“Thank you so much for your spectacular service.  Every step of the planning process and wedding day were easy with your fantastic staff.  Our guests had a wonderful time and were constantly complimenting the great food and service. Our expectations were far exceeded and our reception went perfectly.  Thank you for taking the stress out of wedding planning!”

“From the very first minute we talked with the wedding coordinator, you could tell that something was different about working with Ovation Catering.  They always made you feel as if you were the only couple they were working with and that we had their undivided attention, no matter how seemingly endless the questions.  We both felt our minds were at ease with such personal and caring staff.  When the big day came, the countless hours of planning every single detail was handed off to a very professional staff that executed it beautifully.  Our night was perfect and all or our guests made sure to let us know how impressed they were. (They seemed shocked that nothing went wrong!)  We cannot think of a better place or better people to have worked with as we started our new lives together.”

“From the beginning of the planning many, many months ago right up till we packed away the last of the gifts, we had such a good experience with you.  You delivered what you promised in every way.  No one walked away from his or her table hungry.  This meant a lot to us as many people judge a “successful” reception by the food!  There was always someone around to offer a glass of champagne, to serve food, remove a plate or provide directions, all without being intrusive.  Your employees are also so very courteous!  I honestly cannot think of one thing that was even a minor disappointment in our working with you.  From gorgeous weather to a very emotional ceremony and then a spectacular reception – everything made for a lifetime of cherished memories for the bride and groom, as well as many others.  Thank you for your large part in that!”

“Working with the staff at Ovation Catering to plan our wedding reception from San Francisco was a pleasant and professional experience from start to finish.  The event manager was extremely easy to work with via e-mail and phone and she always found time to meet with us whenever we flew into Milwaukee for whirlwind planning visits.  The crew at Ovation helped us take care of every last detail and were very accommodating with our special needs and requests.  A ‘standing O’ to Ovation Catering for helping us to achieve a wedding reception beyond our expections!”

“In the seventeen months I have been at the Florentine Opera, I have been consistently impressed with the job that Bill Lohr and all of the folks at Ovation Catering have some for our events. The food (and wide variety of menus) has been delicious with classy presentation; the bar service excellent; and all of the wait and support staff have been top shelf across the board. It has given me a feeling of ease to know that this very important part of our special events will go off without a hitch!”

THANK YOU!"

“Michelle Carman & Bill Lohr were the best. I have the utmost confidence that things will go smoothly when planning an event with Ovation Catering. Michelle is always pleasant to work with, helpful and patent. Especially when our numbers are still changing the day before the event. Bill too is always very nice and helpful.”

“I give it an A+! Michelle, Bill, Linda and all of the staff do a fabulous job. All 390 attending luncheon guests before Doc’s performance were very pleased with the food, service and appearance of the room. I have been working with Ovation Catering for over 20 years and know I can rely on their wonderful staff and food to make all of my events stress free.”
