The Festive Board absolutely blew us—and our guests—away! People are still raving about the brisket, and we loved the mac & cheese so much we’re still enjoying vacuum-sealed leftov...
ers. The mashed potatoes were so popular we didn’t even have any left! The BBQ buffet was a total hit, and the appetizers were delicious, too—everything was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented.
Chuck, in particular, was phenomenal. He went so far above and beyond to make sure we were cared for. Before the reception speeches, he quietly slipped behind me to remove a stain from my dress—without me even asking. He personally brought over plates of appetizers and our meals so we didn’t have to leave our seats or wait in line, and he made sure our families were taken care of too. His behind-the-scenes attention to detail didn’t go unnoticed—he was everywhere, making sure everyone was happy and full.
He even came down to the farmhouse before everything kicked off, gave me a big hug, told me how beautiful I looked, and asked if I needed anything at all. Chuck also helped us figure out the right amount of alcohol to purchase and the little extras we needed for our signature drinks (mine was a margarita—and it was perfect).
The Festive Board didn’t just cater our wedding—they made us feel taken care of in every possible way. Truly one of the best vendor decisions we made!

Festive Board was my brother and sister-in-laws catering for their wedding November 15th. Joy and her team were absolutely amazing! I know discussions with my sister-in-law that th...
ey were great with communication and planning.
I came to leave a review on the day of the event. Joy came into the bridal suite and I could see the weight lift off of my sister-in-laws shoulders when she explained their plan.
They mentioned prior to the event to set one table and leave the rest to their access and they would do all the tables. When I went in to check out things, not only were they finished in record time, it was absolutely outstanding!
The venue itself was suppose to provide a coordinator....well...let was a let down. Joy basically stepped in and filled that spot without hesitation. We were also fearful the day of the bartender wasn't going to show...again the venue was GREAT up until a certain point, which is a whole other review in itself, but Joy calmed us by letting us know her and a few of her team were RAMP certified they could fill in as needed.
It went for uncertainty to no worries at all in minutes. I truly cannot talk anymore highly of Joy and her team and their entire presence at the wedding.
The food was also spectacular and there was so much! They definitely gave it their all, were professional, helpful and all around such a pleasure to be around.
THANK YOU!

Joy and the entire Festive Boards team added so much heart and care to our wedding day. From the very beginning, they treated us with genuine kindness and made us feel so supported...
throughout the whole planning process. On the day of the wedding, their coordination, warmth, and attention to detail were extraordinary.
The food was incredible—not only delicious but clearly made with pride and creativity. Our guests are still talking about it. But beyond the food, it was the service that made the biggest impact. Joy’s team went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly, and they did it all with such a joyful and uplifting spirit.
We couldn’t be more grateful. Festive Boards helped make our wedding feel effortless, beautiful, and filled with love. We wholeheartedly recommend Joy and her team to anyone wanting a catering experience that is both exceptional and deeply caring.

d months prior to the wedding everyone was quick to respond and solve any last minute questions/concerns. The reason I am giving a 4 star is 3 weeks before the wedding there was no response to various questions until the week of the wedding. I was then notified my day of go to person was now changing. The day of the wedding we did not get chicken Marsala, we got a breaded chicken with mushroom sauce.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience — highly recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing catering team who truly cares about their couples!

To Sherri and the Festive Board team…THANK YOU!! We got married on 10/11/25 and it was catered by The Festive Board. The tables were decorated perfect, the food was PHENOMENAL (wit...

Sherri and her team had their own little hiccup with a flat tire, but they did NOT let that stop them from providing an absolutely amazing reception. My husband and I did not go a single minute without needing anything and that helped the day be perfect. Will definitely be recommending to people I know that have weddings coming up!

