Delicious food and excellent service!

I would highly recommend Woodmans for your next event. They arrived on time, provided excellent service and accommodations for certain dietary restrictions that we had, and the food was delicious! I actually woke up thinking about the steak tips. You won’t be disappointed with Woodmans!

All the review categories are actually 6 stars. Who doesn't want the best for their daughter's wedding. Woodman's "New England Wedding Clambake" was the icing on the cake! Maureen Woodman and her catering team could not have been more informative, accommodating, and professional. Everything was beyond everyone's expectations. No question who will be called for daughter number two.
