estions, help with anything we needed, and made the entire process feel so much less stressful. The team made the night feel completely seamless from start to finish.

all of the entrees. The whiskey sour cart was so special and a complete HIT!!! Margaret and her team work magic and I am so grateful!!! (Also LOVED the pretzels!) Thank you, Nicole’s!

s fun, down to earth, and so so helpful from the jump. Book book book!

l with the lovely Katrina, to the fantastic couples tasting event, to our wedding day itself - everything was spectacular—not only just the quality of the food, but also the aesthetic/presentation, and tentative/professional wait staff. Multiple people came up to me during reception to declare things along the lines of “this was the best wedding food I’ve ever had”….”my steak was unreal, like insane”….”dessert bar was so amazing, I had to have a little bit of everything…” and so much more. we thank you for all your hard work that went into making our day so special (and tasty). Xoxo Jess & TJ 

d not have been done without them. We highly recommend them for any weddings or events. Katrina is amazing! 

bout it. What truly sets them apart is their attitude and willingness to make your vision come to life. Every crazy idea I had was met with a “yes,” and they executed everything flawlessly. You can tell they love what they do and treat your wedding as if it were their own. Nicole’s doesn’t just provide catering, they deliver an unforgettable experience. The energy they bring is unmatched, and their attention to detail is next-level. You absolutely get what you pay for, and in this case, that’s perfection. HIRE THEM.

at our venue. The food was warm, delicious, and a hit with our guests. The staff was kind and kept the night running smoothly. If you want to relax on your wedding day, hiring Nicole’s is the best choice!

ly kind — truly a joy to work with throughout the entire planning process. But let’s talk about the food — it was exceptional. Without a doubt, it was the best wedding food we’ve ever had, and we heard the same from so many of our guests. Every dish was beautifully prepared, bursting with flavor, and served with care. They clearly put so much heart into what they do, and it shows in every bite. Nicole and her team made our day feel effortless. They were there when we needed them, handled everything with calm confidence, and brought a warmth and hospitality that made our celebration even more special. If you’re looking for catering that will leave a lasting impression on both you and your guests, look no further — Nicole’s Catering is the best in the business. We can’t thank them enough for helping make our wedding day truly unforgettable.

hey did for us for our wedding! We also did my bridal shower at their restaurant which also had amazing food and staff! They really care about their clients which says a lot these days and they have restored my faith in humanity with their kindness and thoughtfulness. Please book them for all of your events big and small!

y enough about how great the staff was at the wedding!

re always kind and happy to help. Now, the food! Everyone loved it! If you book with them, please do the tasting, you will not regret it. It made our meal decisions easy! I would definitely recommend Nicole's catering.

the fun ones (adding cider donuts and s'mores to help celebrate the season). I really appreciated the thought they put into making sure that the details of our day reflected my husband and I as a couple. We also found the whole Nicole's team to be really lovely to work with: we felt very taken care of by our point person Kate in the lead-up and by the team that was onsite with us the day of. Finally (and crucially!), the food was delicious and plentiful!

sure the entire dining experience was everything we wanted. They are pros. We never had to worry about anything regarding the catering during the planning. They were flexible when we had specific questions and on top of everything. As for the food, we’re still getting compliments about it a few months later (yeah, sorry, this review is a little late). The filet was one of our choices, and it was fantastic – perfectly cooked and a large portion. Guests have also called out the firecracker salmon and the dessert cookies, and the tenderloin crostini passed appetizer was one of my favorite parts of the meal. Nicole’s does a great job with the bar, as well. Fantastic experience all around and would absolutely recommend.

) to a private tasting at their facility, where our pup was treated to his own steak! If that doesn’t convince you, the food certainly will. Whether it was the melt-in-your-mouth short rib or the exquisite bacon-wrapped scallops, every dish was simply phenomenal. It’s been two weeks since our wedding, and guests are still raving about the food. Kate and her team were incredible throughout the entire process. They worked closely with us to create the perfect schedule, and on the day of, their attention to detail and responsiveness put us at ease. Every request we made was fulfilled effortlessly, and their calm, professional presence truly helped make our day unforgettable.

