Absolutely incredible! If they are a choice of vendor, and even if they’re not, absolutely hire Peppers Artful Events to do your catering. We were lucky enough to have for our wedding at New England Botanic Garden this August. Early on we met with Carolyn, who is absolutely incredible at her job, who was able to walk us through the entire process of meal selection, beverage selection and possibilities for rentals and then day of planning. She walked us through the tasting, giving us all the options and possibilities of combinations of apps, starters and entrees and then finished off with an incredible chocolate cake.
Our day -f team was also incredible and I’m so grateful that after a morning of heavy rain, that somehow magically cleared, the team were set and ready to host cocktail hour outside so our guests could enjoy the terrace and Winter Garden at NEBG. For the entire evening, the team at Peppers made everything SO EASY. Overall, it was easily the best wedding food I’ve ever had. Huge shout out to the Statler Chicken, which is their specialty dish; I’m still getting compliments on the food now almost a month later. Peppers were extremely accommodating with guest allergies and restrictions and directly made sure that those guests were given proper alternatives. I could go on and on about how incredible it all was. We are so happy with them and highly recommend them to anyone looking for event catering.

We chose Peppers Artful Events after meeting with five highly regarded catering companies, and it ended up being one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

What initially stood out was their presentation and attention to detail. Their Instagram photos are stunning, but what impressed us most was that the real experience lived up to the photos. The food, plating, and overall presentation were every bit as beautiful in person as they appeared online.

From the planning process through the wedding day itself, the entire Peppers team was exceptional. Professional, organized, and incredibly attentive, but never stuffy or overly formal. They struck the perfect balance of making everything feel seamless while maintaining the warm, relaxed atmosphere we wanted for our guests. Our event manager truly went above and beyond. She helped with venue setup and décor, assisted our florist with styling details, and made sure every aspect of the event came together flawlessly. When the place cards I had ordered arrived unusable just before the wedding, she calmly stepped in and helped create new ones. It was one of those unexpected moments that could have been stressful, but she handled it without missing a beat.

The service throughout cocktail hour and dinner was equally impressive. The staff seemed to have an instinct for knowing exactly when to step in and when to fade into the background. Glasses were refilled, guests were taken care of, and every detail was managed effortlessly. As a bride, I never had to ask for anything. I felt genuinely cared for and was able to simply enjoy the evening, which is one of the greatest gifts a wedding vendor can provide.

And the food was outstanding. Every course was delicious, beautifully presented, and consistently executed from the first tray passed at cocktail hour to the final plate served at dinner. It's rare to find a vendor that excels equally in food, presentation, service, and execution, but Peppers delivered on all four.

Peppers played such an important role in making our wedding feel effortless and unforgettable. We cannot recommend them highly enough. If you're considering Peppers, stop looking and book them!

Peppers Artful Events is simply fantastic: they did an exceptional job catering my daughter’s 200-person wedding. We did extensive passed appetizers and then creative food stations for the wedding dinner (Chinese dim sum, Fish and meat street tacos, and arancini balls with three dipping sauces) and dessert (individual fruit pies). We had such fun working with their team in coming up with the menu, as well as making improvements after they hosted us for a tasting dinner. The staff is super friendly, organized, warm and attentive. The bar set ups they did for us were gorgeous- with such beautiful backdrops they architected to frame the tables. In fact, they did such a great job for us I turned to them again to host a big birthday party for me at our house- and everyone raved about the extensive gourmet passed apps. I’m now recommending them to all my friends!!

Carolyn and the Peppers team were the best possible caterers we could have ever hoped for! Every bite of food was amazing (the guests raved about it after), and the level of service that everyone from Peppers provided was truly outstanding. They were kind and communicative throughout the planning process, and they treated me and our guests SO well on the wedding day. They were thoughtful, professional, attentive, and aware of every detail. I could not recommend Peppers more!

Peppers was truly incredible to work with. From getting a proposal, to the tasting, the final planning meetings, to the actual wedding day, things could not have gone more smoothly. Our friends have continued to tell us that this was hands-down the yummiest wedding food they have had.

