    Wedding 9/3/22 at The Burr Mansion

    There are no words to describe how AMAZING Pete, Emma and all of the Catering by Christine staff was at our wedding this past weekend! Everything was beyond our expectations as our wedding visions came to life and were even better than we could have dreamed! Emma is an angel and was so attentive to my husband and I all night! She kept the night moving seamlessly, I truly do not know how she did it! I could not recommend them enough! 10/10 service, quality and the food was a knockout! All of our guests are still raving about it!

    Exceptional Caterer

    Pete, with the help of his very capable event coordinator, Emma, did an amazing job of catering our Evening of Celebration at the end of July in Penfield Pavilion, Fairfield. In 2020, we arranged with Pete to cater our daughter's wedding at Penfield. Because of covid our daughter was married in our back yard with very few guests and a reception we catered ourselves. Pete allowed us to postpone the 2020 wedding party which became our Evening of Celebration on our daughter's second wedding anniversary. The planning was stress free. The food was excellent. The service was seamless, efficient and professional. We highly recommend Catering by Christine.

    Incredible!!

    1st off- the food was unbelievable..our guests still haven’t stopped raving about it! The servers were very attentive. Pete was incredible to work with- we postponed our wedding and changed our venue, he was always understanding and flexible. He even hooked us up with our rental company (abbey rental). I highly recommend Catering by Christine! They won’t disappoint!!

    Highly Recommend!!!!

    We were married at The Hops Company and used Catering By Christine for the catering. My husband and I were truly blown away with how perfect the day was. Throughout the entire process, Pete, Crissy and Emma made sure to make us feel settled. They really take pride in the food and service they provide. Everything was exactly as we had seen at the tasting and tasted the exact same. They made sure my husband and I really were taken care of, bringing the entire bridal party appetizers and drinks while we were taking pictures. I noticed them going up to my grandparents offering them drinks and to get them dinner from the buffet for them. These are just a few examples of how great the service was. Months later, people are still talking about how great of a wedding it was, but they talk especially high of the food and service provided by Catering By Christine. Highly highly highly recommend their services!!! Thank you again Pete, Crissy and Emma for all you did to make sure the day was our dream come true!!!

    Amazing food, service, and support!

    Catering by Christine made our wedding so special! They were incredibly responsive and helpful leading up to the wedding. They have so much experience that we felt confident the day would go off without an issue. We had several special requests (including a frozen cocktail as a signature drink) that they were able to accommodate easily. Cocktail hour went smoothly and the hors d’oeuvres were plentiful. The main courses come out quickly and our guests were raving about how much they enjoyed their meals. The bar staff were incredibly friendly and there was never a line for drinks. The stuff made sure that the night went smoothly and everything was set up and broken down quickly. Pete was on hand that day to make sure everything went smoothly. We couldn’t be happier with Catering by Christine and would recommend them to anyone looking for a Caterer who goes above and beyond for their couples.

    Amazing Customer Service

    I am writing this review as a thank you to both Crissy and Pete for being SO responsive and so understanding with my budget needs for my wedding. Me and my fiance did not end up using the venue we initially planned on, which required a caterer to be hired, but before we ended up making the decision to find another venue, Pete and Crissy were SO accommodating to our needs and budget that we were about to reconsider but we then went over the guest count and so it exceed the venue space limit. You can tell that they really value their clients and prospective clients and will go above and beyond to make your special day as stress free and enjoyable as possible. Thank you both for spending so much time working with me and I have already recommended you to a few friends who are looking for caterers in the area!!!

    Don't wait to book them!!

    My husband and I were married on September 27 and used Catering By Christine. Our experience with them is something that truly made our fairytale a fairytale. Pete and Crissy were so accommodating allowing us to really personalize our menu and our bar options. They really helped facilitate in our planning and coordination for the day of. My husband and I are foodies and we were so impressed with everything! My guests with similar love for food were also raving about the food. The appetizers were so tasty and plentiful! We did a plated dinner and it was quick and professional. Although my husband and I never had to go to the bar because of our personal attendant, our guests were never waiting on a drink. Because of all the work Catering By Christine and team did, my husband and I were really able to enjoy our wedding day!!

    The Best!!

    My husband Brian and I were married recently at Penfield Beach. Catering By Christine went above and beyond for our guests and us, making our day more than a dream. From the initial point of contact they were professional, responsive and reassuring. Our tasting was the exact of what was served to all 140 of our guests. Guests are still raving about the food, bar and service. Emma our point of contact for the day really took our vision and made it happen. Her constant smile, calm composure and reassurance allowed Brian and I to fully enjoy our day and our guests. Her gentile reminders to eat and drink were so necessary as the nerves and excitement took over our minds. The appetizers were amazing and fun, something my guests were so impressed by. For dinner we chose to do a dual plate of filet and salmon and it was a total success. It was served within 15 minutes allowing more time for dancing. I highly recommend Catering By Christine for your big day; you won’t regret it!!!!

