Reviews of Maddalena's Catering and Banquets

Leslie Kokx

The complement we received the most often and are still receiving from our wedding is about how amazing our food was at our reception at The High Five GR. Maddalena’s knocked it out of the park and blew all of guests away. This was no small feet since we had some tough critics in our group with many of them working in the food and beverage industry and we also had a significant amount of food allergies. My best wedding advice is to trust the professionals you hire. I knew wanted a plated meal and was hoping for steak to be my beef option but Matt, the chef, knew better and expressed why the braised beef short ribs was the better plated option. I trusted his knowledge, experience, and talent and I couldn't be happier that I did. And you can't review Maddalena’s without mentioning Amy. Her reputation for customer service proceeds her, and rightfully so! Every compliment you read and hear about her is true! Maddalena’s certainly earned the 5 star review!

Kat Krukowski

We used Maddalena's for our catering for our wedding this fall. I have nothing but positive things to say. They have a dynamic duo between Amy handling all things for the customer and Matt the genius behind the food. I was a type A bride and had a very specific vision for my wedding. Amy & Matt worked with me to help create my vision with a beautiful charcuterie/grazing table. I was also very nervous about the timing of our plated dinner being served but the wait staff the day of were on top of it. Matt's recommendations for food plated style were on point. Our guests raved about the food the next day. All to say, I cannot thank them enough for working with me and responding to my endless emails to make this day extra special and perfect for us. I highly recommend Maddalena's, Amy, and Matt for any future catering needs.

Noah Dunsmore

My wife and I were impressed with Maddalena’s from our very first meeting at the tasting. The food was incredible, and we especially appreciated the thoughtfulness of the chef when it came to ingredient sources, preparation methods, and the like. Amy was great to work with, and despite being very busy, she answered all of our emails and questions with great care and detail. Our guests absolutely loved the food as well, so much so that it was one of the biggest talking points both during the reception and in the weeks that followed. Whenever we had concerns pop up, Amy was always willing and able to find ways to make things work. Overall, the food and service were excellent, and we would definitely recommend Maddalena’s to anyone!

Stacey Dukesherer

From start to finish, working with Maddalena’s was incredible. We held my daughter’s bridal shower at their venue and everything was amazing. The food was delicious and the chef was beyond accommodating for food allergy requests. We also hired them for the wedding reception and could not be happier. Again, the food was delicious and the staff was wonderful to work with. They did such a great job making sure the buffet was fully stocked, dishes were cleared and offered to help in any way! I truly enjoyed working with Maddie and she made sure everything turned out exactly how I wanted you to it! Will definitely be using them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for catering services!

Kyle Scarff

I cannot recommend Maddalena’s enough! Amy was amazing at responding quickly to emails and phone calls. We booked with Maddalena's for our wedding on 8.13.22 and the FOOD WAS AMAZING! We got so many compliments on our food! I am still dreaming about the yummy foods! We had a charcuterie board for cocktail hour and for dinner we had airline chicken, sirloin, and salmon! Everything was cooked perfectly and served hot! Book with them if you want amazing food at your wedding for a good price! We had originally booked with another caterer and were panicked when we went to our tasting and the food was horrible! Amy and Maddalena’s saved our wedding day and now we will be loyal customers for life!

Brittney Wright

Maddalena’s is incredible. First off, Amy is a star. I loved working with her, and she went above and beyond to make sure that our menu was perfect for the day of. With all of the complications that COVID brought on, she worked hard to not only cater to our family tables, but to me as well. I ended up with food poisoning from the rehearsal dinner vendor, and could not eat anything on the day of the wedding. Amy and her staff made sure that I had food packaged up to take home, and boxed up some of the late night snack for me. Truly amazing and so thoughtful. Now for the food. After speaking with our guests that attended the wedding, Maddalena’s food was the top on their list. Many said that they’ve never had wedding food as good as ours was. My husband and I definitely echo that sentiment. Everything was absolutely perfect. Thank you!!

Taylor Lesky

I could not say enough good things about Maddalena’s catering. The food tasted exactly like our tasting and every single guest complimented it. I had numerous people getting married in the next year ask who our caterer was. They were also easy to work with, made the experience more enjoyable and less stressful! Definitely my favorite vendor from my wedding overall

Troy R

Maddalena’s was amazing from the very beginning of the planning process for our wedding. Every single person we interacted with was extremely professional and left you confident that you were in good hands. Amy was outstanding and knows her stuff leaving us with one less thing to stress about. We absolutely highly recommend using Magdalena’s for any event. They truly went above and beyond. We are still drooling about the food.

