    July 2024 Wedding

    Krisztina and the Wooden Spoon catered an absolutely delicious wedding meal! The whole planning process was fun and easy; Krisztina has such an extensive menu, and a wonderful tasting helped us make decisions. The Wooden Spoon was seamless with set up/serving on the day of the wedding, and so many guests commented on how much they loved the food and desserts! We highly recommend hiring the Wooden Spoon for your wedding day!

    Wooden Spoon- The Best!

    Can't say enough good things about Krisztina and The Wooden Spoon. Krisztina was so kind to us throughout the entire process. We just had our wedding this past weekend and the food was amazing. Everyone was commenting on it! We got to choose some really fun options, and it allowed for us to escape the standard just beef or chicken choices you often see at weddings! We loved it! Her team was so sweet, bringing the wedding party our own little appetizer trays during our photo session. Small things that really made a big difference! I would recommend them to anyone seeking great food from some really kind & great people to work with! Thank you again!

    Amazing food!

    We loved working with Krisztina from the tasting to the wedding day! She even arranged for an extra to-go tasting for us when we couldn’t decide on the menu. Everyone told us how amazing the food was at the wedding, and my husband is still talking about the short ribs (he even told me he’s going to try to recreate them at home next week). Definitely go with Wooden Spoon!

    Guests are still talking about how great the food was at our wedding

    We used The Wooden Spoon to cater our Aug 2019 wedding and the food was absolutely amazing. A month later, I'm still running into friends who rave about it. Krisztina was so great to work with - flexible, made great suggestions and responsive. And the servers were fantastic. Would hire them again in a second!

    'Best food I've ever had at a wedding'-Our Guests

    Krisztina and her team at The Wooden Spoon Catering Company were simply the best. We had a BBQ buffet that our guests still continually tell us, "That was the best food/dessert we have ever had a wedding!" It was a highlight at the wedding!! Krisztina was awesome to work with and very quick in responding to our emails. Thank you so much to Krisztina and her team for being a big part of our day!!

    Highly Recommend

    The minute we walked into our tasting we knew Krisztina was going to be our caterer. She had everything set up perfectly and was so warm and welcoming. We actually ended up changing our menu at the tasting because she let us taste her BBQ menu as well and we were sold, it was amazing. The day of Krisztina and all of her staff were great, we also utilized her services for our bartenders, and they were as well. We received so many compliments on how delicious the food was and also the sizable portions of everything. Thank you so much!

    In a word: WOW.

    No exaggeration, the wooden spoon catering company is out-of-this-world incredible. The owner and lead chef, Krisztina, was far and away my favorite wedding vendor to work with. She's flexible, kind, gratious and amazingly helpful. I often felt like a pest because I had so many questions throughout the wedding planning process, but she was genuinely happy to help guide us along.

    We went with a family-style BBQ for our wedding; Krisztina customized the menu for us and it was INCREDIBLE. We were absolutely stuffed after our tasting, which was a wonderful experience in and of itself — not only because we got to try a little bit of everything, but also because she was such a fun host! We knew our guests would love the food on th wedding day and they truly did. The Mac n cheese was a particular hit, so much so that the catering staff brought out seconds. For dessert, we had cider donuts and cheesecakes in mason jars topped with fresh fruit. My mouth is watering just remembering them.

    And to top it all off, the Wooden Spoon's prices are extremely reasonable. Which is even more impressive when you consider how amazing the food and service is! The wooden spoon catering company is the way to go.

    P.S. Get the chocolate-drizzled bacon strips for an app. You will not regret it!!

    Absolutely Phenomenal!

