Peppers was very easy to work with, and we got SO MANY compliments on our food. We had some dietary restrictions that they easily accommodated, and they were happy to adjust our me...

nu as needed. I particularly liked that they offered a "Beer Wall" with beers on tap for a very reasonable price. They were able to get all the local craft beers I requested, and I've never been to another wedding which had beers on draft. They staffed well, and there were no issues during the event. Diane Stahl, LIndsey Jodrey, and Suzanne were all wonderful to work with.

Peppers did an amazing job with the food for the rehearsal and the reception dinners. For our rehearsal dinner we wanted to have a few Filipino and Cuban dishes for our heritage. W...

e proposed this idea to Peppers and while it was not their typical style of food, they enthusiastically accepted the challenge. The result was delicious! Aside from the food, the presentation was also very well done, the dinner tables looked gorgeous. All the staff was very kind and accommodating. Highly recommend!

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Peppers Artful Events Catering for our September 6, 2026 wedding, and we couldn’t recommend them more highly! Carolyn was our primar...

y contact throughout the planning process, and she was incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, and helpful from start to finish. A few months before our wedding, we attended a sample tasting at Peppers’ Northboro, MA facility. The tasting was beautifully and lavishly presented, and Carolyn took the time to help us think through the flow of our dinner and reception. Her experience and guidance were invaluable as we planned the details of the evening. The tasting also gave us the opportunity to sample several cake options. Peppers works with a nationally recognized, award-winning baker, and they provided cupcakes that replicated the taste and texture of the actual wedding cake so we could try several variations before making our selection. Our wedding cake was absolutely delicious and looked gorgeous! The Peppers team also leaned into our wedding theme beautifully, incorporating the cake toppers we provided to create a cake that felt completely personal to us. Peppers provided truly turnkey catering for our wedding at The Great Barn in Berlin, MA. During cocktail hour, they passed an incredible selection of hors d’oeuvres, including arancini, chicken satay, bacon-wrapped scallops, and more. They also provided passed salads before dinner, they obtained the five-hour alcohol permit and as a result we were able to provide an open, full-bar service with the liquor, beer, and wine selections we chose including a signature cocktail, and additional drink options for our guests. For dinner, we offered the Statler Chicken, Seasonal Risotto, and Salmon with sides of potatoes and fall root vegetables, and all three were absolutely delicious. Our guests raved about the food, and everything was beautifully presented and served. They also made many accommodations for the guest's various food allergies, vegetarian options as well as celiac issues and gluten free options including individual cupcakes for the guests who were not able to eat the cake. What really stood out to us, though, was how seamless the entire experience was. Peppers handled the complete setup and breakdown at our venue, taking a huge amount of stress off our shoulders. As point-person, Carolyn was completely responsive and professional in all aspects of planning and execution at the wedding-where she even was on site to make sure everything proceeded smoothly. Carolyn also coordinated closely with the owner of The Great Barn and we all met at the venue for a walk-through a few weeks before the date to make sure everything flowed perfectly between cocktail hour and the reception. The entire evening went off without a hitch. From the initial tasting through the end of our wedding night, Peppers and Carolyn and her entire staff delivered exceptional food, service, professionalism, and attention to detail. We are so grateful to Carolyn and the entire Peppers team for helping make our wedding day so special. They truly took care of every detail and made the entire catering experience easy and enjoyable. If you’re looking for a wedding caterer that combines outstanding food, beautiful presentation, exceptional service, and genuine attention to the details that will make your wedding uniquely yours, we highly recommend Peppers Artful Events Catering!

Absolutely incredible! If they are a choice of vendor, and even if they’re not, absolutely hire Peppers Artful Events to do your catering. We were lucky enough to have for our wedd...

ing at New England Botanic Garden this August. Early on we met with Carolyn, who is absolutely incredible at her job, who was able to walk us through the entire process of meal selection, beverage selection and possibilities for rentals and then day of planning. She walked us through the tasting, giving us all the options and possibilities of combinations of apps, starters and entrees and then finished off with an incredible chocolate cake. Our day -f team was also incredible and I’m so grateful that after a morning of heavy rain, that somehow magically cleared, the team were set and ready to host cocktail hour outside so our guests could enjoy the terrace and Winter Garden at NEBG. For the entire evening, the team at Peppers made everything SO EASY. Overall, it was easily the best wedding food I’ve ever had. Huge shout out to the Statler Chicken, which is their specialty dish; I’m still getting compliments on the food now almost a month later. Peppers were extremely accommodating with guest allergies and restrictions and directly made sure that those guests were given proper alternatives. I could go on and on about how incredible it all was. We are so happy with them and highly recommend them to anyone looking for event catering.

