Tasting's was amazing from beginning to end on making our day special. We attended their tasting event which was amazing, and they were very responsive via email with any questions we had. They gave us a selection of which plates and silverware to use, as well as were able to choose what color napkins we wanted. The food was amazing and we received tons of compliments for them, we chose the flank stank with chimichurri, herb roasted chicken with garlic herb au jus, and vegetarian paella. The coffee and tea station was also a great touch that guests appreciated. The bar service they offered was also very flexible and wonderful. We sincerely appreciate all of their work and they made our night unforgettable! Thank you!
Tastings is owned and run by a family who bring a personal touch and warmth to their interactions with you but are also very professional, detailed and knowledgeable. We got great advice from Tastings about foods, how to run the event, and ways to manage costs. They also are willing to provide table settings and many other items that many caterers charge extra for. The service included providing two responsive bartenders while we bought our own liquor. They were flexible as we made changes and adjustments. We went to two tastings to sample their food. Overall, the food is excellent though like any caterer, you need to pick through their many offerings to find what meets your taste. Our guests were complimentary about the food and service. You will be happy if you choose Tastings for your wedding or event.
We used Tastings for our wedding a few weeks ago and can not say enough positive things about them! When deciding whether to book with them or not, we attended a group tasting where we got to try so many of their foods. We were able to attend a few more of these throughout the planning process and it was such a helpful way to get a taste of what they offer and narrow down our menu choices. Sue was so helpful in building our menu and considering multiple dietary restrictions and allergies throughout the process. We even borrowed some decor from them, which was a really nice bonus! Everything was delicious - all our guests have been raving about the food!
Tastings Caterers is one of the preferred vendors for The Garden at Elm Bank, and after working with them, it’s easy to see why. They were one of the more affordable options we explored, and their glowing online reviews made choosing them a no-brainer. And let me just say—those reviews about guests raving about the food are absolutely true!
Creating our menu was such a fun and collaborative process. Tastings was incredibly flexible and open to incorporating personal touches, including Asian-inspired dishes like Vietnamese shrimp spring rolls and duck with hoisin sauce. They brought our vision to life in a way that felt both customized and polished.
Many of our guests are serious foodies, and we were flooded with compliments throughout the night. Honestly, the food might have been the true star of the day—not the flowers, not the décor, but the incredible cuisine. It made our celebration feel even more special and memorable.
Tastings was highly recommended by our venue - Lyman Estate - and I cannot say enough great things about them.
Sue and Eileen were wonderful. From the tasting events to planning to helping us on-site, they made the whole process fun and enjoyable. They were incredibly helpful in providing menu suggestions that fit within our budget and provided accommodations for our guests' dietary restrictions.
The food, desserts, cake, and drinks were absolutely fantastic! The Tastings team went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect for our wedding. They are the best!
Tastings Catering absolutely knocked it out of the park with our wedding. Sue and Eileen are wonderful to work with and both the food and service at our wedding were outstanding. So many of our guests raved about the food - vegans, omnivores and gluten free-ers are reported feeling very satisfied - can't recommend Tastings Catering enough!
Tastings catered our wedding and were so helpful, responsive, and flexible throughout the entire planning process. The food was delicious and the service was fantastic. We really cannot recommend them enough!
Tastings was the best choice we made for our June 15th, 2024 wedding at the Larz Anderson Auto Museum. Not only are Sue, Eileen, & the whole team just the friendliest group of people, they were also super helpful, accommodating, and patient throughout the entire planning process and on the wedding day. I could go on and on about how amazing they were, but I'll try to keep it quick! 1. Their group tastings are amazing - we LOVED the format because it meant we got to try multiple apps, entrees and drinks and we also got to talk to the team! Also provides a great opportunity to check out examples of table settings. 2. We saved a ton of money with tastings because they own their own plates and flatware (there are a few selections). We went with gold rimmed plates and the gold flatware and they looked stunning. We also were able to use ivory napkins that they owned (depends how big your wedding is and what they have on hand whether or not these need to be rented). 3. Their food is DELICIOUS. Multiple guests told us our wedding had the best food they had ever had at a wedding - the braised short ribs, seafood skewers and the veggie strudel are to die for. 4. They allowed us to customize the menu - I asked if we could do a mini lobster roll app and they said absolutely! I had a specific salad in mind for a starter for dinner - not a problem! Loved how accommodating they were 5. They have bartending services too and allowed us to pick signature cocktails and even a signature mocktail! Our venue had two bar set ups that were switched between throughout the night and they handled that with ease and even served a wine pour during dinner. Overall, service, food and price were all wonderful and I'd highly recommend Tastings to anyone who asks!
