First off YUM! Second the staff are fantastic! Cynthia is a dream to work with! The service staff were so attentive of us as the bride and groom but also our guests! EVERYONE loved...
the food! They have options for everyone, even the picky eaters loved their food! I never once had to worry about anything on wedding day! Even though we had bartenders through the venue if the Metro staff saw my drink was almost empty they brought me another immediately! We had full faith in them & they exceeded our expectations! I will be dreaming about the herb roasted chicken and veggies and my husband hasn’t stopped talking about the bacon wrapped pork tenderloin in the last 24 hours!
We used metro for our wedding in August and they were amazing the whole way through. Kelley went above and beyond for us. She was so helpful and made our lives so much easier throu...
gh the whole process. The food was absolutely delicious. The service was amazing. They helped make our day perfect and we got so many compliments on the food! They also were really great with handling food allergens. 10/10 recommend Kelley and her crew!
Metro Cuisine Catering was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! From the very beginning, their team was professional, organized, and incredibly attentive t...
o every detail. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but Metro made the catering process feel effortless.
The food was absolutely phenomenal. Our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was! From the hors d’oeuvres to the main course, every dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. You can tell they truly care about quality and consistency.
Beyond the food, the service was impeccable. The staff was friendly, efficient, and made sure our entire event flowed smoothly. They worked seamlessly with our timeline and other vendors, making everything feel polished and stress-free. They also helped with decorating our center pieces, as well as tear down, ensuring the venue is cleaned.
Metro Cuisine not only met our expectations, they exceeded them in every way. If you’re looking for a caterer who delivers incredible food, professional service, and true peace of mind on your big day, we can’t recommend them enough!
Cynthia and everyone on the Metro Cuisine team helped make our wedding day extraordinary! First off, the food that Metro provided was beyond excellent: we received multiple complim...
ents on how fresh and tasty everything was. In addition, we had a blended Indian/Western wedding and Metro did a fantastic job of coordinating pass-through catering for some regional Indian dishes that had to come from a local Indian restaurant. From decor to service, they made everything about the day-of catering experience so easy. We would recommend them without reservation!
Metro Cuisine was a hit at our wedding! Overall, all of the food was FANTASTIC. We had the buffet-style mediterranean pasta bar for dinner with fresh fruit and the antipasto meat a...
nd cheese spread for cocktail hour appetizers. We received several compliments throughout the night on the quality of the food and friendliness of the catering staff! All of the servers were dressed professionally and engaged guests warmly. We had a head-waitress that waited on my husband and I primarily and she took great care of us throughout the night! I believe her name was Amy. The catering staff also had to help set up decor, as we needed to transform the same hall from ceremony seats to round-table reception space and all were super helpful in ensuring everything was just how we wanted it! We were required to use this catering company due to the policies of our venue and it honestly made things easier not having to search around for another company. The price was decent for full-service catering and was as-expected for wedding food for 85 people. The price includes all of the food, linens, china, disposables, flatware, staffing, cups and bar services needs. Thank you again Metro Cuisine for a job well done!
We hired Metro Cuisine to cater our wedding reception and can't say enough good things about them! We coordinated everything with Spencer and he was incredible to work with. He was...
super responsive and worked with us to make sure we got everything we wanted for our special day. The food was phenomenal and the service was equally as fantastic. I cannot recommend Metro enough!
Metro Cuisine was awesome! We chose them as our caterer for our wedding and they did a phenomenal job!
Andrea and the whole team at Metro did a great job from start to finish!
And...
rea helped answer all our questions and helped us craft our menu leading up to the wedding. They were accommodating with helping us make some modifications due to my allergies.
And day of the wedding, the whole staff was amazing! We had an outdoor setup and due to sudden rain, we had to quickly pivot inside. They were so helpful anytime we needed something. The food was absolutely delicious, we got a lot of complements from our guests too! I would highly recommend Metro!
Kelley from Metro was one of my favorite people to work with throughout the wedding planning process! I’m certain that Metro must be very proud of her and her team for pulling off ...
such a large event and I’m so thankful for her leadership. I truly felt taken care of and was able to relax and enjoy the day because I knew this team had us covered! People raved about the food (especially the garlic mashed potatoes) and were very complementary of the staff. Thank you to Metro and to Kelley for having such a positive impact on our special day!
Metro catered our April wedding and we were blown away at their level of service and the quality of food. Everything we ordered was delicious and we received many compliments from ...
our guests! Kelley was very professional and easy to work with leading up to the wedding. The staff on the day were so kind and made everything feel seamless. They even saved some appetizers for my husband and I because we missed cocktail hour for family photos! I would highly recommend Metro to cater your wedding!
Metro Cuisine is an AMAZING caterer! They served delicious food, cleaned up, cut the cake, easy to work with and provided all the linens and napkins for my wedding. I highly recomm...

