Matthew was one of the best parts, and decisions, of our wedding! From coordinating rentals, making the menus for every place setting, his help, guidance, and patience with all my ...
questions (I think our email chain reached 100 emails!), his whole team’s interactions and with guests, setting up and serving, his suggestions on menu items to fit the vibe we were going for while still working within our budget, and accommodating any dietary restriction with ease, so much of the wedding stress was relieved with the help of the Ripley Hospitality crew. Our guests still talk about the amazing food (and Matthew himself), and our wedding was in May! If you need a caterer for your wedding, or any event, Evan and his team are your people! Can’t wait for us to host more events in the future so we can work with them again. Included a couple pictures from our wedding, not all of the apps/entrees are pictured. These guys are seriously awesome!!
