    The most AMAZING wedding dinner I’ve ever had

    Ralph’s was absolutely amazing to work with from the beginning. I have been to many weddings and I never expect the food to be amazing with the amount that is cooked for so many people, but I seriously almost died and went to heaven when I ate my wedding dinner. It was absolutely AMAZING - from the prime rib to the veggies and potatoes and everything in between! My guests were raving about the food and still are! We went with the carving stations and everything was absolutely delicious. Ralph the owner was so kind, and Mia was amazing to work with too and always so responsive and professional. I cannot recommend them enough for your big event!

    Absolutely Amazing

    I can’t say enough about Ralph’s, the food is absolutely delicious, their professionalism is on point I worked directly with Mia for everything involving my wedding food and alcohol and she became more than just a wedding vendor definitely money well spent

    Yummy food, incredibly professional, amazing value!!!

    We hired Ralph's as our caterer for our wedding on June 11, 2022 and we're SO glad that we did! Our entire experience with them was incredible, from start to finish. We hired them back in 2020 and we ended up having to postpone our wedding a full year. We were worried about our vendors being on board with the move, but Ralph's made it painless! They were very supportive of our decision and quickly were on board to cater for our wedding on the new date. Mia was easy to communicate with and always quickly & kindly responded to our many questions!!

    Our guests raved about the cheese board and appetizers at our cocktail hour-- several of my bridesmaids had the job of feeding me crab cakes all night! And because my husband and I missed cocktail hour, Ralph's made sure to put a tray of appetizers on our table at the reception. Dinner was AMAZING. Our steaks were cooked to perfection and the sides were delicious. Everyone enjoyed their meals, and food service was quick (which was great because our reception started late, so Ralph's saved us time too!!) Mia made a point of speaking with me at the reception, and made sure I was eating and enjoying the food. Not to mention that Ralph's brought the linens to the venue the night before because our coordinator wanted to set up early.

    Basically, you can't go wrong with Ralph's. Their professionalism is unmatched, they care about their couples and their wedding guests, and the food is plentiful & yummy. I can't say enough good things about them.

    Thanks to Mia and everyone that helped make our wedding a success! If you're thinking about hiring Ralph's....do it!!!!

    Amazing Food

    Hiring Ralphs for our catering for our May 7, 2022 wedding At Five Bridge Inn was an absolutely fantastic choice. Working with Mia throughout the planning process made everything a breeze. She answered every crazy question I had thoroughly and extremely quickly. The food on the day of the wedding was nothing short of amazing. Our chicken finger appetizers with chipotle aioli are something my husband I wish we could order for dinner. The prime rib, chicken capri, and mashed potatoes we had for dinner were outstanding. Our wedding guests are still raving about out food.

    Ralph's Catering's reply:

    Hi Jaclyn, thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are here to try and help this stressful process go as smoothly as possible. No questions are too many! Had a great time at your wedding, thank you for letting us be a part of your special day.

    So helpful & flexible!

    Ralph's was so wonderful to work with. We were planning a wedding in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, and Ralph's was not only still willing to work with us, but to help us navigate something none of us could have seen coming. The food was delicious -- everyone raved about it! Additionally, my husband and I were both surprised to see Ralph (like, the actual guy!) working our wedding. It was such a testament to the commitment to service, professionalism and accommodation that they had shown since the get-go! 10/10 would recommend!

    Cater Required By Venue, But Glad It Was!

    We were required to use this caterer because we did an off-season contract, but it was very easy! The appetizers were really delicious, and there was a lot included. The dinner buffet was a little limited in terms of number of items (partially because appetizers were passed, and salads were served) but all the food was hot, delicious, and there was plenty of it- which is more than I can say of other weddings I've been to. All in all, we are very happy with the results, and would recommend them (especially if you want Italian food)

    Ralph's Catering's reply:

    Hi Sam, thank you so much for the great review! Fresh, hot, delicious food is what we strive for. Congratulations!

    Delicious Food and Fabulous Service!

    Ralph's was absolutely incredible to work with. They were able to accommodate all of our requests including a large charcuterie table and champagne wall. The service was top notch and all of the wait staff was incredibly kind and professional. Everyone received their plates promptly and correctly as some of our guests had dietary restrictions. One waitress in particular was named Diane. This woman was an absolute saint on my wedding day. She always made sure that the wedding party had food and drinks while taking photos and constantly checked on us throughout the night. In addition, the food was incredible. We received so compliments on our food, especially the Baked Scrod plate and our unique appetizers. Overall they were absolutely fantastic, Highly Recommend! 10/10

    Exceeded expectations!