We chose Peppers Artful Events after meeting with five highly regarded catering companies, and it ended up being one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. What initially ...

stood out was their presentation and attention to detail. Their Instagram photos are stunning, but what impressed us most was that the real experience lived up to the photos. The food, plating, and overall presentation were every bit as beautiful in person as they appeared online. From the planning process through the wedding day itself, the entire Peppers team was exceptional. Professional, organized, and incredibly attentive, but never stuffy or overly formal. They struck the perfect balance of making everything feel seamless while maintaining the warm, relaxed atmosphere we wanted for our guests. Our event manager truly went above and beyond. She helped with venue setup and décor, assisted our florist with styling details, and made sure every aspect of the event came together flawlessly. When the place cards I had ordered arrived unusable just before the wedding, she calmly stepped in and helped create new ones. It was one of those unexpected moments that could have been stressful, but she handled it without missing a beat. The service throughout cocktail hour and dinner was equally impressive. The staff seemed to have an instinct for knowing exactly when to step in and when to fade into the background. Glasses were refilled, guests were taken care of, and every detail was managed effortlessly. As a bride, I never had to ask for anything. I felt genuinely cared for and was able to simply enjoy the evening, which is one of the greatest gifts a wedding vendor can provide. And the food was outstanding. Every course was delicious, beautifully presented, and consistently executed from the first tray passed at cocktail hour to the final plate served at dinner. It's rare to find a vendor that excels equally in food, presentation, service, and execution, but Peppers delivered on all four. They played such an important role in making our wedding feel effortless and unforgettable. We cannot recommend them highly enough. If you're considering Peppers, stop looking and book them.

Our wedding was truly perfect and there is not a single detail we would change about the evening. Since Day 1, the staff were excellent partners and collaborators in assembling...

our vision for the day. Peppers even stepped outside their comfort zone to experiment with South/Southeast Asian cuisine and took ample feedback as true professionals. Thank you for playing a HUGE PART in making our day so special. The guests shared that the staff who supported our evening were exceptional and provided elite service throughout the day.

Miriam M

My fiance (now husband!) and I worked primarily with Carolyn from Peppers and later with Lindsey and I have to say it was a phenomenal experience the entire way through. The entire...

team is incredibly thoughtful, professional, and accommodating and made our experience planning our wedding so smooth. We live in NYC and Peppers was so understanding of our busy schedules and truly made every effort to make sure the wedding of our dreams came together, even as we were planning from a distance. We were married at Elm Bank in Wellesley and it was so helpful that the Peppers team knew the venue so well and had such a positive relationship with the venue staff. Overall, I truly cannot recommend Peppers enough. They are exactly the type of team you will want as you plan your wedding, and that is not even to mention how incredibly phenomenal the food was!! My husband I still talk about the little tour we got of their vertical garden onsite which was so cool to see.

for the wedding dinner (Chinese dim sum, Fish and meat street tacos, and arancini balls with three dipping sauces) and dessert (individual fruit pies). We had such fun working with their team in coming up with the menu, as well as making improvements after they hosted us for a tasting dinner. The staff is super friendly, organized, warm and attentive. The bar set ups they did for us were gorgeous- with such beautiful backdrops they architected to frame the tables. In fact, they did such a great job for us I turned to them again to host a big birthday party for me at our house- and everyone raved about the extensive gourmet passed apps. I’m now recommending them to all my friends!!

commodate any request. From food allergies to customizations and the endless possibilities, Peppers is extremely detail oriented and simply amazing at what they do. I highly recommend their team, especially Sarah and Wellesley. Their staff was always asking if we needed anything, food came out so coordinated and the whole night just went so smoothly. Thank you Peppers for being a part of our big day, it was truly a pleasure to work with you!