    Krisztina and Wooden Spoon Catering were absolutely phenomenal. Kristztina responds incredibly quickly to all emails. She was very easy to work with and truly understood our budget and meal vision. Wooden Spoon Catering had reasonable pricing, fantastic service, and most importantly outstanding food. I'm a vegetarian, but my husband is not. Originally we had decided on a vegetarian dish and a chicken dish. A month out from the wedding we changed our mind and decided to do an entirely vegetarian wedding (my husband is the best, even though he eats meat he agreed it should be vegetarian since we were both paying for the food and he didn't want me to feel guilty about supporting the meat industry). Krisztina was SO accommodating! She didn't even bat an eye, she immediately got back to us with an amazing vegetarian menu. I was really worried that our guests were going to be annoyed that there wasn't any meat, but Krisztina assured me they wouldn't care as long as the food was good. She was so right. For apps we had bruschetta, watermelon basil and blueberry goat cheese bites, pear and arugala flatbread pizza, and warm lemon artichoke dip with sea salt pita chips. Dinner was salad, eggplant parm, butternut squash and spinach lasagna with garlic cream sauce, rosemary sea salt rolls, roasted root vegetables, and mixed seasonal vegetables. Everything was absolutely delicious, but people were especially raving over the lasagna. People came up to us at the wedding to say how good it was, and a few people even texted us a few days later to say they were still thinking about the amazing lasagna. As if all this wasn't amazing enough, Krisztina also went above and beyond to serve our gluten free guests. I told her I wasn't sure what we should do as a gluten free option, because it had to be vegetarian but not boring. She made gluten free versions of the main entrees we had chosen so that no one was left out! She also made sure there were gluten free options with the appetizers. Krisztina and her team were super friendly while they were serving, and Kristzina made sure to come over and check in with my husband and I to make sure we were happy with everything. They also use local produce, so everything is so fresh and tasty! We cannot recommend Wooden Spoon Catering enough! Krisztina is SO easy to work with, completely willing to work with your budget and design the menu of your dreams.

    Wooden Spoon Made My Vision A Reality!

    It gives me great pleasure to write this review.
    I can’t imagine my wedding reception without Krisztina and Wooden Spoon Catering!
    I had a winter solstice wedding and Krisztina helped make it magical! Not only were my guests still talking about the food the next day at breakfast, they were obsessed with her ability to make a crowd of 130 people feel like they were at an intimate dinner party.
    We had a buffet with a tenderloin carving station and the meat was the most tender I’ve ever tasted! The lasagna was absolute perfection, everyone was impressed at how moist and delicious it was (we had traditional lasagna and Krisztina came up with a butternut squash and spinach lasagna with a garlic cream sauce).
    The service was also impeccable; no one had their plates taken away too quickly and when the staff noticed older family members, they made sure to bring them a plate from the buffet so they didn’t have to get up. It was a group of mature and thoughtful servers who cared about my guests.
    Krisztina went around to each table to ask how the meal was and made sure everyone was happy.
    From the beginning she was invested in co-creating my vision. Food and music were the priorities and Wooden Spoon nailed it. I almost went with a large well-known catering company, and I am so grateful I did not. Everything about the wedding felt personal and thoughtful including the food and the food service.
    If you are looking for someone to cater your wedding or event, and help you make your vision come true, you must hire Wooden Spoon Catering!

    Fantastic Food catered by an even more Fantastic Person!

    Krisztina and her team was everything I could have wanted and more out of a catering company! They were recommended to be by Detailed Engagements because of their menu selection ranging the entire spectrum of food and their amazing prices. Krisztina provided sample menus, ideas for food, and even guided us in creating an appetizer she told me the day of she planned on adding to her menu (bacon wrapped brussel sprouts)! We received numerous texts and calls from guests after the wedding raving about the food. Considering we were not able to have a tasting because of living out of state, The Wooden Spoon knocked it out of the park!

    We utilized The Wooden Spoon to cater for our wedding and we have nothing but serious praise for Krisztina and her team. Krisztina met with us and our wedding planner from Eventi Planning and was instrumental in the main course selection, appetizers, and overall food selection for the wedding. Krisztina worked with our budget to create tasty lobster rolls, clam chowder shooters, and shrimp cocktails to accompany our by the water/nautical wedding theme. The food was insanely delicious and all of our guests raved at the taste and presentation. Behind the scenes, everything was cooked to perfection, they were on time, and everything was exactly where it needed to be. Krisztina and her team were 100% professional and on point throughout the entire day. I would highly recommend The Wooden Spoon for any catering event.

