    Would definitely recommend!!

    Soraya is the best. She made our wedding so stress-free and seamless. She took care of everything was extremely professional and efficient and made sure we had everything we needed. Her team was also A+ and all of our guests remarked on how fun and friendly they all were. We absolutely could not have had the wedding we dreamed of without Soraya.

    A dream come true!

    Soraya was beyond professional and made my wedding dreams come true. I literally walked into my venue after the ceremony and was blown away. Every little detail was taken care of and she really worked with me to help ease all my worries. I have recommended her to ALL of my friends and I will absolutely be using her for more events in the future!!

    Amazing catering/event planning!

    We used SYB for our wedding at the beginning of October (2022) and were absolutely blown away by the experience. The food was the most important part of our wedding to us and we wanted to take a unique approach. We worked with Soraya to plan a menu that we were hugely excited about. She tailored everything to our preferences! She even put together an incredible at-home tasting for us during COVID. Soraya also acts as a day-of coordinator and her attention to detail really put my mind at ease in the days leading up. The food and service at the reception was out of this world. All of our guests were raving all night long from the passed apps, to the raw bar to the stations with live chefs. Soraya and her team could not have done a better job helping us bring our vision to life.

    October wedding

    Soraya and her team were absolutely unbelievable - not only did she make our wedding planning seamless, but her dedication, commitment, and food were AMAZING! Weeks after our wedding, our guests were still raving about their meal! (Apparently they ate all the food too, lol!)

    From the second we contacted Soraya, everything just fell into place. She met all of our expectations and was able to work with us to stay within our budget. Having an October wedding, Soraya was able to make small recommendations to have a few fall flavors incorporated. Her professionalism, cheery personality and over the top operation is a MUST HIRE!

    Not a single detail was missed and our wedding was nothing short of a fairy tale thanks to Soraya and her team!

    Top of the line caterer

    My husband and I did a DIY wedding and brunch the day after that was fully catered by Soraya and her team at SYB. I still get compliments on how unbelievably delicious the food was to this day. Soraya made the entire process seamless from the tasting, recommendations and executing the day of. I can't recommend Soraya enough and I have very high standards

    The Best of the Best, Highly Recommend

    SYB is an amazing catering company! Not only are they punctual and professional, Soraya and her team are super kind and very accommodating to their customer's dietary restrictions and other needs. At my wife's and my wedding we had a few dietary restrictions and our guests had a diverse range of palates from Italian to Indian food lovers. We had stuffed shells, masala dosa, bruschetta, as well as pani puri and other chaats to name a few dishes. SYB was very good at asking about specific dietary restrictions from the beginning, working with us to make the menu, and offering suggestions and helpful advice since this was our first time using a catering company. Also I highly recommend SYB's tiramisu and cheesecake bites. So yummy! On the day of the wedding they set everything up, served everything themselves,and cleaned up after themselves. If you need a catering company they are the ones to call!

    Making things painless

    Me and my husband had a huge wedding planned with more than 100 people, we had to work around the pandemic, and had no idea what to do or where to start! Soraya made it so painless and easy like it was nothing! She was always flexible and was able to work around alot of changes at the drop of a hat. And now I sometimes seak out her help way after the wedding for all kinds of things! She even helped me make a wedding album way after the wedding. Highly recommended 100%

    Soraya is incredibly great at what she does and she has an awesome team

    I would give Soraya and her team a 5+ star if this was an option. She provides the best in class service for the same price as other event planner/coordinators and her catering services is top notch. I would strongly recommend Soraya’s services for your event (our event was a wedding), especially if you have cultural elements at your event. She listens intently, she will study/learn your culture, and she will deliver exactly what you ask for (unlike other caterers and planners that I talked to before stumbling upon Soraya). Fortunately for us, she knew more about the Persian culture than I did (and I was born in Iran). She is from a multi-cultural background herself and has built a wide network of relationship with chefs and vendors from various backgrounds.

    I would also strongly recommend couples to pay for her ‘day of’ or ‘month of’ coordination services. It is worth every penny. My wife and I weren’t sure if we wanted to pay extra for that. Thank God we decided to opt in for her ‘day of coordination’ services and if I had to do it all over, I would probably pay for her ‘month of coordination’ services. If you can’t afford her ‘month of’ services, make sure that you at least get her ‘day of’ services. I promise you that it will be 1000% worth it. Ask Soraya and she’ll explain to you why you need it. Also, she has a way of making things work.

