Crisp did an amazing job at my daughter’s wedding reception! We chose the tacos, chips/salsa, and the dessert bars. We had a ton of compliments on how good the food was and how nice everything looked. Crisp was super easy to work with, and I didn’t have to worry about a thing while at the reception. Would definitely recommend.

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.

Jeffrey A. Miller Hospitality Group

Philadelphia, PA
  • Starts at $140

At Jeffrey A. Miller, we create catered events that perfectly blend innovative cuisine and extraordinary hospitality in unforgettable settings. We make delicious, delightful food entirely by hand and serve your guests with heartfelt hospitality. And whether it’s a wedding or a corporate gala, our events bring revenue and recognition to support the worthwhile missions of our many partner venues.

I'm getting married 11/2 at the American Swedish Historical Museum, a JAM venue. I know the wedding itself will be the real test, but so far working with JAM has been a great experience and I am sure the wedding will be just as smooth and delicious. From the beginning, I have found everyone with whom I've spoken at JAM to be extremely responsive, accommodating, and pleasant. Every addition I've wanted to make, even if not in the packet of upgrades, has been immediately priced out (at a reasonable rate!) and accommodated. Every email I've sent has been responded to extremely quickly and thoroughly. Every dish I tried at the tasting in January was delicious and I'm so excited for the menu, which we picked from a ton of interesting and creative options. It was so hard to choose. I'm writing now because I will probably forget to review after my wedding and honeymoon, but at this point, we are under 6months out and still extremely happy that we chose to go with JAM. Bonus points for me- a friend of mine went to a JAM-catered wedding last year and raved about the food. And a restaurant owner friend of my parents told me "you can't go wrong with Jeffrey A Miller."

Every dish came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about it. Multiple people told us it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had (which says a lot!). Beyond the food, the entire team was incredible, especially Mary the event manager who quarterbacked the planning so ably. Everything ran so smoothly, the service was on point, and they handled all the behind-the-scenes details so we didn’t have to think about a thing. If you’re even considering Odeen’s, just do it.

The setup was beautiful, the service was smooth, and every guest kept coming up to us asking “Who is the caterer? This food is amazing!” And the food… WOW. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and perfectly prepared. You can tell this isn’t just catering, it’s passion and experience behind every dish. And we have to talk about the mac and cheese. It is absolutely top notch. We kept hearing people rave about it in reviews and now we understand why. It’s creamy, flavorful, and easily one of the best mac and cheeses we’ve ever had. We loved it so much that we actually ordered an extra pan to freeze so we could have it when we get back from our honeymoon.... it’s seriously that good. What stood out the most was how much pride they take in what they do. They don’t just show up and serve food, they create an experience that your guests will remember. The best experience was truly a Yae’s experience. If you want delicious food, professional service, and a team that genuinely cares about your event, book them immediately. You will not regret it.

    I have a passion for hospitality, outstanding service, and changing the reputation of wedding food... it can be memorable and delicious! I have spent over 20 years in gourmet kitchens across the world. When I came to Texas in 2009 I fell in love with Southern cuisine. After many years in luxury hotels across DFW, in 2016 I created Tex-Med cuisine (modern Mediterranean with a Texan twist) which combines the food of my homeland with the flavors of Texas. My wife, Stephanie, and I opened Ferah Tex-Med Kitchen in 2019 and began offering catering services shortly after.

    Awarded Best of Zola
    Ferah Catering & Events provided exceptional service for our wedding day. Stephanie & Chef Burak was a delight to work with - professional, responsive, and attentive to all our needs. Chef Burak went above and beyond, customizing a fusion menu that artfully incorporated both my husband's African American heritage and my Vietnamese background. He also thoughtfully created special meals for our young guests and vegan friends. The food was simply sublime - 5-star dining with exquisite, fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. Stephanie and Chef Burak made sure we were well-fed and cared for throughout the celebrations - from cocktail hour bites delivered to our bridal suite, to perfectly plated dinner courses for the bride & groom (we hosted a buffet style) to keeping our drinks refreshed. They also offered cake cutting services and toile care of cleaning up after dinner. We had plenty of left overs that was delicious the day after. Our guests made sure to tell us “this is the best wedding food we’ve had in a while!” We couldn't recommend Ferah more highly for making our wedding meal so special and memorable.

