Applause from Our Clients

“I cannot tell you how many compliments I received on the food and service! It was a class-act from beginning until end. I will highly recommend D’Amico to others, and I will keep you on the top of my list for future events.”

— Nicole, Corporate Client

“Your on-location staff was above and beyond! EVERYONE was very nice, pleasant to work with, just excellent customer service all around.”

— Jennifer, Corporate Client

“I heard so many wonderful comments about the food. We have people who have been coming to our holiday celebration for 25+ years and they told me that this was the best dinner entrées yet!”

— Anne, Corporate Client

“It was such an unexpected value add to have our venue and caterer (D’Amico) work so closely together on details. They are truly experts and helped us think through every detail; providing recommendations on what works well, and were honest about what doesn’t. Our wedding was three months ago, and we are still getting compliments from our guests about how incredible the food was.”

— Heather W., bride

“Please extend my thanks to your teams who were onsite. A colleague of mine said ‘It was one of the most enjoyable and engaging scholarship lunches we have had…’ and you helped make that happen!”

— Chelsey, University of Minnesota Foundation

“D’Amico Catering was phenomenal. We were planning our wedding from California without a wedding planner and they were so supportive and helpful. Not only was the food amazing, but they wonderfully navigated a number of food allergies. Guests wouldn’t stop commenting about how wonderful the food was.”
