Lauren Sent on 01/24/202310/10, book French Picnic NOW!
If we could rate more than 5 stars, we would! Edward and French Picnic blew us away along every step of the process. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we were unable to have a tasting with French Picnic ahead of our wedding. We put our trust in the menu, Edward & French Picnic as well as our wedding coordinator who suggested him. Let me tell you: Edward's food was the best wedding food we've ever had (and that's not just because it was our wedding!). We continue to get raving reviews from our family and friends even months later. Every couple getting married in the Portland, ME region should work with French Picnic! -

Samantha Sent on 09/27/2022Wow, the Food was Amazing!
We are so happy that we chose French Picnic to cater our wedding! The family-style dishes were exactly what we imagined: Friends and family passing plates and chatting as they enjoyed the meal.
The Thai Coconut Tofu Curry was especially good and we had guests approach us after dinner to say that this was their first time trying tofu, that the dish was absolutely amazing, and that they needed the recipe.
Thanks for making our wedding so special! -

Leah Sent on 07/31/2022The best culinary experience for your Wedding Day!
There are not enough words to describe how amazing Edward and The French Picnic team are at their culinary talents!!! We knew Edward because he actually first catered my brother’s wedding back in 2018. It was then that we knew when it was finally our big day, we would hope and pray that he would say yes to catering our wedding in Massachusetts too! By that fact alone, you can just imagine how incredible the food tasted to know that we didn’t even consider another vendor to feed our guests! However, while the food is undoubtedly delicious, fresh, and filling – it was Edward himself that really sold us from the very beginning. My Dad is highly allergic to fish and chicken, which you can imagine is difficult to manage alone never mind when catering to a wedding. His allergies require food to be prepared separately without chicken, fish, or their byproducts cross contaminating other foods. Edward took on the challenge without hesitation and acted with confidence knowing that he could easily work with our needs and requests safely. He not only directly answered our questions at any moment but cooked an entire steak separately for my Dad on a separate grill where the other guests’ meals were not prepared. Besides Edward’s amazing personality and talent, his staff was equally pleasant, friendly, and helped make our day seamless. The food was presented beautifully as promised and there was plenty to go around to our guests. My husband and I sat at a separate sweetheart table where we received the royal treatment with plenty of delicious food and accompaniments to enjoy and fuel up for the rest of the evening. Thank you, Edward, for being such a pleasure and we truly could not recommend your team enough!!! -

French Picnic is an absolute gem! First – the food. It is so incredibly delicious and made with so much care and attention. Our guests still comment on how wonderful every single item on the menu was. Edward and his team are so knowledgeable on what food brings to a special occasion. They make sure that what they are providing reflects who you are as a couple, and they create something really unique. They make you feel like you aren’t just feeding your guests, but you are throwing the biggest party of your life and the food and service will reflect how extraordinary that is. -

Courtney Sent on 10/22/2021Hire Edward and his team for an amazing catering experience!
I truly can’t capture in words the exceptional service Edward and his team provided to my husband and I on our wedding day and throughout the wedding planning experience. Edward was accommodating, flexible, and kind throughout our wedding planning process. He delivered fresh, amazing food and many of our guests told us that it was the best wedding food they had ever had. Edward and his team always remembered my dietary redirections and ensured I had delicious food to eat. Edward’s timing with courses and service was impeccable. From the table settings to serving the cake, we did not have to worry about anything food-related on the day of our wedding. If you don’t book French Picnic for your wedding catering, you are missing out! -

Allison Sent on 07/14/2021Incredible Food and Experience
Edward and his team were incredible to work with throughout the entire planning process! The food at our wedding was our top priority and we could not have been happier with French Picnic and all of their thoughtful touches on the day of. We kept hearing that it was the best wedding food anyone had ever had. It wasn't just great food "for a wedding" but genuinely great food. Cocktail hour was a hit with excellent oysters and amazing passed apps. The family-style dinner made for such a fun meal for everyone and really encouraged mingling among our guests. It felt like a very elevated summer dinner party! We couldn't recommend French Picnic enough. -

Alissa Sent on 10/17/2020Some of the best food I've ever had!
French Picnic stepped up and helped us after our original caterer cancelled two weeks prior to our wedding. Having French Picnic serve our guests was probably one of the best decisions we made throughout the process as the food was absolutely incredible. I wish I could order the mini crab cakes and have them delivered overnight (yes they are that good!). Everything from the passed appetizers to the final course was amazing and professionally delivered. We didn't talk to anyone that wasn't impressed by the caterer, even our Venue owners were impressed! French Picnic is on their way to becoming the best caterer in Maine. -

Above and beyond, would choose French Picnic again and again
French Picnic was better than we even could have imagined for our wedding! From day 1 with the tasting Edward was so easy and fun to work with. Every single thing, from the passed apps through 2 full dinner courses, was absolutely delicious and we loved that it was also seasonal and fresh for our July wedding. We had read a number of reviews from others saying that their guests still bring up how wonderful the food was, and now we are living that too. Months later, our guests are still talking about the amazing food at our wedding.
In addition to Edward being a delight to work with and the food being outstanding, the pricing was also extremely reasonable, a great deal for a high quality of service. Given the opportunity to plan another big event, I would honestly choose French Picnic every single time! -

We're still getting compliments on the food!
Wedding planning can be really overwhelming! One of the best decisions me and my husband made was hiring Edward from French Picnic Catering for our September wedding with 150 guests. The food is absolutely the best. We’re still getting compliments on the different dishes weeks after the wedding. The staff is attentive, genuine and will go over and above to make your day great. Lastly, Edward is truly wonderful. From the start, his attitude was positive, relaxed and you can tell how much he really does care about having only the best for your day. He was also very accommodating and provided a vegan option for me and a few of my guests. Thanks to Edward and his staff, everyone had an amazing dining experience at our wedding! -
