We used Maple & Rye to cater our wedding a few weeks ago. Rhiannon and the Maple & Rye team were so great to work with and were able to accommodate all our requests, even the last minute ones. They were able to cater Beef Filet buffet style which can be hard to make in advance but it turned out wonderful and the chef even stopped by to check to make sure everything was good before it was served. All the food was spectacular and all our guests keep mentioning how amazing the food and drinks were. Overall we had a wonderful wedding day and everything went smoothly. Thank you so much, Rhiannon!

From the moment we started planning with An Old Town Wedding And Event Center, we knew we'd made the right choice. Lauren, our wedding coordinator, was incredible—she stayed on top of every detail and kept us in the loop every step of the way. When we needed to make last-minute changes to our seating chart, she responded to our texts right away and handled everything perfectly. The space itself is gorgeous and roomy, giving us plenty of options for how we wanted to set things up. Lauren and the team made our day flow so smoothly, and they genuinely wanted to help us enjoy the experience instead of stress about it. We felt taken care of the entire time, and honestly couldn't have asked for a better venue or team to work with.
