The Pantry Catering g did a fantastic job with our event. They were very patient and thorough as we worked through all the details and accommodated the various dietary needs with grace and understanding. Most importantly, the food was fantastic! I highly recommend them!

My partner and I decided that having a good meal was an important part of our wedding. I read some good things about The Pantry's food online, and they seemed like a good fit for our event, we went with them. Their team and chef worked with us to create a memorable meal that reflected our tastes. The food was amazing! We had a salad with crab and a fried green tomato that I will never forget :) They were also able to adapt the menu to accommodate our vegan and vegetarian guests. We received many compliments about the food from everyone.

The crew that they sent to work the event were wonderful. They were attentive and friendly and really projected a sense that they cared about their work (and our event). They made us more relaxed and our guests feel welcomed.

Our wedding was the first catered event that I have ever planned, and The Pantry was easy to work with and the result was better than I could have imagined. I could not recommend them highly enough.

I can wholeheartedly recommend The Pantry for light hors d'oeuvres, desserts and drinks. We had this catering service provided by The Pantry after our morning wedding ceremony. We were locked out of the venue for 30 minutes and everything got started much later than expected. Kristy and her team jumped into action and really helped us out! They had cold drinks ready to go as the first guests arrived, and they even helped the venue set-up chairs on short notice. They went above and beyond their responsibilities for the day. I was very stressed that morning with the venue delay, but the moment I spoke with Kristy, I knew everything was going to be fine. She is a true professional and really understands how to prioritize needs and delegate items to her staff during a moment of minor crisis. The small bites we ordered were great, and the drinks were also excellent and refreshing on a hot day!

We were married at Baltimore's Rawling's Conservatory with approximately 55 attendees. The Pantry suggested roaming tapas for our event and it helped created a casual, free flowing party. The food and drinks were spectacular. The quality of our menu and ease of working with the entire staff is memorable. In particular, Kristy McKenna, director of events, and Will, a catering crew member that celebrated and became one of our family, really demonstrated the lengths The Pantry will go to be a premier choice for your party needs. We are exceptionally pleased to have them support our wedding.

We had a really positive experience with The Pantry catering, beginning with our first contact and ending with our wedding night. After talking with several caterers about our cocktail party vision for our New Year's Eve wedding, we were getting a little discouraged. One caterer told us that we should do a buffet dinner with no seating (what?!) and another scoffed at our ideal budget and gave us a minimum budget that was almost double what we were hoping. Then we reached out to The Pantry (we should have known, because our venue said that they're a favorite!) and we were so happy with the responsiveness, flexibility, and creative ideas for our wedding!

We had our tasting, and even though we were requesting a cocktail style wedding, the chef still served us an amazing four course meal with champagne, all free of charge. It felt like we were old friends as we ate and discussed ideas. They were happy to work with our budget and gave us ideas on how to best reduce costs.

In the coming months, there was a turnover with the person at The Pantry who was managing our wedding, but the transition was seamless. We had several meetings with Amanda and I felt completely at ease in her hands. The wedding day went off without a hitch, our rentals were gorgeous, service was amazing, and everyone was raving about the food.

We knew from the start that we would be happy with choosing The Pantry and we are so pleased that we chose them for our wedding. We can't recommend them highly enough!!

All along, one of the main things we wanted our wedding to be was a celebration with great food and drink. If that’s what you’re looking for, book The Pantry as soon as possible. Our catering search was a comedy of errors, including double bookings of appointments, missed calls, laughably expensive quotes, and one caterer that invited us into their kitchen for a tasting that blew our socks off.

Daniel and his team were welcoming, personable, and served absolutely incredible food. You’d expect the staff to be used to certain dishes and get a bit tired of the same courses. But when one of his workers heard what he was making, she whipped around in her chair, exclaimed “He’s MAKING the Caribbean PORK!?!?!?! THAT MEANS WE GET LEFTOVERS!!!!!” And that should kind of tell you exactly what you’re getting yourself into. We left the tasting and sat in the car for ten minutes debating if we should book without trying other caterers (again, given the experience we had, this was a legitimate question).

Expect a personalized menu (we had the aforementioned Caribbean pork, chicken tacos, and the bistro filet) with all the necessary sides at exactly the same high caliber of cooking. The steak was perfectly done, and even the groom’s normally picky Texan brother commented that it was the first time he’d had steak at a wedding that wasn’t overcooked. Everyone else present continually complimented the food throughout the evening.

There were some slight hiccups along the way; namely the coordinator we’d been working with since booking suddenly changed… which we didn’t know until our walkthrough with the venue when someone we’d never met walked in. Things went smoothly from that point, but it still added a slightly stressful wrinkle two weeks before the wedding.

5/5, one of the most important parts of our reception was absolutely perfect and exceeded everyone’s expectations.

The Pantry Catering catered my daughters wedding this past weekend at The American Visionary Arts Museum. They did an absolutely fabulous job and the food and service was perfect. More importantly they were so great to work with - we met with them many times during the year before and they handled all of our requests. They were so accommodating throughout and especially the days leading up to the wedding. We loved seeing the same faces at our wedding that worked with us throughout the planning. Daniel, Jamie and staff we cannot thank you enough for everything you did to make Nikki and Ryan's wedding perfect.

I cannot recommend The Pantry enough. They worked with us to create a menu to accommodate food allergies and sensitivities, the food was beyond fantastic, and the service was flawless. Chef Daniel and Director of events Jamie are some of the nicest and easiest people to deal with. I am a teacher and did a lot of research before selecting them. They exceeded my expectations. Thank you for being such an important part of my wedding!

The pantry was our top choice and they didn't disappoint! The food was out of this world and our guest are still talking about it! They were very accommodating to our guest with dietary restriction/needs. Our kosher keeping guest we're extremely impressed with the meal provided to them saying it was way beyond what they expected and that it was 'hot and very delicious!'
Jamie was great and kept communications flowing smoothly, she also helped keep things on track day of. We would recommend these guys hands down to our friends who don't just want a good caterering crew but want a great one!

What can I say... hands down The Pantry Catering was amazing!!!! MaryAnne, Jamie and Chef truly took care of us from our initial quote, to the tasting, to the day of. Our guests are still raving about the food, he mini burgers were delicious, crab cakes were divine, and the braised short rib was a winner!!!! Service and set up the day of our event was awesome!!!!!! The bartender never let mine or my husbands glass be empty, the service staff was stellar, constantly check in on my husband and myself to make sure we had what we needed. They even made delicious to go boxes for us to share later that evening. Thank you the Pantry for everything!!!!
