A Thyme to Cook did a tremendous job from start to finish for our wedding. Specifically, Dee Jayne, our wedding planner was an absolute pleasure to work with, and I cannot recommen...
d her highly enough. As a former wedding planner myself, I truly understand the stress, complexity, and countless moving parts that go into making a wedding day perfect. Because of that, I especially appreciate the incredible job Dee did.
From the start, she was on top of every detail—big and small—making the entire process seamless and stress-free. Her organization and professionalism were unmatched, and she brought calm, joy, and positivity to every conversation and every step along the way.
As a result, the wedding day itself ran flawlessly, allowing us to truly enjoy the celebration knowing it was all under control. I also want to compliment the serving staff - everyone I interacted with it was fabulous and the food was delicious! It was one of the most important elements of a wedding and A Thyme to Cook was awesome.
A Thyme to Cook was an amazing team to work with that helped make both my Husband and I’s wedding magical! The food was incredible and I wish I had more of it! And the team was abs...
olutely sweet and they work very hard to make sure everything goes smoothly. I want to also give props to my coordinator Dee for helping make everything happen. She is very on top of everything and works super hard as well to make your day wonderful! Very easy to talk to, is super understanding and is always there to help you when a question needs to be answered. She also has a lot of connections to florists, music decorations and even other venues events! I definitely recommend going with A time to Cook for your wedding, and if you get Dee as your coordinator then you will be in very good hands.
A Thyme To Cook catered my wedding in September 2025 and they were truly amazing!! Everything was so detail oriented from the very beginning. I really appreciated the customization...
we were able to do with our menu to make the wedding day exactly what we wanted! Dee (our coordinator) was AWESOME! She was so responsive and helpful throughout the entire planning process and made the day of feel seamless for my husband and I!!! She really took care of everything on the wedding day and made sure we had exactly what we needed. I could not recommend Dee and A Thyme To Cook more!! They made our entire vision come to life and everything was perfect! All of our guests still talk about how delicious the food was and how incredible the service was during the whole day!!! Book them for your next event! It will be well worth it!
We got married this past August, and one of the first vendors we booked was A Thyme to Cook. From the initial phone call to the end of the wedding day, everything was planned with ...
detail, the highest quality, and the most care. We worked with Dee and could not have been more impressed on the wedding day. Dee went above and beyond to help us figure out what we wanted, to make it all happen, and is a huge reason why we can say we wouldn’t have changed a single thing about our wedding. 10/10 recommend booking A Thyme to Cook and working with Dee!!
We worked with A Thyme to Cook for my sister’s August wedding at the Eolia Mansion and it’s the best decision my sister and fiancé made (besides getting married!!) From the very be...
ginning they were nothing short of amazing, so thorough, and extremely detailed. The food and presentation was absolutely stunning and the guests are still talking about how good it all was!! They took it to the next level with the whole process- they’re not just a caterer, they’re pretty much wedding planners too! And I have to say all that and more with their event coordinator Dee! She instantly felt like family and her kind, warm presence was everything we needed throughout the process. Dee thought of every little possible detail to make sure the day was perfect and went off without any issues, and kept us fully informed and on track the entire part of the wedding planning process (without making us feel stressed out because there were SO many decisions to be made!) I honestly wish I had Dee for my own wedding- the amount of times I woke up in a panic thinking of things I had completely forgotten, etc— my sister never once had that stress of “what are we forgetting?” because Dee was on top of it all and 10 steps ahead of us. She truly is incredible at what she does and we can’t say enough great things about her! Having her there on the wedding day kept us all calm and collected- we really wish she was there attending as family because that’s what she felt like after it all! (And we all really miss Dee now that the wedding is done!)
A Thyme to Cook also has such great relationships with all the other vendors in the area (and the venue!) and it made the planning process that much easier with getting everyone on the same page, setting the day of timeline and making sure things ran smoothly. We can’t thank them all enough for making my sister’s wedding so beautiful, delicious and so truly special. I’m seriously considering a vow renewal in the near future so we can work with them again!!
A Thyme to Cook was such a great partner throughout our wedding planning process and on the day itself. They were incredibly communicative leading up to our wedding on 9.13.25 at E...
olia Mansion, which made everything feel organized and stress-free. Our tasting was amazing, and when we shared feedback, they made adjustments right away. It really felt like they wanted to get everything just right.
On the wedding day, their team truly helped the day flow. Even when we ran into hiccups with our transportation company, they stayed calm and made sure everything continued to run smoothly behind the scenes. The setup was efficient and well executed, and the food and drinks were a huge hit. Our guests are still raving about the menu, passed appetizers, and desserts.
