The Perfect Wedding Day

The Paramount Events team elevated our wedding from good to great! Every front-of-house staff member was professional and attentive. All of the food came out exactly like it did at the tasting. All of our guests were raving about the food all night, from the hors d'oeuvres to the late night!

The hors d'oeuvres were passed to all guests, the soup came out hot, the entrees were restaurant quality, the sweets and late night were a hit! You could taste the freshness in all the dishes and the presentation was beautiful. I also loved that the leftover food was donated to a local shelter and any additional food scraps were composted, what a great initiative to be more sustainable!

Rachel and Caroline on the sales team were so easy to work with. They were very responsive and flexible when I needed to make changes. They ensured all the vendors worked together to bring the wedding vision to life!

The attention to detail was apparent from every staff member, and they were proud of their work (as they should be!). It was evident that Paramount has a great culture and a fantastic team that loves what they do.

BEST wedding food we could’ve dreamt of!

We selected Paramount to cater our wedding and we could not have been happier! Rachel and team were so responsive and helpful in answering our questions, and from our tasting to our wedding day, everything was flawless! Our wedding is going on two months ago and to this day, we and our guests still think about and rave about the food! Paramount is friendly, professional, thoughtful, and their food can’t be beat!! Perfect caterer for a wedding or other special event! Thank you, Rachel and Peramount!!

amazing choice

We worked with Paramount for our wedding at sarabande. It was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. To start, the team was AMAZING. Every person we worked with was so kind, knowledgeable and helpful. When we had our tasting, not only was it nearly impossible to choose, because everything was amazing, but we had so much fun meeting the team we had been communicating for the months leading up to that.

We are both vegetarians and it was important for us to have an all vegetarian wedding. Paramount provided such delicious vegetarian appetizers and meals that all of our non-vegetarian guests raved about how good the food was.

When selecting vendors, we were overwhelmed by good options but after eating at Eden (which is the affiliated restaurant), we were sure it was going to be worth the investment. What we did not realize was how attentive the staff would be, how many things were included in our proposal (like cake cutting, plates, silverware etc), and how amazing the staff would be the day of. We had served meals, and each table had their own waitstaff. Our guest mentioned how well timed the food how attentive the waitstaff and bar tenders were all night. They were also so accommodating when it came to our bar menu - we wanted to have a full bar menu with 5 cocktails, plus a full non-alcoholic menu with 4 mocktails. Not only were they fully accommodating to our vision, but did an amazing job.

Overall, there was not a single pain point with the Paramount team. Everyone was helpful, kind and a joy to work with. Could not recommend them enough.