We knew we wanted fun, tasty food for our wedding, and I’m so glad we went with Metro! We chose to have slider, mac and cheese, and taco stations and it was PERFECT! I am a vegetar...
ian and it was easy to pick options that worked for me. I’m also a huge mac and cheese fan and this mac was seriously delicious. The food was single handedly the thing our guests complimented the most. Highly recommend!
We had Metro Cuisine as our caterer for our wedding at the Scioto Audubon Center. Cynthia and also her colleague (I apologize I cannot remember her name) did a phenomenal job plan...
ning the catering: from a seamless set-up to tear down along with everything else in-between. Our venue at the time was BYO alcohol and we used their bartenders and mixers package for our open bar at the reception. The bartenders did great mixing drinks. Now the food... the appetizers were amazing! We did perogies, a mushroom/cheese tartlet, and a chicken croustade. We made our entire wedding reasonably affordable but opting to use their pasta bar buffet option. They had plenty of meats and veggies for different guests to choose along with sauces. All our guests were raving about the mushrooms and Italian sausage. The buffet was perfect and temp and the pasta held up very well without tasting overcooked or old. Furthermore, they were open to our family providing desserts and Cynthia enthusiastically planned a "cookie table" for our reception. Lastly we did a wedding cake from a separate vendor. Metro did a great job managing the cake once it was handed off to them. They also didn't charge us a cake cutting or a sperate fee for doing this. Overall Metro Cuisine, Cynthia, and her colleague made our wedding amazing. We had clear communication and invoicing. The rest catering team was efficient and friendly. We apricate all they did for our wedding night! Lastly, huge shout out to Cynthia for reaching out to us after the wedding letting us know that we left a card behind! We appreciate her getting that back to us!
Metro cuisine did a great job catering our wedding! We worked with Julia, had the short rib and brie stuffed chicken for our mains, and au gratin potatoes and green beans as a side...
. I think we chose things that would work well in a hot plate, and they did. Everyone commented on how good the food was. We shopped around a bit, and Metro had better food, and was cheaper, than anywhere else we tried. I do recommend.
We hired Metro for our wedding on 9/16/23 at Swan Lake in Powell, OH and they way exceeded our expectations! Kelley was our point of contact and she was awesome to work with! We ha...
d a lot of fun doing our menu tasting at Metro this summer. Kelley is really knowledgeable and helped us finalize our selections. She was very flexible and accommodated our custom requests. Kelley also joined our 90-day and 30-day venue meetings, which was greatly appreciated. We did a plated dinner service with chicken, short ribs, salmon and pasta as our options. We received overwhelmingly positive feedback from our guests on their dinners, which I feel like isn't common - usually wedding food is just meh and not memorable. My uncle said this was the first wedding meal he had that was actually served HOT, not just warm. We were very impressed with their service, especially because we had 134 people and Swan Lake doesn't have a kitchen on site. We didn't get to join cocktail hour since we were taking photos, so Metro set aside some of the appetizers and put them in our bridal suite for us, which we appreciated since we were starving! We also had a cookie table at the reception and Metro helped replenish it for us. They even boxed up the top tier of our wedding cake for us, so we can freeze it and eat it for our 1-year anniversary. A big THANK YOU to Kelley and team for being a part of our special day and making it memorable! I highly recommend Metro to any future brides looking for a catering service!
We went with Metro Cuisine for our wedding on 9/30/23 at FPC and we wouldn't have had it any other way. Julia was our point of contact throughout the whole process and holy crap, I...
cannot express enough how AMAZING she is. I was emailing her constantly with questions and changes and she would respond within minutes every single time. I think I had her quote me 10+ menu options and she did it so fast without any hesitation. What I specifically liked about Metro the most is that I had such a wide variety of foods offered during cocktail hour and dinner, but the price was just a small fraction of what other caterers were quoting me. For example, I originally wanted to book with Cameron Mitchell Catering. At CM, chicken or steak dinner with mashed potatoes and green beans, as well as meat/cheese and fruit tray for cocktail hour was over 15k dollars for 110 people. At Metro, we had chicken sliders, a nacho bar, Stromboli, fruit display, short ribs, bacon carving station, chicken, Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes and three different desserts for 12k dollars for 110 people. Our guests RAVED about how great our food was and everyone left with full bellies.
Metro Cuisine was a highlight of our wedding day! The service was prompt and the staff were so friendly. It seems small, but having the catering staff check on us during such a whi...
rlwind day was so appreciated. They even created a platter of the cocktail hour appetizers for us to eat during dinner since we were busy socializing. They also packed up the leftover desserts for us at the end of the night which was so appreciated. The desserts, along with the rest of the food, were delicious! Our guests especially loved the mini strawberry cheesecakes. We worked with Julia and Cne' who were both incredibly responsive, detail-oriented, and accommodating. We received quotes from other caterers in the area and found that Metro's prices were the most reasonable and upfront. We appreciated being able to look at their menu (which has SO many options!) and calculate the costs of different items to help us stay on budget. Thank you to Cne', Julia, and the Metro team for making our special day extra special!
Could not have asked for better food. Or service. We did the taco bar as our entree, and it was easily the best food we have ever had at a wedding. Our guests all said the same thi...

