    Great Party, Amazing Food

    We don't even know where to start because the entire Bread & Butter team was THAT good! They really do know how to throw a party and we can't recommend them enough. The entire menu was absolutely incredible and all of our guests were raving about how delicious the food was. From the day that we hired them they were amazing to work with, incredibly communicative and professional. Renee was our day of coordinator and we are so grateful for her! She helped give us the wedding of our dreams by flawlessly executing our vision, and she was such a calming presence throughout the final weeks and days. They were worth every penny and we would hire them again in a heartbeat.

    So, so tastey!

    The team at Bread & Butter is absolutely amazing! With the COVID pandemic, I had to completely re-plan my whole wedding. Bread & Butter were very accommodating and more than willing to make the necessary changes. They were so flexible to work with from our rental needs to our menu. The food was incredible and every bite was picture worthy. I had high expectations and they blew me away!. Even almost a month later, all our guests are still saying how we had the best food they have ever had a wedding. I can't wait to use Bread & Butter again in the future! Thank you guys so much for making our day extra perfect!

    Great Experience

    Loved everything about this company. From our first emails to the tasting, they were so excited about our special day (even though they have so many people's special day, when emailing with them they made it seem like ours was the top on the list, so thank you!). Food was excellent, as was presentation-we got a lot of compliments from our friends and family. It was so nice having a different menu for a wedding reception-we had tacos, sliders, a salad bar with tons of fixings for it-made it very unique, and our guests did not go home hungry! Different flavored popcorn at the end of the night, I just wish I had some of it! We also had...

    Best. Decision. Ever

    Both being the huge foodies that we are, my husband and I were so unbelievably grateful and honored to have the opportunity of working with the rightfully high-praised Bread & Butter Catering Company for our wedding.

       We researched all recommendations we received, both word of mouth and well published, and when we came across Bread & Butter’s culinary artistry, vast selection, originality, and the attention to detail, we could tell we had stumbled upon the ULTIMATE choice for a caterer, and sure enough they absolutely amazed everyone in attendance, and in every way possible.

       We honestly can’t say enough great things about how phenomenal the food was, and to this day we have friends and family...

    Exceptional in every way!

    I can't say enough about how wonderful Bread & Butter Catering is to work with! I am the mother of the bride and collaborated closely with the B&B team throughout the planning process. They were such a pleasure to work with every step of the way. Our event coordinator Renee brought it all home and orchestrated the reception my daughter and her husband - and her father and I - dreamed of. The food was SPECTACULAR ... creative, delicious and impeccably served. The antipasto and seasonal vegetable boards during cocktail hour were built with amazing care and consideration for every flavor profile (the figs were a particular favorite!). One guest told us they thought it was almost too beautiful...

    “This is the best wedding food I’ve ever had!"

    “This is the best wedding food I’ve ever had!” - MANY seasoned wedding guests.

    We are over the moon to have had the pleasure to work with Bread + Butter for our Portland, Maine wedding. Reviews from our guests (and ourselves) were unbelievable - “the best wedding food I’ve ever had” was the unanimous response. The Bread + Butter team were extremely easy and fun to work with, from the amazing tasting, to the communication before the wedding, to the wedding itself. The food was out of this world and there was nothing that they brought out that wasn’t delicious. They brought our vision of a wedding that felt more like a giant dinner party of all our...

    Best Wedding Caterer!

    If you are looking for amazing event food, look no further! Every guest at our wedding was raving about the food at our wedding and we couldn't agree more! We were looking for a top notch caterer that would deliver the best meal and they did it! They catered our rehearsal dinner and wedding and we couldn't be happier with the quality, service and planning done with Bread and Butter! Emma was so great to work with leading up the event and answered all of my questions with such kindness and patience. We had stations for our rehearsal and it was such a fun option I'm glad we were able to use! Our family style roasted dinner was so...

    B+B food is absolutely delicious!! Very flexible as I redid our menu several times. We had stations during the reception which all the guests seemed to enjoy so they could try a bit of everything. Phenomenal job!

    I want to eat it all again.

    You guys, just book Bread & Butter now. I cannot tell you how amazing it was to work with them and how DELICIOUS their food is. All of our guest could not (and still haven't) stopped raving about how amazing all the food stations were and how much fun it was to pick what they wanted to eat. I'm already trying to find another excuse to throw a party so I can eat so much more of their delicious food. The team who was at the wedding was also so friendly and helpful, it just made our day so special.

    Hire them! They are amazing!

    A week later and everybody is still raving about the food at our wedding. Every passed app at cocktail hour, the cheese board, and all the entrees were ready on time, tasted amazing and were beautiful to look at. The staff was friendly and accommodating all night, and we're really grateful that B&B also had a bartender service they could provide us for our BYOB venue as well! Overall, hiring B&B was one of the best choices we made in planning our wedding.

    A professional, quality, culinary experience!

    The name Bread + Butter does not adequately capture the presentation, quality, craft, and service that the fine people of Bread + Butter Catering provide. We started our wedding caterer search almost two years ago with a clear idea of what we wanted, and an unclear vision of how best to execute. Emma was the first person to not only listen to our concepts, but the first to internalize and improve upon them. She was responsive, professional, and always gave us options or reasonable suggestions as to why we would offer one dish over another or serve in a particular way. She helped us build a wedding menu that completely fulfilled our vision and provided our guests with all...