Overall, we had a great experience working with A Thyme to Cook and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a caterer and day-of coordination team who helps bring everything together.
Our experience with A Thyme to Cook was truly exceptional. From the very beginning, they were professional, kind, and incredibly easy to work with. They guided us through the entir...
e planning process with so much patience, answering every question and helping us feel confident and excited every step of the way. Working with them never felt transactional — they were truly more than just a catering team.
The food itself was absolutely delicious, but what made it even more special was how thoughtfully they personalized everything. Alexis, and the Thyme to Cook team, took the time to learn about our lives, our backgrounds, and what mattered to us as a couple, and then crafted a menu that reflected our story so beautifully. The unique touches, the meaningful flavors, and the little nods to who we are were noticed and loved by every guest.
Our wedding felt more personal and more “us” because of them, and the day couldn’t have gone more smoothly. We are so grateful for their care, creativity, and heart — we couldn’t recommend them more highly!
We could not imagine our wedding without A Thyme to Cook! From our first meeting with Juli, where she encouraged and got excited by all of our crazy creative ideas, to every meetin...
g and incredible tasting with Rachel -- we had the best time dreaming up all the food and drinks for our wedding day. And they BEYOND executed! The food was so delicious, but perhaps just as important was the kindness, care, efficiency, and professionalism Rachel & her whole team showed us. We are SO glad we hired ATTC and couldn't recommend them more!
A Thyme to cook was excellent to work with for my daughters wedding in Mystic CT. Our guest LOVED the dood and actually commented it was one if the best they had ever experienced ...
at a wedding. My daughter asked if they would make her Dad’s chicken recipe and they said absolutely! Their chef prepared it spot on and guest have asked us for the recipe! The beef was excellent too!!! The Bar never had a line of waiting guest - Bartenders were smiling and quick! The floor staff was GREAT and got all the meals served quickly and piping hot!
We were paired with Catherine as our coordinator from the beginning planning to the day of… they matched us well! Catherine is calm, she gives suggestions, nothing is a problem!
I could not have asked for a better person to work with!
The day was magical and everything went smoothly! Excellent TEAM!
I have 2 more weddings and if they decide to have it in Mystic - I would call A Thyme to cook and I would request Catherine again!
We had such a wonderful experience with A Thyme To Cook for our wedding! Our coordinator, Catherine, was incredibly helpful throughout the entire planning process—organized, respon...
sive, and genuinely invested in making our day special. The food was absolutely delicious and served right on time, and the staff were so professional and kind.
Our wedding day turned out to be much windier than expected, but the team didn’t miss a beat. They went above and beyond to redesign our floor plan and pivot in real time to keep everything running smoothly. Our guests raved about the food and service, and Catherine kept us calm and reassured despite the weather curveballs.
Our cake was absolute perfection—so beautifully designed and one of my favorite parts of the entire day. The team also added unexpected, personal touches throughout the presentation, incorporating special details that made everything feel uniquely “us.” We’re so grateful for their creativity, professionalism, and care. Highly, highly recommend!
We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with A Thyme To Cook and our planner, Rachel Chaplin. From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect. The food w...
as incredible—every dish was delicious and beautifully presented, and our guests are still raving about it!
Rachel was the absolute best. Her attention to detail, flawless coordination, and calming presence made the entire planning process stress-free and enjoyable. On our wedding day, everything ran smoothly thanks to her expertise and dedication. Rachel was truly our rock. She handled everything with grace and kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes, so we could just soak in every moment. We felt so at ease knowing she was there, and we honestly can’t imagine our day without her. We truly felt cared for every step of the way.
If you’re looking for a caterer and planner who will go above and beyond to make your day amazing, look no further. We would recommend A Thyme To Cook and Rachel Chaplin to anyone—they helped make our wedding unforgettable!

ery dish was delicious, beautifully presented, and received rave reviews from our guests. It was clear that a lot of care and expertise went into every detail.
The entire process was seamless and stress-free. From our initial inquiry to the final event, everything was handled efficiently and professionally. Special thanks to Catherine, our coordinator, who was communicative, attentive, and supportive throughout the whole planning journey. She made sure every question was answered promptly and every detail was taken care of, which made us feel confident and relaxed on our big day.
We highly recommend this caterer to anyone looking for incredible food and top-notch service for their special event!
