“This is the best wedding food I’ve ever had!"
“This is the best wedding food I’ve ever had!” - MANY seasoned wedding guests.
We are over the moon to have had the pleasure to work with Bread + Butter for our Portland, Maine wedding. Reviews from our guests (and ourselves) were unbelievable - “the best wedding food I’ve ever had” was the unanimous response. The Bread + Butter team were extremely easy and fun to work with, from the amazing tasting, to the communication before the wedding, to the wedding itself. The food was out of this world and there was nothing that they brought out that wasn’t delicious. They brought our vision of a wedding that felt more like a giant dinner party of all our closest friends and family to life with their fun, family style plating. We could not recommend Kelly, Emma, and the greater B+B team more! -

We’re so grateful that B+B was our food and bev vendor for our wedding day. They go above and beyond to make sure that your event is seamless. All our guests are still raving about the food - from the taste to the presentation. If you’re looking for a wedding vendor to truly make your day feel as special as possible, look no further than B+B. -

We don't even know where to start because the entire Bread & Butter team was THAT good! They really do know how to throw a party and we can't recommend them enough. The entire menu was absolutely incredible and all of our guests were raving about how delicious the food was. From the day that we hired them they were amazing to work with, incredibly communicative and professional. Renee was our day of coordinator and we are so grateful for her! She helped give us the wedding of our dreams by flawlessly executing our vision, and she was such a calming presence throughout the final weeks and days. They were worth every penny and we would hire them again in a heartbeat. -

The team at Bread & Butter is absolutely amazing! With the COVID pandemic, I had to completely re-plan my whole wedding. Bread & Butter were very accommodating and more than willing to make the necessary changes. They were so flexible to work with from our rental needs to our menu. The food was incredible and every bite was picture worthy. I had high expectations and they blew me away!. Even almost a month later, all our guests are still saying how we had the best food they have ever had a wedding. I can't wait to use Bread & Butter again in the future! Thank you guys so much for making our day extra perfect! -

A professional, quality, culinary experience!
The name Bread + Butter does not adequately capture the presentation, quality, craft, and service that the fine people of Bread + Butter Catering provide. We started our wedding caterer search almost two years ago with a clear idea of what we wanted, and an unclear vision of how best to execute. Emma was the first person to not only listen to our concepts, but the first to internalize and improve upon them. She was responsive, professional, and always gave us options or reasonable suggestions as to why we would offer one dish over another or serve in a particular way. She helped us build a wedding menu that completely fulfilled our vision and provided our guests with all their dietary, flavor, and nutritional needs.
Closer to the big day I began working with Kelly on rentals and final adjustments. Kelly coordinated the entire process, finding the right vendor and support for our needs, while keeping such issues off of our plate during those last busy days before the wedding.
On the day of the wedding, the staff of B+B blew us away with their presentation, efficiency, and attention to detail. The venue ownership and staff, in addition to our guests, remarked continuously on- site and after the wedding about the excellent staff and the exceptional food. Of particular note was the addition of the Pu-Pu platter as our late-night snack, which earned rave reviews immediately. Our venue and our photographers were so impressed that they rapidly shared the food and layout on their Instagram pages. At the end of the night, the staff cleanly packaged all our leftovers, which allowed us to eat like royalty for another week.
For a reasonable fee, B+B also handled all of our dessert operations, which were provided by another vendor. They supplemented our own serving dishes to create a beautiful display. After the event, and even after all payments had gone out, the staff still went above and beyond to help us locate, identify and return a lost cooler. You really can’t ask for a higher level of service!
In summary, Bread + Butter Catering is a professional, quality, culinary experience with extremely attentive and personal staff, and we cannot recommend them highly enough. -

Nicole Sent on 09/28/2019Great Experience
Loved everything about this company. From our first emails to the tasting, they were so excited about our special day (even though they have so many people's special day, when emailing with them they made it seem like ours was the top on the list, so thank you!). Food was excellent, as was presentation-we got a lot of compliments from our friends and family. It was so nice having a different menu for a wedding reception-we had tacos, sliders, a salad bar with tons of fixings for it-made it very unique, and our guests did not go home hungry! Different flavored popcorn at the end of the night, I just wish I had some of it! We also had our day-of coordinator through Bread and Butter, which worked out so much better than hiring an outside person-they all work together and it worked out so nicely. Price was all inclusive of the day of coordinator, tips and all-which made it very easy for billing. Thank you! -

