Word of Mouth catered our wedding and we couldn't have dreamed of a better experience. Everything from the hors d'oeuvres to the salads to the entrees was phenomenal, our guests were raving about the food all night and well into the following week. On top of the food being fantastic, Emily and Isaiah are great to work with. They're super professional, very accommodating, and up to the challenge of just about any dietary restriction. They source as many of their ingredients locally as they can and donate excess food at the end of an event to local organizations. When you combine their community impact with their talent and great prices, there's really no better option than Word of Mouth.

We (along with our guests) were so pleased with the food and service for our wedding at the Fontainebleau Inn. From start to finish, Emily and Isaiah were very professional, and they seamlessly provided a great dining experience. The seasonal tasting was super fun and delicious, and there were plenty of options to choose from for hors d'oeuvres, salads, entrees, and sides.

If you're searching for catering that’s truly unforgettable, Word of Mouth Catering is it! We've worked with Emily and Isaiah on several events -- they always deliver incredible, thoughtfully crafted food that guests rave about. From bold, creative flavors to the most perfect homemade pies ( seriously, don’t skip them! ), every dish reflects their passion and talent. Their menus are fresh, original, and full of heart. As event and wedding planners, we love partnering with them because we know the food will be delicious, memorable, and beautifully executed😍✨

Everyone at my daughter’s wedding could not stop talking about the food!!! Thank you so much for such a great event.. Bassking Avery ❤️??

We couldn’t have asked for a better caterer for our wedding at the Fontainebleau Inn. Emily and Isaiah helped us plan the perfect summer menu around what would be in season locally at the time of the wedding. Everything their team makes is both delicious and beautiful. Logistics leading up to the wedding and day-of were a breeze. We also opted for several of Emily’s pies instead of a wedding cake, which were a huge hit.
I’ve also used WOM to cater a couple events at Cornell, and they deliver every time. The spread is alway gorgeous and delicious. These guys are the best!
I wish I had more pictures of the food, but the pies and part of the cocktail hour spread help show WOM’s attention to detail and eye for design.

Emily and Isaiah at WoM were amazing to work with and we are so happy they catered our wedding! The farm-to-table style food, locally sourced, was incredible. Our individual tasting blew our minds, and later the group tasting with other engaged couples was phenomenal and a lot of fun (making new friends!). For our ~70 person wedding this past August, WoM catered both our rehearsal dinner and the wedding day-of, with different dishes across both events for a non-repetitive yet cohesive feel. Everyone raved over the food and we have been enjoying our leftovers that they kindly packed up for us (and so happy we don’t have to worry about cooking in the post-wedding week!). WoM was also able to execute our idea of a cheesecake bar (with cheesecake from Rashida Sawyer Bakery) by providing the fresh fruit needed for our cheesecake toppings and creating a beautiful display with our other toppings, along with floral decor from Business is Blooming. Emily and Leslie at the Treman Center worked together to coordinate our wedding day, keeping each wedding event on time, helping guests find where to be when; it’s clear they have a great partnership honed from coordinating / catering many weddings together. We couldn’t have been happier that we picked Word of Mouth!

We loved our experience with Word of Mouth Catering! From the beginning Emily made us feel so at ease, explaining exactly how the food at our venue was traditionally organized, how the night would run and what to expect. We were able to do multiple tastings, including one in which we tried every item on the menu. The day of our wedding the Word of Mouth team was INCREDIBLE. Our family was so impressed by the friendliness and professionalism (they even participated in some dancing!) Due to the team, the reception was perfectly set up and most importantly, the food was great!

Truly the best caterers in this area! I know this personal experience. So if you're planning a wedding or some other event Word of Mouth is a great choice. Pass it on.

My wife and I got married in Ithaca in July 2022, and Word of Mouth came recommend to us by our wedding venue. Since we did a lot of our planning during the height of the Pandemic, we decided to ask Word of Mouth sight-unseen if they could cater our wedding reception and cocktail hour. This ended up being one of the best decision we could have made! Emily was incredible warm and receptive to any and all communication and requests. She was extremely professional and kept us at ease throughout the entire process. She even invited us to a private tasting a few months before our wedding for no charge, which was truly a wonderful experience. On the day of our wedding, she ensured everything was perfect, and the food was outstanding. All of our guests were raving about it, and we feel so fortunate to have been able to work with them. If you are considering Word of Mouth for your wedding or private event, we can’t recommend them enough!

We absolutely love Katie and Tina! We had Word of Mouth cater for our wedding last month and everything was perfect. From our initial meeting they were able to squeeze us in since we lived out of state and they were a delight to work with. We loved the menu they presented to us and our guests enjoyed it as well. Thank you again! We can't wait to come back to Ithaca!
Word of Mouth is my favorite caterer in the area. The food is simply delicious and made with love. Woman-owned, Katie and Tina are experienced and professional. And, I love their marketing strategy... it's simply by word of mouth. When food is good, people talk about it. I love food, and I love Word of Mouth Catering! Highly recommend.

Tina and Katie were an integral part of our absolutely perfect wedding in 2017. From the first time we met them, we knew we were in good hands. Their food is wonderfully delicious, plated in the most beautiful dishes and layouts, and our guests have commented to us for months how good the food was. They were able to customize our menu to accommodate all of our guests' needs and were incredibly helpful in the whole process. Would most definitely recommend for a wedding or other special event.
Laura Pearce
Katie & Tina were great to work with! We were planning the wedding remotely and they made the process very easy. They also listened to what we liked/didn't like and modified the menu to be very unique to us (for example we had a popcorn bar at the end of the night!) I would highly recommend them and they were reasonably priced too!
