Nora Spanish Cuisine

r our first meeting and tasting. The food was to die for and the prices were pretty decent. Adrian left Nora Catering and handed us over to Ama. You would think that was a little stressful in the midst of wedding planning being passed around lol.. but when we met Ama, she was truly wonderful, sweet, accommodating, funny, and sooo much better to work with! There aren't even enough words to describe how great she was. We went back for a second and third meeting with Ama and I really felt like we became friends lol. She also acted as part of our coordinator, coming up with a timeline to follow, giving us numbers on how much alcohol we need to buy for our wedding (bc we hired Nora to be our bartenders as well), etc. Communication was great whether it was via text or email. On the day of, I just trusted that things will come together on it's own.. and it did! They were on time and helped us set up everything from tables, linens, glassware, china, desserts, etccc! Catering is one of the biggest vendors and we are so pleased with the turn out! Everyone is still raving about the food. It was different and unique than your typical American style wedding courses and more affordable! Ama went out of her way to give us an entire plate of tapas to make sure we ate. The staff were all so friendly and professional! We apparently had really heavy drinkers too (Vietnamese and Irish)... and later found out that the staff went to purchase more alcohol for us during our wedding because we were running low. That is going the extra mile and we appreciate it so much! I highly recommend Nora Spanish Catering for your wedding or any event!

ned us off. She just up and disappeared for a few weeks right before the event and then when I was freaking out, she didn’t see the importance in returning emails for three weeks and taking over a month to get rental quotes to me. So rude to me once we got in contact. It wouldn’t have been a big deal if we were months out, but we were less than two weeks out and at that point I didn’t know if we still had a caterer. Unprofessional and stressful. Plus, a lot of the communication we did have before the disappearance was so quick and brief in the reply that the emails led to more questions to clear up confusions or rephrasing the questions because they were not answered. After complaining to management about my experience, Nora came through though and switch event coordinators and the event ended up being a success. If this wasn’t the case, I would have only left 1 star. I would have left 5 if we had the service we had in the end all the way through. I would use them again if I could control who helped us.

was so thorough and organized and my day of coordinator couldn't stop singing her praises as a vendor who was really on top of it and handled everything. I don't know how much she makes, but she definitely deserves a raise! We had a backyard wedding at my parents home. Ama came out to our house a few months before the wedding and walked through the property, she dealt with the rental company for us and had an amazing staff who came and set it all up. Now the food. The tapas were impecable, and cooked to perfection. The paella we had was beautiful and was definitely a spectacle for our guests to watch being cooked, plus it was delicious. Since we missed cocktail hour, Ama made sure a plate of all the tapas was on our sweetheart table so we could taste them which was so thoughtful. The staff boxed up all the leftovers for us and left them in our fridge which made for amazing brunch food the next day. If you're considering working with Ñora, I can't recommend them enough.

ediately got super excited about working with her and her staff. Ama made everything seamless and so simple - we had such a stress free wedding day, a lot of which has to be credited to Ama and her excellent staff! She literally thought of everything before I/anyone had to say anything - THANK YOU, AMA! The food is beyond delicious - both in the restaurant, at the tasting AND at the wedding (which is a huge feat when cooking for a large crowd). The majority of our guests commented on the amazing food (veggie and mixed paella, brussel sprouts, naranja salad and mixed tapas) and mentioned it was by far the best wedding food they had tasted. We also had many comments on how excellent Ama and her staff were. I would highly, highly recommend Ama, her staff, and Nora catering without any hesitation!

the food within our budget. We visited their restaurant for our tasting and now its one of our favorite places to go! The day of, the team showed up on time, cooked delicious food and even helped to turn on our candles and make sure the tables looked perfect before the reception started. I would definitely book them again and already do recommend them!

d been to a party catered by them previously. We worked with Ama (as our day of catering coordinator) and Adrian as our contact throughout the planning process who were both very professional and accommodating, and their rates are very fair. Our wedding planner (Dandelion Events) also enjoyed working with them and expressed how nice and accommodating their service was (flexibility about having chefs and staff do certain kitchen tasks and making it work with our budget). The day-of staff and bartenders were so sweet to my groom and I -- finding us to ask if we needing anything, making sure we ate, and letting us know when our signature cocktail was running low and if we wanted a last one, etc. Fantastic service! The food was also amazing (food actually turned out better than we had during our 2 tastings at their restaurant) and many guests came up to say it was some of the best wedding food they'd had. We ordered the paella mixta, paella huertana, patatas bravas, Brussels sprouts (2 months later, several friends have brought up these Brussels sprouts in conversation!), and green salad. Their visual display and at the buffet was great too. My wedding dress was so form fitting that I couldn't have second helpings (lol), so we were so happy to discover the next day they had refrigerated 2 trays of leftovers for us! An amazing treat the day after your wedding when you're tired and still floating on a love cloud and get to enjoy your wedding meal again. Overall so pleased with the experience and would gladly recommend to anyone who wants to have amazing and unique wedding food!

n was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the staff was so helpful and accommodating. We had several gluten and/or dairy free guests (as well as a few vegetarians and vegans) – and this was the perfect way to accommodate these food restrictions without sacrificing flavor. I would happily rate them 5 stars for the event itself. However, a few weeks after the reception the coordinator called to ask about the envelopes containing the tips for the staff – one for her, and one for the rest of the staff. She acted confused by the amounts, and it felt a little bit like she was expecting more. Unfortunately, it was a tacky way to end an otherwise fantastic experience.

and forths!! The presentation and staff were also great. We would definitely recommend Nora!