Katy W

We were very pleased with our caterer, Peppers Artful Events, for my daughter's wedding! We worked directly with an event coordinator named Diane, who was incredibly knowledgeable ...

about the menu choices and made the entire planning process completely easy for us. The initial taste testing was a wonderful experience, and on the big day, the food was absolutely amazing. We received so many compliments from our guests! Everything was displayed beautifully, especially the cupcakes at the end of the meal. They were so good that there were practically none left! The entire staff was incredibly helpful along the way. At one point during the setup, I noticed that no instructions had been given yet for where some of the table displays should go. I pulled one of the staff members aside, and she immediately took control of the situation. When we returned, everything was set up exactly the way my daughter had envisioned it to be. Thank you again to Diane for making the process so easy, and to the entire staff for their outstanding professionalism! We highly recommend them. 6/27/26

yond to make our wedding dinner as perfect as possible. We got so many compliments on the food and presentation. We had lots of kids at the wedding, folks with dietary restrictions, and some particular foodies. Everyone was happy and we literally did not have to worry about a thing. Book them for your wedding!

Bottom line--BOOK Peppers Artful Events as your caterer! We are so unbelievably grateful to them for turning our 90 person wedding at the Worcester Art Museum into an absolute mast...

erpiece. Our team was spearheaded by Carolyn, who was warm, reliable, and so helpful from start to finish. From the initial considerations for a menu, to attending the sample tasting, to the event itself, Carolyn was amazing. She made us feel cared for and prioritized. She gave us all of the options and revised based on preferences and budget. Our day-of team with Melissa was outstanding. Every team member looked genuinely happy to be there and even told us so! They were so accommodating to our guests with dietary restrictions and set aside alternatives for them AND sought out those guests directly which greatly relieved a stressor for us. One staff member even kept my champagne glass full all night! They went above and beyond as a caterer in that not only was the food actually exceptional, but their presentation was so artistic! They even brought decor that seamlessly matched and elevated our aesthetic. We cannot thank them enough and we highly, highly recommend them.

Elizabeth P

Peppers (especially Carolyn) was a fantastic choice for our wedding this spring. We had steak, salmon and a vegetarian option, all of which were amazing at the tasting. HIGH praise...

for our appetizers, so happy that they saved some for us because our guests devoured them!! They were very easy to work with and communication was prompt and clear. Dessert was also really well done, we gave them creative freedom with a caveat that I love macarons and they did not let me down. All my guests said their food was fantastic, some of the best wedding food that they had compared to previous weddings.

The Peppers team was incredible to work with from start to finish. Everyone on the staff was kind, helpful, professional and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we...

needed during our wedding. The food was absolutely incredible and fresh, high quality ingredients. All our guests are still talking about how delicious the apps and entrees were. Our wedding cake was also the best cake we have ever eaten. I cannot thank Carolyn and the entire Peppers team enough for everything they did for us to make our day perfection and remove any worry or stress. Could not recommend this vendor more, 10/10 perfection.

rolyn's patient, kind, and anything-is-possible attitude remained like it was the first time we met. I cannot thank Peppers enough for helping us plan and experience the wedding of our dreams, with food so tasty we received texts about it days later. Our wedding food wasn't the typical, "this is decent I guess" - it was more like, "this is the best s'mores tart I've ever had." I simply cannot recommend them enough.

One of the things we especially appreciated about NEBG was that it partners with Peppers Artful Events for catering and bar services. I’ve been vegan for over 13 years and really w...

anted to have an all-vegan wedding. From the start, Peppers' sales manager, Carolyn Sweeny, responded to that request with genuine excitement. She let us know they had done a vegan wedding at NEBG before, and she and the Peppers team worked closely with us to design a creative and crowd-pleasing menu—from passed appetizers and vibrant salads to plated entrees, a stunning cake, mini desserts, and custom signature drinks. Speaking of drinks, I have to rave about Peppers’ mixologist (I’m sorry I don’t know their name!!). I had a loose vision of something tropical, tart, and not too sweet, maybe with passionfruit or lychee, and I asked the Peppers mixologist if a bright pink cocktail might be possible. What they created absolutely blew me away. The signature drink they created was a spectacular fuchsia cocktail made with pink botanical gin, pineapple, passionfruit, lime, dragon fruit purée, a botanical flower rim, pineapple leaf garnish, and a dehydrated dragon fruit slice. It was as delicious as it was beautiful, and it totally captured the playful, vibrant spirit we wanted to bring to the evening. Beyond food and beverage, Carolyn and the Peppers team also supported us with design and styling. We shared inspiration photos with a Palm Springs-inspired aesthetic, and Carolyn/Peppers completely understood the assignment. She sourced the most perfect chartreuse velvet linens to pair with dusty rose napkins, which ended up looking so incredibly stunning with all of the plants and architecture in the Orangerie. They executed our vision perfectly, even bringing in their own decor to add to the aesthetic. Our hearts are so full after working with everyone from NEBG and Peppers. Thank you all, from the bottom of our hearts, for bringing our vision to life and making our wedding so unforgettable. ❤️

