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.

For the Love of Food & Drink catered my rehearsal dinner and welcome party for my wedding this summer. Wendy was very responsive over email and phone and was helpful in planning the menu for our guests. We had a tasting a few months before to refine the menu - Wendy and Bill were flexible to our taste preferences and food allergies! The food was amazing at the event and a standout compared to other weddings I attended. Would recommend For the Love of Food & Drink to anyone hosting an event in Southern Maine!

Wendy and her team were outstanding from start to finish for our son’s wedding welcome party. The food was creative, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious! Wendy went above and beyond to personalize the menu, taking into account the bride and groom’s favorites and several food allergies. She even took it upon herself to pick up glassware and coordinate seamlessly with the event space, which made everything so much easier for us during a busy wedding weekend. Her attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine care made the event feel effortless and truly special. If you want a caterer who delivers exceptional service, incredible food, and a personal touch, Wendy is the one to ca...

We worked with Wendy, Bill, and the entire team at For the Love of Food + Drink this summer for our wedding. Wendy and Bill helped us create a delicious drink, cocktail hour, and dinner menu with many personal touches, including a Bulgarian pastry that is sentimental to our relationship. The dishes were fresh and flavorful and the drinks were strong! Wendy also went above and beyond in helping us secure additional vendors beyond catering services. They were both so lovely, kind, and thoughtful to work with. We have recommended them to many couples and have since learned that two sets of friends have also booked them for their weddings!

Wow! The food was amazing! Beet salad was delicious, especially with the Apple Cider dressing, and the Thai noodle salad was scrumptious as well. The charcuterie boards had lots of variety with very tasty cheeses. Portions were large. Would definitely order from here again. Oh, and don't forget to add the cookies. Yum! A big hit with my entire group.
