We love By Hand! Excellent team, incredible food, and the best guest experience!

Adam and Liz exceeded all expectations for our catering- we couldn’t have been more thrilled with their entire team! From the moment we started working with them, Adam and Liz demonstrated both a strong command of the job to be done with the right amount of flexibility to personalize it for what we were looking for. We had a logistically complex wedding - 180 people at an outdoor, at-home venue. Their team never flinched at the task. They were our partners from the start - brainstorming alongside us to create the best guest experience. And they delivered (cooking out back behind the house, serving food on a beach, and navigating unique venue dynamics). The food was delicious (guests have repeatedly told us it the best wedding food!) and the run of show was seamless. They even navigated a crazy thunderstorm - never once allowing it to impact the party. Our wedding was absolutely perfect and I give By Hand the credit. We would recommend Adam and Liz 10/10!!

The best food and service you could ask for

Our guests just can’t stop talking about the food created by By Hand Catering. Adam and Liz are phenomenal to work with, offering the opportunity to work with you to create a menu and event that fits your style. We had a backyard wedding with 150+ people that required an endless-cocktail style reception and the use of unique spaces for our bars. Adam adapted to all of it and we would not have had the event we had without the teamwork between him, his colleague Liz, and Rita from Rita Ellis Events. Most importantly, Adam and Liz worked with their chef to help recreate Chilean empanadas that are so important to my husband’s side of the family. Those empanadas were AMAZING and were the main hit amongst all of our guests. If you want excellent food and need excellent logistical support for a complex event, look no further than By Hand.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