ns from the start. Kate frequently followed up with phone calls and meetings throughout the year as we narrowed down our choices, and Dylan was great about sending friendly reminders each time a payment was due. On the day of the wedding, Nicole’s staff helped with the layout and setting up dining, memorial, and other incidental tables. We ordered our cake through them, so they took care of bringing the cake from the bakery, and it was delicious! When we weren’t sure if a buffet would work in the space based on the number of guests we had, Nicole’s assured us they could make it happen, and they certainly did! No one felt like they had to wait too long for food, and even with all our guests, the venue felt spacious and comfortable, even with the buffet tables. The servers were excellent and the bartenders were truly impressive, working on the deck outside tirelessly for almost 6 hours on a very hot and humid June day! Our captain, Michelle, constantly made sure my husband and I had enough to eat and drink. They even had a full and beautifully plated display of the passed hors d’ouevres set aside in the She Shed just for us before our grand entrance. Our guests are still raving about how delicious the food was and many have told us it was some of the best food they’d ever had at a wedding. We couldn’t be happier with Nicole’s and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caterer for their special event!

unanimous: Nicole's! Serving a very beautiful and delicious meal was important to us, and we got that and so much more. Kate and Ava were consistently easy to communicate, patient, and professional. It felt like a partnership in crafting the event that we wanted and bringing it to life. Additionally, their day-of coordinating was invaluable to making the day run smoothly. Things popped up (a shuttle was late pushing out timeline, a guest needed medical attention also pushing our timeline), but we hardly noticed. Ava handled everything so that we enjoyed a stress-free experience. The food was incredible and all our guests were raving about it. We're so grateful to the whole team over at Nicole's and would recommend them to anyone!

ing me. Literally nothing even happened between us for there to be incentive to just ghost me. Just your simple emails about menu type and scheduling phone call meetings. We scheduled a time for a phone call not once but twice and they missed both times. The first time I ended up calling them 15 minutes later and when they answered they knew exactly who I was and were incredibly kind so I gave them the benefit of the doubt. The second time we scheduled the call, they did not call again. This time, I emailed them asking what happened and am yet to get a response. It really is a shame since this is the most important vendor we need to book for our wedding. My venue recommended Nicoles Catering, too. But if this is how they handle their professionalism I don't recommend them. I'm really trying to give them grace here but there just cannot be any more excuses. Overall, I'm not even mad - I'm just extremely disappointed in their customer service.

er. One of our top priorities for vendors was catering, as delicious food (especially cocktail hour) was really important to us. Nicole’s delivered on that and then some. Every guest we talked to after the wedding could not stop talking about the cocktail hour food and each person had their own favorite. My mother loved the sweet potato/black bean quesadillas, my husband’s mother raved about the hazelnut chicken and at least three people could not get enough of the sliced tenderloin on crostini. And when choosing dinner options, multiple guests said it was so difficult to choose because all options sounded so good. But Nicole’s is so much more than fantastic food. Their catering team is professional and everyone is so amazing at their job. Throughout the planning process, Kate from Nicole’s was so responsive to every email that we sent planning the cocktail hour and reception menu and put me at ease with a document that had everything detailed out down along with a timeline. On the day of our wedding, Nicole’s provided catered sandwiches and drinks to both wedding parties for lunch. As my husband and I recessed down the aisle after the ceremony, there was Nicole’s with our signature drinks in hand for us! Nicole’s assigned us a captain for the wedding day whose focus is to make sure you (the wedding couple) eat and drink as much as you want. Tina was amazing and she waited on us and our families the entire night. My husband and I took 20 minutes in the bridal suite by ourselves before cocktail hour and Nicole’s brought up a massive tray of multiple items of every passed bite we chose as well as samplings of every other cocktail hour station we had. I honestly would have stayed up there eating our cocktail hour food and drinking our signature drinks, it was that good. During the reception, our captain Tina stopped by our table multiple times to make sure we never had an empty drink or had to wait in line. We even got a third meal option to try all three of our dinner meals. Afterwards, I found out Tina was also making sure that our families had drinks as well. The dinner service ran smoothly and they had the top tier of our cake wrapped and ready to go at the end of the night. If you are looking to wow your guests with amazing food and be taken care of by a catering team who are amazing at their job and knows what they are doing, you need to hire Nicole’s Catering. You will be so glad you did.

eam went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of and well fed day of as well! We still have guests telling us that it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding.

