We had the absolute joy of working with Peppers Artful Events this past weekend, and they truly went above and beyond to help make our clients’ day perfect. From the delicious, beautifully presented food and thoughtfully crafted drinks to flawlessly managing all the rentals and setup, their team handled every detail with professionalism and care.

Their staff was not only incredibly efficient and organized, but also warm, kind, and a genuine pleasure to work alongside. As a planner, having a partner like Peppers who you can trust to deliver on every front is invaluable.

We absolutely loved collaborating with them and are already looking forward to the next event together. Highly recommend!

We hired Peppers Artful Events to cater our wedding party of 26, and they exceeded every expectation. From day one, Carolyn was communicative, knowledgeable and incredibly easy to work with. She was clear about the available options and pricing breakdowns, which made decision-making a breeze. Carolyn’s and their on site manager, Meagan’s accommodating nature and attention to detail truly stood out on the big day, and the food and desserts were absolutely delicious! We highly recommend Peppers Artful Events for anyone looking for a seamless and enjoyable catering experience.

Peppers was the required catering team for our venue and we could not be more grateful that we got to work with them. We primarily worked with Carolyn who is one of the kindest people we’ve ever met. She so clearly wanted to make sure that our wedding reflected who we are and what our vision was. She offered advice and made suggestions through the whole process. During our tasting, she walked us through all the rentals choices, guided us through timeline development, and her team even answered all our curiosity questions about the produce they grow for themselves. The team created our signage and checked in with us along the way to make sure it came out as we wanted. On the day of the wedding, every single staff member was so kind to us and our guests and made sure everyone was happy and well fed. And most importantly, our guests universally loved the food, which they said was hot, delicious, and better than any food they’d ever had at a wedding! Thank you Carolyn and team for responding to every little email, answering every call, and overall being our guides through the wedding planning process!

Used Peppers Artful Events for a baby shower and was extremely pleased! The food was delicious, made for a very classy affair that all our guests complimented us on. Great customer service from the representative who helped with our menu to the kitchen staff that had our order ready promptly and helped us carry items to our car. Highly recommend and will use them again!

I can't recommend Peppers catering enough!! They were amazing to work with for our wedding on June 29, 2024 in Boston, MA. Carolyn was fantastic and took care of every single detail. Not only did they help with the logistics of my wedding but the food was perfection! I was getting so many compliments all night long how delicious every single thing was. Every dish was well thought out and not like your typical wedding catering meal. Also, they made sure to stay within our budget and were completely transparent with everything!
If you are looking for a team to help you have the most perfect wedding day ever with the most delicious food ever, Peppers should be your choice!

Planning the wedding weekend of our daughter’s dreams was easier to manage with Peppers Artful Events handling the post-wedding brunch at our home. Working with Natalia to plan the menu and service was a breeze given how professional and flexible she was. Having to change the menu a few times did not wrinkle a thing for Natalia. Similarly, when Lindsay and her team arrived at our home, in the rain, for our outdoor tented fete, they went into action and fed, served and seamlessly tidied up around the 100+ crowd - inside. The food (omelette station and breads and salads station) were delicious and any leftovers were packed up and placed in our refrigerators and the house left neater than before. The team heartily deserved the round of applause that we offered them. I am a Peppers fan now and will recommend and look for future opportunities to work with them. They are outstanding!

We had the pleasure of working with Peppers for our wedding back in August and we cannot say enough wonderful things about them! Our main contact person with Peppers was Diane and she was so sweet and easy to work with. She was always available and responsive to emails. We had many small details that we wanted to incorporate and Diane spent a lot of time making sure that it all came together. For example, we were looking for a specific type of copper flatware for our table settings and Diane found the PERFECT fit. We also had Blackbird Donuts as one of our desserts, our favorite ginger beer shipped from Seattle for our signature drinks, customized ice, and a champagne tower - and Diane coordinated it all SO seamlessly. We had two late night snacks (Boston cannolis and Seattle hot dogs, from the two cities we call home) - and although Peppers had never even heard of a Seattle dog they absolutely NAILED recreating it, it was so so good! All of the food (from the drinks to the apps to the entrees) was so delicious, we got so many compliments on it all! After our wedding, Peppers sent us a congratulatory bottle of wine and a jar of homemade granola. So incredibly sweet. We cannot recommend them enough!!!! They really do put in 110%, not just for the basics but for the all the little details as well.

