The absolute BEST. 10/10 book them now!!!

When we first started planning our wedding, my (now) Husband knew he wanted 2Shea to cater since he had gone to a wedding where they were serving and he loved the food. We knew the food was going to be amazing, but what we didn't know was how important this team would be on our actual wedding day. We worked with Deanna, she quickly sent us over all of our options, answered all of our questions, and brought up a lot of things we didn't think of ourselves during the planning process. The pricing was very reasonable! We ended up going with the open bar, butler pass bites for cocktail hour along with a grazing table, three options for entree, and an awesome dessert spread. The filet mignon was perfectly cooked, cut like butter, and was delicious. The chicken marsala and gnocchi with pesto parmesan sauce were equally perfect and full of flavor. We can't say enough how perfect everything was from bar service, to cocktail hour right through to dessert. Our guests had the best things to say.

The reason we were so in love with 2Shea was because of the people. Deanna basically turned into our wedding planner and is just the absolute best person. We ended up having to cancel our original wedding and turn it into a backyard wedding all within 2 weeks. My Father was very sick and would not have made it to our original wedding day. When I told Deanna, she assured me they would be there and that my wedding day would be perfect. She assured me my menu could be the same even though we were no longer at a venue. Myself and my family were actually away on vacation when we found out we needed to do this, so Deanna and Ed actually went to my house and scoped out to see how they could set up and make my original menu work. They went above and beyond in the short time period they had. They turned my garage into their catering space, they turned my pool house into a bar, our patio into a cocktail hour area, they worked with the hills on our property, and all with smiles and reassurance that it would be perfect. It was more than perfect. Our backyard wedding turned out to be the best thing that could have happened for us. I had no idea what my wedding day would look like and I had a million things on my mind in those two weeks, but because of this team and all the hard work they put in, I didn't have to worry. My wedding would not have been as incredible as it was without them. Myself, my husband, and my family are forever grateful for their flexibility and kindness.

If you are between caterers, don't think twice. Food is one of the biggest things people remember about the wedding, and 2Shea is worth it!! Thank you Deanna, thank you Ed, and thank you to the rest of the team that was just amazing. From the bottom of our hearts.

I wish I had more pictures of the food, but here they are carrying our wedding cake down a hill to get it to us, and Deanna and I hugging when I first saw her, which I was definitely crying like a baby because I love her so much.

Book them asap!

We had the most amazing experience with 2Shea. From the beginning, they were easy to work with, plan, and execute with for our big day. Deanna was FANTASTIC and was wonderful to work with. She was always transparent, helpful, and provided years of knowledge to help us with decisions. Catherine was also great at keeping us on track and wonderful to work with too! The tastings were amazing and we highly recommend going to both options: the private and grand tasting. On our wedding day, they had plates of the passed apps waiting for us with champagne and His/Her drinks. They kept us fed and hydrated for our wedding. The food... it was phenomenal. The steaks were cooked perfectly, Fish was fantastic, Chicken and Veggie dishes were also amazing. Our friends and family keep raving about the food saying it was the best wedding OR general catering food they've ever had. And, we agree! :).
The dessert station was a hit. Everyone was gushing over the donuts, cupcakes, brownies, and cookies after our wedding.

Don't look any further, book 2 Shea and you will have a magical and delicious wedding. We're looking for other excuses to have 2 Shea cater for us in the future :).

Incredible Food & Service

2Shea was amazing to work with and our guests absolutely loved all of the food! We need to specifically recognize Deanna and Catherine for making our day stress free and everything we could have hoped for! Both women really put our minds at ease and we could not recommend them or 2Shea more for any couple!
