We were recently married and were so lucky to have found Tastings. I had actually had a different caterer laugh at me when I told her my budget and vision for our reception. Not Tastings though- Sue was easy to work with, down to earth, and flexible. We were able to get all of the food that we wanted at an affordable price and the guests were raving about each and every dish. (Even my foodie uncle could not stop talking about the lamb chops!) Her son ran our wedding reception and did a great job, kept us on time and was great to work with. I would recommend Tastings to anyone hosting an event. Just remember to confirm all of the details the week before, we had a miscommunication on table runners and ended up without them. But if you confirm all of the details you will have a fantastic experience with them!

We used Tastings Caterers for our wedding, and we are incredibly happy that we did. The quality and value cannot be beat, and they are very happy to work within your budget, unlike other caterers we contacted. We didn't want to serve mediocre wedding fare if we could afford it, and Tastings made that possible. The group tastings are a great way to try a lot of different things, and to experience how the food will actually taste when mass produced for a wedding. During our consultation, Sue, who is really personable, was great about finding ways to expand our menu without expanding the budget, and very upfront about any options that could cost extra. All of our guests (many of whom are obsessive foodies as well) raved about the food, which was even better than it had been at the tasting, and also about the professionalism of the service. They also did a bunch of the ceremony and reception setup and breakdown for us, which made the logistics very smooth and worry-free on the day-of.

I did not end up going with Tastings Caterers for my wedding reception 2011, but it was a very close call between them and my other catererTwo Chefs Are Better Than One. Tasting's has group tastings during certain times of the year and I highly recommend attending if you're on the fence. Not only do they have a showroom of all the tables, chairs and linens that they can provide, but they had a room FILLED with food stations, all different kinds. While some of the dishes were nothing truly special (lo mein), their puff pastry items were delicious. I could eat those forever. They are extremely organized and give you a list of the items names. Their desserts - so yummy. At the end, they gave out boxes for you to go around and take any of the leftovers home so that they do not waste anything (a caterer after my own heart). Sue and Eileen even walked around the tables and introduced themselves - I found them to be very personable. For the budget bride, after being laughed at and rudely turned away by a lot of other caterers, Tasting's was a gem. Not only is their food delicious and beautifully displayed, but they follow up with their potential clients, are easy to get along with and very willing to work with any budget.

Incredible seafood and beef. Scrumptious hot pizza dip and best ever buffalo chicken macaroni spoons. Two thumbs (at least) up for Chef Trevor.

We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Tastings; so many that we are not even sure where to begin. They are really, really good people, therefore we are going to mention our experience with them before getting to the food. Planning a wedding can be stressful enough, but when adding in that you have a pre-determined list of caterers to choose from, that level of stress greatly increases. From the list, we quickly learned that Tastings was not only a more affordable option, but the option that put us at ease and filled us with excitement. After our first meeting with Sue in her own home, it was obvious that she cared about us as people, rather than treating us as a customer only. She is warm, friendly and giving, and assured us that we would have a terrific wedding that fit into our budget. If you choose Tastings you will see throughout the period leading up to your wedding or event, they are a team that puts the customer first and will do everything possible to help make it work for you. We also want to praise Eileen for her patience with us and for helping tie it all together. The whole team works like a well-oiled machine, and we cannot thank them enough. Let's not forget about the food...the FOOD! Soooo fantastic! Everything is just awesome, and there are so many options to choose from it can be a bit overwhelming at first. Another great quality that Tastings has is that they throw catering parties for potential wedding clients, which allows for the couple and 2 guests to sample a vast menu which also includes wine and signature drinks. For those of you that have already chosen Tastings for your upcoming event, you are going to be very pleased and have a wonderful experience to look forward to. Thank you again Sue, Eileen, and the whole Tastings team for your hard work and for making our wedding very special and memorable. - Scott and Alee Doucette *Oh I forgot to mention...our wedding was over 3 months ago and our guests are STILL talking about how good the food was!

