    Simply Exceptional

    There aren’t enough adjectives to describe how wonderful Milan made our daughter’s wedding. Our original contact was Erin who was very responsive and thorough, not to mention making us feel at ease from the very beginning. And then there was our coordinator Melanie Sommerschuh. Melanie was so kind and thoughtful and thorough. We met her the day before the wedding and by the end of the wedding she felt like family. She handled everything for us so all we had to do was enjoy the wedding.
    If you are fortunate enough to have Melanie as your coordinator, you’re in good hands for sure.
    And oh yeah, the food was excellent also.

    Easy to work with, offered the whole package

    We loved Milan catering! Melanie is the ultimate best - she was so kind, easy to work with and thoughtful. She came up with creative ideas to manage our timeline and handle sensitive topics around costs and managing sicker family members. I would strongly recommend using Milan, especially just to work with Melanie

    Fantastic experience with Milan - highly recommend!

    I'd give 6 stars if I could - Chef Roberta was incredible in every aspect, from menu design, accommodating dietary restrictions, and delivering on an incredible meal. Everyone RAVED about the food - from the hors d'oeuvres to the entrees to the desserts; the service was amazing; the setup was perfect; and Milan made everything so easy! Erin from the St. Pete office was absolutely a delight to work with. I HIGHLY highly recommend Milan, Chef Roberta, and Erin!

    Pellico/Freeman wedding 10/29/22

    If I could leave 100 stars I would because that is truly how AMAZING Milan catering & Laura Snow are. Words can not describe how amazing Laura is at what she does! Her talents and hard work go beyond just coordinating. She is truly one in a million and we are so blessed and thankful to have had the honor of working with her. My fairytale dream wedding came true because of her! The food and staff with Milan catering are wonderful, professional & amazing in every way! We truly can not brag enough about how amazing our wedding day was and it’s all thanks to these amazing people and their teams!

    An absolute dream!

    Working with Erin and the Milan Team was the best vendor experience we had. Erin is such a thoughtful person and truly was the deciding factor on why we went with Milan for Catering. From reserving our date to booking our tasting and our wedding day, Milan made us feel so special every step of the way. They pay attention to the small details - ie. During the tasting, my husband said he liked cheese on his vegetables. Come wedding day, his broccoli showed up with cheese on it, just for him. The price truly reflects the quality they deliver in food and service and we couldn’t be happier with our decision.

    Milan Catering is the BEST!

    I cannot say enough good things about Milan Catering & Laura Snow. From the event planing to the dining room service, along with the exceptional cuisine. Five stars all the way around. The event planner Laura was so helpful, she made our wedding day smooth & stress free. The food and service was amazing, our guests had so many great things to say about their meals. Thank you for making our special day even better than we envisioned!! Highly recommend!

    Fabulous Wedding Caterer

    The choice of Milan Catering was one of the best decisions I made regarding my wedding. I waivered on using a Wedding Coordinator and I'm so happy I did. Laura made all the difference in my stress levels. Coming from out of town, I didn't have to deal with any of the small details, she contacted all of my vendors, set a perfect timeline, kept drinks in our hands all night and sent me a ton of pictures and videos after the fact. The food was magnificent and the entire staff were so great to work with! I highly recommend Milan and Laura to anyone hoping for a seamless day!

    Outstanding food and service!

    We had chefs Roberta and Nick and lead Melanie and our wedding was absolutely amazing. Multiple guests commented that it was the best wedding food they ever had. Service was so fast and food was hot and delicious. Staff was also so sweet and accommodating. Plus I love that they assign someone to bring the couple appetizers if they are taking pictures during cocktail hour. Our contact Erin was also unbelievable throughout the entire process and many many emails. You will not regret hiring them for your wedding!

    Fantastic Food & Customer Service

    Erin and Chef Roberta were fantastic to work with start to finish. Erin was always extremely quick to respond and had a ton of helpful suggestions. We had a great tasting where we picked our menu and place settings. Everyone raved about how good our food was. And I have to agree. The wait staff was excellent and made sure my husband and I got plenty of the cocktail hour appetizers and large plates of dinner (and extra apps!). Would book them again in a heartbeat. While this was the most costly part of our wedding, it was well worth it. And they came in below many other well known caterers in the area for comparable menus.

    Milan Catering and Laura Snow are the best!

