Orlando's Catering

sts with dietary restrictions.

working with our catering coordinator, Scott. They communicated with each other very well & there were no surprises nor any detail missed on our wedding day. We chose to do a buffet with butler passed Hors D'oeuvres during our cocktail hour. We received multiple compliments from our guests on how good the food was. Our guests especially liked the Italian Bistro Steaks, Chicken Cacciatore, and Cavatelli Broccoli. Orlando's pricing was very reasonable and transparent. Most importantly, Scott, our catering coordinator, was incredible. He was always quick to respond to my emails, answered all of my questions, and was flexible in helping us create our menu. He was easy to work with & made me feel assured that everything would be taken care of as planned. At dinner during our reception, Scott checked in on my wife & me multiple times, and even with some of our guests, to ask if we needed anything. In short, Orlando's was an excellent choice. Their planning & assistance was excellent, and I highly recommend them if you want a buffet for your wedding.

ng Orlando’s (especially Scott!) took incredible care of us and treated us like family. Delicious food, beautiful venue and fantastic service. We’re still getting compliments from our friends and family!

ere just fine. The main dish looked and tasted nothing like the one we sampled other than being chicken. On top of that it was COLD. Lukewarm at best. This being said, it was cooked through--I believe they cooked it earlier someplace else and just did keep it warm or leave enough time to reheat it at the venue? I ended up only having a few bites and having green beans and the pasta side for my main meal (pasta was great, green beans were green beans). I didn't take pictures of the food at the tasting to show how it was different and honestly we were just so happy to have gotten married and have had the big stuff go well overall we didn't want to fight for a partial refund or deal with the catering after with so much going on. No one got sick, so we joke about it now. Ours was the wedding with cold, bad chicken. Of note it was a wedding with less than 60 guests, so not that much food to make/transport/serve for a company that routinely does larger events and weddings. Maybe we were not a big priority since it was a smaller wedding and we did not go out of our way to pick them since they were the exclusive venue caterer?

the food was amazing! We got so many compliments on all of the dishes and the professionalism of the staff. Dan was very thoughtful and checked on us regularly and made sure we were taken care of. When it came time to clean the venue the entire Orlando's staff was efficient and thorough. They really made our day extra special.

f him. During the wedding day, Scott ran his team seemlessly during our chillier outdoor wedding at the World's Fair Pavilion, and everyone enjoyed the Simply Elegance buffet package. It was a wonderful wedding all around, from champagne toast, to late night snack!

for your HUGE part in our wedding day!

dn't recommend them more--thank you so much to the Orlando's team for a perfect job!

us. Working with Sam Orlando was a great experience. He is kind, understanding and patient. I would definitely work with this fabulous company again.

with Orlando's again this 2021 season and this past weekend at the MOHIST Museum. Sam and his crew were wonderful. Sam is professional, calm and eager to do whatever it takes to pull together a beautiful night for our couples. Looking forward to many more seasons partnering with this catering company!

From the very first email to the very last table cleaned up after the reception, Orlando’s was outstandingly responsive, punctual, helpful, professional, friendly, organized, and delivered exactly what was promised (or exceeded expectations!). This was especially impressive because I sent many emails throughout the planning process with lots of questions:). In some ways, it felt like Orlando’s was too good to be true! We can’t speak highly enough about working with Orlando’s Catering/Scott Orlando, and if it was possible to give them more 5 stars, we’d absolutely do it! Further, many guests at our wedding told us how delicious the food was. Scott Orlando/Orlando’s catering were an absolute delight to work with and, without a single reservation, I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone. A heartfelt THANK YOU to Orlando’s Catering for making our wedding day better than we even imaged it to be! Anna + Chris, 9/5/2021

nt, and we were so glad we did! The Orlando's team made it very easy and always made us feel special, like we were the only event they were working on. We will always recommend Orlando's for any event! Thank you! Peggy Simpson

