Wonderful Catering for Your Wedding!

We hired this catering team for our wedding at Madison Greenhouse on November 1st, 2025 and they were absolutely incredible from start to finish. Our guests LOVED the food—people are still talking about how delicious everything was. The o’dourves, the main meal, the dessert station, and even the late-night snack were all outstanding. Many guests told us it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had!

Everyone was thrilled that seconds were available because no one could get enough. The quality, flavor, and presentation were exceptional across the board.

The staff was equally amazing—warm, professional, attentive, and so organized. They kept everything running smoothly and added such a positive energy to the evening.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience. Highly, highly recommend this catering team to anyone looking for top-tier wedding catering!

Great food and services

Avanti catered our wedding at Holland Marsh Wineries on Oct 3rd, 2025 and they did a fantastic job!

Megan and the team were very easy to work with during all of the planning, and the food delivered on the wedding day was great quality. The venue did not have a kitchen, so dinner was made off-site, but the food was hot and fresh when it arrived.

Due to their great working relationship with Holland Marsh Wineries, they ensured everything went off without a hitch. Since our wedding was on a Friday, they also setup the tables and chairs for us the day prior, which allowed us to decorate Thursday night and was a huge wieght off our shoulders.

So glad we chose Avanti for our wedding! Thank you!

Fantastic Catering

Megan and the catering team at Avanti Events were absolutely outstanding. From the moment we started planning, Megan was incredibly responsive and proactive, helping us navigate details we didn’t even know we needed to address. Her guidance and attention to detail ensured the menu, timing, and service flowed seamlessly throughout the evening. The night itself was executed perfectly by her team, and we received numerous compliments on the food. Our late-night snack bar was a hit, delicious and expertly coordinated to keep guests well taken care of. Megan accommodated all requests with a can-do attitude, making the entire experience feel seamless and beautifully coordinated. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out and would highly recommend Megan and the catering team at Avanti Events to anyone planning a memorable celebration. We got married at Holland Marsh Winery and the team was more than experienced with the venue, making this an effortless choice for us!

Good food and friendly staff

We had O’Malley’s as our caterer for our wedding this past Friday! The hor d’oeuvres were amazing and the dinner was delicious and our guests raved about the poutine station. However, we had them booked since our original date in 2020, but due to Covid had to postpone until 2023 and with that came a hefty price increase. We understood that food prices went up and were expecting a bit of an increase, but it was a 75% increase, which threw our budget wayyyyy over. Not to mention, they no longer offered the stationary stations. So we paid 75% more with less food. But overall everything was great and I would recommend them.

Delicious food and superior service

O'Malley's catered our wedding last weekend and we could not be happier with the quality of the food and the wonderful service we received. As someone with Celiac, I had a lot of worries when it came to choosing a caterer for my wedding day. Food safety and accomodating allergies was extremely high on my list of musts! I also wanted to ensure that the people who had allergies had just as good of a meal as everyone else and they delivered on this! Emidio, the owner of O'Malleys, did an excellent job of putting my worries at ease and executed our wedding day food perfectly! Emidio and Amanda were a pleasure to work with throughout the process of choosing our menu, discussing accomodations for allergies, and facilitating an exceptional meal for us and our guests at our wedding. We had so many compliments from our guests about the food at our wedding. Everyone loved the late night taco bar as well! Thank you to O'Malley's for providing top notch food and service and making our wedding food dreams come true!

Exceptional culinary experience & service

O’Malley’s catered my daughter’s wedding at Holland Marsh Winery. Emidio and his team executed the day seamlessly and flawlessly. Many of our guests commented on how pleasant the servers were. The food was a wonderful culinary experience. Some guests who had alternative selections due to allergies were amazed at how delicious the alternatives were. We were a large group and the service did not miss a beat. Our guests are still talking about the food and the service. Many thanks to Emidio and his team for all their efforts in making this wedding so special !!! We will definitely be using his catering services for other functions.
