Had a signed contract paid in full with 2 servers and 9'days before the wedding bill decides he wants to add more servers @$150 per for 50 people, We thought it was overkill and had a meeting to explain said reasoning and was berated the whole time I was in the location. We fired him on the spot and got our money back. Poor quality and very unpleasant atmosphere. If your looking to get ripped off and taken advantage of this is definitely the place for you. I 100% don't recommend

The employees of Noel's Catering are all extremely hardworking, caring, and personable, which made wedding planning easy and fun! Bill went above and beyond during all stages of the process: he thoughtfully executed all the little details and requests we had (signature drinks, timeline)- everything was FLAWLESS and we didn't have to worry about a thing. You'd think planning a wedding amidst a pandemic would be hell, but Bill and his staff clearly understood Vermont's COVID-19 guidelines, and made it clear that everyone's health and safety was the number one priority.

All of the staff at my wedding were truly on point. The bartender was excellent; he served guests efficiently. The food (prime rib-WOW!) was hot and wonderful. We are still getting compliments from guests saying it was one of the nicest weddings they had ever been to and nothing went wrong. I recommend this caterer to anyone looking for a superb meal and celebration experience, anytime of year!

I had to use my second account to say just how great this experience was! Seriously, the food is amazing. We had the Prime Rib dinner with Garlic Mash, Beans, and so much more. I have also heard the barbecue menu is to die for!
