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.

We were honored to participate in Applecroft's first Kitchen Garden Dinner. It was a celebration of all things local including veggies from the gorgeous garden we dined in. It was a spectacular evening with amazing food and drink and lively conversation at the family style table. Shane and Maria are amazing hosts. They and the team created an amazing evening.

We were driving by when I saw a sign that said focaccia Thursdays at 2. It was just after 2 and my husband said, when you see a sign that says focaccia, you have to stop! So we turned around and I'm so glad we did. The cheese and onion focaccia was still warm and delicious. They have prepared foods to take with you, the carrot za'atar dip was wonderful. There were so many baked goods I wanted to try, but I restrained myself. If you see the focaccia sign, you have to stop!

We booked Applecroft for our August 2025 wedding, and it was the absolute best decision. Shane and Maria are so kind and passionate about what they do. The tasting in the spring was incredible and got us SO excited. The wedding was seamless, and we still can’t believe how perfect the food was. The cocktail hour food was unique, delicious, beautiful and plentiful! The dinner was perfect and served quickly and right on time. Our guests are still raving about the food almost 6 months later! So many people have told us it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had. The food made it such a truly special day. Book Applecroft for your wedding, and get the grilled oysters!!

Shane, Maria and the whole Applecroft team work absolute magic! They created an amazing and unique culinary experience that was unlike any other wedding food we’ve ever had. Our guests are still talking about how delicious the food was - it was absolutely one of the highlights of our wedding! They easily handled all guest allergens and restrictions (we had a lot) and made sure everyone was well taken care of. They also made sure to bring out a huge platter of appetizers for us (the bride and groom) at the beginning of cocktail hour so we didn't miss out on anything while we were taking photos. Shane was great to work with during the planning process, and answered tons of questions. We cannot...

We hired Applecroft to cater our October 2025 wedding. We manage our own farm in Maine, and we wanted to utilize our own ingredients for the menu. Many other caterers we spoke to either refused to do something like that, or sounded annoyed at the request. Conversely, Shane and Maria were enthusiastic the idea. These guys were nothing short of professional. Trying to organize your own wedding is stressful and complicated. I can honestly say the catering was handled so well, we didn't have to give it any thought, so we were able to put our energy elsewhere. They showed up early, and had everything ready exactly on time. Their employees were all really nice too. On top of that, the food was ex...
