Pel-Appino Catering, LLC

e Tuscan chicken. Cat is wonderful to work with and is truly a professional. 

d everything we imagined for our wedding day. The tasting was amazing so be sure to come hungry!!! Many guests commented on how amazing the food was at our wedding, and people went back for seconds leaving hardly any leftovers! She handles all of her own tables, linens, and water making things even more seamless for your event. She got through all 105 guests through the buffet line quickly and efficiently! I would recommend her time and time again!! Thank you Cat and Pel Appino staff for making our wedding special and keeping our guests well fed!!!

solve. She has such big of a heart to make the bride and groom happy on their wedding day! Her food is amazing and so intentional in what she feeds guests. The service she provides in every aspect is beyond exceptional! Anything related to catering and food I had the luxury of not worrying about solely because of who Cat is and how she runs her company. If you’re unsure if you really want to use Pel Appino services let me tell you it is 1000% worth every penny and minute of your time to hire them. I couldn’t have dreamed of a better experience with them.

the very beginning, Cat impressed us with her professionalism, warmth, and clear passion for her craft. She was communicative, organized, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire planning process—answering questions, offering guidance, and making us feel completely confident in our decision to work with her. On the day of the wedding, everything was executed flawlessly. The food was phenomenal—we received so many compliments from our guests! We chose chicken caprese, rosemary beef, seasoned potatoes, steamed carrots, and arugula salad. Every single dish was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The quality of the ingredients and care in preparation truly stood out. You could tell Cat and her staff take genuine pride in their work. Equally impressive was the service. Cat’s staff was friendly, professional, and efficient. Everything was served right on time and with such smooth coordination that it elevated the entire dining experience. They made sure everything ran seamlessly, and we felt incredibly well taken care of. Cat brings a level of dedication and heart to her work that’s rare to find. You can see her love for what she does in every bite, every interaction, and every detail. We are so grateful to her and her amazing team for helping make our wedding so memorable. We wholeheartedly recommend Pel Appino Catering to anyone looking for outstanding food and service, and we hope we have the opportunity to hire Cat again in the future. She’s a true gem in the catering world.

so incredibly kind.

rofessional and also warm and a joy to work with! We had a large population of vegetarians/vegans at our wedding and Cat was more than happy to go off her provided menu to accommodate dietary restrictions and create a cohesive and delicious menu. Cat and her team travelled to Cascade, ID for our event and were on time, prepared and flexible as the day went on. They kept plates full and had such awesome energy when interacting with our guests, and were even willing to push service back after our timeline ran a little long. We got nothing but positive feedback on the food, and then got to enjoy all the leftovers for the days after! Thank you, Pel-Appino, for being such a pivotal part of our day!

better because we each had our own favorite. Cat settled the debate perfectly by saying, “Why don’t we just serve both and let the guests decide?” That moment alone speaks volumes about her flexibility and desire to make everything just right. One of our biggest concerns when planning our wedding was finding a caterer who could safely accommodate my husband’s Celiac disease. From the start, Cat was incredibly knowledgeable and reassuring. Most of her food is already Celiac-safe, which was such a huge relief. She made us feel completely confident that our guests—and more importantly, my husband—would be safe and satisfied. On the big day, Cat’s team arrived early, were organized and professional, and had appetizers ready to go as soon as cocktail hour started. They moved efficiently and kept everything running smoothly, even with our large guest list. To this day, whenever we talk to friends and family about the wedding, one of the first things they mention is how amazing the food was. We’ve received so many compliments, and we know several guests went back for seconds—it really was that good. Thank you, Cat and the entire Pel Appino team, for making our wedding meal unforgettable! If we ever host a large event again, we know exactly who we’ll call—Pel Appino!

t we were in great hands. The food was amazing, and she helped us navigate through what our vision was and what would work with our budget and make sure that nothing was lost in the shuffle. The menu is so easy, it is all one price, and everything is included, she sent us an estimate and it only varied due to the guest count was more than we expected at the time we booked. On the big day, everything went amazingly (and yes we started late....) We had the charcuterie grazing table for appetizers, Arugula Feta Pomegranate Salad, Broccolini, Black Truffle Potatoes, Chicken Pel-Appino and Marinated Tri-Tip with Rosemary. Everything was over the top! The food was hot!!! and tasted incredible. We thought that the food could not taste any better than the tasting, but we were wrong, it was delicious! Guests have said that it was the best food at any wedding that they have ever had. I cannot say enough about Pel-Appino and Cat. Her team is hands down the best in the state. Her knowledge of the wedding industry and how our vendors got excited when they heard Pel-Appino was catering our wedding, I knew that this was a match made in heaven. I cannot thank Cat enough for all her support and I hope that I can refer Pel-Appino as much as possible. You won't regret anything.