Thyme to Cook, and our day-of coordinator, Catherine, were exceptional. You spend many hours over many months worrying about minute details of the day of your wedding. There are so...
many things that can go wrong, so many elements you haven’t considered. And why would you! It’s not as if you’ve planned a wedding before. Not only was the service team from Thyme to Cook exceptional, not only were they professional, friendly, attentive, sweet, and warm, but they also anticipated our needs before we knew we needed them. There are a few things that stand out to me above all else when it comes to hospitality, the field that both my (newly married) wife and I work. Those things are warmth, authenticity, and attention to detail. Catherine, Tori, and the rest of the team provided those qualities in spades.
Their offerings were vast, but the base-line options were still of quality. The staff was communicative without overreaching. My mother, allergic to fish and shellfish, says the team was very aware and attentive of her allergies. My 3 year old niece was ecstatic with the wide variety of bread served at the table!
As the groom, we were given special care on the day of the wedding. Our needs were met and beyond. If Thyme to Cook is within your budget, even if they are scraping the ceiling of your budget, I would give this team a serious recommendation. They will be in mind consistently for all of our events moving forward and we will be recommending them verbally to anyone who will listen.
Incredible team to collaborate with and build a menu that aligned with our vision for our wedding day. We had several guests that were celiac and gluten free, and ATTC was more th...
an accommodating to them! We worked with Catherine, incredible communication and coordination with us, the couple, as well as our wedding planner to bring our day to life!
We were so grateful to work with A Thyme to Cook for our wedding at the Eolia Mansion at Harkness Memorial State Park. My husband and I were finishing up grad school while trying t...
o plan our wedding, and had a lack of vision and were very behind in preparation. Our wedding coordinator, Rachel, was not only very understanding of the situation but was extremely organized and helped us quickly get on track with every detail from the catering to linens to the timeline of the day. On top of this, ATTC went above and beyond to create a custom, all-vegan menu for us. I was worried that an entirely vegan menu would not appeal to all guests and wanted the food to be both filling and satisfying. All of my fears were put to rest with the menu that they created, with some highlights including vegan pierogis, a lentil “beef” Wellington, and a vegan lasagna that my very traditional Italian grandma raved about, not even realizing it was vegan. The all-vegan dessert spread was also incredible and were truly the best vegan desserts I have ever tried and wish I could eat again. All of our guests continue to tell us how amazing the food and service was, which speaks to the ability of ATTC to expertly execute a highly customized/non-traditional menu. Our wedding day ran smoothly and was extremely enjoyable for us because of all of the hard work that Rachel and the entire team put in that day facilitate every detail and transition. Rachel coordinated with our DJ and florist and we did not have to worry about anything. We would 10/10 recommend!
Thyme to cook was excellent. From their superb wedding coordinator , Catherine, the professional staff to the delicious food, we could not have had a more PERFECT day. If you nee...
d a superior catering company, it should be Thyme to Cook.
We could not be more thankful for A Thyme To Cook as our caterer and our incredible coordinator, Rachel. From our very first call, we felt how much they cared about understanding u...
s as a couple and ensuring that what we valued most would come to life on our wedding day. What they delivered not only matched our high expectations but far exceeded them.
Rachel was especially key to bringing our vision to life. She was professional, thoughtful in her recommendations, and completely supportive every step of the way. She was also incredibly communicative throughout the planning process, always making herself available to answer questions, talk through decisions, or simply provide reassurance. She made the entire experience as stress free as possible, which we deeply appreciated since we we planned the wedding ourselves.
The food was outstanding. From cocktail hour to dinner, every dish was beautifully presented and truly delicious. Guests are still raving about the charcuterie station, dinner, and the late-night churro bar (we are big foodies so having delicious food and cocktails was highly important to us).
The entire staff on the day of the wedding was polite and attentive. No one was ever waiting for a drink, which was important! Also, what made A Thyme To Cook even more unique was them providing us with our own day of attendant who allowed us to enjoy every moment without needing to worry about a thing. For example, having our signature drinks and a spread of apps ready for us immediately following the ceremony. Their team made everything feel effortless and gave us the chance to be fully present.
What stood out most was how cared for we felt. Rachel anticipated needs we did not even know we had, and her thoughtfulness helped bring our vision to life in a way that felt uniquely us.
A Thyme To Cook and Rachel helped create an unforgettable celebration that we will cherish forever. We wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for not just exceptional food, but a team that genuinely cares about making your day as special as it can be.
We don’t even have the words to describe how grateful we are for our day of event coordinator, Dee. From the very beginning, Dee was so attentive, kind, and reassuring, always maki...
ng herself available to answer our questions, calm our nerves, and remind us that everything would fall into place. She didn’t just plan a wedding; she helped create our wedding, one that truly reflected who we are. Her attention to detail and the way she went above and beyond for us never went unnoticed. On the day itself, she made sure we felt comfortable, cared for, and able to be fully present in every moment. Even both of our moms, who notice everything and don’t hand out compliments lightly, kept raving about how amazing she was and how smoothly everything ran. We were blown away by her dedication and heart, and we cannot imagine our wedding without her. She’s not only incredible at what she does, she’s someone who genuinely cares. Five stars don’t feel like enough.

