I had the pleasure of working with Max Ultimate Catering for a private wedding celebration, and their service was exceptional from start to finish. Right from the planning stages to the day-of execution, their team was professional, dedicated, and so easy to work with. Every detail was thoughtfully managed, showcasing not just their impressive culinary skills but their commitment to making the whole experience seamless and special. One of the highlights was the custom menu they designed, tailored perfectly to reflect the couple’s tastes and preferences. Max Ultimate Catering went the extra mile by accommodating personalized dietary needs, ensuring that every guest—from those with specific dietary restrictions to the youngest attendees—felt included and delighted. The specially prepared kids’ meals were a thoughtful touch that parents appreciated, adding to the welcoming and family-friendly atmosphere. The dishes they prepared were incredible—beautifully presented and full of flavor that had guests raving. Each course added to the ambiance and perfectly reflected the couple’s vision. But what really set Max Ultimate Catering apart was the attentiveness and warmth of their staff. They adapted effortlessly to the flow of the evening, making sure guests were well taken care of and the event ran smoothly. Their team didn’t just meet expectations; they went above and beyond, handling last-minute changes with grace and efficiency. Their professionalism made the planning process smoother and gave everyone confidence on the day. The genuine care they brought to their work added so much to the relaxed, joyful atmosphere. Working with Max Ultimate Catering felt like a true partnership, with clear communication and a shared commitment to excellence. I can’t recommend Max Ultimate Catering highly enough for anyone looking for impeccable food and a team that brings skill, attentiveness, and an unwavering dedication to making your event unforgettable.

Working with MAX Ultimate, and Sage in particular, was such an easy and fun experience that it didn't even feel like a checklist item. After MOS connected us with MAX, Sage reached out immediately and was so down to earth, friendly, and just genuinely positive that we knew we wanted to work with her. The food was incredible, and I got to fulfill my dream of passed mini lobster rolls. We also got a lot of compliments on the chicken shawarma and beef tenderloin, though the big winner was the chocolate wedding cake -- I don't like chocolate cake, but Max's chocolate cake is out of this world. Sage was even able to make a smaller gluten free version to serve to a handful of guests with restrictions. The actual night of the wedding was like a dream -- Bill was wonderful (still grateful for the Angel's Envy, so thoughtful), and Fran was the MVP who absolutely made our nights. Thank you Sage, Bill, Fran, and MAX for everything! We couldn't have asked for more.

We cannot recommend this vendor enough, Sage was absolutely AMAZING to work with and went above and beyond. The food was incredible and every single staff member was amazing. We lost count of the amount of compliments we received regarding the food, drinks ,and attentiveness on our wedding day at the Museum of Science. We truly had a stress free wedding day from start to finish (which i didn't know was possible.) We will be thankful for this day and this team forever!

Had the BEST experience working with Sage for our wedding with Max Catering at the Museum of Science. Sage is incredibly responsive and organized, she was so incredibly helpful through all our planning through the tasting, execution of our event, and even helping with picking linens!! The food was SO GOOD, guests were all pleased with the quality, variety, and amount of food they received. Shout out to Ron, who made sure we had access to as much passed apps and drinks as we wanted!! We loved our experience and working with Sage so much, can't thank them enough for helping us with such a memorable and perfect day!!!

Sage and the MAX Ultimate crew were nothing short of amazing. Wedding food was one of our top priorities, and they certainly did not disappoint - our guests were talking about the appetizers for weeks following the wedding. The team was responsive to our needs around scheduling a tasting and were thoughtful about my numerous requests. Every moment of the planning process, I felt heard - and even when I asked the hard hitting questions we were able to reach good outcomes. On the day of, the team was attentive to our needs (I as the bride never went hungry or thirsty). I would recommend MAX Catering to anyone who asks!!

I cannot express enough how MAX Catering elevated our wedding to a culinary masterpiece. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! From start to finish, working with Sage and the MAX team was an absolute delight. Sage, in particular, stands out as the shining star among all our wedding vendors. Her dedication to ensuring our dining experience surpassed all expectations was evident throughout the planning process. She worked with me creatively, taking the time to understand my preferences and desires. I was initially unsure about the vegetarian options, but Sage's expertise and willingness to customize dishes resulted in a menu that exceeded anything I could have imagined. Almost every dish had its own unique tweaks, showcasing MAX's commitment to personalized service. The result? INSANE food that left our guests raving. The flavors, presentation, and attention to detail were impeccable. Our wedding became a gastronomic celebration, and I can't count how many compliments we received on the food. What sets MAX Catering apart is not just the quality of their cuisine but also the seamless and easy process. Despite the customizations and special requests, the entire journey from planning to execution was stress-free, thanks to Sage's professionalism and expertise. While MAX is the exclusive caterer to MOS, I wouldn't hesitate to choose them for any future events. The level of creativity, dedication, and culinary expertise they bring to the table is unmatched. If you want an event to be remembered for its exceptional food, MAX Catering is the way to go. Thank you, Sage, and the entire MAX team, for making our wedding feast a highlight of our special day!

