The best in the business!

Erin, David, and their entire team are the BEST! We cannot recommend them highly enough- hiring them to cater our wedding was one of the best decisions we made during wedding planning. They curated a perfect menu for us full of fresh seasonal dishes, and we had tons of guests comment that it was the best meal they had ever had at a wedding. Erin & David also gave us the opportunity to do an intimate menu tasting with our families a few months prior to our wedding to choose our final menu, which was such a special experience. My husband and I still talk about how amazing the food was, and how grateful we are to have worked with Friends & Neighbors. Truly- cannot say enough good things!

I was just a guest, but I shall review

I was part of the bridal party for my best friend's wedding in 2023 and F&N did the rehearsal dinner for them. I was around for the planning and menu development and when I tell you these folks are professionals, listen.

Friends & Neighbors made the catering element of this wedding so smooth-- smoother than the rest by A LOT-- especially as it was a party of 75 at an Airbnb. They served up a beyond restaurant quality dinner out of a home kitchen, family style, and with the chillest, most pleasant attitude. These people are COOL. They presented every dish with a little note on how the dish relayed back to the bride and grooms shared memories and were around to answer questions from whoever had them. I saw the wife (?) owner chatting with the father of the bride for like 15 minutes as she was tying to leave. QUEEN.

The customer service is there. The food was fantastic. They made the most beautiful pineapple upside down cake I've ever seen. They did the wine pairings for the course and absolutely crushed it. The vibes were immaculate. Can't say enough, honestly. Book them. Worth every penny.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
