"Above & Beyond" is the understatement of a lifetime! My husband Ben and I were married at the Maine Classic Car Museum in Arundel 8/23/2025. From the very first contact with Gina,...
I was confident we were in good hands. With my Type A personality, I opted out of hiring an actual wedding planner. Without one, I knew I was going to need someone who would be able to guide and support me throughout this 16-month planning process. I had a vision, and Gina made sure I was checking off all the right boxes to bring this vision to life. When the big day finally arrived, Gina and her team made all of our wedding dreams come true!
To better align with the overall vibe of the venue, we wanted to do a cocktail style reception for our 100 guests. We went heavy on the hors d’oeuvres with a mix of stationed and passed apps throughout the night. Our guests continue to reach out to us to tell us what an amazing time they had and to RAVE about all the delicious food and desserts!
The Gin Tin was the perfect addition to our wedding! Aside from the top notch service, it also served as an amazing backdrop in so many of the pictures we have seen. Gina's team cranked out our open bar seamlessly and the mix of having the bar plus passed drinks minimized the need for our guests to take precious time away from enjoying the night!
I cannot complete this review without a shout out to Angie, our so-very-sweet "stalker" for the evening! She made sure Ben and I were well fed and hydrated but did so in such a way that it was always welcomed. Such a small detail, but something that was greatly appreciated!
Almost a week later, and I am still crying tears of joy when I think about the best day of our lives. It was PERFECT and Gina and her team absolutely rocked it in every way possible! "Best ever" is frequently used as our family and friends talk about the food, the service, the Gin Tin, and our wedding!
If you are in search for a vendor that truly does go above and beyond in every way possible, I highly recommend Above & Beyond Catering. There's a sense of family & friendship with this amazing company and it is obvious they deeply care about the quality of food, service and all the details in between!
Gina and her team were an absolutely perfect fit for our wedding day! They were beyond kind and helpful, and not to mention how delicious the food was. Our guests were talking nons...
top about how yummy dinner was. I can't say enough good things about Gina and how much great advice she provided prior to the wedding and how quick she was to answer any of our questions regarding food or anything else for that matter! I cannot recommend Above and Beyond enough. Thank you ladies!
I can not say enough about working with Gina for our July wedding. We live in Boston so many of our meetings were on the phone but I never worried. She was so responsive and on top...
of things. When the day finally came I was able to completely let go and be in the moment because we trusted her and loved her and her team. We did a buffet which they executed seamlessly. Gina and her team are efficient and detail oriented with also being loving and supportive. She was a large part of what made our day perfect and we could not thank her enough.
Gina and her team at Above & Beyond catered our October 2023 wedding, and we could not have been more impressed. The company name is 100% spot on! (note: the following review may e...
xhaust the supply of positive adjectives out there in the English language, so please bear with us).
We did catering as well as bar service with A&B, and both food & drink were outstanding across the board. Most importantly, our family & friends all seemed to really enjoy everything too. And Gina even surprised us with a harder-to-find wine option that we initially thought wasn’t going to be possible - but nevertheless she made it happen.
Their level of service and quality was evident in much more than just the food. It felt like every little detail was expertly handled, and her team’s experience and level of care really shone through at every step. They even did some necessary things intuitively, which we hadn’t discussed ahead of time with Gina, simply because they knew precisely what needed to happen (whereas we have had zero experience running a wedding before!). From setup to ‘tear down’ they absolutely nailed it.
Also, Gina is such a pleasure to coordinate with, and will help tailor all the multitude of options exactly to your needs, budget, etc. On top of that, she’s just a genuinely lovely person! We’re so glad to know that there are business owners like her out there, running exemplary outfits like Above & Beyond. In the end, they really did achieve exactly what we were hoping for, and we’re so glad we had them at our wedding. If Gina and her rockstar team have availability for your date, just stop looking elsewhere and book with them while you can!
BEYOND thankful for Above & Beyond Catering and Gina Sawtelle. We originally hired them in 2020 when COVID was raging and we weren't able to do tastings. We also were planning a cr...
oss country wedding so we weren't able to travel for tastings or meetings as our wedding got closer. Gina worked with us every step of the way and was so organized and communicative. Countless phone calls, zoom meetings and emails over the past 2 years ended up with a fantastic event. She helped us plan our menu, logistics and timing of meals during the cocktail hour and dinner. She also handled the bar as a part of our catering package. She was so flexible with dietary accommodations for allergies and vegans/vegetarians. Her staff was so friendly and professional and made sure we were always fed and had a drink throughout the night. Highly recommend! Thanks again Gina and team!
long story but ended up not using this vendor 2 weeks before my wedding had to cancel with them because of there no credit card policy lost my 1,000 deposit
We are beyond happy to have found this catering company. The food on our special day exceeded our hopes. Our guests still talk about how delicious the food was. This is exactly wha...
t we were hoping for! Everyone, including Gina was extremely professional and accommodating to us and our guests. Gina remained in contact through the whole process and we felt confident that our needs were being met. We would highly recommend them to anyone who will listen! We know our day was complete because of them.
