Moreno’s was amazing!!!
From communication, to the tasting, to the wedding, everything was smooth and handled so professionally.
I had so many guests tell me that this was one ...
of the best wedding dinners they’ve ever had!! They also did our bar services, and were very professional and accommodating to us for our signature drinks.
We did American appetizers and Mexican bar for dinner. It was all very delicious.
10/10 would recommend!!

Their team handled everything seamlessly, allowing us to enjoy our big day without a single worry. Service was timely, polite, and efficient.
If you're looking for a caterer that delivers exceptional food with flawless service, Moreno’s is it. They helped make our reception unforgettable, and we couldn't be more grateful. 10/10 would recommend them to any couple planning their wedding!

We used Chef Moreno for our wedding for our Mexican buffet, cupcakes, and bar services! Nothing but very positive things to say about all of the above! To start Chef Moreno himself...
came out to greet us and even sit down with us at our food tastings. He also offered us to come back a second time to taste test food and made us feel very welcome both times we came! He explained everything in great detail each time we had a question. He even expressed that even if it was the middle of the night and a question came to mind, to message him and he'd get right back to us. He made us feel very secured in choosing to use him for 3 services at our wedding. We highly recommend using him for multiple services on your big day as it makes for an easier coordination instead of having to check in with multiple vendors on and before while preparing for your big day. Chef Moreno never had an extended wait time for the buffet and never had a line at our bar either! Food was amazing and we had many guests complimenting how great the food and cupcakes were. We had plenty of food to go around for probably an additional 25 people even after the wedding was done! Thank you for amazing services Chef Moreno!

tail hour! Everything was reasonably priced, the only thing I thought was a bit high was the under 21 drinks but in the end was worth the extra they did. They helped clear tables including my chargers while everyone was on the dance floor which was a huge help for us! They were willing to set up exactly as requested and it all went very smooth!

they managed to keep the food served hot. The food was excellent and we had them do our bar as well. There was never a long line, they managed to serve quickly and professionally. We had so many compliments after our wedding. We did not eat much the day of, but the leftovers are just as amazing. If you are looking for a vendor, look no further. Morenos is so easy to work with, personal to be around, and very organized! They cleaned up afterwards and made our day so easy. We had no issues whatsoever and we would hire him again in a heartbeat! Thanks for helping us making our day special!

they arrived and started to set up. Chef Moreno was funny and very personable. He seemed to have a lot of knowledge of catering. The only reason for the four stars instead of five is because the green bean casserole was different at our wedding than when we tried it during our taste testing.

If you want a professional, responsive, competent and efficient company to cater your event then Moreno's is the company to use. We hired them to cater our daughter and son-in-laws...
outdoor wedding this weekend and we could not have asked for better service. All staff were polite and courteous to guests, Angel (I think owner and manager) and his staff provided and managed both the food and bar service with great expertise and skill. Having the food and bar service catered together is the best way to go, it really is a one stop shop for event needs. I would have no hesitation in recommending Moreno's to others, they went above our expectations and provided a fabulous service.

Host your event at Moreno’s! Wow - I can’t even describe how amazing Moreno’s was for our wedding. They are the friendliest people and work with you based on your needs and desires...
. The food was amazing and if you need an outside caterer I recommend hiring them too! Our day went very smooth and I have Moreno’s team to thank for that. Chef Moreno and Victor were there for us and any time we had a question prior to the big day they answered it in a timely manner. They let us set up days prior which took the stress off of us. They were more than just a venue - they cared for how our wedding went. They felt like friends/family and we were not “just another wedding” to them. Everything was exactly as planned and they were very reasonably priced. I was extremely happy with our decision to go with Moreno’s and if I were to do it all over again I would not change a thing! Hire these guys to make your wedding amazing! Whether you host it there or just bring them in as a caterer, you will NOT regret it. We loved working with them and will be coming back to the restaurant soon!

wedding cake, desserts, late night snacks and a full bar—complete with a wedding sangria that guests are still asking me to get the recipe from the owner. If you are looking for a caterer, baker and full bar service, Moreno’s Catering in Carey, Ohio is one stop wedding shopping at its best.

I cannot be happier with the services he provided for us. He was able to not only cater for us but was about to use his hall. Also had our wedding there in the outside area. With t...
he hall he did alot of improvements from the first time he showed us. Which is was he said he wanted to do and wants to continue to do. We had over 450 people at the wedding and it went seamless. He was able to take care of everything for us, which is what we wanted. The less we had to stress about the better. Using his hall, we didn’t have to worry about trash, cleaning tables, moving tables, or even clean up. All we had to do was get the decorations out by Sunday. His menu has alot to offer we decided to have beef tips and chicken in mushroom sauce for the main course. They provided appetizers, salad, desert, along with other sides. The food was simply amazing chicken just fell apart and the beef tips were perfect. Besides providing food he also catered the drinks, we were about to pick multiple beers, mixed drinks, and wines. This made it nice to cater to multiple guests. Also had coffee and other non-acholic drinks. My wife and I couldn’t be happier with the services he provided along with the professionalism. Thank you again
