We got married in a massive snowstorm, but Maxwell's still came through! They braved the snow and cooked in it! Due to the snow, a lot of our guests unfortunately couldn't make it....
We ordered food for 75 and had only about 50 in attendance to eat. Everyone enjoyed the food so much that we only had one pizza leftover the next day! We wished we had more leftovers because it was amazing! The communication was great and everything met and exceeded our expectations.
Any questions?

g they were efficient, produced great pizzas and cleaned up great. A perk of Maxwell's is they do not need to hook up onto anything, they are self-sufficient. Keilee was very responsive with any questions we had and we had no complaints through the entire process.

The wood-fired pizza was incredible—fresh, warm, and full of flavor. They also offered gluten-free and vegetarian options that everyone loved, which made all of our guests feel included and taken care of.

r. We went with a large charcuterie, salad, 2 apps (Bacon Wrapped Scallops, oh yes!), and 4 different pizzas (Nashville Hot yummmm!). They were even kind enough to make a few cheese pizzas for our young kids. To boot, the communication between Maxwell's and the venue's wedding manager allowed us one less thing to stress about. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
