White's Catering made our wedding in Brewster, MA truly a perfect day! The attention to detail, kind and professional staff, and excellent planning in the months leading up to our wedding was exceptional. And not to mention the food was delicious! Our guests loved the passed apps and the simple yet upscale entrees. Highly recommend White's Catering!
Where to begin with Bobby O and his team at White’s catering. We met Bobby O almost 2 years prior to our wedding and immediately a friendship emerged. His responsiveness was second to none. When it came to the big day we had the utmost confidence in his team to deliver on arguably one of the most important aspects of a wedding … food. We are huge foodies and our friends and family could not stop raving about the food put out by White’s catering. From the raw bar, to the passed apps at cocktail hour, to our plated surf and turf entree, nothing took a backseat. We look forward to all the times to come with Bobby O, but will be forever grateful for his attention to detail and how he and his team executed our big day. If we could rate more than 5 stars we would in all domains. Don’t wait on hiring White’s catering for your next big event.
When multiple guests come up to the groom (me) both during the wedding reception and in the days after and tell him that the food the caterer served was tasty and delicious and the best they have ever eaten at a wedding and also praise the smooth and well organized service at the buffet, and when the bride and groom happen to agree, then you know the caterer is a good one. We wholeheartedly endorse and recommend White's Catering.

Thanks for the amazing review Andrew!
I am happy you, your family and your guests enjoyed our food and service.
It was a pleasure working with you..
Any questions?
White’s was very professional and the food was delicious! Bob was very involved in making sure our day was a success. Definitely recommend!
2 weeks later and we are still getting texts every day raving about our food! Bob and his team were a dream to work with. The food is incredible, they have SO many options and they were so accomodating to everything that we needed. Bob went out of his way to find us on our day to introduce himself and check in on if we needed anything. I couldn't recommend White's Catering enough!

Hi Emma
Sorry for my delay in responding, June has been a very month for us.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review and attached photos!
It was a pleasure working with you and i am glad we were able to help make your special day successful...
and stress-free.
Fabulous from start to finish - we couldn't be more pleased with Bob and the team. Highly recommend!
My experience with Whites Catering, Bob, his staff... 10/10. A hurricane was planned to hit the cape the day of my wedding and I couldn't have felt more secure and supported by my vendors. Bob recommended our tent company who he worked so closely with to make sure the whole day was perfect. Everything was on time, seamless, and the food was DELICIOUS. Nearly every one of my guests came up to me to let me know the apps we chose were some of the best they have ever had. I would very highly recommend Whites Catering and I hope be able to hire Bob for other events in the future!
Our wedding day was magical with the help of Bob Oldsman and his staff. We had a new england clam bake, but with so many people preferring steak, Bob was very accomodating. His wait staff were total professionals and a pleasure to work with. Please keep in mind that all of our hard work putting the reception together was done long distance as I live on the North Shore with an Outer Cape wedding happening on 9/9/2023. I truly can't thank Bob enough for all of his help and guidance making our special day Magical ! I highly recommend White's Catering to anyone in need of a caterer on the cape.
Bob was fantastic from beginning to end - he thought of everything, double checked everything for me, and we received so many complements on the food! He was extremely friendly and easy to work with- highly recommend!!!
I worked with Bob from White's catering for our lobster clambake party at our wedding. It was a great experience! Bob knew our venue well and made planning easy.
On the day of the event, Bob and his team did an amazing job. They took care of everything and made sure everything went smoothly. The food, especially the lobsters and clams, was delicious. Our guests loved it!
The whole experience was fantastic. Our guests had a lot of fun and couldn't stop talking about the party.
I highly recommend White's catering for your future events.
Bob is the best! I highly recommend him and his team. Bob's impact in making our wedding day a success started long before the food was being served. My now husband and I opted for a DIY backyard ceremony and reception, and Bob helped us pull it off flawlessly. Bob had multiple good suggestions that I'm glad we were able to incorporate -- listen to this man, he knows his stuff!
On our actual wedding day, Bob and his team were instrumental in our reception going smoothly -- Bob made sure we stayed on schedule, and even made some adjustments on the fly due to rain when I asked that we break down a couple of tables in our tent to make room for dancing. The servers were friendly and professional and took care to mention allergens while serving the delicious passed appetizers to our guests. The dinner buffet moved quickly because of how Bob had set it up and staffed it with servers, and the herb-crusted salmon was to die for!
Even though Bob and his team were our only professional vendor besides our photographer, they made our reception such a success that we had multiple guests tell us it was the best wedding ever! Thank you, Bob, for all you did to give us the best reception we could have asked for and will be remembering fondly for the rest of our lives!
Amazing job done by White’s for my 100 person wedding on May 6th in Eastham. Every course was delicious. Service and staff were efficient and barely noticed them cleaning up. Bob was amazing with coordination with the menu choices. His follow-up is impeccable. I highly recommend White’s.
We loved the food White's Catering provided at our wedding. The alfredo was exceptional as was the chicken, and we were extremely satisfied with the amount of food the supplied for the buffet. Plenty for leftovers! The staff was incredibly easy to work with and flexible to make our day as seamless as possible. I would definitely recommend them!
Bob and his team did an amazing job catering our backyard (tented) wedding of 65 people in Cape Cod. From day one, Bob listened to our vision, gave very sound advice, and made the whole process extremely smooth. From the beginning of our wedding planning, food was very important to us, and we knew we wanted to do a completely custom menu. Bob was more than happy to accommodate our request, and remained excited throughout the creation process to offer thoughts from his team and chef that helped to ultimately make the meal the most delicious and beautiful dinner we could've hoped for. Our family-style meal, of meats, fish, and veggies ended up being an insanely fresh and bountiful spread. Most importantly, it was DELICIOUS. Our guests are still texting us about particular dishes (the fish and meat were perfectly cooked too), and nearly everyone took home a menu so they could remember the meal :-)
Operationally speaking, Bob and his team were on time, extremely knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make our guests feel taken care of. Bob came early, stayed through dessert, and even came back the next day to make sure everything was cleaned up. He is clearly a professional and knows the wedding industry inside and out.
I would 100% recommend White's Catering for anyone looking for delicious food and a kind and generous staff. We only wish we could hold another event with them as soon as possible, to taste their amazing food again!
Bob and his team were excellent to work with. They provided reliable and thorough communication throughout the planning process.
The event went off without a hitch. Our guests raved about the food - from cocktail hour appetizers, to the raw bar, to the dinner itself. The catering staff made sure we were well taken care of throughout the night.
We would highly recommend White's Catering to anyone looking to have a memorable and delicious event on the cape.

