    Guests declared "best wedding food"

    This review is being written by the mother of the bride with collaboration from the bride and groom. Working with Tastings was a wonderful experience for us all. The quality and breadth of choices were terrific, as were the Tastings opportunities. Staff were responsive, patient, helpful, responsive and encouraging. All the items selected were a hit, special shout out to the passed appetizers and the short rib. Bar service was wonderful, really all staff were professional, courteous and kind. Food and bar presentation was excellent as well. We did not use a party planner so all of the communication was among the couple, myself and either Sue or Eileen. The walk through was so very helpful and we relied on their knowledge and experience. Down to the packing up of leftovers from the buffet, all was superb. Don't hesitate to use this caterer!

    The BEST Wedding Food!

    Best caterer hands down!! Sue and Eileen were great to work with and answered several questions over the course of many months. What made them stand out compared to other caterers was not only the quality of the food they cooked and served but all the extras they threw in. They worked with us on our budget, let us borrow centerpieces for the reception, made the best French almond cream cake from scratch AND served fresh chocolate chip cookies to our guests. They even went above and beyond and packaged all left overs for us to enjoy after our big day. Everyone raved about the beef short ribs and haddock. We were told by several guests that we had the best wedding food, which in my opinion is true! Tastings was also our bartender, which made keeping track of wedding vendors easier and costs down. Overall we are thrilled to have worked with Tastings and plan to use them again for other celebrations. If you’re still on the fence after reading this, go to one of their sampling dinners to try their food!

    Absolutely the BEST experience!

    Mother of the bride here...I cannot recommend Tasting Caterers enough! They were amazing through the entire process and responsive to every email I sent. They were great about my last minute linen changes and graciously managed 32 pints of custard and 500 homemade cookies that came from Wisconsin! The food was fabulous and our guests loved the meals. Their staff that managed the event were kind and professional and they did a wonderful job setting up the venue (tables, centerpieces, welcome sign, memory table..). The cake was delicious and they even made a small cake for the bride and groom to take home. We can't thank them enough for helping make the day magical!

    Tastings is the best!

    I really enjoyed working with Tastings for my wedding. The food is delicious and they coordinate with vendors for linens and glassware. They also do an incredible job with presentation. We used Tastings for our wedding cake too and it was delicious!

    Excellent food and great staff!

    We were looking for a caterer who could be flexible and create a custom menu that for our needs.
    Tastings was extremely professional and was able to offer options for every request that we had.

    Their staff on the wedding day was absolutely wonderful and they made our day so special!

    Best catering team ever!

    Sue and Eileen were the first vendor we hired, and they did not disappoint. They are professional, responsive, flexible, helpful, and kind. The food was also DELICOUS - we got compliments all night long from our guests. HIRE THEM you will not regret it!

    Tastings is a DREAM TEAM!

    We were over the moon with our experience with Tastings Caterers and could not recommend them enough. Sue, Eileen, and Amanda are a dream team!

    We were blown away by the delicious food, cake, and dessert. Our friends and family are still raving about the food they enjoyed on our special day. There were options for everyone, and they were so accommodating to all of our needs.

    Tastings was so organized and made for an "easy" day for all of us. We can't wait to use Tastings again for a future party/event!

    Amazing Caterer and Staff

    My wife and I chose Tastings as our caterer and it was definitely the right choice. From the beginning of our planning a year out, Tastings worked with us to select and fine tune our menu. They offer various group tastings events prior to your event so you can sample many of the food, drink, and desert items. Their selection of options is pretty fast and they can even customize the menu upon request. On top of that, Tastings does a significant amount of the setup on the day of the wedding and they really helped capture the vision and turn it into beautiful reality. The food taste itself was excellent, the signature drinks even better than our own trials, and above all impeccable service on the day of our event. Amanda even took some additional pictures of us and sent them to us afterwards. Amazing experience and would definitely recommend!

    Amazing Food/Easy to work with

    We hired Tastings to cater my daughters wedding this past August. They are incredibly organized and very accommodating to all requests. The food was incredible! Staff were responsible and conscientious. Highly recommend.

    Amazing!!!

    What if I told you I’m a die-hard fan of a catering company? I’m TELLING you - you NEED to book them for your wedding!! Where do I even begin? We reached out to Tastings after our venue recommended them. From the beginning they were easy to reach and made everything SO easy. My husband and I live out of state and couldn’t make it to a group tasting, so they invited us to a private one a few months later - at their house. WHAT?

    Sue (logistics goddess) and John (master chef) are the epitome of family business. They exceeded expectations and really made us feel special on our wedding day. It wasn’t easy planning a wedding remotely, but Tastings made it happen and made it as easy on us as possible. The whole team was professional and super nice.

