We had an amazing experience with Food for Thought for our wedding at The Adler Planetarium. The tasting before the wedding and the food, drinks and service at our wedding were perfect. Our favorite thing about working with FFT though was having Diana as our day of coordinator. She went above and beyond what we expected of her and made everything at our wedding run so smoothly - from set up to vendor coordination to just explaining wedding basics to us and making us feel at ease during the months leading up to the day. I truly don’t know what we would’ve done without her. Thank you to Diana and the whole team at FFT for a truly perfect wedding day.

More Than Thoughtful Catering!
FFT served as the caterer for our daughter's wedding at Adler Planetarium. The food was excellent, the table setting was beautiful, and the service was impeccable. Their approach to the tasting was above and beyond providing all of us the ability to sample and see exactly what our guests would experience...making changes requested with grace and enthusiasm! Thank you for helping make the wedding such a wonderful experience for the bride and groom and all the guests!

Outstanding Catering Experience with Food For Thought at Loft Lucia!
We had an exceptional experience with Food For Thought at our wedding held at Loft Lucia. Their team knew the venue inside and out, which was a huge advantage for seamless setup and takedown. Everything ran smoothly, and their efficient teamwork was evident throughout the day.
The custom buffet menu we designed was a delightful mix of Asian and American cuisine, and Food For Thought executed it perfectly. From our initial tasting to the final presentation, they were incredibly receptive to our feedback, making adjustments that truly enhanced the flavors for our second tasting.
A special highlight was the condiments station we had set up, which allowed our guests to add their personal touch to their meals. It added an interactive and fun element that everyone enjoyed.
A big shoutout to John, who was with us throughout the entire process—from planning to tasting to execution. His dedication and attention to detail were instrumental in making everything come together flawlessly.
Food For Thought’s attention to detail, professionalism, and culinary expertise made our special day even more memorable. If you’re looking for a caterer who excels in both food and service, and who knows how to work seamlessly with your venue, we highly recommend Food For Thought!
