    “Lula Cafe Catering was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding! Their communication was thorough and accommodating of my food allergies - they customized a full gluten and dairy free menu that left all our guests raving. The quality and flavor of the food was incredible, with rich, mouthwatering dishes like the meatballs that I'm still dreaming about! They perfectly brought my vision to life in both the delicious dinner and thoughtful staff and setup.

Everyone we worked with was a delight, both during the planning process and on the day of our wedding (we initially worked with Katherine and then Jennifer in the final stretch before the wedding). Throughout the planning process, both points of contact were always quick to respond to our queries, on top of any changes we should be aware of, and generally a pleasure to work with. I got a ton of compliments from our guests on both the quality of the food and the quality of the service, and I can't think of a thing I would have changed about their work. 10000% recommend!”
