Renegade Outpost was the perfect catering choice for our wedding. From our first interaction, her communication was clear, helpful, and incredibly kind. Chef Ellen was so considerate throughout the entire planning process, going above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. The quality of her work was truly impeccable - the food they served was absolutely delicious, full of vibrant flavors that left our guests raving all night long. Chef Ellen is more than just a caterer, she was integral to helping us have the wedding of our dreams.

Emily's Catering Group is the best! Rick is an incredible chef and visionary for a good party! Our guests couldn't stop raving about the BLT station, cocktail hour spread, and the dinner itself. Several guests commented on how nice it was so have salads served immediately upon sitting down. These little details are what set ECG apart. Everything went so smoothly - from our initial call with Rick, to our tasting with our parents, and all of the communications in between with Cheryl - Emily's Catering Group is so professional and thorough.

Tailgate Gourmet Catering

  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Stratford, CT for additional fees

John passion is to serve the most flavorful and gourmet barbecue possible. His vast barbecue menu and ability to adapt to his client needs is unsurpassed. Tailgate Gourmet Catering remains one of Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire’s leading caterers, applauded for both its gracious service and mouthwatering take on barbecue.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

With more then 25 years experience we find that listening to every bride and or client describe what they want for their special day or event is what it takes to be successful. It's what you want not what we want. Creativity is a strong characteristic and I enjoy the final product. It's simple.