We don’t know where to begin to thank Peppers Artful Events for all the work they put into our wedding, and how over-the-moon we were with their care and detail. My husband and I w...

ere married at the New England Botanic Garden in May 2025. We had a very specific vision of the day, and after meeting with Peppers, we quickly realized that they were far more than a catering team. Their team provided us artful advice on how to make our vision come to life. We wanted very creative, feast-like and "painterly" tables capes that were inspired by art, and they were so hands-on with setting up our vision (which included a lot of edible decor!). The FOOD, oh my gosh I will never stop thinking of it. Our first tasting included a tour of their hydroponic garden where they showed us all of the veggies that would be grown to feed our guests. We were floored. They helped us curate a menu that honored both of our cultural traditions, Italian and Spanish. Their menu featured artfully-presented entrees, appetizers, a memorable collection of signature cocktails, and a guest-interactive cannoli bar. Our guests have not stopped talking about how fantastic the service and food was. If we could get married a million times over, we’d pick the Peppers team each time. THANK YOU, endlessly, to their extraordinary team. We feel so lucky to have worked with you. Love, Holly and Pablo.

to the foods we like as a couple. We were thrilled with the quality of the food at our tasting, and it was just as delicious on our big day. Their attention to detail is unmatched, all the displays around our bar and cocktail hour were lovely and the food was plated beautifully. We were so happy with all of the staff, from the management during planning to the bartenders and servers, everyone was kind and professional and helped our day to go so smoothly. Would absolutely recommend Peppers for any event catering needs!

I felt as though someone was there to help me at every turn, whether telling me our entree was being served or asking if I needed a beverage. The tent was just amazing. The guest tables and head table looked beautiful, as did all of the decor at the cocktail hour. Also, the cake!!! It was so good, and we loved how the flowers turned out. Thank you again for your dedication to bringing our wedding vision to life and cultivating such a perfect menu, as well as helping to make our day so special!

Peppers was the required catering team for our venue and we could not be more grateful that we got to work with them. We primarily worked with Carolyn who is one of the kindest peo...

ple we’ve ever met. She so clearly wanted to make sure that our wedding reflected who we are and what our vision was. She offered advice and made suggestions through the whole process. During our tasting, she walked us through all the rentals choices, guided us through timeline development, and her team even answered all our curiosity questions about the produce they grow for themselves. The team created our signage and checked in with us along the way to make sure it came out as we wanted. On the day of the wedding, every single staff member was so kind to us and our guests and made sure everyone was happy and well fed. And most importantly, our guests universally loved the food, which they said was hot, delicious, and better than any food they’d ever had at a wedding! Thank you Carolyn and team for responding to every little email, answering every call, and overall being our guides through the wedding planning process!

l. Not only did they help with the logistics of my wedding but the food was perfection! I was getting so many compliments all night long how delicious every single thing was. Every dish was well thought out and not like your typical wedding catering meal. Also, they made sure to stay within our budget and were completely transparent with everything! If you are looking for a team to help you have the most perfect wedding day ever with the most delicious food ever, Peppers should be your choice!

menu and service was a breeze given how professional and flexible she was. Having to change the menu a few times did not wrinkle a thing for Natalia. Similarly, when Lindsay and her team arrived at our home, in the rain, for our outdoor tented fete, they went into action and fed, served and seamlessly tidied up around the 100+ crowd - inside. The food (omelette station and breads and salads station) were delicious and any leftovers were packed up and placed in our refrigerators and the house left neater than before. The team heartily deserved the round of applause that we offered them. I am a Peppers fan now and will recommend and look for future opportunities to work with them. They are outstanding!