    The food is unbelievable!!

    Pete is wonderful to work with! His staff handled all of the decorating and arranging at Candlelight Farms. The food is unbelievably delicious - we received so many compliments of the presentation of the hors d’oeuvres and how delicious the meal was! Buffet style is the way to go! The mashed potatoes served in martini glasses were a huge hit! I cannot thank Pete and his waitstaff enough, Adriana (mine and my hubby’s personal server) was so attentive and made sure we were fed and hydrated! Thank you, thank you!! Highly recommended - you will not be disappointed!!

    Your catering search ends here!

    Before you decide on your wedding date, check the availability of Catering by Christine, because you definitely want them to cater your wedding. Beyond having absolutely amazing food, they are also crucial to helping you plan and organize your day. We worked specifically with Pete, who helped orchestrate the entire day for us. Before the wedding, Pete and the Catering by Christine team gave us a spectacular tasting to help us plan our menu at a time that fit in our crazy schedule. We were blown away by the amount and quality of appetizers we were able to provide to our guests, and the entire team was willing to work with us to create custom dishes, even if they hadn’t done them before. Our venue (Branford House in CT) required us to bring in rentals, which Pete seamlessly facilitated on our behalf. His experience working at that venue numerous times before truly showed on the day itself. Pete personally helped set up the ceremony and reception space, and he ensured that our reception was exactly what we wanted. And this was all before the amazing food came out. Our assigned personal attendant, Emma, was a positive fixture of the day. She made sure that we, our wedding party, and our family had everything we could want. Our entire wedding party has commented on how enthusiastic and accommodating Emma was to us throughout the event. The Catering by Christine team’s experience and professionalism was clear, as they made the day run as efficiently and smoothly as could be. We never expected that our cater could fulfill so many crucial roles for us that day, and we never had to worry about any details on the day itself. Many of our guests, weeks after the wedding, have continued to reach out to us and said that their meals was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding. We sincerely hope to go to an event catered by them again! Choose Catering by Christine to have phenomenal food, experienced service, and peace of mind in your wedding planning process and especially on your big day!

    Highly highly recommended!!!

    Thank you Catering By Christine for everything!!! You made Matt and I's day beyond anything I could have imagined. Your professionalism, your suggestions, and your organization made the planning process so easy. Beyond the logistics of all you do (which you make look so easy!!!) the food and service was beyond our expectations. All our guests have been raving about the food, presentation, and the friendliness of all the staff. Having an attendant for the day was something I didn't know would be so wonderful. She was there to calm down my nerves before the ceremony, to greet us after with plenty of food and drinks for our entire wedding party was amazing. Thank you for a perfect seamless day for Matt, myself and every single guest!!!

    Try Them For Yourselves!!

    This past weekend Catering By Christine catered our wedding. In the beginning of the planning process we were overwhelmed with the to do list regarding our backyard wedding. That was until Catering By Christine stepped in. They answered questions we didn’t even know we had and put us at ease with everything. Their professionalism regarding the details was out of this world. The food at our tasting was exactly what was served to every single guest at our 180 person wedding. Besides the presentation being picture worthy, the taste and quality was even better. I cannot say enough about how easy they made this day for us and how they greeted every single guest with a smile and care. Guests have made it very clear how much they enjoyed the food, service, and our special day. We cannot speak highly enough of Catering By Christine!!! Thank you Pete and team!

    Catering by Christine was amazing! Pete from Catering by Christine was very helpful and made sure that the food for our wedding was exactly what we wanted. The food was absolutely delicious and we had a personal attendant at our wedding that made sure that the wedding party, my husband and I always had food and drinks whenever we wanted them. They are able to accommodate food allergies and dietary preferences. One of our guests was only able to eat liquids, and Catering by Christine made sure that he always had a wonderful selection of delicious soups to choose from. The food was artfully presented and was exactly what we wanted.

    Pete and the team were unbelievable to work with. The food was absolutely incredible and our guests said it was the best they had tasted at a wedding. They were flexible, met all of our dietary needs for all of our guests, and created amazing dishes not even included on their menu. Everything was cooked to perfection and presented beautifully to top it off.

