Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)

Fitzgerald's Fine Catering Since 1948, the name in catering synonymous with style and elegance. We provide a menu to excite your palate, experienced personnel, polished silver, china, rich linens and elegant serving accessories. Serving the families of Connecticut with experience for 70 years.

Many, many thanks to Nick and his whole team who really are a one-stop shop for the ideal and stress free wedding. So professional, servers were quick and friendly, and he is just a generally nice guy to work with. Very flexible and laid back. They provided so much between the service and the linens and easy bar package. Everyone raved and continues to rave about the food, especially the salmon and passed appetizers. We couldn’t have had the day we had without them!

ONTHEMARC Events 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
  • Serves Darien, CT

ONTHEMARC is a contemporary, full-service caterer with extensive experience in off-site catered events. The culinary experience is at the heart of everything we do. We handle every detail to bring your vision to life —from custom menus and logistics to staffing and artful presentation—creating an event where you and your guests feel truly celebrated.

As soon as we visited On the Marc for our food tasting, we knew that the food would be fantastic—and more on that in a minute—but OTM really set itself apart with the service. They greeted our guests with flavored waters when they arrived (hugely helpful for a mid-summer wedding), had servers ready with drinks and food as soon as cocktail hour started, prepared an appetizer platter for a quick private moment as newlyweds, and much much more. A few things stick out over all though: first, the servers were so attentive that they realized a friend of mine was absolutely smashing one of the appetizers and kept bringing those to her (even learning to take the mint leaf off as she did). Second, they rolled with the punches as we realized we may have screwed up some food placards, accommodating our request to check with each guest to make sure we had it right. Third, they had servers march out all at the same time to bring courses during dinner services, a super-professional touch which gave the service a white-glove-service feel. The food was delicious, and everyone kept commenting on it (even on the dance floor where they brought desserts!!). Overall, the food was amazing, the only thing better than the food was the service, and we highly recommend OTM to anyone considering them!

Chef Ellen is truly one of a kind! We couldn’t be happier with our choice to use Renegade Outpost at our wedding this past September! Chef Ellen is amazing and truly cares about the entire event going well, not just the food. We thought we were throwing a curveball with our unique cocktail-style reception… 4 hours of continuous passed apps, grazing tables, and more. But Chef Ellen made it all look easy. She came to walkthroughs at our venue and helped us create the perfect custom menu for our day. She also had so many ideas to help us make the most of the space, ensure a good flow of the party, and more. Ellen’s prices are very fair and she will work within your budget. The passed apps were unreal (our guests are still raving about them) and the grazing table was absolutely gorgeous and constantly stocked. The whole team, from the cooks to the servers, was amazing: fast, friendly, and organized. If you’re looking for a caterer who can create a unique and delicious menu while bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience (Michelin-star experience, to boot!), we highly recommend Renegade Outpost. Chef Ellen helped make our day unforgettable!

We recently attended a tasting with John while planning the celebration a month following our wedding. Initially, we had envisioned a simple, casual BBQ for our guests. However, after experiencing John’s cooking, we quickly realized that what he creates is anything but simple. Each dish had incredible depth of flavor and thoughtful preparation, taking familiar BBQ favorites and elevating them into something truly special. The food felt both comforting and refined—exactly the kind of meal that will make our celebration feel memorable for everyone attending. John and Julie were also wonderful to work with throughout the tasting—passionate, attentive, and clearly dedicated to his customers After tasting his food, we are even more excited for our celebration and feel so lucky that he will be preparing our celebratory meal. We can’t wait for our guests to experience it.

We could not have been happier with our experience with Shale Hill Events. My husband and I were fairly clueless at the start and Brianne immediately put us at ease and helped us plan out our wedding day, ensuring zero stress and a wonderful day. Brianne met with us several times to discuss food, timing, what she amd her team would need from our venue, and was very helpful working within our budget. On our wedding day, we didn't have to worry about a thing. Brianne and her staff set up everything wonderfully and our guests absolutely loved the staff. The food was truly incredible!! I had multiple guests tell me it was the best food they ever had at a wedding, and we could not agree more! From the passed hors d-oeuvres all the way to the late night bites, the food was melt-in-your mouth delicious and we were so happy with how everything turned out. If you want amazing food, incredible service, and a stress-free day, I cannot recommended Brianne and the staff of Shale Hill Events highly enough!!

Sunflowers Event Planning, Inc 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Serves Darien, CT for additional fees

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. When the clients are happy I know we were to their expectations and that's all that matters at the end of the day.

Laura and her catering team did an absolutely incredible job for our wedding and they do so much more than just catering! From the very beginning, she went above and beyond. We had various phone calls in advance to be sure everything would run smoothly. I needed all the help I could get, and she was able to give advice and share her expertise with every aspect of the wedding. Not only did she help us stay organized for months, double-checking invoices and quantities along the way, but she also graciously prepared a special family recipe for the wedding dinner that meant so much to us. The food was absolutely incredible, her lobster rolls are a MUST HAVE. Guests have continued to bring them up weeks after the wedding. Laura’s staff during the wedding day were extremely professional to all guests. They made sure both myself and the groom had full dinner plates while we talked to guests, which was an amazing surprise. Her attention to detail, kindness, and professionalism made our day unforgettable, and we’re so grateful to have had her be a part of it from the beginning.
