Testimonials

“Ambrosia catering made my daughter’s wedding even more special. The food was amazing, and their team that worked our event really went out of their way to help make every one of our guests feel special. They did an amazing job on our quick room flip and helped with clean up at the end of the night as well. Coleen and Rich were both so easy to work with and were great at communicating. They worked with our long list of dietary restrictions with ease. I can't say enough things about how great Ambrosia catering is!”

Ambrosia served a delicious buffet for our wedding! We heard so many compliments about the sundried tomato sauce for the chicken, and the smoked Mac and cheese was to die for! Coleen was so friendly and helpful with everything. She also set us up with Bonnie for our cake, which was so good we didn’t even have a piece left! I would highly recommend Ambrosia Catering for any event you need to be catered.

“Wedding planning is not always easy, but from the moment we met with Coleen, we felt a weight had been lifted! She was so helpful, and her staff was incredible! Not only did they provide amazing food, but also were able to provide linens, and the staff who worked our wedding was so professional and helpful with everything. They also had a bartender, Scott, who might have been every guest’s favorite person there that night. He was friendly and chatty but kept the bar line moving so no one had to wait. About the food! We invited multiple people from the restaurant world to our wedding. They ranged from a couple of chefs and back of the house to front of the house, needless to say; these people aren’t impressed easily! Almost every single one of them commented on how great the food was! The meatballs stole the show, but there wasn’t a single thing that wasn’t delicious. They also were able to accommodate allergies. My husband has a garlic allergy, and they were able to make food that tasted great without the garlic. The overall experience from start to finish was so easy, and we couldn’t be happier with the food and staff!”