mized the most perfect menu. They helped bring our vision to life through amazing food, coordinating many of the rentals, and fabulous service throughout the event. We got so many amazing compliments on the food and we would highly recommend ATTC for any event.
Please look no further than ATTC and Rachel Leyland!! 10/10 FANTASTIC !! When planning our wedding at Eolia Mansion at Harkness State Park we were offered a list of 5 caterers. I r...
ead many reviews and noted how highly praised ATTC was rated and I’m so thankful for others taking the time to review this company because we are so incredibly fortunate we chose them for our wedding day. From the first phone call with Juli, she was extremely kind, helpful, and patient. She thoughtfully took the time to listen to our ideas of food preferences while being conscious of our budget. Fast forward to a few months later we were paired with an event coordinator who was the STAR of the show!! If you are ever lucky enough to be matched with Rachel Leyland you will be in the absolute BEST hands throughout the planning process and the day of. I truly cannot express enough praise for Rachel. She was a key role in bringing my vision to life that day and keeping me calm and updated throughout the process. She was so organized, kind, compassionate, a true joy to work with! Any time I had (what felt like a silly question or request) she was there immediately to answer and reassure me. She and the staff were SO attentive the day of, including a designated staff member for just the bridal party keeping you fed and hydrated. Every single thing was perfect from start to finish with this team. Their attention to detail does not go unnoticed. The food was incredible!! We still have guests a month later raving about how phenomenal everything tasted. They did such a professional job handling any dietary allergies or preferences. Their team worked together so efficiently and were so kind to us. We couldn’t be more grateful for the time and efforts Rachel and the ATTC team took in making our wedding a dream come true. I give the highest praise and recommendation in choosing ATTC for your big day!
This caterer does it all! Lex and her team go beyond catering, they help bring your wedding to life and coordinate with all your vendors. We did not have a wedding planner and did ...
not feel the need for one because a thyme to cook and Lex handled so much for us.
My husband and I got married in June of this year at Eolia Mansion and we were just so lucky to work with A Thyme to Cook and Rachel.
The expertise of ATTC was essential in making...
our day what it was especially as venue is a historical location that can present some challenges. However, they were no issue for this team!
During the planning process Rachel was incredibly responsive and supportive! Rachel helped us bring not only our culinary dreams to life but truly the entire event! We are just so so grateful for everything Rachel did to help make our wedding so special and perfect!
Our friends and family continue to rave about the incredible meal and snacks that they enjoyed throughout the evening. Everything was incredibly fresh and cooked to perfection. As we were running around all throughout the night we had the kindest attendant who ensured we got to enjoy all of the amazing food and always had our favorite drinks in hand.
Thank you to the entire ATTC team!

many of the guests. The catering staff are all friendly and professional. We were so grateful for the support of Rachel Leyland (Event Coordinator) who is a delight to work with! She is both easy going and highly organized. A shout out also to Allan and Becky; your help was invaluable. In addition to impeccable food service, the staff did an amazing job bringing all the design elements together for a stunning visual experience. 5 + stars!
We cannot thank A Thyme To Cook—especially our coordinator, Lex—enough for their outstanding work on our Mystic-area wedding. From the very first tasting to the last plate cleared,...
the team was organized, responsive, and an absolute joy to work with.
They pride themselves on creative, seasonal food, gorgeous presentation, and true culinary passion—and that’s exactly what they delivered. Every course was thoughtfully composed and beautifully plated, and our guests are still raving about the flavors from cocktail hour through dessert. The bar team crafted cocktails tailored to perfection, and the entire event felt truly bespoke—menu, timing, and service were all customizable to our vision. Just as impressive, they seamlessly accommodated a wide range of dietary needs without compromise; vegan, gluten-free, nut-free, and other requests were handled with care so everyone felt included and excited about their meal. They were also wonderfully attentive to our multicultural celebration, happily incorporating a Filipino lumpia bite and a thoughtful nod to Indian flavors that honored our families.
Lex was our MVP. She anticipated needs before we voiced them, kept vendors in sync, built a clear timeline, and stayed calm and solutions-focused when the day got busy. Service was polished and warm, the bar ran smoothly, and the entire flow of the evening felt effortless—so we could actually relax and enjoy our celebration.
