Exceptional Experience!

Exceptional experience! Laurel was our day of coordinator and Powerhouse was our catering and bar staff for our wedding day. They were so helpful and were able to accommodate different dietary needs, and created an experience that was seamless on our big day! It was also great to have both catering and bar staff all from one place. They handled all of the rentals, provided floral decor for the serving areas, and set up my DIY decor too!

Exceptional Caterer in Every Way

I cannot recommend Powerhouse enough! We were in touch with Laurel throughout our wedding planning and she was incredibly helpful, quick, and personal with responses. We planned a destination wedding up in Salem from our home in NJ. We booked Powerhouse without doing a tasting just because I was so confident with their options and because of how wonderful Laurel was to work with. When we were able to make it up to MA to do a tasting we found that the food did not disappoint! Everyone raved about the plated dinner and the autumnal harvest menu they created. From cocktail hour to dessert, everything was prepared perfectly and had robust and delicious flavors.

One thing that I really appreciated about Powerhouse was their flexibility with menus. Most wedding caterers had a firm set menu and didn't offer customizations to dishes. When I asked Laurel if we could edit something, she said of course. They can even replicate family recipes and we had my husband's grandmother's recipe recreated for the soup course as a surprise. All of the staff on site for the wedding day were kind and professional.

Aside from the food, Laurel was incredibly helpful with the planning process. We had productive phone calls where we reviewed rentals needed and she double checked lists before we sent them to vendors. Her assistance was truly imperative and appreciated and definitely helped us keep organized during planning.

Wedding planning can be stressful, but if you use Powerhouse you can be confident all of your catering will go smoothly and you'll have a delicious and memorable meal!
