Fireside Catering

nized and kept everything going seamlessly! If you are in the market for a special event caterer, I cannot recommend Fireside Catering enough!!

all prep on site but wow, did they deliver! I would highly recommend them to anyone planning an event. The food was all absolutely delicious and we had so many compliments, this was not your typical wedding food that can be underwhelming. Our steaks were all cooked correctly, everything came out at the perfect temperature for the dish including all appetizers, etc. and they had a huge variety to choose from which made the menu really fun. The staff was all so great and it went off without a hitch - we had a number of accommodations for guests and they handled each one with ease. We worked with Katie Ayers and she was amazing every step of the way - always responsive, super organized and on top of things, and all of this with a smile and positive attitude. Katie & Fireside - thank you for giving us such a wonderful experience at our wedding, you knocked it out of the park!

we reached out to Jessica at Fireside and she couldn't have been more helpful. She patiently walked us through all of our options, collaborated with us to add some special touches and even put together a private testing for us when our original caterer claimed they were unable to. The quality of the food, presentation and variety were all top notch. We got a ton of good feedback from our guests about the food and it was a huge relief after getting off to such a rocky start on the catering front. If you have the opportunity to work with Fireside (and specifically Jessica), you shouldn't hesitate to do so. It turned out to be one of the best decisions we made in the wedding planning process!

any great options for guests with allergies and alternate diets as well. Could not have had a better caterer!

ces to make than we had initially thought. Everything on the menu looked great and after some back and forth conversations with Amy, we finally got down to deciding on the Miso Cod and the Beef Tenderloin. Both of these options went down incredibly well with our guests who were full of compliments on both choices. The presentation was great, as was the team at Fireside who ensured that everything with the dining portion of the day ran smoothly. Highly recommended & we are grateful for making things as great on the day as they were! -Bill & Lauren

to turning our ideas into a menu. Our wedding was mid-September and our guests loved that we greeted them with mini-cider donuts in a to-go bag for them to have a bite before the event began. The food was local and matched our season (bisques, fall salads) perfectly.

ng turned out great and all of our guests were RAVING about the food (even still a month later)! We even had our own personal assistant to make sure we were always fed and had anything we wanted all night, and they brought us a plate of all apps during Cocktail hour to make sure we were well fed and got to try everything while taking our photos. She also acted as Day-of-Coordinators on the day of and set up all of our additional decorations and turned out even more beautiful than I imagined! Overall I definitely recommend them for any event you are planning and honestly am already thinking of ways I can have more of their food soon!

menu are outstanding. At both our tasting and our wedding, we were so happy with the quality and presentation of both the appetizers and the entrees, and more importantly how delicious everything was! We also appreciated the extra touches that Fireside included in their package such as the lemonade and iced tea during cocktail hour and cookies and milk for dessert. The catering team the night of the wedding was professional and everything went seamlessly. We were so happy with our choice to book Fireside and would highly recommend them!

cider & cider donut station which was perfect for our fall ceremony. We also loved that we could do a signature drink and the beverage options were seasonally and locally inspired, including some local hard cider from our favorite orchard. Fireside catering is more than just a caterer too. They truly planned and executed our entire event flawlessly. They also did a really great job of ensuring the safety of our micro wedding. We were nervous about having a wedding during the pandemic, but us and our guests felt very safe and comfortable with everything the staff did to ensure everyone's safety. Tim was super helpful with all the planning leading up to the wedding and on the day of went above and beyond to make our wedding run smoothly. We loved everything about our wedding and had the best experience with Fireside Catering.

e amazing, and the appetizers were all so delicious. Fireside might be a little pricier than some other catering options, but you really get what you pay for; the food is exceptional. Jessica was wonderful to work with, and she graciously and quickly answered our MANY questions. She also took great care to make note of all guests with allergies and where they were sitting.

e feel, and they are really good at making sure all dietary needs are met with your selections. I would highly recommend!

what you would hope for from a five-star restaurant. The passed h'orderves are all to-die-for! The staff is freindly, prompt, and professional.

at The Crane Estate was a dream; she made it easy and fun. People are STILL messaging me about the apricot-braised short ribs and how they melted in their mouths. High praise coming from our families of food-obsessed Italian and Indian-Americans. Service was great and the evening flowed seamlessly. If you're in New England and want food that honors the local cuisine, I'd highly recommend Fireside Catering.

