Gloria M. Sent on 06/21/2023I will be recommending Matthews Catering to all of my friends
I simply cannot begin to describe how wonderful Matthews Catering and Penny, the day-of-coordinator, are. We planned our wedding from many states away and even with the complications that brought, Matthews was attentive to my questions, and flexible with my, and my family's schedules. On the day of my wedding, I knew I was in good hands with Penny running the show. I did not have a seperate planner/coordinator, so having Penny run us through the ceremony cues, the schedule for the entire day, and everything else was incredible. And of course, the food was absolutely amazing. We had multiple guests tell us how much they enjoyed it. We also had guests with dietary restrictions and they also had a wonderful meal. Thank you again! -

My son and his wife came home to Connecticut for their wedding from the West coast and I was charged with finding a caterer. Needless to say, I was nervous with the responsibility and well aware of the challenges of planning a wedding with multiple people from long distances. I did my homework and was convinced I had selected the right caterer when I spoke to both Penny and Matthew. What a team! Professional and talented, they handled everything from the delicious, plentiful food, to the timely responses to questions, to setting up the tables and running through the rehearsal. One of the caterers even held my dog during the service until it was time for him to bear the rings. Their crew was equally professional, courteous and unobtrusive in their service. Thanks so much...I've run out of kids, but if I didn't, you'd be first on the list! Donna and Peter Larkin -

We have nothing but good things to say about Matthew, Linda and the Matthew’s catering team! Not only is their food absolutely amazing, but they are extremely kind, generous and helpful. We couldn’t have done our wedding weekend without them. Special shout-out to Linda as well because she made our day so effortless from set up, to rehearsal organization and clean up at the end. We appreciate it so much! -

Matthew's Catering was one of our best choices for our wedding. From the tasting to the actual day of, my family and friends were blown away with the food served. I am still getting people commenting on the food and selection. The staff was exceptional and made sure all the little details were taken care of. If you're looking for a caterer that will literally cater to your needs, hire Matthew's! -

First off, I think the best thing we did in regards to our wedding is hire Matthews Catering.
From the start, they were very responsive, very sweet and we were also new to all this wedding planning and they assured us they had our backs. Initial meetings and meetings throughout the 2 years, we end up building an amazing relationship with them. They were only one text/call away. I probably asked them 4 million questions but they answered each one with a smile on their face and such love in their heart for us!
The weekend of the wedding (we used them for 2 out of 3 days of the wedding), they came fully staffed and ready to serve our guests. They were prompt, cleaned up and were looking forward to the next day of events.
The food: this one needs a special paragraph on its' own because WOW. I got married 10.09.21 and people still tell me the food was delicious and the presentation of the food was wonderful. Matt really puts a lot of hard work into making your dream wedding menu a success. He worked very closely with us to understand what we wanted to do and what food would go well with the venue. When walking into our tasting, we didn't have much expectations because we never had a wedding before, we have just tasted high quality restaurant food. We went in with a very open mind and we came out with huge smiles on our face. He exceeded our expectations and every cut of meat we had or every type of bread or crouton we had was delicious. I can't say enough about Matts cooking, I felt so thankful to have a chef that cared so much about 2 people and their wedding menu.
The Planning: From day 1 when we started talking with Matthews catering, they had our back. They gave us ideas, we gave them ideas back and we went back and forth on designs, colors, ideas, decor, etc. Their view was so helpful because they have done weddings many times, so I really took their professional advice and they made sure that's what I wanted. They helped me with my timeline, outfits, colors, dishes, rentals, dealing with vendors, helping with bringing lunch to the bridal suite and so many more things that are so little during the weekend of the wedding, I didn't even realize because Matthews had it covered. This whole team worked effortlessly the weekend of our wedding and we are so thankful, amazing people, amazing food and overall, so happy that we went with them.
Matt, Penny, Lin & the whole entire team that worked effortlessly all weekend on our events, we thank you from the bottom of both of our hearts. We truly and sincerely could not have hired a better team to celebrate our big day with. We hope you get the opportunity to take some much needed rest this holiday season and every season. You are truly what a great vendor is and should be. Your attention to detail is spot on and you have made us the happiest.
We hope we can find an excuse to work with you and your team again in the future!
Love you all! -

