Nelson's Catering, Inc.

“We have worked with Nelson's for several years on many large and small events. They provide excellent customer service and want to make sure we are completely satisfied. They like to offer new choices and keep changing things up. They are concerned about quality, presentation and flavor, while always keeping our budget in mind. They make it easy.”

“The food was great, as usual! I definitely want to compliment the young man who delivered and set up. He was here a little early and set up quickly. We were able to eat right at 11 a.m.”

“Thank you so much for being our lunch sponsor today for our Conflict Management Seminar.  Your delivery / set up person, Tyler did a great job and was there early! 😊”

“We want to thank you for your hard work and dedication to making our Black History Ball a huge success. Kim, Amy, and the staff were amazing, and the food was exceptional. You all were a joy to work with from the very beginning. We look forward to having the privilege of working with Nelson's again!”

“Everything was fabulous as usual. I had the pork, Sandy had the chicken, and everyone agreed the potatoes were to die for! And your staff is always wonderful. Wish we could have you every conference!”

“We used Nelson’s Catering for our wedding last weekend and could not recommend them enough! Wanda was amazing with answering my 100’s of questions prior to the event, and then the staff the day of were great. Huge shoutout to our bartenders, they were absolutely amazing!! The food was so delicious (everyone said the meatballs and crab cakes were their favorite so highly recommend!). We can’t thank them enough for making our wedding so great!”

“We had Nelson's cater our wedding and provide bar service and we could not be happier! We worked with Wanda and she led us through the whole process and helped us design a great evening! She worked one-on-one with us and handled multiple change requests and customizations along the way. In the end, the food was delicious and creative - just like the tasting promised, and the catering staff were all professional and fun to work with. Nelson's was great with everything!”

“My daughter was married this weekend. Nelsons catered the meal. It was delicious. The workers were discreet and did a wonderful job. The office staff in the lead up to the wedding were so professional and helpful. The bride and groom would not have changed a thing. We got many compliments on the food and helpful staff. We are so thankful we booked Nelsons.”

“Nelson's catered Taylorville Evangelical Free Church's Valentine's Party at Osbern Acres. a great place to have an event. The meal was delicious; many of the guests commented on it. We served it ourselves but it was set-up for us and they provided everything we needed. We were not sure what to expect for the table service so we were prepared but it is nice heavy disposable table service and looks like nice silver ware. Thank you again for the expert ordering from Mindy Beeler and the delivery and set-up young lady.”

“We were delighted with the meal and the service, and the teachers are loving the leftovers. Everything was excellent. We'd love to work with you again next year. I'll let you know as soon as we get a date on the calendar.”

“The food was outstanding, and our guests couldn't stop raving about it. One guest mentioned the Grilled Sirloin with Poblano Cream Sauce was so tender it melted in your mouth... Overall, the experience exceeded our expectations, and I highly recommend this caterer for any event.”

“We used Nelson's for a week long seminar in Springfield. The food was delicious, the staff was exceptionally professional, helpful and friendly...and the pricing was absolutely reasonable. We will use them again. Highly recommend.”

“Nelson's catered our company holiday gathering. Austin did a great job setting everything up for us and our staff enjoyed the food. Highly recommend Nelson's for any event you may have coming up!”

“The Illini Dads had a fantastic experience with Mindy and the Nelson's Catering team for our University of Illinois Dads' Association Football Tailgate in November 2025. Nelson's served our 700 guests a delicious breakfast. Everything was fresh, abundant, and we all enjoyed the warm food on such a cold day. Mindy was responsive, professional, and a lifesaver at times. As a nonprofit supporting UIUC students through scholarships and grants, we're so grateful for how their great work helped make our event a success. We're already excited to work with Nelson's again this year. Highly recommend!”
