Olympia was the inclusive caterer through our wedding venue, but honestly we would’ve gone with them even if that wasn’t the case! We opted to add some extra options and were thoroughly impressed with them! SUPER yummy, the beef tenderloin was particularly amazing, and the cilantro pesto that came with it was one of the best things I’ve ever tasted!!

Darren and all of the staff were wonderful to work with from start to finish and provided some truly delicious food for our wedding. They had such great variety in their dishes and they executed them all to perfection. Guests were commenting how amazing the food was all night and we couldn't have asked for a better evening. It was a pleasure working with the Olympia crew and they truly helped make our night so special. Thanks!

Nancy Cotto is THE BEST OF THE BEST! We had an issue with our original caterer and had to find a new caterer a month and a half before the wedding. Very stressful… Nancy Cotto from Olympia Catering & Events swooped in like wonder woman and saved our wedding!!! We were immediately fast tracked to a tasting and she crafted the most incredible menu for us within our budget. After meeting Nancy in person we immediately felt comfortable and were treated like family. We received so many compliments on the food and service. Nancy went ABOVE AND BEYOND helping us, even giving us other tips and tricks to ensure our wedding day went perfectly. We cannot thank her enough for everything and highly recommend her for any wedding or event! She is a PROFESSIONAL ALLSTAR!

We used Olympia for our wedding at the Museum of Fine Arts St. Pete and they did a great job! There is a lot to select from on their menu, and they did a great job with presentation, service, and making sure the food was hot, which must have been hard with a crowd as big as ours. Olympia is great!

Olympia's team was phenomenal!! and the food was such a hit for my guests. We wanted to serve greek/Mediterranean food and Sherry and her team provided exactly what we envisioned, we had a slider station with lamb and chicken, fresh falafels, salmon, hummus, spanakopita, and more! Olympia was highly recommended by our wedding planner and was pleased with the food and service.

I've been using Olympia Catering for years for corporate events. Most recently, I used them this week for a large leadership luncheon (45+ people) and for a smaller team meeting. They're always on time, professional and courteous, but the real reason I love using them is the food is outstanding (fantastic vegetarian and vegan options) and they're extremely thoughtful about their presentation & service. Highly recommend!

"Daren and his exceptional team orchestrated a culinary masterpiece for my husband's birthday celebration! The menu they crafted was not only delicious but also showcased their culinary expertise. The signature chicken, a true highlight, was impeccably moist and bursting with flavor. The hors d'oeuvres were a delightful prelude to the main course, and the dessert cups were an absolute crowd-pleaser.The attention to detail extended beyond just the menu. The set-up was flawlessly executed, creating an inviting atmosphere for our guests. Daren and his staff exhibited utmost professionalism, and their service was marked by an uncanny ability to anticipate and fulfill our every need.Our experience with Daren's catering left an indelible impression, making the celebration truly memorable. Kudos to Daren and his team for not only meeting but exceeding our expectations!"

Darren and his team always deliver. I have worked with them for the 10+ years on events large and small. Not once have I run into any issues or been disappointed. They are competitively priced and worth every penny. The menus are impressive and the best part is the food tastes AMAZING. Thanks to Olympia for always helping make our events a success!

Olympia Catering did a fantastic job catering for my wedding! From the beginning, Darren was spectacular to work with in every way. He was incredibly responsive to all of our needs and he offered great tips and insight. The food tasting they offered was very helpful in planning our menus for cocktail hour, as well as the reception. Darren's catering staff was also excellent to work with. I would highly recommend Darren and Olympia Catering to anyone planning an event!