I was initially so impressed by The Festive Board when I met Ed and his wife at a bridal expo over a year before my wedding. They seemed like the full package — food, dessert, bart...
enders, mixers, garnishes, and even a day-of/month-of coordinator who would help with vendors and décor. That service was a huge reason I chose them.
Leading up to the wedding, communication and planning went smoothly. However, things began to unravel the day before. My coordinator, Taylor, was supposed to attend our rehearsal, which had been confirmed weeks in advance, but she never showed. Thankfully, my venue coordinator stepped in. Taylor apologized and was ready to help the next day, but unfortunately, many other issues followed.
On the wedding day itself, the appetizers were served cold, the grazing table was disappointing (boxed crackers and Tostitos), and we ran out of mixers provided by the caterer. The bar didn’t even have water available for guests when one overheated — only lemonade. Servers were unprofessional at times, including one who rested a bussing tub on a guest’s chair and spilled dishes and food.
The buffet food was lukewarm at best. The Kona beef was dried out, and the quality overall reminded me of frozen dinners. Shockingly, one server dropped the serving spoon for the mac and cheese and continued serving guests with his gloved hand until a groomsman stopped him.
Dessert service was equally mishandled — only one of the two sheet cakes was cut and served, meaning guests who wanted vanilla never got any. The gluten-free and vegan cupcakes I ordered (with signage) were mixed up and served without any allergy notice after the sign was removed.
I never signed the “satisfaction” form I was handed at the end of the night because so many responsibilities and expectations were not met — and no one from The Festive Board has reached out since to follow up.
I truly wish this had been a positive experience, but The Festive Board fell short in food quality, professionalism, and attention to detail. My wedding day was still wonderful thanks to our family, friends, and venue team, but I would not recommend this caterer based on how many things went wrong that could have been avoided.
Response from The Festive Board on 10/30/2025
We are caterers, we supply a catering supervisor. We are not and have never been contracte...
d to be a month of coordinator. We have nothing to do with your rehearsal , unless we are catering the food. Our supervisor was very overwhelmed by your expectations of decorating and so many other things you should've hired a coordinator for.
I have tried to speak with you regarding your other accusations but instead you just want to slander us on social media.
Our supervisor , as all of our team , worked tirelessly to appease all of your expectations even though we were not contracted or paid for those services.
Please feel free to contact us to discuss as we performed all of our duties and supplied all of the food you paid for , but we were expected to cover for a coordinator position that you did not pay us or anyone for.

We hired Festive Board to provide the catering and bartenders for our wedding and we are so glad that we did!
Ed was so nice to work with planning out a menu and getting a price ...
estimate. They prepared two plates for us of our chosen foods to sample, which were prepared/presented exactly how it would be for our wedding. We decided afterwards we wanted to swap out one of the sides and they were easily accommodating.
After booking, Brigitte was our main contact since she would be the one managing our wedding day. She was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. She worked with us every step of the way to ensure we were happy with our selected foods, helped us with what/how much liquor to buy, and was amazingly helpful with making our signature drinks come to life!
We had a plated meal for 50 people, with dual entrees, and everything was delicious. The food was served hot, and just as good as when we sampled it before booking. We also added on a s’mores buffet table which was such a nice extra, many of the guests commented how unique and fun it was!
Festive Board also provided the linens, and they were beautiful! Well pressed, no wrinkles or folds, and perfectly sized to fit all of the different tables throughout the cocktail hour and reception.
At the end of the night Brigitte even had prepared an extra plate of food for my husband and I to take back to the hotel with us for a late night snack. We truly felt taken care of from the time we called for a quote, all the way through the end of our event.

