We had Kelli’s cater our 150 person wedding. The execution by the staff was exceptional. Her food presentation is beautiful, and the taste is even better. Kelly’s industry experience was a huge plus as she was able to think of the important things for our big day. Our guests raved about the food and their experience. We have even attended two other weddings where Kelli has catered and have seen consistency, continued creativity, and have truly enjoyed how personable and professional the entire staff is.

Keane's Wood-Fired Catering 
Rating: 5.0 (106 reviews)
·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves East Haddam, CT

Keane’s Wood-Fired Catering was founded by husband and wife team, Padraic and Kaylyn Keane. Padraic grew up working in his parents’ village pub in Galway, Ireland and moved to the United States in 2015 where he became fascinated with traditional southern barbecue. Padraic welded his first wood-fired smoker at the Steel Yard in Providence and Keane’s held their first catered event at Whalers Brewing in South Kingstown in 2016. Since then Keane’s has continued to build a reputation for exceptional food and service.

Awarded Best of Zola
There are a million reasons Keane’s has been awarded the top caterer in Rhode Island. It’s hard to put into words what their service meant to us throughout the wedding process. Alicia’s patience and attention to detail during planning, and her certainty that the day would go just as planned was very much appreciated as a nervous bride. Additionally, as someone with a laundry list of allergies, Keane’s took the time to sit down with me and create a menu that I could fully enjoy. To sum it up, the one thing we’ve heard from each and every guest since the wedding is, “Wedding food is usually fine at best, and that was one of the best meals I’ve ever had.” Highly recommend the brisket, cornbread, broccoli salad, and of course their chocolate chip cookies. Thank you to Keane’s for your exceptional service and your delicious food. You’ve got customers for life.

We had an absolutely incredible experience working with this Carmela Marie. We set up a tasting to try the foods we were envisioning for our wedding, and everything was amazing from the very beginning. At the tasting, the food exceeded our expectations and gave us so much confidence going into the big day. Janalynne was extremely thorough, helpful, and clearly very experienced. Leading up to the wedding, she asked all the right questions and made the entire planning process easy and organized. She was so easy to work with, as was the chef, and the entire staff was kind, professional, and attentive. I also had dietary restrictions (dairy-free, gluten free, nut free), and they were very accommodating and made sure I had delicious options without ever feeling limited or left out. On the wedding day, the food was absolutely delicious. We had numerous guests come up to us saying it was some of the best wedding food they’ve ever had. The cocktail hour food was a huge hit, especially the cocktail meatballs—everyone raved about them. From a bride’s perspective, everything felt completely seamless. The team worked quickly and efficiently behind the scenes, keeping everything clean and running smoothly without us ever having to think about it. We are so grateful for how easy and perfect they made the experience! Definitely use them!!!

The food was delicious and beautifully displayed. They were extremely professional, accommodating, and easy to work with. I can’t wait to work with them in the future :)

However, after experiencing John’s cooking, we quickly realized that what he creates is anything but simple.

The food felt both comforting and refined—exactly the kind of meal that will make our celebration feel memorable for everyone attending.

Sunflowers Event Planning, Inc

  • Serves East Haddam, 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.

To start let me say I've been in the food industry for a long time a good portion of that being in the carering/wedding industry, and coming from experience i knew how stressful planning a wedding would be. My wife and I decided to go without a planner and do it ourselves. I have known Georgio for many years and when it came time to plan the wedding there was no question on who I was having cater the event. I've always known him to be very adventurous and passionate about his craft but never to the extent that he generously showed my wife and I. Georgio and his team guided my wife and I through all stages of the process with ease and made us feel as comfortable as possible during the planning. Now the event itself was truly outstanding, he and his staff were so professional, hard working and meticulous. When it comes to a wedding your guest will forever remember two things the music and the food, now my music was absolute top notch the food stole the show. A family style feast was prepared for my guest and let me tell you I'm still getting calls and messages about the food. So to sum it all up LuShe'ann catering should be at the number one spot on your list for future events.
