I hired Chef Ellen for a dinner party that I was hosting for 20 people, and she absolutely EXCEEDED my expectations. From our first call about planning the event, to the event itself, Chef Ellen was fantastic. She has such an impressive rolodex of appetizers and meals she can prepare, and she worked with me to customize a perfect menu for the evening. We chose 5 hors d'oeuvres, and she surprised me on the night with two additional ones on top of the five we'd chosen! Every single appetizer was delicious. From there, we did a sit down dinner that included a soup (amazing butternut squash), salad (the best salad my guests have ever had - who knew a salad could be that life changing!), and then guests had a choice of filet mignon or arctic char for their main course. Both main courses were so thoughtfully prepared, perfectly cooked, and the presentation for everything was stunning. On top of that, there was a mini pizza delivery crisis for my 5 and 7 year old nephews who were over, and Chef Ellen graciously offered to make pasta for them -- all while preparing a 20-person dinner. What more could you ask for?! After dinner, she also surprised me with mini passed desserts :) Chef Ellen also had brought a server with her, who was professional, charismatic and on top of everything to ensure the night went smoothly. To sum it up, Chef Ellen helped make the night so special, and I was thrilled with all of her hard work. If you're looking for delicious food, beautiful presentation, great service, and a hell of a personality, don't hesitate to book Chef Ellen. I am so glad I found her and am already looking forward to having her back for another event!

Kelli's Kitchen 

5.0

  • Starts at $55
  • Serves Meriden, CT
  • Offer

It is our mission at Kelli’s Kitchen to provide you with a wow factor through the elegance of our food, and the excellence of our service. Kelli has been cooking for over 20 years teaching her homeschooled children and their friends how to cook a wide array of culinary delights, from simple, tasteful appetizers to mouthwatering entrees. In that time, Kelli found her joy and artistic ability through food. That same creativity and hospitality is emanated through our food and staff to create a personalized, unforgettable experience at your event.

Kelli catered to us for our June 2024 wedding. The team flowed so effortlessly together between hors d’oeuvres, entrees and desserts. Our cake was AMAZING! Such a unique flavor: blueberry lemon lavender. They provided us with buffet style—honey glazed salmon, chicken cutlets, string beans, and a salad with this phenomenal home made dressing!!! Favorite dessert was the mini cheesecake bites. The rustic decor and naked styled cake was exactly our vision. Kelli was very attentive to our needs from checking in while I was getting ready and providing drinks and hors d’oeuvres and guiding us through the transitions of the wedding. We got rain towards the end of the evening and the team did such a good job covering and moving tables and decor around. We didn’t have to lift a finger. They cleaned up fast at the end too. Kelli’s kitchen is the quickest yet most organized catering service we’ve ever had! Thank you Kelli and team for making our night so special and tasteful!

La Mila Catering & Events 

5.0

  • Starts at $75
  • Serves Meriden, CT

Starting their careers in the restaurant and food industry, Elie & Heidi Hanna decided to utilize their unique experiences and create their own vision of a full service event company. La Mila is named after their daughter, Milana, who provides them with limitless inspiration and motivation.

This review is a tad long so bear with me. I worked with La Mila Catering for my sister’s wedding which was held on 27 July 2024. While planning my wedding a few years ago I knew what to expect and what questions to ask. What I didn’t expect was working with such a lovely and genuine team. I worked with Sandy specifically for catering services only. She’s spunky, lively, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Working with her has been a pleasure and I felt as if I were talking to one of my best friends. Sandy is a great salesperson. She not only explains what La Mila offers but she does it in a way that is transparent and has no unexpected costs and “fine print”. She communicates well and is direct, which I appreciate. She’s a talker and I don’t mean that negatively. She makes you feel like family most sincerely. In terms of planning and coordination, Sandy was excellent and they’re lucky to have her. Menu: When creating the menu my sister wanted Mediterranean food. Now, I believe that their specialty is Mediterranean cuisine, but they do not shy away from other cuisines. Their menu is extensive and will cater to anyone’s taste. Skies the limit! We had quite a bit of offerings for Cocktail hour, Dinner, and Dessert. We were able to have a tasting which helped us narrow down if what was selected previously was what they wanted for the day of the wedding. There we met Elie (E-Lee NOT El-lee) and Heidi, the owners, and Sandy in person. Elie is the head chef and knows what he’s doing in the kitchen. Everything was cooked to perfection; delicious tasting and the portions were filling. Aside from the food it was obvious that Elie and Heidi work hard for their business and are truly dedicated. Day of the wedding: Elie, Heidi and their team worked based on the wedding timeline that I created. They were on time to serve all their food. I can’t tell you how many times I saw Elie walking back and forth to check on food and to bring food. That guy was moving! Heidi did all of the cocktail and dessert table placement and more. They are a hardworking team and I highly recommend them. From start to finish it was easy and perfectly executed. Point blank the food was delicious and I wish they had a restaurant so I could eat there all the time. LOL Thank you again for your friendship, delicious food and professionalism. *I wish I took pictures.

