About

If the quality of the food and service at your wedding is a priority, let's talk! You want your caterer to understand your tastes, take great care of your guests, and provide a phenomenally memorable meal. We cook all of our dishes onsite and take tremendous pride in giving your guests a reason to tell you it's the best food they've ever had at a wedding.

Hiring a caterer is about more than just the food. We've got the most enthusiastic and thoughtful team of servers and bartenders, who are excited to be there for you on your big day.

We're available for upscale weddings as well as more intimate weddings/gatherings/events throughout greater Boston, up to the North Shore, and all over Cape Cod.

We hope you'll get in touch with us to chat about your plans, and we'd be delighted to create a personalized menu/pricing proposal for you.

Superb service and food!

From the moment we started working with William and his team, we knew we were in great hands. The quality and presentation of the food were exceptional, but what truly set them apart was William’s personalized approach. He took the time to understand our vision, walking us through different styles of food service before we ultimately decided on a buffet but, with a lovely tomato and mozzarella salad at every seat —perfect for our lively and social group!

On the day of our wedding, his team exceeded every expectation. The staff was attentive, professional, and incredibly kind. One of the best touches? Having a dedicated team member who made sure my husband and I actually got to eat and enjoy delicious beverages amidst the whirlwind of the day!

What we loved most was that William only takes on one event at a time, meaning our wedding had his full attention. It was clear that he and his team were genuinely invested in making our day unforgettable. And thanks to them, it truly was.

William was terrific!

We can't say enough good things about William and his team. From the first time we spoke with him through our wedding day, everything was terrific. William is organized, friendly, and great to work with. He was conscious of our budget and preferences in shaping the menu. And on the wedding day, the food was incredible! We got so many compliments on it, especially the appetizers. William's team of servers were also terrific in setting up the venue, and went above and beyond in working with the venue staff to help handle a health incident involving an elderly guest. We can not recommend William and Julie highly enough!!

Look no further

William and his entire staff were the most professional and friendly people that I've ever seen at a wedding. The servers had huge smiles on their faces, and made our guests feel like they were at a very special event. The servers WANTED to be there and you could tell that they really enjoy their job. A lot of our guests commented on the staff and let us know how professional and friendly they were. And William was SO easy to work with. He made our vision come alive, not only by putting out the most delicious food we've probably ever had at a wedding, but by creating an atmosphere that made our guests feel special and excited. We had 2 or 3 video chats with William to go over the food selection, food presentation preferences, and food timing. He not only looked at our example pictures and executed them perfectly, but he gave us a lot of "thinking outside the box" ideas that we hadn't thought of before. He nailed the timing of the passed apps, the before-dinner chowder, and the plated entrees. We gave him our rough itinerary/timing of the first dance, speeches, etc. and he took it and ran with it. He coordinated everything with our venue and the band, and he made our lives a lot less stressful. Now, the FOOD!!!! We, and our guests, were BLOWN AWAY. Everything was absolutely delicious!!!!!!!!!! Everyone that we talked to after the wedding commented on how delicious the passed apps and entrees were. We even heard several people say it was the best food that they've ever had at a wedding. I can't say enough great things about William, his team, and his food. Please don't hesitate to hire him. He is the best in the business. We never for a second regretted hiring him.
