Smoke And Pickles Catering Company 

5.0

  • Starts at $60
  • Serves New Bedford, MA
  • Offer

We bring you a wood fire to roast, grill, bbq or smoke a feast. We offer over 30 kinds of tangy, fresh pickles, relishes and salsas for contrast. We track down all the freshest ingredients from local farms and fishing boats.

I have known Smoke and Pickles since 2015, when I began working for them as a cater waiter. Fast forward 9 wedding seasons and I now have the pleasure of working alongside them as a fellow wedding vendor. I am a wedding planner who has had the privilege of knowing this professional, whimsical and knowledgeable company inside and out. First there’s the food, because if you’re looking for a cater that’s a very important component. But they are not a one size fits all kind of caterer. Their food is thoughtfully and locally sourced, and uniquely prepared — which you will immediately know when you see the smoker pull up and taste their house made pickles or sauces. The menu offerings are fresh, seasonal and can be made allergen friendly. It should be noted that much of the magic happens before your big day even approaches. Whether it’s your custom menu curation, assistance with rentals or securing a tent, Smoke & Pickle’s goes above and beyond.

Keane's Wood-Fired Catering 

5.0

  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves New Bedford, MA

Keane’s Wood-Fired Catering (originally named Boru Barbecue and Catering), was founded in 2016 by husband and wife, Padraic and Kaylyn Keane. They have brought together their love of wood-fired barbeque with fermentation and locally sourced products.

I don't even know where to begin - our wedding wouldn't have been the AMAZING event it was without Keane's! We will be forever grateful for their hard-working staff, delicious food/bar services, and of course KYM! Kym was my main point of contact from the beginning of my wedding planning - every single thought/question I threw her way, she had a helpful answer that was prompt and kind. We ended up having Kym add on service as a day of coordinator - and my family is still talking about how much of a rockstar she was. All of my guests that I interacted with that day, and now after, have commented on how lovely all of the catering staff was, and how truly great the food was. I am dreaming about the brisket meatballs, bluefish crostini and mac and cheese. I also had a guest who told me the bar staff made the best margarita they have ever had! We seriously cannot thank this team enough, and I just hope that I am lucky enough to go to another event that they are a part of. I wish I had photos to share of the amazing food, but just know that you will not be disappointed! THANK YOU!!!

We had the pleasure of attending a tasting last night with John, Julie, Cathy and Gerard. From start to finish they were hospitable, fun, attentive and knowledgeable in everything that John has to offer. The food- AMAZING. There was so much flavor for every single item we tried. They answered all of our questions but also walked us through what’s included and all of our options. It was an exciting environment and the staff's personalities flowed perfectly with our family. My fiancé and I ended up booking John’s catering service before even leaving the kitchen. We are SO excited to have Tailgate Gourmet at our wedding. John offers such a unique experience with far beyond reasonable prices. If you’re on the fence, don’t be! Book him! John is so kind and hilarious!

Jodi catered our wedding reception at the Arlington Town Hall in June 2023. Through all the planning, she made great recommendations for both the food and entire layout. For starters, she created a delicious menu accommodating over a dozen allergies. The dessert pies that she recommended from a local bakery were amazing. Jodi was very easy to work with. She gave good advice on the floor plans and was very patient with us when we made multiple changes to the seating arrangement and table sizes. Her team setup our DIY decorations and made the reception hall beautiful. And the staff were a delight to work with. Among the lovely reception, and our guests enjoying the meals, did we enjoy the food on our wedding day? Of course not! Why? Because you don’t eat on your wedding day. Instead, they packed our leftover meal, our cake, and some drinks for us to enjoy after the wedding. Jodi has our highest recommendation.

Along with the culinary team, our service staff are dedicated to making your wedding day run smoothly, delivering a fabulous, enjoyable wedding experience. Incredible food and amazing service are two things that you and your guests will remember most from your wedding.

Cozy Caterers was great from start to finish! Amy was communicative and prompt with everything, she checked in consistently and was easily reachable whenever I needed. Their work was thorough, thoughtful, high quality, and delicious! Amy and her team not only prepared and served delicious food, they also set up the reception hall and acted as manager for the day. Amy made sure everything was running as it was supposed to and even made sure to bring the bride a plate of appetizers during cocktail hour. They were reasonably priced for everything we got, and they work with local vendors for liquor and our amazing raw bar. Can't recommend Cozy Caterers enough.

We arranged to have the Tuck-ins team come to our wedding to set up a table with small fire stations and Tuck-ins so that our guests could roast their own s'mores as a fun, interactive dessert. All of my guests loved them and they were also able to take some home if they wanted to save one for later. Additionally, working with the Tuck-ins team was great; they're very responsive and were even able to customize the labels on the Tuck-ins to have our names and wedding date on them. It was truly a unique part of our wedding and I think everyone enjoyed it. Highly recommend!
