About

If the quality of the food and service at your wedding is a priority, let's talk! You want your caterer to understand your tastes, take great care of your guests, and provide a phenomenally memorable meal. We cook all of our dishes onsite and take tremendous pride in giving your guests a reason to tell you it's the best food they've ever had at a wedding.

Hiring a caterer is about more than just the food. We've got the most enthusiastic and thoughtful team of servers and bartenders, who are excited to be there for you on your big day.

We're available for upscale weddings as well as more intimate weddings/gatherings/events throughout greater Boston, up to the North Shore, and all over Cape Cod.

We hope you'll get in touch with us to chat about your plans, and we'd be delighted to create a personalized menu/pricing proposal for you.

Incredible food, service, and attitude!

We became huge fans of William and his entire team after attending a wedding that his team catered. Fast forward two years, when we got engaged, we chose the date of the wedding based on when William was free. He's THAT good.

Our experience working with William was fantastic from start to finish. He takes a personalized approach and invests his time, energy, creativity, and incredible skill into every detail of the evening - and he does so with the utmost professionalism. We had a 240-person tented wedding (in hurricane-like conditions...more on that below), and William and his team provided a level of service and quality you might expect from a 20-person dinner party. From the excellent, non-traditional food (we heard MANY people say it was the best wedding food they'd ever had) to the attentive (but not stuffy) service, William made our wedding truly special!

We got married on the coast in Marion, MA in September on the same day that a hurricane was projected to breeze by the Cape, putting our outdoor wedding plans in flux. When we weren't even sure we could hold an outdoor tented ceremony, William assured us that his team would show up wherever we decided to hold the reception (and in whatever conditions). I cannot overstate our appreciation for William's attitude throughout the week leading up to the event.

In summary, hiring William was one of the top decisions we made. His team made an excellent Italian (with some East Coast touches) family-style meal that we simply cannot stop raving about!

William was terrific!

We can't say enough good things about William and his team. From the first time we spoke with him through our wedding day, everything was terrific. William is organized, friendly, and great to work with. He was conscious of our budget and preferences in shaping the menu. And on the wedding day, the food was incredible! We got so many compliments on it, especially the appetizers. William's team of servers were also terrific in setting up the venue, and went above and beyond in working with the venue staff to help handle a health incident involving an elderly guest. We can not recommend William and Julie highly enough!!

Outstanding Food, Drinks, and Service!

I cannot recommend William Ference Catering highly enough. William is friendly, easy to work with, and he and his team make outstanding food and drinks! When my (now) wife and I first met with William, we told him we didn't want to have traditional wedding food and then told him our food preferences. A few days later, he proposed a perfect menu - somehow, it exactly what we wanted even though we never could have thought of it ourselves. On the wedding day, William and his team did a brilliant job - the service was impeccable, and we were able to just enjoy our special day and have delicious food and drinks throughout with our guests. We (and several of our guests) thought the catering was the best we've ever had at a wedding. If/when I need a caterer in the future, I'd work with William and his team again in a heartbeat!
