Big Tree Catering
Fantastic Portland Venue & Delicious Food
Big Tree, Chris and the entire team are absolutely amazing. We used Big Tree for our wedding last September in Maine and they crushed it. The team is very hands on and on top of everything. Chris had excellent communication throughout the process as well. We truly did not have to worry about one thing when it came to the catering aspect of our day. Our guests were also blown away by the presentation and food. We heard over and over again that it was the best food guests have had at a wedding. Thank you so much Chris and the team!
We are so thrilled we went with Big Tree for our rehearsal dinner, welcome party, and reception. Genuinely SO delicious (we heard from at least a dozen guests that our food was the best food they’d ever had at a wedding). We also loved working with Chris and his team—they made things very easy and were extremely accommodating. I wish we could eat our wedding meal again because it was seriously that good.