Hi Sarah
Thank you so much for the great review. It was a pleasure working with you and i am so happy you and Matt, your family and friends enjoyed my chefs food and the service my staff provided.

Bob
Bob was outstanding. I didn’t have a separate wedding coordinator, and the wedding was under several tents in my yard which added to the complexity. Bob helped not only with all the food specifics, but with the logistics of the day as well and worked seamlessly with the tenting company, the photographer, the bartenders, the florist and the DJ to make sure everything was perfect. He made suggestions to streamline and make the day run smoothly. The food was outstanding. Bobs attention to detail was great. I would highly highly recommend Bob for your caterer!!!

Hi Cristen
I am so happy you enjoyed our food and service.
It truly was wonderful working with you and the first time in 22 years of business that there were two llamas at the reception :)
Thanks for the great review!
Bob
Where to start?! Absolutely the best experience!! The attention to detail is unmatched and the communication was perfect. Bob and his team made everything about planning our daughters wedding a breeze. We were very nervous about hosting our daughters wedding for almost 100 people at our home. They made it easy and fun. Their years of experience helped guide us to a perfect day and night. Our guests raved about the food and service. The Korean BBQ Beef Tacos and the Fire-grilled Asian Style Steak Tips were out of this world. We would highly recommend White's Catering for any and all your catering needs.
Response from the Vendor on 09/30/2022
It was equally wonderful working with you Karen!
Let me know when daughter #2 gets engaged!
Thanks for the amazing review!
Wow--where to begin. Bob Oldsman and his team at White's Catering surpassed all expectations and delivered both incredible food and outstanding service for our rehearsal dinner in Orleans, MA. We had about 60 guests and White's Catering took care of everything for us, from creating the site map to proofing the rental order to designing a menu that met all of our needs. We so appreciated Bob's attention to detail and fast response time. Thank you for making our entire cocktail hour and dinner beautiful, delicious, and stress free! We would 100% recommend White's Catering for all events on the Cape and we look forward to working with Bob again!
Waterfront event , 130 guest, under tent , 3 entries, multi rounds of appetizers .. Who wouldn't be overwhelmed...
Not Bob from White's Catering .. He assured me we were in good hands . He was right !
Personality, Punctuality, Professionalism all 3 are his calling card.. And the food ... Where to start..
Appraisers. We chose 10 items from extensive offering. All exceptional! Cant say what one was the best as they all were so great. Highly recommend!
Dinner .. He prepared 3 choices.
Steamed Lobster with chowder, Steak Tips, Swordfish steak.
Garden salad, Potato salad, Steamers ..
Selections served hot and delicious!! Not easy considering outside event.
Portions were large, enough for the hungry. But not over done.
Desert .. We went light, given the dinner offerings, Brownie's and cookies , coffee, All home made and great tasting.
Sliced Watermelon for the healthy crowd.
Bob did include a alternative dinner for non meat guests.
Were still getting calls from guest raving about the food...
Hard to please over 130 guest and me but Bob did..
His experience is there when arranging tables, where the band plays, x tables, etc. We were in very good hands. And it showed.
Highly recommend White's Catering for alll your needs.
David and I would like to give our strongest endorsement to White's catering. We opted for a short engagement and hoped to host a wedding on the Cape a month later in July. Despite the short-time frame, White's catering was able to offer a full menu of options and provided excellent service. Bob, the owner, also helped us secure other vendors, like party and tent rental, and advised us on the best set-up for our at-home reception. The event itself went off without a hitch, the food was excellent, and we were able to enjoy the party. I strongly recommend White's Catering for a wedding, rehearsal dinner or any other private event.
Bob and Andrea went above and beyond the role of caterer for our backyard wedding with fifty guests in Eastham. They helped us connect and coordinate with vendors for tent and furniture rentals, bar tending, etc. and thought about details we hadn’t considered. Our wedding was absolutely perfect and it wouldn’t have been possible without them. On top of all this, the food was delicious and we received so many compliments! We are so grateful we found White’s Catering.