    My husband and I worked with Krisztina, the owner, for our rehearsal dinner at the Hammond Castle. It was no small task to bring in a true New England lobster bake - lots of stone stairs and an open backyard on the ocean to create a kitchen out of - but this team delivered beyond our imagination! The setup, the service, the absolutely delicious food - it was all incredible! Our guests were blown away by the abundance and quality, and we were so thrilled by the entire experience. We had a few vegetarians and non-shellfish guests, and Krisztina and team found great solutions like putting certain toppings on the side and having hearty alternatives, still keeping within our budget which was important since we were serving lobsta! The best for me was having a make-your-own strawberry shortcake bar! I love this dessert and it reminds me of my late grandma...I had told Krisztina this when we were planning and as the end of the dinner portion of the evening grew close and she saw I was mingling with guests and hadn't yet had any dessert, she personally brought over a generous helping to me. It was that extra thoughtfulness that really took wonderful service and delicious food to the next level. We are SO happy we worked with Wooden Spoon and give them our highest recommendation! Thank you Krisztina and team!!

    We found Wooden Spoon through our wedding venue when Krisztina, the owner, was so graciously offering a free tasting at the same location. We were impressed with Krisztina right away. Her passion for catering exuded with each course. She was diligent, creative, and professional Upon consulting with her 1:1, we knew we wanted her to cater our wedding. We were looking for someone who would be open and enthusiastic about our unique wedding menu: taco bar and sliders station. Krisztina was just that! She met with us multiple times leading up to the wedding, offering insight, assistance, and accommodations for so many things. She and her team go above and beyond to make sure your wedding day is perfect, down to the last tiniest detail. Not only is she excellent and creative with her culinary skills, but she is personable and easy going as well. She constantly stayed in communication with me and always had an answer! I can not say enough about how happy my husband and I were with our choice to have Wooden Spoon cater our big day. Thank-you, Krisztina and Wooden Spoon for all you did to make our day so beautiful!

    We could not be happier with Krisztina and the Wooden Spoon! We did a ton of research with wedding catering, keeping budget in mind but also getting food that we would feel genuinely excited to eat (not your typical wedding-style baked chicken). When we stumbled upon Krisztina and her gourmet-style BBQ, we knew we hit the jackpot. Even though our wedding was definitely more casual vs. ballroom style, it still felt very thoughtful, well-done, and upscale with Krisztina’s dishes, gold chargers, etc. (which are included!!). One of the things I loved most (after contacting several large catering companies) was that when we contacted Wooden Spoon, it was Krisztina who we were speaking directly with. It made it feel much more personalized and we could tell how passionate she is about cooking and her company- she truly wanted to make her customers happy. She welcomed us to a tasting (which was INCREDIBLE) and really personalized our menu to exactly what we were looking for, and it was a ton of amazing food! I also loved her out-of-the-box ideas and flexibility - on the week of the wedding, we wanted to add another dessert, and she suggested a Smores’ bar by the firepit, and created a beautiful display with all different candies for it. So cool! Our guests are still talking about her amazing apps (buffalo chicken rangoons, roast beef crostini, chocolate bacon on a stick, and coconut shrimp are must haves), let alone her BBQ (sauce on the pulled pork and steak tips are mouthwatering) and sides (mac and cheese and coleslaw perfection). As you can tell, there are not enough amazing things to say about Wooden Spoon, and we would recommend Krisztina and her team in a heartbeat.

    Krisztina was absolutely amazing. She was able to accommodate all kinds of requests and had ideas of her own. She was incredibly nice and understanding throughout the whole process. And the food was truly delicious! I had multiple people come up to me throughout the night saying it was the best wedding meal they had ever had! We truly wouldn’t have been able to pull off our wedding without her.

