Beyond Any Expectation!

To say Forks and Fingers wowed our wedding guests would be an understatement! The venue received phone calls asking who our caterer had been; another guest said she "dreams of our wedding food." Stephanie's proactive support and service leading up to our wedding made sure the day ran smoothly. The servers were professional and attentive. Our individualized menu perfectly reflected us as a couple, was beautifully presented on our wedding day, and was absolutely delicious! The shucker-on-the-go was also a crowd pleaser! To not book Forks & Fingers would be a mistake -- they're simply the best.

Menu was easy to tailor to our needs & DELICIOUS

Forks & Fingers is AMAZING! We had a brunch wedding and Stephanie helped us put together the perfect menu which included both a breakfast and lunch selection. It was everything we wanted, and the food was just incredible. All of our guests raved for days! Because we put the menu together ourselves, it was also really easy to accommodate my food allergy, which was a top priority. I could not recommend Forks & Fingers more!

Forks and Fingers are the epitome of professionalism

Forks and Fingers could not have made our day any more perfect. Not only were our guests raving about the delicious food, but the waitstaff and bartenders were so kind and thoughtful to us and all of our guests. Everyone made comments to me about how friendly and helpful they were throughout the night, obliging to their every request. They made separate plates of food for us, constantly asked my husband and I if we needed anything. Dave, the catering manager, coordinated the day flawlessly, and never let it be known how hard they were working behind-the-scenes. He checked in with my mother, myself and my husband to make sure we were completely satisfied throughout the day. If you want delicious food and immaculate service - F and F is the caterer for you!

Couldn't be Happier!!

Forks & Fingers was one of the best decisions we made for vendors for our wedding. Their food is absolutely delicious, all of our guests were raving about the roasted chicken a& the pesto tortellini for days after the wedding. Debbie was so responsive and helpful throughout the whole process and their staff was so kind and professional. We felt so lucky to have them as our caterer and would seriously recommend them for any event!

Amazing food, amazing people!

It was such a pleasure to be able to work with Forks and Fingers! We knew how great everything would be after our initial tasting with Mark, which was in itself such a lovely experience. He and Steph worked to create a perfectly curated menu and we were able to taste each and every dish that would eventually be served at the wedding, which was greatly appreciated! Steph was there for us every step of the way to answer all of our questions, including everything with our rentals! Our guests could not stop talking about how delicious all of the food was, and how much they loved the family-style service. They also loved the oyster shucker during cocktail hour! Our venue was not easily accessible and had limited cooking space, but they made everything work seamlessly! The entire team and staff was professional and a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend them for your wedding or any other event where you are looking for catering!

Best Ever!

Best Decision and Experience! I feel that FNF are family now. From our initial call with Steph, the menu from Mark - the food. The preparation, styling/display, plating of the food (did I mention the food) and service was AMAZING. It made us so happy for all the guests to rave about what we already knew. Till next time FNF, THANK YOU for adding so much to our special day!

Exceptional Food!

The highlight of our wedding planning experience. Forks & Fingers gives you the most amazing opportunity to taste and try all of the meals before the wedding and Stephanie and Mark were absolutely wonderful to work with. They all went above and beyond to make our wedding everything we wanted it to be. We will definitely be using them again in the future if we have another big event, but they come highly recommended!! Thank you guys for everything!!

Tasting for November Wedding

My fiancé and I recently had our tasting with Forks and Fingers for our approaching wedding in November. In one sentence we would say this was one of the best tasting meals we have ever had from beginning to end. Each hors d’oeuvre that Mark created after our meeting with him and Stephanie was spot-on. Mark was able to embody my desire for vegetarian friendly Asian food, Kris’s desire for carnivorous options, and our shared love of seafood into a seamless assortment of foods. Even the simple details that can be easily overlooked, like bread and butter, were absolutely delcious. We LOVED the spicy bean dip and everything butter that Mark paired with a variety of rustic breads. What really made us fall in love with Forks and Fingers though were Mark and Stephanie’s genuine and professional attitudes. It is clear that they are invested in making our big day as amazing as possible. We cannot wait for our guests to experience what Mark and Stephanie have so thoughtfully put together for us. They have artfully put our love for such a variety of foods into one evening. Kris and I could not be happier with the way each choice has significance to our personal tastes and our shared memories with food. We can’t wait for our guests to enjoy everything Forks and Fingers has in store for our reception!

Using Forks & Fingers was the best decision we made for our wedding. Steph and her team are absolutely fantastic. From every step of the process, they made us feel important and our happiness a top priority. They had us fill out a questionnaire in the beginning which was SO vital in helping them create a menu that fit our personalities and vision. It's hard to imagine people you barely know capturing your relationship through food, but they really hit the nail on the head. This process speaks to how dedicated this team is to giving you a one of a kind event and experience. Aside from the food and presentation being AMAZING, Steph honestly saved my wedding day. With my planner being an amateur and probably one of the less thought out decisions I made for the wedding, Steph jumped in and went above and beyond her role as caterer. I truly believe she was a major part of the reason our day was so perfect. I will never use another caterer again!
