Testimonials “I was super pleased with the entire process with Milo’s Catering! Communication was easy, the staff was ready to answer any questions I had, and was willing to make the day as special as possible. The food options provided a nice variety, unique choices, and very yummy! Our guests really loved the food we picked. Come the night of the event, the staff was very nice and accommodating. I would recommend Milo’s to all!” -- Kelly, June 2015
“We used Milo’s as our caterer for our June wedding and have nothing but positive comments from our friends and family. The food was outstanding and their staff was extremely courteous, friendly, and efficient. We had multiple guests with varying food restrictions (from vegetarian, gluten, carrot, celery, and soy) and they gave us personalized notes on what each guest should avoid eating. Milo’s attention to detail was phenomenal” -- Rebecca, August 2016
