Planning perspective
What to consider before reaching out
A strong first conversation is about fit, not just availability. Share your date, approximate guest count, location, and the feeling you want the day to have. Ask what is included, what typically changes the final quote, and what decisions need to be made earliest.
For a catering partner, confirm how communication works, who will be present on the day, and how the team handles changes. Pricing was not included in the supplied research, so request a current, itemized proposal directly from the business.

My team and I worked with Marcus K., the event planner at Above and Beyond Catering, Inc. to plan and execute an all-day event at our Boston office last week. I was worried about finding a caterer as I am located in NYC and would have to trust a vendor I was unfamiliar with but Marcus and the ABC team eased all of my concerns. The event moved flawlessly and the food and service was impeccable. Marcus is incredibly detail oriented and listens to the needs of your company. I would recommend Above and Beyond Catering, Inc. to anyone looking to plan an event in the greater Boston area. Shout out to the team who helped me throughout the day: Rose, Oscar, Kimya, Andrew, Fabienne , Paul, Evan and J...

Catering review Above and beyond catering made my Mom’s birthday celebration an elegant, easy and special event. Bryan was our planner and managed the event. He was incredibly helpful with picking the menu and his suggestions and questions helped to think through all of the details. When I was unsure, his suggestions were perfect. I was able to coordinate and plan from across the country and he managed everything locally including selecting the right room at the facility for our event. Little details to big were all handled perfectly and the evening was low stress for me. All of the guests commented on the food and the caterers with high complements. I would use them again and would highly r...

The Wedding Welcome Party (dessert buffet and wine bar) that Above and Beyond catered for us was fantastic!! Everything was literally perfect and exceeded expectations!! The two bartenders/servers provided fabulous service and the desserts and cheeses were delicious!! The caramel turtle tarts and the chocolate chip cookies were the biggest hits and got the most rave reviews, but literally everything was delicious and the presentation was flawless!! Thank you for creating such a great event for us!!

Bryan and his team catered our wedding, and they knocked it out of the park! We wanted a Southeast Asian-inspired menu but had a wide range of dietary restrictions which had to be accommodated. Bryan's attention to detail, creativity, and thoughtfulness blew us away. Everything was absolutely delicious, the entire team were so helpful and courteous, and they even did a stellar job operating out of our garage and cleaning up. We could not be happier with the entire experience, and we're trying to come up with excuses to hire them for future parties!
