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.

Highly Recommend!!!!! I hired Only Catering recently for my daughter's graduation party. I was going into the party planning blind on who to hire for catering. I stumbled upon "Only Catering" and after reading their reviews decided to hire them. Don was very prompt in returning calls and answering my questions. The communication from start to finish was excellent. The day of the party he was right on time with the food. Don was super friendly, set everything up, got the sternos and everything going. The food was hot and super fresh and EVERYONE at our party raved about the it, including myself!!! Laurie even gave me a call the next day to see how everything went. We were so happy with...

I can't say enough about how amazing Only Catering is!!! We were planning a 80th birthday party for my husband and we were so pleased with the food, customer service, and how friendly Laurie & Don were to work with. Our catering order was for 25 people with chicken parmigiana, ziti, meatballs, cold cuts and salads. Only Catering provided everything we needed and we received many great compliments from our guests! Thank you for making this special birthday celebration a huge success! Carol, Pepperell, MA

I went to Riverview Cafe today and had some amazing food. I ordered the chicken parm sub and some mozzarella sticks. The staff was super friendly and happy to greet me when I walked up to the counter. The chicken parm sub is truly spectacular. I had a great experience and will definitely be coming back