Both being the huge foodies that we are, my husband and I were so unbelievably grateful and honored to have the opportunity of working with the rightfully high-praised Bread & Butter Catering Company for our wedding.
We researched all recommendations we received, both word of mouth and well published, and when we came across Bread & Butter’s culinary artistry, vast selection, originality, and the attention to detail, we could tell we had stumbled upon the ULTIMATE choice for a caterer, and sure enough they absolutely amazed everyone in attendance, and in every way possible.
We honestly can’t say enough great things about how phenomenal the food was, and to this day we have friends and family talk about it and tell us that it was literally the best food they’ve ever experienced at an event, let alone a wedding, and that went for the service, as well.
There wasn’t anything they weren’t able to customize for us, and from the extraordinary culinary excellence, level of quality, the fresh and local ingredients, everything was just beyond words.
Between the phenomenal and intimate food tasting they created, the opportunity of working with them throughout the whole process, and us just getting to know them, it was truly the best experience possible. It was like working with our best friends, and having the bonus of them creating the best culinary and overall experience we could have ever asked for.
In the months, weeks, and days leading up to the wedding the team was beyond helpful, competent, accommodating, and absolutely incredible in every way possible, so we ended up additionally hiring them as our day of coordinators, and it was the best decision on top of a better decision we could have made. We honestly don’t have words to express our level of deep gratitude and appreciation for the way they facilitated our wedding and allowing it all to go off with out a hitch, well there was at least one hitch, us.
It truly was the best decision to work with them and because of that choice we will forever remember our wedding as being one of the best times of our lives, and our guest lives, no joke! To anybody who is considering them as a caterer or day of coordinator, do not miss the opportunity. They were hands-down one of the hugest reasons why we and our guests had the time of their lives. -
Sofija Sent on 10/17/2017I think my mom said it best, a month after the wedding, when she said "my favorite thing about the caterer... was that everything was perfect." It's true – every single detail from Bread & Butter was beyond anything I could have imagined. They were a dream to work with. Kelly, Katie, and Ehren were helpful, creative, and the nicest group of people we could have ever asked for to help us with our wedding day. From the initial planning stages to the final menu decisions, the whole team was helpful in answering all of my questions quickly and thoroughly.
The day of the wedding everything went off without a hitch. Everyone was professional (and so, so kind), our day-of planner knew what we needed before we did, and the food was incredible. I was afraid I would run into the issue I hear so often from brides of how they didn't get to eat... it was not so with B&B. They delivered plates of appetizers and the main course (tacos!) to our table, and we stuffed ourselves. The presentation was also stunning – they really thought of every detail for the appetizers, main course, dessert, and bar set-up.
Another reviewer said it perfectly – if you're planning a wedding in the Portland area, you'd be missing out by not having Bread & Butter cater your day. -

Kelsey Sent on 02/11/2018Thank goodness we found Kelly and the Bread & Butter crew to cater our wedding. We also arranged to have Kelly as our day of coordinator, which was the best wedding decision we made. She is AMAZING and went way above and beyond. From the beginning they accommodated our many requests, provided creative ideas, and were very responsive. Many of our guests agreed that the food was some of the best they've had, and the presentation was exactly in line with the feel of our event. B&B even sourced fresh seaweed from the beach as the bed for the raw bar. Highly recommend!!

User2294354 Sent on 08/31/2015Unbelievable staff. Kelly, Katie, and Josh ROCKED and are truly unbelievable humans. Kind, funny, and real. The staff the day of the wedding was sweet, professional, and FUN.
Delicious, foodie-style food- exactly what my man and I were looking for being total food lovers in Portland. Guests will literally not stop talking about our charcutière board during our cocktail hour - a feast of everything you could ever want to eat at cocktail hour, displayed on a 6ft old Maine State Prison door, which just added to the amazing charm and warehousey feel of our venue, the Portland Company. Fish tacos, sliders, salads, "stuff on sticks" for dinner- addictive truffle butter with bread and family style salads to kick off the meal - our guests were so happy with everything (and of course so were me and my hubs!) Their presentation is unparalleled with cute paper bag signage describing each item- everything they do is BEAUTIFUL and thoughtful.
Renee Landry, their in-house dessert expert, made us a beautiful little naked cake (with very little direction from me, mind you!) and it was truly a vision. She also whipped up delicious whoopie pies which were such a hit. If you use Bread&Butter definitely use Renee/Landry's Confections for your cake/desserts- she has such a variety of items and is a total gem.
Highly recommend. Don't think. Just do. -
User2157125 Sent on 06/01/2015From start to finish, this company delivers. They have incredible attention to detail and know how to throw a great party. I didn't worry about a thing when the day of my wedding came - they offered day-of coordination services, and it is well worth it. And while they didn't plan my wedding, they were with me every step of the way, allowing me to bounce ideas off of them and tap into their expertise. And their food! It's incredible - almost everything is made in-house, and what isn't is sourced locally when possible. Katie and Kelly were super flexible and offered to try a pasta station at our request. It was delicious. Their baker, Renee of Landry Confections, is also very detail-oriented and she loves sweets. If you are a foodie, and you want to throw an epic party, you will love this company.
