    Easy Entertaining is AMAZING

    I don’t have enough kind words for Kaitlyn, Frank, Mike, Kristen, and everyone else we met and worked with from Easy Entertaining. They had a hand in every part of our day, from providing the most beautiful venue to serving the most delicious food. Our ceremony was in their courtyard followed by cocktail hour and an intimate dinner in The Atrium. The food was incredible, especially considering the number of food restrictions between me, my wife, and some of our guests (vegetarian, dairy free, GF, specific food allergies). Most of our food was vegan to accommodate my wife and I, and all of our guests were blown away. We didn’t have a planner or coordinator, but Frank assured us that as long as he knew our vision he could make it work. What he did was so far beyond expectations, I can’t thank him enough.

    As a same-sex couple, it was important to us to find vendors who not only accepted our love but respected and celebrated it. Everyone at Easy Entertaining welcomed us with open arms and we never once felt uncomfortable about being exactly who we are. We are so happy that we chose Easy Entertaining to be such a big part of such an important day!

    Easy Entertaining is a dream to work with

    From the request for a quote (and help in deciding on a venue) through the day-after wedding follow up, I can only say: thank you, thank you, thank you to the EE team. Having had their food at events before, and knowing the venue we chose had them as 1 of their 3 preferred, I knew we were in for a treat. All the details were well taken care of in advance - with a delicious tasting! - and on the day-of, we had everything we needed and more. Thoughtful care was taken with what the team knew was important to us, and Frank as the Manager onsite, is a diamond.

    Thank you Kate, Mike, Frank and the whole EE team that contributed to our reception. The food was equally as delicious and beautifully presented - and well complimented by our guests - as the experience in working with Easy Entertaining. Truly *chef's kiss*.

    Amazing Experience with Easy Entertaining

    Working with Easy Entertaining was an amazing experience! They really customized my menu for my wedding based on my preferences, and from the food to the staff, everything was 10/10. Would strongly recommend to anyone looking for a caterer for an upcoming event. They truly outdid themselves!

    We highly recommend Easy Entertaining!

    Mike was amazing to work with. He was experienced, patient and flexible. The complimentary food tasting was an excellent way to narrow down your meal choices. Our wedding was off site and everything had to be brought in. Mike worked directly with our tent and supply companies. The day of the wedding, Mike and his staff couldn’t have been more attentive and accommodating. The food, presentation and attention to detail was amazing. Most importantly, Mike truly wanted our wedding to be perfect and was willing to go above and beyond to make that happen. We highly recommend Easy Entertaining - you will not be disappointed!

    Easy Entertaining Inc's reply:

    Thanks so much Holly it was a pleasure to work with you all, what a beautiful day it was!! Hope to see you in the future

    Super helpful staff for a perfectly smooth event!

    Mike and Kaitlyn at Easy Entertaining were extremely helpful guiding my wife and I through our wedding reception at the Providence Athenaeum. From the excellent tasting, to hammering out the final elements of the menu and the general flow of the event, and dealing with technical hiccups, they were always there to make sure that we were well taken care of.

    On the day of the reception, the staff was very helpful, the food was delicious, and everyone had a wonderful time!

    Fabulous service and tasty food!

    From the moment we began interacting with Easy Entertaining we knew they were the perfect match for our wedding. Every person we spoke to was so kind and thoughtful in helping us plan our big day, answering any and all questions in such a timely manner. Our complimentary tasting was such a treat of food, drink, and fun decision making. Our wedding staff was exceptional, providing such wonderful service making sure the venue looked beautiful and that everyone left full and happy. And of course the farm-to-table food was delicious! We would very highly recommend Easy Entertaining!!

    Amazing Experience

    Easy Entertaining was recommended to me by another trusted vendor while planning my wedding. After our contract with another local vendor fell through 6 weeks before our wedding, Easy Entertaining was quick to step in an provide above and beyond service. Mike was a delight to work with and discussed ideas with us daily to ensure we were getting exactly what we wanted. We are from Ohio and unfortunately could not have a tasting, but the food was unbelievable. Our guests have talked about his staff several times after. They were very personable, fast, and just all around the people you want helping you on such an important day. Mike reached out to other vendors to help fill our gaps just weeks before our wedding. I could not recommend this team enough. Outstanding experience.

    Could NOT have gotten married without Easy Entertaining!

