Memorable meal and overall experience!

Justin and his team provided the most memorable tasting menu we could have imagined for our intimate wedding at Silver Maple Farms. The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. The quality of fresh, local ingredients came through in every dish. Justin came out to explain each course, which added a special touch for our guests. In addition to the tasting menu, we opted for the harvest bounty table and dessert board, both of which were works of art. Beyond the amazing food, Justin helped execute every part of the evening, including the rentals, set-up, and impeccable service. Justin is an incredibly talented chef and a dream to work with in planning our wedding. Our guests are still raving about the meal!

Great experience

I had a small birthday party of 16 catered in my home. Everything from the chef, server to the food was great. It was a pleasure to deal with handcrafted!

Best experience ever

Handcrafted made our dreams come true when we came to them with only 3 weeks to plan a wedding. I’ve never worked with someone so hands on and accommodating, Justin made planning our menu a breeze, and even guided us every step of the way when working with our rentals team. Our guests still rave about our dinner, multiple people even asked for the ingredients so they could try to make it at home. The food and service was truly a hit and if we had to do it all over again, we would choose Hand Crafted again and again.

Excellent food and even better service!!!

Justin, Rachel, and the Hand Crafted team went above and beyond to make our day perfect! In the months leading up to our wedding Justin and Rachel were communicative and helped guide us through an unfamiliar process with ease. On the day of our wedding, the Hand Crafted team executed all of our ideas to make our day special. The food was incredible!! People were stopping me to tell me it was the best “wedding food” they’ve ever had. On top of all that, the staff were so friendly and personable with my guests and again I was getting comments left and right about how nice and accommodating everyone was! We quite literally could not have had the incredible wedding we had without Hand Crafted. We highly and enthusiastically recommend them!!!

Hand Crafted Went Above and Beyond

Our wedding planner found Hand Crafted and we decided to take a chance on a first-time wedding venue with them. We are so glad that we did since our wedding was fantastic. Justin and his team constantly tried to do everything possible to make our wedding an incredible day for us, our families, and our friends.
We had a taco bar, and we continue to get compliments on the food when we talk about our wedding with family and guests. Everyone loved the food and appreciated the quality.
Hand Crafted provided the rentals and made sure the set-up was great for both the ceremony and the reception, and they were excellent in quickly transitioning the same space from seating to cocktail reception venue (NOT an easy task). The rentals themselves (chairs, tables, etc) looked really nice and added to the wedding aura.
Justin provided great referrals and worked really well with our wedding planner, who said after the fact that she really appreciated Justin and would absolutely work with him again. We are very appreciative to Hand Crafted for making our wedding an epic and special event, and we certainly recommend them--they'll take care of you and make sure your wedding is incredible!

Great Food, Great Fun!

Partnering with Hand Crafted Catering + Events was an absolute pleasure. Not only was their food incredible but their service before and during the wedding was wonderful. We truly appreciated their flexibility, professionalism and understanding the needs of our couple. This company truly wants every event they are a part of to be beyond a success and we look forward to working with them again in the future.
