Awarded Best of Zola
Earlier this year, I went to Buenos Aires, and the food there blew my mind. So when planning my birthday, I knew I wanted asado. I asked around to my argentinian friends, and one recommended Ignacio Maurino, owner of The Asado Authority. Having him on board was a pleasure. We discussed several menu options before deciding on Churrasco and Mollejas. The food was excellent, beautifully prepared with those Argentine flavors I remembered. But what impressed me was how attentive and accommodating Ignacio and his team were. You guys were awesome! Thanks a lot!

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!

We use the business as a means to feed and serve our community. After spending 30 years in Texas we have relocated to central Pennsylvania to begin working with family on the next chapter of Luongo Barbecue. Winners of "Best in Show" and "Best Entrée" at Taste of Western Lancaster County 2025 for our brisket, pulled pork and peach cobbler!

Luongo BBQ is a quality Texas barbecue. And the pricing is fantastic. They are about giving quality food at a price that won't break the bank, but do not get me wrong; I would still use them if they cost 3x what they do because the food is worth every penny! PS: Don't sleep on the Mac and Cheese!

    We are still on cloud nine after our wedding at the San Diego Botanic Garden in Encinitas, and we owe so much of that joy to Abbey Catering & Event Design. They were simply phenomenal from day one! When we first inquired, Will was great at explaining all of the packages they provide and answering any questions we had. After we signed, we were assigned to Petr Trebin our amazing wedding coordinator!! Petr truly brought our vision to life and we are SO thankful for all of the work he did to make it our dream wedding! Petr made the time leading up to our wedding day and the actual day so seamless! He managed the timeline, coordinated with all of the vendors, and beautifully set up our welcome table and reception tables! He also made sure to have apps and drinks set aside for us after the ceremony to enjoy! He truly thinks of everything and is the best! The food was absolutely incredible and a major highlight for both us and our guests. We chose the dual entrée of panko-herb crusted chicken and NY striploin, which were both flavorful and beautifully plated. During cocktail hour, guests raved about the tray-passed appetizers and loved our open bar! David the event captain, and their team made it a great experience for our guests. We had our cake and cupcakes included in the package through Sugar Bear Provisions and our guests were raving about how delicious this was! The florals that were included in the package from Emerald & Ivy were breathtaking from the ceremony arch to the bouquet and reception tables! They were also flexible with us providing our own vases since we had specific vases we wanted to use, which tied perfectly with the gold flatware and charger plates we upgraded to! Our DJ Brian who was included in the package through the wedding entertainment collective was awesome! He kept the energy high, and the music was a perfect blend of our favorite styles and totally reflected our personalities as a couple! We also opted to include photography & videography in our package and both Deb and Tareq were fabulous to work with! We love being able to look back on our video and photos that takes us right back to our day.

        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!!

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!

          I hired Ty from Plan it to the T for my 40th Birthday theme party. From the beginning, Ty was very attentive to my vision for my party. She was organized and knew exactly how to execute my vision. She went above and beyond and even surprised me with a balloon arch. Plan it to the T also provided catering for my event and the food was amazing. My guests are still raving about the food and charcuterie. I would definitely hire Ty and her team again.

          Serve All Catering was absolutely wonderful to work with for our wedding. Their communication was excellent - they answered all of our questions in a very timely manner. The quality of their work and the value they provided was fantastic. The food they served was wonderful, and the bride, groom, and all of our guests were very happy with it. They were also very accommodating to our non-traditional outdoor venue, and the customer service and willingness to do what was needed for our small reception was superb. Tim sent his A-team, and I can't thank them enough for making this such an amazing day for my son, his new wife, and our whole family.

            Zeffert and Gold Catering was an exceptional choice for our wedding. Their communication style was consistently clear, detailed, and professional throughout the entire planning process. When we had a last minute change in catering, they easily stepped in and made the transition seamless. The quality of their work was truly exceptional - the food was absolutely delicious and their team worked incredibly well with all of our other vendors. They even prepared a special tray of apps and our signature drinks for my husband and I so we could take a few moments alone after the ceremony to decompress, and continued to provide drinks and food as needed throughout the entire night. We could not have asked for a better catering experience, and highly recommend Zeffert and Gold to any couple planning their wedding.

            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.