    This is not an exaggeration: our dream wedding could have never happened without Kait, Athina, Mike, Frank and the whole incredible Easy Entertaining team. We had big dreams and needed a LOT of help. We chose an beautiful incredible venue (also found through Easy Entertaining's website) that we loved, but was very DIY. We had to bring everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, in. But Easy Entertaining rose to every challenge. A 40 person intimate rehearsal dinner on the second floor of the property (an area they had never personally done a seated dinner in before) with full raw bar and buffet? Done! Followed by welcome drinks with the most AMAZING potato chips, charcuterie platters (we literally heard it was the best charcuterie meat people had ever had), and delicious small desserts? No problem! Helping to move all the ceremony chairs under the tent before passing around apps I am STILL wishing I had squirreled away for winter before serving an incredible family style late summer feast that was not only delicious, but fulfilled the many different dietary restrictions we were managing? Absolutely! Remaining gracious, supportive, and patient with a detail-oriented groom and an indecisive bride? No sweat. Easy Entertaining was with us every step of the way, through every inane question, bout of anxiety, unexpected obstacle, and last-minute request. They worked through every problem with us with the grace and style of experienced masters. They went ABOVE AND BEYOND in every sense of the word every moment of the planning process and the weekend itself and anticipated our every need. At the end of the night, when we predictably had not eaten nearly as much as we would have hoped, they had prepared us boxed meals and a dessert sampler for us to enjoy once all our guests had left. When my husband realized someone had spilled on his new suit jacket, Frank jumped in with club soda, calm, and swagger and absolutely saved the day. They were not just our caterers: they were our partners, our support system, our friends, and we couldn't have done any of this without them. They are not just the pinnacle of amazing service and delicious food; they are the true meaning of the best in the business and absolute miracle workers. We are endlessly grateful.

    Absolute perfection for our 11.27.2021 wedding!

    Kaitlyn, Mike, Frank, and the whole team at Easy Entertaining will exceed your expectations! This is the team you want catering your big day. All of our guests absolutely loved the food. From the cocktail hour to the dinner, everyone complimented the food during the reception and have been ever since. We went for the family-style option and everyone loved how it fostered conversation during dinner. It really was like one big family dinner amongst friends and family. I will also point out that we got married on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, which is a hectic time of year. Kaitlyn and Mike were super responsive during that busy time. I truly never worried how everything would turn out with the food and setup because of them. The Easy Entertaining team is super professional, warm, and attentive. Our guests loved the food and how nice the staff was. In addition to the actual wedding reception being perfect, our tasting was memorable and delicious too. We only have good things to say about the Easy Entertaining team. In fact, we will definitely get food from them when they have holiday specials because the food is so good and such a phenomenal small business deserves to be supported. We love Easy Entertaining! :)

    Easy Entertaining was wonderful to work with!

    We were originally set to have a 2020 wedding but due to the pandemic we made the decision to postpone. Easy Entertaining was wonderful in working with us to change dates and make our vision come true.
    Their staff are wonderful and attentive. We felt so well taken care of and knew our guests were in good hands! We got many compliments on our unique passed hors d'oeurves and soft pretzel station for cocktail hour!
    Truly can't thank EE enough for being part of our big day!

    Easy Entertaining makes it… Easy!

    In all seriousness though, they helped us every step of the way — not just with food. Our point person was our glue and our sanity.

    What an amazing job their team did!
    We are so very thankful— and simultaneously— so very impressed.

    Everybody was not only efficient, but also incredibly pleasant + thoughtful. The day-of-event staff provided great energy for the event.

    We got rave reviews on the food-- compliments to the entire back of house team.

    Wedding review!

    The wedding was absolutely perfect and definitely the best day of our lives so far! The food was great and the team set up everything so beautifully! You guys really helped make my vision come to life! Our guests raved about not only the food but the service as well! Your team was quick, efficient, kind, helpful, and even cleaned up spills on the dance floor (multiple times) without a single complaint! I would highly recommend this company to anyone getting married/having a catered event!

    Amazing team and food for our wedding

    Went with Easy Entertaining for our outdoor tented summer wedding and it was the best decision. Kait and her team were super flexible and responsive with the menu and order of events for the day. We are still receiving feedback from our family and friends on how tasty the food was between the apps and main course, 10/10!

    Amazing to work with!

    Easy Entertaining catered our wedding and they were absolutely amazing to work with. From the very beginning they were super responsive and more than willing to answer all of our many, many questions and work with us to create the perfect menu.

    The team did an amazing job the day of. Everything ran so smooth, the food was presented beautifully, and my husband and I were especially appreciative that there was a member of the staff that made sure we constantly had something to eat and drink.

