McGrath promised/ McGrath delivered
Their menu options were plentiful and working with Melissa in the office was effortless. The office conveniently handles organizing the ‘packing lists’ for the vendors for tables, chairs and place settings to ensure all match the headcount. As time got closer to our event, there were many loose ends; however, there was no concern in the catering department.
The day was drizzly, but that didn’t hold back the crew from arriving promptly and setting up their bake. When the time was right, TR was ‘center of attention’ (second only to the bride) as he unveiled his masterpiece and explained it’s history and the process by which the ‘bake’ was systematically assembled and presented.
We thought we knew what to expect, but when the tarps were peeled back, our guests were enthralled, impressed and entertained!
We ALL were amazed with the presentation and explanation!
So. A sincere and heartfelt thank you TR and your ‘crew’! Apparently, a clam bake is both a science AND an art!
(Also. Our guests, weeks later, are still telling us it was the best lobster they’d ever had!)
Where do we even begin, we had the best day of our lives thanks to McGrath's team!
All of the passed items for cocktail hour and food for dinner service were amazing, and any small detail we mentioned we wanted to include they were able to make possible! We wouldn't change a thing and cannot recommend them enough!

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.
very professional and food was amazing.