It was a pleasure working with you and Sean and i am happy we could do our part in helping your very special day be successful!
Working with Bob was an absolutely delight! Throughout the whole planning process he displayed professionalism, expertise, and attention to detail. He really thought through the whole process and helped us achieve a meal that worked for us and our wedding. Our guests all raved about the food; would highly recommend!

Muchas gracias y wepa, Dan y Olivia!
It was great being your caterer and fun working with you.
Thanks for the amazing review!
I couldn’t have picked a better caterer for my backyard wedding in the Cape this past weekend! My guests loved all the food, especially the filet mignon. Everything was perfectly cooked and warm! Bob also did a great job with coordinating with my other vendors!

Bob and his team were so great to work with! They helped with everything from setting up a tent rental order to the timeline of the day. Bob was very easy to communicate with, helpful with any questions and knowledgeable about local vendors. The food was also amazing, everyone loved it! The whole staff went above and beyond to make things easy for us on our wedding day.

Thanks for the rave review Elizabeth!
I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Whites Catering. Bob and his team were helpful from the start. He was always responsive with questions and helped pick menus to serve our wedding of 130 people. I fully recommend and will definitely use Whites Catering in the future.
I don't even know where to begin... Bob was nothing short of amazing in helping me to plan and execute my outdoor wedding in Bourne. He helped me put together a fantastic menu of cheese/charcuterie, sliders (burgers and lobster), and passed hors d'oeurves. Everyone raved about the food and Bob took care to wrap up the leftovers which was a nice treat because we enjoyed the heck out of them late night. :) Not only did Bob take care of the food, but he helped us order all of the necessities (glassware, tables, silverware, etc. etc. etc.). I also want to give a shout out to the servers he brought with him. They were so awesome... always making sure we, the bride and groom, were taken care of. I literally did not have to worry about one single thing on my day with Bob in charge. Thank you so much Bob!
Bob was fantastic to work with when planning our rehearsal dinner and welcome party at my husband's family's house. He was kind, patient, and really paid close attention to all of the details. He even met us several times before the event to make sure everything would turn out just the way we envisioned. Everyone was wow'd by how amazing the food was - from the steak tips and salmon, to the pulled pork sliders and mac and cheese balls. Bob and his staff were absolutely lovely - complete professionals and very kind. We are so grateful that he was available to create such an amazing event, and he did everything to make it a dream come true. Thank you Bob and the rest of your team. We'll definitely be giving you a call the next time we have a party on Cape Cod.

Hi Caitlin
Thank you so much for the rave review!
It was such a special night and i am super stoked that you and your family and friends enjoyed our food and service.
It was great working with you!
Thanks again
Bob and Jenna were an invaluable piece of both the planning and the ceremony. We did a tent wedding and they helped with coordinating everything we needed, everything to keep in mind, and had lots of helpful suggestions.
Additionally, the food was amazing. My husband and I got SO many compliments on the food.
I cannot recommend White's Catering enough, our wedding would not have been a success without them.

Thanks for the amazing review!
It was great working with you and Brad.
We were both super happy to be a part of your very special day!
Good morning Bob,
I just want to thank you so very, very much for the incredible job you and your staff at White’s Catering did on Saturday. You, Bob, are to thank for making the entire Wedding absolutely perfect! Your guidance, attention to detail and timing and connections with the Weather Gods (you promised the beautiful day!) made Hilary and Eric’s wedding amazing!
All the food served by your lovey staff was delicious; presentation and service exceptional. The appetizers received many compliments, our guests raved about the clam fritters, our daughter Alexa said she could have made them her meal! Spring rolls were my personal favorite and bruschetta and Mac and cheese balls perfect. The buffet dinner was prepared and served beautifully, everything on point. Thank you for the heads up on the Cod, our GF friends were well cared for. Preparing and serving a meal to a group that size is a huge task and you made it look effortless. Everything was outstanding!
Thank you again for all the time and effort you put in to making our daughter’s wedding a beautiful day and an even more beautiful memory. We are lucky that you were available for September 18, 2021 when we called you last summer and will gladly pass your name on to anyone needing a catered event!
Many, many thanks, Linda

