Where do I even begin?! We got married on 2.9.22 at the Treasury on the Plaza in St. Augustine. Ericka is literally one of the nicest and sweetest people we had come across during our wedding planning. We knew that we wanted the food at our wedding to be unique and to stand out and Mai Oui did not disappoint. We must have sent over 100 emails to Ericka about what we wanted at our wedding and the Mai Oui team came up with the most unique and innovative food offerings we had ever seen at a wedding.
From Mexican street corn lollipops during cocktail hour to herb butter candles set out on the tables for dinner to a late night snack poutine bar; Mai Oui went above and beyond to ensure that our food was amazing and something that people would talk about. We can't say enough amazing things about Ericka, Mai Oui, and the entire team that served our wedding. We are still talking about the food and it's almost a month later!

We worked with Ericka Yeager and her team at Mai Oui! and we knew we were in the best and most competent hands from our first tasting to the end of our wedding reception. Ericka is experienced, smart, professional, and exceptional at her job. We felt very comfortable talking about food options and giving feedback with her. She knew what we wanted before we did. During our 30-day walk-through and throughout our wedding reception, my husband and I repeatedly said to each other that Ericka is taking great care of us.
She was buzzing around and getting the job done! I could go on forever but if you want someone who is smart, efficient, and who you can trust to run the show and take care of you and your guests, I strongly recommend Ericka and Mai Oui! Lastly, my mother, the mother of the bride, worked in catering for 20+ years and she was tremendously impressed with everything. If that doesn't say everything, I don't know what does. Thank you, Ericka!

From the time I contacted Karen at Mai Oui she understood what I needed and responded immediately. She provided me with a menu for my event and a breakdown of costs. We met at the venue before the event and got the lay of the land. On the day of our event the staff arrived early set up and were ready to serve when the guests arrived. The food was delicious as well as plentiful and my guests were asking who catered the event. The staff worked hard and quietly to clear tables and clean up after we were done! The place was left exactly as we found it! Thank you Mai Oui Gourmet! You can't go wrong with Mai Oui! Thank you!
