    Amazing Experience

    We are so glad we were able to work with Glorious Affairs, Barbara, Wendy and their team. They were truly dedicated throughout the entire planning process - incredibly responsive, flexible and helpful. Wendy walked us through the process every step of the way. During our wedding their staff was incredibly professional, kind and joyful! We had someone checking in with us all night to ensure my husband and I had enough food and beverages.
    The quality of the food matches the quality of the service. They provide a unique array of options, focused on local and seasonal flavors. We had a hard time choosing options since everything sounded and tasted so fresh. Wendy and Barbara were incredibly helpful through this process!
    There are many large scale operations in the area but the experience you get when working with Glorious Affairs is unmatched. They care deeply about each event!

    Best caterer out there!!!!

    Oh my god, Barbara, Wendy, and her team were absolutely phenomenal!! Another bride hired them for her wedding 8 years ago, and she said how amazing they were, but ultimately, I thought how great can a caterer be, but wow was I wrong! When my husband and I first met with Barbara, we could tell she was going to go above and beyond for our wedding, planning out every little thing with us and providing us with several different options! She told us between her and our venue manager, they would act as our day of coordinators to make sure everything and everyone is organized. We immediately got a good vibe from her and booked right away! Thank god we did, because the pandemic happened and we knew we secured the best caterer around! Our experience with Barbara and her team was nothing short of incredible!! They were constantly communicating with us, even when I changed my mind 100 times, and always checking in with us. Our tasting was amazing and I didn't think the food could be any better, but the day of the wedding, it was truly even better!!! Our appetizers were actually incredible!!! We had so many people back out last minute, that they even gave us both the swordfish and filet mignon for our meal! The swordfish, which can be a tough fish to cook, was the most tender and moist fish I have ever eaten! My husband was so incredibly impressed as swordfish is his favorite fish ever! The filet mignon was a perfect medium rare and was able to be cut with a butter knife! Most people don't eat the sides at a wedding, but people literally cleaned their plates! Even the butternut squash ravioli was incredibly enjoyable!! We even had guests raving about the salads, as they were a large portion and super unique! My husband doesn't even like salads and was actually looking forward to eating the salad again after having it at our tasting! They accommodated us by making a delicious dessert called "The Grey Stuff" which people loved and even got one of my bridesmaids a dairy free dessert! The bartenders came up with my own drink for me through the wedding, Barbara made up a perfect Beauty and the Beast greeting drink to enter cocktail hour with for our guests, and we even received glasses of champagne for our toasts! Now the food and drinks were something to rave about, the staff was truly the best part of Glorious Affairs! Barbara, the owner, was attentive to us and all the little details both throughout the process and on the wedding day! She made sure everything was set up exactly the way I wanted it and kept us on schedule the entire day, especially making sure we ate! Her staff was absolutely perfect at the wedding! We had a server assigned to us all night, bringing us appetizers and drinks throughout the entire cocktail hour while we were taking pictures, and up to the room when I had to bustle my dress, our drinks were never empty at dinner or throughout the reception, and they made sure we were taken care of! Our guests raved about not only the food, but how attentive and helpful the staff was! Her staff even helped with my dress and making sure I never needed anything at any point throughout the night! I honestly could go on and on about Glorious Affairs, but if you want an AMAZING overall caterer, book them!! It will be the best decision you make!!

    Best of the best!

    Glorious Affairs is the best of the best and we couldn't have asked for a better experience working with Wendy. I remember Wendy telling me that after wedding planning you end up feeling like the people you work with become your family and you're sad to say goodbye to them and it is so true. I am so incredibly thankful for Wendy, Barbara, and the entire Glorious Affairs staff for making our (covid) wedding so incredibly special.