    The Wooden Spoon Catering Company was our wedding caterer on 10/1/17 and we were over the moon happy with our choice! Working with Krisztina was so easy and FUN! She was always prompt with email replies and our calls were very productive. My husband is a "foodie" and Krisztina made sure to create a menu that "wowed" him. We had a tasting in August and it was great to go over details in person and make some minor adjustments. The attention that Krisztina showed us leading up to our wedding made the whole process great. And our guests are still talking about the meal, the bread that was truly a piece of art AND the chocolate covered bacon we served as part of dessert (yes, you read that correctly..order it and don't ask any questions--just look at the picture). Krisztina and her staff are wonderful to work with and I highly recommend you look no further than The Wooden Spoon Catering Company! You will not regret it!

    Krisztina at the Wooden Spoon has been amazing so far! My fiance and I tasted at 4 different catering companies before choosing the Wooden Spoon and were never fully impressed or satisfied. The Wooden Spoon was the first company we tasted with and loved every single thing she served. She is very flexible and easy to work with. She is helping us with our vision of a formal plated service, even though her specialty is stations or buffet. We really appreciate it and can't wait for our wedding in October!

    One of the most important things at your wedding is the food. It was important to my husband and I that the food was good and our guest were happy. The Wooden Spoon Catering company went above and beyond our expectations. Krizitina is an amazing cook. She was well organized and on top of everything. She kept us well in our budget well still offering a lot of options. We chose to go with a bbq. From the appetizer (a stationary veggie platter with guacamole ranch dipand 4 passed apps: bacon Ribbons drizzled in chocolate, buffalo chicken rangoons, stuffed murshrooms, peanut butter coconut chicken skewers. the biggest hit of all!) to the main course (bbq pulled pork, grilled lemon pepper, baked mac and cheese, loaded potato salad and brown sugar coslow, and corn breadbread muffins.) Everything was amazing, well executed, and one of the most elegantly displayed bbqs I have ever seen. My wedding guest still talk about the food 7months later!
    Beyond her amazing cooking she is a wonderful person who's full of knowledge. My husband and I weren't set on a venue when we met with Kristina she actually sugested a great venue that we ended up booking. She also sent us info for a wonderful officiant and many other services we used. She truly cares about the couples she is catering for and making sure the day goes as planed. The Wooden Spoon Catering Company made my day an absolutely wonderful event! I would highly recommend her and her wonderful team!!

    My husband and I were married on historic farm, which was absolutely amazing, but required us to bring everything from tents to amps to lighting to the venue. I am beyond lucky that I found Krisztina and her amazing team at The Wooden Spoon to take care of all of the food. Krisztina was amazing, incredibly attentive, professional, worked directly with me, my wedding planner and the venue and made sure that I had nothing to worry about.
    On top of how seamless Krisztina and her team made the planning and execution of the wedding, the food was so delicious I sometimes still dream about it. We had beef burgundy in cauldrons, butternut squash and spinach lasagna, chocolate drizzled bacon ribbons and so many appetizers it was unbelievable! Everyone raved, and still raves to this day, about the food The Wooden Spoon made for our wedding! When we woke up the morning after our amazing wedding, both my husband and I had the same question - where's the leftover food?! (Side note - there was none, because it was that delicious that not a crumb was left).
    I also have to tell you that I have a severe gluten intolerance. The Wooden Spoon made my entire menu gluten free and I swear not single person noticed. The food was creative, delicious, abundant, gluten free and safe for me to eat!

    Thank you Krisztina and The Wooden Spoon for making our wedding day over the top amazing with your delicious food, incredible service and general awesomeness!

    The Wooden Spoon Catering Company was the highlight of our wedding! My vision of our wedding was for our guests to thoroughly enjoy themselves & I could see our guests enthusiastically enjoying all the delicious food The Wooden Spoon Catering Company prepared!. Our guests were stuffed! We got many compliments about the food. The owner of the company understood what the vibe of our wedding was and made appropriate delectable suggestions. My family & friends were more than pleased!
