Great food at a great price

We used Olde Tymes for our wedding and could not have been happier! We did a pasta buffet and then there were cookies for dessert, it was great! Jay-lynn, the event coordinator is awesome!! Highly recommend!

Absolutely perfect, food was delicious

My husband and I found olde Tymes while searching through wedding wire. We had no idea what to expect other than by reading reviews which were all excellent. Debbie and Steve from day one were so amazing to work with. We had multiple tastings so we could try the things on our menu, and every time we loved more than the last. Steve and Steve, and Debbie made everything so fun, they nailed the food at the wedding and people are still talking about how awesome it was. Highly recommend olde Tymes !

We decided that food was one of the most important aspects of our wedding day. Being on a budget made it difficult to find a wedding caterer so we decided to source locally. My husband and I love having breakfast at Old Tymes so it made sense to go through them, it was defiantly the best choice. Deb was awesome to work with and really listened to our needs and helped us get the most out of our money. Whenever I had a question not only did she have an answer but she would reply super quickly. We rented our linens and chairs through them as well and everything was beautiful. The food was hot and delicious plus they offer enough of a variety to satisfy the different eating habits of all my guests. The staff were friendly and good humored. My guests were super impressed!

Old Tymes catered my daughter's wedding at the Branford house in Groton. I couldn't have made a better choice. They really know there stuff and made the day go so smoothly. I would definitely choose them again.

Simply-DO IT! Deb goes above and beyond to make the event the best ever. She couldn't have been more helpful and knowledgeable. Made it so easy for us "do it yourselfers" and we can't say enough about her. The food was exceptional at an awesome reasonable price. Everything was done top notch without a hitch. Could not have done this wedding without her. Forever grateful! Highly recommended!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We used Olde Tymes to cater our wedding, after a friend recommended them to us. From the first time we sat down with her, Debbie was fantastic! She is very knowledgeable with wedding planning and even made menu accommodations for the kids! :)
She came and set up everything the day before the wedding, which made our set up easier, because we knew where she needed everything she'd be using.
We had a small wedding of about 30 people, and Debbie did the service all by herself, and did a fantastic job! The food was hot, and there was enough to feed a small country!
We would like to thank you Debbie, and Olde Tymes, for helping make our day even more special! We would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a catering service. Thank you!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
