Highly Recommend!
From first contact until the end Al and his team were easy to contact and were very responsive to all of our wants and needs.
Their creativity and flexibility made our Halloween theme Friday the 13th wedding such a great success.
I cannot say enough about how wonderfully the servers interacted with our guest and kept everything flowing so beautifully.
The food was perfect and so Delicious most of our guests had seconds stating that it was the best "wedding food" they ever had!From first contact until the end Al and his team were easy to contact and were very responsive to all of our wants and needs.

March wedding at Sterling Event Center, Mineola.
Marinas Catering showed up on time and provided a very professional polite service. We had the chicken cutlets and the flank steak. We had the salad bowtie, pasta, broccoli, and mashed potatoes. Everything was great. Reviews from all the guests were wonderful. The staff was very helpful in set up and clean up and I appreciate it greatly. The desserts were very tasty. We ordered three sheet cakes, all of which the guest love. Thank you for a wonderful wedding service Al!Marinas Catering showed up on time and provided a very professional polite service.

Tasty but affordable
Food was delicious! So much so that if you do end up hiring them, make sure you enlist someone to quickly grab some hors d'oeuvres for you before your guests finish them off. Namely the Papas Rellenas. I speak from experience. Also, their packages include a lot more than other caterers in the area, but were still more affordable. Very transparent, no surprises. Al also has this thing where he divides up the amount you still owe after paying the deposit and dividing it out into monthly payments. That was a nice touch, most vendors don't do that but I found it helped us stay organized. Sometimes it took a little longer to get a response to a question,...Food was delicious!

Sometimes it took a little longer to get a response to a question, but I do understand that sometimes that's just the nature of the industry since they have to be more focused on the event that's happening that week instead. Lastly, Al went above and beyond for my sensory needs kiddo in making sure he had a special meal that he would be able to eat. I'm forever appreciative of that! Would highly recommend! :) -

Great catering company!
Marinas Catering catered our wedding. Food was fantastic, service staff were phenomenal. The owner, Al, worked with us each step of the way, sampling his menu items, clearly explaining the contract, and allowing us to pay in installments. Definitely reccomend for your next event!

10/10 Would Recommend!
As this was one of my first experiences with a vendor, I was nervous when the process wasn’t EXACTLY like the other two vendors I had booked. Al was very considerate and heard me out on my concerns. He made it a point to personally call to reassure me and explain his process. That was very important to me and sealed the deal on my decision to go with his company. I heard nothing but great things from all of our guests on the quality of the food. The service team was very sweet and helpful!! Packing up and labeling the left over food was so kind and above and beyond in my eyes.As this was one of my first experiences with a vendor, I was nervous when the process wasn’t EXACTLY like the other two vendors I had booked.

We had a relatively small (40-50) guest wedding but it underwent several changes. Al and his team did a great job accommodating our requests and delivering a great dinner to make it a very memorable event.

I knew I hired right when I smelled the delicious food
I found this company on Facebook And hired blind. Al was very responsive answered my questions and gave me a price. Unfortunately we never got to do a food tasting. So on wedding day, I was so nervous but as soon as I walked in I could smell the delicious food. The staff was very courteous, attentive, food was delicious!! I thought I would be a bride that didn't eat at her wedding. NOPE!! First bite I was hooked and even had my new husband get me 2nds 😂. Upon leaving they packaged left overs for us and cleaned there stations told me where everything was and asked if there was anything else they could help with before they left ♥ I would definitely hire them again. Thanks Marina Staff and Thank You Al

Above and beyond my expectations
I will start by saying, as a self proclaimed foodie and with a family that has some of the best cooks from Italy, I was on a mission to find a great catering service. Marinas catering service went above and beyond my expectations. Al, the owner is more than just a great chef and business owner. He cares. He made our experience one of the most memorable in the process of planning our wedding. We had a change in our guest list and needed a solution. He even called me from his vacation in Italy to ease my nerves! This is hands down the best catering service I’ve ever worked with. Not only are they professional but very personal....I will start by saying, as a self proclaimed foodie and with a family that has some of the best cooks from Italy, I was on a mission to find a great catering service.

If you are looking for a catering service with fantastic food, personal touches and great prices, look no further. Hire them!! It was the best decision I made in the entire process of planning our wedding. Thank you so very much!! I am forever grateful. -

Best catering food in town!
From the moment I connected with Al, he was professional and understanding to my needs and wants. I asked for a tasting and he gave us exactly the quality and flavor we wanted for our Daughter's Engagement Party. As we all know food and music are most important. The staff was super friendly, professional, and courteous. I loved that they came around to clear the guests plates. That was important for me! The cake shots were delicious and a HUGE hit!! There was so much food leftover, seven of us ate from it on Sunday dinner. Sent to my neighbors and my mother (picky eater) who loved the food so much at the party, she wanted more. Donot walk...From the moment I connected with Al, he was professional and understanding to my needs and wants.

Our experience
We just got married on April 20th and had the pleasure of being served by Marinas. We chose the Spanish style pulled pork which was flavorful and moist, the lemon breaded chicken cutlet which we also tasted prior, we were a bit disappointed with this one. At our tasting I commented how being that it's breaded I think it would get soggy, Marinas assured us this doesn't happen, I REALLY enjoyed it at our tasting so reluctantly we chose it and it did in fact get soggy. We also chose the black beamn rice which everyone enjoyed. During cocktail hour a couple of servers came out to where we were taking pics and I asked them to please put...We just got married on April 20th and had the pleasure of being served by Marinas.

During cocktail hour a couple of servers came out to where we were taking pics and I asked them to please put a tray with each cocktail hour item inside the house so that we could try them after taking photos (we had about 50% attendance so there should have been plenty to do this for me) and this wasn't done, unfortunately i cannot comment on those items. Overall the process from start to finish was seamless, they packaged up the left over food from dinner and set it in the house for us. They were kind in making sure we were satisfied with what we were served. Dessert was excellent my guests are still talking about it. Thank you Marinas for helping make our evening unforgettable. -

Budget friendly catering with professionalism and good food!
We hired Marina's as they were one of the few catering companies we could find that we were 1000% confident would be able to accommodate the brides gluten allergy. On top of their accreditation which helped us be extremely confident in allergy needs being met, Marina's was very affordable which worked great for our limited budget. While you shouldn't expect Michelin chef meals at this price point, we heard nothing but positive comments from our guests! We did not eat much but that was not due to food quality, it was more so neither of us having much of an appetite after such a long and exciting day. What we did eat, I was pleasantly surprised with.

Orange City wedding
We had a wedding on 2/24/24 catered and bartended by Marinas Catering. When we first contacted them they were very helpful and answered all questions. The price and service we received during the wedding were great for the value without needing black tie formal service; the servers are friendly, helpful, and attentive. There was some period of time in between purchase and wedding date where communication with caterer was definitely lacking, but all results on wedding day were as promised and not lacking, the guests were completely satisfied, would recommend.We had a wedding on 2/24/24 catered and bartended by Marinas Catering.
