Middle of the Island Catering Company

ly will not be disappointed!

d happy to accommodate the new date. I can't thank the staff enough for all their hard work! I am still craving more of the strawberry salad.

us. They are affordable, easy to work with, and go above and beyond to make sure everything goes well. I was shocked by how fast all of my guests had food. And they packed up all of our leftovers at the end of the night as well as a midnight snack for us when we got home. You can't go wrong with this company. Highly recommend!

casserole were our favorite things! Everything else was delicious, too!

eally what impressed us. All the staff was extremely polite and made sure that everyone was well taken care of. I don't know if they did this for all guests, but I know they made sure the bridal party and their parents had a drink in their hand (if they wanted it), which we appreciated it! They brought me and my husband our food right to the head table and checked on us regularly. Would totally recommend and use again!

guests. we couldn't have asked for better service or food! the hardest part was figuring out which of their amazing foods to limit ourselves to!

of food to go and boy did she deliver. The food was so delicious that my husband and I took it to the airport with us when we left for Iceland. People were jealous. Definitely way better than any other caterer I've had in Wilmington and for half the price. Thanks CM, it was amazing!

to all my emails and phone calls. The day of the wedding they made my husband and I feel like royalty, the wait staff and bartenders were SO friendly and great at what they do. And the food was SO good!! Zero complaints, very impressed, I highly recommend.

glass/opening their drink of choice. Also, they work well with the other vendors (which is just nice to know if you're into teamwork).

MOI. This was very convenient for us. I highly recommend using them for your wedding or other catering needs. :)

hat could not walk to the Buffett. You all were a pleasure to work with. The balsamic chicken, squash casserole, and strawberry spinach salad were my favorites.

ble staff and a great level of professionalism! Thank you MOI!

y provided appetizers during our cocktail hour and a wonderful taco bar that was enjoyed by all! They also gave me and my husband a take away meal as we made our getaway from the reception. The bartenders took care of our guests as we danced the night away and they allowed us to bring in our own alcohol while it was served by MOI staff. This is the cater you want at your event or wedding!!

ble and professional. We will definitely do business with them again!

he Shrimp and Grits for our cocktail hour. All my guests were raving about the food and the service during the reception was incredible and very professional! Thank you so much MOI Catering!

ware, etc.) and even served the wedding cake. Our guests are still talking about how yummy the food was. I highly recommend MOI, they are worth every penny!

leasant and helpful all evening. They served all of my grandparents who were unable to walk through the buffet lines themselves. They even made a comment on how sweet the speeches were and how happy they were for us! Great prices, great food, and great staff!

or our event and even still, no dry wedding chicken! Leading up to the event, CM was the easiest, most calm person to work with. No matter when I called or emailed he was always quick to respond with such a positive attitude! Always ending the call saying to call him for any questions, thoughts or concerns. Most vendors say this, but he was serious and genuine making the whole process seamless. We didnt even have to worry about our guest count or final menu till about a week before the wedding! The staff on the day of were just as wonderful as CM. We had a sweetheart table and were continually checked on by a staff member to make sure we were enjoying ourselves and taken care of. Guests continually told us they were well taken care of and all staff members were beyond friendly! They even stepped in and served our cake and provided plates as well as silverware when we hadnt even talked to them about it! They just came prepared and eager to do whatever necessary to make sure there was not a worry in the world for us or our families during the reception! From food to service, everything was absolutely perfect!

is leftover squash casserole in my freezer! :) I would highly recommend working with them!

rib, or the creamed corn! So good! The staff was so awesome and made sure we were completely taken care of the entire time! We had several compliments on the food and service. We can’t thank MOI enough for catering to us and our guests – they helped create our most favorite day!

exactly the food we wanted and made sure to provide gluten free options for specific quests upon request. We do not have a single regret choosing Middle of the Island Catering... and my mom keeps saying she needs to make sure she has the Balsamic Chicken again at some point (so good)!!

delicious catered meal to book with MOI!

o be different so it wouldn't seem like a repeat on Sat...both evenings turned out to be so distinctive and amazingly delicious....fried chicken and BBQ sliders for the informal Friday night event....because the bride is vegetarian, we also had 2 different salads, beans and rice, cheese grits and a mashed potato bar....everyone thought it could not be improved upon, but Sat. night the offerings were even better with prime rib, marinated chicken, 2 different salads, penne with roasted veggies, roasted potatoes, sweet potatoes and squash casserole. Weeks later, friends are still raving about the food and the quality of service. Amy was the team captain, and she ensured that everything went smoothly. She has an amazing smile and she worked so hard to coordinate with the event person and the dj. The bride and groom wanted a few minutes prior to the reception to just sit quietly and have something to eat before being announced as husband and wife. Amy and her staff prepared individual plates for each of them and delivered them even before the rest of the food was set out. What a personal touch that was. The prices were very reasonable, and I can't imagine any other caterer providing the service and the quality that we experienced. From set up to clean up, it all was grand.