My wife and I are so incredibly thankful for Festive Board for helping to make our wedding so damn perfect. The food was great but the service was even better despite it being an i...
ncredibly hot day/venue.
First the bartenders were top notch. Super friendly and always made each drink to perfection. My cocktail of choice was a Moscow Mule and it was one of the best ones I've ever had.
Secondly, the staff was always so attentive and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure our day was perfect. I wish I would've personally shaked everyone's hand because we've never felt so catered in our lives.
Lastly, our supervisor, Jennifer, was AWESOME! She made sure we had everything we needed, made sure we were perfectly fed and assisted in more ways than we could've imagined. Helping us organize our dessert table to perfection.
We were so pleased with everything that we will be frequent customers. Already looking forward to seeing familiar faces and eating their delicious food again! Wishing their team continued success!

g meals and ensuring that everyone got hot, yummy food. I had a few meetings in the weeks before the wedding to ensure that everything happened the way it was supposed to, and this just made me feel so confident in their services. I heard rave reviews all evening about the food, even hearing that it was the best wedding food they had ever had. I was so impressed with their service to my husband and me throughout the entire night. They were delivering apps and drinks while we were getting photos, as well as serving us dinner and checking on us throughout the evening. Their staff worked really well and there were so many people helping, it was very effective for a larger wedding. I was impressed from our first conversation with them, to our last. If anyone is looking for a delicious, budget-friendly caterer with great options, definitely look into The Festive Board!

We hired the Festive Board as they were recommended by our venue and were willing to make accommodations for dietary restrictions. As the bride, I have lots of food allergies and I...
wanted to make sure that I could eat as much of the food as possible, while also making sure my guests were accommodated. When we met with Ed almost 18 months before our wedding, he was kind enough to overnight mail us a tasting plate to Texas that was safe for me to eat. The food was great and we booked with them immediately. We were able and willing to pay for the catering costs up front, for which they gave us a 30% discount which made it around $55 per person for full service catering (this was booked in Dec 2023, so pricing has likely changed since then, but it was an amazing deal).
Follow up communication was a bit slow in the intervening months, but we did eventually get questions answered. Ed was a bit chaotic and "off the cuff" for my taste, as he wanted to answer my questions in a phone call without looking at the email or my file ahead of time, but once we started working with our manager Bridgette and day of manager Taylor Adams, things went a lot smoother.
Taylor in particular was absolutely AMAZING! She took time and care to make sure I knew the ingredients for each food item so that I could make sure they were properly labeled for all of our food allergy guests. They were able to make small changes to some of the menu items to make them more allergy friendly (like taking sour cream out of the mashed potatoes to make them vegan) which was a huge help. Not only was I able to eat almost every item from our buffet (with dairy, egg and nut allergies) but so were all of my guests. I got so many compliments about how amazing the food was and how accommodating we were.

We just got married on 4/19/25 at a camp site, and our experience with Festive Board was awesome every step of the way! I started out with Chuck, who helped us decide the menu, get...
the contract together, and work out details for everything, including stuff we didn't think about.
I did the final walkthrough about a month before the event with Sherri - she was so sweet, and has a lot of experience, so she helped me feel a lot more prepared for day of.
I worked with Jennifer for the week-of check in and day-of coordinator, and she was so awesome! I was in DIY mode at the venue, but she took my table chart & some decor and told me to focus on getting ready. She also checked in throughout the event to make sure that everything was going well and that we were eating (and brought us sangria during the cocktail hour! I don't know if I would've thought to grab a drink otherwise, so I really appreciated that).
All the guests had a ton of compliments for Kelly, the bartender. She was really kind and checked in on me before my walk down the aisle. Jennifer A., one of the servers, was super helpful too, and kept an eye on all the tables to make sure everyone had what they needed.
The kitchen staff were also really great - I was getting ready in a room off of the kitchen, so we saw each other pretty frequently! Juston, Greenleigh, and Brigitte were awesome, and fun to chat with afterwards when the reception was wrapping up.
For food details, we went with a version of the BBQ menu with a beer, wine, and sangria bar. Everyone loved the food - there were a ton of compliments on the eastern shore potato salad and the southwest manicotti. We also went with their s'mores bar, and it was great! They had a set up for table s'mores, but were also open to incorporating the fire pits already on site.
Setup was so easy - they were on site before we were, and were ready to go! I handed over the seating chart, bar materials, and table decor and didn't have to think about it or worry after that. Everything was set up perfectly, and they even had some extra things set up that utilized the space really well (like a new patio on site I didn't factor into my plans).
They did an awesome job cleaning up the reception site as well, which I appreciate so much. They also took care of all the trash, and packed up the leftovers for us into carefully wrapped trays (there were arguments over the tray of manicotti and the leftover cheese from the cocktail hour, lol).
Festive Board was the first vendor I booked, and they really set the standard for the rest of the process. I would absolutely suggest checking them out - I met them at a bridal show, and I'm so grateful I did.