Meg Nicholas

We used Maddalena's as our wedding caterer, and got SO many compliments on how good the food was! We knew from the menu tasting it would be amazing, but they executed the buffet really well on the day of (especially for being off-site), and everyone was really pleased. Amy was easy to work with and very knowledgeable. Their food is definitely a step above other catering companies in Grand Rapids, in style/presentation, taste, unique menu options, etc. You may pay a bit more, but it's TOTALLY worth it (you get what you pay for, and for us, food was a big priority for our wedding). We didn't use their alcohol services, so I can't comment on that, but food was awesome!!

Amanda VanWerden

Maddalena's was an AMAZING catering service for our wedding! We got so many compliments on the food and still have people commenting on just how great everything tasted. They not only served dinner at our reception, but also cut and served the cake, and provided a lunch on the day of before the ceremony for our bridal party. Amy was nothing but professional and efficient. Matt was also wonderful to meet. It was very clear from the tasting that they truly care about their company and the food they serve. My husband and I are big foodies, so seeing their excitement about the menu made the choice easy on who to pick as our caterer. Planning anything during a pandemic is difficult, but Maddalena's made it easy and fun! Everyone with a food allergy or preference was served individually (including myself!), they were on time and the food was DELICIOUS! We highly recommend Maddalena's as your next caterer for any event! :)

Donna Cargill

5 stars! This is the best place to have a party! Maddie was so caring and paid attention to every detail for our daughters baby shower. The food was delicious! We had a pasta bar and we could tell that Maddie’s family made their homemade Italian foods from scratch! Everyone raved about the food and the venue! Thank you so much! 😎

Deanna Kwasteniet

Maddalena's was AMAZING! I work for a law firm downtown and do tons of catering, these guys are doing it right! Maddie was very prompt in communication and able to accommodate all of the needs we had for a large ArtPrize reception, the food was well priced, fresh and delicious and provided a great variety, the bar and staff were very friendly and well equipped to make the night run smoothly, they are a well oiled machine and we look forward to working with them again soon.

Jill Paauwe

We booked Maddelena’s for our daughter and SIL’s wedding prior to even doing a tasting based on Google reviews and are so glad we did! They were our best wedding vendor. Amy was so helpful all the way through the process. The food and drinks were creative and incredible! They worked with us closely to choose food and drinks and even recreated a special couples choice drink. Their charcuterie boards are works of art. So many guests commented that it was the best wedding food they had ever had. You can not go wrong with Maddelenas!

Julie Webb

We used Maddalena’s for our daughter’s rehearsal dinner on Dec2. It was the perfect place and size. They had it decorated for Christmas, the staff was great to work with and the food and desserts were awesome! Thank you for a lovely evening!

Roslyn Vashon

Amy has been absolutely FANTASTIC to work with! We had to make significant changes to our wedding this year due to the COVID pandemic and Amy worked with us to ensure our much smaller gathering went as smoothly as it possibly could. She also arrived early to help with setup so I wouldn't need to worry about it. My husband and I will be using Maddalena's next year for our big reception when it is safer to do so. The food is delicious, the staff are incredible, you can't go wrong with booking your caterer as Maddalena's!

Savannah Prior

Maddalena’s was hands down the BEST vendor we worked with while planning our wedding. Amy (the event coordinator) was amazing in making us feel so in control of planning- something we didn’t get from many vendors during COVID, and Matt (the Chef) is extremely talented and personable and made our tasting experience memorable. Our guests are STILL talking about the food, it was delicious, hot, and the portions were generous- everything you need/want when feeding your guests. I would recommend Maddalena’s to anyone looking to plan an event, it will be the easiest decision you can make and will not regret it!

Alyssa Bergsma

This company is so easy to work with, they were on time for everything for our wedding, their food is absolutely divine, and we have not stopped getting compliments on their work from our guests! We keep getting compliments on the seasonal salad, the beef bavette, and the airline chicken!! They made our wedding day so easy and stress free! I can’t speak highly enough of this wonderful local company!

