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 Providence, 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.

We cannot recommend Soraya and her team enough! We had a Turkish American wedding and she was both our caterer and coordinator. The food was delicious and we are still getting compliments almost a month after! She really understood what was needed to combine both Turkish and American style foods, and was very conscious of what would work for our crowd and what wouldn’t. Soraya was able to answer questions I didn’t even know I had, and we were able to confidently hand everything over to her so that we were fully present during our special day. If anything went wrong, we were completely unaware. The wedding day was truly magical and we wouldn’t have been able to enjoy our day without her! Thank you Soraya :)

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

We truly cannot speak highly enough of Smoke & Pickles! Our guests are still talking about "the best wedding food they've ever had" 3 months later, and we can't argue with them. Beyond creating an incredibly bespoke and personal menu for us (with plenty of GF and veggie options!) Sally was instrumental to the process. She helped us book all of our rentals (tent, flatware, plates, tables, etc) and she was always there for advice and to offer suggestions based on her experience. She met with us at PEAK to pick out our tableware, she gave us great suggestions for anything else we needed to rent, coordinated all the setup both on Friday and our actual wedding day, and was so prompt in her replies via email or phone. We could not have pulled it off without her expertise! We would have ended up spending a lot more money overall if we didn't have her guidance. And of course the food was amazing. I loved the fact that it was all local and in-season! Sustainability was very important when picking our vendors, so I appreciated the attention to detail, the composting, and support of local farmers and growers. Plus we got to take home the leftovers! Win/win/win. Lastly, the whole team truly cares about the process. They don't just throw food in pans on the table, but craft such gorgeous tablescapes that look like they fit in perfectly with the rest of the event. Handmade pottery, flowers, cutting boards...its beautiful to look at, AND to eat! If you need a caterer to deliver the BEST food and support your wedding or event - Smoke and Pickles is your team.

  • Serves Providence, RI for additional fees

At The Smoking Bar, we pride ourselves on crafting unique and flavorful cocktails and food that elevate your drinking experience. Our journey began with a passion for mixology and cooking, and we continue to innovate and inspire with every drink and dish we serve.

The Smoking Bar was hands down the best vendor we worked with for our wedding. From the very beginning, they communicated with us consistently and were always available to answer any questions we had. 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. We couldn't have been happier with the service they provided and would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.