Bob and Jenna did a fantastic job organizing and catering our daughter's wedding. Acting as de facto wedding planners, they helped us to order the tent, linens, silverware, dishes, etc. for a garden wedding. They recommended that we hire a bartender, gave us advice on photographers and DJs, and worked out a timeline for the ceremony and reception. They came by a few times in the days leading up to the event to ensure everything was being installed smoothly. On the day of the event, Jenna kept everything running on time according to the schedule.
And, the food was very good.
I would highly recommend White's Catering and will hire Bob and Jenna again if another big occasion arises which requires expert catering and party management services.
Response from the Vendor on 09/22/2021
Thank you for the wonderful review!
It was great working with you!!
Jenna, myself and my chef are all glad we could contribute to the success of your daughters wedding!
Bob was up for the challenge of creating an entirely vegetarian wedding, which we appreciated. The food, from the table apps to passed appetizers to the entrees were all amazing and tasty.
Bob was also flexible when the hiccups occurred when people started to drop out due to COVID-19.
Although things were a bit hectic getting ready right before the wedding, everything went as planned once it began. I highly recommend using his services!

The absolute best!!! Bob was amazing to work with, he helped us create the perfect menu for our wedding that included the most delicious passed appetizers and awesome raw bar! Bob is thorough and meticulous, went over all our timelines and coordinated with the tent rental company to ensure everything was perfect for the day. All the food was just amazing, our friends and family loved it all! I can’t thank Bob and his team enough, everything was just perfection and ran seamlessly. I wish we could do it all over again! Thank you!!

If you are looking to cater an event, I highly recommend White's Catering. Bob of White's Catering has the perfect combination of being personable and laid back and getting things done with great professionalism. A week before the wedding he sat with us and reviewed every detail for the wedding which put our minds at ease tremendously; with his vast experience, no detail is overlooked and he knows the best way to accomplish excellent results. He stopped in a couple of times before the event such as when the tent was set up, when supplies arrived from the vendor, and the day of. On the day of, his excellent staff got everything set up and made it look easy; they are exceptionally efficient and very willing to extend their duties to help make the event wonderful. The food was extraordinary and presented beautifully (I strongly recommend the charcuterie board). Every dish we ordered was the best it could possibly be and we were very impressed with both the quality of it and its presentation, and the service was excellent. White's Catering offers experienced planning skills, delicious and generous food, professional service, and staff who were were personable and fun the entire time, exactly what one desires during an event. As the Mother of the Bride hosting the event in the backyard, handling the details of the wedding was almost overwhelming, but Bob and White's were able to help plan and execute each detail, even those outside of food delivery and service. They helped us have a perfect night!
Bob and his team did an amazing job catering our wedding. The food was delicious and never ran out, the service was top notch, and we were thrilled on all fronts. I would highly recommend White Catering for any function!
White's Catering was phenomenal! Not only was the food outstanding (literally the only fault was that my dress was a little too tight after such a delicious dinner!), but Bob was incredibly helpful. From walking us through the menu and options to helping us with a timeline, not to mention being very flexible with our multiple reschedulings due to Covid, Bob was with us every step of the way by offering his 22+ years of wedding industry experience. He also helped us with coordinating with the tent rental company, which could have been a major headache without him.
In short: do yourself a favor and hire White's Catering. The food is ridiculously good and the service is outstanding. I literally could not imagine a better caterer for our perfect day.
Bob and his team made us feel comfortable from the moment we had our first call. He catered our wedding rehearsal dinner on a boat - no easy feat! He worked closely with the boat staff to ensure he could make it all happen. The guests raved about the food - from the lobster rolls, to the pulled pork sliders, to the crudité cups, to the world's most fudgy brownies for dessert. His servers were extremely professional and adjusted to our unique timeline as we needed to interrupt their serving for several speeches. We were in great hands with White's Catering and would recommend them to everyone in the Cape Cod area.
While I didn't use White's Catering for a wedding, I have worked with them repeatedly for private parties. Most recently, Bob and his fantastic team catered my Fourth of July 4th party. Bob was a pleasure to work with - he asked all the right questions to figure out the vibe I was looking for and created and served up a delicious menu. The appetizers in particular were outstanding (people are still talking about the duck tacos, Gorgonzola and fig mini grilled cheeses and lobster rolls) and the servers kept all 70 guests smiling and well fed. I highly recommend White's Catering - you won't be disappointed!

Working for you on the cruise boat wasn't even work :)
That was such a fun wedding!
Whites Catering was absolutely phenomenal for our wedding! The food was to die for, the service was exquisite, and the timing was impeccable. Bob is so much more than a caterer. He helped us plan out our whole day and recommended great vendors for our other needs. Thank you so much Bob, and White’s for making our special day that much better!

