Finding a caterer for our wedding venue, Collingswood Ballroom, started with a vendor list given from their staff with a dozen or so names. We first went to Due Amici and were WOWe...d immediately. For perspective we tried one other (who shall not be named) that were incredibly disappointing. Before our wedding, we had a few meetings at Due Amici.
Meeting Dan and the team
- It was here we were introduced to Dan; caterer, coordinator, planner, detail oriented and thorough - an expert in his industry that we had a lot of fun planning our wedding with. We immediately got along and appreciated how enthusiastic he is.
Tasting 1
- We sampled from each course with many menu items, must try the seafood cartucci and “crack pasta”.
Tasting 2
- Menu choosing was extensive so come hungry, we had 3 family members join us who each raved about the selections. We even had leftovers!
Final Meeting 3
- Dan went through every step of the night with us and explained everything clearly. We were confident that our wedding would be nothing short of amazing.
We loved the food so much that we had our pre-anniversary (LOL) dinner at the restaurant too. Also we stayed for lunch after our final meeting! We just couldn’t wait for our reception food in the coming weeks.
A few shout outs we’d like to share is that Dan and the team assure you that even if things go wrong during your wedding night that you’d never know. We had a flawless wedding in no small part to Due Amici’s service. When we had concerns about our venue not helping decorate for our outside ceremony, Dan jumped in and said “guys don’t worry about it, I got it”. That is what you can expect from this vendor. They catalogued and organized with all of our vendors from cake to DJ to photographers, etc. All email and phone concerns were responded to right away.
On the night of our wedding, we found Dan, clearing plates himself, working around the room with a smile, and constantly checking on us. As he said to us, it is his show from the ceremony on. At one point, when we were being pulled in 10 directions by our guests, my (groom’s) kid brother couldn’t get a drink from the bar and Dan stopped everything to help him right away before we had to move on to our first dance.
Another call out we’d like to make is to Nicole, at our reception, gathered a buffet for us at our sweetheart table during dinner. She also kept us covered with drinks and all. She asked me (bride) if the food was the right temperature for us and if not would get us all new food right away. She did an excellent job.
As for our guests experience, we’ve heard tons about food galore, cocktail hour with servers all over the room and generous stations. Dinner with seafood, pasta, fajita, carving, and mashed potato filet mignon martini stations and more. After cake cutting we had butlered desserts, cake stations, and an ice cream bar.
End of night send off with wrapped cheesesteaks, soft pretzels, and water bottles for our guests as they left our wedding.
We couldn’t say enough wonderful things about the food, service, and expertise from Due Amici, and could not recommend anyone else for your wedding, celebration, or any event you plan. Thanks so much for making our wedding night everything we wanted. We will be back soon for dinner! Love, Kelly and John.
