Barry and his team were flexible, accomodating, and extremely helpful over the course of the almost-year we spent planning and executing our wedding. My husband and I were at our wit's end trying to find a caterer for our wedding. We had practically lost all hope of having a wedding with a full dinner meal for our 150 guests. After some tears, our neighbor suggested Dinner & Company.
Our tasting with Barry was thorough, delicious, and stress-free! Barry asked us what kinds of food we'd like and we went over flavors we did/didn't like. He was able to accommodate for our myriad vegetarian/vegan/special needs guests without the bat of an eyelash. He matched our colors beautifully for our napkins and chargers at no extra cost.
Additionally, Barry was able to work very well with our difficult-to-please estate manager which made my life 100x easier.
Barry and his team provided excellent service at the wedding, itself. Helping with set up, serving at the buffet, bussing, and probably about a dozen other things I didn't notice. But, that's the point. When you're at your wedding you don't want to notice the things that have to be done- you just want them to be taken care of and Barry accomplished that.
Bottom line: My husband and I were prepared to cut lots of corners to meet our budget. Dinner & Company made a delicious meal and a delicate presentation while exceeding our expectations. Dinner & Company allowed us to not cut corners, to be less stressed. Multple guests commented on how delicious dinner was. Thanks, guys!

Barry is fantastic. I had to plan my reception from across the country, so I sent friends to do a tasting. He provided a beautiful and professional tasting that they raved about, and I was confident in hiring him. He replied promptly and fully to my every question and made sure that we were on the same page for details. On the day of the event, he was there to take care of details I hadn't even considered, and his staff did a beautiful job. My friends and family all commented on how wonderful and delicious the food was (they're foodies themselves), and how impressive it was. His staff was friendly and prompt and made the evening run smoothly. I would hire him again in a heartbeat- money very well spent! My husband and I are nothing but pleased with Barry and his catering services. Thank you, Barry!

We didn't think any catering service would be individualized enough to work with our budget. Chef Barry was so welcoming, personal, and creative that we were able to have our dream wedding within our small budget. We would recommend dinner and company to anyone and everyone!!

I could not recommend him more strongly!!!

Five stars across the board and I'd give more if I could! Barry was an absolute pleasure to work with from beginning to end. His prices are what first caught our attention because they were far more reasonable than the several others we'd looked into. And then at our tasting, we were sold before he even brought out the main course. The food was literally among the best we'd ever had. Barry, his wife Rachael and their staff were extremely kind, accommodating, and paid such close attention to detail with table settings, buffet set-up, and they even set up our centerpieces for us, exactly as we wanted them to look. Everything was absolutely beautiful, and the food was extraordinary. I have already recommended Dinner and Company to another couple, and they too were sold at their tasting!
Chef Barry and his team were absolutely amazing! Our guests are still talking about how good the food was. I loved that they even served the bridal party while we were taking pictures! Barry was a pleasure to work with and helped make our day perfect. Thank you Dinner and Company!!!

My Husband and I could not be happier with Dinner and Company. When we first met with Chef Barry, we knew right after the first bite that Dinner and Company was exactly what we were looking for. Not only was the food amazing, but Barry is a full service caterer. He and his crew were a huge part of the set up and break down of our wedding which was a lot of DIY, which you probably know means more work on the day of. I dropped off everything at the venue the morning of and left to go get ready, I had no doubt that Barry and his crew would bring my vision to life, and that is exactly what they did. They set up the tables, the seating cards, the candy bar, etc., everything was marvelous. Cocktail hour was a hit! Everyone loved the passed hour'duerves, especially the crab cakes :) When we sat down for our platted surf and turf, everything came out fast and hot. All our guests were raving about how scrumptious everything was. Even the gluten free, vegetarians, and allergy guests were happy, Barry took great care of them and no one went hungry! At the end of the night everything was packed up nicely, nothing missed.
I would recommend Dinner and Company for your event. Chef Barry and his staff are very detail oriented and aim to please.
Barry and his Company were absolutely superb and delivered everything they promised, literally and figuratively. From the generous initial tasting to the wedding day itself, we got all that we wanted and more. I didn't think this was possible for such an affordable price. Happily, I was wrong. I would recommend Dinner and Company without "reservation" . OK, I'm no stand-up comic, but I'm not kidding about this. They really are superb!!
I don't know where to begin. Barry was great to work with in every aspect. The food was amazing - it was absolutely delicious and his presentation was great. He was great to work with, his staff was polite and all of my guests have been telling me how great the food was, it doesn't get much better than that.

Chef Barry and team were absolutely wonderful and we feel so lucky that we found them to cater our wedding! We rented a house for our wedding and weren't sure how everything would work out with arranging the tent, moving chairs, etc. Chef Barry and his team did everything. I'm not even sure where to start, but here goes chronologically:
Barbecue: we hosted a barbecue the night before and Dinner and Company set up a cute, country western buffet table and drink table. They wiped down all the chairs before the event. The food was outstanding, especially the burgers which everyone raved about. And people were wrapping up extra brownies to take home. After the evening, Barry and company cleaned up and prepared for the next day.
Wedding: Barry and his team arranged everything beautifully! They put the numbers in the centerpieces according to a sketch we gave them and moved the chairs to the ceremony location at the back of the house. Again, they wiped off chairs and placed them in perfect rows. They also put the seating cards out and decorated with flower petals that I gave them. The buffet table was nicely arranged and decorated too. After the ceremony they brought the chairs back to the tent and tables while also starting to serve hors d'oeuvres (not sure how they did it all). Once we finished photos (at the tail end of the cocktail hour), they made sure to specifically come around to us (even while standing away from the tent) to offer any remaining hors d’oeuvres. The food was great and there were no issues. Notably, Chef Barry went out of his way to make many things gluten free for some family members with sensitivities. And as a nice touch all labels and signs were printed on paper with our color. Also, I should mention that Barry and team required minimal input from us; they just knew what to do.
So overall, we loved working with Chef Barry and would hire Dinner and Company again in a second.

I cannot say enough about the food and professionalism that Chef Barry, his wife and staff brought to my daughter's wedding. Every detail was taken into consideration, from the arrival to the end of the evening. When a company performs in this manner it makes the celebration even more special. Bravo ! And yes, the food was marvelous.

The openness, thoroughness, professionalism, ease, presentation, responsiveness, friendliness, and deliscous food are what make Dinner and Company rate so highly.
Our daughter's wedding was so well done from the moment we went for a tasting to the end of the clean-up. Kudos, Barry and Rachel, and thank you for being a huge part of our festivities.
