We used Ovy/Ati and their team for catering our wedding of 90 people. We did a tasting about 1 year in advance, and we were stuffed from the tasting alone. The food was amazing and Ati and his team reviewed the science behind how they prepare their food and walked us through the process of how plates would be prepared on the day of our event. As promised the food was delicious and we were stuffed, and we decided on Ovy's team day of. Leading up to the event, Ati had great communication via email, and reached out regularly with updated contracts, confirmed our meal selections, and closer to the event laid out the details as well. Their team was present during the final walk through at our venue, and helped to ask important questions about food and decor that we wouldn't even have thought to ask. On the day of our wedding, the team was a well oiled machine. It was clear they were familiar with the venue. We did not have to lift a finger for load in or clean up. The catering lead approached us about just the right things at just the right times - including offering us our own plate of apps and making sure we always had a drink refill! Clean up was very efficient. All the details were on point. Our guests later remarked that the food was the best they've ever had at a wedding and are still talking about how delicious the salad and entrees were. We could not have asked for a more delicious meal and organized team! Thank you so much to Ovy, Ati, and the rest of the team for making our day a success. We would absolutely book them again for any event in the future. Don't miss your chance, slots fill up quick !!

Hands down the most delicious food ever! We originally reached out because I had tried their food at a wedding I attended and once our planning got started I knew exactly who I needed to reach out to. Ovy, Ati, and their team were extremely kind and SO easy to work with. Our tasting completely blew us away! Every bite was incredible, and our bellies felt full for what honestly felt like 2 weeks after. On the wedding day, the food was nothing short of spectacular. We received SO many compliments from our guests about how delicious everything was. Every dish was perfectly prepared and absolutely flavorful. I still dream about their butternut squash soup and wish I could eat it every single day! If you're a foodie like us and want your wedding guests raving, your taste buds celebrating, this is your team. Truly amazing from start to finish!

My husband and I used Ovy Catering for our wedding on 11/1/2025, and we were beyond happy with our choice! Our venue provided a list of preferred vendors, and after attending three tastings with different caterers, we chose Ovy—and we are so glad we did. At the beginning of the process, we worked closely with Ati. His communication and transparency were outstanding and made everything feel seamless from the start. On our wedding day, we were lucky to work with Noreida, who was just as fabulous. Chef Ovy truly is the best—his food is absolutely delicious, and he is incredibly kind. His talent really shines through in his cooking, and I am still craving the au gratin potatoes! On our wedding day, he went out of his way to make sure my husband Ben and I were completely satisfied with everything. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the food, and we received countless compliments saying it was the best wedding dinner they had ever had. Crème brûlée is one of our favorite desserts, and Ovy and his team executed it perfectly. Each guest received an individual crème brûlée, and the team hand-torched every single one—it was such a special touch and absolutely delicious. The entire catering team was extremely professional, and we truly have nothing negative to say. We would recommend Ovy Catering 1000x times over! Thank you ALL so much for being such a big part of our wedding day. Ben & I are so appreciative.

Ovy, Ati, and their team were the best! Many guests said this was the best food ever at a wedding. They were on multiple venues' lists of recommended caterers, and after reaching out to 15+ for prices they were one of the cheapest, and the food options were so unique and delicious. In addition to the hors d'oeuvres and main meal, we added on a dessert table and coffee/tea and everything looked really nice. We also did a late night snack through Ovy! We opted for purchasing alcohol separately while Ovy provided the liquor license, bartenders and drink mixers to save more money, and they poured signature drinks for free (some caterers charge extra for signature drinks). They were great with communication, professional, kind, and we highly recommend everyone reach out to them!

From our very first conversation with Ati, we knew we wanted them to cater our wedding. And then we had our tasting and we were absolutely blown away! Our family members we brought with still talk about all of the incredible food we ate that day. It was so hard to decide on our menu because everything was delicious. Ati and Ovy were so easy to work with. It was nice that with all of the stress that comes with planning a wedding, we knew we weren't going to have to worry about anything related to catering because they had it handled. Whenever we reached out with a question, they got back to us almost immediately. I remember sending Ati a completely not urgent email and he responded within a few minutes asking if we wanted to chat about it on the phone and we had all of our questions answered within an hour of sending that email. Everything went perfectly smooth on the wedding day. They set aside drinks and hors d'oeuvres for us during cocktail hour and everything tasted exactly like we remembered it from the initial tasting. The main courses as well- the meats were cooked perfectly and the presentation of the dishes was stunning. Again, just as we remembered it from the tasting. The staff came to check in on us many times throughout the night and even grabbed us drinks from the bar during dinner. Our guests loved the food- we heard nothing but glowing reviews after the wedding. Many of the guests were even going up to Ovy to tell him how incredible his food was. They sent us home with one of each of the main courses at the end of the night and Ati called to check in on us the day after the wedding. From the very first contact to after the wedding day and every moment in between, it was so enjoyable and stress-free working with Signature Catering by Ovy. We cannot recommend them enough.