    We did our full menu with them, including cocktail hour and dinner, plus some desserts (although they do make delicious cakes!). They also provided bartenders, facilitated linen rentals, did setup and cleanup, and even brought some decorations in case we wanted to use them (we did, they were beautiful).

    They are priced very reasonably, especially compared to some “wedding packages.” And (maybe most importantly), everything was absolutely delicious. Like, we added an extra course because of their ravioli. It’s that good. At the end of our wedding journey, we feel like we actually got to know the Zahners and their adult children who are also part of the team. I cannot recommend them highly enough!!!!

    Fantastic!!

    Tastings was incredible. They were great to work with, even when we couldn’t make any of the group tastings they held. Sue and Eileen were very responsive and day of, helped deal with unexpected issues (unrelated to catering). They went far above and beyond. Could not recommend more!

    Cannot recommend highly enough

    I cannot recommend Tastings highly enough - they were incredible and went above and beyond our expectations.

    Food: we were blown away by the selection of entrees and appetizers, all of which were incredible. The group tasting experience was a highlight - Tastings made the effort to seat couples from the same venue near each other and facilitated a lot of shared advice. I have been to ~20 weddings over the past two years and think this was the best food I have had (echoed by many guests)

    Experience: Sue and Eileen are incredibly organized and responsive and made it easy to put everything from schedule to decor in their hands. They have years of experience and very professional staff

    Value: Tastings was far and away the best food we have had (including from high budget, $200K+ weddings) but was priced extremely reasonably for a full-service, high-quality meal, especially relative to other popular Boston-area caterers

    Lovely people, amazing food

    We loved working with Tastings. They go above and beyond what a typical catering company provides. Prior to the wedding, we even had a private tasting at the owners' home. It was one of the coldest nights of the year, back in February, and the atmosphere was so warm and inviting. We had a wonderful time. They created a fantastic vegetarian menu for our wedding and our guests were raving about, even if the carnivores. Their curry mushroom strudel is one of the best things I've ever eaten. They even provided our cake and other desserts and did such a beautiful job decorating our cutting cake with absolutely no feedback from us (we really were not very concerned with that aspect of things) and oh my gosh was it amazingly good. A strawberry cream cake that our guests could not stop raving about. Our guests were apparently were encouraging each other in line to get extra pieces because of how good it was. Amazingly, they were also affordable. Our day of coordinator told us that they were one of the best catering teams she has ever worked with. We got so lucky with this catering company and we would highly recommend them to anyone. We're already discussing how to have a party large enough to justify hiring a caterer because we would love to work with them again.

    The best part of our wedding

    Fantastic services from the beginning to the end. Their quotes were very reasonable throughout the process, they were always helpful and flexible in every way, and above all, their food was phenomenal! All of our guests commented on how amazing the food was at our wedding. We never ever regret choosing Tastings Caterers for our big day. If we have another chance for catering, we would definitely choose them again.

    We absolutely loved working with Sue, Eileen, and the entire Tastings team! They are so kind, attentive, and professional. The food is truly excellent and they work so hard to make sure every detail is accounted for to make your wedding seamless. We are so grateful to them and their team for all their hard work, it was such a pleasure to have them cater our wedding!

    Fabulous Food, Incredible Service

    Tastings made our wedding at the Charles River Museum in Waltham MA come to life!! We had a great time and so many of our guests kept saying how delicious the food was and how smoothly things were run - Tastings also managed most of the decorations (including those we provided) and incorporated some of our favorite foods, drinks, and mocktails.

    Sue & Eileen are a pleasure to work with, very responsive, and easy to get along with. They also were very kind working with us so we could provide our own drinks and cake and even a few other desserts that they incorporated into their other catered food and displayed beautifully! Lastly, Tastings was so helpful with all the help with cleanup, it was a huge help to our family.

    The whole event was a great success, thank you Tastings for helping us celebrate this important moment in our lives!

    We spent about $14,000 (including a tip), and had plated meals, 5 or so stationary hors d'oeuvres at cocktail hour, and provided our own mocktail bar ingredients and dessert. I think it was a little pricier to do a charcuterie set-up, but it was totally worth it!

    So much more than a caterer!

    Wow, Tastings knocked it out of the park. From the first tasting we did with them, to one of the owners having us over to her home to talk details through to answering every single question I had, Tastings gave us the confidence that our food and bar service was going to be on point!
    The food was delicious! They have a variety to choose from and everything is very good! They offer bar service (alcohol not included) with awesome bar staff! They even allow you to borrow their décor! this in itself saved us 100s!!!! The catering manager works as a low key coordinator as well and helped set up all my DIY decor as well as pack everything up for us! They are so professional and genuinely NICE people. they've also been in this industry for decades and know how to run a tight and efficient ship. I highly recommend them!