San Martino: Italian Street Food Pasta Station 

5.0

  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Meriden, CT

Book our pasta station for your wedding celebration(s) with our exclusive pasta pan, ‘Il Pentolo’, imported directly from 🇮🇹 Italy with authentic 🍝 pasta dishes cooked LIVE in front of you by a native Italian 👨🏽‍🍳 chef. This one-of-a-kind, 40-inch diameter, stainless steel pasta pan will impress your guests. ‘Il Pentolo’ LIVE offers your choice of Spaghetti Pomodoro, Fettucine al Ragú, Paccheri ai Frutti di Mare, Tonarelli Cacio e Pepe, Bucatini all’Amatriciana & more… A full menu of offerings and pricing will be provided upon inquiring and can be tailored to your event.

San Martino was a wonderful addition to our engagement party. Multiple guests raved about the pasta served, particularly the Paccheri ai Frutti di Mare (which was custom-made for us after inquiring since it is our favorite dish). The Pentolo pan was a showstopper and a huge hit - I've never seen anything like it. It made for some memorable photos and a talking point amongst family & friends. The chef was not shy when loading up our bowls with pasta, which was served right out of the huge pasta pan. Loved that the chef was a native of Italy and spoke the language, which made the evening feel genuinely and authentically Italian. We chatted about my family's Italian roots and shared our experiences and travels in Italy. All in all, the vibes were immaculate, the food was fantastic, and the presentation was stunning. Would definitely use San Martino again, and would certainly recommend them to others!

Sunflowers Event Planning, Inc 

5.0

  • Serves Meriden, CT for additional fees

With more then 25 years experience we find that listening to every bride and or client describe what they want for their special day or event is what it takes to be successful. It's what you want not what we want. Creativity is a strong characteristic and I enjoy the final product. It's simple. When the clients are happy I know we were to their expectations and that's all that matters at the end of the day.

We hired Sunflowers for our daughter's back yard wedding on Sept 12, 2020. Once Chef Laura and her crew arrived (hours before the event), they took over and I knew I was in good hands. Chef Laura was a pleasure to work with and also provided excellent guidance during the planning stages. The appetizers, passed during cocktail hour, looked and tasted great. All of the food during the buffet dinner was also excellent. The bar was well stocked with everything we needed for our crowd, which enjoys their cocktails. The crew were professional and responsive and kept everything clean during the party. Because of their hard work, I was able to enjoy the day! I will definitely call on Sunflowers for future events and would recommend them highly.

Cento Percento 

5.0

  • Starts at $2,100
  • Serves Meriden, CT for additional fees

The phrase "cento percento" was born in the heart of Florence, Italy with the simple idea of bringing Tuscan style food to New York. It has since evolved into an experience like no other, including traditional antipasti, hot and cold main dishes, panini and decadent desserts, including pastries and soft serve gelato. Fresh ingredients and tradition are a reflection of Italy's love and passion for serving only the finest foods to their guests. At Cento Percento, we strive to uphold that tradition and provide you with a 100% (cento percento) unforgettable experience.

I hired Cento Percento for several events for my clients and they were amazing to work with. The food is top notch and the service was impeccable. The staff understood the clientele and listened to my ideas and accommodated. They are very professional and a fun group to work with. I plan on using them whenever I have the opportunity.