I wish you and Nick a long happy life together.
Oh, my gosh, what a sheer PLEASURE to work with Bob and his team! The food was incredible, from the passed appetizers to the salads and wow, the entrees! People were raving about how great the food was. We're admitted foodies, and we honestly didn't know wedding food could be so delicious. Not only that, Bob was wonderful, keeping things on schedule so we could just enjoy our daughter's wedding, and treating us like old friends. Highly, highly recommend!

Thank you Nora for the kind words.
It was a bit of a roller coaster but we did it!
Have a wonderful holiday!
Hiring Bob at White's Catering is like hiring a wedding planner, caterer and personal negotiator into one. His years of experience was extremely valuable in knowing how to schedule the day and also what to use with our tent vendor to ensure the best value and correct order. The food was also exceptional, we had the steak tips and pistachio haddock which got high remarks from our guests. We worked with Althea on our wedding day who was also extremely professional and helped ensure everything went smoothly. Also, as we wanted to be as safe as possible given Massachusetts guidelines for COVID he ensured his staff was set up to make sure our guests felt at ease and accomodated. Highly recommend and would use him again we had an excuse!

Hey John
I am really stoked you enjoyed our food and service and i want to thank you for leaving us this fantastic review.
Perhaps we will work together again sometime.
Bob
I could not have asked for a better wedding caterer in Bob Oldsman. At the very early stages of planning I was deciding between doing a venue vs. having the wedding in our back yard. I found Bob online after reading so many amazing reviews and we had a long conversation where he helped walked me through all the pros and cons of both. I knew at that point I had found our caterer. He was so honest and helpful at the very start. Then 2020 came and Covid-19. In a year where everything was up in the air and uncertain, Bob was the only constant. He was so helpful to work with, understanding, and flexible. We went through with our wedding but downsized significantly and Bob helped to make the day more perfect than I could have ever imagined. He’s part of the planning process from start to finish and even attended the tent installation to make sure everything was in the right place. Bob is so much more than just a caterer and really goes above and beyond. The food he serves is amazing and so many guests commented on how great everything was. I would gladly hire Bob and White’s Catering for any future events!

Hi Margaret
Thank you so so much for the amazing review!

If you're looking for a caterer at the Cape, then Bob is your guy! As two self-proclaimed foodies, my husband and I had our doubts about how great "wedding food" could actually be. Bob proved us wrong- his cuisine was exceptional. In addition, Bob went above and beyond for us. He is more than a caterer. He thought through the details of our event from beginning to end and ensured everything went perfectly. He takes his business seriously and delivered to us more than we could have imagined. Our day would not have been the same without him.

Thank you so much for the fantastic review, Brittany!
You were a pleasure to work with and i am glad i could help!!
In a year that would have felt impossible to plan a wedding, Bobby O made it possible. He was extremely responsive to every email and every phone call, and was a great resource for ideas and making it all come together. From the kickoff of cocktail hour to when the plates were licked clean at the end of the night, every single guest was raving about the food (best cut of filet I've had)! Whites Catering is amazing, and Bobby O is a gem. We are extremely grateful for such a wonderful event!

Hey Carly & Mike...
Thanks for the amazing review!
Even though it was a bit of a challenge, perseverance paid off and your special day turned out to be spectacular.
I was glad to be a part of it!
Bob is very informed and on task. The food was superb! The ribs were so tender that the meat fell off the bones.
I'm so thrilled with the service, professionalism and quality of food I received from White’s Catering for my wedding.
My wife and I had a morning wedding on the beach and fed our guests breakfast food - eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, french toast, muffins, and fresh fruit. The food was absolutely FANTASTIC. Guests were raving over the potatoes specifically (I happen to agree) and I had one guest who was absolutely nuts about the french toast. Everything was fresh and delicious and my guests were definitely satisfied.
Bob had worked with me pretty extensively leading up to the wedding and I appreciate how much attention he gave me even though my wedding was definitely on the smaller and less expensive side than what he usually deals with. Also, COVID proved to be a challenging hurdle and he worked with us to make everything safe and smooth. He was a joy when I met him in person, as were his servers. I had a few guests tell me how nice the catering staff was.
All in all, I'm incredibly pleased with White's Catering and I absolutely recommend them 100%.
We used White's for a small anniversary dinner (since big parties seem out of the question this year!) Bob was super easy to work with to straighten out all the logistics, and offered great suggestions for a menu that would make everyone happy. He also was able to make some adjustments to serving options (stations vs. passed appetizers) in light of the current environment - so everyone felt safe. The food itself was AWESOME! Everyone commented on how tasty everything was - from the appetizers, to the entree, to the desserts. The service itself was also perfect - made a dinner at home with family seem a lot more elegant and special than I thought possible. We would absolutely use White's again - hopefully next time for a bigger celebration!