Working with Sage for our wedding at the Museum of Science was a breeze. From the beginning, she was very responsive and helped reassure us that our guests with severe food allergies would be taken care of. At the tasting, she very thoughtfully reserved samples of all the different linens and tableware that might fit our theme and colors, and was very meticulous in taking notes with our feedback for the chef. We opted for a plated dinner (mainly to minimize potential food waste) and were able to try a meat, fish, and vegan entree, which ended up being what we served to our guests. Though we did not get a cake through MAX, instead opting for a croquembouche from a local bakery, Sage helped coordinate the storage and serving of our dessert. Our shadow for the evening took great care of us, and we were overall very pleased with our experience.

Sage was amazing to work with! She was so helpful when planning the menu and speciality drinks and always responded quickly with suggestions and/or ideas. It was easy to accommodate anyone with dietary issues as well. The day of was perfect with Sage and the team being so helpful and "on it" with whatever we or the guests needed (i.e. fresh drinks!). We even had a "shadow" who was so quick to get us new drinks or appetizers during cocktail hour as we took our professional photos. I can't recommend Max or Sage enough, the guests raved about how delicious the food and drinks were, especially the great touch of having late night bites for the end of the night :)

We ADORE Sage and team! Had the best experience with MAX. Sage was responsive, readily available, and informative from the moment of our initial inquiry and we truly enjoyed spending time with her at our tasting. MAX's food is amazing but even still they are more than willing to change/customize anything, work closely with you on any severe allergies, and overall just make the experience easy and fun! The day of the event we had one of the MAX staff "assigned" to us who made sure we were getting enough of the passed apps, made up our dinner plates for us so we could stay focused on our guests, and was all around so sweet and attentive (thank you, Ronald!). A dream, no complaints :)

I worked with Maxwell for my wedding and he executed everything beautifully. Some of our guests had very specific dietary requirements, but because of his professionalism and responsiveness, I was never worried or stressed about everyone’s comfort and enjoyment! They were so incredibly flexible and accommodating, even with last minute guests dropping out. Additionally, the food was out of this world! I’ve had multiple guests tell me it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding! 10/10 and would highly recommend!

YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!!! AMAZING FOOD. Awesome tasting experience and super supportive to make menu tweaks based on preference. Vegetarian guests said their options were the best wedding food they've ever had. Mini lobster rolls? I ate 15. HIGHLY recommend and sooo thankful for the staff for being so on top of it all through the planning and execution.

Another shout out for Sage. She was ABSOLUTELY amazing from the start all the way through to the execution. The food was great and she brought a wonderful energy to a process that can be extremely stressful. When we saw her during our special day (we were sneaking through the food prep area during some pictures) it was like we were seeing one of our guests. We were SO EXCITED to see her and the hugs just added to the day-of excitement and joy. In addition to Sage being a 20/10, her team was superlative. Every member of her team brought their A game and were so kind and generous to me and my new husband and our guests. In all, everything we could have planned for exceeded our expectations and everything we COULDN'T have planned for (that MAX was a part of) ALSO exceeded our expectations. If you have the chance to work with Sage and her team, do it!

Sage was amazing! I loved her excitement and joy when we discussed some customized pieces at our wedding. During our tasting, I showed Sage a picture of my dress at the tasting which had some pink and purple in the dress and she immediately suggested how we could incorporate these colors into the cake. I let her run with it to be a surprised at the wedding as was in love with how the cake came out. The food was amazing and our guests kept coming up to us all night saying how impressed the were with food. The open bar was also well stocked with so many options for our guests also appreciated. I was a little worried when I learned the museum only had one caterer to use, but once we had our tasting, I knew the food/alcohol would be well worth the price. We went with having the salads set at the table before guests are seated and I loved that we did. The salads were so beautiful it added to the table settings and now we have some beautiful detailed photos to enjoy years to come. My MOH was a vegan due to allergies and the Max Ultimate made her an amazing alternative to our veggie plate that she didn’t believe was vegan due to the “cheese” in the Eggplant Rollatini looking to real. Sage also suggested a cake alternative (fruit) so she could also have dessert. During the reception we had a shadow that was amazing even bringing me a tray of lobster grilled cheese which was my favorite hors d'oeuvres of the night. Lastly, I loved that they had late night snacks options. The people who say the couple doesn’t get to eat much at their wedding was wrong for us. One of our wedding priorities was the food and the MOS staff made sure we were well fed and drinks in hand all through the evening.