Karolina K

We had the pleasure of working with Peppers for our wedding back in August and we cannot say enough wonderful things about them! Our main contact person with Peppers was Diane and...

she was so sweet and easy to work with. She was always available and responsive to emails. We had many small details that we wanted to incorporate and Diane spent a lot of time making sure that it all came together. For example, we were looking for a specific type of copper flatware for our table settings and Diane found the PERFECT fit. We also had Blackbird Donuts as one of our desserts, our favorite ginger beer shipped from Seattle for our signature drinks, customized ice, and a champagne tower - and Diane coordinated it all SO seamlessly. We had two late night snacks (Boston cannolis and Seattle hot dogs, from the two cities we call home) - and although Peppers had never even heard of a Seattle dog they absolutely NAILED recreating it, it was so so good! All of the food (from the drinks to the apps to the entrees) was so delicious, we got so many compliments on it all! After our wedding, Peppers sent us a congratulatory bottle of wine and a jar of homemade granola. So incredibly sweet. We cannot recommend them enough!!!! They really do put in 110%, not just for the basics but for the all the little details as well.

Victoria A

A disappointing experience with Pepper’s Catering for a wedding event! My experience with them did not live up to the reputation of the previous owners. Communication was a struggl...

e throughout the entire process – from the very start when it took 3 calls to get the initial return call, to being stood up at a meeting, to not reading or responding to my emails until calls were made, to a tasting that was not reflective of plan, to increasing costs without notification, to raising concerns at the 11 th hour, and even to the very end when Dianne did not communicate or execute correct return reimbursement. Some details were missed which was disappointing given all the planning and communication on my end that all details were important to me. Cassandra was the 2 nd coordinator at the event but I only met and spoke with her once prior to the event. Never saw her at the event until leaving the venue! Never heard from a lead server throughout the event. All my head table floral décor was being thrown away without my knowledge until I went looking for it! I appreciated Pepper’s willingness to work with us on executing our vision but when it came to the details, Dianne really didn’t want to hear it; seemed like it was too much work/a bother for her. Via “the grapevine”, I had heard some not so good things about some recent Pepper’s events from multiple people. I chose to ignore them but I shouldn’t have. When I shared them with Dianne, the response was “I never heard that”. Some of the food was excellently prepared. However, we felt the entrée served at the tasting was not quite what was served at the event. Not sure why that would be but 3 of the 4 people at the tasting felt the same. After the event I called to give feedback. Dianne wasn’t really interested in hearing it. I did not appreciate the attempt to “manage my expectations”. A customer’s expectations don’t need “to be managed” when services are provided as planned and purchased! This company does not dot their "i's" or cross their "t's" and they really should based on the prices they charge. Would not recommend. Review update 12/28/23 - Just wanted to share how pleased we have been with the recovery from this review from Gourmet Caterers (Pepper’s parent company). Immediately upon posting the review we were promptly reached out to by Amy, the VP of sales who wanted to hear more about our experience with Pepper’s. She provided a space for me and my mom to air our grievances, offer suggestions for go forward and she really listened to what we had to say. She was professional, empathetic and an absolute pleasure to chat through a challenging experience with. She helped us feel heard and supported throughout the recovery process. It was clear from the start that Amy and Gourmet Caterers wanted to make things right – they were willing to have multiple conversations with us and Amy worked with management on our behalf to help us reach an amicable solution. We are very appreciative of how invested she became in our story, how willing her and the company were to help and for the overall customer service we ended up experiencing in the end!

te our unique request for our menu (unlike other caterers we had inquired with who were not willing to adapt to the menu we wanted), and they executed everything perfectly! Day-of, Julie and the team set up everything so beautifully and everyone was so wonderful throughout the entire event. The servers were very attentive (we, the bride and groom, DID get to eat at our wedding thanks to them!), the bartenders were so friendly, and of course... the food tasted SO GOOD! I have always thought food at weddings to be kinda -meh-, but I absolutely loved our food and we got so many compliments on it! 10/10 would absolutely work with Peppers again and recommend them for any catering needs!

We had a wonderful experience with Peppers for our September wedding! Carolyn was so attentive and easy to work with. I didn't realize just how big a role catering played in a wedd...

ing. Beyond the food (which was absolutely amazing), they helped with rentals, linens, set up, bartending, etc. The tasting was our favorite part of the wedding planning experience. There were TONS of food options. Carolyn investigated every detail we were curious about, from beer choice to sorbet flavors to sweetheart table widths. All the staff working on the day of the wedding were kind and chatted with our guests! Our late night snack of French fries were an absolute hit, and the sweet staff sent me a plate of fries early. I could keep going because they truly do SO MUCH. Hire them!