    We used Ralph’s Catering for our wedding at Five Bridge Inn. The entire process from the tasting, to choosing the menu, and then the wedding was seamless and stress free. Mia was a huge help! The food was absolutely delicious, with very generous portion sizes. Our guests are still raving about the food! Ralph’s team was wonderful and went above and beyond helping with last minute details. They were also very attentive to both my husband and myself, circling back to make sure we had everything we needed. Everything went as planned! We can’t thank you enough!

    amazing food, great staff and even better prices!

    we had ralphs cater our wedding on 10/5/19. We choose to do open bar and the buffet style dinner. The food was absolutely excellent! We had many guests at our weddings who are either in the food business and everyone raved about how good the food was. On top of the good food Ralph's staff were excellent. They were attentive, friendly and made sure all our needs were met all night long. Hiring Ralph's to cater our event was a no brainer. We worked with Mia right from the start to create a menu, taste the food and plan everything. Mia was attentive, easily accessible and guided us through the process with ease! You won't go wrong with Ralphs!

    AMAZING catering! Delicious food, high quality service, and amazing value.

    Ralph catered our wedding and rehearsal dinner at Five Bridge Inn in Rehoboth, MA. We cannot rave enough about the food and service of Ralph's Catering! Ralph and Mia got all 240 of our guests through the dinner buffet in under 20 minutes - truly amazing! His staff went above and beyond in helping us to set up the centerpieces, using leftover flowers and greenery to decorate the buffet tables, and taking care of the wedding party. He even brought over a tray of sandwiches for us to eat while we were getting ready before the ceremony! Our guests still haven't stopped raving about the appetizers (Ralph even threw in an extra!), the delicious prime rib carving station and pasta sides, and of course the service. We highly recommend the bacon wrapped shrimp, panko crusted chicken tenders, mac and cheese shooters, caprese skewers, and pigs in a blanket for appetizers. The artisanal cheese station was out of this world, too!

    If you're looking for a caterer for your event - look no more, because it doesn't get better than Ralph's. It's the perfect combination of delicious food, high quality service, and amazing value.

    The perfect choice

    Ralph’s was the best! Everything start to finish was great. Very easy to deal with, very flexible and accommodating. We enjoyed working with them very much. The food was fantastic, servers were great and professional.

    Thanks for the great review Sean! We are so pleased that you are so happy with our services. It was our pleasure to help you with the planning and execution of such a wonderful Wedding!

    They were amazing!

    We used Ralph’s Catering for our wedding at Five Bridge Inn. They were AMAZING! From the tasting (Mia was extremely helpful!), to cocktail hour, to the reception diner- they did an outstanding job! Ralph went above and beyond multiple times on our wedding day which we GREATLY appreciate but the most important thing was the food was delicious, and our guest were full and happy. Thank you Ralph- you were an absolute pleasure to work with!

    Thank you very much for the wonderful review Kealy! We are so pleased that both you and Sean as well as your guests enjoyed your beautiful Wedding Day. Congratulations!

    Best food ever !!!!!!!!

    From our first meeting with Mia for our tasting until our day of everything went smoothly! We NEVER had to worry once if the food their would be an issue with catering! Not worrying about a vendor is priceless!
    Mia wAs available to answer any and all questions with the fastest response time!
    As a couple we never go out to dinner because Joey can cook so well, so trusting someone with our wedding day meal was nerve wracking . Ralph exceeded all our expectations! All our guests are still talking about the food they had at our wedding!
    Only downfall was I didn’t make tjme to have several plates because the food was that good! We can’t wait to hire Ralph’s again , very soon!!!!!!!!!

    Ralph's Catering's reply:

    Hi Melissa,
    Thank you so much for your great review! We aim to try and make the whole experience - which can be overwhelming at times - as easy and seamless as possible. We are glad that you entrusted us with your Wedding Day Catering! Please keep us in mind for your future events. Congratulations!

    Delicious food & wonderful service!

    Ralph's was the caterer that came with our wedding venue package and it was the BEST package we could have chosen. Their food was amazing! The tasting was great--the owner, Ralph, came out to introduce himself to us during the tasting. We went home with about 5 take out boxes from the tasting and were so full and happy. At our wedding our guests were raving about our menu served. From the cheese platter to the passed appetizers to the meal everything was delicious and perfect. We hired them for as our bartender as well and the service was perfect. We would recommend anyone to Ralph's Catering! We picked the chicken parm & the steak as our meal choices. Our passed appetizers were mac&cheese shots and panko crusted chicken tenders!

