Exceptional Catering Experience

We had the Turf Tavern cater our wedding at a different venue on September 16th. It was great to be able to stop by the restaurant for dinner to try some of the selections on their catering menu - we decided quickly that the quality of the food and service they provide would make them our caterer of choice. We were extremely happy with the hors d'oeuvres, dinners, bar, and overall service that they provided. Nicole and Maria were very responsive to any questions we had throughout the wedding planning process and made sure we were taken care of on the day itself. Our guests can't stop talking about how good the food was, and we agree! We would highly recommend the Turf Tavern for any catering needs - especially weddings!