        Thanks to Tracy & George and their staffing team, our wedding day was far beyond what we ever dreamt of!!!! I will rewind back to when I first emailed Tracy about our wedding catering inquiry. She was super responsive and able to get us in for a tasting ASAP. We instantly were drawn to Platinum Party Planners because they offered a variety of catering packages and we were able to pick one that suited our budget. A lot of other caterers were firm with their pricing which is stressful! During the food tasting, Tracy sat with us to discuss our wedding day vision and took thorough notes while George cooked & served us the food. Because I did not have a "day of" planner to setup all my DIYs/decor, she said not to worry and her team would handle it (ummm AMAZING!!!!!!). At the tasting, we were blown away not only by the taste of everything, but the gorgeous plating! Everything was absolutely beautiful and screamed high end, even with our limited budget. We had our wedding at RGNY Riverhead and initially they wanted us to choose a caterer from their exclusive list. Tracy went out of her way to meet with the managers/staff at RGNY and thanks to her high level of professionalism and expertise, they allowed us to proceed with using Platinum at our caterer!!! Prior to the wedding, Platinum assembled a whole timeline/order of events for our wedding day (with my approval of course!). Fast forward to our wedding day, Tracy NAILED our decor instructions, food was delicious, and the staff was awesome!! Platinum also made up menu cards for each seat, UNREAL!! Tracy only approached me ONE time the whole wedding day and it was only to say hi and congratulations!! This showed me she had everything under control and didn't need my input on anything. Once the reception ended, the team thoroughly cleaned up and took care of disposing all the garbage. All this to say, I truly could not thank Platinum Party Planners enough. Tracy & George went above and BEYOND to make me the happiest and most stress-free bride in the world. I will forever look back on that day as the happiest day of my life. Love you guys, you are absolute PROS!!!!

          Upohar was the perfect choice for our wedding, not sure where to begin with how pleased we are. Amazing backstory worth checking out on their site, we love how their food is prepared by individuals and the home cooking comes through. Stephanie and everyone so helpful, from the first meeting, to tasting, to the big day they are incredibly kind, organized and helpful. And the food, can’t beat it. We went with Spanish food and everyone raved about it. Everyone couldn’t stop stuffing themselves. Me and my bride are vegan, we have family with strong gluten intolerance, and most of our family wants meat, we had no trouble accommodating everyone. Do yourself a favor and go with Upohar if you want truly authentic homemade delicious food for your guests.

          Vinwood Caterers 
          Rating: 5.0 (24 reviews)
          Ipswich, MA

            Vinwood Caterers is proud to be consistently recognized as the North Shore’s favored catering company. And for good reason. Vinwood’s Signature Style and polished service have been behind all of our sensational events, from simple to lavish, for over 40 years. Our philosophy is simple. Offer fresh, seasonal food at its finest and serve it with style and unparalleled attention. Vinwood custom designs every event and our menus are tailored to your tastes and vision. Our flawless execution, gorgeous presentation and unequaled value will ensure that your day will be spectacular.