    Last, but certainly not least, the food was amazing! We would absolutely recommend them to anyone.

    Kait and her team were truly amazing to work with. They were so supportive when we postponed our wedding due to Covid, and they really were able to make our vision a reality for our rescheduled date. They were flexible and creative, as we wanted to do a gourmet BBQ theme, and I received so many compliments on how delicious the food was. Highly recommend!!!

    Our best decision, except for deciding to get married

    Easy Entertaining understood what we wanted from the start: a backyard brunch wedding we could pull off during the pandemic. Kait & her team helped us with virtually every aspect of the event, except for the vows (& thank-you notes). She recommended other vendors (florist, videographer) who were also wonderful and worked with us tirelessly to craft the menu for our brunch. Kait's staff was top-notch (server, baker) and the food was tasty and well-presented. We received many, many compliments.

    Quaint Pandemic Wedding

    After the unexpected permanent closure of our initial venue, I reached out to Kait to make an inquiry about availability (keep in mind we had never been to the cafe prior to Covid closure; we were really taking a leap of faith on this). She responded immediately, we discussed location and menu options and within 72 hours we had a date selected (we were able to keep our initial date) and the menu had been chosen. Amid planning an intimate wedding, we had the ongoing uncertainty with Covid and the ever changing restrictions. Kait was responsive and patient with each of my countless emails. When the governor changed the guest limit a mere 8 days before our nuptials, Kait had already submitted a variance request with RIDOH before even calling me to inform me of the newly imposed restrictions. Right until the morning of our wedding, we didn’t know if we were going to be able to host our ceremony outside due to the weather and Kait and her team were flexible and made it magical for us. The night of the event at the Cafe, her team was AMAZING! They were professional, accommodating to every guest request, and made our whole experience stress free and flawless. Many guests inquired about taking Frank home because he was so warm, witty, and hospitable. He raced around ensuring that any guest departing early had a tray of sweets to take home and savor later. Guests could not say enough about the delicious farm to table menu choices and our wedding cake made by Easy Entertaining was absolutely divine.

    Outstanding

    I truly cannot say enough great things about Easy Entertaining. We booked them for the food and service for both our rehearsal dinner and wedding ceremony. Our wedding was very unconventional and on a private residence that does not typically have weddings or events. EE was exceptional at communicating and remaining flexible throughout our entire process of figuring out how we were going to make it all work. We did not have a wedding planner, although our POC with EE Jayne, felt and acted as one without being exclusively called on.

    Our sometimes hectic and unorganized day would not have been so successful if not for the staff. They did their job while making sure all other vendors were on the same page and on task. They essentially made the entire dinner in a makeshift kitchen with an oven in the woods due to the "venue's" limitations! They couldn't have been more friendly and accommodating. One staff member, Frank, was so awesome he was literally one of the main hits of the wedding. Thanks, Frank!!

    Aside from the service, which I could go on forever about. The FOOD. WAS. AMAZING.

    Other than the Bride, the food was likely second in line as the most talked about subject for the night. Our guests genuinely loved everything and let us know for weeks afterwards. EE also wasted nothing. They made sure they filled every piece of Tupperware we provided with as many leftovers as possible.

    These folks deserve every shred of business they get. We worked with many vendors for our big day, EE was our breath of fresh air and our favorite by miles. We continue to spread the good word about them to anyone in need of a caterer and we hope this review helps them as well!

    Thank you all so much! Cheers!

    Amazing Service, Food, and Planning!!!

    Having a small wedding during covid-19 sounded and felt super stressful. We were very worried that it wasn’t going to be worth it. But Kait and her team stepped in and went out of their way to help us put together an incredible and enjoyable wedding! They came up with great plans to safely plan around the covid-19 concerns such as spacing out tables, having all of the drinks and food served directly to our guests, and as well taking care of outside desserts we had come in! We didn’t have to worry about a single thing, as every one of our guests was and felt safe the whole time and enjoyed themselves! My husband and I now can smile and say we had a great wedding especially during these times. We’re definitely going back to Easy Entertaining for future events and parties! Thank you to Kait and her team!

    EE Team Can't Be Beat

    Easy Entertaining is incredible. Our food options were delicious and they worked with us to serve them in the creative ways we desired. Kait, Mike, and Athina, along with Frank and the team, are all wonderful people who are also true professionals and provide an amazing product and service. I can't recommend EE enough!
