I love Naiman's!!! I am usually very hesitant about catered food and wanted to make sure we chose the right company when we were planning our wedding. I am so glad that we chose Na...
iman's!! When we started to plan our wedding it was March 2021 and COVID was still impacting how businesses were operating. Les Naiman came to my parents house and served my family all of his food options, answered all of our questions and worked with me to get exactly what I wanted. Additionally, he helped to set up our tablescapes, bussed our tables, helped serve our cake and were our bartenders for an extremely reasonable cost. On top of all of that, his food was absolutely AMAZING. Our guests are still raving about this 2 months later :)
Les and his crew were absolutely amazing! The appetizers and dinner was top notch. All good was served warm and there was plenty to go around! Not your typical wedding food for sur...

Naiman’s catering is the best catering service in the world! Les and his staff prepared amazing tasting food for our daughters wedding on Saturday. Everything was displayed beautif...
ully and the all the staff were so professional and friendly. As a retired caterer myself I know what to expect and Naiman’s went above and beyond! I wish I could give hm 10 Stars!!!
Naiman’s Catering was one of the top vendors I first booked for our wedding. They delivered! Above and Beyond! The food tasting was our first impression and we ended the appointmen...
t full and very well satisfied! Seriously, any of their food was delicious and well flavored. My family still mention how great all of the food tasted, which was a high regard because my family are really big “foodies.” I had made some last minute additions of tablecloths, utensils, etc for the wedding day and Naiman’s was very flexible and accommodating. Jennifer was our supervisor day of the wedding and she was so sweet and efficient. They even took the extra time to make sure the appetizers were brought out to the wedding party after the ceremony so we did not miss out. It was the smallest things that made us feel so well taken care of. Thank you to all of Naiman’s staff, it truly contributed to a wonderful outcome of our big day!
Naiman's Catering is hands down the best catering service ever. Les went above and beyond for our big day-came to our house during COVID to do a tasting. He was so accommodating an...
d even made sure the bride and groom had a separate appetizer tray saved. We had so much food left over it was wonderful; his staff is incredible and we already booked him for another event. Everyone is still talking about how wonderful our food was.
Les and his team catered our 125 person wedding last weekend and we were thrilled with their service, taste, and pricing! From the start Les aims to please and he personalized our...
entire experience. He followed up regularly, always answered our questions, provided great discounts, and had a super friendly staff who went above and beyond the night of our wedding! We will keep Naiman's in mind for sure for future catering needs!
Incredibly delicious food! Les was great from the start with bringing the tasting to our home all the way to making changes up until the week of our wedding as I asked for them. Hi...

This is the number #1 Caterer in Louisville area. Our daughter was married over the Memorial Day 2021 weekend and everything was great. We met Les during a bridal show the year b...
efore. We explained we were looking for a caterer to cater a Jewish Wedding and he was that person!! Not only did he spend time explaining the many options, he came to our daughter's home and provided a taste test and walked through our menu. Our menu consisted of cocktail hour, dinner with brisket (the best!!!!), salmon, chicken and the famous pasta!!. Whatever you do get the pasta!!. Les also made sure that my daughter had his special green beans just for her! The staff and servers were amazing!. We also used his bartenders for the event. Everyone was supper nice, friendly, took care of everyone. The little one's kept sneaking to the bar for a cup of cherries that the bartenders had for them. At the end of the night, everything was cleaned up beautifully and the staff had a take home dinner for the bride and groom. If I ever have another event, I will contact them!! They were amazing. I can't say enough about this team.
Les has lots of quirks, but the food was amazing and so was his customer service. I wanted one side that we ended up deciding against, but he remembered and surprised me with it at...

e are so glad we hired them. We had to change the wedding date 3 times, change our party size 3 times and changed our menu all because of COVID. Les was able to accommodate all of our changes. Along with the service, the FOOD WAS AMAZING!!! All of our guests loved it! Would definitely hire again.
Les Naiman and his crew were absolutely fantastic. We were pleased with everything they prepared, the table set up and the servers were delightful. I highly suggest Naiman's Cateri...