    Soraya, thank you for making our wedding the best day/night of our life yet. You have an awesome team too!

    Best EVER!!!!

    Soraya and her team were so professional and kind and the food was AMAZING. She went above and beyond to make our day special and the food was the BEST wedding food ever (even though I'm biased!) We had the most unique passed apps and dinner. She catered to my dietary needs and created a personalized menu that everyone LOVED. Some of the food was vegan and even the hard-core meat-eaters loved it. Everyone was RAVING about how unique and delicious everything was. I can't recommend her enough!! Thank you Soraya!!

    Excellent Service

    We hired Soraya and her staff for both catering and coordinating. We had a wedding in the middle of a field on our family property and she helped the day run smoothly. As you can imagine it was a lot to develop a venue from scratch. Soraya made sure we had everything we needed which helped to relieve a lot of stress for us and our family. We have received so many complements on the food and the staff. I would highly recommend Soraya and her team to anyone. Thank you for everything Soraya! :)

    The best in the business!

    Soraya is amazing. I had to put a backyard wedding together in less than 3 months and she guided me the whole way, right up until the night before. She was flexible, accommodating and incredibly easy to work with. Her food and staff were exceptional. My daughter had the best wedding she could have had during such trying times and it would not have happened without Soraya. She clearly is the best in the business.

    Our backyard wedding Sept 12 was spectacular thanks to Soraya and staff. She took care of every detail from tent to silverware. Most of all the food was beyond compare and presented efficiently and safely. My guests raved about it

    Amazing!!!

    SYB was absolutely AMAZING! We had to change our big wedding plans to an intimate small backyard wedding due to COVID. With high risk parents on both sides, we were so concerned about having our wedding and bringing in outside vendors. Our new wedding plan was to have 10 people socially distanced in our backyard. Soraya made me feel so comfortable with her knowledge of food preparation, especially given her dedicated commitment to stay on top of guidelines around food prep during this time. Dinner was absolutely incredible!! Soraya knows what she’s doing and I would hire her for any event in the future and recommend her to everyone we know! She came out to our house, served us an amazing dinner, and I truly felt as though I was still having an incredible, elegant dinner from the comfort of my backyard! She’s fantastic!!! My now husband and I can’t thank her enough! She was not only professional but she was caring and accommodating in the best way possible!

    Excellent service, amazing food, 100/100 would recommend!

    We have nothing but amazing things to say about Soraya & her team. Our original wedding plans shifted due to the pandemic, Soraya was there throughout the entire thing, she reassured and guided us during the uncertain time of planning. I don't know how we would have done it without her. Once decided and allowed to move forward with the wedding, we felt incredibly comfortable knowing Soraya planned and ensured top safety during our event. Our wedding was an absolute dream, the SYB team is professional, friendly and all around amazing. The food and service was incredible and our guests had nothing but amazing things to say. Our wedding was a dream come true, and all in part to SYB!

    Exceptional Caterer!!!

    Soraya was excellent throughout the process. She worked with me on what I needed and was flexible on price for my limited budget. She went above and beyond what was expected. The moment I spoke with her, I could tell she was different. She stood out in a positive way from all the other caterers I spoke to. Would definitely use her services again. The food was oh so yummy too. Presentation was great too.

    Company event was a hit with SYB Catering

    SYB Catering & Bar Event Services catered an event for my office & they were absolutely amazing!! All of the staff were so friendly, made the event run so effortlessly. Soraya was so flexible & accommodating --- we had a last minute menu change & it was no problem at all! Her team took away all the stress of hosting the event. I will definitely use them again for our next event! Definitely recommend!

    Soraya was seriously the best! We got married in Holderness NH and lived in Vermont. She was THE BEST with communication. She was always responding right away to my million questions and coordinated a tasting for our parents in their own home in Boston! She was super flexible with our backyard BBQ requests and the food, (even traveling up to NH) was fresh, hot and great! Our wedding was super DIY and we had no extra help. Soraya brought another person to help clean up during the night and serve our guest's needs. She truly went over the top with helping our reception flow. She communicated with the DJ and made the timing of food and dessert perfect! She is also just super nice. (She even taught us how to properly cut the cake for a good pic!) I would totally recommend SYB planning!!

    I couldn't have wished for a better Caterer! Soraya and her team were professional and fun to work with. I had a million questions leading up to our event, and she was always available to answer my questions right away! I would highly recommend her for any event! I will certainly be using her again! Not to mention the food was amazing! Highly recommend!
