Exceptional Service, Seamless Execution, and Incredible Food

We had an incredible experience with Traditions Catering & Events for our wedding. From the very beginning, Annie and Zanny were both professional, organized, and genuinely invested in helping make our day special. They made the planning process feel smooth and stress-free, which meant a lot to us.

During our tasting, we felt so welcomed, and it was clear how much pride the team takes in their work. On the day of the wedding, everything ran smoothly. Many of our family members and friends commented on how attentive and professional the staff were. Salads were placed promptly, tables were cleared quickly, and the team stayed on top of everything throughout the evening.The food was absolutely delicious. Our guests loved it, and we heard compliments about the meal all night long.

Traditions Catering played a big role in making our celebration feel seamless and memorable. We’re so grateful to Annie, Zanny, and the entire team for their professionalism, care, and attention to detail. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caterer who truly delivers a wonderful experience.

Amazing Portsmouth Wedding

Traditions catering was one of my top three choices when trying to find a caterer. We were sold on their meatballs as their prices were competitive and reasonable. I worked closely with Zanny and Annie over at Traditions. They were amazing to work with and would highly recommend. They took the time not only to create a connection with us, but got to know us personally. We live two hours away and communication was key to plan this wedding. They would answer emails within 24 hours and call when needed. The tasting was amazing and we even got to meet the chef who was proud of the meals he created. As he should be, because it was that delicious. Leading up to the big day, Annie made it easy to contact her as I work in healthcare with odd hours too. Fast forward to the wedding day itself, it was seemless, the team that was present was absolutely amazing and kind, they handled small details, and their set up was beautiful. The food was not only delicious but HOT. we had one guest who said that when she goes to weddings, the food is usually cold by the time it gets to her but she complimented that it wasn't room temp. We ended up deciding on the chicken and the steak for entrees. Would highly recommend the chicken as it was stuffed with spinach and a cream sauce. It was absolutely delicious and even better as left overs. In summary, Traditions catering made my day easier, was absolutely delicious, and would hire again for a big event. I couldn't have imagined going with anyone else for our wedding day.

Great food everyone couldn't stop talking about.

Traditions were on our venue's preferred vendor list, and we're so glad we chose them! They were the only caterer that offered a tasting, which gave us the chance to meet the chef and our sales consultant, Zanny, and sample the amazing food ahead of time.

The team was professional, efficient, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. On the wedding day, everything ran smoothly - and our guest couldn't stop talking about how delicious the food was!

Highly recommend!

Perfect from beginning to end!

My husband and I wanted to sincerely thank you for everything you did to make our son and daughter-in-law’s wedding day so special.
Your attention to detail, flexibility, and willingness to listen made the entire experience feel easy and stress-free. You were always available to answer all our questions, we had a lot, and ensured everything was in place. Your presence at the event gave us great peace of mind.
The food was absolutely delicious and we have received countless compliments from family and friends.
What meant the most to us was the genuine care you showed throughout the process. You made us feel like someone was truly looking out for our family, not just doing a job. Your positive attitude, kindness, and the extra effort you put in, including going above and beyond to attend our son’s football game, did not go unnoticed.
Thank you for making such a joyful occasion even more meaningful. Our family will gladly continue to recommend you without reservation.

A Preferred Vendor That Truly Shows Up

We had the pleasure of working with Traditions Catering for a wedding reception at Riverview Centre, and they truly exceeded expectations. I worked closely with Annie and Jimmy, and the experience was seamless from start to finish.

As one of our Preferred Vendors, it absolutely showed. Their team was organized, professional, clean, and incredibly helpful, making the reception run smoothly not only for the couple and their guests, but also from a venue operations standpoint. Communication was clear, timelines were respected, and their attention to detail made a big difference on event day.

From a Venue Manager perspective, it’s always refreshing to work with a catering team that understands the flow of a wedding day and operates as a true partner within the space. The couple had a wonderful experience — and honestly, it was even better on our end.

We look forward to working with Traditions Catering again in the near future and highly recommend them for any wedding or special event!

Team Work!

As the Day-of Coordinator for my friends beautiful wedding at the Slover Library, we had the pleasure of working closely with their team. Annie was amazing. In the short time we had to make the day for my friend amazing, she kept us on point.

Traditions Catering was truly exceptional. Their staff moved with professionalism, efficiency, and complete attentiveness to the flow of the day. They were quiet when needed, quick when necessary, and consistently supportive of not just the couple and their guests, but of every vendor involved. Their cooperation and willingness to assist played a huge role in keeping the timeline smooth and the atmosphere stress-free.

And of course, the food was absolutely amazing—our team heard rave reviews from guests all evening.

We are grateful to have partnered with such a talented catering company, and we look forward to working with Traditions Catering again at future events. They helped make this wedding day unforgettable!
