Reviews of The Deco Catering (Event Planner)

Samantha Bossman

The Deco Catering did a magnificent job planning a plated meal for a work luncheon. Guests were delighted with the presentation and taste of the food, and I found them organized and easy to coordinate with. I will keep them in mind for my future events.

My husband and i hired Deco for our wedding. We had gone to so many food tastings, and were so disappointed that i didn't think this one would turn out either. My husband couldn't make it but my sisters and i went to taste Deco's food and we just fell in love. Almost every other food tasting we went to they were serving us pasta and heavy foods. If there is one thing i think people shouldn't be eating at a wedding is pasta. The head table had gotten the Beef Tenderloin and my husband is a VERY picky meat eating and he couldnt stop eating it. Every wedding i have ever been to i've been highly disappointed with the food, but this was just hands down some of the best food i've ever ate. I'd rank it up there with Gordon Ramsay and Wolfgang Pucks food. Highly recommended. The staff they hire is just wondering as well. If you want something that's better than the traditional wedding dish, and people will talk about for a long time. Hire Deco Catering.

We had Deco cater for our wedding, the food was amazing! Many of our guests commented on how great the food tasted. Deco was very easy to work with. They were very accommodating and had excellent service. We would highly recommend them for your wedding or event!

We just had Deco cater a big family event with over 200 guests----it is SUCH a great company. They put on an amazing buffet; they listened to what we wanted; they suggested affordable options. Every employee was a joy to have at the event; a special shout-out to Heather Asbury, who was our point person. We chose Deco because we had been to a wedding a few years ago that they catered and we were bowled over by their food. After we hired them, we were bowled over by both their food AND their professionalism. This company is a local gem.

The Deco was absolutely amazing! I am SO glad we chose them as our wedding caterers. The food was amazing (unlike a lot of bland and unexciting wedding food), the portions were HUGE and the presentation was top notch. Each plate was beautifully arranged and decorated despite mass creating for the whole wedding. Our guests said over and over how amazing the food was. Only thing I am bummed about is that they don't have a restaurant!! I would love to grab another meal :) We had the beef tenderloin, vegetable trottle and garlic chive chicken. 10/10

We had a brunch style wedding in August 2019, and kept it simple and we had a budget, and DECO nailed it. We really didnt get to eat much on the day, but what we did eat was fantastic. The display was perfect! After our wedding our guests raved about the quiche and crepes that we had. So made was even more pleased with deco that our choice of food was excellent!! When we had to finalize our meal, they even suggest to switch one thing to help save us some money with the number of guest we had. Which was wonderful! Very pleased and if need to cater again, we would use deco. Very reasonable in prices too!!

FABULOUS! FANTASTIC! FAVORITE! After attending three beautiful, delicious dinners catered by Deco Catering for 250+ guests we hired Deco to cater a Benefit Dinner for Kenya Children’s Fund for 100 guests. Working with Heikki Rouvinen, Partner, was easy and enjoyable. He listened well and responded promptly to our questions and requests. One person with many years of catering experience as an owner and as a guest said, “This was the best catered dinner she had ever seen and eaten.” Indeed it was! The presentation of a lovely mixed-berry salad followed by a unique presentation of the entrée and dessert brought smiles of delight. All three entrees received highest compliments from the guests. Service was professional on every level… tastefully uniformed wait staff served quickly and graciously and responded to accommodate all requests. On-site preparation and plating was shielded from view and was quiet. The on-site banquet manager handled questions and special needs promptly and effectively. The entire food service flowed and presented an exquisite prelude and background for the work of the Benefit Dinner. The biggest surprise was the immaculate condition in which the Deco crew left the kitchen in every corner—including washing the floor! For our next event we will definitely use Deco Catering— They have earned these accolades through their expert, competent, professional catering—Food that is beautiful to look at, delicious and unique— 5 GOLD STARS AND MORE ***** THANK YOU DECO CATERING ! Kindest Regards, Stanley W. Bakke

They catered our daughters wedding recently. I was so impressed with their delicious food! One of the best meals I have ever eaten. The guests commented on how delicious it was as well. I was also impressed with how beautiful the buffet of food was displayed. They made it look like art! So colorful and lots of shapes and textures. They were always there to help when someone asked for something and went above and beyond our expectations. I recommend them highly!

