We got married at a private home in Carmel Valley, and MIRTH handled the food. I honestly can’t say enough good things. From the start, they just got it. The menu was seasonal, creative, and so well thought out—it felt like a true reflection of the area and the time of year. Our guests were blown away. The roasted vegetables, the miso salmon, the burrata—it was all delicious and beautifully presented without being fussy. The team was warm, professional, and totally in sync with the vibe we were going for. Everything ran smoothly, and I actually got to relax and enjoy the day knowing we were in great hands. So grateful for MIRTH. They made something really special feel easy.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Glad Mouf for catering my wedding, and I am so glad I did! From the very beginning, their communication was seamless and professional. They listened carefully to all my needs and provided thoughtful suggestions that made the entire process stress-free. The team at Glad Mouf truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect for my special day. The food was absolutely incredible! The oxtail was tender and flavorful, cooked to perfection with a rich, savory sauce that had just the right amount of seasoning. Every bite was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The crab fried rice was another standout—packed with juicy crab meat and a delicious combination of flavors. It was the perfect balance of savory and just the right amount of richness. I’ve had many versions of crab fried rice, but this one was top-tier. As for the overall experience, the quality and value of their work were exceptional. The portions were generous, and the food was served fresh and hot, even though they were catering to a large crowd. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how amazing the food was. Glad Mouf’s dedication to their craft really shone through, and they contributed to making my wedding day even more memorable. If you’re looking for top-notch BBQ and seafood, I highly recommend Glad Mouf. They will elevate any event with their great food and excellent service!

"Literally The Best Wedding Food I've Ever Had." -Guest at our wedding If you are even thinking about booking Americano for your wedding, stop thinking and DO IT. Hiring them was single-handedly the best decision we made in our entire wedding planning process. We knew we wanted our food to be a highlight, not an afterthought, and the Americano team delivered a culinary experience that was beyond our wildest dreams. Our guests are still raving about it weeks later! From our very first inquiry, their catering manager (Beni) and team were an absolute dream to work with. They were responsive, incredibly organized, and genuinely excited about creating a menu that felt personal to us. They took our vision and elevated it with creative ideas, turning the tasting into one of our favorite pre-wedding memories. They made the entire process feel completely seamless and stress-free. Now, let's talk about the food on the wedding day. Show-stopping. We had the burrata with prosciutto and fig jam for a starter, and people were losing their minds over how fresh and flavorful it was. For mains, the slow-braised short rib literally melted in your mouth, and the sea bass was cooked to absolute perfection. It wasn't just "good wedding food"—it was exceptional food, period. The presentation was stunning, the ingredients were top-tier, and everything was served hot and flawlessly. Multiple guests—including our pickiest family members—pulled us aside to say it was the most delicious and memorable meal they had ever had at a wedding. Americano didn't just cater our wedding; they created an unforgettable experience that became a core memory of our celebration. They are worth every single penny and then some for the impact they will have on your day. Book them. You will be so, so happy you did!

We ordered Tuck Ins to put in our wedding guest gift bags at the hotel. Tuck Ins was easy to work with, delivered in a timely manner, and all of our guests loved having something delicious and made by a local Philly company. If we were to get married again, I think we would include Tuck Ins at the dessert table and let the guests roast them at the reception. Would highly recommend!