Maddie Diaz De Leon

Let me start by saying, I'm a Covid bride. I was originally supposed to get married May 2020, and had 3 dates in between, and then finally got married on August 1, 2021. Maddalena's was always my first choice for our wedding food, and when we had to switch venues, I wanted to ensure that I kept them for my new venue location. Amy Baird and the team over at Maddalena's stuck by my side for over TWO YEARS to ensure they were there for me on my big day. I received encouraging emails from Amy, check-in's, and updates. She was so communicative and always so positive. Amy is the real deal - someone who truly wants you to have your magical day and will do anything she can to ensure you will. If I could personally endorse Amy for President, I would. She is THAT good. Now, onto the food. From our first tasting, we were blown away by how incredible the food was. You know how you attend some weddings and it just tastes...like wedding food? Bland, nothing special? NOT WITH MADDALENA'S! Their food is absolutely phenomenal. We had a chicken, beef and salmon option with the best potatoes, I truly don't even know what was IN those potatoes but I'm convinced it was heaven. The couscous, the vegetables...it was all so freaking good that my taste buds are still salivating. Our guests RAVED about the food, saying it was the best wedding food they have ever had. They went out of their way to provide a vegan meal for a bridesmaid of mine, and kept the buffet line flowing and our guests happy. I mean, I just want to do our wedding day over and over again thanks to them. Please, PLEASE use Maddalena's for your next wedding or catering event, you will not be disappointed. And if you have the absolute pleasure of working with Amy and her team, you are in the best hands. I gained a new friend in Amy, and I'm so impressed with her and Maddalena's that I'm recommending them to everyone. Thank you guys for everything!!!!

Amyellen Brune

Maddalena’s was absolutely fantastic! We used them as a caterer for our wedding shower and our wedding reception. The food was amazing and the service was second to none. We had so many people rave about the food to us! Amy, the catering manager and coordinator, was fabulous with communication, offering ideas, going above and beyond, and just being so extremely personable. I am truly going to miss my communication with her. I would recommend Maddalena’s to every bride!

Aleksandra Helsel

Maddalena’s is the absolute best! Wedding planning can be so stressful, but Amy (event coordinator) and her staff made sure that everything was perfect. We had no idea where to start and needed a lot of direction, but Amy was patient and guided us step-by-step throughout the entire process. She took care of so many details that we didn’t even think of. All of our emails with questions were responded to in a very timely manner, which is so helpful while wedding planning. Also, the food was AMAZING. Every single guest that we talked to raved about how good the food was. We used them for our bar service as well and we were very happy with that also. We had a few hard to please guests and they all loved the food and were impressed with the service. All of the staff that worked our wedding were very friendly and professional. Maddalena’s made our reception go so smoothly and I can’t thank them enough. I highly recommend Maddalena’s if you are looking for a stress-free, wonderful experience!

Rachel Baker

The whole crew at Maddalena’s was so wonderful to work with. Amy was a great communicator and made the whole planning process a breeze (even through the COVID crazinesss). The executive chef Matt is incredibly passionate about his work and gives you honest opinions on the food and the food quality you will receive and it did not disappoint. Cannot thank them enough for making our day so special. The food was amazing and our guests raved about it all night. Most of them saying “this is the best wedding food I’ve ever had” Would highly recommend!

Jane Johnson

We loved working with Maddalena's for our wedding reception! We received numerous compliments from our guests that they loved the food. Amy is wonderful to work with every step of the way. She made sure my husband and I had drinks right away and even brought us our dinner so we could eat quickly before guests started mingling, which was very helpful! Definitely recommend doing late night pizza too!

Eric Sheffield

Working with Maddalena’s was one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding. First of all- their food is incredible. I lost count of how many guests went out of their way to rave about the food. The event coordinator (Amy) was amazing to work with both before and during our event. The head chef (Matt) is extremely passionate about what he does and makes amazing food. I could not recommend Maddalena’s more highly to anyone planning a wedding or event. They're the best!

Jim Jonkman

Maddalena’s did an amazing job for my daughter’s wedding, the food was hot and fresh, and on time. I would highly recommend them. Amy was the point person and she goes above and beyond for her guest, from the first time we met she was so helpful, menu selections amount of appetizers needed and working with our Venue. Just an amazing experience. Thank You for a job well done.

