We had about 90 guests with a variety of dietary needs, and the BGT team was very accommodating and helpful. It was very hot that day, but the team was so kind and understanding. Pizza was delicious, salad was fresh, and the gelato was such a treat (I particularly loved the blood orange one). Sad that Next Door (their brick & mortar restaurant) is closed, but so happy that people can still enjoy their lovely food. Thank you, BGT! Photo credit: Ken Yotsukura”

The Crafted Cook 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Hamden, CT
  • Offer

I’ve gained passion for crafting up a sharp cheese board and catching some sunshine! I grew up in a family where food was plentiful, the focal point of any gathering or celebration and knowing you would never leave hungry. My passion for food and the culture behind it began when I was 6, working in my family’s deli, and that’s when I learned why food was a necessity to a gathering, celebration or corporate event (no matter the guest count). Customers faces gleamed when they knew eggplant parm was a special, or could walk in and smell a fresh pot of sauce was being made. It's now my passion for my clients to be gleaming too.

“Kate set up a beautiful graze for our cocktail party-style wedding reception. Everything was delicious and fresh, and we got a LOT of food for the price. We also got excellent feedback from our guests (and one coworker who NEEDED to know where Kate buys her cornichons - they were perfectly sour and crunchy). If you're looking to do something casual but still elegant, a graze by Kate is a fantastic choice. :) Thanks Kate!”

Michael, our coordinator, made the planning process smooth with quick email responses whenever we had questions or needed to make changes. On the day of our wedding, the team showed up prepared and ready to execute our vision without any hiccups. My bridal attendant was great, shoutout to her! The food was delicious and our guests haven’t stopped talking about it. We felt taken care of throughout the entire process. Sergio was our day-of-coordinator, his attention to detail made all the difference; he certainly made my whole vision come to life!!! The only thing we had requested that we unfortunately did not get was the sparkler send-off, but nothing that really took away from the night as we were on the dance floor right up until the last possible minute. We would absolutely recommend The Woodwinds to any couple looking for a caterer who actually listens and delivers. We had the most amazing night.”

Old World Pizza Truck

  • Serves Hamden, CT

We started Old World Pizza Truck with our beloved old '42 Chevy, built and designed with a passion for entertaining and food in mind. Our fleet consists of four international diesel trucks, ready to serve both local and long range parties all across Connecticut, parts of New York, and Massachusetts. All trucks have basically the same equipment including powerful sound systems for those of you that like music at your affairs. They all are self sufficient with onboard generators, coolers, freezers and running water. No matter which truck is sent, the total experience is the same- great food, great music, lots of fun and unsurpassed service!

“The amount of compliments I have received on the food at my wedding is too many to count! My only complaint is that I didn’t get to try more pizzas! We booked Old World Pizza Truck for dinner service and cocktail hour charcuterie and boy did they deliver. Even the skeptics (“pizza at your wedding?!”) came back to tell us what a phenomenal and unique meal it was. To quote one of my guests, “That pizza truck was genius. Did I tell you that the dessert pizza with peanut butter, jelly and bacon made my list of best things I’ve ever eaten that sounds completely disgusting?” Would book 10x over. Better than a 150 mediocre plated dinner by a mile.”

“We wish we could give SKBT 1000 stars! This company, the owner Karen, and her staff are ABSOULTELY incredible! For our small outdoor wedding, I am still very concerned about COVID and her staff was so considerate to keep their masks on the entire time (both inside and outside in the heat). The staff was so incredibly kind and attentive. They made me feel SO special on my day, bringing me extra appetizers and sneaking me an extra spoonful of their delicious chocolate mousse! They were so incredibly professional and offered to help with tasks that were not even in their job description (like loading up drink coolers and putting out desserts we had purchased). They truly went above and beyond! It is clear Karen is close with her staff, because they all have such a positive demeanor that was contagious and really kept things upbeat! And the food- INCREDIBLE! I am so picky when it comes to food and my husband has food allergies. We needed everything to be gluten free, and SKBT was so attentive and considerate of these restrictions. The flavor and presentation of the food was AMAZING! My husband and I ended up eating our own meal and splitting one (I am obsessed with Karen's cauliflower steak!) I was SO full from the night because everything from the appetizers, to the meal, to the desserts was impeccable. Really the most delicious food I've ever had! The night of our wedding and most of the next day, 90% of the conversation with my husband and our family was about SKBT and how incredibly delicious their food was and their amazing service. We plan on ordering from SKBT for any function we have in the future, as well as on our anniversary every year (and dinners in between!) We are sad that our wedding is over, but are SO looking forward to using SKBT again in the future. Karen is truly a gem- she is INCREDIBLY talented, is so kind, and it is clear she dedicates her all to SKBT. We are so thankful to have had this catering company for our wedding- they truly made the day that much more special and the day would not have been the same without them! Thank you Karen and your amazing staff, you really made our wedding a day we will never forget! :)”

“As a wedding planner of nearly 10 years, I've worked with many caterers in Connecticut and beyond. When I first started working with Spice Catering Group, I was blown away by their efficiency and planning insight during the planning process, but was even more impressed with their food on the wedding day! Spice became one of my top two preferred caterers when recommending vendors to my clients, because I know that they will not only make the planning process easier, but they'll also deliver quality food and a wonderful guest experience for my couples. Plus they do all of this at a better price point than many of their competitors! (Trust me, I've gotten quotes from nearly every caterer in the state!). I've worked with SCG on many different projects over the years in a variety of settings - venues, museums, parks, private homes, etc. I've even had food dropped off for my family's personal events when I didn't want to cook. I've never been disappointed and will always rave about their food and service.