I truly could not have had a better experience with Metro Cuisine catering my wedding. First and foremost I have to mention Cne', who went above and beyond to make the typically st...
ressful experience of wedding planning as smooth and enjoyable as possible. Cne' was responsive, accommodating, patient, incredibly organized, and was such an overall joy to work with. The wedding dinner went seamlessly, and the team was very kind and organized, once again going above and beyond. As an example, right before my husband and I were about to walk out for our grand entrance, one of the staff members kindly pointed out that the bustling of my dress was bunched up and help to quickly fix it. The staff checked in with us throughout the night and worked efficiently to serve a plated dinner to 150 guests. We have received countless compliments on the delicious food and found the company to be very fairly priced. I can't recommend them enough.
We are so happy we had Metro Cuisine cater our wedding! Julia was incredible through the entire process, from initial contact all the way to the day of. She dealt with my many, man...
y questions and some unexpected budget and guest count changes with grace and complete professionalism, and I truly felt comfortable reaching out to her every time. The food itself was so delicious, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure our day not only seamless, but enjoyable! We were provided with plates of the passed appetizers we may not have gotten around to during cocktail hour, and they made sure to release us to the buffet first so we could eat (we didn't even consider that this would happen, and it was a welcome surprise!). I am so grateful to Julia and the entire Metro team for making our wedding wonderful. Thank you!

0 people consisting of sliders with toppings, Mac n Cheese, Potato wedges/Sweet Potato Fries and grilled vegetables. Our guests RAVED about the food, especially the Mac n Cheese. But everything was absolutely delicious and I was overjoyed to give our guests a delicious meal. Metro was able to provide gluten free, vegetarian and soy free options. The grilled veggies were cooked perfectly and the variety was perfect. I have recommended them to several people and will definitely use them again for future events.

I highly recommend!

questions quickly. They are more than catering! The food was delicious and there are so many options to create your menu. However, I was so impressed with the staff on our wedding day. They went above and beyond to create the most beautiful wedding reception. I had extra greenery from our flowers and they used it to decorate in ways I wouldn't have even thought to use it! The service was great and they just go with the flow of your wedding. Andrea was such a calming presence which is so necessary on your wedding day and leading up to it. Cannot thank Metro enough and would recommend them to anyone!

specially true when we had to postpone our 2020 wedding until 2021. The food was great, although we did pay for an additional tasting of the exact food we would be serving which was very helpful. Metro really went above and beyond - without asking when we ran out of pre-ceremony drinks, they noticed and made sure the bridal party/ VIPs had drinks (including pitchers of water!) before the ceremony and even providing a plate of appetizers for us to eat right after the ceremony since we did not join our guests for cocktail hour. Metro's entire staff was wonderful and we had a great time!

e dinner we chose to have salad and rolls on the table so people could eat something while waiting to go through the buffet line and everything was hot and fresh! We also did mini cheeseburgers and veggie burgers later in the evening as a "late night bite". They also made sure to put a plate of the cocktail hour food at our table for my husband and I because we were taking photos during that time, we went with the big charcuterie meat and cheese style platter. We were a postponement wedding so there was a lot of communication due to rescheduling but Emily walked us through everything and was so reassuring the entire time! Also, there was a little bit left over and you get to take that home - let me tell you, you will not want to cook the week after your wedding and eating these leftovers was AMAZING! Highly recommend!
Andrea and the rest of the Metro Cuisine staff were super friendly and helpful. I especially appreciated that they were willing to help set up our decorations the morning of the ce...

creativity of the food was 5 star restaurant worthy, the price was very reasonable. Everyone continued to rave over the food for days! We also had Metro Cuisine cater a day-after-the-wedding brunch, and they brought the same level of excellence, both in food and service.
Talk about going above and beyond! I would have totally forgotten the pre-meal toast if Metro Cuisine hadn’t reminded me! Their attention to every detail surpassed my highest expectations. Each server was polite, professional, friendly, and exceptionally helpful. Metro Cuisine is THE caterer you want for any event!