Hi Lis
Thank you for the kudos and the kind words...
It was nice working with you and your family.
Let us know when you're ready to have the "big" one!
Bob
It was a pleasure to work with Bob for our daughter's 2.0 family wedding (first wedding cancelled due to Covid) at our home in Orleans. Bob was exceptionally good at working with us to execute the menu of our choice and communicating our wishes with his wonderful Chef, Kevin. The food and presentation were beautiful. Bob coordinated with the tent company, Undercover Tent, who supplied linens, china and a stunning tent, large enough for the small number of the family present, to sit socially distanced.
Bob communicated each step along the way, worked with us on timing on the day of the wedding so each course would appear at precisely the right time.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review Wendy...
It was a pleasure working with you, Meghan and even Grumpy!
In a time when everything is changing and last-minute wedding plans need to be made, Bob and his staff were tremendous! Having the wedding at our house, and having to coordinate vendors and timelines, and still be the mother of the bride was overwhelming. From the first meeting, Bob put us at ease. He coordinated with the tent rental company for all that we would need to accomplish our elegant backyard wedding. He helped us create a timeline and worked with all the other vendors on site (DJ, Bartender, Bakery, Photographers, and Ben & Jerrys) to keep everyone on track and everything running smoothly. He was constantly checking in to see if I and/or the bridal party needed anything and met the needs of our guests wherever they were. His staff was professional, sweet, and enjoyable to be around. AND THE FOOD!! Oh, my goodness. It was so delicious!! Exceptional quality and taste, from the yummy passed appetizers to the wide variety of choices we made for the meal. We were able to be present at our daughter’s wedding without a care with Bob and his staff in charge. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

