Ralphs was absolutely phenomenal! The food was delicious and plentiful. They went above and beyond to make sure everything was just right. The team was also so professional and attentive, making sure everything went smoothly throughout the night. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caterer who brings exceptional service.
Delicious! Affordable! SO. MUCH. FOOD. Recommended caterer and bartender from Five Bridge so they were also extremely knowledgeable and comfortable at the venue. THE SHORT RIB WAS TO DIE FOR. I got seconds of the penne a la vodka 😊Mia and Ralph were so friendly! The waitstaff were attentive throughout, so caring. It literally felt like my family was providing dinner. Appetizers included cheese, crackers, crudite, pizza, passed apps – the works!
We chose Ralph's Catering for our wedding on August 4th 2022 and we were not disappointed! They were able to work with my allergy! The food was hot and delicious. My guests raved about the quality of the food. They were even kind enough to box my meal I was not able to finish my plate. Also, they made sure to set aside and give me as many spring rolls as my heart desired at our cocktail hour!
I have held several Christmas parties at Ralphs and was impressed and satisfied 100%. From the planning and booking stage with Mia to the last cup of coffee served all was fabulous and perfect. The service, food and atmosphere were superior. I will be booking my Christmas there again next year without an ounce of reservation. Mia is absolutely the BEST to work with and had every detail planned just the way we talked about. Thank You all Happy Holidays
Ralph's was incredible- they catered our wedding at Five Bridge Inn on 11/5/2022 and they did not disappoint. We predominantly worked with Mia for all of the planning, who was so responsive to all of our questions/emails. The food was so delicious, we did buffet style with baked scrod, chicken francaise, penne with vodka sauce, toasted potatoes, and seasonal veggies- all of which got rave reviews from our guests. The waitstaff that worked the reception were so kind and helpful, Diana (I hope I'm remembering her name correctly!) was especially thoughtful and was quick to check in on my husband and I for all of our needs. Thank you Ralph's!
Ralph’s catered our wedding reception on 10/13/2022 at the Five Bridge Inn. We had the sit down meal of Filet Mignon and the Caprese Chicken. Absolutely delicious. We received so many compliments on our food selection. Everything was cooked to perfection, came out hot and in a timely fashion. The appetizer’s did not disappoint!
One comment made was “that was the first time I’ve ever been to a wedding and enjoyed every piece of food served and felt full”.
Mia and Ralph were amazing to work with . Highly recommend and will use them again !
Hiring Ralphs for our catering for our May 7, 2022 wedding At Five Bridge Inn was an absolutely fantastic choice. Working with Mia throughout the planning process made everything a breeze. She answered every crazy question I had thoroughly and extremely quickly. The food on the day of the wedding was nothing short of amazing. Our chicken finger appetizers with chipotle aioli are something my husband I wish we could order for dinner. The prime rib, chicken capri, and mashed potatoes we had for dinner were outstanding. Our wedding guests are still raving about out food.
Fantastic food and service! We hired Ralph's for the rehearsal dinner and our reception and got so many compliments on how great the food was! They were also really great with accommodating our vegan diets as well as some of our guests who had gluten allergies. Mia was so great to work with answering all of our questions and helping up make sure everything turned out perfectly. Highly recommend Ralph's team for your big day!
The food catered by Ralph’s was delicious. I also used them for bar service as well. Everyone loved the food from cocktail hour to the appetizers, to the main entree. The wait staff was very kind , efficient, and accommodating. They did an amazing job. There was so much food going around , you never have to worry about anyone going hungry. Our entree choices were the baked scrod and chicken francaise which everyone loved. My only concern is that I found out from some of my guests that the female bartender was kind of rude and impatient with them . The male bartender ( can’t remember his name) was great through . He seemed like this was second nature to him and he wasn’t rude. I didn’t want to denote any stars from this rating though because the service and the staff was overwhelming great and that one female bartender did not reflect the overall service.
We were required to use this caterer because we did an off-season contract, but it was very easy! The appetizers were really delicious, and there was a lot included. The dinner buffet was a little limited in terms of number of items (partially because appetizers were passed, and salads were served) but all the food was hot, delicious, and there was plenty of it- which is more than I can say of other weddings I've been to. All in all, we are very happy with the results, and would recommend them (especially if you want Italian food)
Ralph and his team are amazing! We used them for our wedding and our guests could not stop raving about the food and open bar service! Everything from appetizers to entrees was delicious. The service and staff were attentive to all of our guests and went above and beyond for us!
