Just the best!
From my first phonecall with Calla, I knew they were the right choice. Kim & Kat are a dream team. They are patient, kind & so, so helpful. I never had any questions or concerns before our wedding & the day of was perfect! Our wedding guest are still talking about the amazing food and the polite & professional staff. Our venue was extremely small with no kitchen and it was no issue for the Calla team. We could not have chosen a better caterer to work with! -

Short ribs were astounding
The best short ribs I've ever tasted was at an upscale restaurant called Victor's in the Florence hotel in South Carolina, these were done by a caterer for a hundred, and some odd people, and they were just about as good, it was absolutely amazing my compliments to the chef and to all the employees as everyone thought. This was as top shelf as you can get good job, folks.. P s, This was at the cells meyer wedding, norwell to be precise. Hats off to you all. -

Calla Catering is Amazing!!!
Kim and the team from Calla Catering did an incredible job with my wedding on April 30th! The guests haven't stopped raving about the food and the service. Everything was perfect, the ceremony had to be brought inside because of the weather and we didn't even notice when they broke everything down and moved onto the reception part of the day. I cant's thank them enough for making every aspect of my wedding day exactly what we wanted! Thank you Calla Catering!!! -

Food, 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! -

Wonderfully 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. -

Organized and Professional! The BEST food!
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! -

Absolutely Amazing!
Calla was absolutely amazing! From the start it was clear they were professional, organized, and cared about making sure they deliver the best result, and they did. The whole process with the Calla team was easy, never an issue, and best of all the food was absolutely amazing! We are still having people tell us how much they loved the food at our wedding. Would hire again without hesitation. -

The BEST caterers and day-of coordinator
I cannot recommend Calla enough to any couple!! Linda, Kim, and the entire staff were incredible, professional, accommodating, and fun! I especially recommend adding on the day-of coordination services; our wedding had a lot of moving parts and Kim made everything run so smoothly. Our appetizers that we got through them were also so delicious! I can't imagine our wedding without Calla...THANK YOU! -

The best catering experience!
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.-

Top 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!! -

Highest recommendation!
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! -

Amazing 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! -

Hire Calla for great food and service
We loved our experience with Calla from our tasting through our big day. Everyone was talking about how good the apps were! They were very responsive throughout the process and open to changes. They have a very organized system and are clear professionals in the field. The staff on our wedding day were very nice and attentive. They pivoted quickly when we decided to do a receiving line last minute while walking back to the house - bringing apps and drinks to our guests as they waited in line. We would recommend you hire Calla, you won't regret it!! -

Could not recommend enough!
Working with Calla Catering for our wedding was a wonderful experience. We primarily worked with Linda and Kim, who were an absolute joy and made everything run smoothly. I was an out-of-town bride, and they were so flexible with my schedule and needs. Our guests raved about the food at our wedding, and I am eternally grateful to them for making our day go off without a hitch. -

The key to a stress-free, beautiful, and delicious wedding!
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! -

Can't say enough good things
Linda, Kim, and the rest of the Calla team were reliably professional, friendly, flexible, and responsive. Francesco is a truly exquisite cook, and many of our guests commented that this was the best wedding food they'd ever hard. We also appreciated that the Calla team was comfortable dealing with complex allergies and eating restrictions. They truly went above and beyond to ensure that all of us had a good experience. I cannot recommend them strongly enough! -

Calla Catering made my outdoor wedding classy!
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! -

phenomenal food and service
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! -

A Wedding Day Must Have!
We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding - it was seriously a dream come true & that is all thanks to Calla Catering!
My husband & I both loved to eat delicious, well made food, & we wanted that to be a huge factor in our wedding day. It was no question that we had to have Calla Catering for this reason! We love that they focus on fresh & seasonal, & our menu absolutely reflected that! Guests could not stop raving about the entire menu the whole night!
Before our Ceremony, Calla Catering made an incredible hot mulled apple cider (our guests loved it since it was a bit chilly, & we had an outdoor ceremony!). Cocktail Hour, we had a plentiful charcuterie display & hand passed appetizers: Buffalo Chicken Wontons (a MUST HAVE!), Seared Beef Tenderloin Crostini, Three Cheese & Walnut Stuffed Mushrooms (incredible!!!), Arancini, & Sweet & Sour Fried Cauliflower (crowd favorite!). When guests came in for dinner, we started with bread & the Roasted Butternut Squash Salad. It was almost too pretty to eat & it tasted amazing, too! We offered our guests Slow Braised Short Ribs (it was SO delicious & definitely a comfort food!), Roasted Salmon with a Maple Apple Cider Glaze (yum!), & Vegan Stuffed Peppers, all served with mashed potatoes & a root vegetable medley. I swear, every single plate was cleared! We had so many guests complimenting the food & they all mentioned how impressed they were that the food came out HOT on the plate!
With everything that was going on that day - pictures, visiting with family and friends, soaking in the day - I loved that the team made sure we ate. We had a platter of our appetizers brought to us during formal photos & during dinner, the team constantly checked in on us to make sure we were enjoying ourselves & even boxed up the rest of my meal for me to enjoy when I got back to my hotel! They also made sure to box up some of our desserts for us, too!
Outside of the food, Calla Catering played a huge part in our day! They helped us coordinate our rental items, came to a site visit at our venue since they had never been there before (our venue had a lot of rules & documents they required from the caterer in order to work there - NO PROBLEM, Calla helped guide us & made sure everything was submitted!). They arrived the day of, set up everything exactly how I had envisioned it, & they really made sure that I didn’t have to worry about a thing! Even my vendors raved about the dinner they enjoyed from Calla Catering! They all mentioned how much they loved working with the team!
During the night, I kept looking around seeing how full guests waters were, how clean the tables looked, how the staff just never stopped moving! I really felt like my goal was accomplished: to make our friends and family feel TREATED!
At the end of the night, they stayed at the venue after my husband & I left and cleaned up everything! After being up since 7am to get hair & make up done, it was such a relief to know that they were tying up all of the loose ends & making sure that everything at the venue was squared away! That was such a huge help & relief off of my shoulders!
Calla Catering made a HUGE impact on our wedding! We are so, so glad we had them be a part of our day! I know we will never forget how special it was because of their hard work & delicious food. If you want to have your wedding be a stand-out event, there is no contest - Calla Catering has to be there! -

Detail oriented, well oiled machine!
Calla Catering is simply the best. My husband and I hired them for our wedding. They have been so wonderful, professional and detail oriented since day one.
I have a lot of food allergies and they were able to accommodate for all of them. This meant changing certain ingredients to ensure each dish was delicious and something everyone could eat. My guests RAVED about the food and are still talking about it months later.
We paid extra to have the day of coordinator and it was worth every penny! Linda was the epitome of keeping a cool head and knew just what to do. I felt completely comfortable in her hands.
We recommend Calla Catering to anyone we know. They have gone above and beyond to make our day so special! -

Calla 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! -