the food was only one thing, it was the amount of customer service that we and our guests received. The staff at Pel-Appino is the best in the state. From Brittany who assisted us and our planner to ensure that everything ran smoothly, to Cat who made sure that nothing was forgotten. I cannot convey to anyone how smooth this process was, from beginning to end. From the minute we spoke to Cat on the phone, to the food tasting in her home (with her sweet dog Sam) to every text, phone call and email, she was attentive to us, and she was so quick to respond to us. Even if she was busy, she let us know that she was busy, then got back to us. We just loved everything about this entire experience, and we will stay in touch with Pel-Appino for every catering we need in the future. You cannot go wrong with this choice! I would have given more stars if I could!

about dinner for days after. We appreciate the exceptional service provided from the beginning to end.

ey loved the food - many went up for seconds! We loved working with them and would do it again in a heartbeat!

king for more! One of our guests even told us that it was the best wedding food she ever had, and I couldnt agree more! Cat and her team made family-style dining at our venue a breeze. If you need a caterer for your wedding (or any other event), I would recommend Pel-Appino. You won't be dissapointed!

and makes things incredibly simple! 5 stars all around! I would highly recommend.

ry many of the delicious options that they have. They enjoyed the time there and it absolutely helped us plan out a great meal. Cat was also very quick to communicate via email, and we never felt like we were left waiting for a response. This was extremely helpful for us during planning! Food: The food was delicious, and we got plenty of compliments from our guests! We chose the charcutier grazing table as our appetizer, and Cat was also nice enough to throw in two extra appetizers, the "Ricotta with Lemon Basil and honey flat bread" and the "whipped goat cheese and blueberry balsamic crostini". These were great little bites for us, though as the wedding couple we were so busy we hardly had enough time to sit down and enjoy them! For our main course, the dishes we especially loved were the "Sauteed Zucchini and Yellow Squash with Sundried Tomato Alfredo Sauce", the "Sambal Marinated Tri-tip with Fresh Fruit Tapenade" and the "Chicken Pel-Appino". While everything was delicious, these three were our absolute favorites! The Wedding: When the big day arrived, Cat's team was extremely helpful, professional, and incredibly flexible. They did a fantastic job, and we really couldn't have asked for anything more! Overall, we had a wonderful wedding, and Pel-Appino was a critical part of that! Thanks again to Cat and each and every member of her team!

ate, limited cell service, etc) but Cat and her team rose to every challenge with professionalism and grace. They went above and beyond to assist us with not only food related tasks but with everything we were working on - they worked incredibly hard to make our wedding weekend a reality and I am so grateful we chose them. Guests especially loved the lemon chicken, the lunch sandwiches (a total sleeper hit), the charcuterie table, and the hot pretzel bar! We would DEFINITELY recommend Cat and her team for any future events.

it was to us!! I am so grateful we found her as she truly made our day perfect.

e to set up and how to access power and they took care of everything. On top of everything else, the food was fantastic. We would give them six stars if that was an option.

monstrated unwavering professionalism, timeliness, and excellent communication that made the entire process a breeze. First and foremost, the food was nothing short of spectacular. Cat's culinary creations were a delightful journey of flavors and textures that left our guests raving about every dish. From the appetizers to the main courses, each bite was a culinary masterpiece. Her attention to detail in presentation and taste truly set her apart. The wait staff at my wedding was another shining star in this catering experience. They were not just attentive and efficient; they went above and beyond to ensure that every guest felt special and well taken care of. Their service was not just about delivering plates and clearing tables; it was about creating a memorable dining experience for everyone in attendance. Their professionalism and friendliness added a wonderful touch to our celebration. Cat runs an outstanding catering business, and I have no doubt that she will continue to thrive in this industry. I can't help but sing her praises to anyone planning future events, whether it's brides-to-be or corporate event planners. She has a knack for delivering exceptional service and exquisite cuisine that will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression on any gathering. In conclusion, my experience with Cat's catering service was nothing short of extraordinary. Her professionalism, timeliness, and effective communication were the bedrock of the entire experience. However, it was the delicious food and remarkable wait staff that truly stole the show. I have every intention of spreading the word about Cat's exceptional services to all future brides and corporate event organizers. If you're looking for a caterer that consistently exceeds expectations, Cat is the one to trust with your most important events. Thank you, Cat, for making our wedding day unforgettable with your incredible catering!

o reach out with any questions or concerns, and really appreciated the kindness of the staff. Not only did they serve an amazing meal they also helped with the cake and desserts. Fabulous vendor, highly recommended!!

raved). It was delicious and a perfect compliment to our “Under the Tuscan Sun” themed rehearsal dinner. I would highly recommend & use Pel-Appino Catering again. Thanks Cat Pellegrini

free because no matter what we needed it was handled with a smile. Further, the wedding experience they have is of great help on planning. We would use them again and again.

easily and happily accommodated our special requests. We have been to many weddings where the food wasn't very special and wanted to make sure to not add ours to that list. Cat more than met this goal, and I would eat her food every day if given the option. Her whole staff was kind and friendly, and we loved having them all there on our big day!

plete without her. Catering was one of our top priorities for our wedding and Pel-Appino catering did not disappoint. The charcuterie board, chicken Pel-Appino, and rosemary beef are a must! Pel-Appino catering even has licensed bartenders! We could not recommend Cat more and were so grateful to have her a part of our day. Thank you, Cat for everything! Date of Service: June 18th 2022

stomers. Her team is fantastic as well. We loved having her cater our wedding.