Alec Capel

Maddalena’s was one of the absolute best vendors to work with! To start, the team was professional, organized, communicated regularly with us and was a dream to work with, especially Amy, the events coordinator. She went above and beyond to help us change our wedding reception needs multiple times due to the pandemic. Throughout the whole process they adapted to every need we had, and still made our experience so personalized. During a season where so many vendors were met with challenges on how to meet clients needs, Maddalena’s made sure we never experienced any of that stress. Most importantly, the food was PHENOMENAL- our guests still talk about it to this day! The presentation of each dish was beautiful and artistic, and set it apart from the many other catering vendors we had tried. The team is very talented and made our pandemic wedding better than we could’ve expected. We cannot recommend Maddalena’s enough!

Morgan Dailey

Maddalena's, did an awesome job at our wedding, held at the High Five- Downtown GR. Our guest raved about the food! We were also extremely happy with how everything was set up and how they made our guest feel that they were accommodated to. We want to give a big shout out to Amy and the rest of the staff. Amy not only was there for me through all the hard times that a bride goes through but held it down at the end of the night to top me off with a special drink of my own. We highly recommend!

Hilary Schultz

Absolutely amazing! We’ve all had bad wedding food, so so wedding food and then just what’s to be expected for wedding food. Maddalena’s is none of those- everyone raved at our wedding this past month about how surprisingly delicious the food was! It truly made all the difference to go with them for our reception! Maddalena’s catering goes above and beyond what you would expect for wedding catering, from their modern and varied menu to their flexible, affordable price and service! Their bar service is also great- very easy to choose from packages and pricing and great bar tending service! Definitely recommend.

Courtney Greco

The best part about my wedding was the food & drinks and that is all thanks to Maddalena's! Amy has been a dream to work with - she was there for me every step of the way. She was always available when I had questions and helped me to create my dream wedding menu. She was so personable that I felt like I was working with a friend. Our wedding was at The Cheney Place and Maddalena's has tons of experience catering there so cocktail hour and dinner service went absolutely perfectly. We had a nice assortment of appetizers for cocktail hour (get the bacon wrapped scallops, you won't regret it!) and a three course meal for dinner. We had almost 300 guests and service was so smooth that we felt like we were in a fine dining restaurant. A couple months prior to the wedding, I had my bridal shower at the new Maddalena's banquet hall in Standale which was also a plated meal. It is an adorable space. I highly recommend it for showers, birthday parties, rehearsal dinners, etc. I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Maddalena's. Our wedding guests are still raving about the food and drinks weeks later! Thank you for everything!

Anne Briggs

I am so thrilled that we hired Maddalena's as the caterer for our wedding! Right off the bat, I was impressed with the choices on their menu and with our contact at Maddalena's, Amy. I cannot stress enough how amazing Amy was to work with. She was very quick to respond to emails and very thorough in her responses. She was easy to work with and had a ton of great ideas! At our tasting, she suggested some really fun ideas around the cocktail hour and late night snack. One thing you should know is that you are not necessarily limited to the menu that is on the website. Amy helped us customize some of the meals and also sourced special items, like popcorn for our popcorn bar and donuts and cider, from vendors around Grand Rapids. We found the pricing to be very reasonable compared with other caterers in the area and the quality of the food was excellent. Our guests raved about the food and felt that it really made our day unique. On the wedding day, everything went exactly as planned and not a single detail was missed. I sincerely cannot recommend Maddalena's highly enough.

Leslie Miller

We utilized Maddalena's Catering for both the food and bar at our December '21 wedding and we continue to get compliments on how good the food was and how amazing the bar tenders were! If you are looking for a great team to hire for your wedding, this is the one!

Angela Browne

Maddalena's was the perfect spot for me to host a bridal shower! It's a great location to the airport for those traveling from afar, and easy to find! The building itself is very cute on the inside, and tastefully decorated to host a variety of events. I can't say enough great things about the staff at Maddalena's. Amy, the event coordinator, was AMAZING and incredibly helpful for my event. She responded very promptly to any questions I had, and her and her staff were extremely helpful the morning of, as we had some people last minute unable to help with set-up. Her, and two of her employees, were kind enough to offer us help in any way that they could. Lastly, the food was delicious! We had half wraps, with their homemade chips (which may be the best thing I've ever tasted), spinach salad and fruit salad, with a sangria bar. All of the guests raved about the food and how delicious it was! The turkey pesto wrap was definitely my favorite! I really can't say enough great things about Maddalena's, I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great caterer as well as an adorable event space!

