Our Wedding was PERFECT thanks to Nellie's!

“ When we first started planning, our wedding venue (Marie Selby Gardens) had recommended Nellie's Catering to us. We did not hire a planner and we don't have any family in Sarasota, so it was a blessing to work with Fredda Pohl right from the start. Even after our initial phone conversation, we were immediately comfortable with her. She guided us throughout the entire planning process and frequently stayed late to meet with us after hours due to our work schedules. We had several tastings (all complimentary and wonderful by the way!) and Nellie's really helped us customize our catering package to work within our budget. We had an open bar which was so much more affordable than any other caterer and the food was AMAZING! Our guests were so impressed with the appetizers and dinner-- several people actually told us it was the best "wedding meal" they've ever had! Also, our guests were very complimentary of the service at the wedding, which was super important to us (Justin and I have both worked in hospitality in the past). Nellie's Catering is the best in town and it will be the best decision any bride and groom can make! Thank you Fredda for everything! :) Our Catering Manager for our wedding day was Cheryl and she was so great to work with! She was always quick to respond to our e-mails and calls, and gave us wonderful advice while planning. We decided to move our reception indoors 1 week prior to the wedding day, yet Cheryl still made everything perfect! She made sure all our vendors had the details for the wedding day and it was very reassuring. She worked hard to turn our visions into a reality and our wedding was a dream come true as a result :) Thank you again Cheryl!! We also used Nellie's for our Rehearsal Dinner, as they provided their restaurant for a private venue at no extra cost! It's a huge perk when using them as a wedding caterer. Our Rehearsal Catering Manager was MaryKay and she was awesome! She had great ideas and created the most beautiful and intimate rehearsal dinner. We had an Italian theme and the food was OUTSTANDING! We cannot thank MaryKay enough for making our Rehearsal Dinner so special. Thanks again MK!! A special thanks to Brie for your constant help when I called Nellie's and for rocking our wedding bar! We know our guests kept the bar very busy and you both were amazing and professional :) Thank you Brie :) We would recommend Nellie's Catering to any future couple because they are so much more than a caterer. Five star service, quality, and value! Thank you to the entire Nellie's team for everything! Our wedding weekend was perfect because of all of you. Xox Alicia & Justin”

“ From my husband and I’s very first meeting with Fredda, the owner of Nellie’s, we knew that Nellie’s catering was the one for us. She immediately made us feel like the most important couple she was dealing with, even though I know they are popular and therefore dealing with many other clients. Additionally, the food was delicious they were very well priced as well! Once we signed on with them, every step in the planning process was laid out before us and we were given the freedom to move through them as slowly or as quickly as we’d like. Since we picked a venue where all the details and planning were left to us, it was great to have someone guiding us the entire time and being able to offer many options. We went from the vague idea of how we wanted our wedding to be, to planning out the finest details and Fredda and Cheryl were there the whole time guiding us through. It was such a wonderful and enjoyable experience! We were introduced to our catering manager, Cheryl, at the site visit, and she was knowledgeable, efficient, fast and friendly. She was always very prompt in her responses to subsequent emails and phone calls following the visit and very patient with us changing things, sometimes more than once! Every time we met with Fredda or Cheryl they were well prepared and willing to work with our schedule to meet with us whether in person or over the phone and always able to answer any questions and calm any concerns. I loved that throughout the entire time Fredda kept reminding us this is our story to tell, no one else’s. I think you need that reminder because you tend to get caught up in the details and sometimes lose focus on what this is all about. Susan, the wedding coordinator, was great! It isn’t easy corralling and organizing my family but she did it with grace and ease. It was great having her there to run the show because we could just sit back and follow her lead which eased the stress of the both the rehearsal and the big day. Additionally, on our wedding day my niece, the flower girl, had a meltdown right before walking down the aisle and Susan was right there to comfort her, which meant a lot to us. Overall the Nellie’s staff grew to feel like a family to us. We worked with them for so long (over a year!) and the entire experience was one we will never forget. All of our guests kept raving about how delicious the food was, how organized everything was and how smoothly the events went-all thanks to Nellie’s! Even my mom, who usually only eats food she makes, said how tasty all the food was-she stuffed herself full! When I got my entire security deposit back from the venue (the Philippi Creek estate), the very particular venue manager specifically told me that Nellie’s did an excellent clean up job and she was very pleased. They are truly a full service catering company but also something more-they are family! Cheryl was there before I walked down the aisle to tell me I looked beautiful and give me a reassuring smile. Fredda stopped by later in the night by to see how the things were going and ended up helping my husband and I with the cake cutting (we felt a little lost on how to proceed-silly but true-but she made us feel at ease with her instruction). Little touches like these are what make you see just how much the staff at Nellie’s truly care about you as a person and want this to be the most memorable and special day of your life-which it was! I highly recommend them to help create the wedding of your dreams!”

“ From the minute I met with the owner, Fredda Pohl, my new husband and I were treated like Royalty. Everything from the help with organization & planning, food, event staff, assistance with decorating, treatment of our guests, clean-up, and so much more was "Absolutely Wonderful". I was so blessed to have Cheryl assigned to us as our Catering Manager. Cheryl did not miss a thing, and was there for me no matter what I needed. I honestly don't know how the Ceremony and Reception would have turned out without her there. During our Reception, we received so many wonderful compliments from our guests on the amazing food and the treatment they received from Cheryl and her great staff. We are so grateful to Nellie's Catering, Fredda, Cheryl, and the staff for providing us with an unforgettable Wedding !”