Replicated the sample table perfectly! We got ahead of schedule after the ceremony and they rolled with it. Even made a suggestion with consolidating tables, when one only had 2 guest. Made sure our parents and my husband and I had drinks or whatever else we need. Clean up crew was amazing and packaged the leftover food, making it very easy for transporting home.

They have so many options that all sounded amazing. We went with our first pick but I wish I would've tried the other main dish options just to be able to compare. It was all delicious! We had so many leftovers because our initial guess of how many people was about 30-40 less than the day of; So, we sent people home with plates and they loved that!
Overall, you get what you pay for. It was amazing service, advice, coordination, stress free, and delicious food, but of course it was more expensive than other options.

out of this world! The hot appetizers were so good, but the food itself was mediocre. Some things came out a bit cold, and other things were dry. Thats the only reason I gave 4 stars. They are still definitely worth booking with if food isn't a big priority for you solely because of all the other things they provide.

Chuck and his team saw to every detail of my son and now daughter-in-law's recent wedding. Chuck had an amazing eye for detail which he somehow kept attuned to not only the food p...
resentation, etc., but to the needs of each guest (there were over 130 people seated for dinner).
Thank you sincerely, Chuck, for insuring a memorable event!

INCREDIBLE. Start to finish, the Festive Board was the best catering I could ask for. We started with a consultation with Ed, the owner. He had a great knowledge of the menu and ca...
tering large events. Ed helped us plan our menu — There are multiple pre-planned menus, but you can mix and match to meet your needs. We were then overnighted two FULL plates of our selected items to sample: 2 entrees, 2 vegetables, and 2 sides. We were able to make any changes to what we selected if we didn’t like anything. The all-in price also included stationed and passed appetizers for cocktail hour, a salad before the meal, cutting of the cake, and a s’mores bar! It was the same price whether you wanted plated or buffet style. Linens, tableware, glassware, and bartenders were also included. Guests raved about the food and service. Taylor was awesome with communication and Dorothy (FOH supervisor) was great with details and keeping things running smoothly.

We had an absolutely stellar experience with Festive Board for our wedding. From start to finish, they exceeded our expectations. We especially loved that they delivered the tastin...
g plates directly to our home, allowing us to enjoy the selection process at our own pace. Their professionalism shone through every step of the way, and we greatly appreciated that they included a bartender and servers, which added to the seamless and special experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better catering experience. Highly recommend!

Ed, the owner, went above and beyond in helping us choose food remotely (we're from Pittsburgh but were having the wedding in Fort Loudon, PA). After patiently walking us through,...
he delivered sample dinner plates to our front door within 2 days!! The food was amazing. We went with the briquet and pulled pork type menu and EVERY guest was impressed. But, the food was just part of what makes this Caterer stand out. Sheri, the events manager and her crew showed up hours before the wedding with linens, and set-up all the place settings, managed the cocktail hour, and served the guests and the Bridal Family like seasoned pros! Sincerely...for hours after the wedding, my family kept gushing about how "at peace" Sheri made us all feel with the way she handled everything. This is our family's second wedding and I wish we had known The Festive Board for the first!

My daughters wedding was 7/20/24 and we had Chucks team. His team were very nice, attentative and worked hard to get the venue set up as well as clean up.
Chuck was awesome with...
communicating to all parties involved.
Food was delicious as my daughter chose to have an appetizer/buffet style dinner. The team was on top of refreshing foods that were near empty.
Prior to chosing Festive Board we were given samples of the food we chose. Food was delicious and had a variety of appetizers.
Price was right and I am glad Festive Board Catering was chosen.
I thank the team for a wonderful job well done!!

