LaVera Catering 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Starts at $45
  • Serves Mentor, OH

In 1952, Larry and Vera Gaudio, our grandparents and the founders of LaVera Party Center, launched a catering business that quickly became known for its homemade Italian cuisine. They were committed to using only the finest ingredients, crafting every dish with care. Today, three generations later, we’re proud to continue their legacy, serving up the same timeless recipes with the same dedication to quality.

“Food is one of the most important parts of a wedding, and La Vera did NOT disappoint. Carl and his team are professionals and go above and beyond to cater to their guests. Holly specifically was one of a kind to work with to make our wedding day spectacular! Her attention to details does not go unnoticed, and strives to make sure all guests are well taken care of. Many of our guests had special food requests and allergies, and the La Vera team under Holly managed them with ease. As the bride, I had one simple request for food on my wedding day, and that was a side of macaroni and cheese. Holly replied “Absolutely!” with no hesitation for this request, even though it isn’t on their menu. When my husband and I entered our reception area and took our seats at our sweetheart table, there was a bowl of macaroni and cheese already waiting for us alongside our salads. La Vera’s food is delicious, it comes out hot and in a timely manner, and so happy we chose them for our food catering! Our guests still talk about how tender their beef was! We will definitely use La-Vera again for our catering needs, I couldn’t recommend them enough!”

“Word of Mouth BBQ was exceptional and we had them for our wedding reception this September. We actually were at another wedding that they catered originally and the food was fantastic so we decided to hire them for our reception. We worked with Cheryl the owner of the company from the beginning and she was so lovely to work with and talk to. She answered all of our questions, was so helpful and the communication was absolutely fantastic the entire time. For the amazing quality of food they provide they are in my opinion extremely affordable. Our guests could not stop complimenting us on how good the food was. Their team of workers were onsite cooking the food at our venue all day, then worked so hard all night long to take care of us. They were organized and really great at what they do from the setup to serving the over 200 guests and keeping that flow going well, restocking, making sure we had everything we needed, to clean up and packing up. They were all so nice and you could tell how hard they all worked during that day. Truly word of mouth, could not recommend them enough and hope we can continue to use them in the future again. We still cannot get over how consistent and delicious their food is every single time we have it and are so happy with chose them for our catering services.”
