Food you will dream of forever.

I cannot say enough about how amazing John is!!! We had ALOT of struggles due to venue changes and then Covid and then replanning the wedding multiple times. John was very supportive and flexible and a dream to work with. And that’s honestly an understatement. Not only is John amazing to work with but the food…. I cannot tell you how happy alllllll of our guests were!! Mark and I knew how amazing it would be from our tasting but our guests were ecstatic. The Mac & Cheese and Prime Rib were the BIGGEST hit! I drool thinking about it still after the fact. If you book Chowhound, know that you are getting the absolute best food and the best caterer you could ever work with!

Great Food!

The plan was for my wife to write this review, but in the end I was the one who ate more of the food - so it feels only fair. 5/5 Excellent food and service!

We looked around at a few places, but Chowhound really stuck out to us. We had the pleasure of going in person to try the dishes we had chosen. At the tasting through a small miscommunication the chicken whose sauce was supposed to be made dairy-free wasn’t. The chef jumped into action and threw together a chermoula which was SO FREAKING GOOD. It had a perfect fresh feel - which was great for our summer wedding - and it was naturally dairy-free. We requested that they make it at the wedding too (and they did!).

At the wedding there were no hiccups whatsoever, and the food was delicious. Their setup was great and everyone was through the food line in a jiffy (we opted for buffet style). Chowhound made up plates for the wedding party and gave it to us before the rest of the guests so we were able to enjoy the food. Well, my wife through a combination of stress and a very tight dress was unable to eat much, but it had nothing to do with food which she still speaks highly of (whatever bits she was able to comfortably try).

Overall a wonderful experience and company. Would recommend it!

What More Could You Ask For

First off, the entire experience with John and his crew was amazing. The tasting, the logistics of everything…all of it…amazing. I’m not really one to leave reviews, but, I have to for Chowhound. We had some weather challenges with our wedding, but John and his crew worked it all out. Having a wedding in the country, in a barn is especially challenging and from someone who used to work in the industry, I am always highly skeptical of chef’s/caterers abilities. John far exceeded all of our expectations. We had nothing but awesome comments on how delicious all the food was. The prime rib—amazing. Thanks John and staff for all your hard work and delicious food! - Z
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
