Kayleigh T. Sent on 12/03/2022Food, drinks, rentals...they can do it ALL!
Calla made our wedding so special! Good food is very special to both of our families, so it was important to us that we found a vendor whose food was fun and joyful. After our tasting we knew we'd found the right vendor (the braised chicken is a MUST). In addition to providing an amazing menu for the buffet and passed appetizers, they worked with us to add some special touches that made the wedding feel more unique to us (hot apple cider for our outdoor ceremony in November, apple cider donuts for dessert, a boozy coffee bar after dessert, etc.) All of our guests raved about the food, including those with dietary restrictions, who Calla catered to and provided options that were just as good as the buffet. An added hurdle is that our wedding was at a venue without a kitchen, so Calla brought in their own cooking equipment. They also helped us rent tables, chairs, linens, cutlery, etc. It was such a relief to work with one vendor for so many different checklist items.
We worked with co-owner Kim Livesey as our Day-Of Coordinator, and it was a phenomenal decision. We spend hours on phone calls picking out linens, rearranging table set-ups, and making a plan for the decor. With her team, she set and up and tore down all of our decor, so all we had to do was transport it to and from the venue. We are so grateful for their team! -

Johnathan A. Sent on 11/06/2022Wonderfully responsive, amazing food and an amazing wedding day
We were introduced to Calla through our wedding venue, Larz Anderson Museum, and we are so glad we did. We worked with Kim, Linda and Mikayla and they were all super responsive to any and all questions we had. They did a wonderful job at organizing all aspects of the catering and helping navigate timing of the day and helping to navigate a rain plan in the event the weather wasn’t great. The contract was super straight forward and transparent and any changes that came up during the planning process were quickly updated along the way. During the day of, we were so happy with how the event played out. The weather was perfect, the food and drinks were amazing and Mikayla’s day of support during the event was always there and ready to help. Thank you so much for making this a surreal and wonderful memory to look back on for the rest of our lives. -

I would recommend Calla to anyone. They were prompt and professional throughout the entire process, guiding us through our many questions! Their food was INCREDIBLE; we loved the cocktail hour flatbreads and the butternut squash ravioli the best! Linda and her team made the night stress-free as they seamless kept everything flowing, even with a couple of last minute changes. Many of our guests after complemented Calla on how organized and professional the night was run. I would highly recommend them for any event! -

I decided to have a small mini-money May 2nd 2021 due to covid and postponing our wedding 3 times! I hired calla catering last minute for 20 guests and it completely blew us out of the water! From the first tasting in their private studio to my wedding day, the amount of flexibility, attention to detail and the amazing flavor of the food, we are all impressed! The food was absolutely amazing. We had passed appetizers, buffet style dinner and ice cream bar! All my guests were happy and raved about the food. We had a few children who was served chicken tenders and fries and a vegetarian who got her own special dish. The calla team was so attentive to all my guest and made sure everyone had PLENTY to eat! I still think about the steak and onions and how amazing they were lol. They even folded my napkins and placed the menu cards I printed on each table for us. They packaged all the left overs for us which was a huge bonus! If I ever needed catering again, I definitely would choose calla catering. -

Meghan Sent on 07/26/2022Top notch!
If you’re considering booking with Calla, do it. We can’t say enough good things! The food was amazing, the chef does all his own grocery shopping and cooks it all in house and on location. Everything was fresh and delicious, our guest were so happy with it. And as if that isn’t reason alone, the whole Calla team is awesome. We did a day of coordination package with them and it was life changing. They are absolutely experts in this space and everything was handled with such grace. It honestly felt like it came together by magic because everyone is just so fantastic. Seriously, book them!! -

Calla Catering was a dream to work with. They were incredibly responsive (I was blown away by how quickly they'd get back to me with thoughtful answers). I'm vegetarian and they worked with me to provide exactly the food I wanted. It was DELICIOUS! Lots of guests complimented the food. Additionally, Linda was so incredibly organized that it felt like we had a wedding planner. Everything went perfectly at the wedding, in large part thanks to Calla! -

Laurel T. Sent on 06/22/2022Amazing food, and amazing planning!
We are so glad that we chose Calla for our wedding. Linda, Kim, and the entire team were so helpful, responsive, and excited to work with us! Calla was able to help us execute our vision flawlessly (we are two designers- the vision was specific!), and was so helpful with all the logistics, between furniture rentals, vendor coordination, and day of coordination. Not to mention, Francesco’s food is absolutely delicious! Many of our guests told us that their dinners and apps were the best that they had ever had at a wedding. We also appreciated the little touches so much- Calla sent us home with extra desserts at the end of the night, and brought us our own little plate of apps and cocktails during our photos, so we could have a chance to eat them. We truly cannot recommend them enough! -

Kim and the entire Calla team were instrumental in making our wedding day incredible! They were organized, professional, helpful, and basically indispensable. The food was delicious, and with Kim at the helm coordinating this anxious bride could actually relax and enjoy the day. Everything went smoothly, everything was on time, and as far as I'm concerned, it was perfect. Their communication leading up to the wedding made me confident the big day would go as planned. I can't recommend Calla highly enough! -

My (now husband) and I decided to have an outdoor wedding with only 5 weeks to plan. With our parents being elderly we had to keep everything as (covid safe) as possible. Kim Livesey helped me plan the perfect 5 course box lunch, with a personalized cooler for each guest to take home. The food was exceptional! The team at Calla made my wedding day planning so much easier! They answered emails, phone calls promptly, and wrote out a timeline for me to keep things rolling smoothly! Every guest LOVED the food, and the way it was presented! I highly recommend Calla Catering! -

From start to finish Calla Catering was fantastic to work with. The tasting was delicious and personalized; it also allowed for us to meet the team and get an idea of what we wanted. Kim and Linda were so flexible during the entire planning process and made our day run smoothly. Our guests are still talking about how delicious all of the food was, the passed hors d’oeuvres were a big hit! We would recommend them (and their grilled cheese) to anyone! -

Jessica Sent on 11/27/2021Calla Catering is the best!
My now husband and I had our wedding postponed due to COVID, and received notice from our original caterer they were going out of business 8 months prior to our new rescheduled wedding date. Talk about a spike in stress levels! We reached out to Calla Catering in hopes they would be available for our rescheduled wedding date and it was smooth sailing ever since. Linda has been the best and most wonderful person to work with, ever so patient in answering our numerous questions and guiding us step by step along the way. Calla Catering brands themselves as genuine and transparent, and it really shows! And we cannot forget to mention their amazing food, everybody was absolutely raving about their delicious slow-braised chicken! We are so happy we chose Calla Catering and know others will too!