es to the last bite of the delectable Thanksgiving buffet, our experience with Nicole's was nothing short of extraordinary. Kate Bender, our dedicated coordinator from Nicole's Catering, deserves special recognition for her unwavering commitment to ensuring every detail of our reception was perfect. Kate's meticulous attention to detail and expert guidance made the planning process smooth and stress-free. Her professionalism and friendly demeanor put us at ease, allowing us to fully enjoy our special day without worrying about a single thing. Katie Vanauken and the entire time at Nicole's did such a phenomenal job the night of the wedding - included but not limited to Marc helping Jim with tying his tie, to ensuring both of us ate and always had a drink in hand while staying hydrated. The star of the show was the Thanksgiving buffet by Nicole's Catering. It was a culinary delight that exceeded all expectations. The variety of dishes, the presentation, and the flavors were simply outstanding. From traditional Thanksgiving mashed potatoes to innovative and mouth-watering Chicken Normandy, every dish showcased the culinary expertise of Nicole's team. What set Nicole's Catering apart was their commitment to quality and freshness. Each dish was not only delicious but also made with the finest ingredients. The buffet was not just a meal; it was a feast that delighted our guests and added a unique and memorable touch to our wedding celebration. Our guests are still raving about the exceptional Thanksgiving dinner and we attribute this success to the culinary prowess of Nicole's Catering and the organizational finesse of Kate Bender. If you're looking for a catering company that goes above and beyond to create a memorable dining experience, Nicole's Catering is the perfect choice. Our heartfelt thanks to Kate and the entire team at Nicole's for making our wedding celebration a culinary masterpiece.

up stopping by our venue to see it since we were in the area, and Nicole’s Catering happened to be setting up for a wedding and they were SO sweet. They gave us a tour and my fiancé suggested that we ask them for their card…and I’m SO glad we did! A few weeks after, I went for a tasting and was blown away! We booked them and everything was absolutely incredible! We wanted the food to stand out, quality and quantity and it sure did. Totally exceeded our expectations in absolutely every way possible. Kate made our day super seamless and was on top of it all! I had several guests point out to me how amazing of a job she did. Thank you Nicole’s!

including the vegan and vegetarian options. But that's just the start. We get emotional just writing this review because of how helpful and amazing the Nicole's staff was on our wedding day. It was POURING rain and the staff made sure I (the bride) stayed completely dry. They surrounded me with umbrellas as I made my entrance and gave me a pep talk that I'll never forget. They even wiped down my feet with towels before my first dance so I wouldn't slip. They made me, my husband and our immediate family feel fully supported throughout the entire day in a way we did not expect a catering company to do. Special shout out to Sarah, Katie, Madi and Emily. It was also a pleasure working with Kate throughout the process. Book them, you won't regret it!

and they helped us bring our vision to life. The food was delicious and the staff was excellent.

etter to work with than Sarah and Kate B. They provide you with honest advice along the way to make sure that all of your visions come to life. Nicole's goes above and beyond what any other catering business would offer. I picked Nicole's for my wedding at the Canfield Casino. They know this venue in and out. They know what will and won't work in this setting, which makes your planning and outcome that much easier and better. I truly had the wedding of my dreams and Nicole's played the biggest role in that from day one of planning. I received more compliments from my guests about the quality of the food, the portions, the menu and the service that was provided. All of my guests raved about the food! This is not your run of the mill wedding catering -- this is true gourmet food in bulk. I've never been to a wedding that had the quality of food as Nicole's provided for ours. The staff is so professional and truly provides the best service to every guest. I can't think of a wedding that I have been to that you didn't wait in a line at the bar for a drink or in a line for the food stations at cocktail hour. I didn't see anyone waiting in a line for either of these portions of our wedding and that is a testament to the Nicole's catering staff. During a time that companies struggle to find staff, Nicole's still has and trains their staff to be the best in the business. I also have to give a huge shout out to Kay who was was right by my husband and I the whole evening. She is incredible and made us feel taken care of all night long. I can't say enough about the experience that we had with Nicole's. My wedding wouldn't have been what it was without each member of this team. They work as a unit and are like a family and they treat you the same. I didn't worry about a thing leading up to the wedding because I knew I was in the best hands. Nicole's offers you as much time as you need and will answer any question, big or small. This is a 5 star business through and through. I will use Nicole's for every special event I can in the future and would recommend them to everyone. I could never thank this incredible team enough!

--they had everything taken care of and Kate made sure the groom and I had anything we might need throughout the night.

u, we appreciate your every attention to detail, and we will refer anyone in need of a caterer to you.

to the wedding, speaking with us multiple times about the food, decorations, and timeline of the wedding. They not only made AMAZING food (we got so many compliments on how delicious everything was and how big the portions were), but they also doubled as our day-of coordinator. We didn’t have to worry at all about decorating the space or cleaning up afterwards. The wedding itself ran so smoothly because of their timeline and assistance. They were also so attentive to us that day, making sure we had enough to eat and drink. We couldn’t recommend Nicole’s enough!