Hi Lori
Thank you so much for the rave review.
It really was a pleasure working with you and Don...and, of course, Carly!
Sincerely
Bob
Bob and his staff were amazing from start to finish! We postponed our big wedding a year but decided to do a small ceremony in my parent’s backyard 4th of July weekend. Bob came and met me the week before to get a plan together, worked with the tent company for us to make sure we had everything we would need, showed up during tent installation to check on everything, and were so great with me and all our guests on the actual day. That’s not to mention the amazing food! Bob made sure I got the try all the apps while I was running around and everyone raves about all the food that was served! They helped make our day perfect!
Bob and his staff were amazing and the food was delicious! We were hoping to do a family style meal and they made it so easy! The appetizers were unreal!
Bob and his team at White’s Catering are a pleasure to work with. We just had Bob cater our daughter's small wedding dinner at our home after a casual beach ceremony. The food was local, generous and delicious! The perfect intimate dinner. Just what we all wanted. Last summer we used them for a cocktail reception. The passed apps were cleverly presented and so tasty! Our guests have all commented about how friendly the service team is. We will definitely use White’s Catering again.
We heard of White's Catering from my sister whom used them for her wedding just a few years ago. She had an amazing experience with them and highly recommended them. Bob and his team have also catered to numerous events for my husbands family and they rave about him as well. So choosing White's catering was really an easy choice. Leading up to the event Bob was great at keeping us informed, working with us, answering questions and making sure we got what we wanted. Day of he was well staffed, prepared and ready for the day. We got so many compliments from our guests on how awesome the food was, and it was. We couldn't have been happier. We look forward to working with Bob in any future events!
I worked with Bob to plan my daughter's bridal lunch in June 2019. It was a wonderful event, and many guests remarked about the delicious food. The servers were excellent and extremely helpful. Would recommend White's Catering to anyone considering an event on Cape Cod!
Bobby and his team did a phenomenal job with the catering for our wedding of 200+ people! From start to finish, he listened, gave helpful suggestions and provided valuable information (not to mention the delicious food!) He knows his stuff and is super helpful when it comes to making sure that everything is taken care of and in order (this is great if you have a venue where vendors are being brought in). We would absolutely recommend him to anyone getting married on the Cape! When we went home for Christmas months after our wedding, we were still receiving compliments on the food!
Bob and his staff were true professionals, from the first phone inquiry, until the last plate was cleared. They take extreme pride in their planning and food. As we were doing a "DIY" wedding, Bob's assistance was precise and invaluable. Both the bride and groom are/were employed in Michelin star restaurants in NYC and were thrilled with Bobby's food, as were all the guests. Highly recommend White's Catering
Bob is an absolute professional with years of experience so trusting him to help us plan the dining for our wedding was easy! When you are choosing who will help you make sure the day is amazing, Bob is a solid choice! The food was fantastic, with compliments all day from our family and friends! Bob makes sure everything runs smoothly, tastes amazing, and the day is yours to enjoy! We cannot say enough wonderful things about White's Catering!
As mother of the bride I was a bit nervous about what vendors we used as this was an at home wedding and everyone expects good food. Bob Oldsman did not disappoint. From the first phone call to the last he was courteous, friendly, calming and professional. Even though Bob doesn’t do tastings, we got the sense that his food would not disappoint and it did not. Everyone raves about how tasty and hot everything was. We had several guests with special dietary needs and he hit every one on the mark. The quinoa stuffed peppers were a huge hit! The apps were delicious!! Our facilitator Althea was fantastic as were all the other waiters. I couldn’t have asked for a better caterer and I strongly recommend whites Catering.
Bob's team was professional attentive and absolutely amazing. We had a backyard wedding. The next day the guest raved about the hors d'oeuvres and the entrees being served. Bob was great to work with. He helped us plan our perfect day. We would highly recommend White's catering for any special event.
We absolutely loved working with Bob. His service and dedication to making our day perfect was unmatched. All of the guests raved about the grilled swordfish and pies (both hard to master given they were serving out of a small catering tent in the middle of a farm on a rainy day!). Bob also made sure to help us through every step. He was there for the tent load in when we couldn't be. He was our event partner through and through with everything and he kept us on our toes - ensuring we were thinking of every single detail down to bug spray! He killed it in every way with flying colors. I would recommend him to anyone planning a wedding on the Cape. Thank you so much Bob!
Looking for an absolutely fabulous Cape Cod caterer for your wedding? Look no further than White's Catering! From the initial contact to the end of the reception, Bob and his staff were amazing. The food was terrific, the menu varied, and all delicious. He provided options for our very diverse guests - vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and even something for those who love meat and seafood! We are not local,
so Bob's helpful recommendations for other vendors was greatly appreciated. His suggestions were spot on. And, besides being a fantastic caterer, Bob was simply a pleasure to work with. He was friendly and laid back - exactly what we were looking for. I can't recommend him highly enough. You will love White's Catering!
Bob is fabulous! From day one, he was wonderful to work with and help me select the perfect menu for our wedding. He pays such close attention to detail and makes sure the wedding runs smoothly. His food was beyond delicious; our guests were raving about everything! He made our wedding better than I ever could have dreamed and I would recommend him to anyone and everyone getting married in Cape Cod. Thank you White's Catering for a magical wedding!
Bob and his team catered our "night before the wedding" dinner in Chatham, MA. Bob and I talked multiple times throughout the past several months to discuss the menu and what our vision was for the event. Bob came to our venue the day before the event and did a walk through so we could organize the food placement etc so everything went smooth the day of the event. He also wanted to see that the venue was equipped with items he needed in any case he needed to bring any additional supplies. The food was amazing and our guests are still talking about it. His staff was so friendly to us as they passed appetizers and it was almost as if they were guests at our event because they were so friendly and fun! I would recommend White's Catering to everyone.
Bobby and his team really hit it out of the park for our wedding! Throughout the planning process he worked within our budget, took all our ideas to heart, and we ended up with an amazing spread that everyone was pleased with. Bobby was clear with his team's needs and abilities, and made sure our rental item list had everything they needed and gave advice on our location & timing - it was also helpful he had worked at our venue before and with our bartenders. The entire team was professional and organized and made sure we were totally taken care of. Would highly recommend them!
Bob and his team were absolutely the best choice we could have made for our tented beach wedding. We had family and friends from on and off Cape, ALL of who raved about the food. Bob was able to match exactly what we were searching for and do so without any complaints on our part! Not to mention the servers were amazing! Everyone had delicious, hot, varied food and they made sure I had enough to eat at well (always important)!! I am so incredibly pleased with our choice to use White's Catering and would do so again in a heart beat without even looking at anyone else. If you need an event catered, White's is the only call you should make!!
