Amazing Food, Well-Organized and Responsive Caterer

We used Bayside Catering for our wedding in Edgewater, MD and are so glad we did! Jessica and the Bayside team were awesome and provided several sample menus as a starting point, and were so helpful collaborating with us to put together a package that worked within our budget. As we were planning the wedding remotely, we actually did not have the opportunity to do a tasting before our wedding day, so were blown away day-of by the amazing quality of the food (hors d'oeuvres, sides, entrees - there was not a single item that was just "okay"). Our guests were extremely complimentary of the food and quality of catering and bar service, and Bayside was very thoughtful about portions and making enough food for all ~150 guests (including second and third helpings for certain guests). We would recommend Bayside Catering to anyone for any event (wedding or otherwise) - on top of being great at what they do (i.e., making food), they are extremely well-organized and responsive and were a pleasure to work with throughout the planning process.

Best in the business!

Bayside Catering exceeded all our expectations for our wedding! From start to finish, their team delivered an exceptional culinary experience that our guests are still raving about.

Working with Jessica during the planning process was a dream. She was attentive, creative, and always responsive to our ideas and questions. Her expertise in crafting our menu was invaluable.

On the big day, Ben took the reins as our lead, and we knew immediately we were in capable hands. His professionalism and attention to detail ensured everything ran smoothly.

The food was absolutely outstanding. We started with delicious appetizers that set the tone for the evening. The oyster bar was a hit among our guests, adding a touch of luxury to our cocktail hour. The main course was nothing short of amazing - every dish was perfectly prepared and beautifully presented.

What really impressed us was the range of their services. Not only was the dinner exceptional, but their bartending service was top-notch, ensuring our guests were well taken care of throughout the night. And just when we thought it couldn't get any better, we had incredible late-night bites that gave our reception the perfect finishing touch.

The catering staff was professional, attentive, and seemed to anticipate our needs before we even realized them. Their seamless service allowed us and our guests to fully enjoy the celebration without worry.

If you're looking for a caterer who can provide a complete, high-quality dining experience for your wedding, look no further than Bayside Catering. They truly went above and beyond to make our day special and delicious. Thank you, Jessica, Ben, and the entire Bayside team, for helping make our wedding day absolutely perfect!

So delicious!!

My husband and I both love bayside for a simple lunch and wanted to incorporate it in our wedding. There were so many sides to choose from when creating our menu and we could personalize it with our favorites! When it came to communication, they were amazing and made the booking process easy. Our wedding day was such a breeze with them! Ben was absolutely amazing on our wedding day and kept checking up on us, had our plates already prepared and was so sweet! It was so nice to hear from our guests that they not only loved the food but also the overall service! Thank you bayside for our first delicious meal as Mr. And Mrs!

The best wedding caterer!

Bayside Bull was AMAZING for our wedding catering! Not only was Jessica around prior to the wedding for all of our many questions, but the food was great (the egg rolls SO GOOD) and the timing on everything was so amazing. I felt so secure that everything would go well working with them! Would definitely recommend as your wedding (or really any party) caterer!

Beyond Amazing - Every detail

We recently celebrated our daughter's wedding and Bayside was the caterer for both the rehearsal dinner and wedding reception. Jessica also served as our Day of Coordinator and words cannot express our appreciation for all that she did! Jessica and her staff went above and beyond to provide many extras including delicious food and presentation! Our 250+ guests are still raving about the delicious dinner and incredible attentive wait staff and bartenders! Throughout the planning process, Jessica gave us many wonderful suggestions, support but most of all, her love. Jessica has become a special member of our family!

Stress free and delicious!

Bayside catered our recent wedding at Quiet Waters Park and we’re phenomenal to work with!

From the initial stages of the planning process through our wedding day, Jessica was responsive, helpful, and an absolute delight to work with. Once my now-husband and I were able to meet with her in person, I felt all of the wedding planning stress leave my body - this woman is on top of it!

Immediately following our recessional, Jessica met us outside and asked what we wanted to drink and brought a plate of our cocktail hour food so that we could enjoy a bite to eat before getting the party started!

In addition to the superwoman that is Jessica - the food is so great! Our guests are still talking about the food and our signature cocktails from our wedding.

The team with Bayside took such such care of us on our wedding day. I can not recommend them enough!

Absolutely amazing!

We had Bayside Bull run the show for our wedding last weekend. They went out of their way to make sure everything was exactly how we wanted. The food was an absolute A++, they decorated everything perfectly and made the day easy for us. I’ve had nothing but compliments from my friends and family about their food and their service. They were very personable, very prompt and did an absolutely amazing job. This is the best catering option for a wedding! Several in attendance said this was the Best food they've had at a wedding. Do yourself a favor and grab this catering at Bayside Bull!
