We hired David Alan for our wedding in Middletown, CT in February. The process of working with David Alan was rocky at times (we had issues with communication, extra/unexpected ch...
arges, and missing/not communicated information from the contract). With that being said, DAHG was able to fix or adjust much of the issues. The day of the wedding was lovely. DAHG's servers and waitstaff were exceptional, super eager to please and help. Our bridal attendant was incredible, she was present, visible, kind, thoughtful, and so helpful. We cannot say enough good things about the staff and service. The food was also so yummy. Our guests reported it was the best wedding food they have ever had - honorable mentions to the short ribs dinner, the pork belly donut passed app, the Korean Street Food station, and the bacon wrapped scallops. The portions were also huge, everyone was well fed! Overall, we would recommend David Alan to other couples or to anyone looking for a high quality caterer!

nd a buffet dinner with garlic thyme chicken, teres major, garlic mashed potatoes, rigatoni ala vodka, and sautéed green beans. We also had a charcuterie platter that was so fresh and presented beautifully! Everything was so fresh and delicious. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how good the food was!
The staff was incredibly professional, friendly, and attentive to us and our guests all night. My husband and I had a personal attendant that made sure our plates and glasses were never empty. They made sure everything ran smoothly and that we always had what we needed. It really allowed us to relax and enjoy our day. I want to shoutout Meghan, Ashley and Rachel for being so easy to reach throughout the planning process. Your professionalism is incredible.
We couldn’t be happier with our experience and would 100% recommend David Alan Hospitality Group to anyone looking for great food and amazing service on their wedding day!

We chose a family‑style service for our smaller guest list, and it felt both intimate and generous. The food was consistently delicious, and multiple guests told us it was the best wedding food ever. Everything felt personal, polished, and heartfelt—and David Alan Hospitality, with Ashley guiding us, truly helped turn our wedding into a wonderful and absolutely beautiful day.

When our grandma couldn't get up from her chair to see the dessert table, they took pictures of it their phones and helped her pick which treats she'd like, then brought her that selection on a platter. They also did this for her during cocktail hour, with the passed appetizers. Fabulous service.

During the entire planning process, Meghan was incredibly responsive and attentive and made sure all of our questions and concerns were addressed in a timely manner. The menu options that David Allen offers are wide ranging, very well priced and very friendly to food allergies and sensitivities. David Allen was very flexible and helped us design a menu that was true to our desires and accommodated our budget. Our catering manager and all of the catering staff were incredible and helped our wedding day go exactly as we hoped for. The staff went above and beyond to take care of us and our guests throughout the entire night. Our food was absolutely amazing and we continue to get compliments from friends and family about how good the dishes were and how nice the catering staff were. We would definitely recommend David Allen.

They stopped at nothing to make sure our food vision came to life. David Alan is one of the best decisions we could have made when planning our wedding. Special shoutout to Rachel who went above and beyond to coordinate, answer our many questions and help us to plan.

We loved our food at the tasting and it was just as good, if not better, the day of. Many guests, even 1 month later, are still complimenting us on how amazing the food was. Sometimes at weddings the food can be sub-par, but I can truthfully say that David Alan's food is incredibly delicious.

David Alan was the caterer of our dreams. They were so much more than the absolutely fantastic food. From the tasting to table settings, ceremony set-up to reception coordination, ...
they made our wedding the most beautiful day. Jenaya took care of every detail in planning down to the smallest details of our menu and up to coordinating the ceremony and reception for our large indoor winter wedding in a multi-roomed mansion. Rachel was our day-of coordinator, and we couldn’t have done it without her! We did our own décor, and she set it up for us, accomplishing a magical feel that we couldn’t have imagined ahead of time. We had some vendors come late, and Rachel took the worry right out of our hands, commanding us to enjoy the day and getting all our vendors together in the background, without a hitch! Every single thing we discussed ahead of time – setting up family photos, arranging our guest table flowers, timing for lighting our candles, and moving chairs without getting in the way of our guests in an already tight indoor space – was done and then some. And at the end of the night, Rachel had us all packed up by the time we had finished saying goodbye to our last guest – we made it to the after party without delay! Rachel is enthusiastic and detailed-oriented, and we were so grateful she was there with us for our day. And finally, Allie was our bridal attendant. She was so kind to us. She took care to reassure me when my emotions threatened to overwhelm me right before walking into the ceremony, handed us our signature drink the minute the wedding ended, and made sure we were fueled by snacks for the entire evening while we visited with our family and friends and danced the night away. David Alan could’ve told us over and over that things couldn’t be done – we couldn’t fit all our guests into the configuration we wanted for our dinner, or that they couldn’t help with our décor (these were all things we heard from other caterers when we interviewed them) and they never did. They helped us to plan the perfect wedding day, making sure the vision we had was achievable, and taking care of even the smallest details for a perfect day. We are so grateful, and we would recommend them to anyone planning a wedding of their own!

