The Catered Affair

We’ve collaborated with The Catered Affair on many events over the years, and they are consistently a joy to work with. Their team is thoughtful, highly capable, and deeply experienced, which creates an ease throughout the planning process and on event days. From beautifully executed service to food that guests genuinely remember, they bring a level of care and professionalism that elevates every celebration. Always grateful to design alongside them.

We just worked with the Catered Affair at the Harvard Art Museums for our September 2024 wedding. Matt Regan, our event producer, really did an outstanding job in every respect! Everything about the reception and dinner was run perfectly and smoothly. The food and drinks were also excellent, as we knew they would be from our tasting. (My dad was still raving about the passionfruit wedding cake days after the wedding.) The staff were incredibly professional and competent. We are just so, so happy with TCA. Thank you for giving us our dream wedding!

From initial planning, to execution on our wedding day, The Catered Affair excelled. We delayed our wedding due to COVID and TCA agreed to keep the terms and everything and just move the date (3 times!!) We enjoyed our tasting (great food and wine), their guidance on helping us pick the final menu and beverage, and especially the service on our special day. The servers were flawless, and our guests raved about the dinner service as well as the food. We really liked the fact they did signature cocktails for us (we’re cat lovers and owners, and they came up with special drinks with a feline theme). Trang, our main coordinator, worked closely with our planner and Harvard Art Museum people on all aspects of the reception and was always there throughout to make sure that everything was perfect. We didn't have the serving knife for the cake, and as if by magic, Trang suggested that we used theirs. We recommend them to anyone-they certainly added to our great memories.

TCA was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We booked them early in the planning process, at the same time as our venue. When our venue decided to not honor their contract with us in favor of taking on a bigger, more lucrative wedding, TCA stepped up and immediately helped us find an alternate venue. Their guidance and support through that process was invaluable and made an incredibly upsetting situation much easier. We just had our wedding a few weeks ago, and our guests are still RAVING about the food, the bar service and the quality of the service overall. We opted to do more of a cocktail party style wedding, with passed apps, followed by small plates without assigned seating. We were a bit nervous about the plan since its different from a typical seated dinner, but TCA helped us execute the plan perfectly. The food was outstanding - everything tasted fresh, seasonal, and like it was right out of the kitchen. They were amazing about catering to specific dietary needs and ensured everyone had plenty of options. We had a specific individual from their server team who was assigned to us all night, and she was amazing about checking on us and making sure we always had drinks in our hands and that we got to eat all of the delicious food. They also gave us tons of food to take home and our freezer is stocked with leftovers that we can't wait to eat. We HIGHLY recommend TCA - their delicious food and outstanding service is worth EVERY penny!!

Erica and her team went above and beyond the entire process and day of. She was such a pleasure to work with. She made us feel so welcomed and understood our vision for the big day. The food was THE BEST most clean, organic, fresh, delicious food I've ever had. We even got to meet the chef during our tasting. My hubby and I want to go back every year on our anniversary so we can have the delicious food again. The presentation and attention to detail was also 5/5. Erica went over every single detail with us even how they'll fold the napkins for the reception tables. She is very detail oriented and the absolute best at her job. I can't say enough wonderful things about this caterer. I am SO happy we were referred to them. BOOK THEM!
