Falco's Catering was AMAZING to work with for our wedding. It's normally challenging and stressful to plan a wedding, but working with Falco's made it as stress-free as possible. From the initial communications with Alissa in setting up the big day, she was quick with responses and gave wonderful recommendations as we were trying to figure out the details for the big day. Our Maitre D, Lisa, and the whole catering team spotlessly executed all the details to make our special day so memorable. Everyone was raving about how good the food was and how friendly the whole staff was. I would HIGHLY recommend using Falco's to cater your wedding or upcoming events.

We are so glad that we used Falco's Catering for our wedding. Heather was extremely helpful and patient with us. She took her time to help us with our menu to ensure we had enough for everyone without under or over doing it. The amount of food was perfect and it was delicious! My husband comes from an Italian family and they were very pleased with the food. We will definitely be using Falco's for our future events and we highly recommend them!

We used Falco's as our caterers for an off site wedding. We got the Mini Meals package and it was spectacular. Falco's went above and beyond expectations with every piece. Picking the hors d'oeuvres was really fun and each and every one was a HIT, we highly recommend the crab cake (many of our guests told us it was the best they've ever had). The mini meals were amazing and the execution was impressive, my wife and I are still talking about the Salmon with Rice Pilaf and Herb Beurre Blanc, over a week later.

They made bar selection and provision a breeze by ordering and picking up from the liquor store, and we didn't have to pay more than was drank or opened. Their staff were attentive and courteous. Our guests loved the soft pretzel at the end of the night too!

Falco's Catering was absolutely amazing. The food was delicious and plentiful, Renee - our maitre d' was a life-saver and made sure that I didn't have to think or worry about a thing the entire night. She took care of all the last minute details that I either forgot or didn't get to in time. The servers were just lovely, very present and accommodating and we can't thank everyone enough for dealing with the unexpected heat wave.

All of my guests raved about the food and the cocktail style party experience. Alissa was so helpful throughout the entire process and made planning easy. I have zero negatives to report and will 100% recommend Falcos for excellent food and top-notch service.

I had events years ago at Falco's for charity and had an amazing experience so decided to use them for my wedding. Alissa was wonderful and took the time with us to make sure everything we wanted happened. They were so accommodating during Covid as we had to reschedule. Our wedding day was perfect our maitre d' Renee was absolutely the BEST! Our guests loved the food and service and many said it was the best experience they had of any weddings they had been to. I would recommend Falco's ten millions times over for any event you are planning!

Falco's is the best. My retirement event had to be rescheduled several times due to COVID. Heather was flexible and always encouraged me to reschedule as often as needed, so my family and friends would feel comfortable The contract was easy, understandable and explained to me throughout this process. The hors d'oeuvres were plentiful and delicious. The food was excellent, prepared to perfection My captain, bartender and staff were so accommodating and so professional.

They were friendly and willing to go beyond their necessary duties. This entire experience was the best, making my special day one that I will remember forever. I encourage anyone wanting to have an event in their lives celebrated, go to Falco's. Thank you
