    The most memorable meal

    We couldn't have asked for a better experience working with Chef John and Diana for our wedding. From start to finish, they were incredibly easy to work with and really took the time to listen to our story, creating a tailored menu that beautifully reflected our different backgrounds. Their creativity shone through in every dish, and their entire team went above and beyond to make our day special. We heard endless comments about how great the meal was from all our guests.

    We're so grateful for all they did and how it all turned out.

    Amazing food - big and small parties

    Chef John Chef Eric and their teams have cooked twice for us. Once an intimate sit down dinner for a bday party for 15 people and more recently for 75 people for a garden party. Their flavors, presentation are incredible and the food just shows up seamlessly even when they are cooking for so many people. They spend a lot of time understanding what you want and tailor the menu exactly how you want it. Also, if you are vegetarian like us they have so many amazing options to prepare. I’ve really enjoyed working with them!

    Amazing Tasting

    Chef John and Five Course Provisions are hard to beat. We haven’t had our wedding just yet but everything leading up to the tasting has been nothing but accommodating and great. Communication and professionalism was ever present in every conversation, phone or email, and even through the tasting. We arrived at our tasting and were introduced to our server and chef John. We went with an Asian fusion menu and were able to taste everything on the curated menu. Although we didn’t make any changes to the menu originally provided to us, we didn’t see the need to after tasting the foods. None of the food was overly seasoned to try and enhance the taste and everything tasted great. So many subtle flavors in each dish without a single flavor overpowering the plate. Our favorite was the short rib but we’re pleasantly surprised by the daikon and radish salad as well as some of the appetizers. We go to sit with the chef after the tasting and throughly go over the menu and the details of the wedding. We have no doubt that this was the caterer to choose for our wedding and we’re so excited to see the team again on our wedding day!

    White glove service from start to finish!

    We couldn’t have asked for a better catering experience throughout our wedding journey. From the very first consultation, to our tasting where my husband and our father's were left with a lasting impression (we were talking about it for weeks!), to the last bite of our delicious braised short rib, Five Course Provisions exceeded every expectation. 

    John made it easy to bring to life the vision that I had for our wedding day. He made sure to incorporate elements that were a priority into our day and executed an astounding menu that uniquely blended both the Iranian and European cultures that were important to us. Our guests couldn't stop talking about how delicious our appetizers were during cocktail hour and how amazing the food was for dinner. John even came up with a Persian inspired mocktail for my husband's side of the family that consisted of Rose, Lemon & Pomegranate and it was a complete hit! Our top priority was making sure we booked a caterer that did not sacrifice quality over quantity. Food is a big part of our cultures and if I had to do our wedding reception over again, I would choose Five Course in a heartbeat. 

    Beyond the five star quality of food, the service was excellent. The team was professional, friendly, and so attentive throughout the entire event. They worked seamlessly with our other vendors to ensure everything went off without a hitch. Throughout my experience, John would find ways to surprise and delight - I am so incredibly grateful. 

    Five Course Provisions played a huge role in making our wedding day unforgettable. If you’re looking for a caterer who combines exceptional food with top-notch service, look no further! Thank you so much for helping create the wedding of our dreams!

    The best food ever!

    Where do I even begin? Chef John and his team at Five Course Provisions made our wedding dining experience truly unforgettable! From start to finish, the food was absolutely incredible, and we can't thank him enough for the unforgettable flavors and presentation.
    One of the highlights was the pressed juices Chef John made specially for us. We had a lot of kids and guests who don't drink alcohol, and the juices were a huge hit! They were refreshing, delicious, and something we hadn’t seen at any other wedding. The hor d’oeuvres were perfection, with my personal favorite being the tuna tartare bite.
    The meal was perfectly cooked. We started with an amazing starter salad that was light and fresh, followed by a pasta course that I’m still thinking about to this day. The flavors were so rich and comforting, and it was easily one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever had. The entrees were just as delicious—so thoughtfully prepared, and each bite was full of flavor. I truly wish I could eat the whole meal again!
    And if that wasn’t enough, Chef John went above and beyond with mini desserts. The black sesame cheesecake cup was a standout—so creamy, with the perfect balance of flavors. Later in the night, we had sliders, which were the perfect late-night snack and had everyone raving.
    Chef John and Five Course Provisions elevated our wedding experience in such a meaningful way. The food was a key part of making our celebration so special, and we couldn’t have asked for a better caterer. If you want top-notch food and service for your big day, look no further—Chef John and his team are absolutely outstanding!