Marisa Magnotta

There aren't enough good things to say about Maddalena's Catering - they are INCREDIBLE - specifically Amy (Event Coordinator) and Matt (Chef). They made the entire process from the first tasting to the day of the wedding so stress free and fun. They actually helped us cover things we haven't even thought of. Our guests literally said they were too full at the wedding because things were so good that they couldn't stop eating! Every single dish was what you'd expect at a high end restaurant! Highly recommend - oh and be sure to get the late night pizza because that was also such a hit!

Zachary Grifka

Amy and her staff absolutely crushed our wedding at the High Five! It's not often that you get to plan your wedding day multiple times over because of a pandemic, but having a responsive caterer certainly made it as easy as it could be! Not to mention the food truly speaks for itself - if you are on the fence about Maddalena's, please schedule a tasting. You will thank me later.

Adrianna L

I dealt mainly with Amy to have Maddelena's Catering do the catering for our wedding. I was more than pleased with the food & service provided. Several of our guests remarked that this was the best wedding food they ever had! I strongly recommend the sirloin which was cooked to perfection and the chicken roulades which had an absolutely delicious stuffing! I know that they were extremely busy & were short staffed...but no one would have guessed! We were very well taken care of! Thank you Amy & Maddelena's!❤️

Courtney S

I cannot stress enough how AMAZING Maddalena’s is. Due to COVID, we had to change our date and Amy was right in top of it for us. She was able to manage all of our changes and also all of the changes that were happening at the state level; needless to say our numbers changed drastically and more than once. She was always available to schedule a call with me to walk through things but honestly, that was more for my peace of mind and less for her. She was so ahead of all the details and made my job of “planning” the wedding a million times easier. It also turned out that our venue utilized her and her team for the bar and THEY WERE INCREDIBLE there too! So easy to work with, so personable and the food was absolutely incredible. Even now, two(ish) months later, we’re still being asked how we found such good food. Thank you Amy and the entire catering and bar tending team for making our day easier and better!!!

Laura Verburg

We recently had Maddalena’s cater the food and provide bar service for our wedding, and we couldn’t have been more thrilled with the amazing job they did! All of our guests commented on how delicious the food was and how much they enjoyed it. Every detail was taken care of and everything went perfectly! We felt that their prices were extremely reasonable, and we loved that our buffet package included appetizers served during cocktail hour, table service, cake service, and linens. We also appreciated being able to customize our bar package and add signature drinks to show off our personalities. Their catering coordinator, Amy, was an absolute DREAM to work with!!! Partnering with her was our favorite part about hiring Maddalena’s, which is saying a lot because the food was delicious! She was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and helpful, which allowed my fiancé and I to feel completely confident that everything was under control. She went above and beyond to help us in so many ways: she created a separate kids’ buffet for our younger guests, customized our bar package so we got exactly what we wanted at a great price, and stepped in to avoid us having the wrong color table linens when the linen company goofed up (without me even knowing about it until afterwards!) We can’t recommend Amy and Maddalena’s outstanding food and service enough!

Jan Jones

We just had a wonderful bridal shower for my daughter at Maddalena's! Their amazing planner, Amy, helped us co-ordinate every detail from beginning of planning, to the event to make sure our day was a success! The site is very attractive and intimate, and the food and menu choices were beyond incredible! We had a fantastic day and I'd recommend Maddalena's to anyone!!

Taylor Bierwagen

Maddalena’s is the perfect catering company to work with! They provide excellent food, and the staff is friendly and a joy to work with! We worked with them for our wedding, but will look to use their catering services for any other events needed in the future!

Kristie Moergen

Maddalena's did a phenomenal job catering for our wedding of nearly 200 people. Amy went above and beyond to help with the details leading up to the day, and her team did an excellent job executing the meal. Food was incredible, and their team offered excellent customer service. It was refreshing and relieving to know that Maddalena's had the food part covered well.

Lauren Weisner

Working with Amy and Maddalena’s was probably the best part of planning our wedding. Amy was a saint & took every curveball that Covid threw our way in stride. We changed our plan last minute to an intimate dinner & everything turned out perfectly. The food was AMAZING and our day turned out great. If you are looking for a caterer, you have found them!! Thank you Amy and Chef Matt!!