Delicious! Ralph is a master at his craft! We hired Ralph's Catering for our wedding and highly recommend. From appetizers to dinner, everything was 10 star delicious! The coordination with Mia was excellent. She answers any questions that may arise and works with you to ensure your perfect event. We originally had selected the buffet option for our wedding, but due to Covid had to switch to a sit down option. The process was seamless and we were so thankful to have had them for a part of our day!
Ralph's Catering is hands down AMAZING! I suggest them all the time! Professional, kind, great with communication, superior food, great pricing, knowledgeable friendly staff, and always willing to go the extra mile with a smile! I am a planner, Soirees by Sonya, and I know that one of the biggest vendors you hire is catering. People love food. Ralph's food is wonderful and served fresh and hot! I love doing table visits at a Ralph's catering event. Guests always want to know where the food came from. And I tell them and Ralph's does a lot of catering gigs and has a huge, loyal customer base! Yum, yum in the tum tum!
With Ralph's Catering, at our Wedding, I gained a best friend. Mia! there are no words to describe how amazing you are. I sent what... 200 emails I a span of 3 weeks. But you followed them all with more attentiveness than I know I could ever give! SO happy you were able to be AT our wedding!!! We have been to a lot of weddings where you hear the whispers of how the food sucks! WELL NOT AT OURS! Every single person said "The night was perfect, the weather, the barn, the FOOD! We ate it all. That Tortellini was a perfect touch" Honestly Ralph's knew what we didnt know we needed. They gave so many suggestions at our tasting that we just said "YUPP you're 100% right" as a response. The staff was just amazing. So attentive to us, and believe it or not the big man Ralph was OUT THERE serving too. This company was by far our BEST choice. Not once were we let down, ignored, or spoken down to. ANYTHING you need catered, just don't look any further, Ralph's is it!! And although we'd pay just about anything knowing what we know now, the prices were very reasonable! And the payment schedule was SO laid back. Just an amazing experience, we wouldn't change a thing. Mia even suggested a drink that became our Signature Cocktail of the night!
Ralph's Catering did such an amazing job with my wedding this past weekend! My guests could not stop talking about how delicious the food was and about the friendly staff! Their prime rib was cooked to perfection and their stuffed pork florentine was out of this world! Mia was a pleasure to work with, especially during the pandemic. She never gave up hope for my dream wedding and created unique ways to follow the restrictions in MA. My husband and I are very pleased with their company and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for catering for any event! Thank you!
Ralph's Catering provides such delicious food!!!!! Our guests are still telling us how great it was!! Mia was amazing to work with and would always answer back quickly. If you are looking for amazing food you HAVE to book Ralph's!!
Ralph’s catered our wedding and they were wonderful! The food and service were incredible and meals were beautifully presented. All entrees were perfect as were our passed appetizers and cocktails. They were a pleasure to work with and Mia made this experience easy for us especially during the pandemic. If you want great food and service - we highly recommend!
Ralph catered our wedding and rehearsal dinner at Five Bridge Inn in Rehoboth, MA. We cannot rave enough about the food and service of Ralph's Catering! Ralph and Mia got all 240 of our guests through the dinner buffet in under 20 minutes - truly amazing! His staff went above and beyond in helping us to set up the centerpieces, using leftover flowers and greenery to decorate the buffet tables, and taking care of the wedding party. He even brought over a tray of sandwiches for us to eat while we were getting ready before the ceremony! Our guests still haven't stopped raving about the appetizers (Ralph even threw in an extra!), the delicious prime rib carving station and pasta sides, and of course the service. We highly recommend the bacon wrapped shrimp, panko crusted chicken tenders, mac and cheese shooters, caprese skewers, and pigs in a blanket for appetizers. The artisanal cheese station was out of this world, too!
If you're looking for a caterer for your event - look no more, because it doesn't get better than Ralph's. It's the perfect combination of delicious food, high quality service, and amazing value.
We used Ralph's for both our rehearsal dinner and reception at Five Bridge Inn. The food was incredible and the staff was equally amazing. Ralph's is flexible, affordable, and all the while never comprises on delicious, high-quality food. Mia was the absolute best in helping us select our menu and plan for the big day. Ralph was on site the night of our reception carving up drool-worthy prime rib. Can't recommend this caterer enough--you don't be disappointed!!!
