I don't know where to start with Jessica and her team. From day 1 they were knowledgeable and professional. The menu options were diverse (we chose beef and seafood) and the food was soooo good (get their crab cakes). Even on a cool November ev...
ening, they managed to serve us warm food with a smile. The wait staff was unobtrusive and very helpful. The bartenders were fun and willing to make any drink you'd like. Bayside is not the least expensive (nor the most), but I will say they were worth every penny. They even worked with my very rude venue host with a smile and courtesy. I highly recommend Bayside for your event.

I couldn't recommend them more, we are so happy how everything turned out.

out to vendors when needed to help answer your questions. She has made the catering portion of my wedding a breeze. Jim, one of the owners, and Jessica colloborated on making us a menu that fit our budget, but also guiding us on how to get the most out of our wedding food (add this item, delete this one, etc). They were so flexible, as I am indecisive and made many changes. We planned out the wedding day in a meeting with Jessica, who has the venue pulled up with us so we could visualize where things could go. Jessica made me feel so relaxed that my day will go smoothly. The catering staff at other events have been nothing but professional. Bayside Catering is one of a kind and I highly recommend using them for your wedding!! You will not be disappointed.