She did an amazing job on wedding day and everyone was raving about the food (I am still hearing about those cheesy potatoes!!) She also stayed and made a late night pizza bar snack. Highly recommend the Pel-Appino team!

s to take home. Cat was very easy to work with and very accommodating to all of our requests. We would definitely recommend her and we will use her for future events.

and answers them promptly. Her staff was top notch and did a fantastic job setting up the room and then taking everything down afterward. We hit the jackpot by signing up with Pel-Appino Catering.

l-appino is to die for! I was one of the brides that postponed for an entire year because I was determined to have a fall wedding and Cat was with me every step of the way. She was my favorite vendor to work with and I will always recommend her for anyone who needs a caterer. Also she has so many options, we had a grilled cheese bar at the end of the night with delicious tomato soup. The fact that there are no hidden or last minute fees is just the cherry on top. If you need a caterer, look no further that Pel-Appino Catering and you won't be disappointed.

amazing communication throughout the entire process and was willing to help and work with us wherever we needed, even if it wasn’t on the topic of food, she was there to help.

like family and took so much time and care into making sure my day was magical. I literally cannot say enough nice things about this company! If you want perfection, love, dedication, deliciousness, cleanliness, and amazing setup… Pel-Appino is where it is at!!

n I talked to Cat on the phone, it felt like I was talking to a family member. Her warmth and familiarity made me excited to work with her and made me feel lucky we found her. We wanted a catering company that was streamlined: we didn't want to have to deal with all the little decisions. Pel-Appino absolutely delivered there! When the wedding day came, Cat and her crew settled in on their own, worked patiently around our delayed scheduled, and laid out delicious food with gorgeous presentations. What's more, Pel-Appino is very familiar with dietary restrictions and allergies. Two of our guests had gluten and dairy allergies and could eat almost everything! The only thing I'm sad about concerning our experience with Pel-Appino is that I didn't get to interact with Cat and her crew more. Such sweet people! I would HIGHLY recommend Cat and Pel-Appino Catering! They made our wedding meal magical!❤️🌟

responded so quickly. The food was perfect and the late night grilled cheese and tomato soup was so fun!! Andrea and Cory Dutton

dn’t agree with them more. We highly recommend her for any event.

s so helpful throughout the months and weeks leading up to our wedding -- her calm and caring demeanor was very much appreciated. Beyond just making sure that the food was absolutely delicious and that all of our guests were accommodated (vegetarians, gluten free, etc.), Cat and her team helped out with so many other aspects of our wedding that it's hard to list them all. We couldn't have pulled this off without them!

hey have 100% earned every 5 star review they have on here but i need y'all to know if i could give then 10 stars i would Cats love and passion for catering is incredible she has so much love for it and will do anything if it means taking a little pressure off the bride and groom. She was so patient while we worked through our bumps in the road from COVID from venue changes to date changes. She was there the whole process from start to finish so responsive and even took the time to call me get to know me and personally introduce herself unlike the other vendors I had looked into who responded back with a menu prices and phone number. She treats you like family not like another paycheck in her pocket. We're forever grateful to have come across Cat and her team, I can promise anyone that reaches out to Cat will not be disappointed. Thank you for making our special day as special as it was we love you Cat. -The Johnsons ❤ 9.26.2020

licious, fresh, and served in a timely manner. Cat is professional, and ensured that our vision was executed. She even ensured that the vegans and the meat lovers at our wedding left stuffed! We are so happy we went with Pel-Appino Catering!

and she is truly there to make your day or event special! And that's not even talking about the AMAZING dishes she prepares for you. My (now) husband and I went for a tasting at her home and everything she put out was better than the thing we just tried. It was a 'Yes' on the spot. My family talks about the food all the time. You want Cat to cater your wedding. She is the Best ever. ( I would suggest you ask about the Grilled Cheese Bar)!

ars and brie cheese). It was not just your typical 'wedding' food. They also had this amazing charcuterie board with meats, cheeses, crackers, flatbreads, fruit, etc. that was not only picture perfect but tasted incredible. If you are looking for a professional caterer that not only serves the best food in the valley but truly becomes your friend. Call Cat - you will not be disappointed!
