We cannot recommend Tailgate Gourmet highly enough! They catered both our welcome party and our wedding reception over 4th of July weekend, and they absolutely knocked it out of the park. We actually attended their complimentary tasting before booking, and we knew right away they were the perfect fit. The food was incredible, the team was knowledgeable and welcoming, and we left feeling completely confident in our decision. For our reception, they created the most amazing summer menu — grilled lobster, pulled pork, beef kabobs, chicken kabobs, mashed potatoes, and Caesar salad — and every single item was outstanding. The lobster felt so festive for the holiday weekend, and the barbecue favorites were perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was! The night before, they also handled our welcome party beautifully and set the tone for the entire weekend. We had wanted steamers (which isn’t on the regular menu) and they were able to make it happen! Everything was fresh, wonderfully presented, and executed flawlessly. Beyond the food, their team was professional, organized, and so easy to work with throughout the planning process. John was there every step of the way to answer questions and make sure the menu was exactly what we wanted. They made everything seamless and stress-free, which meant so much during our wedding and a busy holiday weekend. We’re so grateful they helped make our wedding weekend unforgettable. If you’re considering them, don’t hesitate — book them!

SYB Catering & Bar Services 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
  • Starts at $4,999
  • Serves Wakefield, 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.

About 5-6 months before our wedding, our original caterer re-quoted our pricing that I had signed over a year ago and it had increased by almost 15k! I was so distraught and stressed, as you can imagine. Luckily I found Soraya through a Facebook wedding group after I had asked for a second opinion. SHE SAVED MY WEDDING DAY. My husband and I are Cambodian and Chinese and trying to find any upscale asian caterer in the NorthShore was darn near impossible. I had my heart set on an upscale multi-course asian banquet menu. We ended up with 10 courses! Soraya made it happen and all the food was made on site at our venue in Peabody (the Olio). Our guests could not stop raving about how delicious everything was! To think I almost went with drop catering as I thought that was my only option. Thank goodness I found Soraya! As anyone who has ever thrown a big event knows, the food will make or break an event. And Soraya's food MADE our wedding a huge success. Soraya made sure fried foods were crispy, hot foods were HOT, and each table service was flawlessly delivered. Even our foodie families were happy with the food and were so surprised at how authentic everything tasted. We had menu items that were Chinese and Cambodian. I would hire Soraya and her team again, and again, and again. She kept me at ease and made sure everything was flawlessly executed. THANK YOU again for everything Soraya. You have mine and my families deepest appreciation.

I don't have enough words to express how incredible, amazing, joy-filled, and phenomenal my event was, thanks to Noire Chef Boston. The team's care and attention to detail transformed a lunch for people I adore into an unforgettable and delicious meal that we still talk about more than two years later. What started out as a pre-holiday afternoon meal turned into a moment of renewal, connection, fellowship, and delight. This is the powerful alchemy that Noire Chef unlocks each and every time. Of course, the food is extraordinary but it is the team's love, passion and comprehensive vision that make each meal a dream come to life that you will remember forever. I remain in awe.

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

I have known Smoke and Pickles since 2015, when I began working for them as a cater waiter. Fast forward 9 wedding seasons and I now have the pleasure of working alongside them as a fellow wedding vendor. I am a wedding planner who has had the privilege of knowing this professional, whimsical and knowledgeable company inside and out. First there’s the food, because if you’re looking for a cater that’s a very important component. But they are not a one size fits all kind of caterer. Their food is thoughtfully and locally sourced, and uniquely prepared — which you will immediately know when you see the smoker pull up and taste their house made pickles or sauces. The menu offerings are fresh, seasonal and can be made allergen friendly. It should be noted that much of the magic happens before your big day even approaches. Whether it’s your custom menu curation, assistance with rentals or securing a tent, Smoke & Pickle’s goes above and beyond.
