Relish Catering and Events

Kelli was amazing to work with through the process of planning our wedding. From the beginning she was willing to work with us on our budget and came up with an amazing menu that we were excited about and was within what we wanted to spend. Due to restrictions as a result of COVID-19 we were forced to make some changes to our wedding and Kelli was so helpful in navigating it all. The wedding day food was so unbelievably delicious! Our guests commented that it was the best wedding food that they had ever had!

Kelli and her team at Relish Catering were absolutely incredible. We chose them to cater our wedding at my parents' house, and we are so glad we did! From start to finish, everything was perfect. Kelli was so helpful and patient during the menu-planning process, and helped us to create the perfect reception. She was incredible organizing exactly what we needed for rentals, and made sure everything on the day ran smoothly. We didn't have to worry about anything. On the day, the setup was beautiful, the food was delicious (people were raving about it all night), and all of the little touches they added to the night, like setting up the drinks table on the porch and thinking to warm up the apple cider, just made it even more special. Everyone on the team was so nice, professional, and efficient, and really went above and beyond to keep the house clean and beautiful during the event, and spotless after the night was over. We couldn't be happier!

Kelli and her team were crucial to the success of our wedding day. A backyard wedding provides a number of obstacles, but Kelli and her network of partners made the entire process incredibly smooth and her food was a hit. Months later we are still hearing from our friends and family about how great the food was. Thank you, Kelli!

We got married on a horse farm in Ipswich this past June. We did a lot of planning ourselves including all equipment rentals. It was wonderful not to have to worry about anything involving catering. Kelli took care of it all, from organization, linens and catering tent rental, to clean up. Her staff was wonderful. And the food was amazing. I wanted casual (stations), with a New England flair. The menu Kelli put together was perfect and within our budget. I got a ton of compliments especially from the out of towners on our New England station of mini lobster rolls, clam chowder, and fried clam strips. Kelli was also able to easily accommodate those with gluten allergies. I'd highly recommend relish catering.

On a magical late August night we had a wedding.............under a tent............in the middle of a field on an historic farm. In a separate 15’x15’ catering tent Kelli Petrie and her staff were making their own magic.........a magnificent meal featuring the bounty of late summer in New England! In addition to delicious food, beautifully prepared and presented, Kelli’s staff was discrete, unfailingly courteous and efficient. What more is there - perfect food, perfect presentation and perfect service. I’ll only add that my son in law and his brother, both New York City restauranteers, declared this the best meal they had ever been served at a wedding bar none. My sincere thanks to Kelli and her exceptional staff for their part in a perfect wedding evening.

Relish far exceeded our expectations for our wedding. Kelli was great to work with and the food was exceptional! From the appetizers to our entrees the food was all excellent. We decided on a Family Style service and had concerns that there would be enough food for our guests. Not only was there plenty, we probably had more than enough! Every element of our meal was great. We have had reviews from our guests that the food was the best they've ever had at a wedding. Kelli was really great to work with. She was flexible, responsive and accommodating. Relish delivered the perfect meal, within our budget and service that was best in class. From the oysters to the local Cookie Monstah cookies with milk shot glasses, Relish delivered big time in an unforgettable event. I would highly recommend Relish for your wedding or event. You will not be disapointed.

We highly recommend Relish Catering. We hired Kelli for our DIY wedding and she was incredibly helpful in designing a menu that fit our budget that was still elegant and delicious. She also assisted with ordering rentals, which was very important as I had no idea what we needed. Our guests raved about the food! Her staff was also very professional and went above and beyond to ensure the venue was clean when they left at the end of the evening.

We hired Relish catering for a welcome lunch at home the day before our August 2015 wedding. The groom's family is from Germany, so we wanted to have a fun "cele-brat-tion" (bratwurst cookout themed) lunch. Kelli was so nice and helpful with all aspects of the lunch. She came to our house before the event to help determine the best setup for the flow of a large open house style lunch. Day of, her team was amazing, with lots of cute serving pieces and made sure the presentation of everything looked amazing from start to finish. Kelli helped us source some special German ingredients, so that we could impress even our German guests with the cookout menu. Everyone was complimenting on how delicious all of the food was! We would not have been able to pull off such a fun event without the help of Kelli and her team at Relish. Their pricing is very reasonable for the top notch service they provide. We would recommend Kelli and hope to have another catered event with her soon!

My wife and I got married at my parents house in West Newbury, MA this past August and we could not have been happier with Kelli and Relish!! We live in Los Angeles so we had to plan everything from across the country. We found Relish on Google and were immediately drawn in by the beautiful pictures of their food and decor. Planning a wedding from across the country is pretty stressful but Kelli is so talented, helpful and reassuring that it made everything much easier. From planning the menu to walking through the space multiple times to plan everything meticulously, Kelli and her staff completely took care of us. We didn't want to have to worry about anything on the day and from beginning to end, Relish had everything covered brilliantly. As soon as the ceremony was over, Relish waitstaff were ready with cocktails and passed hors d'oeuvres. They were all extremely friendly, courteous, professional and completely attentive without being obtrusive to the event. When the reception started, they poured wine and water at every table and I never saw a less than half full glass the whole night. We also had 2 bars for cocktails, beer and wine. Relish organized all that as well and it was perfect. Now, the most important part - THE AMAZING FOOD. Every single person who was at our wedding raved to us about how incredibly beautiful and delicious the food was. Kelli is a very talented chef and helped us plan the menu to our taste but also gave it her own unique, gourmet signature. Everything was perfectly cooked and prepared to look beautiful as it hit the buffets at the perfect temperature and look. And I don't even remember really noticing it happening, but as soon as everyone was done with dinner, the place was spotless and every guest was being handed a glass of champagne for toasts. Again, everything was seamless and perfect. I can't say enough good things about Kelli and Relish. They truly made our wedding day better than we imagined it. We feel so lucky to have found them and would urge everyone to use them for their event. In fact, some people from our wedding were so impressed that the day after our wedding, they hired Relish for their wedding next year.
