John and his team are not just caterers, they are a whole experience. It is clear from the initial communication with Tailgate Gourmet that they are here to cook and serve you high-end, thoughtful meals AND to be a part of your wedding's atmosphere. We were sold just stepping into John's tasting kitchen; his team were there to provide not just a taste of the catering options, but the personality and level of service you could expect as part of your day. It's clear that John is a master of his craft and cares deeply about his menu offerings; he delivered diverse, delicious dishes, worked within our budget, and ensured that our guests with dietary and mobility restrictions had just as wonderful an experience as everyone else. We loved that Tailgate Gourmet is a self-contained operation, which worked perfectly for our outdoor wedding on a private property that didn't have infrastructure for a professional on-site kitchen setup. The team quickly assessed and adapted to the space we had available, and left no trace they'd even been there by the end of the night. Our guests (who are not shy about sharing feedback) let us know this was the "best wedding food EVER" and that the tenderloin and Mediterranean planked salmon were more delicious and well-prepared than any restaurant dish they've had in the past. If your priority is providing your guests with a darned good meal-- don't hesitate!

SYB Catering & Bar Services 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
  • Starts at $4,999
  • Serves Bristol, RI

Your multicultural catering experts! We take pride in providing exceptional service and incredible cuisine from around the world! Our authentic multicultural offerings set us apart, allowing couples the freedom to fuse different cultural cuisines to create a unique and personalized experience for their guests. Couples from different backgrounds can now share both of their cultures through one catering company.

About 5-6 months before our wedding, our original caterer re-quoted our pricing that I had signed over a year ago and it had increased by almost 15k! I was so distraught and stressed, as you can imagine. Luckily I found Soraya through a Facebook wedding group after I had asked for a second opinion. SHE SAVED MY WEDDING DAY. My husband and I are Cambodian and Chinese and trying to find any upscale asian caterer in the NorthShore was darn near impossible. I had my heart set on an upscale multi-course asian banquet menu. We ended up with 10 courses! Soraya made it happen and all the food was made on site at our venue in Peabody (the Olio). Our guests could not stop raving about how delicious everything was! To think I almost went with drop catering as I thought that was my only option. Thank goodness I found Soraya! As anyone who has ever thrown a big event knows, the food will make or break an event. And Soraya's food MADE our wedding a huge success. Soraya made sure fried foods were crispy, hot foods were HOT, and each table service was flawlessly delivered. Even our foodie families were happy with the food and were so surprised at how authentic everything tasted. We had menu items that were Chinese and Cambodian. I would hire Soraya and her team again, and again, and again. She kept me at ease and made sure everything was flawlessly executed. THANK YOU again for everything Soraya. You have mine and my families deepest appreciation.

I don't have enough words to express how incredible, amazing, joy-filled, and phenomenal my event was, thanks to Noire Chef Boston. The team's care and attention to detail transformed a lunch for people I adore into an unforgettable and delicious meal that we still talk about more than two years later. What started out as a pre-holiday afternoon meal turned into a moment of renewal, connection, fellowship, and delight. This is the powerful alchemy that Noire Chef unlocks each and every time. Of course, the food is extraordinary but it is the team's love, passion and comprehensive vision that make each meal a dream come to life that you will remember forever. I remain in awe.

Smoke And Pickles Catering Company 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
  • Starts at $62
  • Serves Bristol, RI

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!

Their work was truly phenomenal - the food they served was delicious and the custom cocktails they crafted for us were amazing. There were no issues or delays on the day of the wedding, and they arrived on time and executed everything flawlessly. The Smoking Bar's prices were also very affordable, making them an incredible value.

Island Girl Catering gave us exactly what we were looking for! I wanted a wedding menu that was food that we were excited to eat and excited to share with our friends and families. We tried to infuse who we are as a couple in all the aspects of our wedding and Genevieve really helped us have a menu that felt like us. It was also delicious! It was great to see our guests going back for seconds and they were still raving about it the next day. She was also so helpful through the planning process.