    We had our wedding at Five Bridge Inn & Ralph's came as a recommendation from them, we were not disappointed! Delicious food with a ton of options. Beautiful cheese display and bar layout. The day of the wedding, the servers assisted largely in the set-up of our centerpieces and decor and it turned out gorgeous! They even brought us sandwiches while we were getting ready earlier in the day, reminding us to actually eat! We ended up meeting Ralph at the end of the night & he was just a pleasure to speak with. Highly recommended, can't go wrong!

    We were so, so happy that we chose Ralph's for our wedding a few weeks ago! They were recommended to us by our venue, and after seeing how long they've partnered with our venue (as well as tasting their food) it seemed like the smartest choice. But we couldn't believe how far they went above and beyond for us. We worked closely with Mia to make sure all details were set for the day. As our day was scheduled, time was very tight. Mia offered to have Ralph's set up our centerpieces and gift table as long as we provided clear instructions. This alone saved us so much stress! Not to mention, Ralph's team made it even more beautiful than we imagined! I was really, truly blown away. Even all the way down to the dinnerware selection, Ralph's has a variety that will absolutely compliment any aesthetic you're looking for.

    Now for the food. We had a large wedding (230 guests), so we opted for the carving station buffet. Our guests LOVED IT. There was so much to choose from and everything was delicious. One guest took me aside during the reception just to give me a review about the the prime rib and that is was the best she has ever had.

    We were so happy we went with Ralph's. At the end of the night, Ralph's found us to check it to see how everything was. The following day, Mia followed up with us to let us know where Ralph's had placed our leftover things so we would know exactly where to find them. If you are wondering if you should go with Ralph's, I hope this review helps solidify your decision.

    Ralph was highly recommended to us by our wedding venue and now we know why. We set up a tasting and they were the only caterer we tried because everything was delicious. Ralph, Mia and his staff are beyond amazing! Mia was very friendly and made sure that everything was perfect and stress free. They arrived at the venue early and set up the tables, centerpieces and other decorations we had to put out. I am one who has to do everything for myself and I only went into the tent once. I just knew I didn't have to worry about anything with Mia in charge. Ralph was on site to cook and serve our dinner. We chose to do a buffet and friends and family are still commenting on how good the food was. I couldn't believe how delicious everything was and the staff were all amazing. They made sure that the bridal party got to enjoy some of the appetizers while we were taking photos during cocktail hour. The service provided by Ralph and his staff was beyond our expectations and I highly recommend Ralph's catering to anyone and everyone. You will not be disappointed!

    Everyone at Ralph's catering went out of there way to help make our son and his beautiful bride's rehearsal dinner extremely special. Sharon's responses to our emails as we planned were always quick and helpful. The servers at our event were friendly, very attentive and went above and beyond. The meals Ralph created were delicious and a great value for the money. We couldn't have asked for anything more.

    We had such a wonderful experience with Ralph's Catering. Corinne Hursh Events, our wedding coordinator, and Five Bridge Inn, our venue, both recommended Ralph's for our wedding. Ralph's was accommodating to our ever changing catering needs. Our guests loved the food and we loved the experience! We would definitely recommend Ralph's!

    Ralph's Catering was strongly recommended by the wedding planner at our venue. She shared that he provided the food for more than 75% of her events over the last 10 (?) years and there had never been a complaint/issue. This was HUNDREDS of weddings...

    My husband and I went to Ralph's restaurant for a tasting. If you decide to try it, do not be fooled by the unassuming atmosphere. Everything we tasted was delicious and the dinner portions were huge! The prices were lower than any other caterer we found and there were no "surprise" fees. We hired him on the spot.

    His associate, Sharon, worked with us throughout the process making sure that everything would be exactly what we wanted, including having speciality wine/beer the day of our wedding!

    We were so happy with the food & service that we decided to hire Ralph to cater our rehearsal dinner, as well.

    The food at both events was delicious... and there was so much of it! The service of his staff was also exceptional. Ralph assigned a head server to our family the day of the wedding, and sent her to our rehearsal dinner just so we could meet ahead of time.

    There were little extras thrown in throughout our wedding weekend, I'd imagine that Ralph's generousity is unmatched in the industry.

    I would highly recommend Ralph's Catering for any event!!