Naiman's is the absolute best. From the tasting at home, to the phone calls to sort everything out, to the final product, they could not have been more helpful. Every one of their ...
employees checked on my husband and I to see if they could get us anything, offered drinks, and even brought us appetizers while we were relaxing during cocktail hour. The food was amazing and my guests still compliment it months later. Highly recommend!
I can't begin to express how pleased we were with Naiman's. This is the second time we've used them and everything was PERFECT. The food is excellent, the services is even better a...
nd the price for everything is wonderful. No other caterers we spoke to came close to offering what Les Naiman did for the price. If you are planning an event and want to impress your guests with delicious food and excellent service, this is who you should call. Five stars are not enough, he's more like ten stars.
Les makes big promises on the quality of his food and staff and he didn't lie! I had so many of my guests at my daughter's wedding approach me asking who catered and that is was so...

r was lost during the cake cutting/serving. However, the food was delicious and service was great. We had a pasta buffet with different options for our guests. Everyone we talked to said the food was great and they loved the idea of a pasta bar. Everything was smooth and our day was perfect. Thank you Les and team!
Naiman's catering was amazing! Les was so easy to work with. He is truly amazing at what he does. Not only does he let you taste test, but he brings it to you in the comfort of you...
r home. His staff is amazing as well they made sure we had everything we wanted and needed that night. The food was amazing and we received so many compliments on it. I am super happy we chose such an amazing caterer.
Mr. Naiman and his team were absolutely amazing throughout our entire experience. We had met with Mr. Naiman and what kind of food we liked, or what we were planning on serving our...
guests- then came out to our house with HUGE serving pans of food for us to try. I am not exaggerating when I tell you that everything, we tried was fantastic and we knew right then that’s who we wanted to go with. On top of the food being amazing, the service the day of the wedding was impeccable. The Naiman’s team was so incredibly professional and did such a great job setting up the food, making sure tehre was enough out, cleaning up tables as people got finished, and a nice little touch was at the end of dinner- they packed up my husband and I to-go plates because they knew we wouldn’t be able to really eat at the wedding. I cannot speak high enough about this company and next time we need catering for an event- it will be a no brainer to use Naiman’s again. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing catering for an event!
Les and his crew did a fantastic job at our recent 275 person wedding. He is fun, quirky, and old-school, but very professional, fair, and a heck of a cook! Everything tasted great...
and we'd definitely use him again.
Les was wonderful. His staff is highly professional and friendly. The food was fantastic. I had so many guests telling me that it was one of the best receptions they had been to in...
a long time. The bartenders were great and when my cake person was unable to stay and cut the cake, the team leader from Naiman's took on the task and was wonderful. I can't thank Les and his team enough for making my daughter's wedding day so memorable!
We couldn't be happier with our experience using Naiman's. Every bite, from the tasting to the reception, was exceptional. Les and his staff were wonderful, providing outstanding...
service and attention to detail. I look forward to the opportunity to eat their food again very soon!
All I can say is WOW!!! I could not be more happy. The staff was great in communicating prior to and on the day of my daughter's wedding. Very prompt! Arrived on time and when the ...
event was over you could not even tell we had a reception...the place was clean as a whistle. We had 185 people at our reception. Every guest I spoke with had nothing but praise. Appetizers were served while we finished up pictures at the Church and waited for the bride and groom to arrive. And they were phenomenal! The main meal was spectacular! The staff was on top of their game, always watching to keep pans full so guest were not waiting for food. The bartenders were awesome as well. Never had a line waiting for drinks. They even remembered what guest were having and as the guest approached the bar, they would already be preparing their drink.
Les said he would make my daughter's wedding reception a success and that he did!
No need to look anywhere else for a caterer than Naimon's, if you do, you're missing the boat. I have one more daughter to be married and I know Naimon's will be the caterer!
These guys were awesome! Professional from start to finish. All of my calls or emails were promptly returned, the food was fantastic and nothing but rave reviews all around. Th...

nal commitment to excellence and they all ensure you have a successful experience.
Our event was a wedding of 120 folks and it could not have been better. I have another daughter and we will engage Les again if she decides to get married here in Louisville. Top notch in every way.