lutely delicious food she also helps to organize your day and makes things run very smoothly so you don’t have to worry about a thing. She’s more than just a caterer she’s a godsend! Her staff is very friendly and professional. One nice touch was that she designated one server to be our own personal server for the reception - our server followed us when we were having pictures taken making sure that we got to eat some of the appetizers and always had something to drink. She also made sure that we got back to our table to actually eat our entrées so we werent “trapped” talking to people at their tables during dinner. So many wedding couples say they never got to eat the food at their own wedding but we did and we are so happy we did! Of course I cannot say enough good things about the food. Oh my the food!! Our wedding was in September 2018 and we still run into guests who rave about how much they loved the food! The food made a great impression on everyone. The beef tenderloin entree was so tender you could cut it with a fork and it melted in your mouth. So yummy. The Statler chicken was the moistest chicken I have ever eaten. Mushroom gruyere pastry appetizers and were a big hit! The Thai pork meatballs and grilled chicken taco apps were also gobbled up! Honestly all of her appetizers were so good we had a difficult time just choosing five to serve! I highly recommend Fireside Catering for your wedding. I know if we need a caterer for any reason in the future Fireside will be the only place we need to call!

were absolutely delighted when it came to working with Fireside. What was even better was when we heard from all of our wedding guests during and after the wedding that the food was the best wedding food they had ever had. I have to say, I haven't had really great food at a wedding myself, so I knew where they were coming from and that they were absolutely right - it was the best food they had had! I personally did not eat a lot as you can imagine but my husband was generous as he cut up my filet so when I did have a moment I was able to sneak a bite (best. bites. ever.!) I think when it comes to cooking for the masses, there definitely can be some difficulties but Fireside Catering has their culinary experience down to a science! What I loved was that not only was the food great but the experience was seamless - Jessica was super responsive and made sure all of our needs were met. So, let me start from the beginning - My husband and I had our tasting in Burlington, MA and let me tell you, you want to come hungry because the food is so good and you'll want room in your stomach to eat it all! I have a severe nut and peanut allergy which I was very concerned about from the beginning however Jessica put all of my fears aside when she explained that everything was made in house, even their crackers (something I wouldn't have expected)! There was not a single item that I could not eat and there was not cross-contamination, which anyone with an allergy knows that part can be the trickiest aspect to overcome. After my fears were put to rest and we had attempted to eat all of the food (there wasn't much that was left) we knew we wanted to go with Fireside for our catering needs. We actually did not taste test any other vendor because in our minds the experience and careful attention to detail could not be met elsewhere. As I mentioned before, Jessica was very responsive and worked with us to design the menu of our wedding dreams! She stayed in contact with us even when there were months that we did not need to communicate - she would simply just check in with us to let us know she was there, which I personally loved. I am not a very fussy person when it comes to wedding planning, I want to trust the vendors because they really are the experts. Jessica did not disappoint in terms of building a relationship as she was extremely easy to either email, call or meet with in person! When the big day was finally around the corner I met with my wedding coordinator that ran the venue and Jessica - when meeting with them I knew they already had an incredible relationship which spoke to both of their characters. We walked through step by step what the day and evening would consist of and I have to say I left feeling great and accomplished. The feeling of being cared for and knowing I was in good hands was extremely comforting and honestly, exciting! When the big day finally came everything went exactly as planned. Jessica was even there to say a quick hi to my husband and I before the night got busy. I would say the only downside was saying goodbye to her as she was a pleasure to work with. I can definitely say if I ever need catering again or a friend needs it, I would always say to go with Fireside Catering!

and advice. On the day of, Fireside staff were there to bring water and snacks for my bridesmaids and I before the ceremony, usher us downstairs when it was time and help signal our guests when it was time to move from cocktail hour to the ceremony, etc., serve incredible food, and generally make sure the evening progressed flawlessly. We got so many compliments from our guests during and after the wedding about how good the food was. My husband and I are vegetarian but most of our guests were not, and Fireside was great about accommodating our food preferences, guest allergies, etc. Can’t recommend Fireside enough!

vetted the vendor list with great detail saving me time and energy, single handedly taking away all our stress that could have developed with planning a wedding. Her organization and attention to detail as she worked with us, planning a wedding from out of town goes without saying. She was extremely quick to respond to emails and made sure that every detail was exactly how we wanted it! She goes above and beyond catering! If you have a chance to work with Fireside Catering and Maura you will not regret it. They make the process of planning a wedding so fun and easy. I got so many complements that the food was the best that they have ever had at a wedding and I would agree. The food just melted in your mouth and the large selection supported us to be able to make everyone in our immediate family happy as we added the variety we pictured. Thank you Maura and Fireside Catering for an unforgettable wedding day!!

ent above and beyond to make sure our day was amazing! Thank you Fireside!

ess, she seems so calm and ready, like she has it all under control and is aware of all the options and has great recommendations. The food was incredible, everybody loved the beef. The landscape is breathtaking with the stone wall along the lake, the little path in the woods, and giant lush green trees surrounding the lawn. Amy even helped set up all the decorations the morning of the wedding. Shout out to Lord who was by my side whenever I needed him and was waiting for us after our walk down the isle with a specialty drink for each of us in his hand. My mom said that they treated us like royalty. I cannot say enough great things about this place, I will recommend it to everyone I know!

h good things about her!