We chose Deco Catering for our wedding on 6/14/15 at The Fountain Room @ Lumber Exchange, MN and we were so pleased with the food they served. All our guests have been telling us about how delicious the food was. Deco staff was very responsive and detail oriented since the very beginning. They were very accommodating as well, given that my wedding was an Indian American wedding and I needed Indian Vegetarian food in the buffet. Every single dish at the buffet was presented and served so well. If I could go back to my wedding day, I would eat more of the food they served, it was that delicious. They are super easy to work with. They always made me feel that it was all about us and how we wanted our wedding day to be in terms of food. We liked their services so much that we are hoping to work with them in the future too. I would totally recommend Deco to the brides and grooms out there.

They catered my wedding in 2015 and the food and service was amazing our guest still to this day talk about the food we will definitely use them again ❤️

The Deco Catering prepared and served our wedding dinner. And we were so impressed! Our wedding was large -- nearly 350 people -- and we had a lot of foodies in the room. We needed a catering team that could really impress and execute our vision. Heikki and Soleil (and team) totally succeeded. Their food was delicious and had wide appeal; the service staff was professional and gracious; and the planning and prep services by Heikki were top notch. Their team has a causal style -- which we appreciated, given the intense nature of wedding planning -- yet they executed with great precision. You won't be disappointed by this team!

Ok, can I just say ‘the most phenomenal’ caterer and vendor to work with? I mean, these guys were absolutely awesome. The food was fantastic, especially as wedding food goes, everyone was so pleasant and professional. Most beautiful and tasty fresh cranberry and blue cheese salad. Not to mention that these guys really took care of me (the wedding photographer for the day), and my 2nd shooter. They brought our food out first so we could finish eating before speeches started. I was done just in time to photograph again the rest of the night (speeches, cake fitting, dances). Thank you so much! You guys were an absolute pleasure to work with. I hope we have another repeat soon with another one of my brides. You’re definitely going on my recommended vendor list. If you’re a bride looking for a caterer, these guys are great! Hire them!! :)

Deco catered our wedding and they were amazing to work with! The food was phenomenal and the planning process was so easy (& fun!). Danielle was my main point of contact during the planning process and she was so amazing - responsive and reliable! I would definitely recommend Deco for your next event! Thank you so much!

Matthew Kaul

Deco catered a large (~700 people) event for us, and did an exceptional job for a reasonable price. The food was excellent and the staff was incredibly polite, responsive, and knowledgeable. Our guests were blown away by the quality of the food. Highly recommended!

I am a musician whose band plays for a lot of weddings. Needless to say I eat a lot of different food at these events. Last night we played for a wedding that was catered by the friendly folks from Deco. This was by far the best catered food I've yet to have since I've been playing or attending weddings, which has been 20+ years. The menu was healthy, by request of the grooms family. The salads, fruit plates and side dishes were wonderfully prepared and displayed along with perfect salad dressing choices. The main dishes were either steak and/or salmon. The buffet style line that was set up allowed you to have both. They were cooked to perfection and melted in my mouth when I ate them. If you're looking to hire a caterer for your wedding or event, look no farther. Take it from some one who's eaten a lot of catered food. Your guests will rave about their experience if you hire these folks.

Always amazing! Heikki the manager is kind, so helpful and always available. Always a hit!

Lisa Denniston

AMAZING!!!! Seriously amazing. They were willing to work with our budget and wishes to have a different wedding menu. We did burgers and pretzels! They are super responsive and do a great job. Especially Heather Asbury. She is amazing and literally gets back to you within an hour every time. Ask to work with her. Literally my favorite person/vendor out of everyone who I had to deal with during 18 months of wedding planning. HIGHLY recommend!

Anna DeSalvo

Deco was so great to work with. They went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect and were so accommodating to all of our requests. They were incredibly reasonably priced, and the food was absolutely amazing! We got married 1.5 months ago and people are still telling us that they had the best food they've ever had at a wedding at our reception. We definitely recommend them!

Emily Punyko

Amazing food and the BEST CAKE EVER! Deco catered our wedding and everyone was so helpful and kind and my guests complimented everything about the food. Especially the salmon. Ugh. So good!!!

Andrea Wojciechowski

Heikki and his team do amazing work, and I would highly recommend Deco for any catered event in the Twin Cities. The food tasted wonderful and has the appearance of being high end. The wait staff were very kind and professional. My husband and I used them for our wedding and were truly blown away by their level of service!
