Bourassa Catering & Events

Bourassa was absolutely unbelievable. I genuinely cannot say enough good things about the food, service, and staff. We had so many guests come up to us throughout the night specifically to tell us how amazing the food was.

During our tastings with the chef, he really listened to our vision and captured exactly what we were looking for. The food on the wedding day was exceptional — hot, fresh, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. One thing that really stood out to us was that the food was actually properly seasoned and not overly salty, which is something that unfortunately happens at a lot of weddings, it was served on-time and THE FOOD WAS ACTUALLY HOT. This was genuinely some of the best wedding food I have ever had.

Nikki was also incredible and deserves a special mention. She was our main point of contact and was unbelievably friendly, helpful, and responsive throughout the entire planning process. She gave us so much advice and went above and beyond to help us get our schedule organized. She also advised us on things beyond just the food and catering. At a certain point, she genuinely felt like a member of our wedding planning team.

The servers and entire staff were also fantastic. They were friendly, professional, attentive, and helped make the entire night run smoothly. The combination of the food, presentation, and service was truly exceptional.
Bourassa exceeded our expectations in every possible way. The food was incredible, the staff was amazing, and Nikki and the entire team went above and beyond to help make our wedding perfect. If you are looking for a caterer, I could not recommend them more highly. Absolutely phenomenal.

We loved every minute of our experience with Bourassa and are so happy with our choice to use them as our wedding day caterer. Each moment was perfect and the food was fantastic. Everyone involved was helpful and kind and truly helped to make this special day so wonderful. The Bourassa staff was extremely responsive, supportive, and flexible. We worked very closely with Nikki, who ensured our menu and catering experience was perfect and everything we had imagined it to be.

Bourassa catering was great to work with from start to finish. Their pricing is straightforward, and they provide so many services and come with years of experience to make your vision happen. We asked them for a large tented wedding with appetizers that they were able to customize to be what we had on our first date- and they didn't stop until everything was right! The food was delicious and we were blown away by the staff's professionalism on the day of the event- they really know what they're doing!

My wife and I used Bourassa for our September 2025 wedding and we truly could not have better things to say. It was such a beautiful day for so many reasons, and a huge part of that was thanks to the incredible support provided by their talented team. Everyone was SO friendly and helpful—we especially loved Kathryn, who made sure we were well-fed throughout the evening. And Nikki was amazing to work with — from our first intro call, to the tasting, to our wedding day. Our friends and family loved the food, especially the tacos, halibut and short rib. Everything was a hit and the service ran so smoothly. From our first outreach with their team, working with Bourassa was a delight. Highly recommend!

We have nothing but positive things to say about Nikki, Gabriel, and their entire team.

From the very beginning, Nikki was incredibly responsive, patient, and positive despite the countless questions I had and the many additions we made to our menu. On the day of the event, Gabriel was exceptional. Everything ran seamlessly, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about the food, many literally cleaned their plates.

Their professionalism, attention to detail, and dedication made the entire experience stress free and memorable. We cannot recommend their team enough.

I could not have asked for a better evening for my daughter & new son in-law. Everything was wonderful...the appetizers, the bar, and the dinner & of course the service. Our guests were very happy and we are still getting compliments from them. I have only one daughter and you and you staff helped make her day very special. Thank you again. I have only one daughter and you and you staff helped make her day very special.

We hired this company to cater our wedding last summer, and they went above and beyond in every possible way. From the moment the first hand-passed hors d’oeuvres came out, our guests were raving—and they didn’t stop all night! Everything was beautifully presented, perfectly seasoned, and incredibly fresh.

The buffet was equally impressive. There was a fantastic variety of options, and every dish was delicious. Guests kept coming up to us saying it was the best wedding food they’d ever had, and we couldn’t agree more.

Beyond the food itself, the staff were professional, friendly, and so attentive. They made sure everything ran smoothly and allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our day.

We’re so grateful to have had them as part of our wedding. If you want exceptional food and service, look no further. Highly recommend!

Bourassa went above and beyond our expectations throughout the entire wedding planning process and wedding day. The communication and planning was thorough and organized and made sure nothing went unaccounted for. The tasting was incredible with some many amazing options to choose from, it was honestly hard to pick because everything was so amazing. Leading up to the wedding the team made sure every detail was covered, making sure all guests had safe options despite multiple allergies and sensitivities. It put our mind at ease knowing all of our guests could easily find something safe and delicious to eat. The food and service on our wedding day was beyond our expectations. The staff were attentive to guest needs, the food and drinks were incredible, and everything was handled with the utmost professionalism. Most couple often say they barley have time to eat on their wedding day, and this couldn't be further from the truth for us. The staff made sure we had drinks and food whenever we needed and I'm so glad that was the case because all of the food was outstanding. I have had multiple guests rave about how good the food was. I have many engaged friends now inquiring about who we had for catering because they do not want to miss out on hiring Bourassa. I simply cannot recommend Bourassa enough and look forward to hiring them for all of my future events, you cannot go wrong picking them to be apart of your wedding or special event!!

We are so grateful that we chose Bourassa Catering for our wedding at The Estate in New Haven this past October. They were absolutely phenomenal from start of planning through cleanup of our event. We continue to hear from our guests how incredible the food and service was. We chose the short rib, salmon and eggplant rollatini for entrees then 5 passed apps, charcuterie and a taco station along with their full bar service.

We worked closely with Nikki during the planning process, and she was a dream to work with. She is attentive, communicative, and makes everything feel seamless. Her organization and professionalism allowed us to relax and feel confident knowing Bourassa had every detail of our vison handled. Nikki will help you to make your wedding day your own assisting in customizing some of our menu items and ensuring that your décor is exactly how you pictured it to be.

They worked with us to design a unique combo family-style and plated meal service, and it was executed perfectly. The timing was flawless, the food was outstanding, and the service was exceptional. My husband and I had our own attendant who made sure we had a drink & got to try all of our food during such a busy night. They even went above and beyond by sourcing our favorite local beer from our hometown for the bar and helping coordinate the delivery of 15 individual mini wedding cakes to each table for dessert.

The bartenders kept up with a busy crowd and served delicious drinks all night with great energy and fantastic service even switching locations between cocktail hour, the reception and late night service for us.

Bourassa is the reason that our wedding day was executed so seamlessly. If you want a caterer who delivers not only excellent food but top-tier service and attention to detail, we cannot recommend them highly enough!

Bourassa was absolutely incredible!! From our very first conversation and taste of their food at the Wadsworth Mansion wedding show until wedding day and beyond the Bourassa team has been truly remarkable. Their kind and generous team; especially Nikki, Devin, Gabriel, and Jon gave my husband and I nothing short of the full experience of wedding planning! They answered every question we had along the way, quickly responded to every email and phone call with such enthusiasm and reassurance that everything would be perfect and were overall just so personable. Not only is their food amazing but their wait staff, bar tenders, cooks as well. Everyone always says the food makes of breaks a wedding but I can surely say Bourassa blew every other catering service out of the water!
