Tailgate Gourmet was wonderful from the first exchanged email, to the last plate was cleared! The owner, John, and his team truly exceeded all expectations. They are informative, educated, and friendly. John's experience reflects in his dish pairings and suggests for scheduling, and his staffs' skillfulness reflected in their work and presentation. The lead crew member on site as our wedding, Julie, was incredible, scanning the crowd for me to bring by husband and I snacks directly amidst formal photos and mingling. The tasting was well thought out and professional. The menu selections are vast and customizable to your needs, while also being reasonably priced. The option to have our menu cooked to order on charcoal grills right beside our tent in live-action was superior; there were no soggy reheated trays of food, the meat timings were perfect, no limitations due to not having cooking equipment as with some catering. Our guests are still raving over the food, and I think about placing a smaller-scale order at least once a month! Many couples say they didn't get to eat their dinner as they were too busy - we MADE SURE we ate our whole plates full. Just thinking back on our prime rib, mac and cheese, bacon-wrapped scallops - I'm starving for more! If you want a catering company that doesn't blow smoke, feels like an extension of your wedding immediately upon meeting, is mindful of allergies and ingredients, with enthusiasm and pride in their team, don't shop around, just do it!

Keane's Wood-Fired Catering 

5.0

  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Needham, MA

Keane’s Wood-Fired Catering (originally named Boru Barbecue and Catering), was founded in 2016 by husband and wife, Padraic and Kaylyn Keane. They have brought together their love of wood-fired barbeque with fermentation and locally sourced products.

I don't even know where to begin - our wedding wouldn't have been the AMAZING event it was without Keane's! We will be forever grateful for their hard-working staff, delicious food/bar services, and of course KYM! Kym was my main point of contact from the beginning of my wedding planning - every single thought/question I threw her way, she had a helpful answer that was prompt and kind. We ended up having Kym add on service as a day of coordinator - and my family is still talking about how much of a rockstar she was. All of my guests that I interacted with that day, and now after, have commented on how lovely all of the catering staff was, and how truly great the food was. I am dreaming about the brisket meatballs, bluefish crostini and mac and cheese. I also had a guest who told me the bar staff made the best margarita they have ever had! We seriously cannot thank this team enough, and I just hope that I am lucky enough to go to another event that they are a part of. I wish I had photos to share of the amazing food, but just know that you will not be disappointed! THANK YOU!!!

Jodi knows catering for party events. For out 50th weddine menu. She had walk-around appetizers, a buffet that was to die for. The 65 or so who came commented on how good the food was. She doctored a lime punch that we had at our original wedding into a less sweet, amazing drink. Her professional help were excellent. I am very happy to recommend Jodi as a soup to nuts (nuts was ice cream and soup was avocado gazpacho). Totally recommend her.

Smoke And Pickles Catering Company 

5.0

  • Serves Needham, MA
  • Offer

We bring you a wood fire to roast, grill, bbq or smoke a feast. We offer over 30 kinds of tangy, fresh pickles, relishes and salsas for contrast. We track down all the freshest ingredients from local farms and fishing boats.

I have known Smoke and Pickles since 2015, when I began working for them as a cater waiter. Fast forward 9 wedding seasons and I now have the pleasure of working alongside them as a fellow wedding vendor. I am a wedding planner who has had the privilege of knowing this professional, whimsical and knowledgeable company inside and out. First there’s the food, because if you’re looking for a cater that’s a very important component. But they are not a one size fits all kind of caterer. Their food is thoughtfully and locally sourced, and uniquely prepared — which you will immediately know when you see the smoker pull up and taste their house made pickles or sauces. The menu offerings are fresh, seasonal and can be made allergen friendly. It should be noted that much of the magic happens before your big day even approaches. Whether it’s your custom menu curation, assistance with rentals or securing a tent, Smoke & Pickle’s goes above and beyond.

From my very first conversation with Chef Lemaire from Sensory Delights, I knew that they were the perfect vendors for our wedding. Sensory Delights offers a very creative menu and with very fair pricing. The whole team is highly professional; and they have a very thorough system in place to ensure a quality service. As the day approached, Neima was very helpful. She communicated with my wedding planner and also helped us tremendously the day of. As I was getting ready to walk down the aisles, Neima was helping with my dress as I was getting down the stairs. My husband and I chose the plated dinner and Let me tell you, that exceeded our expectations! Our guests kept calling after the wedding to compliment me as they were impressed with the food and services from the servers. One of the main highlights is how they made sure that my bridal party ate during the cocktails hour after the ceremony while taking our pictures. At the end of the night, they had boxed food for my husband and me for the next day. My wedding planner told me how they went the extra mile to make sure that they delivered. They exceeded our expectations. I cannot wait to work with them in the future. Thank you, Sensory Delights. You have gained a lifetime customer. Rose & Deldy