If you’re getting married in the Mystic/Stonington area, book A Thyme To Cook without hesitation. You’ll eat incredibly well, your guests will gush, and you’ll feel truly taken care of from planning to last call. Ten out of ten—would choose them again in a heartbeat.
Better than we could've imagined! ATTC was great all around from selecting our custom menu, accommodating our budget, and coordinating our day! Our guests raved about the food and ...
the level of service was more than we expected! They even made sure our guests with food allergies were accommodated and informed of the options! Dee was our coordinator and she went above and beyond for us! She made sure out vision came to life. Everything went smoothly and we had zero stress on the day because of her!
TLDR: A Thyme to Cook was an absolutely incredible caterer and day of coordinator (shout out to Catherine!! you angel!!). They are not cheap, but we definitely got what we paid for...
and couldn't have been happier.
Our venue was the Eolia Mansion at Harkness Memorial – because this was a historic venue, we were limited to only 6 approved caterers, one of which was ATTC. We ended up going with them because we felt like they offered the most inclusive service, they definitely embraced our unique vision, and since we didn’t have a wedding planner, we knew we wanted a day-of coordinator to ensure things went smoothly.
We got married in May, and we STILL are having guests rave to us about the quality of the food, the professionalism of the service, and just the beauty of everything (ATTC did the setup of our décor!). We had a wildflower theme, which they embraced and helped us see through with many colorful napkin choices/coordinated tablecloths, set up our candles/hurricanes, arranged our memorial table, and displayed our signage. Every single member of the staff was SO KIND and SO GOOD at their role.
Due to a staffing change, our coordinator changed unexpectedly 2 months before our big day. I’ll be honest when I say I wasn’t thrilled (we had spent months/hours planning and meeting), but I feel truly blessed that we had Catherine. Even when I was a pain from the stress of it all, she handled my concerns with grace and made me feel heard and valued. Food waste is something my hubs and I care deeply about – she personally made sure that all food scraps went to a farm for pigs to enjoy. No waste! And when the bar was busy, she hopped behind and started pouring drinks herself. She kept our rowdy party on task and even saved the day when my girls couldn’t bustle my dress. Catherine personally was a godsend, and we are so grateful she put up with us!
For transparency, we paid a little over 40k for ~140 guests. We had a raw bar, lobster roll, and some other premium add ons, and I feel like with the service we got, it was worth every penny. The dinners were great portion sizes and delicious, the apps were the BEST (all of our guests couldn’t get over the options and quality), and the dessert bar was fabulous. We even did late-night breakfast sams to go. They did our cake too - it was SO BEAUTIFUL and aesthetically perfect with our theme. There’s nothing I would change! It was perfect from start to finish. I would absolutely recommend ATTC, especially if you are getting married at Eolia ;-) thank you for everything!!!
Our experience with Jessica and ATTC was perfect from start to finish. Jessica and the ATTC team worked closely with us to create the perfect menu (and help to coordinate rentals!)...
for our wedding day and they were so accommodating throughout the entire process. And the food was INCREDIBLE - our guests raved about it!! We are so grateful for our experience and would choose ATTC again and again :)
Outstanding start to finish. We cannot say enough amazing things about A Thyme to Cook and the role they played in making our wedding absolutely perfect. From the very first conve...
rsation, their team was warm, kind, and incredibly responsive. They listened to our vision, offered thoughtful suggestions, and were so accommodating with every little detail and change along the way.
A huge shout-out to Catherine, our coordinator, who was an absolute rock star! Catherine was not only organized and on top of every detail, but she also made the entire planning process feel stress-free and enjoyable. She answered every question quickly, anticipated needs we hadn’t even thought of, and always made us feel like our wedding was her top priority. On the big day, she executed everything flawlessly with a calm, reassuring presence — we knew we were in the best hands.
The food itself was fresh, beautifully presented, and delicious. Every plate looked like it came out of a fine-dining restaurant, and the service was seamless.
If you want a catering team that is professional, creative, and genuinely cares about your day as much as you do, A Thyme to Cook is the one. They went above and beyond in every possible way, and we are forever grateful for their role in making our wedding unforgettable.
After trying 3 different vendors we chose a Thyme to Cook for our wedding. Alexis was our events coordinator that we were assigned. She was the most personable, reliable and caring...
person to work alongside us planning our big day. The food was hands down the best wedding food we have ever eaten. Numerous people came up to us after the wedding raving about the food. Alexis and the whole team made setting up the venue and coordinating the ceremony stress free for me. I can not thank Alexis and her team enough for the professionalism they displayed throughout the whole night. 10 out of 10 would recommend!
