Testimonials

We had our cocktail hour and reception at Oliva and La Verona on the Hill on 9/25/21. We had a great experience working with Catering STL. Tina was our coordinator and worked hard to ensure that our day went exactly as planned. The venue was beautiful and the team at Catering STL was friendly and professional and we would recommend them to anyone.

The experience and evening were everything we dreamed of. Rhonda was amazing from quick communication to great solutions and awesome recommendations. She was also there whenever needed. I would highly recommend Rhonda, Oliva and Catering St. Louis. Thank you!

We had our ceremony and reception at the Missouri Botanical Garden and Tina with Catering St. Louis was amazing to work with! Our wedding was impacted by COVID-19 and Catering St. Louis truly went above and beyond to help us navigate changing our date and work within health and safety restrictions. On the day of the wedding, their staff was kind, professional, and incredibly helpful. We got lots of compliments on the food and service we received. I would absolutely recommend working with them for any event!

Good Morning Tina, now that we are back and more settled we wanted to say thank you for everything! Our wedding and reception turned out amazing! We could not have been more satisfied! Simple, chic and very intimate, exactly what we wanted. Thank you to everyone involved at Catering St. Louis that made our day so special. The staff were very accommodating and easy to work with. We (our guests included) can’t stop talking about how nice the evening was and how the event space was perfect.

Absolutely beautiful setting for a rehearsal dinner — and the food was delicious. They really let us customize the menu, seating and decorations, too.

Hi Lauren, my compliments to you and your staff for helping us to host a beautiful rehearsal dinner for my son and daughter-in-law. Everything was perfect — the beautiful venue, the delicious dinner and the efficient service exceeded our expectations. Thank you! Should we ever need to host another event, City Cottage will be our first choice.

Dear Sandy, we wanted to thank you for all that you did to make our wedding day perfect and fabulous! We really appreciated how organized you are and your attention to detail and how you strived to make sure everything met our expectations. A special thank you also for helping coordinate the special video surprise! We are very grateful for all that you did for us!

LOVE LOVE LOVE! Hidden gem on The Hill in St. Louis! I truly believe it was fate that brought my husband and I to have our wedding ceremony at Oliva on The Hill and our reception at La Verona at the Marketplace on 8.28.21! I have received so many compliments on how beautiful the venue was, in fact it has so much to offer you can spend less money on flowers and decorations. The service during the seated dinner was outstanding! Planning a wedding is so stressful, however, you are provided a venue wedding coordinator to help ensure a smooth process at the venue. I keep hearing “It was the best wedding I’ve ever been to.” I could not be happier!

After much frustration with venue scheduling and rescheduling my daughter and her fiancé chose this venue first for just the reception and then for the ceremony too. Tina was marvelous and responded to all of our concerns. The ceremony and reception were perfect. In the end we couldn’t have asked for anything better. The food was delicious and the service was friendly and very professional. We definitely feel like we got what we wanted & paid for.

Rhonda was excellent to work with! Food was fantastic – compliments to the Chef. She was awesome. Service the night of the rehearsal dinner was great. Very responsive and accommodating staff.

We couldn’t have asked for a better venue – the weather was perfect. Our guests were blown away by the beauty of the Garden. We had children there and it was a perfect place for them too. With the covid we had to change 3 times and Tina was great at handling the changes. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to work with. Everything was top notch!

Amazing! We cannot thank you enough for such a professional, outstanding event! Everyone was so accommodating and patient! When we walked in, everything was transformed into a welcoming, classy, and well-run reception. We felt well taken care of, special, and Rhonda and Eddie went above and beyond along with their staff in presentation, delicious food, set up, clean up, and overall great memories forever!

We were so excited to host the Rehearsal dinner for my son and his fiancé at the beautiful Oliva last week! Guests were overwhelmed by the fabulous culinary experience, luscious vine covered outdoor cocktail garden and over all welcoming ambiance of our very own private event space unlike any other in the City! The compliments never stopped and we were over the top pleased with the entire experience. Grazie Oliva!

My daughter’s wedding reception was amazing! Rhonda was so helpful throughout the whole process. I can’t say enough good about her! The servers were all around the room with anything we needed. Guests commented how good the servers were and food was delicious! I have already recommended Rhonda to a friend for an upcoming wedding.

Bailey, Andrew and I can’t thank you enough for making these nights possible and for all of your help along the way! We feel so lucky to have had the chance to work with you and for having Catering St. Louis as part of our wedding! Thank you again!

Dear Dana, Greg and I just wanted to say thank you so much for making the Rehearsal Dinner so special for all of our family and friends. You did such a wonderful job with arranging the tables and especially with the flowers. You certainly have many artistic talents! My compliments to the chef. The lemon chicken was so flavorful and the tiramisu was delicious. The staff was very hospitable and so professional. I highly recommend your venue for weddings and rehearsal dinners.

Dana & Bailey, we can’t thank you both enough! Thank you for helping make our day run so smoothly! Everything was perfect and our guests had nothing but amazing things to say about La Verona, Oliva and the AMAZING food!

Hi Rhonda, I wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for all you did leading up to our wedding and the day itself to make it such a special day. You helped everything go so smoothly and our reception looked amazing! I am so thankful for all the work you did, especially with all this craziness going on right now. The day was really so much more than I dreamed.
