Edward and his staff are true professionals. From the first phone call, it’s clear Edward knows food. He was professional, always early, and so easy to work with. And the food: incredible. I dream about the lion’s mane mushrooms he prepared for us. The steak, chicken, apps, and service were all impeccable. His flavors are balanced and original. His professional team made our perfect day even more so.

Edward and his entire team at French Picnic were an absolute dream to work with! From the moment we first started communicating them over a year before our wedding to the actual wedding day, he was responsive, communicative, thoughtful, and accommodating! The food was absolutely exceptional - I had several family and friends rave about the entire meal, particularly the steak and the appetizers! The food was beautifully plated and the meal was served right on time -- I could not recommend French Picnic more!

When I think of the perfect Maine caterer, it’s a group that makes delicious, farm-to-table, locally-sourced food, is passionate about their craft, creative, polite, and able to deal with whatever the Maine elements throw at them. French Picnic embodies this to a T. Our wedding took place on an island during a borderline-hurricane. The magic that Edward’s team pulled off to cook an amazing meal *outdoors* in driving rain and sustained 30 mph winds is still a mystery to me. But as many others have said - people are still raving about French Picnic’s food. My wife and I continue to dream about the best barbecue chicken we’ve ever had. Edward and his team truly care about making the day special, and it shows. Thank you again French Picnic!!

Edward and his team were absolutely fantastic. Our guests raved about the food!! Edward and his team went above and beyond to ensure that everything looked and tasted amazing. Thank you French Picnic!!

Edward, Hagai, and the rest of the French Picnic team were amazing to work with. We literally picked our wedding date based on when the French Picnic team would be free and it was the best decision we could have made. We raved about the food, our guests raved about the food, and they even worked with us to put together some Persian-inspired food to honor my family's heritage. We are so lucky we were able to work with them and so grateful for everything they did from the menu planning to the tasting to our wedding day itself!

French Picnic went above and beyond our expectations for our wedding! From our first time speaking with Edward on the phone to our tasting it was clear the passion and gift he and his team has. Every appetizer and course is made with such precise detail and exquisite taste and flavors. He was always quick to respond and a delight to work with. The family style catering was exactly what we had envisioned, and all our guests loved how intimate it was. We highly recommend them!

If we could rate more than 5 stars, we would! Edward and French Picnic blew us away along every step of the process. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we were unable to have a tasting with French Picnic ahead of our wedding. We put our trust in the menu, Edward & French Picnic as well as our wedding coordinator who suggested him. Let me tell you: Edward's food was the best wedding food we've ever had (and that's not just because it was our wedding!). We continue to get raving reviews from our family and friends even months later. Every couple getting married in the Portland, ME region should work with French Picnic!

We are so happy that we chose French Picnic to cater our wedding! The family-style dishes were exactly what we imagined: Friends and family passing plates and chatting as they enjoyed the meal.

The Thai Coconut Tofu Curry was especially good and we had guests approach us after dinner to say that this was their first time trying tofu, that the dish was absolutely amazing, and that they needed the recipe.

Thanks for making our wedding so special!

Edward and the rest of the French Picnic team were a perfect match for our wedding. They had everything we wanted for our vegetarian wedding. Every detail exceeded our expectations. The food was simply outstanding. Every interaction we had with Edward was warm and felt like family. Having an accommodating vendor like French Picnic reduced the stress of wedding planning and made it really enjoyable at every step. I would highly recommend French Picnic to anyone planning a future event!

There are not enough words to describe how amazing Edward and The French Picnic team are at their culinary talents!!! We knew Edward because he actually first catered my brother’s wedding back in 2018. It was then that we knew when it was finally our big day, we would hope and pray that he would say yes to catering our wedding in Massachusetts too! By that fact alone, you can just imagine how incredible the food tasted to know that we didn’t even consider another vendor to feed our guests! However, while the food is undoubtedly delicious, fresh, and filling – it was Edward himself that really sold us from the very beginning. My Dad is highly allergic to fish and chicken, which you can imagine is difficult to manage alone never mind when catering to a wedding. His allergies require food to be prepared separately without chicken, fish, or their byproducts cross contaminating other foods. Edward took on the challenge without hesitation and acted with confidence knowing that he could easily work with our needs and requests safely. He not only directly answered our questions at any moment but cooked an entire steak separately for my Dad on a separate grill where the other guests’ meals were not prepared. Besides Edward’s amazing personality and talent, his staff was equally pleasant, friendly, and helped make our day seamless. The food was presented beautifully as promised and there was plenty to go around to our guests. My husband and I sat at a separate sweetheart table where we received the royal treatment with plenty of delicious food and accompaniments to enjoy and fuel up for the rest of the evening. Thank you, Edward, for being such a pleasure and we truly could not recommend your team enough!!!
