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!
Sam Hildebrand
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
Madeline & Jonathan
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.

Tastings was great! We had so much fun attending their group tasting events leading up to our big day. Our wedding was perfect. Tastings handled all the set up, food, and bar service. We had so many compliments on how good the food was! I would highly recommend them to anyone.

I cannot say enough good things about Tastings Catering. They did my wedding at Lyman Estate in Waltham, MA and were so accommodating to food, decorations, and having to deal with COVID rescheduling! They were a pleasure to work with and are extremely reasonably priced!

We had an AMAZING experience with Tastings Catering. Sue the owner, Mat our banquet manager, and all of the rest of their staff were friendly, kind, attentive, and went above and beyond for our micro-wedding 2 months ago. Since we had a small COVID wedding, food was the main focal point of the affair, and Sue was able to take the difficult guidelines we gave her (a menu that celebrated our mixed Chinese/Haitian/Dominican backgrounds and had a homey/down to earth feel) and came up with an outstanding menu to fit this perfectly. She was understanding and sensitive about adjusting the menu to fit our budget, and she kindly gave us a very thorough tasting and made adjustments based on our feedback. She also offered to let us borrow numerous candles and decorations free of charge, which saved us an enormous amount of money and waste, which was ideal for us since we were trying to be as sustainable as possible. The day of our wedding, the Tastings staff did an impeccable job of setting up everything like we planned, the decorations they provided were gorgeous, everything was done exactly as planned and on time, and the food was absolutely delicious. The staff was very thoughtful about making sure that my husband and I were fed. They made sure to set aside food for us during the cocktail hour, which we mostly missed due to photography time. We received a lot of compliments on the food from our guests: my Haitian father-in-law was impressed by the Haitian meatballs, which is NOT something most American catering companies can easily do, and the jerk chicken was rated as "authentic" by our Caribbean guests.Months later, I still have dreams about the gorgeous and tasty holiday-themed cookies Sue baked for us: my husband has promised me that we will buy cookies from Tastings again the next time we are in Massachusetts again. In short, we can't recommend Tastings enough for your wedding celebration: they were a key part of making our wedding a success. We hope to use them again for a larger anniversary party, whenever the pandemic is over.

I cant say enough good things about this company! Not only was the food great but Sue and the rest of her family/staff were so awesome!!!! The whole process was so incredible! They’re reasonably priced, they even take care of decorating! The food was soooo great that our guests have still been talking to us about it!!! Sue went around making sure that our guests were fed and comfortable! She paid extra special attention to us as well, making sure we were taken care of during our special night! Amanda, Sues daughter was able to help bring our vision to life when we met with her! We feel so lucky to have found these people to be a part of our big day! They are truly kind, caring and the kind of people you want there on your wedding day! They felt like family!
