We used Miraglia Catering for our wedding at Preservation Park in Oakland a few weeks ago and we absolutely cannot say enough GREAT things about them. From the very first contact, they have been nothing but wonderful, responsive, prompt, and professional. We worked primarily with Janice to get all of the details ready for our big day and she was patient, kind, and responsive to every single email and call over the past year about little things, big things, and things we forgot to think about up until the last minute. Miraglia handled everything from linens, to bartenders, to glassware, to waitstaff, and everyone we met was absolutely wonderful.
Their prices are by far the best in the area so LOOK NO FURTHER, and their menu packages are incredibly customizable which allowed us to create exactly the wedding we envisioned, including late night breakfast sandwiches, (they were a hit to say the very least). The day of details like making plates for us so we didn't have to go through the buffet line, and sending us home with some late night snacks made us feel so taken care of, especially by Jim who genuinely made everything feel effortless and seamless.
Our guests had nothing but positive things to say about all of our food, including the vegans! We aren't planning on having a second wedding anytime soon, but we would certainly use Miraglia 100 more times if we could.

My wife and I used Miraglia/PicnicTime catering for our recent wedding. They did an OUTSTANDING job. We could not have been happier with the way everything went. We contacted Janice in the beginning and she took the time to listen to what we wanted and suggested things that would work better and gave us a nice breakdown of the way everything would happen the day of.
Leading up to the event was very easy. We were presented with all of our options and picked out what we wanted. We did a taste test with the chef Jim and were blown away by the presentation of the food and how everything tasted. We knew it was going to be a great day! The day of could not have gone better! We had an outdoor event and Miraglia/PicnicTime brought tables, chairs, linens, and biodegradable plates, silverware, etc, and it was all perfectly setup when we arrived.
All of the staff were amazing. Everyone loved the bartender and the servers were amazing, they even went out of their way to serve us (bride and groom) our own personal hors d'oeuvres. Nice touch! Everyone that came to the wedding loved the food! The passed hors d'oeuvres were delicious. I could have eaten so much more. The main dinner was buffet style and it looked beautiful and everything tasted just as good.
There was plenty of food for everyone and everyone kept telling us how good the food was, Brandon and Jim did an exemplary job! A week later people are still going out of their way to tell us how good the food and the staff was. After the party was over, they cleaned everything up for us, we didn't have to worry about anything they brought and it was like we were never there. Miraglia/PicnicTime made our special day perfect! They were outstanding and I would highly recommend them! I would give them 10 stars if at all possible!

We chose Miraglia Catering for our wedding in the Brazilian Room. There are simply awesome. Working with Janice was so easy and pleasant, they were so organized, made really good recommendations but weren't overbearing in their suggestions. They know the space really well, and I had absolutely no worries or stress about the food and drink service on the day of. The food was also delicious! We had a taco/burrito buffet bar with Jicama salad, I highly recommend it!

Miraglia catered my son's wedding reception. Karen was fantastic helping us select food, table linens, set-up and giving us a very detailed list of things to do before the big day. She was quick to respond to all our emails and phone calls. The staff the day of the reception was fantastic. Very professional and helpful. And the food was amazing. We had 4 appetizers and a full dinner. Everything was perfect.

Miraglia Catering is fantastic! Everyone on their staff was extremely helpful and wonderful to us at our wedding reception last Saturday. The food was superb and the presentation a work of art. I worked with Karen these last eight months or so in the planning stages of our reception and she made the entire process easy and stress-free. I would highly recommend Miraglia to anyone celebrating a special occasion!
