Sample catered weddings

Katrina had a clear vision for her reception: Spanish, Boho and Romantic. She wanted to serve food from Mexico, Puerto Rico and the US. So we curated a flavor-packed menu for her, which was served on white and gold place-settings with blue glassware.

    We loved having Upohar catering here at our venue. Great communication, super friendly, and, of course, the food was delicious. Our mutual clients were very happy, and we highly reccommend!

    We had the pleasure of working with Sri, Stephanie, and Josiah for our wedding catering. This is a phenomenal business that provides delicious, unique, and fairly priced catering. From the consultation, to the tasting, to drop off - the entire team was professional, thoughtful, communicative, and on time. We chose Upohar initially because it’s a small woman-owned business that provided cuisines from all over the world, and once we tried the food we were sold. If you’d like your wedding/party to have food that is memorable and will make your guests happy, Upohar should be a top consideration. Wedding food doesn’t have to be boring and basic. Most of the options we chose were gluten free, and they did a great job of labeling the food for our guests. We wish they had a restaurant so we could have their food more often. We can’t thank this team enough for helping to make our day stress-free and providing us with delicious food.

    My husband and I hired Upohar for our September wedding, and they were fantastic! We opted for their food truck, selecting 3 different entrees, and 3 different appetizers. We specifically picked Upohar because of the variety of cuisine they offer. We were able to curate such a unique menu--a red Thai curry with tofu, a Greek Pastitsio & a Moroccan chicken shawarma. Our guests loved the options. The Upohar team was also great to work with-communicative, professional, friendly. We highly recommend them!

    We were able to coordinate with Upohar when we lived in Türkiye for a wedding in Lancaster, and everything was fabulous! Incredible customer service, food, and site presence. Being teachers and trying to stay on a budget, we did find it slightly out of our price range- That being said, we would 100% book them again. The koshari was the best! Thanks everyone!
