The BEST Catering Team!!!

We don't have enough words for how much we enjoyed working with Gina and Mary! They truly went above and beyond to make our wedding planning and wedding day spectacular! They are so incredibly easy to work with and at the end, almost feel like family! Not to mention the food is OUTSTANDING! They catered our rehearsal dinner the night before as well and the whole weekend we received so many raving reviews about the quality and multitude of options we had! I could not have imagined working with a different caterer and I PROMISE you, they are worth it and then some!! I'm still getting comments about how good the food was - weeks later! Best decision ever!!

I'll Never Have a Party Without Food for Thought

Gina helped me tremendously with her guidance and great attention to detail. The entire staff was easy to work with. We received tons of compliments for all their delicious dishes (❤️ salmon) from hors d'oeuvres to desserts, presentation and service. Our event ran smoothly , everything executed perfectly. Answered all my questions and helped me with many items I didn't even think of. They catered to all my needs and our event ran smoothly. We were able to enjoy ourselves at our party since Food for Thought handled every detail with ease, professionalism and a smile. I will work with them for any celebration. They helped with all the planning, butler service and bar tending. We were all comfortable and confident that everything would run smoothly with their help and leadership. It turned out better than we'd hoped for. Thank you, Gina, Mary and the rest of the crew. Thank you for helping us have a wonderful celebration.
