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!I would highly recommend Woodmans for your next event.

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.All the review categories are actually 6 stars. Who doesn't want the best for their daughter's wedding.

My wife and I couldn't have asked for a better place, better people, and better food. Woodman's was amazingly accommodating and made our rehearsal dinner one of the highlights of the entire wedding week. We can't thank them enough!! If you're considering any other spot for an event stop now and book Woodman's. You won't regret it!My wife and I couldn't have asked for a better place, better people, and better food.

Woodman's is a tried and true caterer, and our wedding benefited greatly from their expertise. It's rare that people rave about food at weddings, but Woodman's really made the grade and delivers incredible quality with utmost professionalism. We recommend them HIGHLY!Woodman's is a tried and true caterer, and our wedding benefited greatly from their expertise.

When we were planning our rehearsal dinner, we knew from the start that we wanted something unique & simple, but nice. We shopped around, and even though we didn’t want a clambake, my fiancé and I both feel in love with the Top Deck at Woodman’s. It had recently been renovated, and the atmosphere was perfect. Although we were both a bit hesitant about our menu (I don’t eat any kind of seafood), we were assured that we could design a menu to suit any theme, we decided on Italian! When we walked into the Top Deck on the night of the party, we were totally blown away. They went above and beyond our expectations with the set up and décor, it was simple, but perfect. The appetizers included artichoke & sundried tomato dip, flatbread pizzas, tomato & mozzarella salad, these alone could have been enough for a main course. Then we had lemon chicken & braised beef with pasta & homemade Italian breads, and for dessert, cannoli & a lemon cornmeal cake that just melted in your mouth. Every bit of food was absolutely delicious, we expected our guests to rave about the wedding, but they’re still raving about the rehearsal too!When we were planning our rehearsal dinner, we knew from the start that we wanted something unique & simple, but nice.

I would recommend them without reservation. They made it possible to enjoy our wedding without the worry of providing our guests with all of their needs. The food service and accomadation for the private location was excellent.

The clambake was excellent and all the guests representing 7 different states really enjoyed the meal. The relaxed atmosphere of a outdoor, summer meal was perfect for our event. The preparation, service, and clean-up by Woodman's went smoothly, and the caterers were so friendly. The arrangements for the clambake were done using the Woodman's website, by phone, and on-line from out of state. That, too,
went smoothly. I would recommend Woodman's.

Food was amazing, timing was impeccable, staff was amazing... the dinner couldnt have gone better... they provided an amazing clambake, a sundae bar, and a bartender for the evening... the evening was perfection with them. We had an unexpected rainstorm, and before the thurndershower hit us, they had moved all the services to the covered porch in no time. I loved Woodmans!Food was amazing, timing was impeccable, staff was amazing... the dinner couldnt have gone better... they provided an amazing clambake, a sundae bar, and a bartender for the evening... the evening was perfection with them.
