    Halloween Wedding 10/28/23

    Our experience working with Summit View was a all around great experience. Brenda and the entire staff were there for us from beginning to the end. The food was excellent and we received nothing but praise from all our guests regarding it. The only complaint from guests was that they ate too much and couldn't dance as much as they wanted because they were full!. Highly recommend them for future weddings.

    Fantastic food

    The food was so amazing and we got a lot of compliments on it throughout the night and the next day! When we had our tasting, it was very difficult to decide what we wanted for our wedding because everything was SO good. Highly recommend!

    Amazing wedding experience with Hamels!

    We are so glad that we chose Hamel’s to cater our wedding! The food was delicious and the staff was so friendly and helpful. Our guests definitely ate their fill and told us they loved it! We would highly recommend Hamel’s for any similar events. Additionally, Brenda was absolutely amazing to work with. Flexible, checked in often, was on top of everything!

    Wedding reception

    Hamel’s provided the catering for my son and daughter-in-law’s October wedding reception in Amherst, MA. Brenda made the planning process personal, easy and relaxed; she was highly responsive and didn’t miss a single detail.

    For our casual event, we opted for banquet-style serving—our guests loved it because they could graze all night long! The Hamel’s team smoothly transitioned from appetizers to entrees to desserts. The team on-site at our event was just the best! They managed to be attentive and professional, while at the same time friendly and unobtrusive. It’s worth mentioning that it rained pretty much the whole evening, and the Hamel’s team was in and out of the weather all night long—they took it in stride! The food was absolutely delicious—we heard wonderful comments from our guests.

    I highly recommend Hamel’s.

    Our Jack n Jill

    We planned a Jack n Jill celebration at the pavilion. The service was OUTSTANDING. The crew we had were extremely helpful, fun and just couldn't have been nicer. The food was amazing and the price per plate just can't be beat. I highly recommend the Summit View and Hamel's Creative Catering for all of your celebrations WITHOUT HESITATION.

    Great Food and service

    Catered our wedding last Sat 8.5.23. Delivery on time. Very professional service. The food was fantastic, Our guests were impressed at the quality. We had it catered for 50 but I think it would have easily fed 75 . Multiple guests took food home and we are still eating the leftovers two days later. Chicken cordon blue, Yankee pot roast and stuffed shells ( which were huge) were all excellent. Many comments on the quality of the salad too. Thank you Hamels for doing such a good job.

    Great Venue

    Summit view was just what we were looking for our wedding! Brenda Lee was amazing and helped us through figuring out our wedding. She was very responsive. They recently added an archway and it was a beautiful location for the ceremony. The staff was very professional and helpful. The food was delicious, everyone loved it. For the services that were provided it was a great value! We had an amazing day!

    More then professional

    We cannot say enough about Hamel’s.

    The place to start is obviously the quality of the food. I think there is no better confirmation that the food is fantastic then when guests come up to you or at your wedding to ask about the food. We had multiple people approach us interested in utilizing hamels in the future because of how good the food was.

    However, for my wife and I, what really stood out was their flexibility. We had to make a few last minute changes in the final two weeks and the folks at Hamels were more then willing to accommodate. Professional does not do them justice.

    On-site all the staff were wonderfully friendly offering to make my wife and I plates for later when they realized we slowly would not have time to eat.


    In final, if we were to get married again there is no caterer we would rather use.

    They were exceptional.

    Best Wedding Vendor, Cater

    Let me take a moment and tell you about the greatest place . Not Only do they have beautiful property for inside or outside weddings and really good food, Brenda Lee is so amazing to work with. long story short, we planned on doing our wedding on their grounds but universe had other plans for me and my now husband. I emailed Brenda and told her we had to pull out, i was expecting to lose my deposit of 1,000. She asked me what was going on and if we still would like to do catering with them and use our deposit towards food for our now DIY picnic wedding. That food was delish. i would recommend them to anyone.

    Great Food Great People

    I cannot express how amazing my wedding day was. Throughout my planning Brenda was super responsive and helpful. I didn’t know what I was doing half the time as a new bride, but Brenda was extremely kind and patient and helpful. The day of my wedding was amazing. The grounds for the ceremony were beautiful, and inside for the reception everything was set up exactly how I wanted it. Every single guest raved about the food and Chef Tony came to check on us multiple times throughout the night. The waitstaff was incredible and so attentive! I highly recommend Summit View and Hamel’s for your wedding!

    Good company, great food and wonderful service

    I’m happy to leave a good review for this catering company. They, very happily, catered our daughters wedding for 75 guests in just 2 months notice. They were quick with all the details and helped with suggestions for everything we needed. I will continue to recommend them to all my friends and acquaintances.

    November Wedding

    The venue was very beautiful, great prices as well. The staffs were amazing, very helpful and willing to work with you. Our day was perfect, we wish the ceremony set up was better as we want everyone facing up front and we had everyone sitting down but overall, it was amazing. The food was great and delicious!

    Outstanding in "All Facets of The Game" from FOTB

    Hamels Creative Catering, Brenda Lee and the on-site team helped make our wedding a huge success! The food was excellent, servers professional, courteous and very personable. Brenda Lee was a great help, "hand holding," throughout the process. She gently offered suggestions and options to the many things we didn't know about and was always an email or phone call away.
    I can't say enough about our experience, It far exceeded our expectations and the cost was very fair compared to other places we looked at.
    I recommend Hamels without reserve or hesitation to anyone looking for a high end caterer at a reasonable price!

    amazing choice

    The staff was amazing and super nice. The food was also very delicious! The only negative thing i can possibly think of was the communication leading up to the wedding was a little rough. But not bad enough to change my review from 5 stars. The day of the wedding everything went perfectly and the food was amazing.

    Hamel's Creative Catering

    Hamel's not only provided us with delicious food for our wedding, but absolutely enhanced our experience overall with their ability to accommodate our needs while remaining flexible all the way around. From the servers, to the quality of food, to the smaller details like napkins and placement of dishes, we would not have wanted to do this with any other company. Major shout out to Brenda (director of sales and marketing) who fielded my menagerie of questions at a moments notice. Her experience in this field in invaluable and I am so thankful to have had her as a resource!

    Outstanding!

    My now Husband and I had our wedding in September and Hamel's was the one who catered it. It was so delicious! We chose the chicken cordon bleu and the yankee pot roast and our guests were raving about it! Not only was the food and presentation beautiful, the staff was wonderful. They were so attentive and let me know what was happening every step of the way. Hamel's allowed me to customize my social hour selections and did a charcuterie board for me and it was so gorgeous! It really was eye catching and our guests were thrilled about it. Thank you so much to the Hamel's team for all your hard work to make our wedding so awesome!

    Loved Summit View’s pavilion and gazebo, had our ceremony and reception all in one place. Beautiful lawns for photos and lawn games, the staff were terrific, and Hamel’s Catering provided a great buffet that everyone really enjoyed.

    The Summit View made my wedding day so perfect outside in the pavilion! Setting up all the center pieces perfectly and all the other stuff. The staff was so helpful, efficient and the sweetest. Always had a smile on their face! I love all of them!
    All of our family loved the wedding. The food was delicious! When we were taking pictures they brought over a table and brought over food for the wedding party and some drinks!
    I couldn’t have had a better day! Thank you everyone at the Summit View 💙 they are the best!
