We hired the Common Man to cater our backyard wedding in Fall 2025 for about 100 guests. They were incredibly helpful in selecting our menu items, providing quotes and being generally responsive. The food was DELICIOUS and no issues on the day of at all. Highlight was definitely the butternut squash ravioli, and we had many guests asking for more. It was the perfect fall wedding menu and backyard catering service.

We hosted our son and daughter-in-law's wedding reception in July, 2025. We were really overwhelmed when deciding on a caterer. Then I found Common Man - we've always enjoyed having dinner at CM, why not cater our event? We sure made the right decision. Anni made the planning process easy, the staff at our event was so outstanding - they were not only helpful, serving with the upmost professionalism, but they were also so pleasant and friendly! The food? So excellent - every guest commented how delicious everything was. No rubber chicken in sight! We had the walnut chicken and sirloin and everything was perfectly cooked, just like their restaurants. Their pricing was extremely reasonable, much better than any competitor. I highly recommend Common Man Catering - stress over other elements of your event - you won't need to stress over the quality, attentiveness of the staff or presentation of your meal.

We've always like Common Man restaurants, so we knew we wanted them for our wedding! The hardest part was figuring out which location we needed to talk to about catering our Meredi...

th-area wedding, but once we reached out to the closest location they put us in touch with the Plymouth staff & Kaitlyn! Kaitlyn did a great job accommodating our special dietary requests (like a dairy-free vegetable), plus encouraging us to pick what we would enjoy as a couple. The pricing guide we were provided was clear, all the estimates came out as expected, and Kaitlyn was willing to explain any service fees we weren't familiar with. She was very friendly when we spoke on the phone and made sure we were satisfied with everything well in advance. On the day of, we were served a special plate of hor d'oeuvres during dinner, just in case we had missed them, and the staff packed up an extra plate of both dishes for us to take home! They also cut & served our cake, and did a great job packaging up the top tier for us to save for our anniversary. And of course, all the food was delicious! We got lots of compliments from our guests for choosing something special & so yummy. Overall, from planning to service on the big day, the Common Man Plymouth staff did a great job taking care of us and making our wedding successful!

r fast with set up and clean up, well oiled machines. We had a ton of passed Hors d'oeuvres at our wedding and a few salad and cheese and meat stations. Everyone loved the food and kept talking about which one was their favorite. You really can't go wrong with any of them. Then we had Brunch the next day, omg the breakfast sandwiches, people were taking extra for later. I would definitely use them again! We were so pleased with everything.

The Common Man felt like an obvious option for wedding catering given how delicious the food at their restaurants is, but all of our expectations were far exceeded. Our guests rave...

d about everything from their entrees to the bread and to the salad, and many noticed how seamless the staff's serving strategy was for our large wedding reception. The team was a delight, the food was incredible, and we were absolutely thrilled with the outcome.

Common Man off-site catering did a great job with the food for our wedding. Our mains — short rib, haddock with lobster cream sauce, and pesto cavatappi pasta — were really delicio...

us and well done. Many people talked about how good the mains and the appetizers were throughout the night and after our wedding. The waiters and waitresses were professional and even provided me (the bride) with a plate of all of the cocktail hour appetizers during dinner because they knew brides hardly ever get to try them during cocktail hour! Very kind. My only complaint was that they were delayed in getting the food out during our reception, so some of our guests weren't yet fed before the dance floor opened. Not a huge deal though. Overall, the food was great, and we really enjoyed working with them throughout the whole process!

eginning to end. Common Man was flexible, easy to communicate with, provided excellent service, and set up and took down things without us even knowing - they were GREAT! Their prices for the food and service you received was incredibly reasonable. The tasting was so much fun, their crew sat you with people who were also getting married at your venue so you could chat. The team was very knowledgeable about their menu, for both rehearsal and dinner. I would highly recommend The Common Man to cater your wedding!!
