Heirloom Fire is dedicated to offering local and seasonal menus designed around what is available from the farms for large gatherings and small, intimate events. Our close knit relationship with our growers and producers ensures that you get the best of the farm at your table. Our elegant service, beautiful food cooked over hardwood flame and our guests' experience is what drives us.
Oh. My. God. If you are even on this page, just hire them. They're amazing. We are massive foodies, and catering was our first decision. You probably gathered this from the other reviews, but they cook everything over open fire, and all the ingredients are local, often foraged, homemade, and absolutely from scratch. They even make their own apparatus and are always experimenting with new beautiful equipment that looks like it came from a century ago, in the best of ways. No shortcuts here. They cook everything in bulk, which is why it doesn't taste like typical wedding food - the fish and duck was all cooked whole before being carved and served, the beef was cooked on the leg...Their technique is barbecue, but elevated to creative, farm to table haute cuisine. It never loses its rustic, "done the old way" feel, and it is delicious without being pretentious. Also, they are great to work with. We went for a tasting, and everything was delicious but they took the few notes we had in stride and really collaborated together. The presentation was stunning (he asked if we'd let him serve the oysters and clams over a "running stream," which he built himself), and in addition to the flavor, everyone loved watching them cook out in the open. Our wedding was in a private residence for 235 people, and they did a magnificent job. Best decision we made.

A dream come true
When I first started thinking the vision of the wedding, I knew I wanted open fire cooking so I started to search the internet. Then I came upon Heirloom Fire and was addicted. Needless to say, my wedding was planned around them. James and his team were a joy to work with from day 1. They were helpful in recommending venues and other vendors and making the whole process so easy start to finish. But let's talk about the food. My guests are still talking about it. "Best wedding food I've ever had" is what we hear from everyone. They kept going back for seconds. From setting up, to cooking, to serving, to mixing drinks, you can count on Heirloom Fire to exceed all expectations. I would do it all over again if I could and wouldn't change a thing.

Amazing experience with Heirloom!
Heirloom Fire provided food, drink, and their typical understated flair for our wedding in May 2019. From the getgo, it was clear that there was no other choice than James and his excellent team to provide the high quality, deeply researched, and incredibly thoughtful experience that we and our guests would appreciate. (So much so that it seemed natural when the entire Heirloom crew received a round of applause when dinner first came out!)
I'll also note that Heirloom was working at a private site for the first time for our event, and yet everything was flawless and perfectly executed; this owes to James taking the time to conduct site visits, have discussions with us about menu, event flow, and exact ingredients, and coordinate directly with all other wedding collaborators so that things were seamless. Guests had amazing interactions with the Heirloom team, and immensely enjoyed the food.
If you're considering working with Heirloom, I recommend it 100%!
