What Clients Are Saying About Us

Wow what can I say! There are no words that could describe the amazing service provided by Little Mushroom Catering... All night, I had all of my guests raving about the food. There was both vegan and GF options and I heard from multiple people that the Vegan and GF food is the best they have ever had. I would use LMC anytime I needed an event catered. They were also more than caterers, they assisted with set up, coordinating and just making my dream wedding possible.

Michaela Clark

As a frontline workers we received delicious meals today at the Radisson. Thank you so so much! These acts of kindness and thoughtfulness lifts our spirits! Highly recommend, the food is amazing.

Hannah Charbonneau

She always responded promptly and gave her recommendations when asked. I am so entirely happy with our caterer choice and would 100% recommend LMC to any bride or groom without any hesitation!

Chantel NowakBride

Everything was delicious, elegant and obviously prepared with care and pride. All of the staff at Little Mushroom Catering were professional, yet out-going and energetic.

Troy Nowe

Little Mushroom made a beautiful birthday cake for my daughter for her birthday. Not only was it beautiful (and also delicious), it was also safe for her for friends with severe nut allergies so that everyone could be included. Thanks so much!!

Melissa Chios

What I most appreciate... is her ability to listen to our catering and event needs and come up with creative ideas to fulfill those needs... She provided exactly what we needed, in the time we needed, at the quality we need, all on budget, and our guests raved about the food!
