Boy are we glad our wedding was on a Sunday. Given Seth's popularity, he is usually booked 1-2 years in advance for weddings. We got lucky and were able to book him just about a year in advance.
We were a bit apprehensive about signing a contr...act and putting down a deposit before a tasting session. But given Seth's sterling reputation, we were inclined to make the booking. We are SO HAPPY that we did. The tasting was incredible, and proof to us that we had found an amazing caterer for our wedding.
One of the things that impressed us the most with Seth was his timely responses. We mostly chose options that were a part of his standard menu, however, there were some traditional Polish dishes we wanted to have at the wedding. Although they weren't on the menu, Seth said it wasn't a problem and pierogi happened!
Immediately after the ceremony, we were hungry but we had to run off and take photos. His staff made sure to bring a tray of hors d'oeuvre over to us, in our own private area off to the side, and make sure we didn't forget to eat. I think we ate too many. We got the Artichoke Beignets, Blackened Kielbasa, and Pecan Parmesan Stuffed Dates Wrapped in Bacon. It was absolutely incredible. And the staff kept coming over to make sure we had everything we needed. It made the wedding stress-free.
Seth also worked with us very closely to make sure our dinner menu was well balanced so that our vegetarian guests would be just as happy as everyone else, and he made suggestions on a variety of pastas and summer vegetables that were well-cooked, vibrant, and flavorful. We had a Dijon Salmon and a Goat Cheese and Pistachio Crusted Chicken, to which we received a great deal of positive remarks.
We never actually met Seth in person, but his staff were an extension of him. Professional, courteous, and skilled at navigating around changing schedules and concerned mothers.
If you're looking for one of the best wedding caterers in Western Massachusetts and are getting your planning done with enough time to spare, book Seth as early and as quickly as you can. You will be happy that you did.
