    The Burton Celebration

    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!

    Considered Baltimore’s best for a reason

    From start to finish, Zeffert and Gold Catering made our wedding day feel special and stress-free. They communicated quickly and with so much detail throughout the planning process, which gave us total confidence in their team. On the day of, their staff was genuinely warm and seemed thrilled to be celebrating with us—they even assigned a personal server to make sure my husband and I had everything we needed. The food was absolutely delicious, and guests couldn't stop raving about it. They also handled allergies and dietary restrictions with such care and expertise, making sure every single person felt included. We can't thank Zeffert and Gold enough for bringing their kindness and experience to our celebration.

    Detailed and attentive

    From our first conversation with Zeffert And Gold Catering, we knew we had found the right team. Their communication was straightforward and organized from start to finish, making the planning process stress-free and simple. On our wedding day, our dedicated staff member was incredible—they stayed on top of everything we needed, kept us fed and hydrated, and checked in throughout the evening to ensure we were comfortable. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, and every detail showed how much care they put into our celebration. We couldn't have asked for a better catering experience, and we would absolutely recommend them to any couple looking for attentive, quality service.

    Nailed it!

    Zeffert And Gold Catering was the perfect choice for our wedding. From the very beginning, their communication and ideation with us was great - this group is truly the best. The food they provided was amazingly tasty and visually beautiful, and they came highly recommended, which was easy to see why. They helped us craft a menu that perfectly reflected us as a couple, and the drinks and food were fantastic. The style of serving the food as stations really contributed to the lively party atmosphere we were going for. Matt and his entire staff were exceptional, and they understood exactly what we wanted and exceeded our expectations throughout the entire process. We couldn't have asked for a better catering experience for our special day.

    Would Recommend to Any Baltimore Bride

    Zeffert And Gold Catering was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, their communication was quick, clear, and flexible, putting us at ease throughout the entire planning process. They were incredibly accommodating, taking care of everything so I didn't have to worry about a thing on the day. Samantha, the coordinator, and the catering manager made the experience seamless and well-organized. They worked within our budget and the food was absolutely delicious - we received so many compliments from our guests, and even enjoyed the leftovers! I highly recommend Zeffert And Gold Catering for any couple looking for a stress-free, high-quality catering experience for their wedding.