After reading Bob's response to one of his reviews, I felt compelled to write of my experience as mother of the groom. I was not involved with the choice of caterer or menu, but was asked to be present at the final consultation as I have extensive catering experience. Bob was was glib and presented as a caring professional, but ignored most if the brides requests. The day of the event he was ill equipped and was missing certain items that most experienced caterers would never have to think twice about. The food was adequarely prepared, but service was rushed, and the clean-up, perfunctory at best. Some of our guests reported feeling insulted by some of the comments made by Bob during the service. Overall, he gave the impression he didn't appreciate our business. I can not recommend this caterer.
I hired Bob for my wedding September 30, 2017. I had communicated with many caterers before speaking with Bob, I knew right off the bat he was the one for our wedding. He is personable, has a fair rate, and will act as a coordinator the day of the wedding to make sure everything goes smoothly. I have to say it was a true pleasure working with Bob, the food was outstanding and people are still talking about it. Thank you Bob! We will be using your services again should I need a caterer!
We hired Bob to cater the rehearsal dinner (9/9/2017) for our son's wedding. It was pleasure to deal with him. He was very professional and his food was delicious. He made sure everything ran on time which was important because we had a welcome party after the dinner. I highly recommend him.
White's Catering did an amazing job catering our wedding. Bob was very detailed oriented and managed the catering from start to finish .The wait staff to great care of us and our guests . The food was delicious food and we received exceptional service. We highly recommend White's Catering .
We heartily endorse White’s Catering following a spectacular outdoor wedding. Our daughter announced her decision to be married in the garden of our 1780 Wellfleet cottage in March, and we were fortunate indeed that Bob Oldsman, and his team, were available for her September celebration. Bob met with us to conduct a site evaluation and go over menu options early in the process, and then again to finalize the logistics and timing for our meal. Scrupulous planning and attention to detail started in March, and carried through a fabulous meal of beef tips in pinot noir and macadamia encrusted haddock, concluding with meticulous clean up by the team. Throughout Bob worked closely with Undercover Tent, who achieved the same standard of excellence in communication, preparation, and execution of our event. We are confident that anyone turning to White’s Catering for an important affair will emerge both delighted and well fed from the experience.
White's Catering did an amazing job catering my wedding. Bobby went above and beyond to make sure things went off perfectly! I definitely recommend the delicious food and exceptional service. White's Catering goes above and beyond.
Organization and Great Food!
We hired Bob for my daughter's wedding held at our home in Brewster. We had 140 guests and 8 children attend.
The menu choices were varied and reasonable.
Bob assisted with the planning. As part of his process he also meets with you the week before to review everything and his organization helped us be organized. He went above and beyond by being on site for tent installation and furniture placement. He was at the site again the day before the wedding to make sure everything was set.
We ended up with a buffet with fish, tenderloin, and pasta. We also had passed hor's d'oeuvres and a plated salad. He also met any dietary requests and accommodated our vegan, vegetarian and gluten free guests.
The ceremony itself ran late due to bus issues and Bob was in constant communication regarding timing to make sure the food, especially the tenderloin, was not overcooked.
The food was delicious and I have received many compliments.
Bob was helpful with references, professionally accepted our decision to use other vendors and was a pleasure to work with.
I may be hiring him again next year for our other daughter's wedding and to me there is no better endorsement.
Bob is the best! We used White's catering for my stepson's wedding on July 15, 2017. From start to finish, Bob was attentive extremely detail oriented and helpful no matter what the issue or budget considerations. I love that he took the lead in coordinating several other vendors to make sure the evening went perfectly, which it did! Food was great, staff was lovely and helpful, and several people remarked it was the best wedding they had ever been to. Having hosted the reception at our home, it was crucial that we felt like everything would be perfect when we arrived after the ceremony. It was in spades! White's delivered. Thanks!
We hired Bob for a backyard wedding this past July and overall the experience was sub-par what should be expected from a vendor whose services were being paid for! When I initiated contact with Bob I was given a quote for a 90 person buffet versus a 90 person plated dinner (which he said was something they offered). Later on that month after reviewing and comparing other vendor prices, we decided to go with his services and my MIL called him and was given a completely different quote- not in our favor. I decided to call him back and ask about the discrepancy of pricing from the last time that we had spoke. When I brought up my notes and read back the food list for the event and broke down the prices that I was given from him originally I was told that I was correct and that it was noted differently in his notebook from someone elses wedding. I thought okay, mistakes happen! Back on schedule.
I told Bob that we decided to go with a plated dinner for our wedding of 90 people. He said it was doable- but that it would be a lot more work for him and his staff (who are paid to do this) and pushily suggested that a buffet was something I should strongly consider (was he not confident in their ability or the work the event entailed?). Needless to say, we took Bob's word for it and went with the buffet. When I asked when we could do a food tasting I was told that that they do not offer food tasting and do not supply any of the plates/silverware and that I would just have to "trust him". Nervously I agreed. The food ended up being okay, nothing outside of ordinary but nothing to complain about either- so I suppose that for the value of the food it was worth it since he has very competitive pricing.
Insert minor kinks along the way up until the wedding here since I do not have enough space to thoroughly explain our experience!
Anyway, the wedding ended up going smoothly and everything was beautiful and worked out great! The service was attentive! At the end of the evening after the night was winding down and the service was about to leave I proceeded to thank Bob for how the night went smoothly and how much I appreciated the service for our wedding. He proceeded to say "well you weren't the easiest bride to deal with..."...I replied (IN MY WEDDING DRESS ON MY WEDDING NIGHT) "...Excuse me?!? All I was ever difficult about this entire process was trying to get services that you offer made available for the wedding...Totally offended. How unprofessional. Then he proceeded to ask if he could use me as a reference!!! Baffled. I got over it quickly and enjoyed the rest of the night of course!
Flash forward one week. My husband and I get a phone call from the FIL and MIL angrily stating that the trash had not been separated or removed from the premises and that there were maggots that they were picking through as a result. I apologized for Bob's services which included trash removal and told them that he should definitely be contacted about it. I was then blamed for having chosen such a caterer for the event and have been on the rocks with them ever since.
Would only recommend his services if you are on a tight budget and are willing to be very flexible with the way that you envision your wedding/event.

The review currently directly above this one was written by the host and mother-in-law of the bride who wrote this negative review. Her review represents the truthful interpretation of her sons wonderful wedding reception.
I pride myself in my ...
professionalism, attention to detail and amazing food.
I was astonished to read this review and hope potential brides and clients will read all my legitimate, honest and positive reviews on theknot and not this solitary untrue and erroneous one.
