    Delicious International Feast

    When we decided that we wanted to share our love of international foods with our wedding guests and that the food was probably the most important part of our wedding day for us, we started looking for a caterer that could help us achieve our goal. The tasting allowed us to choose our favorite items from their extensive menu options and were very accomodating and gracious when we had to have my parents fill in for us at the tasting last minute due to some travel issues.
    The food was delicious and our guests really enjoyed getting a chance to try new foods. We chose the "Drop Off" package and Upohar set all of the catered food up before the guests arrived at the reception venue, coordinating with our venue for necessary items like chafing dishes that were provided by our venue. We had people asking us for the recipe because they liked the pernil so much but didn't realize that we had most of our meal catered (I love to bake and had done the desserts myself). This request felt like the ultimate compliment to the food and did away with any questions we had about the guests enjoying the meal.

    Best Wedding Food

    They did drop off catering for my wedding this past weekend and it was delicious!!! I had multiple people tell me it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had and asking for the name of the caterer for their own future events. Highly recommended!!!!!!

    Great Service and a Fully Customized Menu!

    Upohar provided the catering for our wedding, and we would work with them again in a heartbeat! We wanted to serve food that reflected our own food preferences (versus the traditional wedding fare), plus offered options for vegetarians. They were amazing to work with and very flexible with the menu; they accommodated several customizations. The tasting was great – we were able to try many different options and the portions were huge. They especially went above and beyond with service during the night, accommodating our request to wear masks, bussing tables throughout the whole event, and staying on top of cleanup and trash. It really sped up our teardown at the end of the night. They also visited our venue ahead of time and were flexible in working with the space, which was essentially fully outdoors with very limited kitchen space. Many guests complimented the food and the unique menu. At the end of the night, they packed up all of our leftovers for us, and we were able to gather with family and make a second meal of it the next day. They were also super communicative throughout the whole process and very easy to work with. Highly recommended!