We used Ralph’s Catering for our wedding at Five Bridge Inn. They were AMAZING! From the tasting (Mia was extremely helpful!), to cocktail hour, to the reception diner- they did an outstanding job! Ralph went above and beyond multiple times on our wedding day which we GREATLY appreciate but the most important thing was the food was delicious, and our guest were full and happy. Thank you Ralph- you were an absolute pleasure to work with!
Ralph's was the caterer that came with our wedding venue package and it was the BEST package we could have chosen. Their food was amazing! The tasting was great--the owner, Ralph, came out to introduce himself to us during the tasting. We went home with about 5 take out boxes from the tasting and were so full and happy. At our wedding our guests were raving about our menu served. From the cheese platter to the passed appetizers to the meal everything was delicious and perfect. We hired them for as our bartender as well and the service was perfect. We would recommend anyone to Ralph's Catering! We picked the chicken parm & the steak as our meal choices. Our passed appetizers were mac&cheese shots and panko crusted chicken tenders!
We had our wedding at Five Bridge Inn & Ralph's came as a recommendation from them, we were not disappointed! Delicious food with a ton of options. Beautiful cheese display and bar layout. The day of the wedding, the servers assisted largely in the set-up of our centerpieces and decor and it turned out gorgeous! They even brought us sandwiches while we were getting ready earlier in the day, reminding us to actually eat! We ended up meeting Ralph at the end of the night & he was just a pleasure to speak with. Highly recommended, can't go wrong!
We were so, so happy that we chose Ralph's for our wedding a few weeks ago! They were recommended to us by our venue, and after seeing how long they've partnered with our venue (as well as tasting their food) it seemed like the smartest choice. But we couldn't believe how far they went above and beyond for us. We worked closely with Mia to make sure all details were set for the day. As our day was scheduled, time was very tight. Mia offered to have Ralph's set up our centerpieces and gift table as long as we provided clear instructions. This alone saved us so much stress! Not to mention, Ralph's team made it even more beautiful than we imagined! I was really, truly blown away. Even all the way down to the dinnerware selection, Ralph's has a variety that will absolutely compliment any aesthetic you're looking for.
Now for the food. We had a large wedding (230 guests), so we opted for the carving station buffet. Our guests LOVED IT. There was so much to choose from and everything was delicious. One guest took me aside during the reception just to give me a review about the the prime rib and that is was the best she has ever had.
We were so happy we went with Ralph's. At the end of the night, Ralph's found us to check it to see how everything was. The following day, Mia followed up with us to let us know where Ralph's had placed our leftover things so we would know exactly where to find them. If you are wondering if you should go with Ralph's, I hope this review helps solidify your decision.
Ralph's Catering absolutely blew my mind the day of my wedding. I knew from the tasting and the reputation that the food was going to be great, but they went above and beyond to make our day better than we could have ever imagined. We didn't want your every day wedding meal, we wanted it to be different. Instead of a buffet, we did food stations and the set up was incredible. Everyone was raving about the food and all of the staff was so helpful and friendly. Sharon was so helpful making sure that all of our questions were answered and every single detail was taken care of. There is no other way to describe my day other than perfection, and Ralph's Catering played such a huge role in making our vision come to life!
We used Ralph's for our wedding on 5/13/17. I cannot express how perfect everything went- both Sharon and Ralph were INCREDIBLE to work with and their staff were all top notch and very professional! They were very responsive with any questions we had, and Sharon remained in contact with us right up until the day of to assure everything would go smoothly. The food on the day of was absolutely wonderful, everything was cooked to perfection and our guests couldn't stop raving about how great it all was. We had so many options to choose from, and we absolutely made all of the right choices.
Ralphs Catering did an amazing job! Not only was our wedding food outstanding, but they were so accommodating to all of our needs. Ralph took it upon himself to make the carving station incredible, and that was so appreciated!