Rachel and the team at ATTC truly brought our dream wedding to life - our wedding is etched into memory with so much love and happiness and nothing would have been possible without...
our coordinator Rachel. For over a year, she went above and beyond in helping me plan, bounce ideas off of, and have complete trust in helping bring my vision to life. She was even the life of the party the whole wedding weekend! ATTC has utter attention to detail and you can tell they craft their menus with passion. They truly are a full service caterer. I could never show my gratitude enough! Thank you ATTC and a special thank you to my girl Rachel!
Rachel and a thyme to cook were so spectacular! From planning to execution of the big day was 11/10! Could not be happier with the way everything turned out! Beyond grateful for th...
is team - there hard work and the amazing food. Everyone from my wedding was raving about the food especially the cocktail hour!
There are not enough amazing words to say about Rachel and the team at A Thyme to Cook! First off let us start by saying THANK YOU for fully turning our picture perfect dream wedd...
ing into a reality. From start to end they made our wedding day feel like our dream. They were a constant support, creative eye, and sounding board through the whole process, there for any question we had and helping us think through all of the little details we didn’t think of ourselves. They were beyond organized and helpful throughout the whole process. Rachel made sure no matter all the was going on and the busy summer season to check in and make us feel reassured about how smoothly everything would run. From our rehearsal walkthrough, to setting up our reception, to the multiple phone calls to work out the perfect timeline for our day, the team and Rachel demonstrated their attention to detail and full understanding of the guest and our experience. They truly made the day go off without a hitch and made everyone including Brian and I feel so special.
The food as well was AMAZING! Our guests had nothing but amazing things to say leaving our wedding. A Thyme to Cook hosted us for the most welcoming tasting where we were able to work hand in hand with the team to fully customize our menu to cater to the food and vision we had for our wedding day. It was so special to be able to work with planners and chefs to customize the exact menu we had envisioned that captured a little bit about who we were through the food we served. From presentation to timeliness of serving through the dinner service and desert it was flawless! I don’t think there was a single plate really unfinished. The team also did such an amazing job making sure that even through the craziness of our special day Brian and I had the opportunity to try and enjoy all the food we selected as well.
I really do not have enough positive things to say about Rachel and the Thyme to Cook team. Our day would not have been made possible without their creativeness, attention to detail, organization and professionalism through the whole process. They truly were so amazing to work with and we cannot recommend them enough!

A Thyme to Cook truly exceeded expectations and I cannot recommend them enough. From the first call where Juli helped us to brainstorm on the perfect menu that captured us and our ...
relationship, to the hands-on support we got throughout the wedding process from our coordinator, Dee, ATTC went above and beyond in every way and we could not have done it without them!
Dee is a professional through and through but has an amazing way of making you feel like you're both her best friend and the only wedding she cares about. She's down to earth and calm, yet fun and willing to tell you what she actually thinks about an idea you have. If you're thinking about getting married at Harkness State Park, look no further - you must book ATTC and request Dee.
Leading up to our wedding, it was nothing but heavy rain in the forecast. ATTC was there to help manage through all of it and help manage through the emotions of a less-than-ideal weather forecast. Dee took it into her own hands to brainstorm three different rain plans and walked us through all the details the night before. Day of, she acted quick, made all the right decisions and hit the perfect balance of letting us know what was going on without overwhelming us.
The food was amazing, the staff so kind and always on standby with more food or drink, and they all embraced the quirks of our wedding with big smiles. The guests are still raving about the bao bun station at cocktail hour and my husband and I can't stop talking about how lucky we were to find ATTC and get matched with Dee and team.
Book ATTC - you won't regret it!

We definitely would go with ATTC again, and have been receiving a ton of comments on how delicious and put together all the food and drinks were. Catherine kept the flow of the wedding on track and was such a joy to work with!
The entire team at ATTC is incredible. Dee in particular is stellar! She knew exactly what our vision was for our wedding and always went above and beyond for us. Would 1000% recom...

igned a custom menu that really represented us and and our guests raved about it! But what truly them apart was our coordinator, Dee. She went above and beyond for us from the beginning and I can say by the end of our wedding she felt like family. The entire staff was attentive and created an unforgettable atmosphere. We couldn’t have asked for a better team!