    The team of Milan Catering and our day of coordinator, Laura Snow helped make our daughter's wedding flawless. We never had to worry about a thing and we were able to enjoy the day with our daughter, son-in-law and our guests. The ceremony, food, and reception exceeded our expectations. It was perfect!

    Fantastic!

    Our wedding venue required that we use one of their approved vendors. When we researched Milan, we found that they had the largest selection of appetizers and entrees, and based on their sparkling reviews, we hired them on the spot (without even tasting their food). Erin, our catering coordinator, was excellent to work with. She walked us through the entire process and made numerous revisions to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. She was super responsive and happy to answer any questions we had.

    Fast forward to the day of our wedding - mind. blown! The food was INCREDIBLE! Like not just good food, but great food. We had your standard steak/chicken/fish options. Steak - the bomb. Chicken - the bomb. Salmon - the bomb. We really enjoyed the tableside service, where our guests were able to order their meals from the menu, and it was prepared on site. It was a nice, added touch that I think really elevated the dining experience.

    Milan also offers linens, chairs and other event rentals, which we found convenient. Erin walked us through all of our options for table design on the day of our tasting, and it all turned out beautifully!

    Catching up with people days after the wedding, they're all raving about the food and desserts. Chef Roberta was kind enough to visit our table to say hi and make sure we were enjoying everything. Milan might also have some of the nicest staff in the business. Seriously, they were all smiles and super friendly - we loved it. We can't say enough about Milan and their excellent service. Highly recommend!

    Could not imagine my wedding day without them!

    Laura, my day of coordinator from Milan Catering, was absolutely amazing! She made sure that EVERYTHING went smoothly and according to schedule. The wedding started on time and everything after that worked perfectly. Laura went above and beyond the entire night working with the photographer and videographer, ensuring that my husband and I had everything that we needed, and even taking extra pictures and sending them over to me the following morning. I even caught her helping the servers at one point during dinner! I would re-hire her in a heartbeat. The wedding would not have been the same without her help!

    Helped me plan my dream wedding in 6 weeks!

    ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I contacted Milan Catering and began working with Erin to plan my wedding in 6 SHORT WEEKS. Erin was an angel and was so helpful throughout the entire process. My wedding was really a dream. On top of that, the Chef (& owner) was incredible and so accommodating. She went above and beyond and even ordered extra rosemary for my place setting because I mentioned how much I love rosemary at my tasting. From the menu to the string lights and everything else in between, Milan Catering took care of it all and made it so easy. From day one, they showed spectacular customer service, and I wouldn't have been able to pull off my dream wedding in six weeks without them. Would recommend them over and over again!

    Milan catered my wedding this past weekend and I’m soo happy I booked them. They are outstanding! Erin was my contact person for my catering and rental needs. She was very helpful and responsive. I didn’t have to worry about anything. They came with everything and the food was absolutely delicious. All of our guests loved it. I highly recommend! Look no further, You won’t be disappointed!

    Milan Catering and Laura Snow are the best in the business!

    Milan Catering is simply amazing!! The staff were so incredibly attentive and made sure all of our guests needs were met with speed and smiles! The food was incredibly delicious. Having been a guest at many weddings before attending my own, the food is not something I tend to remember about the event... I can guarantee that this will not be the case for your guests if you choose to go with Milan! One of my favorite parts about working with this vendor was being able to select a “restaurant style” service where guests get to choose their meal the day of the event instead of selecting ahead of time. This felt really luxurious and our guests were so pleased. The team at Milan Catering is also very flexible and accommodating. We asked for a poultry dish that was not offered in the catering menu and the chefs had no issue with it whatsoever! We got so many compliments on the beautiful desserts and appetizers during the cocktail hour. Lastly, as a couple on your wedding day you will hardly get the chance to take breaks between events on the timeline and Milan ensured that no matter what we were up to they were right there serving us newlyweds whatever delicious food was being served up to our guests. If all of these details aren’t convincing enough, go through and read the thousands of other stellar reviews this catering company has received! Thank you team at Milan for making mine and my husbands dream wedding become a reality!

    All guests loved this caterer

    Excellent caterer. Food was delicious and cooked to specification. Service too was top notch. Portion sizes were good. As we all know, this is not always the case with wedding food. Every guest felt compelled to let us know how enjoyable the entire experience was. It’s also really great that Milan is able to accommodate dinner selections onsite rather than needing to know ahead of time. We got some “style points” with guests for this. Chef Roberta is also an extremely pleasant person to be around. We thoroughly enjoyed our tasting and other interactions with the entire team. Would highly recommend.