The bartenders even hand delivered us drinks before last call which I thought was so nice. Our guests had clean plates by the end of dinner they loved the food so much. Can't recommend enough!

lan a menu that met my high standards for food but also fell within our budget. A couple months out from the wedding, our friends and family are still talking about how amazing the food was, especially the passed hors d'oeuvres at cocktail hour. One guest even remarked that the mashed potatoes served were the best he's ever eaten.
I would also like to point out that I did not have a wedding planner, and that I got married at a barn venue with no on-site employees. I cannot thank the DAHG staff enough for acting not only as my caterer but event coordinator as well. I sent them a spreadsheet schedule and they worked seamlessly with our band and photographer to ensure the day's events flowed smoothly. I cannot tell you how much stress was alleviated from me knowing that they had everything under control. I really feel they went above and beyond in this regard. Our head waitress even helped mop up the bathroom floor after an overflow in the ladies' room... 100% not her responsibility but much appreciated!!

He was fabulous!
We are giving 4 stars, not 5 because communication was hard at points leading up to our day. The person assigned to us could only speak through email, not the phone. When we went for our tasting we also got some weird vibes from her. This is not to take away from the amazing service we actually received. We just felt that seating information shouldn’t have been asked for 2 days before our wedding and contractual dates were DA’s responsibility to reach out to us about. They missed the ball on some big things. It all ended up fine. Just being transparent.

When thinking back on my wedding, specifically working with David Alan, the first word that comes to mind is “attentiveness.” My wife and I never had to worry about David Alan miss...
ing a single detail. Kudos to Rachael, who was professional, polite and reassuring in every email and phone call.
If you’re reading this review, you’re probably about to plan a wedding and you’re probably realizing that catering is going to be the most expensive line item on the bill so you don’t want to mess it up. I can confidently say, David Alan was a 10/10 experience – absolutely exceptional in every way. Wedding food usually is average at best, but that wasn’t the case with David Alan. A week after our wedding and we still get the occasional text from friends “The food was AWESOME! Please tell me you saved some apps that I can get from you!” And I’m able to personally vouch for that, despite the cliché that the married couple doesn’t eat, because Rachael made sure we had apps set aside for us to eat in private and our entrees waiting for us as well.
Excellent food, excellent service and a genuine attention to detail that my wife and I will never forget. BEYOND happy with our experience!

David Alan was a dream to work with from start to finish. They were professional, helped with every question I had over the course of 2.5 years, and of course the food was PHENOMEN...
AL. Absolutely perfect. The cost was just an added bonus, more than reasonable. They decorated our venue exactly how I asked. The staff was SO KIND; I had guests comment after the wedding how wonderful the waitstaff was. At one point, I couldn't locate our day-of coordinator (different vendor) and their point person went above and beyond and made sure to grab my groom and I drinks so we didn't have to get up during dinner which wasn't her job per se. Hands down recommend this company 10/10 to anyone considering them. They were truly exceptional and one of our top notch vendors for all of our wedding festivities. You won't be disappointed. BOOK THEM!

Flawless. At first, we choose David Alan Hospitality Group (DAHG) for our wedding based on our initial feelings—food was amazing, staff was friendly & helpful, reviews were great. ...
As time went on, it began to feel like it was a privilege and an honor to be able to work with DAHG. There actually aren’t enough positive adjectives to describe DAHG.
We have two viewpoints: One of your common wedding planning and one of a global pandemic.
When we thought we were having planning our original 2020 wedding, the staff DAHG was patient, understanding, kind, helpful, supportive, available. I was in contact with Meghan, who was handling our 2020 wedding and we had the privilege of meeting Rachael during our tasting. The food quality at the tasting was AMAZING—we took whatever was left home, nothing disappointed. Anything we wanted, any kitchen notes we wanted to make, was taken into consideration, and held at high regard.
We booked them in 2019 for our 2020 wedding and then pivoted to 2021 due to the pandemic. When we made this decision, the staff of DAHG was compassionate and understanding and always helpful. During this transition to 2021, Rachael took over as our “go to” person. Rachael was there to ease our minds and worries, help up pivot to a safe wedding of our dreams, listen to me when I asked a million questions, respond to all those questions with patience and knowledge. She was there, along for the ride, and, on what felt like a very long journey, felt more like a friend. I don’t imagine that it is ease to work in a hospitality field—dealing with so many personalities and people—but Rachael has an understanding and belief that each couple is just as important as the next. She was.. she is amazing.
Although knowing the catering company is made of little miracle workers, it is also very important to note FOOD. We are a family who loves food. And we must say THE FOOD WAS AMAZING. 5 people in 2 hours texted me to tell me that the filet was like butter! The quality of the food and presentation was at utmost importance to DAHG and you could tell in every dish.
I can sit here and type a 5 page review on how much we loved DAHG and how satisfied we were with them. But, in short, if you need a caterer, don’t bother looking anywhere else—just go to DAHG.

eghan was amazing to work with as she met each challenge with ease. She responded to my many emails and phone calls promptly, and she was always willing to give advice and recommendations whenever I needed it. We knew after our very first consultation with her that she had an abundance of knowledge and experience in the industry which gave us complete confidence in her ability to pull everything together. Meghan was very accommodating in working with us for our menu selection and budget at our tastings. Ultimately, the food was incredibly delicious and the presentation was beautiful, and we received so many compliments from our guests. Adding their wedding day coordination relieved so much stress as Rachael and Meghan headed up the execution of everything and everyone involved. I was thrilled that our ceremony and reception was exactly as I envisioned it to be! Our wedding day was perfect and seamless, and I’m so grateful to all the amazing people at DAHG who made it possible!
