    Exceptional Wedding Caterer

    Linwoods was integral in making our wedding day special. Catering was our highest priority in terms of vendor selection, and Linwoods exceeded our expectations in every respect. They created a custom, family-style menu for us to reflect my husband’s New Mexico roots, and absolutely nailed every aspect. Our guests raved about the food, and even the guests who had flown in from New Mexico gave it a full stamp of approval. Linwoods also put on an exceptional cocktail hour and late night bar and food service for our afterparty. There was never a wait at the bar and passed hors d’oeuvres were plentiful. Linwoods also went above and beyond to create our ideal list of signature cocktails and mocktails, and went out of their way to source the exact wines, beers and spirits we wanted to serve. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

    Mouth watering food!

    Linwoods was amazing. The staff was on top of everything and always so attentive. My husband and I were always given new drinks whenever we were empty. We also were offered food so much. Linwoods is the perfect. Sherri is absolutely amazing and so helpful!

    The BEST Catering Experience!

    I will never stop raving about Linwoods! From the start, I could tell that Sherri and the entire Linwoods team knew exactly what they were doing. Sherri was there throughout the entire two and a half year process and we couldn't be happier. She was also incredibly honest and open about pricing and never tried to upsell us on anything, which is refreshing in the wedding industry.

    We were able to customize so much and it was great to have Sherri's knowledge and and honest transparency about what guests care about and what makes the most sense for the wedding and the venue space.

    I knew come the wedding day I wouldn't have to worry about any of the food or drinks, and all of our guests were absolutely thrilled. We were told it was some of the best food they've ever had at a wedding - and we agree! The additional staff to make sure the couple and the parents are taken care of is such a plus! So many people told me they didn't eat at their wedding, but with Linwoods, they made sure we ate and drank all night. I definitely recommend Linwoods and their staff to make catering as stress free as possible for your wedding.

    Amazing!

    Sherri and her team at Linwoods were absolutely amazing. The food was incredible, the bartenders were so fun, the service was spot on (my husband and I had a personal waitress who made sure we ate and drank throughout the evening), and the cake was INSANE. All of my guests raved about the food and service. Highly highly recommend!

    Best food with the best service!

    Linwoods catered our recent wedding at the Winslow in Baltimore and they were the absolute best! From the tasting process to working with us to customize the menu, to the day of experience everything was wonderful! Their food was incredible and people could not stop raving about how good it was. Rachel was our catering director and she was a true treasure to work with! She was super responsive, very attentive and totally understanding. They have their service down to a T and we could not have been happier with the entire experience. The restaurant is a great place to eat a wonderful meal in addition to them having a great catering team!

    OMG Just Pick Linwoods

    From the tastings through the reception we were blown away by Linwoods. Rachel is a phenomenal manager and contact point and offered great advice when needed. We had a multitude of compliments on the food from guests at the wedding. We had a few tell us it was the best steak they’ve ever had and many tell us they’ve never been better fed at a wedding. Absolutely first class service throughout.

    Phenomenal, from start to finish.

    Our guests raved about our food! We can’t tell you how many times friends and family were disappointed with food at weddings, including us. Our food was truly spectacular. It was just as amazing as our tasting. The service was quick and efficient - we had plenty of hors d'oeuvres - the dinners were all hot, and the bar was on point. My mom has some special requests that they promised and delivered, and the service in general was incredible. We dealt with Sherri, and she is so on it. I was relaxed from the second I emailed her and heard back. Her experience, organization, responsiveness and desire to please is unparalleled. We are so grateful we chose Linwoods, and can’t wait to go back to celebrate our one year anniversary. Highly recommend!

    Linwoods has unmatched food and service for your wedding!

    We cannot recommend Linwoods (and Sherri!) enough! From our very first meeting, throughout the planning process, and up to the big day itself, Sherri and her team were incredible to work with. Linwoods accommodated all of our requests, customizing our wedding to be exactly what we wanted. They were also very transparent and reasonable in what those customizations meant monetarily. Having attended many weddings ourselves, there were things we knew wanted to make sure happened - minimal crowding at the bar, ensuring guests actually got an appetizer, food allergies/sensitivities, etc. The team was on top of EVERYTHING the entire night. People cannot stop talking about how amazing the food was - seriously, it was out of this world. If you want fabulous food and stress-free catering, go with Linwoods.

