    Exceeded Our Expectations!!

    Alexis was super attentive and everyone involved from McGrath’s truly exceeded all of our expectations! I credit their company with making our wedding day such a success. They are the utmost professionals and often thought of details that we might have missed. They’re planning and experience definitely calmed me when I felt very overwhelmed. And, the day of the event, they provided truly fantastic food! We’ve been to several events this summer catered by other companies and the food was marginal quality and often cold by the time we ate. We ordered the surf and turf for everyone and the quality of the filet and lobster were outstanding. It came out nice and hot as well as being cooked perfectly. In addition to such a fantastic meal, they provided a terrific waitstaff. The bartender and waitstaff made sure that all of our guests felt completely accommodated. If I could leave a sixth star, I would!!

    Lifesavers!

    When our caterer had to cancel 10 days before our wedding, Alexis from McGrath Clambakes was our lifesaver. Not only was she super quick to get back to me when I was making panicked phone calls, she was so kind and understood my stress. McGraths was able to cater our 200 guest wedding within a weeks notice, and the food was really the star of the whole day. Chef TR & team and Alexis were able to pull off the most amazing beach clambake and our guests are still talking about how amazing the food was 3 months later. We couldn’t be more grateful!

I am a local Rhode Island Wedding planner. I have worked with McGrath's catering a handful of times in the past 7 years. Every time was a very nice experience. The guests were happy, they worked as a team with all the other vendors and the events rean seamlessly. This coming season I have many events on the books with them...so our role in working together in the planning process has been more involved. The customer service, and planning process has been very pleasant and I have to say I really enjoy working with this caterer. The prices are good and competitive and they are willing to create a custom menu if you are looking for something else. The bake in the ground clambakes are just so special and fun for your wedding guests.

I can't say enough good things about McGrath's. Their attention to detail is unsurpassed and their staff is as friendly as can be. After the event, my clients are always raving about their experience. I look forward to every wedding I do with them.