When we learned our venue had an exclusivity contract with a caterer, we were a little uneasy. We worried about the options, responsiveness, etc. of a vendor that was guaranteed ou...

r money. That said, as soon as we met Event Designer, Carolyn, at Peppers, all our fears were squashed. Carolyn was so easy to work with, understood our vision for the day, and walked us through every step of the process. She was professional, caring, detail-oriented, and incredibly responsive. Catering was by far the largest cost for the wedding but we never felt pressured into making any decisions and Carolyn took the time to explain our options so that we were comfortable with costs. In addition to the food, she helped us coordinate the rentals for the wedding and met with us multiple times during the planning process to ensure every little detail was accounted for and we could relax on the big day. The food itself was delicious and great quality, arrived hot, quickly, and as-ordered, and the staff was friendly and helpful to our guests. Thank you, Carolyn and Peppers, for the excellent service!

Overall, Peppers provided us with wonderful food that the guests loved and they accommodated all of our guests' allergies. They embraced our surprise wedding and worked with us to ...

create a menu that would work for our event. We loved our day-of wait staff, specifically Nancy, who checked in with us throughout the evening. The reason for 4/5 stars is throughout our time working with Peppers from November 2021 to June 2023, we ended up being transitioned between multiple event planners and our day-of coordinator also ended up being a different person than who we had met in our final planning meeting. This led to some missed/incorrect details (e.g., incorrect linen colors), none of which dampened our day but were details that we had discussed with them in the final meeting and were in our final contract. We did share this feedback with them after the event and they did acknowledge these inconsistencies. We would recommend Peppers as a caterer since they deliver wonderful food and were accommodating throughout the process.

Mackenna W

Peppers food was absolutely delicious!! We got our cake from them as well and it was the best wedding cake I’ve ever had. Carolyn and team were very communicative and easy to work ...

with. From the tasting to the big day the food’s quality and taste was flawless. The only reason for not giving 5 stars is that most of the guests who had an allergy/modified dish were not initially done correctly, including my MOH. A few of these had to be sent back and re -done so these guests got their plates late. They were quick to correct the dishes but it was a frustrating as it was important to us that our guests with allergies and dietary needs were accommodated as we had reviewed with them. Also, one of the tables wasn’t set up for enough chairs so they had to last minute set up the missing plate and the guest didn’t have a place to sit (we found out later from the guests at that table). Other than a few details, everything was perfect and delicious! I would work with them again.

We worked with Carolyn from Pepper’s for our wedding on 10/8/22. We were blown away by the food on our wedding day. We honestly received so many compliments on the food. Our guests...

continue to tell us it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. Everything that was served was hot and delicious. One guest even wished they were a local restaurant because he wanted more. Carolyn was so easy to work with and so supportive. We can not recommend Pepper’s enough.

The food was AMAZING and got rave reviews, we had a dedicated server for both us as the bride and groom and also my parents as the homeowners, and our signature cocktail was an absolute hit that ran out within two hours! There was zero to worry about with them as part of our day - you will not regret hiring them!

We love working with Carolyn, Jen and the entire Peppers Staff. They honestly are the best!!! I did not have an event planner so I really appreciated any extra help. Carolyn was so...

prompt with her communication and very helpful during my planning process. She and Jen gave me input on my table and centerpieces set up. What I love most was that they never try to "sell" me anything or get me to pay for extra, luxury stuff. They respected my choice and my budget. On the wedding day, we had to move our ceremony and cocktail hour indoor due to inclement weather, and Peppers did an amazing job setting up everything. Last but not least, the food, beverages and desserts were excellent (even though I didn't get to eat much during the wedding. Pastry chef Lisa did a great job with the cake. I highly recommend Peppers for your catering need.

Carolyn, Jen and their entire staff were an absolute dream team. They went above and beyond to make my day so special. Carolyn helped guide me through the entire planning process, ...

even meeting me at PEAK rentals to help pick out linens and china. They truly become friends in the process of planning and I knew I chose the best caterer out there. My wedding went so smoothly and I loved all the small details they put together from how they set up the dessert table and bar, it was all so perfect. My pregnant sister said she ate three plates of the desserts and would've had more if she could. Every member of their team was incredible and I felt like a princess the way they catered to me and my now husband. I cannot say enough good things about them. I still continue to hear about how good everyones food was (SHORT RIBS, crab crusted haddock and butternut squash ravioli) not to mention they even put together special dishes for my vegan and gluten free guests catering to all of their needs. Oh and the passed apps don’t miss out on the Parmesan tulle, I would do anything for another round of those. Thank you Peppers for helping me have the wedding of my dreams, I will forever rave about their company! 10/10 recommend!