    Best caterer and THE Greatest wedding planner

    Milan catering was truly nothing less than delicious. They did such an amazing job with our wedding that most of our guests have contacted up separately to inform us on how great the food was and how amazing our day of coordinator was! My husband and I are truly so lucky to have hired Milan Catering and MORE IMPORTANTLY Laura Snow! I am normally not the person to take time and write reviews but honestly people need to know how great they are!

    Amazing!

    From the first meeting with Milan all the way up to my wedding day, Laura made it an absolute dream. From picking out linens, colors, and the menu, she was there every step of the way. I can't recommend hiring Milan enough. Every single person commented that it was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding. And HUGE shout out to Laura that made my dream wedding come true!!

    Amazing service, exceeded expectations

    We hired Milan Catering for our destination wedding and I’m so glad we did. We also hired Laura for day of coordination and we couldn’t have pulled it off without her. She kept our very large family and bridal party on task and on time and always made sure my husband and I had a drink in our hand. She also performed emergency bustle surgery when I lost a few buttons dancing too hard. And she did all this with a smile on her face. Very grateful for her! She truly went above and beyond. And the food was delicious as was the cake. All our guests were fans.

    Milan Catering & Laura Snow are the best!

    I cannot say enough good thinks about Milan Catering and Laura Snow! Guests are still raving about how amazing the food was and how quick it came out. I was nervous about having a plated meal, however Milan Catering did not skip a beat.
    Laura is an absolutely incredible day of coordinator. I cannot even begin to explain how much she did for my husband, family, and I during our wedding day and leading up to it. Laura can really do and handle it all. She sewed my dress after a latch on the back of it broke. Our mirrored seating chart that I had DIYed got knocked over by the wind at the venue and found a replacement and remade the whole mirror before the wedding and I had NO IDEA. The list truly goes on and on, on how Laura went absolutely above and beyond. We cannot thank her enough for being a HUGE part of our wedding day that was out of our wildest dreams.

    Thank you Milan Catering and Laura Snow!!!!

    Immaculate Service & Planning

    Milan catered our wedding at The Powel Crosley Estate on 11-22-20. We are from Memphis so we were planning a wedding from quite a ways away.
    Laura worked with us every step of the way and was very understanding about time frames as we could only come down to Sarasota a few times. From our initial appointment, we immediately knew that we wanted them to cater our event. It was clear that they knew what they were doing and that we were in good hands. One of the most important ways that Milan made us feel, was heard. There are so many decisions to make and to have a vendor that cares and listens was so important.
    The food is AMAZING. They worked with us to find a plan that fit our needs. We were able to mix and match food plans and alcohol plans that fit us and our guests. They work hard to make sure that any dietary restrictions are met and have plenty of options for all types of eaters! We still think about the food we had on our day!
    Apart from the food, their staff was professional, kind, and helpful throughout the entire process and day. They floated about and made sure everyone was taken care of. One of my favorite things they had for us was that they have a bridal party server who makes sure we had drinks and got to enjoy our cocktail hour appetizers while we were taking pictures. They truly think of everything!

    Top Notch Catering and Wedding Planning

    WOW! Can’t say enough about our experience with Milan. Laura Snow is a one of a kind wedding professional. She planned our daughter’s wedding in April of 2021 and I couldn’t be more impressed with how she handled the wedding weekend. Laura brings happiness, positivity and valuable experience to a somewhat overwhelming process. She seamlessly made sure the day of the wedding was organized, timely and SO MUCH FUN! And the food~ let’s just say that our guests said the family style food served table side was the best wedding food they ever had. Any family who has planned a wedding during COVID can attest to the additional stress of shifting dates and ever changing restrictions, yet Laura and chef Roberta kept us upbeat and on track....and truly helped our kids to have the wedding of their dreams! One of the best wedding decisions we made was hiring Laura Snow and Milan Catering:)

    Guests are still raving about our food!

    We had the best time working with Milan Catering, Erin was absolutely wonderful helping us make decisions from start to finish. Planning a wedding throughout 2020 was no easy task, but they were helpful, flexible and a pleasure to work with. The food at our wedding was amazing, all of our guests raved about the amazing passed hors d'oeuvres and the entrees. I would absolutely recommend Milan Catering to anyone planning a wedding!