I can't say enough about Tastings! Sue and her exceptional staff catered my wedding last weekend, and they were beyond amazing in every possible way! My wife and my parents and I feel ridiculously lucky that we got the pleasure of working with them over many months. Sue, her family, and every one of her staff were consistently warm, wonderful, talented, capable, experienced, and professional. And their food is DELICIOUS. Our guests (many of whom are picky eaters or have dietary restrictions) are still talking about it. I wish Tastings would cater my life. Tastings went way above and beyond anything we expected from a catering company, answering our zillions of questions, inviting us into their home for consultations (always with freshly baked cookies) and handling everything on our wedding day. They went a long way towards making it the best wedding ever--and with their support, we never felt even a teensy bit stressed. YAY. Sue and Tastings, we LOVE you!!!

Tastings catered our wedding (June 2015) and from start to finish, were an ABSOLUTE pleasure to work with! They did an EXCEPTIONAL job on the food, drink, and the CAKE (WOW!!!). I cannot say enough about Sue, Eileen and their fantastic team!! They worked with us through every detail of the menu, the timing / flow of events, and everything could not have gone more smoothly! Our guests are still raving - thank you, Tastings for making our wedding day one that we (and our families) will never forget!

Truly excellent food, service, and staff. Tastings catered my wedding this June at the Waterworks Museum, and I cannot speak highly enough about Sue, Eileen, and the rest of the Tastings staff. Finding a caterer was scary at first. Everything was incredibly expensive, so much that I felt as though I would not be able to provide enough for my guests. Enter Tastings. Not only was Tastings a good two *thousand* dollars less expensive than other Boston-area companies, but they were able to provide us with more food than other companies quoted for us! Truly a customer-focused company. I was really grateful to find them. After meeting with Sue several times (and bothering Eileen about tables through several emails--sorry about that!), I had no doubt that Tastings would pull off my wedding without a hitch. And that's exactly what happened. I didn't have to worry about anything. Another benefit of Tastings is that they brought over a special plate of appetizers for my now-husband and I, and sent us home with a ton of leftovers. When people tell you that you'll hardly eat at your wedding, it's not a lie! So I was grateful they provided us with the leftovers. My guests raved about the food, and I have to say I agree with them. I have been to many weddings where the chicken is just dry and kind of unappealing. Tastings does not fall into this chicken category. If they can do mass amounts of chicken well, just imagine what they can do with other dishes. And by the way--you'll taste so many of their dishes if you choose them because rather than a private tasting, they pretty much throw a party every so often so potential and current clients can sample many of their dishes. Attending one of their parties definitely swayed me into choosing the ricotta/truffle dip. SO GOOD. This is getting redundant, so I'm going to end things here by stating that I cannot recommend Tastings enough for any event. Just a great family-run company.

These people are amazing. Sue and Eileen are truly an incredible team, and super reasonably priced. Every step of the way, Sue made us feel calmer and more prepared than we could have been with anyone else. Sue thought of everything, and has worked with enough venues and other vendors in the area that things moved seamlessly throughout the night. The food was spectacular, the drinks were fantastic, and every single person who was working with them was friendly, professional, and knew exactly what they we doing. Sue is incredibly kind and generous- she sent us home with some pastries and cookies after our first meeting! She makes you feel right at home and takes care of so many details. Another big plus is that they have all their own linens and tableware and they don't charge for using the ones they have already. These guys absolutely rock, and I don't think I will ever use another catering company as long as Tastings is around!

Now that the wedding is behind us, my opinion of Tastings has only gone up. The food was amazing. So much so that people are STILL raving about the ravioli and asking if I had any leftovers. And the cake topper that was supposed to be frozen for our first anniversary? Um, yeah... That didn't make it a week. Every last detail was taken care of and my high expectations were exceeded. The presentation was beautiful, staff professional and courteous, and Sue really cares for her customers, often going above and beyond to make sure they are happy. While email communication was not always the best way to get in contact with them if you needed something quickly, phone calls were always returned within a few hours (minus the few times I left one late night) if they didn't answer right away. Eileen and Sue are on top of their game and will create a beautiful spread that is tasteful and hits your budget. I will definitely use them again in the future.

If I could give 6 stars I would. My now wife and I had Tastings cater our wedding last September and we couldn't have been any happier! I initially found out about Tasting through a Best of Boston article, I read some additional reviews and set up an appointment. Sue had us come to her house for the initial meeting which incredibly enough was within walking distance of our own house! Within minutes of meeting her we knew we had found the right person for the Job. Sue is so nice and laid back without even tasting her food we booked her for our wedding. A few months later we attended on of her tastings at the Endicott Estate in Dedham. They allowed us to each have a guest so we both brought along our mothers. The entire staff was very courteous as well as knowledgeable about all of the dishes they were serving. Needless to say I was in a food coma after the event. I found it very helpful that they provided a packet that listed all of the displays and dishes we tasted. After much debate my wife and I had planned our menu and met with Sue a second time to go through the details. She was very accommodating with regards to our budget and walked us through everything step by step. We emailed back and forth a few times making minor adjustments and gave her the contact info for the other vendors. She also helped us out with our tent rental. We had contacted a few different companies for pricing but her friend Mike Tomasetti at Come Rain Or Shine was thousands less. When it came time for the site inspection Sue showed up with her husband John and son Matt and they pretty much planned the whole layout for us from start to finish. They went way beyond what I had expected. I worked in the restaurant industry for 15 years and I've never seen such a well oiled machine. They are a blast to boot. At the day of the wedding they showed up at the crack of dawn to start setting up as well as icing down all the beer (we provided our own alcohol) to have it cold by the time the reception started. When Jess and I arrived the place looked amazing we were thrilled. Our pictures had taken longer than expected so Sue made sure we had a full plate of appetizers waiting for us at our table. During the cocktail hour our guests had been drinking mostly wine, despite there being a full bar and Sue took it upon herself to run out and by a few more cases of wine to ensure we wouldn't run out. I can't say enough about their crew THEY ARE AMAZING!!!! All of our guests raved about the food and my wife's Aunt who is the Director of nursing at St. Patricks Manor has booked them for half a dozen events since our wedding. They are top notch and if you are considering them for an event don't hesitate for a second you will be happy you went with them.

Yum - TASTINGS!!! Our wedding location (Codman Estate) asked that we use one of their preferred vendors, Tastings, being one. After exchanging emails with a few other caterers and Tastings, it quickly became clear that Tastings would be the one for us. We met with Sue (who is amazing, warm, funny and a TALENTED chef!) and she really sold us. Tastings provided drinks to the guests before the ceremony (a nice touch), then provided delicious appetizers during cocktail hour and a fabulous sit-down dinner. They also provided two friendly, professional bartenders (we were able to supply the alcohol). They made my cake - which was DELICIOUS and CUTE! At the end of the night they passed out apple cider donuts, which were also a big hit.

My (now) husband and I worked with Sue and Eileen from Tastings Caterers for our wedding on 8/15/14. Our venue had a list of about 8 caterers that we could use and after narrowing it down and emailing half of them (some were kind of jerks when they heard our budget), we knew immediately that Tastings was the right choice. Our biggest concerns - like most couples- was quality, cost and comfort level. Sue worked with us to make sure that we had the most amazing appetizers, entrees, wedding cake and other deserts for a price that was within our budget. Our guests went crazy for the food. They all commented too on how friendly the staff (servers and bartenders) were as well. It's not only the food that makes Tastings so great, it's the level of confidence we had in them to basically run "the show" for wedding day and prep. Sue met with us several times to review our menu, ask about decor options and to make sure that everything was there that we could possibly and realistically have. Eileen met with us at the party rental store to pick out all of the linens and ensure that we had a beautiful look and feel to our wedding space. From the first meeting with Sue and I placed all of my confidence in her that she would help us create the most beautiful and memorable wedding day. They went above and beyond -- I'm gushing, I know, but truly, I would recommend them with all my heart.

Sue and John are the best at what they do. I've worked with them for years in a professional capacity, and I've also used them in my own personal events- twice. Sue will remember you, and will listen to the details of your event. One of my brides called me panicked that she forgot to confirm the table decor with Sue. Sue was on top of it, and had it with her and had it set up. Not even breaking a sweat! When I work events with Tastings, I have sat at tables with guests and heard EVERYONE say "OMG! THIS IS THE MOST DELICIOUS FOOD!" I've never heard anyone complain or have a bad experience, They are truly good at what they do. I'm a HUGE fan of their Butternut squash ravoli. Their chicken is so yummy, and the salads are yummy too. Also, the desserts... SO GOOD! Sue is an amazing baker, and John is a fabulous cook. Their son Matt and ddaughter Amanda is professional at all the events I've seen and their staff works their butt off to give you an amazing event. If you worry about any detail, they will take the worry out of it. Hire them, stop looking and hire them!

We hired Tastings for our October wedding and we received so many compliments from our guests. This is NOT your typical banquet hall food with dry chicken and tough beef. The pricing is very competitive, too. Eileen was very helpful from start to finish and the staff that worked our event was very friendly. Take an extra few days after your wedding to enjoy the leftovers--They package anything that's leftover and give them to you at the end of the night.

This review is based strictly on administrative points as I never got so far as to experience the food or the actual people, in person. After picking our venue (Codman Estate) and choosing a date I started searching for a caterer. We expected about 100 guests and before I sent in the deposit for Codman I really wanted to sit down with the caterer and see what type of expense we were looking at, and what services they offered, etc. My husband-to-be is a soldier who is preparing to be gone for a while, so despite our wedding date being a full year away, I wanted to meet with catering companies while he was around to be part of the process. I know everyone is busy, as I know we are. I work 80 hour weeks and my fiance works bizarre hours and my Mom was going to join us from CT to chat with Tastings. When I made the appointment I made it carefully and blocked off that part of the day, had my mom make her plans to come north and had my fiance rush home to come with us. When it came time for the appointment, I reached out to confirm the night before and the next day, an hour and a half before we are supposed to meet I get an e-mail saying "oops, can't meet with you, how about tomorrow". In this situation a phone call would have been better! I just happened to check my email, if i hadn't we would have showed up in Framingham (we live in Boston). Either way, at this point my Mom is already up from CT and my fiance has already left his job early so I was very UGH about it, but it let it go, politely, and took them up on the offer to reschedule for 2 days away. Two days pass by. The same scheduling hurricane takes place and guess what!? They cancel - again. Come onnn. At this point I was done and silently scolding myself for giving them a second chance. I got the whole "your wedding is in a year so you are not a priority" vibe from them and, while it is true that it is in a year, my fiance is a soldier and while he is here I am admittedly neurotic about planning things so we can do it as a couple, together, instead of me doing everything alone while he is deployed. So, did a year make things less important to them? Sure. But not to me. We did ultimately find exactly what we wanted, so now I can spend the next 11 months excited about my wedding and not worrying about every little thing.

I used Tastings for my son's college graduation party. Everything was fantastic from start to finish. The staff was wonderful, the food was delicious and plentiful, the tent, flowers, everything!! I would highly recommend them for any event of any size. They are gems.
(5)Claire S.
Tastings Caterers catered my wedding recently and they were great and very, very affordable. The food and service were both great and people are still raving about the appetizers. I was very happy working with Sue beforehand. One thing to know is that they are closed on Mondays. I highly recommend them.

My boyfriend and I met with Sue yesterday to discuss having her cater our wedding. After receiving our first quote from another caterer I started crying and didn't know how we were going to be able to pay for it all. Then along came Tastings... Tastings was started by Sue & her husband after having a horrible catering experience at their own wedding. Because of that, they so all they can to keep things affordable for people without sacrificing the quality of the food. They get many of their ingredients from local farms, and have done lots of traveling to understand the food they prepare. After meeting with her, sampling some food, and seeing some pictures, the boyfriend and I could not stop smiling. There's no way we could have found a better caterer. She doesn't charge for a lot of items that most caterers do, and on top of that she is one of the nicest people. I can't wait to expand on this review after our wedding!
(5)Jes H.
We used Tastings for our wedding caterers for our wedding, and Sue and her staff were warm, generous and friendly. We got to do multiple tastings before the event and were overwhelmed with dishes that we wanted to serve our guests. Our opinion is that they charge too little for the fantastic food they provide, and many people still comment on the desserts Sue made for us. As a bonus, Sue is very easy to work with and knew us by name even amongst all the other couples at the tastings. We'll be sure to work with her again if we need catering in this area.
(5)Amy J.
I haven't hired these caterers personally, but this past weekend I was at a wedding that they catered and I can say that the food was delicious, far superior to the food at most of the weddings I've been to. The staff was professional and friendly, and did a great job keeping tables clear of no-longer-needed plates and glassware. Amazing, fresh food with great flavors and classy presentations!