Carolyn, Traci, and the entire team at Peppers really were exceptional to work with. They were so accommodating when I had to make special dietary requests for a family member, and...

were super flexible when two of my guests couldn't attend due to illness. They made my husband and I feel so looked after the whole night, and we feel extremely lucky that our venue chooses to work with them. The food is outstanding (everyone was raving about it), and the cake they designed was exactly what I envisioned. Additionally, they helped me work through the nit-picky design decisions, and completely understood how the whole vision would come together. I hope I get to attend another event catered by this team, just to get to dine with them again.

Peppers is an absolutely masterful catering and event company. My husband and I got married at Tower Hill, and Peppers serviced the celebration with such attention to detail and th...

oughtfulness. In every conversation leading up to the event, Peppers listened closely to our vision, provided considerate recommendations and advice, and steered us in the right direction when we were uncertain of what would be most fitting for our celebration. They were responsive, flexible and provided us with the resources and support to have a worry-free wedding celebration (and we really did). We are still getting rave reviews about the food and drinks. Every bite was just as delicious as the last - from the passed hors d'oeuvres to the late night snack - and Peppers executed everything perfectly. They were also so attentive and flexible about dietary restrictions, coming up with unique and tasty alternatives when needed to ensure that every guest had an enjoyable meal. The staff was truly outstanding. We were overwhelmed by the level of service they provided to us and to every guest throughout the entire event and how they became a part of our celebration. We will never forget how memorable and care-free Peppers made our event - we would highly recommend them for any special event.

When my wife and I began planning our wedding we knew we wanted a tasteful catering service that sourced as much as possible from local farms/vendors, etc. We had been to other eve...

nts in central MA in the past that used Pepper’s and always loved the food. We were thrilled when we learned they were able to do our wedding. They were a complete dream to work with every step of the way. Every idea that I had to incorporate local and seasonal food they were able to execute perfectly. The food was delicious from eclectic passed appetizers to beautiful charcuterie and clever signature cocktails that they helped create for us. Many of our guests, including some of our foody friends, commented on how great the food was. We even made a special request that they source ice cream for our reception from our favorite creamery in central MA which they were gladly able to facilitate without issue. They also nailed the late night snack with some deliciously salty French fries and warm cookies that were a crowd favorite. Lastly, the catering staff themselves were unparalleled in their commitment to great service. They were so attentive to our guests and any special needs, particularly for anyone with allergies or other special requests. They really took care of our guests and us which ultimately made for an incredibly enjoyable experience. Can’t recommend Pepper’s enough.

Peppers' chefs are phenomenal - all of the food was absolutely amazing, and they had incredible choices so it was hard to pick what to serve! They even were able to get several Arm...

enian dishes which made my mom's side of the family thrilled. The wait staff day of were also very attentive, as the bride and groom we got our own server who brought us a personal plate during cocktail hour that saved me. Best food I've ever had at wedding!! The reasons for less than 5 stars are 1. they are a bit pricey ($1000 for a cake... so we got it at a bakery) 2. the bar staff were rude to several guests and the groom (which management apologized for after) 3. the event set up was not completely executed per instructions and review calls BUT as everyone says after weddings - no one notices those things except the bride/planner. I recommend them to everyone in the area because their quality is amazing.

We used Peppers Artful Events as our caterer for our wedding and we could not be more happy with their service. From the tasting to our wedding day, Peppers was awesome to work wit...

h. We had so many people comment on how amazing the food was at our wedding. We would definitely recommend Peppers for any catering event.

The food is something our guests continue to talk about, but I couldn't have been more pleased with the service. From the first meeting through all the last minute changes, Peppers...

delivered. to perfection. They handled all the food allergies and ensured that we had all the equipment we needed for the day to go as smoothly as possible. Kathleen was our onsite catering manager, and when I (the bride) got hit with heat exhaustion, Kathleen was there to make sure we made adjustments to accommodate some of the schedule change. She also made sure both my husband and I were well taken care of. He has mentioned several times to me that he wouldn't have gotten through the craziness without her.

