Sample catered weddings

Gretchen and Zach met in the Caribbean, and wanted to include some island vibes in their wedding reception menu and decor choices. They also wanted other vegetarian food that would work with Caribbean flavors. So we curated a cohesive menu featuring Puerto Rican, South Asian and East Asian food, with extensive vegan and gluten-free options!

  • Wonderful Wedding Rehearsal/Welcome Dinner

    Stephanie, Josiah and the entire team from Upohar supported our son and his fiance's wedding rehearsal / welcome dinner so well, assisting with menu selection and all details including a pre-event visit at the wedding/rehearsal venue. The food was so delicious and appreciated by guests. Service and cleanup was excellent as well. We can highly recommend Upohar as an excellent caterer for any event!

    Upohar was the perfect choice for our wedding, not sure where to begin with how pleased we are. Amazing backstory worth checking out on their site, we love how their food is prepared by individuals and the home cooking comes through. Stephanie and everyone so helpful, from the first meeting, to tasting, to the big day they are incredibly kind, organized and helpful. And the food, can’t beat it. We went with Spanish food and everyone raved about it. Everyone couldn’t stop stuffing themselves. Me and my bride are vegan, we have family with strong gluten intolerance, and most of our family wants meat, we had no trouble accommodating everyone. Do yourself a favor and go with Upohar if you want truly authentic homemade delicious food for your guests.

    Excellent communication throughout tastings, pre-wedding meetings, and the wedding itself. Upohar went to the venue beforehand to make sure they were prepared to bring their food truck. The food was absolutely delicious and we got so many compliments from guests. Josiah was professional and helpful throughout the entire process, and kept the night running very smoothly.