Molly Sent on 09/07/2021Absolutely amazing
Honestly, look no further. Matthews catering was the easiest decision in my wedding planning process. They take care of just about everything about the big day. They coordinate all the rentals, alcohol if needed, staff, set up, break down! I was elated to work with Lin and Matthew for my wedding and was not only satisfied but they went above any expectation I had. They were able to take so much stress off of me for my wedding that I wasn’t worried at all how the day would go! It was seamless, beautiful, and immaculate. 11/10 would hire them again in a heartbeat! Incredible job. -

As a Connecticut Justice of the Peace I have officiated at over 2800 wedding ceremonies and have had the opportunity to have many meals prepared by different caterers. I have found Matthew's Catering to be on the top of the list . The quality of their food is the very best and their food is absolutely mouth watering. The presentation, quality and portions of their food is not only delicious but also eye catching. The amount of food that is served is overwhelming . I sit and I listen to other guests expressing their satisfaction with the food that Matthews Catering is serving and how much they are enjoying it.
Penny is in charge of the coordination of all the servers and also does such a fabulous job doing this. The staff is so attentive and fulfill all the wants and needs of the guests.
If you want a 5 star caterer with 5 star food then Matthews Catering is the place to call. -

Kate Sent on 09/14/2019The BEST caterer ever!
Where to begin? From the minute we met the team from Matthew's, we knew that's who we wanted to cater our wedding. The food was incredible, the staff outstanding, and the entire planning process was painless.
Words can't describe how grateful we are for all that Matthew's did to make our day perfect. -

If you are looking for amazing food and service for your wedding, you’ve found it at Matthew’s. We are so incredibly grateful that our venue recommended Matthew’s Catering, as choosing them was one of the best things we did throughout the wedding planning process. From the start, Matthew and his team made us feel more than welcome. Within the initial meeting to discuss the possibility of working together, my husband and I left full of delicious food and a clear decision in our minds. The menu that Matthew put together encapsulated everything that we wanted in our wedding meal, and the rave reviews from our guests don’t lie! It’s pretty incredible when people actually feel full from dinner at a wedding, and we seemed to reach that point!
In addition to the amazing food provided by Matthew and his team, I can’t let this review continue without mentioning Linda and emphasizing how incredibly wonderful and completely essential a role she played. When we were looking for a catering company we expected help with food and service, but from Linda we truly received a full on wedding coordinator. I (with help from friends, family and fiancé) planned the entire wedding and DIY-ed most of it myself. While I was hopeful that things would work and come together, Linda was a true savior, asking questions I never would have thought of and having answers for everything. She clearly knew her stuff, and was so gracious sharing her knowledge with us! No matter what the question, she was able to help. It was all thanks to her and her team that the wedding came together the way it did. Every compliment we received truly was owed to her. I had to hold back some tears walking into the venue before the ceremony, as it truly looked even more incredible than I ever could have imagined. We are so appreciative of everything she and the team did for us, and count ourselves incredibly lucky to have had the chance to work with her, Matthew, and the entire team. -
Michelle Sent on 11/07/2017We can't say enough good things about Matthews Catering and his staff!! Matthews food is out of this world! It was most important to us to have excellent food at our wedding. The food was cooked perfectly! It was exactly what we wanted for our wedding day. It was the gourmet Italian style we were looking for. We can't count how many of our guests approached us to tell us how amazing the food was and how it was the best they have ever had a wedding. They not only provided fantastic food but they also provided Lin who was our wedding planner. It was a package deal that Lin came with Matthews service. She is phenomenal! She met with us a couple of times and helped us with the planning process. She kept is great contact all the way up to the wedding day. Not only did she help with the planning but she was there for our rehearsal dinner and the entire day of the wedding. We had our wedding at home and Matthews helped with all the other rentals like tent, tables, chairs, linens etc. We didn't have to do much, they took care of contacting the rental companies getting quotes etc. It was such a huge help that they took care of everything. The wedding day was absolutely perfect and that is because of Lin , Matthew and Matthew's Catering staff . If you want unbelievable food at your wedding that your guests will rave about then we highly recommend you use Matthew's. We are so glad we chose them for our wedding day! They are a wonderful company and absolutely wonderful people! We can't thank them enough for helping to make our day so special. It was truly the best day of our lives!
