 Hello,

I'm not having a 'traditional' wedding reception, I've decided to have a party after my wedding.  I have a venue that is very nice butI have to bring in my own food.  I'm not looking for anything extravagant but want the food to be tasty.  I'm thinking about doing Magianno's.  Has anyone used them offsite?  I would have to hire servers to take care of everything but wanted to see if anyone has gone this route.

Thanks!

 I thought of doing what you are doing, except I thought about having the party at Maggiano's. I decided against it because they would have charged us just $10 less pp than what I am paying at the venue I ended up selecting.

I haven't hired them to do off-site catering. I went to an engagement party there a few years ago and the food and service were excellent.

 We had our wedding reception "catered" by Maggianos and it was AMAZING!!  It was inexpensive (compared to other caterers) and the food was really tasty-

 Although I have not done this myself, nor been to a reception there, I've had friends do it and it was great! Their food is awesome and the private room is usually rather large. You could probably save money by serving family style, too. Good luck & congrats!

Hi Littlerdhed!


I would love love love it if you would give me some pointers on what you did, how it went, and what (if anything) you would do differently.  Pretty Please?!?  I think it's a great idea and works well with my budget.  You can let me know here or email me:
