We recently had Celebrations Catering for my daughters wedding and I can't say enough about the food. From the appetizers to the main course we were very satisfied. Our guests raved about the the buffet from the beef tenderloin, to the grilled chicken and side dishes of real mashed potatoes and pasta. We had so many choices! The prices were reasonable, the options were plentiful and Vice President Amy Strike was very helpful and pleasant. I would gladly use them again for catering an event. Thank You!

I used Celebrations Catering for my daughter's bridal shower. They are amazing! There are so many choices of what one can pick as a menu. The food was outstanding! The steak and chicken were so tender and everything from sides to the protein were so flavorful! So much food and their equipment kept everything hot for hours! They provided everything from plates, utensils, cups and napkins and we didn't need to clean up! They set up and come the next day to pick up everything. Thank you for making my daughter's shower memorable!

Celebrations recently catered our wedding in NH. They were absolutely wonderful. From the beginning we worked with Amy and we have nothing but positive things to say. Communication was fluid, fast, and so friendly. Even with COVID restrictions, we were able to schedule phone calls and meetings with ease. And the food.amazing! We received many compliments from our guests about the quality of the food (especially the salmon dish they offer)!

The servers the day of were also incredibly pleasant and thoughtful. Priscilla and Angel took great care of us, and continuously reminded us (bride and groom) that we needed to make sure to eat! We highly recommend Celebrations, and thank them for such a job well done.

We had our wedding catered this weekend and the food was absolutely beyond our expectations. We had the stuffed chicken and the short ribs as option. By far the best we have ever had at an event. The staff did a great job and made everything so easy. Thank you for making our day fantastic!

Celebrations catered my wedding and the food was amazing. Everyone loved it. Amy was so helpful when I called the first time and had everything to offer that fit our needs and more. We look forward to using Celebration in the future for family events.
