Fortuna’s Catering was so incredible to work with. They helped me craft the perfect summer pool party menu for my mom’s 60th birthday! We had lobster rolls, crab cake, shrimp cocktail, and more for very reasonable prices! They were kind, accommodating, and the food was DELICIOUS! Everyone was raving about it. I can’t wait to use them again for another special gathering. Oh, and they delivered it all to us!!
Kristin, Nancy and their team catered a graduation/70th birthday celebration for 60 people. From our first contact to the final clean up, they were professional, thorough, and excellent in every way. The food was delicious and beautifully arranged. I will definitely call them again for future events.
Down to the details of table setting and atmosphere, our small and intimate wedding was made only more special with our choice of caterers for the event- Fortuna's. They are so, so good at what they do- and the food is out of this world. Everything went so smoothly and beautifully, you couldn't have scripted a more perfect meal with our dearest friends and family members. We cannot recommend Fortuna's highly enough.
We hired Fortuna's Catering for our wedding and they were INCREDIBLE. From the first interaction with Kristin and Nancy, I knew they would be exceptional to work with. When we discussed our budget, vision, and goals for catering services, they really listened and provided us with several options that worked within our means. They had excellent communication, responding almost instantly to any questions and provided us with honest recommendations that were incredibly helpful in the planning process. More importantly, the food was DELICIOUS!!! My husband and I couldn't stop thinking about the food from our tasting and wish we could go back to our wedding just to eat more of their food!!! Additionally, the presentation of the food was AMAZING!!!! They really went above and beyond and I would HIGHLY recommend them for any event, specifically a wedding!!!
Fortuna’s catered our wedding in September 2024 and truly blew us away. Kristin and Nancy are absolutely amazing - they were communicative, provided guidance, and weee flexible every step of the way. From personalizing the menu to adding in our own twists, they were ready for anything! We are thrilled with the variety and quality of the appetizers and stations they provided for our wedding. The food was absolutely delicious which should be a give-in with any caterer, but it’s the extra layers of attention & love that they add that really sets them apart. No part of me was stressed about the food or bar at all on my big day because I knew we were in the best hands. Their team of servers and bartenders were phenomenal - making sure to check if we needed anything and making sure we got to try every bite throughout the night! Nancy & Kristin truly are the best - not just because their food is delicious, but because of their authenticity and the passion they put into their services. The personal touches that they added to our day bought me to tears and will be some of my most cherished memories from our wedding!
A friend hired Fortuna Catering for her 40th bday dinner in her home for about 12 people. They were exceptional. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and they were so curteous and professional. Every course was just exquisite, and the range of cuisines they were able to execute to high standards was impressive. Our dinner was vegetarian, and two guests had dietary limitations (gluten and soy) and they were able to seamlessly accomodate these special requests and provide such a special dining experience for everyone. What a gem. Highly, highly recommend!
Nancy and Kristin and the entire Fortuna's Catering team helped make our event perfect! Nancy and Kristin helped plan our anniversary party menu which included many back-and-forth emails. They were always available and ready to answer any questions we had! On the day of the party, the team handled it all! We didn't have to worry about a single thing. From putting out plates, silverware, and food set up, to coordinating meal times, making sure my husband and I get first dibs, and all everything in between. Each team member was kind and helpful! The most important part.. THE FOOD. We had hor d'oeuvres, a main meal, and dessert catered by Fortuna's, and when I tell you everyone complimented the food...it was AMAZING! Some of the fan favorites were the grilled peach and burrata on crostini, chicken and waffles with maple cream, the mini sliders, the smores bites, and the affogato bar! Everything was so tasty, the temperatures were perfect, and the food options were so fun and out of the "party norms" that you usually get at events which made it even better for a crowd! Fortuna's is the place to go when you want really fun and tasty food options and amazing customer service!
Nancy, Kristin, and the team at Fourtuna’s Catering are awesome. Over several years, we have catered family events, work, events, special family meals, and Fortuna’s delivers a consistently high level of care, creativity, and attention to detail.As a nonprofit fundraiser, Fortuna’s Catering is a fantastic partner in planning for an event, often bringing creative ideas to the table and striving to deliver presentation that is on-theme, fun, dynamic, and unique. I also LOVE their seasonal party menus shared over social media! Good people making great food and caring about both their clients and the community. We appreciate this team.