    Bread and Butter Catering Experience

    Bread and Butter catered our private island wedding, and they did a truly phenomenal job. They were flexible and able to accommodate our desire for plated meals (instead of their typical family style meals), and the food was all delicious and beautifully presented. I also have to give them major credit for making the job of catering 160+ plated meals on an island look easy and seamless -- I'm sure that this was no easy task, but everything went incredibly smoothly, and our guests raved about the food and its presentation. I would highly recommend Bread and Butter to anyone who is planning a wedding in Maine!

    We love Bread and Butter!

    We are still getting compliments about the food at our wedding that was in August. Bread and Butter were SO helpful leading up to the wedding and definitely delivered the day of. Food was great, staff were SO great, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. Our wedding would not have been the same without them

    Thank goodness we found Kelly and the Bread & Butter crew to cater our wedding. We also arranged to have Kelly as our day of coordinator, which was the best wedding decision we made. She is AMAZING and went way above and beyond. From the beginning they accommodated our many requests, provided creative ideas, and were very responsive. Many of our guests agreed that the food was some of the best they've had, and the presentation was exactly in line with the feel of our event. B&B even sourced fresh seaweed from the beach as the bed for the raw bar. Highly recommend!!

    I think my mom said it best, a month after the wedding, when she said "my favorite thing about the caterer... was that everything was perfect." It's true – every single detail from Bread & Butter was beyond anything I could have imagined. They were a dream to work with. Kelly, Katie, and Ehren were helpful, creative, and the nicest group of people we could have ever asked for to help us with our wedding day. From the initial planning stages to the final menu decisions, the whole team was helpful in answering all of my questions quickly and thoroughly.

    The day of the wedding everything went off without a hitch. Everyone was professional (and so, so...

    Deciding to go with The Bread & Butter Catering Company was one of the best choices we made for our wedding. I cannot say enough good things about Kelly and Katie and The Bread & Butter Catering Company Team. The food was absolutely incredible - our guests unanimously said it was the best wedding food they ever had. Kelly and Katie were so professional, helpful, and just generally awesome - a true pleasure to work with and always going above and beyond. We had multiple phones calls to cover all of our bases and after every call I always felt relieved because I knew a huge part of the wedding was in the best hands. You always hear that...

    First of all, the food was delicious!
    Our daughter was married in Maine last September. From start to finish the Bread and Butter team was wonderful to work with. They understood just what atmosphere the bride and groom were looking for, something between rustic and romantic . They made very helpful suggestions about the flow and timing of the reception, and they were very responsive to all our needs. When you are organizing a wedding there are a lot of moving pieces and it's nice to have professionals you can rely on like the Bread and Butter Catering team.

    Ladies and gents. If you are planning a wedding anywhere in the vicinity of Portland, Maine, you would be crazy to work with any vendor other than Bread + Butter. Kelly, Ehren, Katie, Josh, and all of their incredible waitstaff and cooks made our wedding truly the best day ever for us and for our 250+ guests. Everyone is still commenting about how amazing the food was and how seamless and fun family-style dining was!

    The food was amazing. The service was top notch. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and awesome to work with. People could not say enough about the BBQ and bread boards they served at our Welcome Dinner at Rising Tide and could not contain their...

    Kelly and the rest of the Bread & Butter crew were marvelous to work with. We planned nearly the entire wedding from across the country, so it was truly a relief to find a vendor who not only could provide everything we wanted, but was professional and responsive right from the get-go. They helped us make sure we'd thought of everything well in advance, gave suggestions, fielded my endless questions with grace and aplomb, accommodated last-minute adjustments, and executed everything flawlessly for our rehearsal dinner.

    My only regret is that I didn't find them early enough to book them for the wedding reception as well.

    I can't say enough positive things about Bread and Butter Catering. As if the delicious food and beautiful presentations they create wasn't enough on its own, the entire team of people that make up B&B are incredible. We first hired them for our September wedding at The Portland Company after they were recommended to us by the venue as one of the catering groups that has worked in the space many times and is very familiar with it. We checked out their website and menu, reached out, and got a fast and super friendly response back. After meeting with Kelly, Katie and Josh in person, getting to do a taste testing of a bunch of their locally inspired, seasonal,...

    Bread & Butter catered our wedding at the Lions Club on Peaks Island and I can't say enough good things about them. The food and drink were amazing - our guests are still telling us how much they enjoyed the fried chicken, mac & cheese, charcuterie board and other delicious goodies. Many even told us it was the best wedding food they'd ever had. I love local craft beer and they did a wonderful job of incorporating that into the bar offering. They really worked with us to tailor everything to our taste, and even hooked us up with a Spanish Iberian jamon (my husband is from Spain). On top of that, the food was presented beautifully. They were...

    Delicious, foodie-style food- exactly what my man and I were looking for being total food lovers in Portland. Guests will literally not stop talking about our charcutière board during our cocktail hour - a feast of everything you could ever want to eat at cocktail hour, displayed on a 6ft old Maine State Prison door, which just added to the amazing charm and warehousey feel of our venue, the Portland Company. Fish tacos, sliders, salads, "stuff on sticks" for dinner- addictive truffle butter with bread and family style salads...

    From start to finish, this company delivers. They have incredible attention to detail and know how to throw a great party. I didn't worry about a thing when the day of my wedding came - they offered day-of coordination services, and it is well worth it. And while they didn't plan my wedding, they were with me every step of the way, allowing me to bounce ideas off of them and tap into their expertise. And their food! It's incredible - almost everything is made in-house, and what isn't is sourced locally when possible. Katie and Kelly were super flexible and offered to try a pasta station at our request. It was delicious. Their baker, Renee of Landry Confections,...