Abigail Tatroe

We used Maddalenas for our wedding last weekend and it was fantastic. Food was great, service was even better and Amy is the BOMB to work with. We had many changes and they accommodated us and took care of everything. Wish we could get married again just to eat and drink with them again!

Brian Forton

We worked with Amy at Maddalenas throughout our entire process. We originally were scheduled to have our reception in May 2020, but with Covid we needed to reschedule, multiple times. They made the process so easy with all of our changes and the accommodated our needs, often on extremely short notice. In a very difficult time for us to get things together, they went above and beyond to make sure everything went off without a hitch when we finally were able to celebrate. We had many compliments on the food and would definitely recommend.

Katherine Miller

My now-husband and I chose Maddalena's Catering company as our covid plan B wedding caterers, and I couldn't have been more happy with my experience with them! First off, Amy, the catering manager, did everything she could to serve us in a short notice, even though they had other wedding that day. We met with her and got an in-person menu explanation, then taste testing with the chef, Matt. He was so knowledgeable about what meals travelled well and all the food he prepared. When my husband didn't like the topping on the chicken (since he doesn't like mushrooms, even though I LOVE mushrooms), the chef was willing to switch the sauce with the one we both loved. The week of the event, Amy and her assistant came out to my private resident venue (yes - my covid venue) and scoped out the best spot for the buffet line and serving stations. She dropped off the linens for us prior too and was willing to pick them up after the event was done. On the day of the wedding, Amy offered to get my husband and I our plates so we didn't have to stress about waiting in line! HOW AWESOME! Seriously they went above and beyond in ever way possible. Also, to top it off... they have the option of doing late night pizza delivery... which we did and it was amazing! 10/10 recommend them, and sooo glad I did my "Covid wedding" because it was better than my original plan thanks to Maddalena's.

Lindsay Mourand

Maddalena's catered our reception of 170+ people... all were fed hot, delicious food in a timely manner. They even catered our rehearsal dinner in their own space. And that FOOD! OMG. Seriously, if you want to break out of the traditional boring wedding food, THESE ARE YOUR PEOPLE. My wife and I wanted to be sure that the food was memorable and we were providing out guests with something not only delicious, but unique. Amy and their team surpassed our expectations. The food was delicious and everyone, even the picky eaters were diving in. Amy is incredible to work with. She never made me feel like a nag, responded to EVERYTHING so quickly, and made everything a breeze on the actual day of the wedding. If you do not book them, you're a fool. ha!. AMAZING.

Sarah Sturm

When we first started reading reviews of Maddalena’s Catering we were wondering why every post mentioned Amy, now we know why! Maddalena’s catered our wedding reception and the experience from beginning to end was phenomenal. Amy was more than accommodating with our special requests and went above and beyond to ensure our menu was exactly what we wanted on our big day, as she had the chef prepare non-menu items for us. She was an excellent communicator and even responded to our emails when she was on vacation! She could not have made us feel more special on the day of our wedding. She was at the venue from start to finish ensuring every detail we planned with her was executed. She was the first to come up and ask us what we wanted from the bar as soon as we sat down, she surprised the bride with a special entrée (she remembered how much we loved it during the tasting!), and even had a whole pizza waiting for us at the end of the night! Amy was like a ninja; she was there to catch anything (literally – the brides fork dropped and she was there with a new one before we knew anyone noticed), so that every detail went smoothly. We had so many guests comment about how amazing the food was during the event and many are still talking about it after. If you’re having any doubts about having Maddalenaa’s cater your event, rest assured you will be blown away by the service and the food!

Meghan Mitchell

I can't say enough good things about Maddalena's! Not only was their food amazing at our wedding, but they were great to work with! Amy made sure our wedding went off without a hitch and was beyond helpful with everything leading up to our wedding- I would recommend them in a heartbeat!

Julie Munoz

We held our daughter’s graduation party here. It is a perfect venue for smaller gatherings. Maddie was very helpful and suggested the menu that we went with. This place is a 5/5 for quality and customer satisfaction.

Kierstin Mowinski

This company is amazing!! They were professional and easy to work with. Amy was a fabulous communicator and made sure every detail was executed perfectly. The food was incredible and our guests loved every option. Highly highly recommend!!

