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 hosted a catered college graduation gathering at a private home through Sugarsnap and our experience was top notch! Sam, our event coordinator, was responsive, flexible, and professional. The catering team arrived on time and set up and cleaned the entire event! We opted for a 3 choice taco bar with the suggested sides as well as several appetizers. In addition Sugarsnap provided all bar services and included all requested cocktails including 2 signature drinks. The food was outstanding - all guests were very complementary of the quality and freshness of the food. The staff were fun, professional, and met all of our expectations. Sugarsnap truly went above and beyond to ensure a memorable...

Sugarsnap was our caterer for our wedding last September at The Barn at Smugglers’ Notch and we have nothing but great things to say about their food and service! All of the food was delicious and our guests really enjoyed the passed appetizers, dinner entrees and desserts. Sam was excellent to work with, she answered all of our questions, made recommendations and was always timely in her responses. Overall, we had a very positive experience working with Sugarsnap catering!

There are not enough words to adequately describe how incredible Sugarsnap Catering is. My husband and I are massive foodies and knew when planning our wedding that delicious, unforgettable food was a top priority for us. When we booked our wedding at The Barn at Smugglers' Notch and found out they were the exclusive caterer, this made us nervous, because you never know what you are going to get - but with all the fantastic reviews - we decided to trust and take a leap of faith. From the beginning, they communicated every step of the way. We were particularly impressed at our tasting. While many of our other friends had booked with caterers' who had them trying dishes amongst a sea of othe...

Our September wedding was catered by Sugarsnap as the exclusive caterer at the Barn at Smugglers' Notch. The food was delicious, local, fresh, and so beautiful! Sugarsnap tailored the menu to our specific vision, and was great about accommodating dietary restrictions. Our guests continue to rave about the food! We worked closely with Kristen and Sam who helped pull everything together, and worked flawlessly with the team at the Barn. Not only was everything delicious, but food was served quickly and seamlessly to our large guest count. Sugarsnap was also incredibly helpful in our linen rentals, and helped us to coordinate a custom order to meet our vision. They clearly prioritize qualit...

We used Sugarsnap Catering for our wedding and they were incredible, from planning, food, to service they ensured our day was perfect. We felt so lucky to be able to have them there! Sam was unbelievably helpful through the whole process and always answered our questions. The food Sugarsnap produces is top notch--if you get a chance to have the beef empanadas anywhere-do it. You're missing out if you don't!
