From the first inquiry, John’s responses were quick and he answered any questions I had. Without us being sure about booking yet, he still offered a free menu tasting that we scheduled for the same week. Our families were even allowed to come. Everything was super professional. The food was amazing, very flavorful and cooked with love. John and his assistant Julie were very thorough explaining how things work, it’s clear they aren’t newbies to the wedding world. The passion and care they have towards the business and food is amazing; it helped sell us on picking them for our wedding. It is higher than our budget initially planned for, but we know the food and service will be top notch on our special day. Plus, they’ll be cooking the food outdoors on live fire. That takes skill!

          Vinwood Caterers

          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.

            Trail Break was AMAZING for our rehearsal dinner and welcome party. Topher was extremely responsive and helpful during the planning process, even helping us find our rehearsal dinner location. Trail Break made our entire Friday night special and unique. First, the food is amazing and we received a ton of compliments from guests. Second, the drinks and service were also outstanding. Drinks were set and ready to go so guests didn’t have to wait too long. Third, the staff is so friendly and helpful. They made our Friday night seamless and special. We actually ended up going back to Trail Break two days after our wedding for another meal! The food is terrific. All around 6/5 star experience (if I could give it that rating). You will not be disappointed with Trail Break!

                We cannot recommend Zeffert & Gold enough! From the very beginning, Matt Gold was incredible to work with. He was always responsive, attentive, and helped us create a menu that perfectly fit the vision for our wedding. We went with food station and chose the taco station and Mediterranean station, and they were the perfect combination for our cocktail-style reception. The food was absolutely delicious, and the station displays looked beautiful. Everything was thoughtfully presented, and our guests couldn't stop talking about how amazing the food was. One thing that really stood out was Matt's dedication. He even came to our venue before the wedding to walk through the space with us and help plan where the stations would be set up. That extra level of care made us feel so confident that everything would come together seamlessly. Zeffert & Gold also provided the catering staff for our wedding, and every single team member was kind, professional, and incredibly hardworking. They kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes and truly helped bring our vision to life. If you're looking for a caterer that delivers exceptional food, beautiful presentation, and outstanding service, Zeffert & Gold is the team to hire. We are so grateful to Matt and the entire Z&G team for helping make our wedding day so special!

                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.