MAX Ultimate!!! Our wedding was two weeks ago and we are still receiving compliments on how delicious the food was. MAX handled all the food for the event - from beautifully presented appetizer boards, dinner, and passed apps/desserts to our stunning wedding cake to Espresso Dave’s super fun espresso cart service! We knew within the first few minutes of our zoom call with Alexis and confirmed it at our incredibly fun tasting that MAX Ultimate was the right choice for us. She is so easy to work with, super cool, and provided great ideas based on some of our initial menu thoughts. I am a pescatarian and we opted not to have red meat at our wedding - MAX had sooo many vegetarian, fish, and chicken options that kept all of our guests full and remarking on the amazing variety. My mother requested Irish soda bread be added to the bread baskets and (sorry to my Nan but) MAX’s was the most incredible soda bread I have ever tasted. There are truly too many instances of MAX being phenomenal and making the food for our event so bespoke and fun to fit them all in this review. I still cry when I think of how beautiful/tasty our wedding cake was and daydream about a world in which I can plan another event and eat their mini homemade pop-tarts. Trust, if you go with MAX Ultimate to cater your next event you and your guests will thank you. Thank you MAX Ultimate/Alexis!

We had such a great experience working with Sage at the Museum of Science. She was extremely helpful throughout the entire planning process. The food was so delicious that our friends and family are still raving about it to us more than a month after our wedding.

Great experience with MAX catering for our wedding! Since the Museum of Science's sole caterer was MAX, we were excited looking over the seasonal menus and drinks at the start of planning. Even when we had an idea of something off menu, they were completely open and made it happen! The food was so good, and the staff very attentive. Sage was an absolute gem & so professional, highly recommend working with MAX for large events / catering needs!!

We had a great experience with MAX for our wedding at the Museum of Science in Boston. From the jump, MAX was super happy to work with the Museum on all logistical components of the event, and they were very flexible when it came to us changing menu items and guest count leading up to the event. We had a few guests with very strict allergy requirements, and they were super happy to accommodate those as well. Communication leading up tot he event was always clear, and we could talk things over with them on short notice as new items to review came up. As I'm sure many vendors and caterers do, MAX has requirements for guest placards at the tables if you are doing a full-service dinner, and they will ask for a complete table/guest list leading up to the event so don't be caught be surprise! Beyond a smooth preparation process, their service and food at the event was perfect. As I'm sure a lot of couples are, we were worried about missing the entire cocktail hour taking photos (which did partially happen), but one of the staff was kind enough to hunt us down in the Museum and make sure we got some appetizers before dinner. All of the appetizers, dinner plates, and desserts were a hit. The food was delicious, and the serving was right on time with the *rough* schedule of events for the evening. Of course it is a sample size of one, but we had an incredible experience with MAX from planning to event execution.

When we booked our venue they were in the process of transitioning from one caterer to MAX Ultimate. We were slightly concerned as we weren't able to find too much about MAX Ultimate, but talking to Bill set us at ease. He was incredibly flexible with us as we seemed to constantly be changing our minds due to rising and falling covid numbers. Bill was willing to work with us as we navigated downsizing (and then inevitably "upsized" our wedding as we approached the date) and never pressured us to feel like we needed to get him decisions. We were a bit last minute with some of our decisions (like table arrangement, linen decisions, etc.) and Bill was very excellent at sending us friendly reminders, suggestions and making sure we were fully on board with choices. The food was tasty and they were really great at accommodating the many food allergies our guests had. People are still talking about the carrot gnocchi that was a side to one of the dishes at our wedding!

MAX ultimate, while our only option we had through our vendor, was INCREDIBLE! We unexpectedly moved across the country before our wedding and the MAX ultimate team (especially Sage) made sure we were taken care of even from afar! We had a lot of questions throughout the process and they were extremely responsive and patient and we couldn't ask for more delicious food! Definitely the best wedding food I've ever had!

Fantastic caterer! Still dreaming about the chicken waffles and berry/yogurt parfait! Jennifer was a dream to work with, so incredibly helpful. Highly recommend! My only small request is crispier apple crisp next time :)

Max Ultimate Food provided outstanding catering service for our wedding at the Museum of Science. Jennifer and her team took the dishes to a whole different level! In addition to the already extensive selection of food for our wedding, she went above and beyond, adding fall-themed dishes to our menu choices. Our guests couldn't stop complimenting the delicious food, exceptional food quality, and how thoughtful the staff was during the event! We're so pleased with the service and would very highly recommend them.

MAX catering is THE best. My husband and I booked their services for our wedding, and we were completely blown away. I've worked with many catering companies in the past, and they are at the top of the food chain (pun intended). Not only were they creative with the space, but they were extremely thoughtful and innovative while creating a COVID-safe environment (ZERO cases of COVID after our wedding). They were true professionals, incredibly friendly, and the food was amazing! We received endless compliments from guests! Not to mention, we had some guests with severe gluten allergies, and they were very diligent with mitigating any cross-contamination and labeling all of their dishes. They would be my first recommendation to any couple planning a wedding or event!

MAX Ultimate food was wonderful. We worked with them from the start of our engagement all the way through to the wedding. The food was delicious and the presentation spectacular. We also had them hire the lighting company as well as the furniture rentals. Everything came together perfectly. Not only were they fabulous with the food, and drink, but they also assisted with planning the entire evening. What a great company to work with! Post wedding, so many people raved about the food and the cake. Could not have been more pleased!