the details many times with Nicoles catering. Everytime I made an appointment over the phone with Kate, she never called me, I ended up calling there and Margaret would apologize and go over the items with me but then it would happen again the next phone call that was set up and when we went over everything again I realized a lot of the things we spoke about on the previous call were never written down. These should have been red flags but i just ignored them. On my wedding day, i was so nervous but right before walking out to the ceremony I realized that the seating set up for the main table was wrong. I told Samantha (wedding coordinator) who fixed it right away. I then walked down the aisle & as im walking down I see a lot of empty seats at the aisle. I was promised they would only put seats out for the number of guests and make sure they were filled. Now I have a picture of me & my dad with a bunch of empty chairs around us. When we got back inside I was so busy with pictures and then the bustle clips on my dress broke that i never got to attend the cocktail hour. Food was never brought to me so I asked one of the grroms men to get me some and he was told they were all out. We had a couple people cancel last minute due to emergencies so i was told that we would have that food packed up for us for later, then i learned that it was sitting out the entire time of the reception, so it had to be thrown away. The garland that was draped around the arch was supposed to be moved to the head table. That garland was what inspired the entire theme of the wedding when I began planning but they forgot to move it to the table and when i realized at dinner I told Samantha and she said she would get it but it seemed pointless now bc it was dark out and the table was all set up and the photographer already took pictures so i said okay and let it go. I had to go up and get drinks and wait in line at the bar like everyone else, my drink was never brought to me. I’m not trying to sound rude by that but a drink is usually brought to the bride. Samantha told me about two hours before the wedding was over that she had to leave. I guess i just assumed she would be staying until the end. What was supposed to be a great day turned into a very upsetting day for me to look back on. I know the entire point of a wedding is to marry the person you love but I spent so much of my energy on making this day special and I felt like i was let down. I trusted that everything we spoke about would happen and it did not, unfortunately.

best attention. The day of the wedding there was nothing left unturned. We, including our parents and bridal party could enjoy the day without worrying about a single detail. I would recommend Nicole's for any event over and over.

and trees. IT RAINED!! Nicole's team worked effortlessly to pull off HOT, FANTASTICALLY FLAVORFULL FOOD, while maintaining smiles and professional service. The Master Chef out did himself on every horderve and entree. The food was beautifully displayed and there was plenty of it. Nicole's Head Chef and staff SAVED my wedding. People have repeatedly remarked on the wonderful meal and white glove service from attentive staff. Nicole's food was more memorable than the rain!!! Take that Mother Nature!! I wish they would let us share photos on this review! Check their facebook page or mine. Amy Quinn .

ne thing the day of my wedding and they truly made the difference for our big day!! Nicole’s is totally worth it and I can’t recommend them enough!!

ter on the wedding day when they were feeding 150 other people! We have received the highest compliments from our guests who loved everything from cocktail hour to dessert. They completely nailed our vision of a fall menu, complete with a donut wall full of apple cider donuts instead of cake! They went above and beyond to find beers we wanted, even ones that aren’t widely distributed! Kate, and everyone else we worked with, was prompt with answers to questions, so helpful when planning a wedding felt completely overwhelming, and always delightful to talk to! On wedding day, we had an incredible team who not only made sure we were fed and happy, but were so on top of our timeline, including serving salads while we had speeches so we could maximize dancing and hand delivering a tray of passed bites (and specialty cocktails) to us while we took pictures after the ceremony. If you’re still looking for your perfect caterer, look no further!

They're really on top of their stuff! Their menu is great and their food is delicious - they have so many fun options! During the actual event, the staff went above and beyond to make sure everything went well and that we were taken care of. I highly recommend Nicole's to everyone!

ked through the door. Their kindness, generosity, and delicious food always made us feel like we were the most important people in the room. They have always gone above and beyond for us and we're so grateful to them for the amazing service and food. We also got countless compliments after the wedding about their wonderful service and amazing food. We're happy to feel like a part of the Nicole's family!

and ensuring we had everything we needed throughout the reception, they far exceeded all of our expectations. We thought the food and drinks were delicious, and all of our guests agreed. We would highly recommend Nicole's for any catering needs.

ess. She was flexible when we had changes and put together the perfect fall menu! Our guests have raved about the food and I couldn't agree more. I can't recommend Nicole's and the entire team enough!

so attentive to both myself and our bridal party. They had a "personal attendant" for my bridesmaids making sure they had food and drinks whenever they needed them! They did an incredible job coordinating our wedding without a hitch. Hire Nicole's!

utifully presented. They were very careful with food allergies, and they were even able to make some family recipes for our cocktail hour! Everyone at Nicole's was so accommodating through the whole process, and especially at the end when we had many last minute changes due to COVID. We're so glad we chose Nicole's, and we will absolutely use them again for any catering needs in the future!