    Pete was nothing short of amazing. He worked with us right from the beginning of our wedding planning process. He isn't just a caterer--he also serves as a coordinator assisting with timeline of events, organizing etc. He made himself available more than once to sit down with us and answer any questions we had along the way. Catering by Christine's food is absolutely outstanding. The list of hor devours was endless and took us days to even decide on our menu. Guests raved about the food being delicious and the portion sizes being large. Guests said "it was the best salmon they've had in their entire life." What also made us have a great experience was having two staff members (Emma and Tiffany) right by my husband and I's side literally the entire wedding to assist us in getting anything we may need, always making sure we had a drink in our hand, keeping us on schedule etc. They even helped us during pictures with poses, fixing my veil..the list could go on-these ladies were truly amazing! Food is one of the biggest components of having a special wedding to remember and Catering by Christine we can truly say will make sure everything turns out perfect-just the way everyone hopes their special day will be! We highly recommend them to anyone!

    We worked primarily with Pete from Catering by Christine. We got married in New Haven, but live in NY, which made planning a challenge at times, but Pete was so kind and flexible in the times he met with us for our tastings and made us feel at ease throughout the whole process. He treated not only myself and husband with extreme respect and professionalism, but my parents as well, who had a few special requests. Everything at the tasting was so delicious, it was difficult to narrow it down, and the day-of was no different. We were so pleased with not only the presentation of the food at cocktail hour and dinner, but the taste as well. An amazing value for the services he and his staff (who were fun, professional, and efficient) delivered. I remember him telling us at our walk-though that our job was to relax and have the time of our lives and he and his staff would take care of the rest. He truly delivered, and we are so grateful to have found Pete and Catering by Christine.

    Catering by Christine was absolutely amazing. They have done so many weddings at Lighthouse Point Park and did an exceptional job for our wedding day. From the beginning they were great to work with, and were very flexible to work within our budget. We had multiple tastings ahead of our day to ensure the menu was everything we wanted. The day of, we had rain, and they moved the ceremony inside. Their set up was beyond anything I could have imagined, and I'm actually glad for the rain because the pictures from the ceremony were amazing. Their service was also unbelievable. Every person was on top of their game. Specifically we had Tiffany attending to my husband and me, and she was great. She made sure we ate our dinner and even packed desserts to go for us. Cooking for such a large group takes skill, and our dinner was fantastic. All of my guests raved about their meals. Overall, I cannot say enough good things about Catering by Christine, book them and you will not be disappointed.

    I LOVED Catering By Christine! I had my wedding in August 2016 at Lighthouse Point Park. My husband Gary and I were so pleased with the outstanding service! The staff was so friendly and welcoming! Everyone had a smile on all night. Gary and I did not have to lift a finger. Our Attendant, Adriana, was attentive and really went out of her way for us. Every time we turned around a drink was in our hand. When we were taking pictures during cocktail hour, appetizers kept coming the whole hour and half to not only Gary and I, but our entire wedding party! The food was to die for! All of our guests ranted and raved about the delicious mac and cheese, scallops and bacon, thai chicken and pineapple, and so much more! Also, we had a raw bar during cocktail hour that was out of this world. The entire ocean was served at our wedding from clams, oysters, and shrimp. The presentation was phenomenal! They set up boats where they displayed the food, with plenty of lemons and cocktail sauce. For dinner we had the surf and turf with lobster and steak. My guests are still complimenting the food and service. For dessert we had a Venetian table where there were an assortment of cookies and pastries. Not only that, but we had an ice cream bar with a variety of Gary and I's favorite candies. Everything went off without a hitch, it was a dream come true!

    My husband and I got married in July and chose to use Catering By Christine. To this day I can't believe how amazing everything was. Everything I had imagined came together with the friendly staffs help. The attention to detail on the staffs part was incredible. The service was perfect, making sure I was quenched and full at all times of the day/night. All my guests are still raving about how the food was out of this world. The bar lines moved quickly and everyone was surrounded by the wait staffs smiling faces. We had a person on us all night to make sure everything was going exactly how we wanted it. Pete promised everything would be taken care of and he couldn't have been more right. We will definitely be using Catering By Christine and staff for our future events. They are a 105/100!!!! Thank you Pete and staff for an amazing day!!

    It was an absolute pleasure to work with Pete and Catering by Christine for our August wedding. From the beginning, Pete promised me a beautiful wedding and told me not to worry about anything. He and his staff more than delivered and I could not have been happier with the results. Their professional, attention to detail and commitment to service resulted in a beautiful, well executed, smooth day.

    While the entire menu was delicious and so elegantly presented, we highly recommend the brisket, bacon wrapped shrimp, macaroni and cheese and salmon. Those dishes received a lot of praise the night of and we continued to get a ton of compliments days after.

    We would also like to say what a pleasure it was to have Adriana around, our personal attendant for the day, to make sure we were well fed and well hydrated. She was super sweet and very attentive. What a great service!

    Thank you Pete and your entire staff for everything that you did to make our special day memorable for us and all of our guests!!! We will highly recommend you to anyone who asks!!!
