Amazing food and great company to work with

We loved our whole experience with Black Tie. The food, from cocktail hour through ice cream sundae bar was incredible. They were responsive, easy to work with and helped us create the dream wedding food from start to finish. Many comments from guests that the food was "the best wedding dinner".

Amazing wedding at Camp Hammond!

Our wedding at Camp Hammond was absolutely perfect. Amy was amazing to work with for the entire planning process, and our day-of event captain Delaine was also incredible. They were so responsive and professional throughout. We got so many compliments on the venue, the service, and the food! Everything was beautiful. The wedding day went very smoothly, so we could relax and enjoy without any stress at all - they took care of every single detail. Many of the other vendors we worked with mentioned that they consistently had great experiences with Black Tie, and that their events are known to be very well-run! We would 1000% recommend Black Tie and Camp Hammond! Thank you so much!

Black Tie was the best wedding plan choice I made!

My husband and I were recently married at Harbourview at Jones Landing on Peaks Island. The Black Tie Company (TBTC) was engaged to handle the wedding planning, the catering, etc. My wedding coordinator, Britta was truly amazing over the many months she helped us with planning. Because of COVID we were both stuck overseas and had to plan the entire wedding remotely. Britta was available for video calls and instilled every confidence that the wedding would fit our vision, even though we were not even able to see the venue in advance. She was great through the planning process from start to finish. Then on the actual day of the wedding, Britta made sure everything went smoothly and was very good at handling stressed out family members. Everyone remarked that the wedding was beautiful and well organized. The catering and the wedding cake were all outstanding. Guests were raving about the food! We truly cannot thank her and TBTC enough. I would recommend them to anyone and hire them again in a minute. Thank you Britta! Adam and Rhen.

We highly recommend Black Tie

Black Tie was great. We had our rehearsal dinner and post-rehearsal dinner party at the Portland Club (this was a super cool place to have a Friday night party). We had our wedding at the Landing at Pine Point, which was literally the only venue anywhere in Portland area that could accommodate us (we had approx 310 guests). If you have a large guest list, this is a great spot to have it, as it was most certainly big enough, without feeling too big. I recommend asking for AMY to help as your contact at Black Tie, as she went above the call of duty for us, and essentially served as our wedding coordinator (which is beyond the scope of their duties) and made everything totally seamless for us. Amy was also real cool about being flexible as we wanted (for example, helping us get lobster on the menu for our rehearsal dinner). We didn't view any of the other facilities they have, but were pleased with the ones we used -- again, especially if you have a big guest list. Last but certaily not least when you are planning a wedding....their alcohol pricing was very reasonable (at least, as far as we were concerned, as our friends may or many not be big drinkers :). If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask me at austinbuerlein@yahoo.com -- as I remember how much not fun it was trying to research this sort of stuff when we were planning.

Fantastic!

We had an amazing wedding at The Landing at Pine Point and so much credit goes to Black Tie. Britta was so easy to work with and the venue looked amazing. The food was especially impressive. As a wedding professional myself, and my wife as a large event organizer, we have enjoyed catering and observed organization at hundreds of functions and weddings, and can attest that Black Tie ranks with the best of them. Highly recommended!

So much more than delicious food!

We loved working with the Black Tie Company! They provided catering services for our rehearsal dinner and wedding ceremony. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. All of our guests raved about the delicious food. We worked with Heather to plan all of the wedding details (and there are a lot!). She was wonderful to work with and helped guide us through the entire wedding planning process.

Absolutely perfect!

From the vendor recommendations, to the impeccable service and food to Amy, the outstanding wedding coordinator we could not have been happier with Black Tie. I credit them with turning what could have been a stressful event into a flawless, fun and perfect weekend. Every detail was taken care of, every wish accommodated. At the reception Amy seemed to be everywhere and handling everything with ease and class.

We had our daughter’s reception on Peaks Island at Jones Landing with Black Tie as our caterer, directed by Amy Collins. Black Tie was fabulous from food to set up/break down, and Amy was truly extraordinary. She was supportive, knowledgable, and enthusiastic — always available to help. The celebration went seamlessly. We could not have had a more positive experience!

I cant say enough great things about our experience with the BTC! From our very first meeting, to the day of our wedding (and the numerous emails In between!), Amy Collins was there every step of the way and was absolutely amazing to work with! She truly went above and beyond in helping us to facilitate and experience the most perfect day possible!
Also, THE FOOD!! Can I just say that there was not a single thing we tried at our food tasting that we didn't like? Also, our family and friends cannot stop talking about how AMAZING the food and BTC staff were at our rehearsal dinner and wedding!
It's so hard to believe the day has come and gone, but Tony and I both agree, there is not a single thing we would change about it and we owe so much of that to Amy and the rest of the BTC staff!

Black Tie Company did an amazing job catering our wedding at Jones Landing on Peaks Island. Our coordinator Nicki was a pleasure to work with, from start to finish. We planned our wedding from halfway across the country, and Black Tie took the stress out of the process. Throughout the planning process every request was answered with “yep, we can do that”, and they delivered! The day of – our venue was beautiful, the food was delicious, but it was the little things that Black Tie provided that set them apart. Nicki even brought us appetizers while we were taking photos to make sure we did not miss out on the food we had so much fun picking at our tasting. Our special decoration requests were completely handled by the Black Tie staff, and we received numerous comments that our food was the best food people have had at a wedding. After our great experience with Black Tie Co, we would recommend them to anyone!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
