La Mila provided outstanding catering services for our 2024 wedding! Elie, Heidi, and their team were so personable and easy to work with. Their passion, care, and professional experience were reflected in every detail they incorporated into our special day. Throughout the planning process, Elie worked with us to put together a menu and ensure that all of our needs were met on the day of, giving us much-needed peace of mind. Their team of servers and chefs showed excellent attention to our guests, and the artful spreads they put together, from the cocktail hour through dessert, were stunning. On top of this, the food was incredibly delicious and cooked to perfection. So many of our guests have reached out to comment on how remarkable the food and service were. (We're still daydreaming about those meatball skewers, the garlic chicken, the short ribs, and more!) La Mila was a crucial part of making our day seamless and unforgettable. I highly, highly recommend them for your catering needs!

As a classically trained chef, I hope my review of La Mila inspires anyone doing their “homework” to earn an A — for themselves, especially their guests. I’ve been to many weddings, and the food served is often an edible afterthought. How many times, when leaving a wedding, were you asked, “What did you think about the food?” — and you replied with shrugged shoulders, “Eh, it was okay.” That is not the case with La Mila.
A huge shoutout and thank you to Sandy, who was able to pull together a phenomenal menu all in a very timely timeline. Sandy was honest, upfront, and available around our busy work schedule. The day before and the day of, Sandy was there to help with setup — from the big asks, like helping move furniture, to the small tasks—like lighting lanterns and ensuring no glass of champagne for our toast was served empty! Given our wedding took place at our home, we thoroughly appreciated Sandy staying late to clean the kitchen, empty overflowing garbage, and make sure our home was not a war zone when we woke up the next morning!
Elie’s execution of our menu was stellar. As a classically trained chef, I was thoroughly impressed by the well-run machine Elie could create within our garage, the makeshift kitchen for the event. It rained on our wedding day, and we were blessed with a beautiful, vivid rainbow—right before dinner service. This blessing brought all our guests outside for 30 minutes—right before dinner. A major wrench in the moment-by-moment timeline. I know how this, for many chefs, can be a disruptive, unexpected delay—but Elie did not miss a beat. All of our guests raved about the food—notably friends who I graduated with from the Culinary Institute of America.
One thing I learned in culinary school is that you “eat with your eyes first.” Simply put, Heidi’s presentation skills are on point! Her attention to detail in creating beautiful food displays, notably for our cocktail hour, showed the care, thought and love we wanted our guests to feel.
Sandy, Elie, and Heidi may be the stars of La Mila’s show—but the success of our wedding would not have been possible without their hard-working and friendly staff.
One of the elements that sold us on choosing La Mila, was their well-stocked arsenal of kitchen equipment they brought on site. (Most caterers require you rent equipment separately, which is not only more expensive, but introduces a whole new dimension of moving parts.) La Mila was also able to include chinaware, silverware, and the majority of our glassware! They even included soft drinks, water, condiments, cocktail napkins, etc. — all of this, and they still came in under what we were quoted by other caterers.
Thank you, Sandy, Elie, Heidi, and the entire La Mila Catering & Events team, for making our wedding day what it was. Your talent, professionalism, and experience were felt by everyone who took part in our special day.

This review is a tad long so bear with me.
I worked with La Mila Catering for my sister’s wedding which was held on 27 July 2024.
While planning my wedding a few years ago I knew what to expect and what questions to ask. What I didn’t expect was working with such a lovely and genuine team.
I worked with Sandy specifically for catering services only. She’s spunky, lively, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Working with her has been a pleasure and I felt as if I were talking to one of my best friends.
Sandy is a great salesperson. She not only explains what La Mila offers but she does it in a way that is transparent and has no unexpected costs and “fine print”. She communicates well and is direct, which I appreciate. She’s a talker and I don’t mean that negatively. She makes you feel like family most sincerely.
In terms of planning and coordination, Sandy was excellent and they’re lucky to have her.
Menu: When creating the menu my sister wanted Mediterranean food. Now, I believe that their specialty is Mediterranean cuisine, but they do not shy away from other cuisines. Their menu is extensive and will cater to anyone’s taste. Skies the limit! We had quite a bit of offerings for Cocktail hour, Dinner, and Dessert.
We were able to have a tasting which helped us narrow down if what was selected previously was what they wanted for the day of the wedding. There we met Elie (E-Lee NOT El-lee) and Heidi, the owners, and Sandy in person. Elie is the head chef and knows what he’s doing in the kitchen. Everything was cooked to perfection; delicious tasting and the portions were filling. Aside from the food it was obvious that Elie and Heidi work hard for their business and are truly dedicated.
Day of the wedding: Elie, Heidi and their team worked based on the wedding timeline that I created. They were on time to serve all their food. I can’t tell you how many times I saw Elie walking back and forth to check on food and to bring food. That guy was moving! Heidi did all of the cocktail and dessert table placement and more. They are a hardworking team and I highly recommend them. From start to finish it was easy and perfectly executed.
Point blank the food was delicious and I wish they had a restaurant so I could eat there all the time. LOL
Thank you again for your friendship, delicious food and professionalism.

Planning a wedding can be as smooth as peanut butter or as chaotic as a stampede. Thankfully, we stumbled upon La Mila, and boy, did they show out!
From our first chat with Elie, we were blown away by his easygoing yet assertive demeanor. He listened to our dreams and then did his thing to turn them into a reality.
Picture this: A year after our wedding, our guests are still raving about the cocktail hour. And trust us, handling 800 guests when we expected 600 is like juggling flaming torches while riding a unicycle on a tightrope. But did La Mila flinch? Not at all! They embraced the challenge with open arms and delivered.
Now, let's talk about the dessert cart. Oh boy, was it a hit! It's as if the cart itself had wings, because it disappeared faster than Houdini. Every sweet treat on that cart was a work of art, and I wouldn't be surprised if they had a dessert Picasso hiding in their kitchen.
What truly sets La Mila apart, though, is how they made us feel like they were part of our wedding. Their patience and professionalism shone bright.
In a world where wedding planning can sometimes feel like herding cats, La Mila stood out as a beacon of expertise, warmth, and unparalleled dedication. If you want a caterer who will go above and beyond, who will turn your wedding into an edible masterpiece, and who will make you feel like family, then look no further.
Thank you, Elie & the La Mila Team, for being the culinary architect of our dreams and for making our wedding a day that will forever be remembered with a full heart and a satisfied stomach!
With Love,
Dade & Norman

I can not say enough good things. Elie was a pleasure to work with and accommodated all of our needs. We went for a passed hor dervs all night. He also set up a beautiful table with cheese, meats, and veggies. All of my guest loved that. I kept people from spending all their time at tables. It was also a great way to please my vegans and gluten free friends.

I want to point out that this catering company saved my event…… literally saved it without them I would have had to postpone my wedding. No fault to the other caterer though because of covid they had to cancel a week before the wedding . He did suggest a couple caters but they didn’t pan out since my event was only a week away. As an attempted at a hell mary I posted my event on bark and was contacted by the owner Elie. Even with only a week notice he assured me that he can handle the wedding. Just want to point out my wedding was roughly 600 guest. We stuck to a simple menu with individual salads , pasta dishes and individual entrees. Food came out in a timely manner and guest just loved the presentation and the taste. Presentation was key! It’s hard to please everyone but I assure you guest loved every bite.