    The food options are outstanding - you cannot go wrong with anything you choose and if you have questions Wendy is the best in the business and really knows how to steer you in the right direction. My husband and I had one of the first covid weddings and I got to see first hand how flexible, passionate, dedicated and creative Wendy really is at making sure not only our experience was the best but our guests' experience as well. We had to make lots of changes to how food and beverages could be served based on rules and regulations from the state throughout the months leading up to the wedding (September 2020) and Wendy was there every step of the way making things work with us.

    When the wedding was over, we had countless guests tell us this was the best food and service they had ever had at a wedding - delicious food and no one was ever left waiting for their next drink or bite to eat. I hands down owe it all to Wendy and her ability to be creative, flexible, and determined to make our wedding an unforgettable experience.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    Incredible food, and wonderful service!

    Barbara and her team were incredible to work with, and the food at our wedding was amazing! They did an awesome job helping us to customize our wedding. They didn't bat an eyelash when we asked to incorporate a Brazilian flare - our signature cocktail was the caipirinha (Brazil's national cocktail), and they even made brigadeiros! Our guests couldn't stop raving about how great the food was - even guests with dietary restrictions were handled with ease, and told us how amazing everything was. We're so happy we decided to go with Barbara and the team at Glorious Affairs!

    Look no further!

    One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was hiring Glorious Affairs for our Linden Place wedding. Our guest left talking about not only the quality of the food, but how beautiful the presentation was. Wendy and her entire team were nothing short of amazing throughout the entire planning process. My Husband and I never went without a drink in our hand or food being offered from cocktail hour through the end of the night. Whoever says the bride and groom don’t eat during their wedding, obviously did not hire Glorious Affairs! We are so thankful for Wendy and team making our night one we will never ever forget!

    Glorious Affairs!

    I can't say enough good things about Glorious Affairs. It was amazing to work with Wendy Cobb. She was so helpful since we were planning the wedding from Arizona. She assisted with the menu choices, she was very responsive and helpful in every way throughout the process.
    The food that was prepared for over 150 people at the Glen Manor was outstanding. We’ve gotten so many comments on the food that has been served. People have been raving about all courses but especially the appetizers and the salad. The Glorious Affairs team did a wonderful job and our families are forever grateful for everything they did. We made a great decision choosing Glorious Affairs for our special day! If I would do it all over again I wouldn't have even met with any other caterer, these guys are the BEST!

    Amazing Experience with Glorious Affairs!

    We were SO HAPPY with our choice to go with Glorious Affairs for our September wedding! Wendy was a pleasure to work with and extremely helpful throughout the whole process. We were very particular about what we wanted and she was so patient and accommodating. The day of exceeded our expectations. The family style meal we selected was delicious and our guests raved. The staff and service were also amazing. They made sure every had what they needed and even found me with a tray of appetizers so I could enjoy cocktail hour! Wendy worked so well with the onsite coordinator and other vendors to ensure everything went smoothly. We did not have to worry about a thing. I highly recommended Glorious Affairs for your upcoming wedding. Thank you to Wendy and her team!

    More than a caterer

    Barbara and Glorious Affairs made our first daughter's wedding a huge success. We went straight to GA when our second daughter became engaged. They provide total support to your wedding planning. Barbara worked closely with my daughter and future son-in-law and us to understand what they wanted in a wedding and always had an excellent idea to solve any issue. She is readily available and responds to any question or email quickly. Wedding day is when GA really shines. Barbara becomes the on-site coordinator, taking care of all vendors and every small detail. The entire staff is professional, courteous and friendly and dedicated to making the day unforgettable. It goes without saying the food and beverage service is outstanding. I can't wait until our third daughter gets married so we can have another fantastic event with Glorious Affairs.R

    A magical event!

    Everything about working with Barbara and Glorious Affairs was fabulous. She was responsive to all our needs and her suggestions were always on the mark. The company is truly professional and I don't think we would have had such a magical event without them!