I was very disappointed with my experience with Fortuna's catering. I spent over $400, and did not receive even close to that in value.To start: $150 went towards the liquor license, and bins. First off, it was only two bins and they were both pretty small and they were lined with actual garbage bags. They didn't hold nearly enough drinks, and they looked cheap and messy. I never asked specifically how many bins, so fine maybe that's on me, but the garbage bags are ridiculous for a catering company to be passing off as acceptable. The only other thing I can say is, fine, we can pretend that the bins we're just an add-on to the liquor license and I shouldn't have expected much, but at the very least they need to be clear what they are providing. I shouldn't have to guess.Second, I paid another $100 for ice and cups. I received two bags of ice and about 45 cups. That feels like a scam, and I'm appalled that they feel comfortable charging that. If I knew better I would have just picked up ice and cups myself. At a cost of $100 I expected nicer cups and more of them, and a better setup than two bags of ice.Lastly, I paid $140 for a charcuterie board. Granted, that's not far off price wise, but half of the meat on the tray looked old and inedible. The salami was gray. I had MULTIPLE guests mention it. It was left mostly untouched because guests were THAT grossed out by the tray as a whole.I am so so disappointed that I spent such a large amount of money for stuff that was more trouble than it was worth. I had high hopes because my initial emails seemed promising but it was a horrible experience. I do not recommend the company at all.EDIT: I have since received a refund for the charcuterie board.
As huge foodies we knew when we began planning our wedding, that finding the right caterers would be the most important for us. From the mouthwatering food stations to the fully stocked bar, our wedding day was a phenomenal thanks to our amazing caterers turned besties :)Since our first chat with Kristin & Nancy, we were struck by their warmth, passion, and genuine dedication to making our wedding day extraordinary. They attentively listened to our vision, taking note of our preferred cuisines, dietary restrictions, and personal tastes. The food stations were a highlight of the event, offering a variety of flavors and culinary delights. Each station was meticulously designed and impeccably presented, showcasing the expertise and artistry of the duo. The quality of the ingredients was evident in every bite, and our guests were mesmerized!What truly sets our caterers apart, however, is the incredible friendship that has blossomed from our wedding day. They not only exceeded our expectations with their culinary expertise but also embraced us as friends! Their warmth, genuine care, and positive energy is contagious, making the entire planning process a breeze.We are forever grateful for the friendship and remarkable experience we shared with our caterers. Their commitment to excellence, attention to detail, and ability to create unforgettable moments truly sets them apart. If you're searching for caterers who will not only create a delectable feast but also become an integral part of your wedding journey, we wholeheartedly recommend Fortuna's! They will exceed your expectations and leave you with cherished memories that extend far beyond the dining table : )

If I could give Fortunas 100 stars it still wouldn’t be enough. They are truly the most amazing cateringteam. They catered my beach wedding this past Saturday with food for Sunday after party as well. The food was talked about constantly by all of our guests and I had 3 people ask for their information for parties they are hosting. Besides the high quality food the service was truly incomparable. The servers were so kind and helpful so above and beyond anything you could ever expect. To the point I have a video of one of the servers helping me with my train when I was walking down the stairs. And they actively engaged all our guests in Polaroids that we had for candids. These are not things they are paid or asked to do and yet they did it with huge smiles on their face. I do not have enough words for how helpful Nancy and Kristen were from start to finish in this process. I ask a lot of questions and they even responded to me while on vacation! I had the wedding of my dreams and it would have never been even close to possible without the superior team of Fortunas catering. Can’t wait to work with them again!
We had Fortuna's Catering cater our wedding reception and have zero doubts we picked the best people for the job!Working with Kristin and Nancy from the get go was just easy. They both were very responsive, accommodating to our needs (and those of our guests), and just plain great to work with. They were flexible and were able to even meet us at our venue of choice for a tasting/discussion of menu options.The food was absolutely stunning and their social media content captures it accurately! Our guests devoured everything and kept talking about how fantastic all the food and drink offerings were. Most importantly, they refused to let us miss any of it. They ensured we were brought plates of everything no matter where in our wedding venue we might have been hiding. Their expertise, great staff, and professionalism really helped our day go smoothly and our tummies all satisfied. I would never hesitate to utilize them again for catering needs and you should reach out immediately if you need a caterer!
