had our backs. Their menu is extensive with so many options to personalize. Our venue required a "flip" from the ceremony configuration to the reception and the staff was quick and thorough in resetting the room. The attention to detail was amazing during the entire evening which left us 100% comfortable and confident. We never worried once! Our guests raved about the food and attention. Thank so much Green Mill!

od the wedding night was delicious. We got many compliments. We were told by guests the serving size was good and the vegetables were perfectly cooked. We were able to have 3 meal chocies for a plated dinner without adding extra fees which was something other caters had.

ually pan out, but I think we could have marked our place cards better, in hindsight. Sarah was great. Food was delicious. Honestly, 100% recommend. Could not be happier. Guests enjoyed the meal too! :)

as quite a bit of food left after everyone went through but no announcement was made to guests so no one went up for seconds. A couple people mentioned how hungry they were later and our late night pizza “went in record time” per a staff member. Just a bummer given how much expensive wedding food is . . . it would have been great to be able to utilize it all. We really appreciated that the staff member at the end of the night (I am sorry I didn’t ask her name) who helped with centerpieces.

ally texted during dinner to remark on how impressed they were! Not only was the quantity great, the quality was superb. We especially received a number of compliments on the beef and the spinach tortelloni. The service was excellent all night, and the table settings looked very classy. We loved having the option of colored napkins at no extra cost. Also, because we booked right after our tasting, Green Mill threw in free late night pizza delivery. This was a huge hit with our guests! The perfect way to end the night! Thank you, Green Mill!

thing went off without a hitch!

well. There were no problems and Green Mill definitely helped make our day run smoothly.

g with us to make it right!

the food. Everything looked beautiful and service was seamless.

would receive and the food was outstanding. We even cancelled another tasting we had scheduled, to go with them. We loved everything we tried and had a hard time choosing our entrees. Prior to our wedding we were contacted by a different employee - Sarah, whom we met for our final meeting. We again felt good with the communication and while we received excellent comments on the food itself, there were some service issues that left us a little let down. During the setup, the night before, half empty salt and pepper shakers were set out on the table (very tacky) my daughters actually ordered salt and pepper through amazon to refill these the day of. The groom, who has a nut allergy, initially received the wrong entrée. When we found a server to get the correct entree, he was given the correct dinner, but with nuts. We again had to get a server’s attention and he was finally given the correct entrée, but with no potatoes - when I once again got the server there for the third time - she seemed annoyed and stated, “the note said no potatoes” to which I replied “no, the note said no nuts” and a short while later they brought him a side of potatoes. The next issue was the parent’s tables were not served next and they waited over half an hour, after we were served. While this may have been something we should have clarified with the servers more, we thought it was just a given. Nest issue - we had requested that the small cake be removed from our dessert table, after the cake cutting, and that plates be set out on the donut bar (which we had to pay extra for, as Green Mill didn’t do our dessert). My daughter and I had to remove the cake ourselves and set this aside on the table and not until several guests served themselves donuts using napkins, did we see a server to get our plates we paid for, set out. The final let down were the late night pizzas, although this was given to us at no cost, the pizzas were just set out near the kitchen entrance on a back dinner table. No one informed us they were there and we didn’t know until a few people realized there was pizza. All in all, we feel the food was excellent and a great value, but the service was lacking.

d perfectly. We received excellent reviews from guests of the food, and the items I tasted myself were delicious! Thank you Green Mill for helping make our day so wonderful!

. We had MANY guests rave about how great the food was at the wedding (which is something you don't usually hear many comments on when it comes to weddings). Renee was at the wedding and checked in on my husband and I multiple times throughout the night to see if they could get us anything at all. Our only regret when it came to the food was that we did not sit down and eat MORE of it. If we could do it all over again (which we wish we could) we would 100% choose Green Mill over and over again!

ar at our summer wedding and everyone said it was delicious! We also loved how they gave us flexibility in the bar service... we didn't like the idea of a totally open bar so we decided to pay for 1 keg + 18 bottles of wine for our guests... then when those ran out, it turned into a cash bar. The entire team was very professional and friendly! I was also super happy that they provided all our table linens + colored napkins for us. The room looked BEAUTIFUL. We definitely recommend working with Green Mill :)

erything work smoothly and easily. We worked with Sarah and Katie and they both did a marvelous job throughout our whole wedding process. They were quick, pleasant, reliable, flexible and experienced when I threw dozens of questions in their direction! They worked cooperatively and smoothly with our other vendors for desserts and bartending and were overall so wonderful to work with. Green Mill also allowed me to decreased our invoice when we received back some last minute "not comings" and needed to decrease our head-count- something most other caterers are not willing to do! We appreciated that so much, and were able to save more money. Truly one of our best decisions of our wedding. We will be referring them to several other couples!!!

food. They were willing to work with us to provide a custom vegetarian taco filling option and made it easily available the day of. They also provided the alcohol for the evening. The bartender was friendly and helpful. Green Mill worked with the winery to put together a bar package that included their wine as well as beer/liquor options.

st food they've had at a wedding thus far! So impressed with Green Mill, hands down!

! So much food and Renee was great to work with. We decided very quickly to book with them and Sarah was very quick to answer all of our questions. Service on wedding day was great and the food was delicious - the late night pizza snack was also an added bonus! They were also incredibly helpful with setting up and replenishing our dessert. Thank you, Green Mill!

n instant and everyone loved our salad and pasta dish choice. Family Style is the way to go future brides! It went so smoothly in serving! Our tables looked beautiful with the linens and all! I would highly recommend Green Mill as your first choice for your wedding day meal!

ail and helped us with details that we didn't even think about. We had many compliments on the food and service. Katie answered every question and email very promptly. The butler passed appetizers were amazing and the butlers even went and served our guests outside. The absolutely vodka chicken and lasagne campanelle was absolutely wonderful and the late night pizzas were delicious! I would definitely recommend Green Mill to anyone!

and all the food served to us was delicious and hot. Unfortunately due to cost (we had a smaller budget), we did not end up using them for food. However, we still booked them for bar service and had a combination of hosted beer and cash bar. The whole process of going back and forth with the food and bar quotes was not a big hassle at all, the emails were replied quickly and they were always happy to adjust my quote depending on what I wanted (and I was pretty indecisive). I worked with Renee and Katie on the quotes and they answered all my questions quickly. On the day of the wedding, the bartenders (two for a 110 person wedding) arrived on time and were professional, and everyone loved them and they poured drinks appropriately strong ;). They were quick to clean up after last call and everything was flawless!

ancel all other tastings we had  Sarah was great to work with in the weeks leading up to the event – I had so many random questions and she answered them quickly and thoroughly. Thank you everyone for making our day so delicious!

ctly the way we envisioned. We had many compliments on the food and service. Katie answered every question we came across the day of and she knew the answer to every question I had tomake sure the day went smoothly. The appetizers before hand were absolutely incredible!! The chicken Marsala was Devine and our cake was perfect! Definitely recommend Green Mill To anyone!