    This is a long overdue review for the wonderful Glorious Affairs. In addition to food and service being top notch, Wendy really took everything into consideration. She met with us at the venue, thought about how to best use the space, how food should be served and presented, and how the night should proceed. We were also able to go to the rental company to choose table cloth and dining ware, etc. A few days before the wedding, we dropped off all the decor and alcohol at their office, and they put everything together beautifully. The weather was unstable, so we set up for Plan B the day before, but the day of they managed to change it back to Plan A so we could have the ceremony in the garden as planned. The cocktail hour and dinner both went flawlessly. They even assigned a dedicated server to take care of the new couple! Food was good and they were accommodating to our nut-free request. They were awesome all the way--I really appreciate them packing up everything so well when we went to pick up leftover wine and decor items. The terrific service is definitely worth it, my day was very stress-free because of Wendy, Molly, and their team. Our family has used them three times so far, and we will continue to recommend them!

    If you are looking for amazing, quality food & professional catering services, you MUST book with Glorious Affairs catering. Barbara, Wendy & all of their chefs and staff made our wedding on 10/21/17 the most special occasion. From the first e-mails & meetings for tastings, Barbara was attentive, patient and helpful along the way. We felt completely at ease knowing they were handling everything and would deliver the BEST food for our big day. And THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT. The appetizers did NOT stop coming out – all of our guests said they couldn’t stop eating the amazing passed appetizers – shrimp cocktail, sweet potato fritters, tenderloin crostini and bacon-wrapped chicken. Staff members ensured that myself and the groom were able to enjoy them and followed us around with a tray,
    For the reception, we opted for a stations menu with two delicious salad options, a grill station with the best salmon, beef and chicken we have ever had, and then our favorite, A TACO STATION. Our friends and family have not stopped talking about the food, and everyone was very impressed by the presentation of each station and the quality service from the staff. Our dessert was a pie station with various fruit pies with ice cream and whipped cream and it was perfect.
    The table setup was EXACTLY how we envisioned everything and Barbara and Wendy were so incredibly kind and thoughtful and ensured we were all taken care of that night. Even things as simple as having a pitcher of water available for my mother and making a special plate of roasted potatoes for the groom were greatly appreciated. We can assure you that Glorious Affairs will go above and beyond to ensure your day is perfect and that your guests will be extremely impressed by the food and décor and will leave well-fed. Glorious Affairs deserves all of the awards and recognition and you shouldn’t shop around – they are truly THE BEST!

    Our daughter and son-in-law were married on 10/21/17, and Glorious Affairs provided the most incredible food for their special day! The quality and amount of food was perfect, and the service was impeccable. Barbara, Wendy & their staff were wonderful to work with through the entire planning process and catered to our needs every minute of the day. They are worth every penny and truly give you individualized care and attention. The wedding guests have not stopped talking about how amazing the food was!

    My daughter was recently married and chose Glorious Affairs to handle the event. I had used GA before and was very happy with my daughter's choice. Wendy Cobb expertly managed every aspect of the event. The food was 5 star. The staff beyond professional. The wedding was perfect.
    It was the WAY above and beyond things Wendy did - with a threat of rain reappearing after I cancelled the tent, Wendy purchased (on her own) coverings for the outdoor ceremony. She made great suggestions throughout the planning process and I trusted her implicitly. I can't say enough about the chef and staff. Every aspect was first class.

    Glorious Affairs catered our wedding in September 2017, and we could not be happier! Barbara and her team happily accommodated all of our special requests, and from the initial meetings to the week leading up, she really put us at ease throughout the planning process and we knew we were in great hands. We didn't use a wedding coordinator, and Barbara really stepped up to help fill that gap.
    When we arrived at our reception, everything was set up beautifully, Barbara’s team took care of everything. Barbara had a server assigned to my husband and me, and they did a great job tracking us down as we moved around so we didn’t miss any of the exceptional appetizers they prepared. The servers were clearly very experienced, as they circulated the appetizers throughout the venue, and there was plenty of food for everybody. Our guests are still raving about the food, from the apps through our perfectly thought out dessert buffet.
    We can’t thank you enough for doing such an amazing job. You truly went above and beyond for us, thank you!!