    Amazing and delicious

    Linwood’s was so incredibly amazing, I am so thrilled that we picked them to be our caterer. Sherri was so helpful in so many more decisions besides catering - it can be so daunting when you’ve never planned a wedding before but Sherri was always there to lend her expertise and advice when we needed her. I could not have asked for a better caterer who was so attentive to our needs and the needs of our guests. Our guests continue to compliment the food and everyone enjoyed our option to have late night snacks. We love Linwood’s and since they are a restaurant it makes it easy to visit and enjoy some of the same incredible food that was at our wedding.

    TOP NOTCH wedding caterer!!

    We cannot rave enough about Linwoods catering service for our wedding and all of the help that Sherri provided. The food was absolutely delicious, fresh and exactly what we wanted to serve our guests. The staff was attentive, professional and ensured that we stayed on our timeline for the day. Sherri remembered so many small details we mentioned at our tasting and truly made us feel like royalty. She truly went above and beyond her duties and helped us with the linens, tables and floorplan. We are so glad we chose Linwoods as our caterer and will be forever grateful at having the pleasure to work with Sherri to make our wedding dreams come true. You absolutely have to consider Linwoods to cater your event!

    10/5 stars

    I wish I could rate them higher than 5. Our entire experience with Linwoods was amazing. Rachel is so professional and on top of everything. She offered great insight to help with our decision making and our event went off perfectly. The food is AMAZING. I dreamt of the food after both tastings. Our guests were so impressed. Could not recommend them more!

    Linwoods Made Me Look Like the Hostess with the Mostest

    We held our son and his bride's Night Before Party at Linwoods on June 25, 2021. Throughout the pandemic Linwoods stayed in touch with us and when we had a rescheduled date they were able to accommodate us. Not only was the food for our event outstanding, but the presentation and service knock it up even more. They were a delight to work with and I would highly recommend them.

    Absolutely amazing!!

    I cannot begin to describe our experience from Linwood’s. From day one, Sherri (whom I absolutely adore!!) have been so accommodating, tentative, professional, and above all so loving and caring to work with. Getting engaged in a pandemic, there was always some uncertainty, but Sherri and Linwood’s made us feel special throughout the entire process and kept reassuring us that everything was going to be okay and boy was it! Our guests raved about the food from the cocktail hour all the way to dessert along with the outstanding service. Choosing Sherri and Linwood’s was the best decision we made during our wedding planning process and I cannot recommend them more highly. We are looking forward to dining at Linwood’s for years to come and want to thank them from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding truly the best day of our lives!

    So much more than a caterer!

    Linwoods was one of the best choices we made for our wedding day. From the very beginning, their service outshone any competition. Sherri, the catering coordinator, is one of the best people you an having on your wedding team. She takes the time to get to know the couple, even asking us about our job placement and house hunt around the time of the wedding. She will go the extra mile to make sure everything is how you envision on the day of. The food was incredibly delicious and is of the same quality as the amazing food you will eat at the restaurant. The pastry chef is incredible and as a bride with a major sweet tooth, our cake was delicious! We opted for an open bar, and our guests were so pleased with the bar service and had a blast! Sherri also coordinated all of our linens for the wedding - we loved all it! We would highly, so highly, recommend choosing Linwoods for your catering and we hope to return for anniversary dinners in years to come!

    Sherri is exceptional, great to work with

    Not only was our food delicious and the staff professional, the entire experience with Linwoods (Sherri in particular) was fantastic. Sherri went above and beyond to ensure we got what we wanted, and even connected us to a great wedding planner (Heather St. Clair). Most importantly, when wedding day came around, we had zero concerns because we knew we were in good hands. Worth every penny!

    Sherri is amazing!

    We only had two catering options at the Winslow, and Linwood’s blew it out of the water when we were choosing.
    Working with Sherri was AMAZING. She knows every detail and makes everything seem so simple. “Whatever you want.” She was exactly the type of person I needed when making the biggest decisions of wedding day (FOOD). I would choose Linwood’s over and over again, and Sherri is a big part of that!
    All of the guests complimented how delicious the food was, and I was so thankful Sherri coordinated getting the ice cream I wanted. Service was fantastic. Eric and I always had a drink in hand and had food in front us as soon as we sat down.
    Highly recommend!

    PERFECT! Linwoods Catering is phenomenal. Tali is very talented and organized as a banquet director. She made sure that every detail was perfect. Dinner service was fast, the food was delicious, the bartenders were efficient, the cake was incredible. I cannot say enough good things about this experience. It was a pleasure to work with such a talented team. The head chef Saon is beyond talented and the entire staff were professional, personable, and provided exceptional service and food. Thank you all for making our wedding day perfect!

    Food People Will Actually Remember

    Linwoods went above and beyond to make my wedding amazing. We debated between them and the only other caterer and they wowed us at dinner and then a proper tasting. The food was phenomenal, and as the bride, you don't eat much, but I made sure to get lots of apps and dinner!

