Twelve 31 Events

I was so lucky to have Twelve 31 cater my wedding at the Concord Audubon center. They were very accommodating and had a lot of ideas for the vision I had. My guests still talk about how good the food was!! I loved that the staff found my husband and I during photos to make sure we were able to try the appetizers. Overall such a great team to work with. Michael was so fast with communicating. I highly recommend!!

We had our wedding reception here last night, and I honestly can’t say enough good things about the entire experience. From start to finish, everything felt seamless, thoughtful, and truly special.

The venue itself was beautiful—clean, well-maintained, and set up perfectly for our celebration. The atmosphere struck the perfect balance between elegant and welcoming, and so many of our guests commented on how lovely everything looked.

The catering was just as impressive. The food was absolutely delicious, well-presented, and served right on time. Every dish we tried was flavorful, and it was clear that a lot of care went into both preparation and presentation. Our guests are still talking about how great the meal was!

What really stood out, though, was the staff. Everyone was professional, kind, and attentive without being intrusive. They made sure everything ran smoothly so we could actually relax and enjoy our night—which meant everything to us.

Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate such an important moment in our lives. We are so grateful to the entire team for helping make our reception unforgettable. I would absolutely recommend this venue and catering to anyone looking for a beautiful space and an stress-free, memorable experience.

The main conversations I had at my daughter's wedding, other than about the bride and groom, was how good the food was and how professional the staff were. Everything was perfectly cooked and presented. Michael and Melissa were more than professional and kind throughout the whole process. They answered every question in a very timely manner. We were more than impressed with them and their staff. They also had options for every budget, or any kind of event. Thank you so much, this made the event perfect.

This was a backyard wedding and food was being taken home by guest it was that good. The two servers we had went above and beyond.

WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

We had Twelve-31 cater our rehearsal dinner with a Taco Bar spread and it was PERFECT. The presentation was awesome and everyone loved the food.

We had a small backyard wedding that didn’t require anything more than drop-off/set-up, but that certainly doesn’t takeaway from the quality and quantity of food! Michael very helpful when it came to keeping out costs down and letting us know when we were ordering too much food. Our guests raved over everything! The Baked Stuffed Shrimp disappeared within minutes - I never did get one lol Rumor has it they were AH-MAZING! My meatball-snob guests thought the meatballs were perfection, as did I - I’m also a meatball snob. The Chicken Marsala, the Baked Mac and Cheese and the Grilled Veggies…NO WORDS other than FANTABULOUS! By the end of the night my husband and brother-in-law were hoarding leftovers so no one would take them. Melissa and Michael - thank you SO much for catering my wedding day! The food was delicious and a huge hit!

Best, Lyn & Steven

Our guests keep bringing up how great the food was at our wedding! Twelve 31 Events was wonderful to work with and the food was delicious. We were also lucky to have had the support of Michael and Melissa while navigating the pandemic. Between the many date changes and venue switches, it was not easy for any of our vendors. We are so thankful to have had such understanding people help us pull off what ended up being the perfect day and well worth the wait!

We began planning our wedding shortly after our engagement, and knew that we were going to need help. Doing a quick search on the internet, we found Melissa at Twelve 31 Events. To put it plain and simple, Melissa is an absolute saint. From the first moment we spoke with her on the phone, she immediately made us feel calm and confident that we could plan the perfect wedding that fit our personalities (and our busy schedules). We gave her just basic ideas of what we thought we'd like, and she really did the rest (vendor sourcing, creative decor ideas, staying true to our initial ideas without going over budget, etc.). Also, after our first discussion together, we came to find out that she also owns her own catering company. We gave her some basic food ideas, and she invited us to a personalized food tasting. We were nothing short of BLOWN AWAY by how delicious her food was (she's been catering for 20 years!).

Weddings can be an extremely stressful event, but knowing that we had Melissa and her team available to us whenever we needed them, alleviated any of our worries! Regardless of the magnitude of any issue that came up (ie, regarding hair decor, flower thoughts, table decor, food ideas, vendor changes, guest list issues, wedding website recommendations, etc.), Melissa was always there to provide us with guidance and support!

We wish we could select more than 5 stars - seriously. Not only do we feel that we have an amazing planner and caterer, but we've also made a great friend in the process. Do yourself a huge favor and contact Twelve 31 events - we promise you won't be disappointed!

We had Twelve31 cater cocktail hour for our wedding and we received nothing but glowing reviews of the delicious food! They delivered the food at the venue on time and were very responsive throughout the planning process. They were great to work with!

The food was amazing, but the overall experience was disappointing. The communication and professionalism during the planning phase, the tasting and wedding days were lacking, which caused significant anxiety given the limited local options.
He frequently responded with one word texts and made me feel as though I was bothering him. The thought of having to communicate with him made me anxious even if all I wanted was to make any minor changes.
The tasting visit felt tense from the start, and a late-night one lined text the day before saying “plates inside” came off as unhelpful. On the wedding day, there was no server assigned to us, the owner walked around in a sweatshirt while the bar staff refused to make our custom drinks correctly, and we were pressured to tip more at the end despite having prepaid and tipped upfront. A disappointing contrast to the quality of the food.