ATTC was amazing from start to finish. When I initially inquired, Julie was so helpful on the process of creating a sample menu. She helped curate the perfect representation of us-...
we were blown away! We knew ATTC was the right choice. From there, Dee was our coordinator. Dee is AMAZING. She is so upbeat, motivated, and really makes you feel so taken care of as a couple. She is so personable and sweet- we felt as though we were being taken care of by a close friend. Dee went above and beyond for us at our tasting, our rehearsal dinner, and on our wedding day. Truly a godsend. She coordinated our day perfectly, keeping my stress low and keeping everything running. Dee even cleaned the bottom of my dress and bustled it for me for the reception. When you work with Dee, you get so much more than a coordinator. All of our guests couldn’t say enough great things about her, and honestly, neither can we!! It’s impossible to find someone who TRULY cares about your wedding day- unless it’s Dee. Thank you for everything!!

Paige, Dee and others at ATTC did a fantastic job capturing the exact vision we had for our wedding at Saltwater Farm Vineyard! It was even better than we could have asked for! As ...
soon as we saw the set up for the ceremony and reception we were in awe at how stunning it was! Paige was so easy to work with and very communicative throughout our wedding planning journey. She really helped us to think through things we may have forgotten on our own. We loved that we were able to pick out exactly what we wanted for the menu, and even customize to add in a hors d’oeuvre that was not on there! We specifically wanted soup dumplings to remind us of our trip when we got engaged, and ATTC was able to make this happen. Additionally, the team went above and beyond even with our music selection to coordinate with the DJ the exact timing for the precessional songs. We loved how there was a designated team member checking in on us throughout the night, bringing us food and drinks when needed! We truly appreciated all the work and can’t recommend ATTC and Paige enough!
Love, Sam & Taylor
A Thyme To Cook hands down is the best catering company you could hire. The food was delicious and the staff were incredible. Dee was my coordinator and I could not write enough ki...
nd words about her. She went above and beyond making sure my vision came to life and that my wedding day was stress free. She made if feel like she was just one of my besties who was there to make sure the day went smoothly. She is amazing at what she does and made me and my bridal party feel incredibly comfortable. I trust Dee with my life!
A Thyme To Cook… where do I begin? First of all, this app needs a 6-star option for vendors like ATTC. From day one, every interaction with every member of the team was filled with...
warmth, personality, and passion for cuisine and this industry. Our experience with this caterer extended light years beyond any expectation we could have had for any caterer.
Communication - We began with some phone calls to discuss our vision every idea was met with a “yes!” or gentle recommendations (and they were right about literally everything). We wanted creative cuisine and they matched our excitement, presenting ideas that just left us speechless. We then had periodic phone calls and email exchanges over the following months and ATTC tracked everything, extending far beyond the details of the caterer menu. A week before the wedding our coordinator Dee spent two hours on the phone going through every detail of the day. This was critical for our peace of mind - that someone else knew everything. As a couple without a planner, this honestly MADE our wedding.
The food - Insane. Incredible. Completely and totally mind-blowingly creative and flavorful. ATTC understands food. LOVES food. Plays with food. And the presentation? Unmatched. Go on their Instagram… It’s unbelievable. We and our guests were blown away. I’m still upset days later that I only scarfed down 12 blackberry-cries-honey tartlets…
The service - Someone should seriously study their job interview process and market it. Every staff member on our wedding day was a consummate professional that went above and beyond to make our day perfect. Smiles, gracious service, and problem-solving on the fly - absolutely seamless service and execution. I have NEVER seen anything like it. I felt like each person was personally invested in making our day the most beautiful possible.
Individual mentions:
Juli - This woman understands food in a way I never will. The ideas that floated out of her from day one were pure genius.
Katherine - Our coordinator’s right hand woman was a steady force for efficiency. She also hid behind a shrub during our ceremony to guide our flower girls who almost took a wrong turn.
Becky - ATTC allocates one staffer to be the newlywed’s helper and I don’t know how anyone has a wedding without Becky by their side. She asked my now-husband for my favorite drink orders and she somehow found out I wanted those tartlets, so she presented me my favorite drink and a plate of those things just for me right after the ceremony. I once held out my hand and she just dropped a drink in it wordlessly. She also did the same with a tissue with I got teary mid sentence. Becky was the perfectly combination of industrious, friendly, and funny that made me feel like ATTC hired us a friend.
Dee Jayne - I don’t have words for the impact Dee had over the course of our wedding planning experience. She is warm. She is passionate. She has more creativity in one finger than I have in my whole body. Time and time again she provided insight and ideas that stretched beyond the catering world, getting in the planning trenches and providing solutions. On the day, she and her team collected all of the decor we brought and set it up for us, making it look 1000x better than I could have ever done. She was my external brain, organizing and scheming to make the day perfect and she did it.
On their wedding day, everyone deserves a Dee and ATTC. Absolutely zero regrets choosing this company.
