Everything we asked for and more!

We had a very hard time deciding on a caterer. We wanted someone who would not give us stereotypical wedding food, as we are foodies and love innovative eats. When we spoke with Michael on the phone we were 100% sold. His flexibility on menu creation, his help with other wedding things outside of food and his great ideas sold us. The day of, they delivered and then some. I can't count how many guests came up to us during and after the wedding about how great the food was. We highly urge you to have Michael and his company do your next event. If we didn't live across country he would be catering every event we do.

Delicious food, excellent service!

Portsmouth Catering Co was one of the first vendors we booked for our wedding. Michael and his team were incredible from day one! He helped us curate a menu that fit our tastes and our budget. Every step of the way as we had questions or problems, Michael had an answer for everything! We got so many compliments on how delicious the food was all night. We are so appreciative of the hard work PCC put in to make our wedding day so perfect!

Great Catering Service

Portsmouth Catering Co. did an excellent job catering our wedding. Despite the wet weather, the servers always made sure that we (bride and groom) had plenty to eat/drink and even brought appetizers to our family members who weren’t able to make it to cocktail hour because of the heavy rain. Michael was also great to work with; he was super helpful during the planning process and cooked a variety of delicious food for our big day. In fact, we received numerous compliments from our guests about how good the appetizers and dinner buffet were!

AMAZING is an understatement

As most know, food and beverage are some of the most important concepts when hosting a wedding. Mike and his team put on a flawless evening - I can’t even explain how many people RAVED over the food. Let me tell you if you're looking for a delicious meal - GET THE SHORT RIB.

Thank you so much to Mike, Nic and the rest of the team for making our wedding so beautiful.

10 stars - must have wedding catering

10 STARS!!! (At least!) Michael and his team MUST be your wedding caterer, there is no doubt. Michael spent countless hours with me and my family to ensure we had the perfect menu. He accommodated every one of our quirky menu requests, including the most delicious (and cute) sesame noddle takeout boxes during apps! He also curated an incredible Noah board that my husband and I got to enjoy while taking our portraits because Michael’s team prioritized getting us food the whole night. We were even served our late night snack of pretzel bites while on the dance floor! The assortment of our buffet bar was incredible and our guests LOVED getting to taste so many different flavors (that complimented each other) on one plate. Michael and his team even helped us come up with the BEST summer signature drinks.

Great food, service & extremely friendly

We loved working with Michael at Portsmouth Catering company & his creative input to what we were looking for with our family’s varied palates. The food was amazing with everything complementing one another. We thoroughly enjoyed the food & couldn’t think of anyone else who would customize the food to us.

Michael sat down and listened to all of our ideas for what wanted the food at our wedding to be. We had to mix two different cultures together and knew it would be a challenge. He took our feedback and did a great job of creating a menu that had everything we were looking for and more. Everyone at the wedding loved the food.

Portsmouth Catering

Mike & his crew did a fantastic job on our special day. The food and service was amazing. They were very professional in every aspect. I was also was taken back by their clean up efforts after dinner was served. Everything was cleaned and put away quickly and quietly so that we could continue to enjoy our special night. We are foodies and Mike had suggested several creative dishes to do instead of your typical basic choices. 10/10 would recommend them for any sort of event that needs catering!
