Wonderful experience

We love Sara’s Cooking and Catering! My husband and I love good food and wanted food that suited our style. Sara built us a menu that was delicious, had plenty of food, worked within our budget and was able to accommodate allergies, dietary restrictions etc. Alana was easy to get in touch with and replied immediately to all of my questions. Our guests loved that there were lots of options for everyone and we received many compliments on how good it was. Alana checked in with me throughout the night to make sure we were happy and made sure I knew if anything needed to be tweaked. The team set up and broke down all of our own items from the tables making it so much easier for us to relax and enjoy the night. We would go with them again in a heartbeat for another special occasion.

Planner review

Sara and her team were amazing to work with! It is not often that the staff will be as attentive to the vendors as they are to the guests. Sara's staff was kind, accessible and very helpful. It is not often that us vendors get this type of service from a caterer, so when it happens, I like to acknowledge it. The food was delicious and hot! They were informative, and truly a pleasure to work with! If you are looking for a great full service caterer, Sara's Cooking and catering is Planner recommended!

Delicious food, incredibly professional service

Sara was recommended by our wedding planner (Once Upon a Time Wedding Services) and we’re so glad she was. Sara, Jackie, and the rest of the staff made our wedding day so special and tasty. The tasting was incredible and ever since we couldn’t wait for our wedding day to taste the delicious food again. They worked with us as our guest list number changed, worked with our rental companies to help us get everything we needed within our budget, and made the day-of great by making sure we actually ate (crucial) and that there was enough food at both cocktail hour and dinner to make sure everyone had enough food to power them through our epic reception dance party. They were also so instrumental in making sure tables were set up, the flow of the reception and cocktail hour was right, and that the night went off without a hitch. I didn’t realize all the tasks a good caterer does to make a wedding successful and Sara’s did SO MUCH for our special day. One other note - Sara’s worked with us for a unique (read: not the standard wedding fare) menu that I’ve seen at no other weddings - truly unique and personalized to our tastes. DO NOT hesitate to book Sara’s for your wedding or event - you won’t regret it!

Delicious Food!

Sara and her team (especially Alana) came up with a delicious menu for our barn wedding. Alana worked with us to stay within our budget and still come up with an a rustic, fresh, farm to table menu that fit our venue perfectly. The guests all loved the food and we got many compliments. We can't recommend them highly enough.

I truly loved Sara’s Cooking & Catering and highly recommend them to anyone! We hired Sara’s catering for our wedding and they exceeded all of our expectations. They were extremely flexible from the beginning and always willing to work with us regarding our menu and costs. We had the wedding at our house, and it was pouring rain throughout the whole day. Sara’s Cooking & Catering were so incredibly kind, hard-working, and were able to adapt to the weather. They set things up on the fly due to the weather and made everything look better than we even planned. Oh, and the food? Delicious! Our guests continually complimented the food and service during and weeks after the wedding. Sara’s Cooking & Catering made our wedding special, and I can honestly say we will never forget them. We would easily hire them again and I highly suggest you hire them if you are interested. Great food, great service, and great people. To everyone at Sara’s Catering, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much for all that you did for us on our wedding day. Peace.

We chose Sara's cooking for our son's wedding. Sadly, our son and his fiance needed to postpone their wedding indefinitely three weeks before the actual date. Because so many people had already purchased plane tickets to come out, we hosted a friends and family event in its place. We decided to turn our lemon situation into lemonade. Sara was most gracious and accommodating in switching gears to meet our needs for this new venue. She did so with utmost kindness as well. The food was flavorful, tasted homemade, had an international flare, and was presented beautifully. I was drawn to choosing Sara's Cooking right from the beginning because her mouth-watering menu grabbed my attention. My husband and I were not disappointed and neither were our guests. We heard positive comments about the food throughout the evening. The chefs pay close attention to detail, were friendly, fun and most accommodating from start to finish. Sara's Cooking is the best! I highly recommend her and her team.

Sara's Cooking provided wonderful food and such great service for our wedding!

With a very small wedding, having a delicious menu was a priority for my husband and I.

Sara was a pleasure to work with and was so helpful in finalizing the menu and arrangements for setting up on our wedding day. Sara was extremely flexible and came several hours earlier to set up to accommodate our needs at the venue of our reception.

We received only positive feedback on the food and Sara's service at the wedding.

If you want great and reasonably priced catering for your wedding, we highly recommend Sara's Cooking!

Sara,
I can't tell you how fortunate I feel to have found you on the web. I heard two things consistently, after my honeymoon. #1 Your dress was gorgeous! and #2 The food at your wedding was fabulous! Where did you find that catering company? I'm passing your website information along to all my girlfriends. Because of your catering they think I should be a wedding planner.

I recently had Sara Eller cater my outdoor wedding and she was FANTASTIC. It took a alot of searching to find a caterer that was both reasonably priced and could provide delicious food. The food was especially important to my husband and I since we're both vegetarians and many caterers we had spoken to either provided us with a very basic menu that showed they knew little about vegetarian food or tried to overcharge us. But Sara was able to create a menu that was just what we were looking for at an affordable cost -- Butternut Squash Ravioli, Eggplant Rollatini, and a Zucchini and Spinach White Lasanga. She was kind enough to come to our house to do a tasting, worked around our budget, and she drove all the way to Buzzards Bay to do a walk through of our location to get a better idea of logistics in order to properly plan for the event. After the wedding, even many of our non-vegetarian friends and family raved about the food, and about how great the catering staff was. I would highly recommend Sara and her staff for all occasions!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
