Relish Catering and Events

My wife and I got married at my parents house in West Newbury, MA this past August and we could not have been happier with Kelli and Relish! We live in Los Angeles so we had to plan everything from across the country. We randomly found Relish on a Google search and were immediately drawn in by the beautiful pictures of their food and décor. Planning a wedding from across the country is a pretty stressful undertaking but Kelli is so talented, helpful and reassuring that it made everything so much easier. They really took care of everything and were accommodating and lovely at every turn. From planning the menu to coming over to the house multiple times to walk through and plan everything meticulously, Kelli and her staff were so supportive, skilled and talented that we were completely taken care of.
The one thing that was most important to us was that we didn’t want to have to worry about anything on the day and I can tell you that we didn’t. From beginning to end, Relish had everything covered brilliantly. They laid all the tables, set up gorgeous buffets that we designed with them, and had everything ready to go at all times throughout the night.
When the ceremony was over, there were waitstaff positioned in the cocktail hour area with cocktails and passed hors d’oeuvres. They were all extremely friendly, courteous, professional and completely attentive without being overbearing or obtrusive to the event. It was amazing.
When the reception started, they poured wine and water at every table. Nobody ever waited for a drink. I never saw a less than half full glass the whole night. We also had 2 bars for cocktails, beer and wine. Relish organized all that as well and it was perfect.
Now, the most important part — THE FOOD. Every single person who was at our wedding raved to us about how incredibly beautiful and delicious the food was. Kelli is a very talented chef and helped us plan the menu to our taste and guided us as to what would make the whole meal just perfect. And it was. Everything was perfectly cooked and prepared to look beautiful and it was timed to hit the buffet at the perfect temperature and look. And between the two buffets, there was never an empty dish at any time because Relish had their staff maintaining it at all times. People really ate and really really loved it. In addition, the tables were cleared by the waitstaff promptly and seamlessly. I don’t even remember really noticing them but as soon as everyone was done with dinner, the place was spotless, and every guest was being handed a glass of champagne for toasts. I don’t know how Kelli and the whole Relish staff did it but again, everything was seamless and perfect.
Once dinner was through and the party got going, they cleared the buffet tables and made one of them a really beautiful desert station with coffee and tea. Again, I didn’t even notice that happening but all of a sudden it appeared beautifully.
At the end of the night, they cleaned up everything and didn’t leave until they made sure we were happy with how everything was left.
I can’t say enough good things about Kelli and Relish. They truly made our wedding day better than we imagined it. We feel so lucky to have found them and would urge everyone to use them for their event. In fact, some people from our wedding were so impressed that the day after our wedding, they hired Relish for their wedding next year.