            TL;DR - when they say full-service, they mean full-service! Easily the best food and drink we (and most of our guests) have ever had at a wedding. The staff and especially our coordinator, Erica, were highly communicative, accommodating, enthusiastic, and went above and beyond to make our wedding as great as it could have been! Well worth the price! It's worth noting that they were partnered with our venue, Olio Event Space in Peabody, MA, but I have little doubt that they'd do an excellent job just about anywhere else they're willing to go. We had first heard of Vinwood through our venue because they had specific requirements and a list of partnered vendors we more or less had to choose from without a ton of hassle. While this could have easily become a nightmare, nearly all doubt was washed away as soon as we attended a tasting they hosted. We got to experience firsthand how great their food and staff were before getting into the thick of things, and we were able to get a head start on picking entrees, hors d'oeuvres, linens, and chinaware while we were at the tasting. When we had to lock things in, Vinwood was willing and able to accommodate our handful of allergic/picky eaters and create a dessert spread (cookie, brownie, and ice cream sundae bar) for us because we didn't want a wedding cake. From there until the big day, they remained very communicative about what they needed from us and what we could expect from them throughout the process, even going so far as to help us map out the order of operations in the wedding! Finally, on the big day, Erica and her staff took care of us throughout and were all very kind and personable. They went above and beyond in helping us decorate and brighten up the space to make it perfect for us, and we were once again blown away by the service, food, and drinks. We had lots of comments during and after the wedding about how great the food and drinks were, too. They took care of everything in the table and chair setups/moves/breakdown with what Vinwood, the venue, and we provided, all in a timely manner. I'll never forget one of the staff stopping to let me know the bar was closing, and despite getting lost in conversation again and again, she personally brought over a drink for me with a wink and a smile when she saw me failing to get away. If you couldn't tell by now, I can't sing them enough praise - thank you, Vinwood!!

            TRAIL BREAK launched 8+ years ago and we were lucky to quickly find our schedule FULL during those first few years (and every season since) due to our casual yet professional approach to this business! We are a crew that clearly has fun at events (we'd have to given that we roll up with a giant, bright, plaid-wrapped trailer). We are an LGBTQ-friendly company that focuses on providing the highest VALUE for ALL of our clients.

            These guys made our wedding vendor dreams come true! We knew from before we started mapping out our wedding that we wanted a taco truck, and we figured it would not be an easy task to get one of such quality to come out to the boonies of Vermont. But Trail Break did, and they made the whole process so easy! We were completely floored during our first tasting with them, at just how good every single item on their menu is. We locked it in immediately from there and never looked back. The fact that they can be your food and drink provider, all in one, is huge. And it’s just all so good, with so many flexible options for drinks from batch cocktails to single serve cans - they really work with you to match what you’re looking for. And then on site, I can’t say enough good things about how flexible and chill they were. Loved the service, loved the aesthetic, loved the food, loved hanging on to all the leftovers for guests to snack on and enjoy later in the night. Truly the best!!

            We chose Premier Event Services as our caterer and couldn't have made a better decision. From our first conversation, they were quick to respond and showed us plenty of options to choose from, which made planning feel easy and stress-free. The food was absolutely delicious our guests couldn't stop talking about how good it was, and several people asked for seconds. They took real good care of us throughout the night, checking in to make sure we had everything we needed while we ate. I was nervous about accommodating guests with allergies, but they handled it so smoothly with zero problems. The cherry on top was the to-go plates they provided we ate those that night after the wedding and loved every bite. Premier Event Services made our day special and we'd recommend them to anyone planning a wedding.

Their communication style was consistently clear, detailed, and professional throughout the entire planning process. When we had a last minute change in catering, they easily stepped in and made the transition seamless. The quality of their work was truly exceptional - the food was absolutely delicious and their team worked incredibly well with all of our other vendors. They even prepared a special tray of apps and our signature drinks for my husband and I so we could take a few moments alone after the ceremony to decompress, and continued to provide drinks and food as needed throughout the entire night. We could not have asked for a better catering experience, and highly recommend Zeffert and Gold to any couple planning their wedding.

                About wedding caterers

                How much does wedding catering cost?

                When thinking about catering cost, consider drinks, hors d'oeuvres and stations, and the main meal itself. Bar services are quoted per person and pricing often depends on what alcohol you want (more expensive packages include pricier labels). Hors d'oeuvres and stations are also priced per person, with variable costs for more expensive options like lobster rolls. For the main meal, consider what you’d spend per head going out to a restaurant in your area—the cost per person at your wedding will be similar. Keep in mind that plated meals cost more per person than buffets.

                When should we book our wedding caterer?

                Choosing a wedding caterer is an important decision for many couples—good food can really make an event stellar! It’s best to start researching caterers 10–12 months out, and book around 8 months out. You may not always be able to schedule a tasting before booking your caterer. For many smaller vendors, the effort and expense to put together tastings without a signed contract is prohibitive. In these cases, your tasting will take place after you’ve booked the caterer and will focus on refining menu choices.
