The best decision we made for our wedding

Snuffin’s was phenomenal as our wedding caterer! The food was incredible; several guests told us it was the best wedding meal they’ve ever had. The chicken was amazing, and I never imagined I could be impressed by vegetables. The service was also flawless. The entire team was professional, attentive, and seamless in their execution, making the evening feel effortless.

Annie went above and beyond throughout the process, even recommending other amazing vendors. We tried several other caterers during our search, and none came even close to the quality and attention to detail that Snuffin’s delivers. Truly exceptional from start to finish!

Best Caterer Hands Down!

From our first tasting and consultation to our bubble send-off at the end of the night, Snuffin's did a fantastic job catering our wedding. It's hard to find a caterer that has both delicious food and high quality service, but we found that with Annie and Snuffin's! Every single detail was perfect and I received multiple texts the next day from guests praising the food! Annie and her entire team were amazing to work with and it meant so much that the owner herself was in attendance and catered to us personally. I know weddings are expensive, but if you are looking for the one thing to invest in, this caterer is the one to choose!

BEST experience with Snuffins!

My husband and I had the BEST experience with Snuffins for our wedding! We worked with Austin for nearly 1.5 years before our date, and she was exceptionally helpful, organized, and responsive. Austin helped us to create our own menu and pick beautiful place settings that would fit within our budget, and we could not have been happier with how everything turned out! Guests are still talking about the food from our reception - everything was just perfect. Snuffins coordinated with our venue seamlessly during the planning process, and we were so impressed with their attentiveness to detail and expertise. Snuffins also handled various aspects of setup and cleanup, the transitions between appetizers/dinner/dessert were so smooth, and all the staff members were incredibly helpful and professional! My husband and I also loved the basket of food Snuffins sent us off with - it included samples of each dish and dessert that we had served at the reception! Such a special and thoughtful detail! I cannot say enough good things, and we highly recommend Snuffins!!

Amazing wedding vendor!

Michael and the rest of the team at Snuffin’s was amazing to work with. When we first contacted them, Michael was great about giving a detailed explanation of how they operated, the options they provide, and the cost and breakdown associated with each option. He was very responsive to communicate (both email and phone) and when he wasn’t available, another member of the team was able to answer questions on his behalf and let us know when he’d be back. They provided a complementary tasting which was delicious and put our mind at ease and were able to make recommendations and adjust to the customization requests we made. We had last minute requests the week leading up to the wedding day and they were able to accommodate that well. As a bonus, Michael is a sommelier and gave guidance on wine pairings and amount to buy and advised us where to buy the wines from!
We ended up going with the bacon tots and crab cakes for appetizers, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, green beans and seasonal salad for sides, along with roast beef and basil glazed salmon for the main. On the day of, the execution of the buffet style dinner was seamless, and they even served plated meals for the bride and groom. The touches for the presentation of the menu, table and wine bar set up reflected the attention to details and gave us and our guests a wonderful experience. At the end of the night, they even packed a picnic basket with all the food along with wrapping all the leftovers so we could easily take it with us. Overall, we can’t recommend Snuffin’s highly enough as they provided a stress-free planning process and impeccable execution for our special day!

You simply must work with Snuffin’s!

Working with Snuffin's Catering was the best decision we made for our wedding. The food was delicious and custom-tailored to our guests' dietary restrictions. Their staff at our event were incredibly helpful, professional, and friendly.

We want to specifically commend the hard work and dedication of our event lead, Austin. We started working with her before the pandemic, and she stayed in constant communication and offered support and insight along the way of multiple postponements and other Covid challenges.

Snuffin's services and staff made our day so easy, and our guests enjoyed the food!

Top notch food and service!

Snuffins was a delight to work with and did an excellent job rolling with the punches when we had to delay our wedding 3 times due to Covid. When we were finally able to celebrate, they cooked an incredible menu that suited our tastes perfectly and received rave reviews from all our guests. Even now a month after the event, friends and family still comment about how delicious the food was! The service was spectacular and we loved the basket of leftovers they made for us at the end of the night. An excellent value for the price!

Fabulous to work with.

Who would have thought that we would be planning a wedding for 22 months, but that is exactly what happened (thanks Covid)! Working with Snuffins was great the whole time. They worked with us through 3 date changes and even some food changes. Wry responsive and helpful throughout the whole process. They were fabulous. Would highly recommend. Sounders scarf was not part of the original table setting!

Catering for our wedding

If you are looking for a caterer, look no further! Snuffin's catering offers amazing food, an amazing staff, and an overall amazing experience. We were thrilled with how easy they made the whole experience, from tastings to finalizing the menu and rental equipment. Day of the wedding Austin made sure all of the tables were set up correctly, that the buffet was displayed beautifully, and that her staff was doing everything in a timely manner. All of the appetizers came out warm and the buffet food was delicious! On top of that, Austin went above and beyond helping coordinate our wedding ceremony and the rest of the day. Without Snuffin's our day wouldn't have been as incredible as it was. Thank you all so much for your hard work and dedication that was put into our special day!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