Best caterer hands down!! Sue and Eileen were great to work with and answered several questions over the course of many months. What made them stand out compared to other caterers was not only the quality of the food they cooked and served but all the extras they threw in. They worked with us on our budget, let us borrow centerpieces for the reception, made the best French almond cream cake from scratch AND served fresh chocolate chip cookies to our guests. They even went above and beyond and packaged all left overs for us to enjoy after our big day. Everyone raved about the beef short ribs and haddock. We were told by several guests that we had the best wedding food, which in my opinion is true! Tastings was also our bartender, which made keeping track of wedding vendors easier and costs down. Overall we are thrilled to have worked with Tastings and plan to use them again for other celebrations. If you’re still on the fence after reading this, go to one of their sampling dinners to try their food!
Sue, Eileen, Amanda, and everyone at Tastings was a joy to work with. Their prices are very reasonable and the food is outstanding. We got so many compliments from guests on the quality of the food, and also the professionalism of the staff.

My wife and I chose Tastings as our caterer and it was definitely the right choice. From the beginning of our planning a year out, Tastings worked with us to select and fine tune our menu. They offer various group tastings events prior to your event so you can sample many of the food, drink, and desert items. Their selection of options is pretty fast and they can even customize the menu upon request. On top of that, Tastings does a significant amount of the setup on the day of the wedding and they really helped capture the vision and turn it into beautiful reality. The food taste itself was excellent, the signature drinks even better than our own trials, and above all impeccable service on the day of our event. Amanda even took some additional pictures of us and sent them to us afterwards. Amazing experience and would definitely recommend!
I cannot recommend Tastings highly enough - they were incredible and went above and beyond our expectations.Food: we were blown away by the selection of entrees and appetizers, all of which were incredible. The group tasting experience was a highlight - Tastings made the effort to seat couples from the same venue near each other and facilitated a lot of shared advice. I have been to ~20 weddings over the past two years and think this was the best food I have had (echoed by many guests)Experience: Sue and Eileen are incredibly organized and responsive and made it easy to put everything from schedule to decor in their hands. They have years of experience and very professional staffValue: Tastings was far and away the best food we have had (including from high budget, $200K+ weddings) but was priced extremely reasonably for a full-service, high-quality meal, especially relative to other popular Boston-area caterers
We LOVE Sue, Elieen, and their team! They are super fun, laid back, and really easy to work with! We used them for our wedding in June and they had a crazy rainy day to work through, they dealt with it so well, and professionally!! We hope to have an event to use them again, but until then, we HIGHLY recommend them!! The food was amazing, their team decorated beautifully, and their bartenders were awesome!!
Tastings Catering is one of the best catering choices that you can make! Their food was amazing, their prices were nearly half of all the other venue-approved caterers, and they had great customer service! A huge benefit to using Sue and Eileen is that they even make the wedding cakes (we had a lemon cake with lemon curd filling), and they are EXTREMELY good and included in the price.Day-of, we had no issues what-so-ever. They were intimately familiar with the venue and took care of absolutely everything. We were about 30 minutes behind on schedule (our fault, not any vendors) and they were still able to serve a very hot and very good dinner.The only small complaint I would raise is that the planning communications were a little...redundant. We were asked the same question multiple times and had to ask the same questions several times prior to them getting answered. Ultimately everything was perfect on our day, but we wished the planning went a little smoother.
Tastings was recommended to us by our venue along with some other caterers. Tastings had the best pricing and meal options by far so we scheduled a private tasting with them. We were so impressed by the food we decided that day to book Tastings for our wedding a year and a half later. We went to one of their group tastings a few months later with our families so they could try the food. The group tastings are held at a local venue and are attended by a bunch of tastings couples getting married around the same time. You get to try 3 fish, beef, and chicken entrees as well as some vegetarian options, lots of salads, appetizers and desserts, cake flavors, and other snacks like their bacon maple popcorn. Our family had a great time and took home tons of leftovers.When our wedding rolled around inflation had hit both us and Tastings hard and Sue and Eileen were great with helping us understand pricing changes and working to get the best possible value without sacrificing our entree choices. On the wedding day Sue made sure my husband and I were taken care of with cocktails and appetizers as soon as the ceremony was over. We made sure to actually sit and eat on our wedding day and everything was delicious. Our guests debated what our best appetizer was passionately, and a few people told us the bacon wrapped scallops were the best they've ever had. If you're getting married in the fall I cannot recommend the butternut squash ravioli as a vegetarian entree, it was one of the best pastas I've ever tried.We really enjoyed working with Tastings.
