A+ Service

Catering By Christine is the #1 reason my wedding evolved from a vision to reality. From the very beginning, Pete, Emma, and the rest of their team were so responsive, fielding countless nervous emails and calls from me while always answering my questions and reassuring me that they had everything under control. Emma coordinated the day to perfection and made it run so smoothly, we always had someone attending to us, and I might just trust her with my life! The food was 10/10....the passed appetizers were what dreams are made of, and our guests are still talking about how much they loved all the food. If you're looking for a caterer in the Fairfield County area, you can stop your search now, because it just doesn't get better than Catering By Christine.

Just Run to hire catering by christine. It’s been five months since our wedding and our families and friends are still raving. The food and presentation is out of this world.! the attention to detail the little drinks that they pair with hors d’oeuvres. It’s just all amazing. Our venue requires you bring in everything and I was skeptical at first until I spoke with Chrissy. She put my mind at ease and told me they would coordinate everything. They did and it was everything I could have imagine. The food was amazing and the staff was so helpful and friendly. One of my cousins just booked them for their wedding next year. My family is so excited. I can’t say enough I wish I could give them 100 stars .

Run to book them

The best wedding we have ever been to! This is what we have heard for literally months. Everyone of our family and friends have told us The food and staff at our wedding was amazing. Our parents joined us at the tasting. We had gone to a few other caterers for a tasting and it was seriously lacking. When we went to catering by christine. Everyone, even my hard to please Father was blown away, and on our wedding day it was just as perfect. Chrissy helped with everything checking on me, my mom, my grandma. She made sure I wanted for nothing. My attendant Gabby was so sweet and made sure we kept eating and had fresh drinks all night. I wish we could do it again. If you are looking for the perfect caterer literally don’t look any further.