rocess, Orlando's was right there with us with compassion, love, and understanding. They bent their own rules by doing away with their standard minimum guest count, still honored the per person price, gave us a partial refund and credit towards goods and services for the big day. This was totally above and beyond what we would have expected for any business in an industry hit extremely hard by the pandemic, they took the loss in fairness to us and that right there tells you the integrity of the business in extremely tough times. If that was how the story ended, that would be enough to give a 5 star review. But the wedding weekend absolutely blew us away and far exceeded our expectations. We booked out the majority of the rooms at the Lodge at Grant's Trail (owned by Orlando's), hosted our rehearsal dinner at the lodge, and had our reception at Orlando's. I would recommend this trifecta for any couple looking for a great place to host the wedding weekend. The lodge is a perfect Airbnb feel, with the privacy and convenience of a hotel room (having private bathrooms is nice). We had the entire lodge to ourselves that weekend which allowed us to have a central location for all of our family and friends to hang out before and after the official start times of our weekend events. The Mary Lincoln and Abe Lincoln room were perfect for bride/groom separated sleeping the night before and big suite on wedding night. The included breakfast is cooked to order and served as if you were at a restaurant. The venue space worked perfectly for a rehearsal dinner and allowed everyone to safely walk to their rooms after the party instead of having to drive. The lodge is a MUST add-on to the wedding weekend when booking at Orlando's. Did I mention it's walking distance to Orlando's event center?? Huge plus. Our reception was at Orlando's event center and it was everything we had hoped for and more. First of all, the room itself was beautifully decorated and was the perfect amount of space. They have three separate rooms in the event center, separated by air walls, which to be honest was a big concern for me going into it. I thought you might be able to hear everything going on the next room over, but never heard anything from the other rooms the whole night. The prices are a great value compared to everywhere else we looked (and we looked at a lot of places). Finally and most importantly, the staff there was incredible and put the icing on the cake of a perfect weekend. We ended up having Sam Orlando Jr. as our wedding coordinator and his customer service was EXCELLENT. Always willing to work with us and always went above and beyond to make us feel special and to ensure we had the most perfect weekend. From the top down, everyone on the staff was personable, friendly, attentive, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure we felt special. Carol was a crowd favorite and Timmie the bartender even sent us a handwritten note after we got home from our honeymoon. The staff and the service are the reasons we will be returning to Orlando's for future gatherings and parties and why we would recommend anyone to book with Orlando's for their wedding weekend.

, and the food was DELICIOUS! People are still raving about the steak. We had a great time at Orlando’s and hope to be guests there again some day!

s, scheduled a delicious tasting, and were incredibly helpful throughout the challenging process of planning a wedding during COVID. Although we ultimately did not have the opportunity to employ their services, I would not hesitate to reach out to Orlando's for your wedding catering needs. HIGHLY recommended.

ook forward to working with Orlando's Catering again soon.

things he'd ever eaten. The steak really did live up to Scott's words! All of the food was wonderful and I had many people tell me how delicious everything was – I'm honestly still thinking about the mac & cheese and my husband hasn't stopped talking about the steaks!

reception. She is confident, kind, and understanding. It's hard as a bride to just turn things over to someone else- but if you're working with Denise and Orlando's- you can be confident that it will go smoothly. She was very patient with me- as I pushed my final vegetarian decision to the last minute- but ended up with the best meal ever (which was also my meal!) Denise's warm personality made it an absolute delight to work with her and her team!

ke our very own personal “day of coordinator” who helped everything go as smoothly & perfectly as possible at the reception & we couldn’t be more thankful! She really went above & beyond making sure everything we requested was done (especially getting our late night snack there)!! The food was absolutely delicious & we had many of our guests come up to us to say how great everything tasted & asked where it was from!! We will be using Orlando’s again for any future catering needs!

ack but in a cool and collected manner. And everyone loved the food!

nd also very accommodating with setting up meetings and tastings around our busy work schedules, which I really appreciated. They also have several package options to choose from so you can find what's best for your event and your budget. We went to one of their Tasting Event nights, and I recommend attending one of these if you can because it was actually pretty fun, and nice, and you get to try a ton of the food! And of course their food is delicious!
