We could not have been happier with our catering! From the very beginning, James was incredibly helpful, communicative, and made the entire process so easy.
And the FOOD. Our guests absolutely loved it and are STILL talking about how good everything was! The mac and cheese alone… I genuinely could have filled my entire plate with it. 😂 Everything was delicious and exceeded our expectations.
One little detail that meant so much to me was having the servers bring my plate directly to our table. I was not expecting that at all, and on such a busy, overwhelming day, it was incredibly thoughtful and appreciated.
The service was fantastic, the food was incredible, and our guests left very happy and very well fed. We would recommend them over and over again!

This Little Piggy was a great caterer to work with. They were well prepared and the food was delicious. They were quick to respond and provide updated quotes as we looked into changing menu and plating options which was super helpful as we were making our decision for catering our event. We attended a tasting which solidified our decision for food at our wedding. They prepared all the food at our venue on time and it was even more delicious than the tasting. They were accommodating to leave the cilantro out of the salsa as requested and worked with us to customize the perfect plating for our event. At our final meeting we added in an ice cream sundae bar and that was a delicious addition that we highly recommend!
A'Britin catering (parent company of This Little Piggy) was great to work with as we organized our menu through This Little Piggy and we would recommend them as a catering company for your next event.

The food was absolutely delicious and was one of the highlights of our wedding. We received so many compliments from our guests about how flavorful everything was, and we have to give a special shoutout to the mac and cheese—it was hands down the best we've ever had and was a huge hit with our guests!
On the wedding day, the catering staff was professional, attentive, and kept everything running smoothly so we could simply enjoy the celebration.
We highly recommend This Little Piggy Catering to any couple looking for fantastic food, exceptional service, and a meal that your guests will be talking about long after the wedding!

We only had a few options through our venue and decided on This Little Piggy. I was nervous the buffet style would make the wedding feel less elegant but I was pleasantly surprised...
. They did a really good job making it feel like more than just an average buffet with the layout, flow, and signage. The huli huli meatball appetizers were outstanding and people said the mac & cheese was the best they've had. We had a very picky list of wines and liquors we wanted for the bar and they worked with us to create the selection we wanted. Cory was great! My only note is that after I initially reached out, I received sooo many calls and emails following up which was a bit overwhelming. Also, if you decide to get the vegetarian/vegan option, be sure to have your DJ announce to guests they need to speak to catering staff since they don't put it on the buffet. Not necessarily a note for this little piggy unless they want to create a sign for it but more just a note for future couples.

s. Cory, who we worked with, was great and answered all of our questions. They also partnered with nothing bundt cakes now which is fabulous as this is who we wanted to use for dessert- they were in charge of set up and takedown which was awesome! It was more expensive but worth it. They're 20% "production fee" is pretty overpriced in my opinion especially since it doesn't count as a tip at all, and I was super disappointed that we couldn't take any leftovers home at end of night.

ard winning pig roast but it was far from that. The macaroni was cold along with the beans. The people from the catering company were very proffesional, but the food was just not good. When you're paying almost as much as the wedding venue for food you'd expect alot more. They also charged me 500 dollars to change my wedding date due to covid restrictions not letting us have our wedding on the original date. I deserve some kind of refund, this was not what I paid for or was promised for quality

ember 2023 (our wedding was in September). In order to try the food we had to drive to Farmington to pick up an order. While I was there I asked if there were any tastings available before September and they said there were several.

The food was the best meal that I’ve ever had at a wedding, many others said the same. The service the day of and the process to get to my wedding day was subpar. Getting to sign a...
contract was the most difficult part of the whole wedding planning process. It was challenging that most of the process to get a contract involved phone calls and staff were only available 9-5. I can easily send emails during 9-5 hours but phone calls are much harder. I know that people can’t work at all hours of the day, but having even 1 day a week when staff was available even until 6 would have been extremely helpful. I loved my venue so much that I was so upset to see how many extra fees were being tacked onto my catering contract. A family friend who has been in the hospitality industry for decades was in awe of the rates and how sneaky the fees were. I don’t understand why This Little Piggy is in the “affordable” range on The Knot, it was quite a bit more than comparable vendors in the Twin Cities.
I would have loved to have attended a tasting! When I signed my contract, it seemed like scheduling one would be easy. Weeks and weeks went by without being able to schedule one. By the time there was one available, it was 4 months out from my wedding and I was on a work trip. Thank goodness my parents were able to accompany my fiancé to the tasting! I’m
The service on my wedding day was lacking. My mom had to go find the staff to ask them to start bussing tables since my guests had been finished for a while but no one had starting bussing tables.

was not ideal. This is concerning and does sound like it is up to our standard. I assure you that each of our Food & Beverage Coordinators works at least one late night per week to be as flexible as possible to meet the needs of our clients. Additionally, aside from private tastings, we also offer quarterly tasting events in which you can try our food options and get any of your questions answered. If you wish to discuss your experience further, please reach out to us at info@abritin.com

day of wedding/bussing tables/tear down/etc. We signed the contact with them in December because “the prices would increase” in the new year and they just seemed very pushy to get a sale. Two months before the wedding I found out that my contact for This Little Piggy was no longer with the company BY MY WEDDING VENUE. I had to email This Little Piggy to confirm this was the case and to ask who my new contact was. That was very unprofessional. I also had to email them and remind them of the payments that I needed to make and I had to ask for payment links. Having said that, they showed up on time and had everything set up to serve at the agreed upon time. The food was hot and delicious, and serving staff was kind and helpful.

Lastly, if you have leftover cash I’d recommend the lavender lemonade drink.

and do all of the catering! The two staff we had were BUSTING THEIR TAILS AND AMAZING! But for a wedding with 200 people it didn’t make any sense that only two workers would have been sent. Because there were only two people our food was running behind but truly I was fine with that because there were only two people!!
I wish they would have told me how many people were going to be working, I felt horrible for those staff.
I also felt like for a “more affordable option” we we’re definitely paying wayyy more than I thought was necessary. Overall, the food was good, everyone was happy but for the double digit price for a taco bar and two workers to be staffed day of-that left my husband and I heavily disappointed.
