Above and Beyond Service

We were so happy to have Tom and his family catering our wedding! They were super easy to work with and incredibly flexible (especially during COVID times). The food was incredible, and Tom really impressed our guests with gluten allergies by making almost everything gluten free. We also had another guest tell us that when she was offered an hors d'oeuvre she didn't like, the server came back soon after to offer her something she could eat, just to make sure everyone was enjoying the cocktail hour. They really mean it when they say they work to ensure everything runs smoothly, too! They took care of moving flowers and chairs after the ceremony, and helped load everything into our cars at the end of the night. Tom's daughter even helped my wife with her super-difficult-to-bustle dress. Two Steps really went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was perfect, and everyone could have a great time!

The absolute best!

We booked Tom and his company for our wedding on 09/25 and could not be happier. From the very start, Tom was so kind and responsive. He answered every question and went above and beyond. The day of our wedding couldn’t have been more perfect. Tom and his daughter took care of every little detail and worked with any little issue that came up. His daughter always made sure I was good and having fun throughout the night. All of our guests raved about the food and the cocktail hour. I could not recommend them enough!

Best vendor decision for our wedding!

Hiring Two Steps/Ciao Catering was the best vendor decision we made for our wedding! We worked with Tom, who was professional, responsive, friendly, and easy to work with. He had worked at our venue several times before and put together a great diagram of where everything would go and a comprehensive reception schedule that helped relieve a lot of potential stress, as we were planning most of the wedding ourselves.

When our wedding day was forecasted to be rainer and colder than expected, Tom and his team went above and beyond to find tent walls and heaters to make sure our guests were comfortable and had a great time. And the food was incredible! Weeks later, I am still hearing compliments from guests on the delicious wedding buffet.

I cannot recommend Tom and the Two Steps Team highly enough!

Look no further!

Had to change our wedding date 3 times and on the third date, we found Tom. As you would expect, by this time I was a wreck with nerves and Tom made the entire process effortless. From the first meeting we knew right away we wanted to hire him. Not only was the food amazing but he was like our wedding planner. He coordinated with the rental company, liquor store and our venue (tarrywile) which was a tremendous help. On the day, his daughter Kate was amazing. She made sure my husband and I had food, drinks water and anything we wanted. Our cocktail hour was amazing, everyone was talking about how good the food was. As well as our delicious entrees. You will not be disappointed with Tom and team!

Exceptional Service

Tom Devine and his team at Ciao Catering were exceptional. The food was amazing and the service was spectacular. Everyone was talking about the food all night and into the next day. Not only is Tom an amazing chef but he was instrumental in the coordination of everything for our special day. From the rental company, liquor order, deliveries, venue and timing of everything... he was in contact with every aspect of the day. We could not have done it without them! They made us feel special and made our day even more incredible than we could have imagined. We would highly recommend them.

Absolutely fantastic!

We hired Ciao Catering and Tom Devine for our daughter and son in law's recent wedding. I can't begin to express how happy we were with every aspect of the wedding reception with them. He made sure that every detail was just right, and the whole team was lovely and pleasant; wonderful and professional! Kayte was our point person on the day of the wedding, and was absolutely incredible too!
The food was amazing and we received so many compliments regarding the food and the staff - from our arrival to the cocktail hour, all the way to the end. They set up the decorations beautifully and cleaned up everything at the end so quickly and efficiently - even packing up any food that was left for us. He made the process so much easier by connecting us with various vendors and suppliers, and they all worked out beautifully!
He was especially responsive to any concerns and emails we had and put our minds at ease.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ciao Catering and Tom Devine to any of our family and friends in the future!! Just terrific!

Celeste (Mother of the Bride)

I can’t say enough about Two Steps, Tom Devine and his staff. From our first meeting up to the day of the wedding Tom was right on top of everything. He was quick to respond to all our emails and questions. On the day of the wedding Tom was there handling EVERYTHING and coordinating all the vendors putting my mind at ease so that I was able to enjoy the day. The food was amazing, exactly what we had discussed and more. Top notch service from beginning to end. A perfect day and I will only use Two Steps again for all of our future events.

This is your no stress catering option

Early in our wedding planning journey, we decided that we didn't want another generic wedding venue. We decided to have our wedding reception in a church hall which required us to obtain an on-site caterer. Luckily, we found Tom at Ciao! Catering. From the very first time we called Tom at work (an unscheduled phone call), we had confidence in his ability to be straightforward and down to earth. After the first tasting, we knew that his food supported all the good reviews. He stayed within our budget request and helped coordinate everything from how many napkins and table cloths to rent to how much beer/wine/liquor to buy. He even acted as a day of coordinator.

Most importantly, guests have been raving about the quality of food and level of service since the wedding!!

In summary, a message to those who are getting married: Some people will tell you how they didn't even eat at their own wedding. If you choose Ciao!, you won't have to worry about this, because the bridal/groom attendant will make sure you get served first AND if you care about good food, you won't want to miss out!!

Thank you Tom!!

Wonderful!

My husband and I got married this past September at Wood Acres Farm in terryville. Ciao was amazing from start to finish. All our guests raved about the food. Tom and his staff were professional and on point. Tom took the time to meet with us and listen to our likes and dislikes regarding food and made our menu “us”. Due to a dessert mishap by our baker, staff from Caio went to a local grocery store to purchase a few more desserts. I highly recommended Caio for your catering needs!

Tom Devine & crew is Simply Divine!

Tom Devine and his staff of Ciao were absolutely wonderful! We are so grateful we chose Ciao! From first call with Tom then onto our first meeting and tasting we felt so taken care of. Tom kept every aspect of the day so organized and documented as the planning went along which was fabulous to have that support and attention to detail. Come the big day everything went off without a hitch with the help of Tom and his courteous and caring staff. The food we chose for the evening was prepared to perfection and just so delicious! Everyone commented on how tasty everything was from cocktail hour to the main courses. Just perfect and never a worry in regards to anything. Tom is a pro at what he does and a class act with lots of experience, don’t hesitate, give him a call and book your special day!
Thanks Tom for all you and your staff do!
Cheers, Emma & Tom