Ralph's catering is HANDS DOWN the best place you can get your catering needs catered to, see what I did there? But on a serious note, the staff was absolutely amazing. One thing for sure which really won me over is that they have one of their staff catering to your needs. During cocktail hour while taking photos, the staff member was bringing myself, the bride and the bridal party food. I truly saw that is true customer service. The staff member made sure throughout the rest of the night that we were eating and made sure that we had everything that we needed in order for us to have the greatest day ever. Lastly, when the catering crew was cleaning up, the staff member came up to us and brought us 3 to-go boxes with food for us to enjoy later. That was going above and beyond the call of duty. The food was TO DIE FOR. We had the prime rib, turkey, chicken parm and pasta. I could eat this food every day for the rest of my life. The seasoning was JUST RIGHT, the prime rib was juicy, the vodka sauce was DELICIOUS and I could go on but I don't think I have the room. Ralph's is the place to go. Point. Blank. Period.

I got married at the Five Bridge Inn in Rehoboth. They suggested Ralph's Catering the day we booked the venue. We made an appointment for a food tasting with Ralph's and they did not disappoint. There were so many options it was hard to decide! We knew we wanted buffet style but we did not realize how much food came with that package. It came with plenty of appetizers for cocktail hour and for the dinner portion, we were able to do a carving station for prime rib & turkey, and we also did my favorite, chicken parm! The package included three types of pasta, salads, vegetables, and potatoes. There was almost too much food which is always a good sign! Everyone was going up for a second or third round! Not only was the food amazing but the staff was nothing short of perfect. The staff continued to check in on me to make sure I was eating and to make sure everything was fine! One of the staff members even noticed I wasn't eating because I was so filled with emotions that eating was the last thing I could do - so she personally asked Ralph if she could make me and my new husband a to go container - which she did! I loved that I was able to enjoy the food because if it wasn't for that - I wouldn't have been able to taste it! Ralph's Catering went above and beyond. The staff was extremely polite and caring. I felt like they were members of my family checking in on me to make sure my day was perfect. At the end of the night, Ralph himself came out to check on me. I can't even say how awesome that was to have people caring about my big day. Lastly, the prices fit perfectly with our budget. We met with so many caterers who wanted to charge $80-100 a person and let me tell you, Ralph's is not that caterer. Thank you Ralph's for being affordable and making everyone extremely full at the end of the night! We would HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
I LOVE Ralph's!!! Leading up to my wedding, my fiance and I tried out 3 different caterers and researched at least 3 or 4 more. We went with Ralph's and I'm so HAPPY we did. My family is Italian and my husband's is Dominican. We needed great Italian food that my discerning relatives would love and appreciate, while still finding a caterer that could appease and impress my inlaws. Ralph went OVER and above. The part I was most amazed by is that not only did we meet with Ralph himself during our planning process, but he was the one onsite, from the prep on through the serving of the dinner. While working out the details of what, when, and how much, I had the incredible pleasure of working with Sharon. I couldn't have been happier with my experience with her. The food was pretty much tied with venue (if not first) when it came to elements that needed to be perfect, and Sharon made me feel beyond comfortable. She was on top of EVERYTHING while being easy going and accommodating. I had some crazy ideas and requests and Ralph's was willing to work with me on all of them!
On the day, their staff was beyond fantastic! Everyone took the time to come and introduce themselves to me. They'd worked many times before at the venue I'd selected and they were happy to provide me with some direction on the best way to go about laying out or setting up some things. Our ceremony got started a bit behind schedule and they were very flexible and accommodating to try and work to make up the time however my husband and I preferred. We opted to have a dessert table, as opposed to a wedding cake, and we provided the desserts and Ralph's helped set them and plate them so they were all displayed perfectly.
Most importantly however, the FOOD!! The food was AMAZING!! The onsite staff made sure my husband and I got to eat it and my guests could not get enough of it. For the most affordable price, we had carving stations (manned by Ralph himself), a paella that Ralph created for us off menu, pastas, salad, veggies, and potatoes, along with an additional entree. They also had a very affordable open bar so we were able to provide beer and wine to our guests, not only for the cocktail hour, but through dinner. Their selection for the cash bar was phenomenal too and I heard not one complaint!! People were beyond impressed with the spread and the presentation and thought we spent a fortune, but Ralph's made it all possible for us without breaking the bank. I would happily recommend them to ANYONE asking and if you're reading this review, you should book them with COMPLETE confidence! Best decision we made!
I used Ralph's catering for my wedding in June. They did a fantastic buffet and served the bar as well. They offered several options for my meal and were extremely easy to work with. Throughout the reception they kept us posted on the timing of everything and made sure things ran smoothly. The staff was friendly and my guest all had great things to say about the food. Overall they did a great job on everything!