One of the things we especially appreciated about NEBG was that it partners with Peppers Artful Events for catering and bar services. I’ve been vegan for over 13 years and really wanted to have an all-vegan wedding. From the start, Peppers' sales manager, Carolyn Sweeny, responded to that request with genuine excitement. She let us know they had done a vegan wedding at NEBG before, and she and the Peppers team worked closely with us to design a creative and crowd-pleasing menu—from passed appetizers and vibrant salads to plated entrees, a stunning cake, mini desserts, and custom signature drinks.
Speaking of drinks, I have to rave about Peppers’ mixologist (I’m sorry I don’t know their name!!). I had a loose vision of something tropical, tart, and not too sweet, maybe with passionfruit or lychee, and I asked the Peppers mixologist if a bright pink cocktail might be possible. What they created absolutely blew me away. The signature drink they created was a spectacular fuchsia cocktail made with pink botanical gin, pineapple, passionfruit, lime, dragon fruit purée, a botanical flower rim, pineapple leaf garnish, and a dehydrated dragon fruit slice. It was as delicious as it was beautiful, and it totally captured the playful, vibrant spirit we wanted to bring to the evening.
Beyond food and beverage, Carolyn and the Peppers team also supported us with design and styling. We shared inspiration photos with a Palm Springs-inspired aesthetic, and Carolyn/Peppers completely understood the assignment. She sourced the most perfect chartreuse velvet linens to pair with dusty rose napkins, which ended up looking so incredibly stunning with all of the plants and architecture in the Orangerie. They executed our vision perfectly, even bringing in their own decor to add to the aesthetic.
Our hearts are so full after working with everyone from NEBG and Peppers. Thank you all, from the bottom of our hearts, for bringing our vision to life and making our wedding so unforgettable. ❤️

We don’t know where to begin to thank Peppers Artful Events for all the work they put into our wedding, and how over-the-moon we were with their care and detail. My husband and I were married at the New England Botanic Garden in May 2025. We had a very specific vision of the day, and after meeting with Peppers, we quickly realized that they were far more than a catering team. Their team provided us artful advice on how to make our vision come to life. We wanted very creative, feast-like and "painterly" tables capes that were inspired by art, and they were so hands-on with setting up our vision (which included a lot of edible decor!). The FOOD, oh my gosh I will never stop thinking of it. Our first tasting included a tour of their hydroponic garden where they showed us all of the veggies that would be grown to feed our guests. We were floored. They helped us curate a menu that honored both of our cultural traditions, Italian and Spanish. Their menu featured artfully-presented entrees, appetizers, a memorable collection of signature cocktails, and a guest-interactive cannoli bar. Our guests have not stopped talking about how fantastic the service and food was. If we could get married a million times over, we’d pick the Peppers team each time. THANK YOU, endlessly, to their extraordinary team. We feel so lucky to have worked with you. Love, Holly and Pablo.

My wife and I had a great catering experience with Peppers at our wedding. The Peppers team was so thoughtful and worked closely with us to make sure the catering experience reflected what we wanted for the special day.

Few experiences in life, even those over long ones like ours, compare to the joy of collaborating with Peppers preparing for the party celebrating our marriage. From our initial meeting months prior, when Carolyn generously shared her extensive event planning expertise to guide us through the myriad of details, to the pre-event tasting of the exquisite menu she curated, to engaging your dedicated staff at the event, we were thoroughly impressed. Your team made the planning process enjoyable, inspiring us and exciting our loved ones about the culinary and artful aspects of the celebration. From setup to cleanup, spanning three meals across a full weekend, Peppers delighted and entertained us. It was flawless and we couldn't recommend you more.

Thank you for taking the time to understand our vision, collaborating creatively, executing perfectly, and celebrating with us to make our wedding celebration an exceptional experience for all.

Planning the wedding weekend of our daughter’s dreams was easier to manage with Peppers Artful Events handling the post-wedding brunch at our home. Working with Natalia to plan the menu and service was a breeze given how professional and flexible she was. Having to change the menu a few times did not wrinkle a thing for Natalia. Similarly, when Lindsay and her team arrived at our home, in the rain, for our outdoor tented fete, they went into action and fed, served and seamlessly tidied up around the 100+ crowd - inside. The food (omelette station and breads and salads station) were delicious and any leftovers were packed up and placed in our refrigerators and the house left neater than before. The team heartily deserved the round of applause that we offered them. I am a Peppers fan now and will recommend and look for future opportunities to work with them. They are outstanding!