My experience with Naiman's Catering was incredible. From the start, Les was willing to work with me as an out-of-town bride. He invited us for a tasting outside of our own home, w...
here he usually does them. His food was amazing. He was willing to work with us to provide everything we were looking for for our wedding day - plated salads, soda, bar service (they even placed garnishes we brought), china, and cake cutting. Make sure you know what you need to provide, because about two weeks before the wedding, I found out I needed to provide the cups, napkins, and pourers for the liquor bottles. I can't even tell you how many compliments I got on how delicious the food was. I would highly recommend Naiman's for wedding catering - it is high quality for very reasonable price!
As someone who works in the wedding industry, I had high expectations for my own wedding which Naiman’s catering absolutely exceeded. I have received so many compliments about the...
food served and I am so happy that I chose to go with Les at Naiman’s catering. He was super helpful and answered all my questions with both in-home tastings and on-site meetings. I highly recommend Naiman’s catering for any event needs you have!
Naiman's was AMAZING! We got a lot of compliments on the food, especially the bowtie pasta, and there was plenty of it. Leftovers for days! The staff were very nice, professiona...
l, and accommodating. The team supervisor that day helped me set up a couple of the centerpieces and light the candles, as well as corral the guests from one space to the other, and did it cheerfully. I heard good things about the bartender from our guests too.
No complaints - great food, great stuff, great value. I'd recommend these guys to anyone, and if I ever again have such a occasion I need catered again would come to them first.
So many good things to say about this vendor. Five stars all the way. They catered our wedding of 200 guests. The food was delicious, the staff were friendly, Mr. Naiman was willin...

Naiman's did an outstanding job at our son's recent wedding reception! Being the parents of the groom, we were not involved in the reception planning at all, and so we just had to...
trust the bride's parents in this regard. It's safe to say we were definitely blown away by the quality and the quantity of the food provided. Everything was well presented and tasted absolutely delicious! We had guest after guest complimenting the food and raving about their favorite dish all throughout the evening. Several folks, even in the days following, would mention how much they enjoyed their meal at the reception. Everything was top notch, and we couldn't have been more pleased! Thank you for helping to make this special day in our lives perfect! ~ Becky W
The food was outstanding and the service spectacular.
Many of our 250+ guests stopped us to compliment us on the food. All were pleased and none were disappointed. Call Naiman's ...

er's wedding. The food was so delicious, hot and plentiful. I cannot say enough good things about the food or the staff. Our guests went on and on about how wonderful the food was. Also Les's prices were much better than any other caterer we priced. I pray Les doesn't retire before my other two daughters get married. It was definitely one of the best experiences in the wedding planning for us. God bless you Les and staff.

samples to your home for you to try. The food and service at the wedding were incredible and we received many compliments on the passed h'ors d'oeuvres during cocktail hour, the buffet, and the carving station. Les was willing to work with us on any changes we wanted to make to the menu and head count up until a couple of days before the wedding. Will definitely recommend his services for any event!

Naiman's Catering was great! Les came to our house for us to try food (the chicken salad sandwich is Awesome by the way). He was helpful throughout the whole planning process.

staff was Excellent throughout the whole wedding! They brought us our drinks, extra food, whatever we needed. They even went out and collected plates from tables which I wasn't expecting.
We also had a couple of bartenders and they were amazing! So polite and helpful. All of the staff were great, the food was Amazing!
I would recommend Naiman's Catering to anyone who wants a good priced caterer, friendly staff and wonderful food.
The Naiman Catering team is awesome! Go straight to Naiman, everyone knows him and recommends him, everyone in Louisville loves working with him. He will meet with you and bring ...
food, hes very flexible and easy to work with. Know your budget before you meet and he will work with you to get the most for your money. His team was amazing, they did things that they didn't have to but wanted to because they care. Like waiting on the couple, whatever we wanted they grabbed. They were incredible.

aff, everything went so smoothly!
great food, decent price, great service. i would definitely recommend this vendor to anyone. Plus - he comes to your house and makes you and your family food to taste test!
Les was so great from the moment we met, all the way through until after the wedding. I first emailed him, and found out he would be at a wedding show that weekend, so my husband, ...
then fiancé, went to taste his food. We met with one of his employees at the table, and she took us to meet Les. Once she said my name, he replied with my wedding date and venue, which I thought was impressive. He helped us figure out what we needed to stock our own bar, and his staff even helped set out the appetizers that we brought in ourselves, it was nothing something any of them had to do, but they went above and way beyond to make everything run smooth.
