    Excellent wedding caterer!

    From the beginning of our time working with Watch Hill to the end, Samantha and her team went above and beyond. They helped guide us through the planning process and ensure the day itself ran smoothly. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and communication was always easy. They thought of the little details we didn't, and that made all the difference. I would recommend Watch Hill Catering to anyone planning a wedding, and I hope to host another event one day that would allow me to work with them again.
