Emily's Catering Group is the best! Rick is an incredible chef and visionary for a good party! Our guests couldn't stop raving about the BLT station, cocktail hour spread, and the dinner itself. Several guests commented on how nice it was so have salads served immediately upon sitting down. These little details are what set ECG apart. Everything went so smoothly - from our initial call with Rick, to our tasting with our parents, and all of the communications in between with Cheryl - Emily's Catering Group is so professional and thorough.

I hired Carmela Marie to cater my wedding. A huge thank-you to John, Betsy, and Janalynne. Janalynne was amazing to work with—she helped me create a menu that accommodated all of our guests’ food allergies and intolerances, and she handled every last-minute change with such care and professionalism. The food was absolutely delicious! Guests couldn’t stop raving about the appetizers—especially the chicken and beef teriyaki skewers—and there were plenty of dessert options for everyone to enjoy. Even the cake was a hit! Highly recommend Carmela Marie for anyone looking for exceptional food and service.

Brasato 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Serves Hartford, CT

The Brasato Food Truck travels to many of CT’s local breweries, vineyards, and farmer's markets. We specialize in Italian street cuisine featuring braised meats, arancini, burrata, handmade gnocchi, and many other authentic Italian dishes. Brasato Catering pairs our amazing Italian cuisine with high quality service for any event in your home or at your favorite venue.

Where can we begin...Brasato was recommended to us by our wedding venue, we booked them without even having tried the food. We had seen pictures of events they catered and had read their menus and that sold it for us! When we went for our tasting we were blown away, it was very hard to decide what we wanted to serve for appetizers and main dishes. I’m pretty sure I could eat all their chicken dishes every day and be happy! Guests raved about our wedding food, and were shocked at the quality and flavor combinations. We had a lot of guests tell us that they could not finish their main dish because the appetizers were out of this world and they filled up on them. Their staff was amazing, Melissa was so accommodating with our food allergies and requests, and was fun to talk to. She even gave us snacks during our reception before they started their long drive home! While we are not planning another wedding, we are looking for a way to use Brasato as a caterer again. And we are so lucky because their food truck frequents our wedding venue and we are able to go get a taste of their food on those days! We would recommend Brasato for any event you plan without hesitation, you will not be disappointed!

I was overjoyed when I found On Board, because my grandson is an avid connoisseur of charcuterie. Not only was this a perfect gift, but the boards are gorgeous. They are beautiful, plentiful and unique. Jackie, the owner was so great to work with and went out of her way, above and beyond. I highly recommend this business and their incredible work.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kelli catered to us for our June 2024 wedding. The team flowed so effortlessly together between hors d’oeuvres, entrees and desserts. Our cake was AMAZING! Such a unique flavor: blueberry lemon lavender. They provided us with buffet style—honey glazed salmon, chicken cutlets, string beans, and a salad with this phenomenal home made dressing!!! Favorite dessert was the mini cheesecake bites. The rustic decor and naked styled cake was exactly our vision. Kelli was very attentive to our needs from checking in while I was getting ready and providing drinks and hors d’oeuvres and guiding us through the transitions of the wedding. We got rain towards the end of the evening and the team did such a good job covering and moving tables and decor around. We didn’t have to lift a finger. They cleaned up fast at the end too. Kelli’s kitchen is the quickest yet most organized catering service we’ve ever had! Thank you Kelli and team for making our night so special and tasteful!

Awarded Best of Zola
We chose Italiana Foods for our wedding in the Catskills, NY and honestly, it was one of the best decisions we made for the whole day! We started planning the menu almost a year before, and the team was just amazing from the beginning. They were so patient with me (and my endless back-and-forths about changing things!), always kind and helpful in creating the perfect menu. Coming from an Italian family, our saying has always been “go big or go home” and Italiana Foods was definitely the biggest quote we got, but every single penny was worth it. The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully prepared, and served hot and fresh all night. The waitstaff was incredible super attentive to our guests, making sure everyone was taken care of. From cocktail hour to dinner and even the dessert station, everything ran so smoothly and right on time. Even months after the wedding, people are still talking about how good the food was. That honestly means the world to me, because great food is what people remember and Italiana Foods nailed it. Highly recommend them to anyone who wants their wedding meal to be unforgettable.

Maison D Events and Hospitality 
Rating: 5.0 (9 reviews)
  • Serves Hartford, CT

With over 15 years of experience Maison D is the premier catering and hospitality company you would ever need. We do everything from catering to event planning and everything in-between. We take your event to the next level and elevate it in every way possible

I don’t usually take the time to write reviews, but after my experience with Maison D Events and Hospitality, I felt like they truly deserved one. From the first conversation all the way through the end of the event, everything was handled with so much professionalism, care, and attention to detail. Planning an event can be stressful, especially when you’re trying to make sure the food, setup, timing, and overall experience come together the way you imagined. The team at Maison D made the entire process feel so much easier. They listened to what we wanted, communicated with us throughout the process, and were very accommodating when it came to the little details that mattered to us. The food was honestly one of the highlights of the event. Everything tasted fresh, was seasoned really well, and the presentation was beautiful. Our guests kept talking about how good the food was, and several people even asked who catered the event. The portions were great, everything came out looking professional, and you could tell that they actually take pride in what they serve. What impressed me just as much as the food was the service. The staff was friendly, respectful, attentive, and professional without making things feel stiff or overly formal. They made sure our guests were taken care of and handled things behind the scenes without us having to constantly check in or worry about what was happening next. That allowed us to actually enjoy the event instead of spending the entire time trying to manage everything. There were also little touches throughout the event that showed they genuinely cared about the experience and weren’t just there to provide food and leave. That type of hospitality is hard to find. Overall, we had a really great experience with Maison D Events and Hospitality. If you’re planning a wedding, birthday, corporate event, private dinner, or any special occasion and want a team that cares about the details, provides great food, and treats your guests well, I would definitely recommend them. Thank you to the entire Maison D team for helping make our event such a great experience. We will definitely be using them again in the future!

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

  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Hartford, 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.
