Weddingbee boards

I couldn't recommend our caterer highly enough. The number of people who have told us that it was by far the best wedding food they'd ever had.

We had a clambake with lobster and steak for each guest, combo of steamers and mussels for an app, and a selection of hors d'oeuvres, including the best clam chowder I'd ever had.

It was a sort of classic New England feel to the wedding...groomsmen & most male guests wore Navy blazers and tan pants, BMs wore knee length navy Ann Taylor dresses...We rented all the linens and service ware ourselves.

It's called the Little Neck Clambake company from New Hampshire. Deke is incredible. Very flexible. He is from a fishing family so the quality of the seafood is unreal. 

I think it ended up about $40/person for dinner.

Tastings Caterers in Framingham: www.tastingcaterers.com We booked them for our wedding at a mansion in Watertown.

The owners are a husband and wife, and they got into the business because of a bad experience they had with the caterer for their wedding 27 years ago.  Their prices are much much lower than any of the other caterers I looked into.  They won't nickel and dime you - they really just want you to have a perfect day.  When we had our first meeting with them, Sue baked us a banana bread to take home - how sweet is that?  Seriously, google them and try to find a bad review (I know I tried).  Everyone who has worked with them raves about them, and they get most of their business by word of mouth.

 And an interesting little tidbit - they did the catering for Extreme Makeover Home Edition when they were in Maynard last winter.  A bridesmaid in a wedding they had done years ago is now a producer for ABC, and she remembered them.  Small world, huh?  Good luck planning!