We were going to get married at Tower Hill in June 2020, but the pandemic happened. We were worried about getting our deposit back from Peppers since we were going to have a backya...

rd wedding instead on June 11, 2021. After much deliberation, we decided to stick with Peppers for catering/florals/rentals, and OH MY GOD, did we make the right choice. Are they expensive? Yes. Is it worth spending a little extra money to have peace of mind on your big day? 100%. We worked with Jody as our coordinator, Colleen as our onsite coordinator and Lindsey for florals/design. I couldn't recommend a better dynamic trio! Jody eased my mind and gave me so much advice when choosing a new venue. She did a great job of keeping me on track and helping me navigate all of the new changes. Day-of, Colleen CAME THROUGH! She knew every detail, made sure everything was on time, and even sent additional staff to our bar (not Peppers) to lend a hand. Everything went SO WELL and was so incredibly organized. My brother got married the following month in the same backyard and we actually hired Peppers for the bar and the appetizer stations. My family was so impressed by the quality of Peppers' work that we knew it wasn't even an option to have them for my brother's wedding - it was a necessity. And did I mention the food? Our guests couldn't stop talking about it. PLENTY of hors d'oeuvres, striking raw bar, and all plates came out promptly and were delicious AND hot. They set up the coffee and cake station so quietly - all of a sudden this beautiful display appeared out of nowhere. Everyone thought I was crazy for trying to host a high-end, cocktail-attire "backyard" wedding, but Peppers understood my vision and really executed it superbly. Now I need to take a special moment to talk about Lindsey. After the full-time florist left around COVID, Lindsey jumped in and worked right beside me and Jody to work on my florals. I had wholesale peonies from Nicewicz farm and needed a florist to arrange and add greenery. Lindsey also knew I didn't want a basic tent. With a very short timeline, Lindsey hired a production company for lighting and then hired a florist that would arrange our peonies. All brides know how painful it is to add an additional vendor to communicate with and Lindsey took both of them off my plate!! She explained my vision, gave me design options, and worked with booking. The florist had issues with us using wholesale peonies and [the week before the wedding] said we'd need to cut the flowers on Sunday before a Friday wedding and then sign a contract saying "if they look bad on Friday, it's not his fault." Obviously, that's a hard no. Lindsey recognized it and said "I booked you another florist, don't worry! You can bring the peonies to Peppers on Wednesday, no problem." Guess who the florist was? Lindsey herself. I'm sure she didn't want to tell me because she had disclosed that she's not a professional, but BOY DID SHE FOOL ME AND EVERYONE! I have never seen more beautiful floral arrangements in my life. AND she showed up at noon day-of to help arrange and manage the production company too. Thank you to all of Peppers Artful Events for making our dreams come true! To all the staff that attended our wedding or my brother's, you were all so incredibly kind and thoughtful. I can't wait to hire Peppers for baby showers, anniversaries, birthday parties, and many special events to come.

From planning every detail to ensuring the evening ran smooth as silk (no matter what happened), to some of the most incredible dishes we have ever tasted, Peppers truly does craft...

artful events. They worked with our venue to make sure we had all the proper permits up to and including day-of changes with staffing restrictions due to changes in COVID guidelines. They took care with every detail planned and plated ensuring our decisions were easy, our dinner was DELICIOUS, and our focus could stay maintained on the greatest day of our lives rather than bogged down in details. And the planning was just the start because boy did they execute: amazing food and stellar service, neither we nor a single guest wanted for anything all night. In fact, almost every individual guest went out of their way to rave about both the food and service up to and including a custom hot cocoa bar to close out the night. And Peppers worked hard to make sure it happened flawlessly... in the middle of an empty field… in the throes of changing conditions in the wind-down of a global pandemic. The crew were each and all true professionals, undoubtedly dedicated to producing the best possible for us. Our wedding was a special day, largely made possible by Peppers. We could not be more thankful to or impressed by Susan & John and the whole team for making our downsized wedding feel like the biggest celebration: we literally could not have dreamt up a more perfect day than the one they helped us produce and we will forever remember the day because of how much work they put into it to make it truly special.

Eek! We signed on with Peppers just before the pandemic began and they can't seem to keep employees forward-moving with clients during these challenging times. Terse communication ...

with reps and owners led to overall ineffective, rude customer service, lots of disorganization, and poor ability to deliver. Wish our venue had never recommended this vendor.
