Wonderful Wedding Rehearsal/Welcome Dinner Experience

Stephanie, Josiah and the entire team from Upohar supported our son and his fiance's wedding rehearsal / welcome dinner so well, assisting with menu selection and all details including a pre-event visit at the wedding/rehearsal venue. The food was so delicious and appreciated by guests. Service and cleanup was excellent as well. We can highly recommend Upohar as an excellent caterer for any event!

Amazing caterer

Excellent communication throughout tastings, pre-wedding meetings, and the wedding itself. Upohar went to the venue beforehand to make sure they were prepared to bring their food truck. The food was absolutely delicious and we got so many compliments from guests. Josiah was professional and helpful throughout the entire process, and kept the night running very smoothly.

Amazing services and good!

We hired Upohar for my wedding count of about 60 people, and let me just say “Amazing”! The catering team not only set everything up beautifully because we chose the drop off catering package they also were so kind enough to reach out to my wedding coordinator to let her know in advance what food would need to be replenished. The team was also very helpful and resourceful in helping us find a bartender for our wedding and a trash haul company because our venue did not supply it.

Let’s not forget about the food !
We are a Hispanic couple so we picked the Pernil(pork), chicken, yellow rice, white rice, black beans, pinto beans, salad, sweet plantains and the chicken & beaf & cheese empanadas.
My husband and I didn’t have time to do the food tasting since we live out of state, so we read the reviews and took people’s words for it and let me say the reviews did not lie!! The food was soooo good! Our guest would not stop raving about it and asking if the food was homemade and brought to the venue! I never thought catering food could be so tasty !
