Sample catered weddings

Gretchen and Zach met in the Caribbean, and wanted to include some island vibes in their wedding reception menu and decor choices. They also wanted other vegetarian food that would work with Caribbean flavors. So we curated a cohesive menu featuring Puerto Rican, South Asian and East Asian food, with extensive vegan and gluten-free options!

    My husband and I hired Upohar for our September wedding, and they were fantastic! We opted for their food truck, selecting 3 different entrees, and 3 different appetizers. We specifically picked Upohar because of the variety of cuisine they offer. We were able to curate such a unique menu--a red Thai curry with tofu, a Greek Pastitsio & a Moroccan chicken shawarma. Our guests loved the options. The Upohar team was also great to work with-communicative, professional, friendly. We highly recommend them!

    We were able to coordinate with Upohar when we lived in Türkiye for a wedding in Lancaster, and everything was fabulous! Incredible customer service, food, and site presence. Being teachers and trying to stay on a budget, we did find it slightly out of our price range- That being said, we would 100% book them again. The koshari was the best! Thanks everyone!

    Upohar has it all! Incredibly tasty and flavorful food, beautiful colors and textures that add to your decor and design, great staff that make sure you’ve thought through every detail of food and drink for your day, and supporting an important local business that allows international cooks to show off and get paid for their craft ! We did a drop off - their simpliest service - and even still, they helped us think through and plan for everything we needed. They were extremely thorough and went up and above our to ensure our day ran smoothly and without any involvement from us, the couple. We really wanted to personalize our wedding with food that we actually eat when we go out and they gave us just that and so much more! Couldn’t recommend more highly!

  • Mediterranean Buffet from Upohar

    We had our small wedding celebration catered by Upohar in June, and I wholeheartedly recommend them! We were looking for a vegan/veg caterer which is hard to come by in the area, and we're so glad we found Upohar! We had a delicious Mediterranean buffet meal and our guests loved it! Stephanie and Josiah were so lovely to work with; patient, kind, good-natured. They made our meal a breeze. They even sent us a wedding gift and a sweet card. Our experience with Upohar was fantastic. Thank you!
