We absolutely loved our experience with Mazzone catering. We worked closely with our wedding planner, Paula Smith, and Amy and Ellie over the course of planning our wedding and reh...earsal meal. Our wedding was at the Sablewood and our rehearsal was at the Glen Sanders mansion. We also did a tasting and it was delicious, I definitely recommend.
The day of, I had a personal attendant named Tamara and she was absolutely incredible!!!!! She did everything from serving food to helping pin my dress and was thoughtful and kind. It definitely was a nice touch.
For our rehearsal dinner we had passed hors d’oeuvres and a buffet with spinach and artichoke dip. We had a farmstand salad, which was a big hit. We also had a buffet for our main meal and the most popular dish was the chicken pot pie with mashed potatoes- so good. For dessert we had a s’mores bar and cobbler; it was delicious.
For day of lunch for the bridal party, we had sandwiches, pasta salad, and chips. The bridal party and parents absolutely loved this! We had mimosas and mine was a cranberry mix that was beautiful and delicious (bonus, I managed not to spill on my dress once I was in it).
For our wedding, we had a hard roll and a Caesar salad, followed by one of three mains: filet mignon, lamb osso buco, and carrot spaetzle. Of course, as the bride and groom we got a sampling of all three and by a sampling I mean all three meals. My husband is a big eater and he ordered a second fillet mignon day of, which of course they had on hand (they’re super prepared!). We also wanted all of our vendors to have the same meal as our guests and Mazzone was very accommodating. For dessert we had a three tier cake, it was gorgeous, and it was a red velvet cake with raspberry mousse filling and buttercream icing. We also had a s’mores bar by the fire and a late night doughboy station.
We did two signature cocktails the first was a Diet Coke with whiskey and lime and the second was a blue Mojito with curaçao. There’s a story as to why the diet Coke with whiskey and lime was pretty simple (it had nothing to do with Mazzone), but I won’t digress. Mazzone managed to put together two different but similar versions of our signature cocktails for the rehearsal and for the wedding. This kept it fun and also allowed the the bridal party to have a surprise on the day of the wedding. My husband and I were brought both versions on both days by Mazzone staff. I will say as someone who doesn’t drink very much, I relied on our guests’ feedback which was wholly positive. I will say as an observer, the bartenders had a very strong pour, which was appreciated by all.
My brother, the man of honor, managed to get all the leftovers because he was obsessed with the food. He had it a few days later and said it was still delicious. I might not recommend doing that, but oh well.
We saved the top layer of the cake and it was gorgeous. It wasn’t iced how we
envisioned, but it ended up looking better that way so no complaints here! (We wanted minimalistic icing showing the cake on the outside, but they did a full icing instead and it looked really good.)
Overall, if you’re on the fence, call and talk to them. If you still aren’t sure, try to sign up for a tasting…absolutely worth every penny!
