“Best wedding food” Excpetional!

“Best food I have had at a wedding.” Ned’s went above and beyond all expectations my husband and I had for the catering service at our wedding. The staff were kind, smiling, helpful to all guest and other vendors. The food was some of the best BBQ we have ever had. Leftovers were boxed and labeled and put into the fridge by the staff. Ned’s was flexible with our guests food allergies. HIGHLY recommend!!

Best Food Ever

Sherri was so amazing! I can't say enough about Ned's Catering. The food was beautifully presented and tasted even better. We highly recommend Ned's Catering for your wedding reception or any event.

rehearsal dinner clambake

We used Ned's for our rehearsal dinner and are so happy we did! We had a lobster and clambake for 30 people. They also provided chicken, steak, and vegetarian options for those that did not like seafood. They cooked right out of the back of a truck which was an awesome authentic feel for a Maine wedding. We love seafood and my husband was a lobsterman. Let me tell you we like to eat and he is not one to give a 5 star review. When I heard him say that was the best lobster he's had, you know it was amazing! The clams were also soooo good and sweet. They provided excellent customer service which allowed us to relax and enjoy the night.

My husband and I used Ned's for our wedding and we were not disappointed! The food was cooked on site making it very fresh and delicious! They worked tirelessly with my husband around so many details including family allergies. The greeted each guest with a smile and everyone enjoyed the food. Very pleased!!! We recommend for any catering occasion!

Ned's Bakes & BBQ catered our rehearsal dinner - we had HUGE lobster rolls, chowder, Brisket, BBQ Chicken, Ribs, Potatos, Salad, Appetizers, and Desserts. It was a delicious feast! We had our rehearsal dinner outside and it was pouring rain! The guests were all dealing with it and hiding under the tent but what really lifted everyone's mood was the food. It was soo soo good! Perfect for a Maine or New England feast. They were right on time and were the sweetest people. They even saved some extra food for the bride and groom as we were running around visiting with the guests. It was such a perfect evening. In terms of cost they were very reasonable and very easy to work with. Highly recommend!

Ned's food was delicious and their service was amazing! Gisele, one of the owners, gave me valuable advice, never freaked out when I kept changing our guest count, and even offered to go out of her way to pick up items for our reception.
My guests raved about the food! We opted for a pig roast "pig picking". Guests loved seeing the pig get deconstructed. Even the doubters admitted it was tastefully prepped and displayed! The servers were quick and friendly and good at their jobs!
I'd recommend Ned's to anyone!

Great BBQ for our venue with many options to choose from. The Groom had food allergies and Ned's did a great job working with that. They also provided a variety of upgrades since we didn't want to use paper plates for our main meal. The staff on site the day of the wedding was flexible and helpful.

Delicious, huge lobsters and tender juicy steaks. Amazing prices that beat everyone in New England (I did my research)! Hard to get in touch with in the months leading up to the wedding for questions but if you persevere you will get answers. Friendly and happy to accommodate strange requests.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