    Thank you, FCP!!

    I can’t say enough about Chef John and the Five Course Provisions catering team! My guests LOVED our wedding food so much that they called it ‘gourmet’ and ‘the best wedding food they’ve ever had.’ My husband and I couldn’t agree more! Not only was the food delicious, but Chef John was very detailed oriented, responsive, reliable and professional! Honestly our wedding day wouldn’t have ran as smoothly as it did without FCP! Prior to the big day, FCP was able to overcome any challenge we faced( strict venue insurance requirements, an unreliable DOC, etc). I can’t thank them enough! I would give them 10 out of 5 stars if I could! Choose them, you won’t regret it!

    Would recommend to everyone!

    Five Course Provision catered an event I had gone to and I was blown away at their food and its presentation.. I knew I had to have them at my wedding. When I first contacted them, both chefs- Eric and John were very friendly, informative, and noticeably very knowledgeable in their profession. Eric was our main point of contact but when he was unavailable, John knew exactly where Eric left off. Their attention to detail and communication between the two of them is strong and it shows! Wedding day was as smooth as could be. Everything from start to finish went exactly as planned, if not better. I had a vision and they made it a reality. The food was great and the desserts were to die for. Everything was completely customizable to our liking which made it feel more “us” making it that much more special. The professionalism provided by the chefs and their crew was unforgettable. I would give them 100 stars if I could! Thank you all for everything, I really couldn’t have asked for anything better!

    Premium and Professional

    This team blew my mind. I was utterly in awe of how good the food was and how kind the owners are. Eric specifically spoke with me and treated me like family. He made sure we were all satisfied and enjoying our meals.

    Absolutely perfect.

    My husband and I tied the knot March of this year, and when I say Five Course Provisions exceeded all expectations, I mean it! To put it mildly… I am an extremely Type A personality and picky especially when it comes to food, but Chefs Eric and John made the entire process so smooth and easy. They replied right away to any questions/concerns I had and created the most exquisite menu, every dish and every bite was an absolute DREAM. Wedding planning is stressful enough (especially if you are as picky as I am), and these two helped take some of the load off with their professionalism and expertise. They say food is the way to the heart, and if you book with Five Course Provisions they will prove this to be absolutely true. THANK YOU ERIC AND JOHN!

    Wedding Caterer

    If I could give this company 10 out of 5 stars I would! Chef John and his team were absolutely incredible! Honestly, when I found Five Course Provisions, I was a little hesitant as they really didn’t have many reviews. I called around and many of the more reviewed caterers took a long time to get back to me or asked me to pick from their very standard type of wedding menus. When I called Chef John, the experience was completely different. From day one I could tell that he wanted to work with my fiancé and me to make our wedding day the best it could be. He also said that he could basically make whatever we wanted for the menu and keep it within our budget. So, we decided to give Five Course Provisions a go and honestly it was the best decision we made! Chef John really did work with us for the 6 months that we planned our event to make sure the food was perfect. 3 months prior, we had our tasting and were absolutely blown away by the food. It didn’t taste like the generic wedding food that we were accustomed to, it truly was a gourmet experience. When we got to our wedding day, the reception was absolutely perfect. Chef John and his team took care of everything from setup to clean up. The food was just as amazing as during our tasting. We were blown away by how many of our guests commented on how it was literally the best wedding food they had ever had. You could tell the passion that Chef John and his team had for ensuring an amazing culinary experience. If you are considering Five Course Provisions, don’t hesitate. Book them without delay. You’ll be so glad you did.

    Great job, Excellent service

    Chef did a spectacular job catering my wedding! They had done an amazing job catering my son’s wedding a few years ago. Everyone raved about the food so much that when it was my turn I knew there was no one else I’d trust. I was impressed with their ability to tailor the menu and style of service exactly to mine and my husband’s tastes. They worked with us to create a menu which was unique-nothing cookie cutter here! The wait staff was outstanding, friendly, pleasant and efficient. Our wedding was under a tent, we had beautiful weather, until it decided to pour. We were all seated for dinner, when the rain started, the staff seamlessly switched to using umbrellas and walking from the house to the tent keeping the food dry and on time. They also helped with my decor. She was able to take my vision and execute it better than I could have imagined. I highly recommend Hiring these Professionals!
