    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!

    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,...

    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.

    Great Service

    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. Definitely recommend.

    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....

    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...

    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...

    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. I would...

    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.

    Food was delicious! Al was very flexible with us to have us come in again for a second tasty on different proteins we were interested in trying. We wally helped us make informed decisions and helped with tips for other last minute things we still needed to complete for the wedding!

    We used Marinas for our wedding and we could not have been happier!! The service and food was phenomenal. Multiple guests complimented on how good the food was! Not only was everything perfect but the pricing is so affordable. Definitely will use them again if we need catering.