ls and answers questions in a timely manner. For the slightly OCD/perfectionist bride who has lists and contracts printed out for everything, you might be a little put off by his method, but he pulls through with no letdown. No contract, he basically gives you his word, doesn't need menu choice or headcount until one week out, no deposit needed, pay day-of. The food was absolutely delicious, and all of our guests raved about it. I didn't hear a single complaint. They even packed up the leftovers into to-go boxes without us even asking. Needless to say we got to enjoy the food for a few more days. Highly recommend!

g before the wedding. We had heard so many good things we weren't worried. CM was so easy to work with and so accommodating to the custom menu we wanted! Everything was SO good and the guests raved about the food. We had fried chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits, fish and chips, salads, shrimp cocktail, oysters, sliders, bacon wrapped scallops, and lots of other little appetizers. The staff working the wedding was so friendly and efficient and I never saw them stop running around. They also magically appeared everywhere the groom and I were to make sure we had food and didn't need anything. They set aside a lot of food for us and packed leftovers too. One waitress even ran out to the trolley to make sure we had our Chicago style hot dogs to go!!! Would 100% recommend!! THANK YOU!!! :)

feeding our guests. MOI has an outstanding menu, and the food surely did not disappoint!

olutely amazing (as it had been at our tasting), and that has been one of the most common comments we've had on the wedding -- which was music to our ears! They are also very reasonably priced, and are an amazing value for all the services they provide! We worried about nothing the entire time, and the service staff kept everything cleaned and hidden away -- perfect experience! Highly recommended for any event!!

ed!

unication. And, I can't elaborate enough on how awesome the food was, if Middle of the Island was a restaurant, I would eat there often! I highly recommend this caterer!

for it! I was not disappointed. The owner is very relaxed, which is nice when you are trying to avoid getting too stressed during the planning process. Day of wedding went smoothly, and the company knew what to do to get everything in order as they had so much experience, even in the venue we had rented. We paid for two bartenders from them as well, and provided our own beer and wine. It worked out perfectly. My only concern was that the leftover food was left on the counter overnight instead of being put in the large refrigerator in the kitchen, much to my dismay. I was SO excited for leftover the week after the wedding because the food was so good. That is partially my parents fault, however, for leaving the building without doing a walkthrough (we had the venue all weekend, so cleanup was saved for the next day). The price for our buffet style dinner was $15 per person, plus fees for waiters, bartenders, travel (wilmington to topsail), etc.

re very polite and helpful during our reception. They neatly boxed up any leftover food and sent it home with us. I highly recommend them for any of your catering needs.

The owner, CM, is wonderful to work with and very easy to talk to. His staff is amazing and helped out our wedding planner the entire night. You will not go wrong!

not disappoint! Everyone raved about the food! The best part was that the food was such a great price! Try the marinated chicken!

ab dip was phenomenal! I couldn't have found a better caterer for good southern seafood and comfort food.

baked beans, spinach/strawberry salad, mashed potatoes, and peach cobbler). All of the food was delicious! Our guests were very complimentary. The staff was very courteous and professional and did everything possible to take care of us. My only suggestion, is to be ready for a "laid back" experience. C.M. the owner is excellent at what he does, but don't expect a contract or to even set your menu till the week before!

work with and is very flexible with anything you need. They are by for the most inexpensive caterer with the best food around. I would recommend them a thousand times over if I could. We managed to grab some "to-go" boxes for any guests that wanted to take anything home. The servers were so awesome making these! They separated the seafood from everything else just in case there were allergies. I love MOI and everything that they stand for. HIGHLY recommended! You will not be disappointed!

had the southern buffet of pork loin and jerk chicken with 6 sides for $12 a person!! Middle of the Island is the way to go and our reception couldn't have been more perfect because of them.

nt about the cost, and there were no hidden expenses to find out about later. The value was unbeatable- the pricing was very competitive and included everything we needed. The staff did a wonderful job assembling our dinner at the venue, and the food was phenomenal! We got compliments on it all night. One of the staff members made sure to let us know that our leftovers had been packaged at the end of the night. The whole experience was wonderful!

hey travel?” They were the hit. When we did our original tasting with CM, he brought out trays of food for us to try and we knew what we wanted. He was super flexible, easy to work with, and didn’t hunt you down like some of the other vendors I’ve worked with. In fact, 3 days before, I called him and asked him if we could do a Mojito Bar, and he was all for it! What a great company and what GREAT FOOD!

ound great experience with MOI. I would highly recommend them.

.

guests raved about how good it was, and more than one said the fried chicken was the best ever!

y affordable! I would absolutely recommend them!

e includes 3 meats, 6 sides, tea,water, rolls or biscuits.

was more casual. Everything tasted great! Price was also great! They arrived just before guests and were setup and gone before anyone arrived but the food was still hot when it was time to eat.
