B.Lin is the type of catering that wedding guest want!

My husband and I consider ourselves foodies, and we didn't want the "stereotypical" catering we've experienced at other weddings. B.Lin checked those boxes and more to provide delicious, unique Asian cultural flavors. We had guests say this was the kind of food they actually wanted, and we witnessed our guests getting seconds! I honestly don't think I can recall any other wedding where guests went to the buffet to get seconds. Thank you, B.Lin, for your communication and professionalism from the tasting, choosing linens/plates, and actual execution day. You made our special day more special by showing our love through our love of food :)

Best wedding food ever!

It has been a dream to work with B. Lin for our wedding. We started the process in 2019 for a 2020 wedding. Ben prepared our tasting for us, and was able to adjust the menu so that all of our guests would enjoy it, not just those who like spice. We went with the Big Easy Bar which was a huge hit with all of our guests. My only regret is that I didn't get a second plate! The hour d'oeuvres were amazing as well. Truly, the food was one of the highlights for us and our guests.

But perhaps more importantly, B. Lin was super flexible as well all navigated the uncertainty of a 2020 and then summer 2021 wedding. They allowed us to have flexible deadlines and move numbers and dates around as needed. Our event planner, Katie, was perfect. She helped us make last minute adjustments and stepped up to help out above and beyond her contracted duties with a group of vendors who hadn't done a wedding at our venue before. For any event in the future, B. Lin will be our first call. Thanks for making our day perfect!

Highly recommend!

We looked all over wedding sites to find a caterer - immediately we were drawn to B.Lin and their food options. We only went to one tasting and that was with B.Lin, we then decided that we didn't need to try anyone else. The food was so good at the tasting and was so good on our wedding day!

Working with B.Lin was amazing! We worked with Katie and have nothing but good things to say. We aren't from the area and also with the pandemic, doing the tasting and planning other catering things should have been difficult. However, Katie was super accommodating with our schedule and so the whole planning process was easy! With all the changes that had to be made due to the pandemic, Katie was always responsive and supportive towards our edits. We highly recommend B.Lin!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