    Glorious affairs did everything right and filled us with so much confidence that we were able to relax and actually enjoy our planning process. From our first interaction with Wendy, to the end of our wedding night they made sure we were taken care of. Their menu is to die for, and it was hard to narrow it down to just a handful of items (Definitely go with the fish!). All the guests remarked on how delicious the food was, and the staff was superb. They worked hand in hand with all our vendors and coordinated every detail of the day and it went off without a hitch. I could not recommend them more highly!

    Barbara and Glorious Affairs are fantastic. We hired and partnered with her team for our Wedding Welcome party this summer. Everything was coordinated well, her design of a custom menu for our party was creative and turned out super tasty. People are still talking about how great the food was (seriously, asking for recipes!). The staff is amazing and very professional, our servers and bartenders kept everyone with cocktails and food in hand. Glorious Affair’s takes the stress out of party planning and can be trusted to plan, coordinate and cater a great event. We are local to Rhode Island and will definitely use Glorious Affairs for future events again.

    Glorious Affairs rocks! Barbara and her team made our wedding celebration so memorable for our families and our guests. The location, the International Tennis Hall of Fame in Newport, RI never looked better thanks to the beautiful decorations of golden pineapples and flower arrangements. The custom drink menu was a hit and the Pimms Cups made us feel like we were at Wimbledon.

    Thank you for helping us have an absolutely fabulous celebration. Game, Set & Match goes to Glorious Affairs.

    In May 2017 my daughter was married. Barbara, the owner of Glorious Affairs went above and beyond to make her wedding the perfect day. From the moment we decided to have her cater my daughters wedding Barbara was available for any questions or concerns. My daughter was a nervous bride. Barbara was aware and showed up at her ceremony to greet her as she walked in. Just to help her feel a little at ease. My daughter couldn't believe she thought so much of her to do that. Above and Beyond....now onto the reception. I have been to many weddings. Glorious Affairs is by far the best cater I have ever experienced. The food was amazing. Everything came out hot and right on time. Guests are still complementing the food. I can't say enough about how delicious every morsel was. The display and attentiveness from the staff was the best I have ever experienced. Thank you Barbara and staff...you are truly professional that creates 5 star food and service. Now onto the next wedding. No question...Glorious Affairs will be doing my other daughters wedding next September.

    Glorious Affairs has done both my daughter's wedding in 2012 and this year my son's wedding in May. They did both the reception and the brunch the morning after. I would not use anyone else. The food is fabulous and very well presented and the staff is fantastic. I recommend them to all my friends and contacts looking for a caterer.

    Barbara and her staff delivered such a wonderful day full of great food and exceptional service! She was so easy to work with and really helped us plan an unforgettable event. She also did her best to accommodate our wants and needs within our budget and offered many new and creative suggestions. On our actual wedding day they took such good care of us that we felt as if they were part of our family! You won't regret choosing Glorious Affairs!

    I HIGHLY recommend this catering company. I cannot say enough about how great Barbara and Glorious Affairs were for our wedding. Barbara was very attentive to our needs from our initial meeting through every last detail at the wedding. Her knowledge and experience were evident at every meeting as she helped to guide us through the whole process. After our first meeting with Barbara we immediately knew we were in the right place. Our wedding was very nontraditional in many aspects and not only did Barbara totally understand our vision and all of our needs, but she also was able to make amazing suggestions that I hadn’t thought of myself. The food at the wedding was really the perfect culmination of our entire experience with Glorious Affairs. Our guests continue to comment on how delicious the food was, how plentiful it was, and how wonderful and attentive all of the wait staff was! Thank you Barbara for making our day perfection!!

    The Glorious Affairs team was absolutely fabulous! Everyone from Barbara, to the caterers themselves went above and beyond to make our wedding special. I was able to have everything I ever wanted and more. The food exceeded my expectations and I can't wait to plan more events with Glorious Affairs!