A disappointing experience with Pepper’s Catering for a wedding event! My experience with them did not live up to the reputation of the previous owners. Communication was a struggle throughout the entire process – from the very start when it took 3 calls to get the initial return call, to being stood up ata meeting, to not reading or responding to my emails until calls were made, to a tasting that was not reflective of plan, to increasing costs without notification, to raising concerns at the 11 th hour, and even to the very end when Dianne did not communicate or execute correct return reimbursement.Some details were missed which was disappointing given all the planning and communication on my end that all details were important to me.Cassandra was the 2 nd coordinator at the event but I only met and spoke with her once prior to the event. Never saw her at the event until leaving the venue! Never heard from a lead server throughout the event. All my head table floral décor was being thrown away without my knowledge until I went looking for it!I appreciated Pepper’s willingness to work with us on executing our vision but when it came to the details, Dianne really didn’t want to hear it; seemed like it was too much work/a bother for her.Via “the grapevine”, I had heard some not so good things about some recent Pepper’s events from multiple people. I chose to ignore them but I shouldn’t have. When I shared them with Dianne, the response was “I never heard that”.Some of the food was excellently prepared. However, we felt the entrée served at the tasting was not quite what was served at the event. Not sure why that would be but 3 of the 4 people at the tasting felt the same.After the event I called to give feedback. Dianne wasn’t really interested in hearing it.I did not appreciate the attempt to “manage my expectations”. A customer’s expectations don’t need “to be managed” when services are provided as planned and purchased! This company does not dot their "i's" or cross their "t's" and they really should based on the prices they charge. Would not recommend.Review 12/28/23 - Just wanted to share how pleased we have been with the recovery from this review from Gourmet Caterers (Pepper’s parent company). Immediately upon posting the review we were promptly reached out to by Amy, the VP of sales who wanted to hear more about our experience with Pepper’s. She provided a space for me and my mom to air our grievances, offer suggestions for go forward and she really listened to what we had to say. She was professional, empathetic and an absolute pleasure to chat through a challenging experience with. She helped us feel heard and supported throughout the recovery process. It was clear from the start that Amy and Gourmet Caterers wanted to make things right – they were willing to have multiple conversations with us and Amy worked with management on our behalf to help us reach an amicable solution. We are very appreciative of how invested she became in our story, how willing her and the company were to help and for the overall customer service we ended up experiencing in the end!

I hired Peppers to cater my party based upon recommendations that they did an excellent job with their presentations. The cheese table was as I expected. I realized that it was because I was very specific about what I wanted it to look like. Unfortunately, I did not do the same for the buffet table. I stated to the 3 event manager that I was assigned to my project over a 7 month period that I selected Peppers for their presentation reputation. My theme was Christmas.I specifically stated no goat cheese on the cheese table and the first bite of cheese I had was goat cheese.The food was delicious and the guest complimented that they enjoyed everything they had.My advice is to have pictures of how you want your tables to look, don’t leave it up to the staff.

Peppers did the food for my son's bar mitzvah last weekend, and it was absolutely amazing!! The whole team was so great to work with. Early in the planning process, I talked to Carolyn about our vision for my son's party, explaining not only the baseball theme, but also his favorite foods and food restrictions, and she came up with an amazing menu that was delicious, on theme, and inclusive. Throughout the entire party, friends and relatives kept coming up to me saying how wonderful the food was. After the event, I got a note from our venue, since Peppers was a new caterer for them, saying that the venue also had a wonderful experience with Peppers and was excited to have a new caterer to add to their recommended vendor list. We will definitely be getting in touch when it's time for our next simcha, and I highly recommend Peppers for all your catering needs!
