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 used Creative Catering for our wedding and worked with Lori, and we’re so glad we did. The food was amazing - from the passed hors d’oeuvres to the main course. Our guests could not stop talking about how much they loved everything. Lori made the entire process so easy and low stress for us. She was organized, straightforward, and great to work with. The staff on the wedding day was fabulous too. Everything came out warm, on time, and beautifully presented. We’re so happy we chose Creative Catering. They delivered on every level.

We can't say enough about Creative Catering. We choose them to cater our daughter's wedding 6/6/26 and they were amazing The food was buffet style and everything was wonderful. All of our guests raved about the food. Everything was fresh and hot. Lori was a pleasure to work with and accommodated all our requests. We would not hesitate to highly recommend them for your next event.

I didn't know where to start when planning my DIY wedding, but Creative Catering, Lori especially, was beyond helpful in guiding me to making sure our day was perfect. The food was spectacular...I know because my teen nieces and nephews are still talking about how good it was a week later! Everything was so delicious, and honestly the guests were raving. I cannot thank Lori and her team enough for their quality meals and hors d'oeuvres, and the staff professionalism throughout the day. It was well worth the value!

Creative Catering knows nothing but scrumptious appetizers, delectable entrees and mouthwatering desserts. Not to mention, the crew is unmatched. They got my had hot food on the table for my guests in fifteen minutes. They were friendly, helpful and effective from the tasting to the very end of the wedding day, when the staff went above and beyond to help politely usher guests out of the venue so we could make our curfew on time. Lori and her team are pros. They knew what we wanted and they executed. They even provided a private dinner for my husband and I so that we could have what we heard was impossible: actually enjoy our wedding meal and spend some quality 1:1 time together on our spec...

If you're in MA and looking for a good food caterer for your wedding or special event, these are the people you want. My wife and I just used them for our wedding and everything went perfectly! Food was delicious, prices were fair, communication was easy, and the entire staff was friendly and helpful the whole way through. Words don't do their services and quality justice.
