We loved Simple Fare! The food was absolutely delicious, working with them was so easy, communication was constant, and I sometimes felt like Maeghan was my second Wedding Coordina...
tor. She had so many good ideas and always kept our vision and most importantly (to us), our budget in mind! She helped us organize our floor plan in a way that kept things running smooth and kept people partying - for example, coffee and desserts on the edge of the dance floor to keep people dancing all night! As someone who had no idea where to begin planning, I appreciated every bit of guidance Maeghan provided.
Our venue had a list of preferred caterers but we specifically went off-list so we could work with Simple Fare! Because they were not pre-approved, there were some additional hoops to jump through, but Maeghan and Candice and everyone at Simple Fare went above and beyond to make sure everything was covered and that the process was smooth on our end. Truly no extra steps were added for us.
Candice was our on-site event manager and went the extra mile to make sure our dinner service ran smoothly. She coordinated tables for the buffet so there was never a line, and stopped by our sweetheart table multiple times to make sure we had everything we needed or wanted! The bartenders and servers did an amazing job and seemed to be having a great time during the reception, which in turn made all the guests have an even better time! Who says you can't have fun while doing your job, you know?
Everyone raved about the food, and I can attest it was delicious. Get the short rib!!! And the oatmeal raisin cookies :) I'd recommend their food and service to anyone planning an event!

We have loved working at the team from Simple Fare for all of our parties. They are extremely personable and accommodating, and so helpful. We have some significant food allergies ...
in our family and they are always thoughtful and take them seriously. They can make things fancy or chill and they’re always willing to go along with whatever ideas you have about food, offering helpful insight about how much to order for your crowd and type of event. We really love working with them and their food is terrific!

A+ experience all the way through. Maeghan was so helpful and patient with us not knowing what we were doing and changing our minds throughout the planning phases. When I had que...
stions I could always count on her getting back to me within a day, often the same day. The staff that were on site the day of the wedding were phenomenal; professional, kind, and EFFICIENT. I didn't get a chance to interact with them too much as I was losing my mind most of the day. We arrived late to the venue and they were already there; had tidied up the things we'd left out from setup the night before and were setting tables for us. They kept things running smoothly the whole day and went well beyond what I expected for clean up. I was too wound up and anxious to eat at all, but the guests all said the food was excellent. The only complaint I have is that clean-up may have been TOO efficient, we had to go hunting for boxes afterwards! :)
