We had an elegant/glam wedding with Disney touches and Bar Harbor Catering went above and beyond with the Disney touches that I know our guests will be talking about literally FOREVER!!! Thank you VERY much!!!

Truly Exceptional!

Bar Harbor Catering knocked it out of the park for our wedding reception. Food and beverage was a huge focus for us, and the crew from Bar Harbor Catering delivered 110%, dazzling us and all of our guests.

Heather worked closely with us in the months leading up to the event, and day of, Mandy, Freddie, and Nick created a comprehensive dining and bar experience that felt more like an incredible, intimate pop-up from your favorite new restaurant than a traditional, catered event. Their technical culinary and bartending skill was evident, and the service element was truly exceptional – combining gracious, friendly attitudes with timing and efficiency for a crowd is no easy feat, and their attention to detail made our evening unforgettable (and delicious).

This is a team of professionals capable of putting out incredible plates of food, keeping well-crafted drinks flowing, and creating a beautiful experience to compliment your celebration – highly recommended.

Such a great experience! Would recommend

So happy with our decision to hire Bar Harbor Catering! Heather was super responsive and flexible during the (extra long) planning phase, and the staff were so professional and really went above and beyond during the reception. The food was amazing too! 10/10 would recommend.
