    Root and stem was a great choice for our wedding. Food was amazing and very easy to work with.

    I want to thank everyone at Root and Stem for making our wedding memorable. The food and service was superb. Guests and family are still dreaming about the food! Michelle was amazing thank you for helping me and communicate with me and keeping me at low stress. The Chefs and team are superb.

    Root and Stem's reply:

    Thank you for the wonderful review, Juan !It was so much fun working with you to customize your wedding with all of the geometric design, crystals, mac n cheese bar, creme brulee and the suckling pig (Lechon) of course! We wish you and Gregory a beautiful life together filled with love, laughter and lots of delicious food :)

    Best,

    Absolutely Incredible

    Our experience working with Root and Stem for our June 2022 wedding was absolutely perfect. Michelle was a dream to work with - organized, responsive and flexible with a good sense of humor. The whole process of choosing a menu, making a game plan for the wedding day, and coordinating food for many dietary restrictions could not have run more smoothly.

    The catering team took minimal instruction from me (the bride) about the table settings and executed our vision for the asthetic of the reception perfectly. Service at the wedding was also very well run - plates were cleared at the appropriate time, pacing of the courses was spot on, dirty plates/glasses cleared promptly during cocktail hour, etc.

    And last but certainly not least - THE FOOD! We are now two months post-wedding and our friends are still talking to us about the food. Several have said it was the best food they've ever eaten at a wedding. One said it was the best chicken he's ever eaten anywhere. If you want food at your wedding that people find to be delicious and not just "pretty good for wedding food," look no further.

    10/10 to R&S!

    Root and Stem's reply:

    Margaret, thank you for the best review ever! We enjoyed working with you, your mom and Jared at Winding Creek . You are such a sweet couple and we wish you all the happiness in the world with your beautiful baby boy !

    Best,

    Michelle Pullia & Root & Stem Catering Team

I had the privilege of working with Craig and his team at a lovely farm wedding! This was my first opportunity to work with Root and Stem and I must say I will be recommending them to others. First off...Craig creates amazing farm to table dishes which were fresh and delicious. Not only was the food tasty but it was presented beautifully! The wedding couple chose a more family style approach to their service and Craig and his staff executed seamlessly! Not only was Craig a delight but his staff was equally attentive and sweet. They were just people you enjoyed being around and working with. I am grateful for the opportunity to work together and look forward to serving with them again!
