9 Best Caterers near Portland

“58 Culinary catered our wedding, and we could not recommend them enough! The whole team worked with us to create the perfect menu and helped with planning all the logistics of the day. Having awesome food for our wedding was really important to us, and 58 Culinary absolutely nailed it. Everything we ate that day was amazing, and the whole dinner service went smoothly from start to finish. Our guests are still raving about how good the chickpea fries were! We definitely recommend 58 culinary if you are looking for a wedding caterer!“

“It is not often that I have a chance to attend a strictly kosher wedding at a venue in Portland, Maine. I went to such a wedding last night at the Italian Heritage Center and it was fabulous! It was a multi-faceted event and included 400 guests. Everything came off without a hitch as far as the guests could see, but I am sure that it was much more difficult for those behind the scenes. A big shout out needs to go to Nikki Cox and her staff for pulling this off. I know that it was not easy but they did a great job! I highly recommend IHC for anyone looking for a wedding venue where they know what to do and can get the job done right!“

“Backyard wedding dinner & reception for about 50 guests in central Maine.
We had the BEST night ever because we worked with black tie. I can barely articulate the zillion reasons this was the best choice of our whole planning experience, but a few points:
- Our guests are still raving about the food days later. 12/10 stars to the chef, cooks, bartenders, and servers who were complete all-stars.
- Since this was at our home, our genius planner Heather coordinated ALL of the rentals for the party & catering team with Wallace Events/One Stop and made it incredibly easy.
- We asked for a few customizations, like we wanted a few of our favorite beers on tap and our own wine selections - they honored every single one of our requests - big and small - and just made it happen!“

“Great good and amazing prices can't beat it“

“We visited on a late Saturday afternoon in mid-June 2025.

We found street parking a couple blocks away. The cafe is in the basement of the museum near the bathrooms and water fountains. There is a large meeting room or lecture all auditorium thing we believe too just further down the basement.

We did not actually eat anything here but we did take a bunch of pictures hoping to help others out. We actually didn't see any staff while we visited and we weren't sure if they were already closed for the day or what.“

“Nancy and her team were such a pleasure to work with and helped make our wedding day extra special! She was very responsive and accomodati by to our unique requests. Our guests raved about the unique and flavorful menu - especially the award-winning goat cheese :) We couldn't have been happier!“

“As the caterer for our wedding in midcoast Maine, Dandelion went above and beyond. They were great to work with throughout the entire process and were very flexible to fit our needs. Our chef Tom did a fantastic job with everything from apps to main courses to dessert and thank you treats! Everyone raved about the food--thanks Dandelion!!“

“What an epic experience! I don't know many better settings in Maine. The owner, Molly, has created a perfect atmosphere with delectable, homestyle food. The chef, from Texas, sure nows how to throw down. While my husband and I enjoyed lovely happy hour martinis, our son was outside helping make pizzas and saying hello to the goats. Bravo to a wonderful place. Can't get more "Maine" than eating in the cutest barn and farm house while being served by the friendliest staff on the most beautiful pond side property chockfull of animals. Will come back ASAP!“