Emily Cook

If you need a cater for any event THESE ARE YOUR PEOPLE! We booked them for our wedding and booking them for food and bar was easily one of the top 3 best decisions we made for our day. Amy was amazing to work with and the staff in general is incredible. Beautiful and delicious food, great customer service, and overall a worry free experience. On our wedding day we received so many compliments on the food and service. Couldn't have asked for anyone better to work with. If I need anything in the future they will definitely be getting my business again!

Mary Van Essen

Maadalena’s was absolutely amazing. So many compliments on our food- even my picky dad! Amy was an absolute joy to work with. My favorite vendor be a long shot. She really cared about our wedding and gave us so many helpful tips! Matt the chef was awesome in helping us choose the perfect menu selections. Overall 11/10 rating!!!! Definitely would recommend to o anyone!!!!

Ashley Farran

I had my rehearsal dinner at Maddalena's and it was nothing short of amazing! Amy was so professional, fun and easy to communicate with. The decor of the place is super cute and the food was delicious! I would definitely recommend Maddalenas for your next event!

Hilary Fredricks

Amy and her team were amazing! She & her team went above and beyond to make our day perfect and just had we planned. She was quick to respond to any questions, helpful with planning the entire night including timeline & most importantly our guests loved the food. Met with her a couple times to go over details and always left feeling so much more at ease. Would highly recommend to any future bride and groom!

Kim Renkema

We hired Maddalena's Catering for bar service only (no food) for our wedding at the Cheney Place. Amy is AMAZING to work with. Her excellent customer service combined with the value and fair pricing in their bartending service is the reason we chose to go with Maddalena's. Amy was incredibly friendly and helpful through the whole process. She answered so many questions for us via email and met with us in person to help iron out the final details. Choosing all your bar options can be overwhelming but Amy made the process so smooth and always made us feel welcome to ask as many questions as we needed. We received several compliments on how friendly and quick the the whole staff was on the night of our wedding. I HIGHLY recommend them for their bartending services. Their prices are affordable compared to the other quotes we received, and working with Amy as well as the excellent service from the whole team just tops the cake!

Maddalena's hosted my daughter's high school graduation open house and did a fabulous job! The venue itself is warm and inviting, creating a comfortable, intimate atmosphere for all guests. There was plenty of parking available for all guests. We had approximately 150 people attend. The venue offers a great variety of food options. The food itself was displayed in an appitable manner and everything tasted delicious. We received many compliments from several guests on both the venue and the food. The staff did a tremendous job keeping all food items stocked and ready for the fluctuating guests, keeping plates cleared, tables cleaned, and guest's needs met. They had (3) televisions displaying the slide show I prepared. Their friendly and accommodating staff took care of everything and allowed me the freedom to greet and converse with guests and enjoy my daughter's party. It's a perfect, reasonably priced, and stress free option for any event! I highly recommend Maddalena's.

We switched from a different venue to Maddalena's for a corporate event and could not be happier! The food, especially Momma D's parmesan chicken was outstanding! Amy helped me plan the best menu possible and was outstanding to work with! To her staff, Anna, Maddie and Tricia you three made the event run smootly. No glass was empty, no dirty plate ever stayed on the table and you all worked with a pleasant attitude and smiles! Thank you again to all of you from MMPA! You have a repeat customer on your hands!!

We used Maddalena's catering and banquet facility for our corporate Christmas party. We had close to 80 people. The event space was great for our size. Amy's was excellent to work with and was very accommodating. She assisted us in customizing drink and food orders. She ordered us a special beer from a Muskegon brewery. She even helped us put together a photo slideshow last minute. Many people commented about the good food and fun they had. There was just the right amount of communication on site when needed to help the event run smoothly.

Selecting Maddalena's to cater our wedding was the easiest decision I made through the whole process. Amy was so responsive and set us up for a tasting early in the process and the food was stellar. We moved forward with selecting a buffet option with some add ons and I'm so happy we did the buffet. Guests were so excited to have options!!! The apps were also a big hit and we're still hearing from guests how delicious everything was. The salmon was my favorite and my husband loved the crab rangoon tacos, but everything was amazing. I was so impressed that the food tasted exactly how it did for our intimate tasting when done for a huge group of people! We also opted for Peppino's late night pizza and that was a great addition for our guests.
