BEST experience with Snuffins!

My husband and I had the BEST experience with Snuffins for our wedding! We worked with Austin for nearly 1.5 years before our date, and she was exceptionally helpful, organized, and responsive. Austin helped us to create our own menu and pick beautiful place settings that would fit within our budget, and we could not have been happier with how everything turned out! Guests are still talking about the food from our reception - everything was just perfect. Snuffins coordinated with our venue seamlessly during the planning process, and we were so impressed with their attentiveness to detail and expertise. Snuffins also handled various aspects of setup and cleanup, the transitions between appetizers/dinner/dessert were so smooth, and all the staff members were incredibly helpful and professional! My husband and I also loved the basket of food Snuffins sent us off with - it included samples of each dish and dessert that we had served at the reception! Such a special and thoughtful detail! I cannot say enough good things, and we highly recommend Snuffins!!

Amazing wedding vendor!

Michael and the rest of the team at Snuffin’s was amazing to work with. When we first contacted them, Michael was great about giving a detailed explanation of how they operated, the options they provide, and the cost and breakdown associated with each option. He was very responsive to communicate (both email and phone) and when he wasn’t available, another member of the team was able to answer questions on his behalf and let us know when he’d be back. They provided a complementary tasting which was delicious and put our mind at ease and were able to make recommendations and adjust to the customization requests we made. We had last minute requests the week leading up to the wedding day and they were able to accommodate that well. As a bonus, Michael is a sommelier and gave guidance on wine pairings and amount to buy and advised us where to buy the wines from!
We ended up going with the bacon tots and crab cakes for appetizers, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, green beans and seasonal salad for sides, along with roast beef and basil glazed salmon for the main. On the day of, the execution of the buffet style dinner was seamless, and they even served plated meals for the bride and groom. The touches for the presentation of the menu, table and wine bar set up reflected the attention to details and gave us and our guests a wonderful experience. At the end of the night, they even packed a picnic basket with all the food along with wrapping all the leftovers so we could easily take it with us. Overall, we can’t recommend Snuffin’s highly enough as they provided a stress-free planning process and impeccable execution for our special day!