    Sherri answered all of my endless questions and concerns, she addressed the issues with guests who were pregnant and had dietary restrictions with ease, and the wedding went off without a hitch. Suzanne, the night-of POC, was introduced to me before the ceremony and she made sure everything went smoothly. I had guests tell me afterward how punctual and effective she was as a caterer, and that made me very happy to hear!

    Sherri appointed me a woman named Shawn (sp?) who attended to me and my husband the entire night. She kept my entire family and bridal party fed throughout the cocktail hour and before the ceremony with endless apps, which were MUCH appreciated! Sherri even popped champagne with us before everyone arrived.

    Linwoods, while pricey, was worth every penny and I can't thank them enough for delivering what was a wonderful meal that people will remember!

    Best wedding food EVER

    We worked with Sherri to cater our wedding on 10/26/19 and the entire process was amazing from beginning to end. First of all, the way they conduct tastings is incredible. We were invited to the restaurant for an initial tasting simply to determine whether we wanted to hire them (we were invited to order anything on their dinner menu to try), and then as we got closer to the wedding we came back for the official tasting to determine our menu. This was a breath of fresh air in contrast to multiple other caterers we spoke with who required us to book and then wait to do a tasting months later.

    We immediately felt at ease with Sherri's confident and knowledgeable guidance. She gave wonderful advice and was so open to any of our requests, including adding a special apple cider bar in a side room at our venue. She made us feel like there was no such thing as impossible, and the answer to any request was always "yes." Any time we had a question, Sherri was there to answer within moments the whole way through.

    Our guests were blown away by the food on the day of the wedding. We got SO many compliments and comments that it was the best wedding food people had ever had. The food was truly exactly as it was served to us in their restaurant on the day of the tasting. The steak was done perfectly medium rare, the food was hot, and everything was just wonderful. Sherri frequently checked in with us throughout the day and the staff made sure that my husband and I had everything we needed, from appetizers while we were running around during cocktail hour to refreshing our drinks. We felt so taken care of the entire day, and so did our guests. We cannot recommend Linwoods highly enough!

    Linwoods went above and beyond!

    Sherri and the team from Linwoods went above and beyond for our September wedding. Everything was perfect! They were so accommodating and attentive. They worked around my husbands picky taste and knocked it out of the park! Everyone at our wedding was raving about the amazing food!

    Best decision ever.

    I feel like saying Linwoods was the perfect caterer would be a complete injustice to their food, cocktails and service. Linwoods went above and beyond for my recent August wedding.

    The food. The food was not only delicious, but beautifully presented, and best of all, it was steaming hot when presented to our guests. During cocktail hour, our guests raved about every hors d'oeuvre that was kindly passed their way, and last, but not least, the desserts. My now husband is a huge ice cream fan. Our guests were surprised with an ice cream sundae bar, and I am still dreaming about our wedding cake.

    The cocktails. We served dirty martinis and aperol spritz to our guests as our specialty cocktails. They were a HIT and the bartenders served them perfectly. The wines were superb and Linwoods was able to source the beers we requested.

    The service. Sherri is amazing! Not only as a director, but as a person. It was my true pleasure to be able to work with her and her team. They are professional, friendly and extremely efficient. They are flawless. By the end of my experience with the Linwoods team, they felt more like family and friends than a vendor.

    Look no further than Linwoods. I promise you - they will not disappoint. They will be the best decision you made since you said "Yes!" to marrying your future spouse.

    Sherri is AMAZING!

    If you don't use Linwoods for your wedding you shouldn't bother getting married! Sherri and her team are UNBELIEVABLE. From start to finish the wedding was amazing. I am still hearing from people about how amazing the event was from the food to the service. This team is professional, kind and if I could give them Michelin star's for wedding food I would. What you get at your tasting is what you will receive at your wedding, but maybe better! We couldn't of asked for a better wedding day and it was Linwood's staff and food that made it all the more special!

    The best!

    Working with Linwoods was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding at the Mt. Washington Mill Dye House. Rachel, the Executive Assistant at Linwoods, was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. She was accommodating, helpful, enthusiastic, and made sure everything was perfect on the day of the wedding. The food was INCREDIBLE. Seriously, as I am writing this I'm dreaming about all the delicious things we had and wishing I could eat some of it again! In addition to the food, the wait staff were amazing as well. They were attentive and thorough. Our friends and family are still talking about the quality and taste of the food at our wedding. I'm SO happy we decided to go with Linwoods for our wedding, and I can't wait to grab dinner at the restaurant very soon!
