Absolutely FABULOUS Experience with Northern Fork!
Working with Northern Fork was an absolute dream! From my very first inquiry to the day of the event, Kelsey Wright made everything seamless. She was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and above all, so kind throughout the entire planning process.
On the day of the event, Rita and her team were nothing short of amazing. They intuitively sensed when we needed an extra hand and didn’t hesitate to jump in and help. From setup to clean-up, they were constantly checking in, making sure I was doing okay and asking if I needed anything.
And the FOOD—don’t even get me started. It was to die for. Delicious, beautifully presented, and truly top-quality. So many of our guests asked who the caterer was because they were blown away.
I honestly can’t say enough great things about Northern Fork. If you’re considering them—BOOK THEM TODAY! You won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic Food for Winter Wedding
My husband and I were recommended Northern Fork through our venue and we were not disappointed by their catering service for our reception! When we had inquired about their services, they had sent us a draft menu for our micro-wedding/reception – we ended up loving their draft menu right off the bat! Kelsey was a fantastic point of contact, Myrissa helped coordinate with our venue with our needs, and Executive Chef Sean treated us absolutely wonderfully during our tasting and even during our reception event as well! We would recommend Northern Fork to everyone, they were an absolute joy with delicious options. (PS. The guests absolutely LOVED their food – even the picky eaters!)

Hire Northern Fork!
Northern Fork is awesome! I am a wedding planner and have been working with them for several years now. When it came time to plan my own offbeat, intimate wedding, I knew they were the right caterer to use. Chef Katie was so hands-on, and she went above and beyond to develop and incredible, personalized menu. On the event date, everyone was so happy with everything, from the grazing table display to the heartier fare. They take each event so seriously, are very creative, and make sure to knock it out of the park for their clients. Hire Northern Fork for your wedding or event!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
