We had Hillside Organic Catering as the caterer for our wedding. Patrick was very helpful and flexible through the entire planning process. Patrick walked us through everything the day of the tasting the food was incredible!

On the day of the wedding, the food was amazing! The salmon and the beef were both so tender and had great flavor. Patrick was able to work with us to have many glutens free options for our family. We are still receiving compliments from our guests about the incredible food and catering service!

We played music at a wedding recently where the food was catered by Hillside Organic Catering. We loved their choices and everything was delicious and beautiful! We look forward to working with them again.

Patrick was awesome and such a calming presence for us throughout the wedding chaos. They put in so much love and effort and truly made all of our requests a reality- from buffalo chicken skewers to hoodsie cups! Could not be more grateful for Patrick and his team. Thank you.

Truly Nourishing Experience with Hillside Organic Catering & Patrick O’Hearn

Working with Hillside Organic Catering and Patrick O’Hearn was one of the most comforting and rewarding parts of our wedding planning experience. From our very first conversation, Patrick exuded a warm, genuine energy that immediately put us at ease and made our decision that whatever venue we chose would allow an outside caterer. He wasn’t just a caterer, he became a trusted guide, friend and supporter throughout the entire process.

Patrick’s passion for locally sourced, organic food was something that really resonated with us. Every dish was crafted with care, not just for flavor, but with thoughtfulness about where it came from and the community it supports. You could taste the freshness and intention in every bite. Our guests are still raving about how delicious and wholesome the food was, it truly added to the magic of the day.

Beyond the food, Patrick offered an incredible amount of support and wisdom. He gave us thoughtful advice on how to stay within budget without compromising on quality. His insights and experience helped relieve so many of the typical wedding stresses, and we always felt we were in capable, caring hands.

One of the things we appreciated most was how open he was to our ideas. He welcomed all of our input and helped us design a personalized menu that felt like us.
He also offered the option for us to substitute one of our appetizer options to the end of the night; pizza as a late night snack for the guests who worked up another appetite dancing.

If you’re looking for a caterer who truly cares—about the food, your vision, your peace of mind—Patrick and Hillside Organic Catering are everything you could hope for and more.

Patrick catered our wedding at Cobb Hill Estate this past weekend. Not having a commercial kitchen, it was perfect for them to be able to bring their truck in to cook everything. The food was absolutely delicious, many of our guests said it was the best food they had at any wedding. We did the filet with mushroom sauce and salmon, both with garlic mashed potatoes and roasted root vegetables.

They were very flexible with everything, we didn't know if it would rain or not until pretty soon beforehand and they were able to adapt to make our wedding special!

We held our wedding in Marlboro VT at the Colonel Williams Inn. Hillside catering came highly recommended to us by the Inn! Growing up in Western MA I was very familiar with the Pizza side of Hillside but not the catering! Patrick is an excellent chief. We had chicken Piccata, Italian Pot Roast, & Mushroom Ravioli. The Italian Pot Roast was so good that our very Italian uncle requested to talk to the chief and complement him!
The food was perfectly cooked and Hillside was so accommodating when our cocktail hour was moved inside and the food needed to be turned into a buffet. Everyone at the wedding was super excited to have Pizza as an appetizer as well! Patrick gave the same quality at the tasting as the wedding and we were very impressed by the quality all together.
Our wedding had a high number of Gluten Free people and Hillside accommodated them nicely making some pizza and appetizers gluten free while having separate pieces of Piccata gluten free as well.Our gluten free guests were very impressed with the food and felt safe eating it as it was so clearly labeled.
We truly cannot say enough things about how much we loved the food from Hillside. We have received several messages from people about how this was the best food they have ever had at a wedding, and Scott and I have to agree.

Hillside Organic Catering was a HUGE success. I received many compliments on the food at our wedding. It was hot, delicious, and everything was perfect. I would hire them again any day. A fantastic company to hire for your wedding.

Patrick and the team at Hillside knocked it out of the park for our recent outdoor wedding buffet serving 110 people in Bennington, VT. I do not think there was a single guest who did not mention how amazing the food was. After the tasting blew us away last year, Patrick promised us that the food at scale would be exactly as good, which was absolutely the case. Aside from delivering an incredible meal, Patrick and his staff were a pleasure to work with, were coordinated and attentive with setup and service, and worked together with a local bakery to provide us a dessert bar. And after an evening of dancing, provided hot and fresh pizza as a late-night snack. I really cannot say enough about what a positive experience we had. Thank you!

I had ordered finger foods for a rehearsal dinner. Patrick explained that we would need to heat up the phyllo cups, which I agreed to. It was supposed to be delivered but at the last minute employees were out sick so we had to arrange to pick it up, which I understood. But the food came unassembled! My server I hired had to FILL the phyllo cups and then warm them up, and had to MAKE the sliders with the ingredients sent. This was totally unexpected! I wrote to Patrick about it and all he said is he felt the food would have been "fresher" if we did it ourselves. In that case I could have bought the ingredients at a market and made them for much less. He quoted me $20-25 pp and in the end charged me the maximum of $25 pp, despite my dissatisfaction with the food arriving not assembled, as well as having to pay my server to pick it up. If you use Hillside Catering, be sure to ask specific questions on what you have to do!I

Some of the best pizza's I've ever had. Great ingredients makes a difference.

Chef Patrick was like a saving grace for my wedding! I had called him by chance hoping I might be able to find a caterer for my wedding that better fit my vision for what food I wanted served. I’ll say it was very last minute for booking something as important as a caterer for your wedding (nothing like a little last minute wedding planning stress). Uninspired by the caterer I had booked when first getting engaged, Patrick was miraculously available on my wedding date and had much more appealing offerings for an extremely fair price. He and his team were so kind to us. He was even dancing and having fun at the wedding with us too! I can’t thank you enough for helping make our wedding a huge hit. Everyone raved about your food and ww so appreciate you and how accommodating you were to help my dad set and serve the cake and cookies he made for dessert. We will recommend you and your team any day! Thank you so much!

Patrick and his team are phenomenal. They cooked for our wedding on 10/16/21. Not only does he keep his staff happy with good energy because of his fair business model, but I got so many comments with the sentiment; “I usually don’t like the food at weddings but that was incredible.” Patrick’s team rolled with oven challenges beautifully and did not let it cause stress (that guests experienced) and even stayed later to make sure things were picked up and cleaned perfectly. At about 11 Patrick brought me, the bride, extra raviolis out because I was starving and served them to me on a plate. Thank you Patrick and everyone at Hillside- I could not recommend you more fully!!
