Chris and his team were top-class and very detail-oriented from the baseline ingredients right through to the garnishes. This food was incredible. Our guests really couldn’t get over how good the short ribs were - people kept telling us post-event!

Chris and I spoke multiple times and landed on a spread we were super psyched about and enjoyed immensely. Also, the attention to gluten-free requirements on certain things was respected through and through.

Highly recommend!

I am a lifelong chef and foodservice director at places such as Yale and Wesleyan University, Choate School and other such institutions. I hired Culinary Concerts to cater my wedding. Myself, my fiancé as well as most of our guest list represented those who worked in foodservice. We and all attendees could not have been more humbled by the extraordinary performance put on by Chris and his Culinary Concerts team. It is something still talked about to this day.

I was so impressed, I decided to work part time for Culinary Concerts as a Chef de Cuisine. I held that position for over 26 years. In that time, I have never witnessed a more professionally run, high quality service that settles for nothing less than the best for its clientele. I am proud to have been a part of it.

Chris at Culinary Concerts quickly caught on to my daughter’s vision for her diy wedding
celebration. I am so grateful he was willing to partner with us and help plan our family style meal
for 100. We knew that was a time where we wanted to be really present and in the moment with
our guests and appreciated Chris’ team coming through for us with a menu that was comforting
with a wow factor. The presentation and attention to detail and freshness were elevated and the
sides were good enough to rival the main. There was something on the plate for everyone
including our vegan or vegetarian or glute-intolerant friends. Chris thought of everything in the
planning process and no one went away hungry.
After dinner, the staff cleared the plates, packed up the left overs and their work was done. I
appreciated again their flexibility and willingness to work with us when we did not order full
catering service for the entire evening as well as Chris’ willingness to still treat the job with an
uncompromised masterly touch.

Chris and team were great with allowing us to be flexible with our budget and suiting our needs from beginning to end. Communication was great and the food was amazing! Chris is an amazing chef himself and the food did not disappoint. He was able to make a variety of cuisines and suit the needs of everyone. There was an open bar with an assortment of drinks which all the guests loved. Thank you Chris and team!

Chris, Arianna, and his team did a wonderful job as our wedding catering team! The food was fantastic and Chris did a great job in taking into account our hopes for the wedding. Arianna was very attentive and made sure all the logistics of the event went very seamlessly. Our guests all said the food was great and the team was very friendly. We really enjoyed working with Culinary Concerts!

There is so much to be said about Culinary Concerts -that I do not know where to begin. I have worked in the food industry all my life, including catering- so the vendor that my husband and I choose for our wedding needed to be SPOT ON- and Chris and his team NAILED IT and Never missed a beat!

The Team that Chris has was amazing and Devon and Chris took every vision that we had and brought them to life. They are extremely professional, dedicated, and hardworking.
Chris went above and beyond our expectations on the day of the wedding. Everything was done on time, organized, and dealt with professionalism. Our guests were beyond impressed with the amazing food and the cocktails. We wanted a station style menu and it was executed perfectly! They really care about making all of the food special and unique to the couple. We wanted a home style flavor with elegance and they delivered! They are so creative and I can't emphasize enough just how delicious all of the food was!
Everything is so fresh and local! Can't recommend highly enough!

CC completely delivered everything we asked for. Tasty, awesome food, good service and they price was less for more than other caterers. We could not have been happier. The desserts were sinfully delicious!!!:)

It was a pleasure working with Chris and his team. From the tasting to the wedding day, we were truly impressed with his culinary creations. Several guests came up to us throughout the night and were raving about the food too! Chris was very flexible in working with our budget and providing us many options, we ending up opting with a "stations" style menu that truly captured some of our absolute favorite foods! Not only is Chris a character, but his team is extremely nice and helpful as well. The day of our wedding we were running late and there was a real crunch to get the flowers and decorations set up--Chris' team jumped in and helped seamlessly to make everything perfect. Would definitely recommend, especially to those getting married at Eolia...he was an expert and gave us some great advice about the flow of the venue and setup.

HIGHLY recommend Chris from Culinary Concerts! We would've given more stars if it were possible on here! Chris is an amazing caterer who will get the job DONE at your wedding. He worked with us to make a menu that 100% defined our preferences as a couple. He made great suggestions and his food is so delicious! People are still talking about the meal at our wedding! We booked Chris pretty quickly because he really works with couples to make sure that the menu is not the typically steak, fish, vegetarian option sort of thing. We had 2 meetings with him where we tried his food (which is just so good!). We decided to go with a sit down dinner with restaurant style ordering. The options were a veggie burger and chicken kebobs, which is not traditional wedding food. The portions were fairly large and each entree had a couple of side dishes on the plate. The cake we got was White Chocolate and it was so moist and our guests loved it. We also had a gelato bar and donuts. Honestly, it makes us a little sad that our wedding is over because we will miss our relationship with Chris and his amazing team and food!!! HIGHLY recommend! You will not regret it!

Chris is truly fantastic. We had him cater our wedding at Eolia Mansion in June and we would not have been happier. The food was incredible (we got so many compliments) and his staff were great. He dealt with a change in policy from the venue (they got rid of all the tables we were planning to use 6 weeks before the wedding...) and found a great solution in two days. His priority is the quality of the food and service on the day of -- and not as much the administrative stuff -- but as long as you're at least a little bit organized you'll be in good shape. Would hire him again in a second!!