LOOK NO FURTHER - A Thyme to Cook is the best catering service you can find. They happened to be the first one I called and the first thing I booked after we chose our venue, Saltw...
ater Farm Vineyard. I called other catering options, but I always went back to the first conversation in my mind that I had with Juli. She really painted the picture of what I wanted for my wedding. Our wedding date was 10/4/24 and Juli said, “Okay, so it’s fall in New England. Your guests arrive to apple cider and water before being seated in the vineyard.” I was hooked. A Thyme to Cook’s reviews spoke for themselves, but I also felt extremely lucky when I was paired with Paige as my coordinator. Not only did she make the day of my wedding run as seamless as possible, but she also answered all of my paragraph long emails leading up to the wedding. She was the most important person I was working with throughout this whole experience since I was planning the wedding myself and not using a planner. Because of her I felt confident in how everything was slowly coming together despite having no idea what I was doing myself. She helped me work on timelines, ensure I had all of my vendors set, and was instrumental in making my dream wedding come to life. I was complimented as being a very chill bride and I have to say that’s mostly in part to Paige and being so incredible at her job. We did so much work up front and she knew my vision so I was able to trust her and watch it all come to life. The food itself is also incredible. Not only will the food and drinks taste amazing, but also the presentation of them is something your guests will rave about. To be greeted by the apple cider station (with the option to spike it) was a huge hit and great way to introduce our guests to our big day. The cocktail hour ran super smoothly and the food was a huge hit. I have never seen a larger piece of steak at a wedding reception and it was just as good as our tasting experience. One thing I was also very excited about was our cider donut wall. It was the perfect fall dessert for our guests to enjoy and also snag on their way out. Also shout out to Sarah from the catering staff who made sure the bride and groom’s glasses were always full, we never had to go to the bar for a drink or food. I cannot recommend this caterer enough. I promise you will be in the best of hands and your guests will be blown away by the experience. If you book A Thyme to Cook, know that you’re getting much more than a caterer, you’re getting a vendor that will help walk you through the entire process and it’s worth every penny.

e paired with! Dee did site visits with us, worked closely with my wedding planner, and made my vision come to life. Dee made sure everything was exactly how we wanted it! Not to mention the food (especially the short ribs) were top notch!
From the start, working with A Thyme to Cook was an incredible experience. Juli took the time to get to know us and our preferences, designing a menu that reflected our favorite fo...
ods and flavors perfectly. We had concerns about dietary restrictions and allergies, but Juli and the team made sure everything was accommodated without any compromise on taste. Her creativity and attention to detail made the whole process feel personalized and stress-free.
As we moved further into the planning stages, Paige took over, and her expertise was invaluable. From our food tasting to the actual wedding day, she guided us through everything with such professionalism. She helped with rentals, answered all our questions and concerns promptly, and even stopped by our rehearsal to check in and reassure us that everything was set for the big day.
The entire team worked seamlessly with our other vendors, and we felt completely at ease knowing they had everything under control. The food was incredible, the service impeccable, and we truly didn’t have to worry about a thing. If you want experts who will leave your guests raving about the food and drinks, we highly recommend A Thyme to Cook!

oking for a caterer, my partner and I were looking for something within budget with flexibility and tasty food. We had no idea what we would end up with was also a wonderful team of cooks and servers, hands down the best wedding food either of us have ever had, a group of people eager and willing to help with set up and tear down, and an event coordinator of our dreams. Jessica, our event coordinator, was every bit supportive, communicative, involved, and gracious. She helped make every single one of our wedding day dreams come true, while offering endless kindness and support throughout the process. Every single text, call, and email was answered so quickly and kindly, and I never felt alone!
I can't recommend the quality and variety of food from A Thyme to Cook enough. But much more than that, the people absolutely made our day. From our first contact with A Thyme to Cook, all the way to our evening-of server, the team at A Thyme to Cook blew us away. I would hands down, without reservations, recommend A Thyme to Cook for any and all events and special ocassions.

Worked with A Thyme to Cook for my wedding at Eolia Mansion 8/17/24. This team was so so great to work with! Dee Jayne our coordinator from ATTC was fun and energetic and made sure...
all details were executed exactly how we wanted them. From set up to break down this team was awesome and they allowed so much flexibility and customization throughout the process and worked with our third party vendors seamlessly. The food was AMAZING. We did a tasting prior and the day of wedding food somehow tasted even better than when we went in for a tasting. All of our guests loved the apps and their meals. I really could not say one bad thing about working with this group. Truly made our day go without a hitch! If you’re considering, you will not regret working with them!!