    The absolute best!

    We had heard such amazing things about Tastings that we changed our wedding date to line up with their availability. We’re so glad we made that decision – we were blown away by their expertise and incredible food! From our private tasting to the collaboration on our menu, Sue and Eileen were such professionals. They were also very familiar with our venue and guided us on the event flow. We consulted Sue and Eileen on some last-minute layout changes, and they were so accommodating. We were thrilled with the level of customer service, and so many of our guests praised the food! Thank you to Tastings for helping us create such a memorable day and experience.

    100000 stars!!!

    Tastings was truly phenomenal in every way. My husband and I are so glad we chose Sue and her team to cater our wedding! We initially went to a tasting and were blown away just by our first passed app haha. Our guests said the same thing… months later they are STILL talking about how it was the best wedding food they ever had. The short ribs are a MUST and the lemon raspberry elderflower cake was unreal. The menu really felt like “us” and they were able to make it so affordable which was a huge help. Sue and her team were so much fun to work with and always professional- truly felt like family by the end of the whole experience. We are so thankful for them and will remember how perfect they made our night for years to come. Thank you guys!!!

    Reasonably priced catering that guests raved about

    We went to sample tastings for a few caterers and chose Tastings because they were the best at working with dietary restrictions: my husband has celiac, and we wanted a fully gluten-free meal. The fact that Tastings was so clear in labeling allergens at their tasting events made us confident they were the right caterer for us. Their prices are on the lower end for full-service caterers, which initially made us wonder if they'd be lower quality, but it turns out they're just affordable. All of the food was absolutely delicious, and our friends and family still talk about how great the short rib was regularly. The service they provided was also great. I especially appreciated that one of the owners brought a plate of appetizers out to my husband and me when we were doing our pictures after the ceremony so that we didn't miss out. All in all, I'd use Tastings over again and will be going to them if I ever need caterers again.

    Absolute perfection from beginning to end

    Our experience with Tastings was perfect from beginning to end. My partner and I had so much fun at one of Tasting’s “tasting” events that we decided to go to another after booking them for our wedding—a truly unique, fun and festive way to research our wedding food! Then, Sue and Eileen were incredibly responsive throughout the planning process, and helped us to design our absolute ideal menu (with plenty of vegetarian, gluten free, and nut free options for our guests with different dietary preferences). Food was one of our very top priorities and we could not have been happier with our dinner—truly one to remember. Throughout our wedding reception, not only did everyone comment on how incredible the food was, but also how lovely the service was. One guest even thought we had our extended family cater the event because they were so polite, friendly, and genuinely enjoying themselves. 11 out of 10 stars.

    Planner Recommended!!

    I have been in the industry for quite some time, and I can say that Tastings is hands down one of the best that I have worked with. It's such a delight to work with such warm professionals who are a joy to work with throughout the process & DELIVER on the day. Working with them, I am not worried about the hospitality, quality of staff, or how the food is going to taste.. reason being, it's going to be top notch on all fronts. Highly Recommend! - Patricia, Owner + Lead Designer, Prepped & Primped

    Start to finish, a wonderful experience

    From the very start, Tastings was nothing but a pleasure. Of all the vendors we got quotes from, they were the most affordable AND the only ones who had an opportunity for us to taste the food before committing to them and putting money down. They put on regular events at which you can try their food, drinks, and see their decor. This, combined with one phone call with Sue, made us sure Tastings was right for us.

    Throughout the process, everyone at Tastings was accommodating, responsive, and helpful. They took care of so many details and set my mind at ease. They brought TONS of additional decor for the bar and food areas that looked beautiful and matched our decor. They went around *during* the wedding asking about food restrictions and made custom dishes on the spot for some of our guests. Most importantly, the food was DELICIOUS. Friends still talk about it weeks later. I can't recommend Tastings highly enough, both in terms of the food and the service. They were one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Thank you so much, Sue, Eileen, and the Tastings staff!!

    Great food, service, and value - highly recommended!

    My husband and I worked with Tastings to cater our June wedding at Eustis Estate in Milton and we highly recommend them! They were incredibly helpful and accommodating during the planning process and their private and group tastings were a great way to sample lots of different dishes to get a sense of what we liked. It was amazing that they let us use some of their dinnerware, linens, and games at no extra cost to us whereas many of the other caterers we spoke with early on charged a huge premium for those items. As a family owned operation, we felt that their service was more personal and we appreciated the special touches, like getting sent home with a cake after our first tasting with them. Our wedding guests shared tons of compliments about the delicious meal and desserts and the friendly and professional service. We would absolutely choose Tastings again for future catering needs and we’re grateful that we found them!
