We absolutely Loved Christiani's catering. We used them for our daughters wedding. They were prompt, very professional, and courteous. They provided the table linens, cloth napkins , real silverware, plates, & dishes. The chicken was to die for, very most & tasty, so was the prime rib. They even provided a bruschetta bar.
I would highly recommend them.
We recently used Christiani's for our wedding and could not have been happier with the food and service! The ricotta stuffed manicotti, steak and chicken were all delicious. On top of the delicious food, the food was served quickly (did plated meals for dinner) and in an organized fashion. All the staff was kinda and easy to work with. Throughout the night guests continued to come up to me to tell me how amazing the appetizers and entrees were. We had a great experience working with Christiani's and would recommend them for anyone looking for a good caterer!
10/10 experience! Christianis catered my wedding and it was delicious and affordable! Our guest raved about the food and we had several people tell us it was the best wedding meal they have had. We had the Italian roasted chicken, penne with meatballs and sausages, garlic bread and Cesar salad.
We hired Christiani's to cater our wedding and could not be happier with our experience. They are a wonderful team to work with and the food was DELICIOUS. Our guests are still talking about how good the buffet was! They were so accommodating with dietary restrictions and had such a good variety of options. I can't recommend them enough!
Christiani's catered and provided bar/beverage service for our August 2025 wedding and did an absolutely fantastic job!!
While the buffet was set up indoors, our bar and reception space were outdoors and it was over 90 degrees that day. All of the staff were friendly, helpful, and went above and beyond to provide a great experience for everyone. Our guests raved about the food, and Christiani's even cut and served our cake for us.
Between the wonderful food and beverage options, incredible service, and easy communication leading up to the wedding, choosing Christiani's was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!
I would highly recommend Christiani's to anyone looking for fantastic food and bar service and am so happy we had the opportunity to work with them for our wedding!
Great food. Friendly attentive staff. For my nieces wedding
The food and service were absolutely amazing leading up to and on our wedding day. We truly appreciated the hospitality and communication throughout the entire process. However, one thing that really disappointed both my wife and me was that after the wedding, none of the food we paid for was set aside for us.
Many caterers will pack up leftovers for the bride and groom, and unfortunately, this wasn’t mentioned to us at any point—not during our initial meetings, planning, or even on the night of the wedding. The only place it appeared was buried in the contract in small print, stating “no leftovers.”
When you’re paying a premium for such great food, it’s reasonable to expect at least a small portion to be saved for the couple, especially when we had a completely empty fridge set aside for that very purpose. We barely got to enjoy the food ourselves during the reception and were genuinely looking forward to having it in the days after the wedding. It’s a small detail that would have made a big difference.
Christiani's recently catered our wedding. We got comments all night about how delicious our food was! My daughter was picky and tried out many caterers befit she decided on Christianis. They had the best food by far. They were so professional on site and made everything run like clockwork behind the scenes. We had a weather event and the power went off for a few minutes and the staff continued as if nothing
happened. They were calm and the guests hardly noticed! The linens were included in the price, along with water pitchers on the tables, and cake cutting service. We couldn’t have been happier with them and would recommend them.
We had a fabulous experience working with Christianis! From our first inquiry to the day of our daughter’s wedding the communication and flexibility were outstanding! The food and presentation were wonderful as well as the service! We will without hesitation use them again! Thank you for such a wonderful job!
Got to experience Christiani's Catering at a event and a can tell you that the food was excellent.

Hiring Christiani’s for our wedding catering was truly one of the best decisions we made for our big day. I would gladly work with their team 100 times over and will enthusiastically recommend them to anyone planning an event.
We chose a plated dinner service along with an appetizer station, and Christiani’s also handled bar service for our open bar. From the very first intake call through every email exchange, menu selection, and our tasting appointment, the team was nothing short of exceptional. They were attentive, detail-oriented, incredibly responsive, and above all, made it clear that they genuinely care about their clients and the success of the event.
On the day of our wedding, everything exceeded expectations. The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully plated, and served piping hot. The timing of the courses was seamless, and every server we interacted with was professional, kind, and gracious. Guests repeatedly mentioned how impressed they were—drinks were always refreshed, service was smooth and discreet, and everyone felt well cared for.
I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Christiani’s played a huge part in making our day feel special, and I’ll always be grateful for their expertise and warmth.
We had our wedding catered from here and we wewsuper impressed! Everyone raved about the food, the staff was professional, prompt and the food was spectacular. The set up looked great! Perfect communication and worth every Penny. Thank you for being a part of our special day, we can't recommend them enough! We hope to be able to use them again.
Absolutely hands down the best wedding food I’ve had! All of my guests loved the food and the staff was so nice and professional! Peter is very responsive and answered and questions I had! Definitely recommend Christianis for any catering needs!
Had the buffet with creamy pesto tortellini, chicken, roast beef with horseradish sauce, mashed potatoes, rolls, salad. Also since we had over 100 people they included the bruschetta station at mh cocktail hour. They cut the cake for us and also has a great coffee bar for dessert time. Only regret is that i didnt grab seconds before they were done for the night. Communication went great with peter and i had all questions answered in a timely matter. All of my guests also loved the food. Now when people talk about my wedding they always say the food was great. Definitely want to use them again in the future.
Had the ham and turkey New England dinner. It was amazing! So many compliments. The staff did a great job at my wedding. 100% would recommend!
