We booked Apples2Apples because we liked that it was a little bit fancier than the BBQ option. The food was great and we got lots of compliments on the butternut squash ravioli! It was a bit expensive, but it was the only option we had through our venue. All of the service we received was great, both during the wedding and the planning process. We had one slight problem with the bar but the bartenders were flexible. The representative we worked with recommended 50 seltzers for our 100 guest wedding. Well, they were gone before cocktail hour was over. We found out from guests that they were being charged for seltzers and my mom had to work it out with the bartenders and pay for more because we wanted to host most of the drinks. We just wish we were informed when the seltzers ran out and given the opportunity to fix it before guests started paying.
Apples2Apples provided catering for our wedding and they were fabulous! The food was absolutely delicious and our guests raved about it! The steak crostini’s were wonderful and I wish I had the recipe. The caterers also kept checking in and asking if we needed anything, they were very hospitable. Thank you again!
The food was AMAZING! The head chef came up to the head table during the meal to ask if we needed anything more. One thing I didn't know was that if you have a vegetarian option, guests need to request it in line, which wasn't a problem!
Any questions?
We really enjoyed our experience working with Apples 2 Apples! They were responsive and communicative and always willing to answer questions and provide recommendations/insight. We and all our guests thoroughly enjoyed the food (both the taste and the quality) and were very thankful to have lots of options for gluten-free and vegetarian meals. Our primary con with Apples 2 Apples was the price. Although the food was delicious, we felt the price was a bit steep and were very caught off guard with our initial quote. We would have appreciated a bit more flexibility and transparency in pricing. Overall, the food was a hit and we were very satisfied with our experience!
The simplest praise I can give is that we universally heard from our guests that this was perhaps the best meal they’d ever had at a wedding. In particular, the butternut squash ravioli was a huge hit among both vegetarians who were happy we didn’t phone in their meal option, and non-vegetarians (like the bride) who considered it their favorite option. Everyone was so lovely to work with, allowing us to send some family members to an initial tasting (as we live out-of-state), and hosted a final tasting for us to confirm our menu choices later on. They were flexible with managing allergies, and extremely professional with their table service. The food was absolutely top-notch, and this was at our own family home where they were relegated to the garage to prepare in. We made an excellent choice.
I LOVED Apples 2 Apples Catering! Having celiac disease, I struggle with trusting food made by others. However, the staff at Apples 2 Apples Catering worked with me to ensure everything was safe for me to eat. I cannot thank them enough! Being able to enjoy my meal at my wedding was the best feeling! They work with you every step of the way and they check in with you often! They were so great and easy to work with! If I need a caterer in the future, I will be using Apples 2 Apples Catering! I am happy to say that this caterer IS Celiac SAFE! I highly recommend Apples 2 Apples Catering for ALL catering needs!
We had Apples 2 Apples cater our wedding and it was wonderful. Leading up to the event they were professional and helped us along the way. As a vegan bride, I was particularly happy when I was served specific items outside of our buffet to fit my needs. Everything went smoothly and our guests were very pleased with the food.
We had
-Strawberry Salad
-Green beans
-Red potatoes (fan favorite)
-Red pasta
-Apple & Pecan crusted chicken
We also went with an ice cream bar which was AMAZING.
ABriTin is a must book! They were so incredible to work with for my wedding. The communication and booking process was wonderful, their team felt more like friends, and the food is AMAZING! They problem solved SO many things for me and were so professional in handling every situation. Truly love this team!
James, the Vice President of Operations & Corporate Sales doesn’t even follow the contract that customers sign. He interprets it in his own way and becomes an immovable force threatening clients who are having an issue or needing to cancel for whatever reason and making it as difficult as possible to get anything resolved. He will do everything he can to steal your money.
We were supposed to have an event with them in November of 2022 after having to reschedule due to COVID. After many issues with family members continuing to be concerned about COVID we decided to fully cancel our big wedding and just elope instead. We reached out to A’britin well over the 90 days that they require to let them know of this unfortunate circumstance. We asked them to refund us money that was not stated in our contract as non refundable. We did not ask for The Retainer back (which is stated as non refundable a couple times in the contract) we asked for the Additional Retainer (which is not stated as non refundable) back. We had been told by the consultant we were working with when we were originally thinking of cancelling that we would be getting the Additional Retainer back if we canceled before the 90 day point.
James immediately became incredibly hostile, he did not seem to understand what we were asking for, even though we attempted to tell him numerous times. He insisted that we were simply not agreeing even though the statement in their contract is incredibly clear. He threatened us with lawyers numerous times stating that they would not be refunding us anything even though the contract he kept sending pieces of was very clear that the Additional Retainer we were asking for was not stated as non refundable.
Since they believe they have resolved this issue, we are free to post this review. Please do yourself a favor and DO NOT work with them. They seem friendly and helpful until you have an issue and then you are put in touch with James, who’s email signature is honestly laughable.
His signature states: “We listen to our clients and treat them like family to provide a meaningful, trusting and lasting relationship.”
If this company believes in that statement then the way James is conducting business on their behalf is not representative of their core values. I would not recommend this company to ANYONE, in fact I will be contacting all the vendors who have this company listed on their preferred vendors list and letting them know of this incident and advising them and anyone planning their wedding to steer clear of A’britin Catering and their affiliates.
Apples 2 Apples did dinner at our wedding (and we did drinks through Hitch & Sip too), and they were great! The food was quite good, but the staff were the highlight - they absolutely went out of their way to help make everything go right!
We loved everything about working with this company. Planning went smoothly, all the food was delicious, and they worked with us to make our dreams come true! I would definitely recommend having a late night snack, their recommendation was perfect for our event

Thank you for the kind words Sophia!
Top notch in food and experience! Very professional and Uber accommodating! We LOVED everything about them. Everyone loved all of the food especially and they even served ice cream for us as an additional dessert! I am hoping to hire them again for my next daughter’s wedding. 🙏🤞.

Thank you so much for the kind words!
We absolutely loved working with them on May 1st wedding- they were professional, respectful of COVID-19 protocol, exceptional service to our guests. Our guests absolutely loved the choice of meals and the Hitch & Sip bartenders were absolutely fantastic. Would hire again 10 times over!
