My husband and I flew all the way from Iceland during a pandemic to attend my mothers wedding, only to get food poisoning from this once stellar company. Im writing this review today to share my personal experience with any upcoming folks who may consider Michaels Catering for their next event. The wedding reception was held at the St. Michaels Center / Hall in Oregon Ohio on March 13th 2021 and Michaels Catering is the contracted company, therefore they had to be used. Which in previous years for other events our family has had (weddings, graduations, funerals, holiday parties

Alex and I used Michaels catering for our wedding back on October 22, 2021. We were impressed with everything. The food was amazing along with the service and bartending. We couldnt have asked for a better caterer. Everyone had nothing but wonderful things to say about the food. It was so good.