My husband and I were beyond impressed with the attention to detail provided by Festive Board throughout our wedding planning process. They were quickly responsive to email, questi...
ons, and my tendency to confirm details on several occasions. Chuck was the savior of our wedding day - he served us dinner, made sure we were hydrated (especially with margs), and even went above and beyond to assist with reception decorating and fluffing my dress at the start of the aisle. I do not have the words to describe how essential Chuck was for us. If you are considering Festive Board, book with them! You will love their food, and so will your guests. Thank you so much Festive Board, especially you Chuck!

What a fantastic experience! When I first reached out to Festive Board and spoke with Ed to come up with a menu and price quote for my wedding, I felt like I was in great hands. Ed...
was professional, detailed, and thorough. There were so many food options to choose from to please everyone on our guest list. Our day-of-coordinator at the wedding, Chuck, was PHENOMENAL! He went over every detail with me a few weeks before the wedding so I knew exactly what to expect, and made a lot of helpful suggestions. The day of the wedding, Chuck and his staff were friendly and well-prepared. I received so many compliments on the food from my guests, and I received so many compliments on Chuck! Chuck really went above and beyond! Not only did he manage the food, but he also helped two guests with walking issues to their cars, made sure myself and my husband had food and drinks throughout the day, and even made sure our dog had water. Thank you so much to the Festive Board for making my day perfect!

The Festive Board was 100% the right choice for my daughter's wedding. FIVE STARTS ALL THE WAY!! When I discussed the wedding date with Ed he knew that my daughter and her fiancé...
lived in Louisiana. After we spoke he had another request for that same date and what he did next for us is what I call going above and beyond. He prepared and shipped 2 plates of food we chose for our menu using the same plates and silverware to my daughter with easy instructions on how to reheat in order for her to taste and approve and save her date. Communication back and forth before the wedding was very professional. The staff provided was exceptional. Three different crews were provided for setting up, cocktail hour and the reception so everything was done on time and perfect. The wedding was outdoors and in June so we had an antique tea cart set up next to the ceremony and Festive Board took care of supplying lemonade and iced tea for the guests. They also took care of tear down afterwards and had the leftover food packaged in containers on a table for us to take home. The pricing was very reasonable and within our budget. I was amazed that our price included real plates, silverware and glassware not paper or plastic, tablecloths and napkins, etc. I can't stress enough how wonderful, polite & courteous the staff was. Chuck was in charge of the crew on the wedding day and he was the BEST! At one point he had a question for my daughter who was up line dancing at the time so he joined right in on the dance with her, asked the question, and popped right back out. She never had to stop a beat! Chuck asked if he could then communicate mostly with me as to not bother the bride and groom which I felt was very thoughtful of him. Now to the food, DELICIOUS! We received so many compliments on how delicious everything was. When it comes to price, value and service you can't go wrong with The Festive Board!

We are so glad we were able to work with Sherri and her crew. The food was delicious and presented beautifully. We opted to have our food brought to our guests rather than buffet...
style at no extra cost. The bartenders were friendly and accommodating when we had a last minute change with our dinner location due to the heat. We would definitely recommend them to anyone having a special event.

We absolutely loved festive board!! We live in Louisiana but had our wedding in PA however festive board was real easy to communicate with. They even shipped our chosen food to us ...
for tasting which was extremely helpful.
Chuck handled our wedding day and he was amazing! He was so fun and upbeat the whole time. He checked on us frequently and made sure we had everything we needed to have a great time throughout the evening. Food was delicious and everything ran so smoothly from start to finish. I would definitely recommend people to use festive board for their wedding/event. You won’t be disappointed.

h and their food was delicious, they even wrap up the leftovers for you to take home! However, they started cleaning up our reception hall by 8 PM when it only ended at 9 PM. Was a little disappointed to start seeing all of our decorations going down so early in the night.
