Affordable and delicious

The staff and owner of this catering company are incredible. It is so affordable and Dan will work with you to create the menu of your dreams and at a price you can’t pass up- plus, all of your guests will comment on how delicious it is. Highly recommend!

Amazing experience!

If you’re thinking about going with Buffet Way, don’t hesitate! Working with Dan was amazing. For the past year or so of planning our wedding, communication has been top notch. There have been so many changes that had to be made due to the COVID pandemic and our own tweaks, and The Buffet Way didn’t hesitate once. They were focused on making sure everything was exactly how we pictured it and we were confident going into our day that things would fall into place because of their professionalism and planning. The food was fantastic and everyone loved it! They accommodated some vegan options for our brunch wedding as well as allergies and even set up our dessert station which wasn’t even provided by them. Between the service, flexibility, amazing price and overall experience, I wouldn’t go with anyone else for your catering needs!

Amazing!!!

Choosing a catering company was by far the hardest part of planning. But, once we found Dan and his team it was so easy. Dan worked hard to make everything perfect and took care of everything. They were so flexible and mentioned how excited they were to be catering our wedding as well. Day of, everyone talked about how amazing the food was and everything went so smoothly. The price was SO reasonable and the food and service was incredible. I highly recommend choosing Buffet Way!

Excellent service for affordable wedding catering. Easy to negotiate a menu that fits your budget.

Very flexible and reliable. Most affordable & quality option for wedding catering out there. Catering staff endured a heat wave in the venue and did an excellent job. We received many compliments from guests about the food. Highly recommend!

Awesome experience with Dan and team

Dan and his team at Buffet Way were exceptional to work with. They catered our wedding last night. The food was excellent, our guests were so pleased! One stop shopping, from appetizers to dessert, even our wedding cake was done by Buffet Way. Dan made the whole process stress free for us. Definitely recommend these guys! You won’t regret it.

We loved the Buffet Way as our caterer at our wedding!

I would definitely recommend the Buffet Way to a friend! Dan was friendly and got back to us shortly after we inquired about pricing for our wedding. The pricing is phenomenal and the food was wonderful on the day of and we even got to have a taste testing before to see what types of sides we wanted with our turkey dinner and had a cake testing too all as part of the price. Dan was there the week before and was in contact with our vendor for the reception and helped us to have a stress free day on our wedding. Thanks again!

Best caterer ever!

The Buffet Way was such a great company to work with! They made planning a breeze, and it was great to know it was one less thing we had to deal with during all the chaos. 10/10 would recommend to anyone with catering needs!

Fantastic Caterer

The Buffet Way was a perfect caterer for our autumn wedding, where our menu was basically Thanksgiving with all the fixings. The service was impeccable and the cake was divine. Very affordable and very delicious. Highly recommended!

Booking Dan from Buffet Way to cater our wedding = best choice ever. Our guests LOVED the food and Dan was great to work with throughout the planning process! His prices were very reasonable, and he was responsive and helpful. We were looking for someone who could provide relatively traditional wedding services (cocktail hour, dinner, dessert) as well as late night food for the after party (at the same location) and Dan was able to provide all of that. He's a professional who knows what he is doing, and will absolutely deliver. If you're on the fence, go with Buffet Way- we are so glad that we did!

We worked with Dan Mauro for catering our wedding reception (~160 people) in November 2015 in Concord, MA. We spoke with a lot of caterers in the area trying to find the best fit for our venue, budget, and style. We'd pick Buffet Way again without question.

Dan wasn't pushy at all, had a wide variety of options, gave great menu advice and suggestions when we were unsure. He was very responsive to emails and calls, and he was up front about logistics and costs which helped everything go quickly and smoothly. He obviously has a lot of experience making events like this happen.

The staff was very friendly and ready to help at the venue, and everything was very well organized. The food was fantastic, fresh, and presented nicely. Couldn't have asked for more - highly recommended. Thanks again!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