“Odeen’s Catering absolutely knocked it out of the park for our wedding. We had high expectations going in, and somehow they still managed to exceed them. From the start, they were easy to work with, flexible, and genuinely invested in making everything exactly how we wanted it. But the real magic happened on the wedding day — the food was unreal. Every dish came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about it. Multiple people told us it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had (which says a lot!). Beyond the food, the entire team was incredible, especially Mary the event manager who quarterbacked the planning so ably. Everything ran so smoothly, the service was on point, and they handled all the behind-the-scenes details so we didn’t have to think about a thing. If you’re even considering Odeen’s, just do it. They made a huge impact on our day and delivered an experience that felt effortless, elevated, and genuinely special.”

“We could not recommend Emily's Catering Group more! Our wedding was August 25, 2018 at South Farms in Morris, CT. People say the food at your wedding is one of the most important and memorial parts of your day and it's true! People are still raving about the food they had at our wedding till this day and the fantastic service by the ECG's team! From the very first point of contact Rick and his team were extremely attentive. Cheryl would answer our emails within 24 hours (which for a bride planning a wedding is SO impressive!) The tasting we had was intimate and Rick walked us through the process of what our guests experience would be like the day of our wedding. The passed hors d'oeuvres were never ending during cocktail hour-- our guests we're SO impressed and FULL of delicious tasting food they were wondering how they would be able to eat during dinner. Rick and his team brought my charcuterie table dreams come to life! There was specific staff members from the ECG's team that were in charge of basically following us around during our event to make sure we had all the food we ever wanted and a drink was always full in our hands. It was so refreshing to feel so well taken care of on our special day. We are so happy we chose Emily's Catering Group for our wedding day and we continue to use them to cater all of our events.

“Working with Ellen was wonderful. Her professionalism, courtesy and thoughtfulness were outstanding. Her food was both delicious and presented beautifully. I am so happy I went with her and will gladly call her again. So low key and genuinely a very nice person. She helped with so many things that were above and beyond her job. I highly recommend Ellen to cater your party. Mine was a graduation party at a community room in a NYC apartment building. It has difficult parking and drop off for all her catering materials. But Ellen made it work. She also helped me plan a very tasteful menu. Also her assistant, Alex, was so professional and diligent. They both really helped make my party a success!"”

“This review is a tad long so bear with me. I worked with La Mila Catering for my sister’s wedding which was held on 27 July 2024. While planning my wedding a few years ago I knew what to expect and what questions to ask. What I didn’t expect was working with such a lovely and genuine team. I worked with Sandy specifically for catering services only. She’s spunky, lively, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Working with her has been a pleasure and I felt as if I were talking to one of my best friends. Sandy is a great salesperson. She not only explains what La Mila offers but she does it in a way that is transparent and has no unexpected costs and “fine print”. She communicates well and is direct, which I appreciate. She’s a talker and I don’t mean that negatively. She makes you feel like family most sincerely. In terms of planning and coordination, Sandy was excellent and they’re lucky to have her. Menu: When creating the menu my sister wanted Mediterranean food. Now, I believe that their specialty is Mediterranean cuisine, but they do not shy away from other cuisines. Their menu is extensive and will cater to anyone’s taste. Skies the limit! We had quite a bit of offerings for Cocktail hour, Dinner, and Dessert. We were able to have a tasting which helped us narrow down if what was selected previously was what they wanted for the day of the wedding. There we met Elie (E-Lee NOT El-lee) and Heidi, the owners, and Sandy in person. Elie is the head chef and knows what he’s doing in the kitchen. Everything was cooked to perfection; delicious tasting and the portions were filling. Aside from the food it was obvious that Elie and Heidi work hard for their business and are truly dedicated. Day of the wedding: Elie, Heidi and their team worked based on the wedding timeline that I created. They were on time to serve all their food. I can’t tell you how many times I saw Elie walking back and forth to check on food and to bring food. That guy was moving! Heidi did all of the cocktail and dessert table placement and more. They are a hardworking team and I highly recommend them. From start to finish it was easy and perfectly executed. Point blank the food was delicious and I wish they had a restaurant so I could eat there all the time. LOL Thank you again for your friendship, delicious food and professionalism. *I wish I took pictures.”

“Carmela Marie was an incredible wedding caterer for our special day. From the very beginning, they were incredibly helpful and accommodating, working closely with us to customize the perfect menu. On the day of, their team delivered amazing service and presentation - the food was absolutely delicious and our guests raved about it being some of the best wedding food they had ever had. We did a stations buffet style and the variety was fantastic, with an incredible dessert bar that our guests loved. We were so impressed that we even ordered lunch from them before the wedding, which was equally great. Carmela Marie played a big role in making our wedding day so memorable, and we would absolutely hire them again in the future. Thank you John, Betsy’s and especially Janalynne”
