Smoke And Pickles Catering Company 

5.0

  • Serves Rochester, 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.

From day one, our experience with Smoke & Pickles, and more specifically, with Sally, was nothing but enjoyable. In search of “not your typical wedding fare,” my husband initially suggested we check them out, and after comparing their offerings to several other farm-to-table catering companies in the area, they were the frontrunner by far. As others have commented as well, Sally truly embraces her role and became such an invaluable member of our wedding planning team – we could not have done it without her. The food was fantastic, and many of our guests are still raving about it four months later. Thank you all for bringing such delicacy to our special day!

RGKkitchen 

5.0

  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Rochester, MA

We are Stephen and Rae! We met as teenagers in 2007 and married in 2012. We originally started college together in PA when Stephen encouraged me to pursue me passion in cooking. We moved to MA for me to attend Le Cordon Bleu while Stephen studied law. We settled here permanently after graduation. In 2020 I started RGKkitchen. Working together came naturally and quickly took off. Our most popular areas are Cape Cod, Boston, Newport/Middletown, & Narragansett. We service all of RI, the MA coast, and down to Mystic, CT. We typically travel within 80 miles of 02748 but do go further for some events. We're happy to accommodate if we can!

Working with Rae, Stephen and their team was so much fun from start to finish. We had a wonderful tasting where they made us feel right at home (fell in *love* with the food) and then did everything they could do to make our day perfect. We had a LOT of pivots to make (hellllllo, rainy day) and they both handled everything flawlessly and went above & beyond with everything. We would work with them again and again, truly great people and very, very talented. Our guests loved everything and couldn't say enough good things. You will absolutely not regret working with these guys – we felt so grateful to have linked with them!

We had the pleasure of attending a tasting last night with John, Julie, Cathy and Gerard. From start to finish they were hospitable, fun, attentive and knowledgeable in everything that John has to offer. The food- AMAZING. There was so much flavor for every single item we tried. They answered all of our questions but also walked us through what’s included and all of our options. It was an exciting environment and the staff's personalities flowed perfectly with our family. My fiancé and I ended up booking John’s catering service before even leaving the kitchen. We are SO excited to have Tailgate Gourmet at our wedding. John offers such a unique experience with far beyond reasonable prices. If you’re on the fence, don’t be! Book him! John is so kind and hilarious!

Keane's Wood-Fired Catering 

5.0

  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Rochester, 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!!!

  • Serves Rochester, MA

Jodi catered our wedding reception at the Arlington Town Hall in June 2023. Through all the planning, she made great recommendations for both the food and entire layout. For starters, she created a delicious menu accommodating over a dozen allergies. The dessert pies that she recommended from a local bakery were amazing. Jodi was very easy to work with. She gave good advice on the floor plans and was very patient with us when we made multiple changes to the seating arrangement and table sizes. Her team setup our DIY decorations and made the reception hall beautiful. And the staff were a delight to work with. Among the lovely reception, and our guests enjoying the meals, did we enjoy the food on our wedding day? Of course not! Why? Because you don’t eat on your wedding day. Instead, they packed our leftover meal, our cake, and some drinks for us to enjoy after the wedding. Jodi has our highest recommendation.

We couldn't have been happier with the catering service for our cocktail hour, and we owe a huge thank you to our incredible caterer. They truly exceeded our expectations in every way. The charcuterie table was a highlight of the evening. It was beautifully presented and offered a delightful array of options that catered to all tastes. From artisanal cheeses and cured meats to fresh fruits and delicious accompaniments, every item was of the highest quality and absolutely delicious. Our guests were raving about the selection and presentation! One of the things that impressed us most was their flexibility and willingness to work within our budget. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but our caterer made the process so much easier by being attentive to our needs and offering creative solutions that didn't compromise on quality. Their pricing was very reasonable, and they provided exceptional value for the service they delivered. Communication was seamless from start to finish. They were responsive, professional, and genuinely invested in making our cocktail hour perfect. Their ability to accommodate our requests and customize the menu to our preferences made a huge difference. We felt truly supported and confident in their hands. On the day of the wedding, the execution was flawless. The charcuterie table was not only a feast for the eyes but also a culinary delight that our guests thoroughly enjoyed. We are so grateful for the outstanding service and delicious offerings provided by our caterer. They played a significant role in making our wedding day unforgettable.
