Nicole's Catering was founded in 1986 on a simple belief: great food and genuine hospitality have the power to bring people together and create lasting memories. What began as a small restaurant operation has grown into one of the Capital Region's premier catering and event companies, serving thousands of guests each year at weddings, corporate events, galas, fundraisers, and social celebrations.

The company's story begins with founder Margaret Carciobolo, who purchased an existing restaurant in Albany that became Nicole's Restaurant in 1986. Through hard work, passion and persistence the restaurant transformed into a beloved community destination known for quality food, exceptional service, and personal attention to every guest. As demand for off-site events increased, Margaret recognized an opportunity to extend the restaurant's hospitality beyond its walls. What started as catering small gatherings quickly evolved into a thriving catering division, eventually becoming the full-service event company known today as Nicole's Catering.

Over the past four decades, Nicole's Catering has built its reputation by combining culinary excellence with thoughtful event planning and flawless execution. Under Margaret's leadership, the company evolved to meet the changing needs of clients while remaining true to its founding values of quality, integrity, and service. In 2022 Sarah Carciobolo, Margaret’s niece became part of ownership. Growth is only possible with the right team and a commitment to building strong teams, developing lasting client relationships, and creating memorable guest experiences.

Nicole's Catering specializes in weddings, corporate events, nonprofit galas, fundraisers, milestone celebrations, and custom social gatherings. Known for creative event execution, chef-driven cuisine and personalized service, the company creates menus and event experiences tailored to each client's vision. Whether designing an elegant plated wedding reception, an interactive cocktail-style event, a large-scale fundraising gala, or a corporate conference, the team approaches every event with creativity, professionalism, and attention to detail.

Weddings remain one of the company's signature specialties. Nicole's Catering works closely with couples throughout the planning process, helping transform ideas into seamless celebrations that reflect their personalities and style. From intimate gatherings to large-scale receptions, the team is known for delivering exceptional food, attentive service, and a stress-free experience that allows couples and their families to fully enjoy the day.

Beyond weddings, Nicole's Catering has become a trusted partner for businesses, nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, and community groups throughout the region. The company's expertise in managing complex logistics, coordinating event details, and delivering consistent quality has made it a preferred choice for corporate meetings, employee events, fundraising galas, award ceremonies, and community celebrations.
