David Alan is more than just a catering company. They are EVERYTHING you need to pull off the wedding of your dreams, especially if you're like me and didn't want to hire a wedding planner. Rachael Anthony was my coordinator and my wedding at the Wadsworth Mansion literally would not have been the amazing night it was without her. If you use David Alan ASK FOR RACHAEL! I wanted an entirely outdoor wedding, and despite the threat of rain, she made it happen (logistically outdoor weddings can be extremely difficult).
Now of course, I'd recommend them solely based on the food. Everyone, and I mean everyone, told us it was the best wedding steak they'd ever had. Perhaps, even the best steak in general. But they are so much more than the incredible food. Rachael helped me bring my vision to life. I had so many little details I wanted executed and a big vision for all of the decor. Rachael spent hours with me planning, organizing and giving insight from her years of experience in the biz. In all the photos you'll see in this post, Rachael coordinated it all for me to genuinely make my dreams come true. She pulled me aside before guests arrived so I could soak it up before the craziness of the day began. I cried seeing all the hard work and details coming together so perfectly. It was all because of her. From my dance floor rentals, tent rental, the champagne glasses and raspberries I bought on my own to cut down on costs (which she let me do) to the bar set up. Everything was just perfect.
Not to mention, she was extremely open and honest in helping me work within my budget and then keeping me on budget! LOL David Alan allows clients to provide their own alcohol and it saved us so much money! Plus, they packed all the rest up for us at the end of the night so we got to keep the leftovers. I have so much love for DAC and genuinely can't recommend them enough. ESPECIALLY if you are doing an outdoor wedding, and/or getting married at the Wadsworth, you should hire them without a doubt. -

I can't even put into words how absolutely wonderful it was to work with David Alan Hospitality Group for our wedding. From the initial call with David to our wedding day with the DAHG team it was an incredible experience. The team went above and beyond to make sure that we felt comfortable, excited, and fully taken care of during planning through to the end of our day. The food was incredible and we got constant compliments on it being "the best wedding food" our guests had ever had. I cannot thank the entire team enough and cannot recommend them more for someone else's wedding day! -

Becca B. Sent on 11/08/2022Went absolutely above and beyond for our wedding!
We own David Alan a massive thank you for our wedding day! Everyone involved worked like a well oiled machine! Rachel worked her butt off making sure things went smoothly and worked proactively to fix issues before they became issues. We had the pleasure of having Lauren be our day of helper getting us water and making sure we ate during the whole event which was amazing. The group also helped us coordinate and be an extra set of eyes for our ceremony, helping us time people walking down the aisle. Above and beyond what we wanted from them. The food was amazing everyone was thrilled to eat anything that was put in front of them coming back for more! we had a thanksgiving theme dinner and we couldn't have asked for better. The turkey was carved in front of us keeping it from being dry and everything was fabulous. We recommend David Alan not only for the food but also the amazing staff who genuinely care how our event went. -

Renee and her team were amazing and helped us create the perfect menu for our wedding. We set a budget at the very start and Renee ensured we did not go one penny over without having to sacrifice what was most important to us. She went above and beyond on the day to ensure everything ran smoothly and we could not be more grateful. Food was beautifully presented as well as delicious and we would definitely recommend David Alan Hospitality Group for any catering event.David Alan Hospitality Group's reply:
Thank you so much for this! We are truly grateful for the opportunity to help so many amazing people! -

Rachael was the most incredible person to work with. She was hilarious and her attention to detail was bar none. The way the team handled Covid cancellations and reschedules was so generous and professional. Everything about our wedding day was absolutely perfect. The food was phenomenal, the staff was on their game from the minute they walked in the door, and they handled the whole night with grace and ease. The day of David Alan team perfectly catered to our friends and family and I am forever grateful. -

We got married at the Wadsworth Mansion which recommended David Alan to us. We had a lovely tasting a few weeks before the wedding and were able to ask questions about the menu and make some changes such as toning down the spice in one of the dishes. They were easy to work with and did an amazing job handling the restrictions of covid. The food was served in a very safe manner and our guests felt comfortable which was very important to us. -

Incredible wedding caterer!
We are so grateful for our experience with David Alan Hospitality Group for our wedding day held at Smith Farm Gardens! Navigating wedding planning during COVID was not easy, but Meghan was amazing to work with as she met each challenge with ease. She responded to my many emails and phone calls promptly, and she was always willing to give advice and recommendations whenever I needed it. We knew after our very first consultation with her that she had an abundance of knowledge and experience in the industry which gave us complete confidence in her ability to pull everything together. Meghan was very accommodating in working with us for our menu selection and budget at our tastings. Ultimately, the food was incredibly delicious and the presentation was beautiful, and we received so many compliments from our guests. Adding their wedding day coordination relieved so much stress as Rachael and Meghan headed up the execution of everything and everyone involved. I was thrilled that our ceremony and reception was exactly as I envisioned it to be! Our wedding day was perfect and seamless, and I’m so grateful to all the amazing people at DAHG who made it possible! -

Highly recommend DA!
I cannot speak highly enough of Rachael from DA. Rachael and her team went above and beyond the entire process and day of. She helped us customize our menu to reflect ours tastes and my husbands Haitian culture. She understood our vision for the big day and was there every minute to make sure it was everything we had hoped for. The food and presentation was incredible. 5 star rating for me. Thank you Rachael! -

Mackenzie Sent on 07/17/2021Absolutely WONDERFUL caterer
David Alan was a dream to work with from start to finish. They were professional, helped with every question I had over the course of 2.5 years, and of course the food was PHENOMENAL. Absolutely perfect. The cost was just an added bonus, more than reasonable. They decorated our venue exactly how I asked. The staff was SO KIND; I had guests comment after the wedding how wonderful the waitstaff was. At one point, I couldn't locate our day-of coordinator (different vendor) and their point person went above and beyond and made sure to grab my groom and I drinks so we didn't have to get up during dinner which wasn't her job per se. Hands down recommend this company 10/10 to anyone considering them. They were truly exceptional and one of our top notch vendors for all of our wedding festivities. You won't be disappointed. BOOK THEM! -

Flawless. At first, we choose David Alan Hospitality Group (DAHG) for our wedding based on our initial feelings—food was amazing, staff was friendly & helpful, reviews were great. As time went on, it began to feel like it was a privilege and an honor to be able to work with DAHG. There actually aren’t enough positive adjectives to describe DAHG.
We have two viewpoints: One of your common wedding planning and one of a global pandemic.
When we thought we were having planning our original 2020 wedding, the staff DAHG was patient, understanding, kind, helpful, supportive, available. I was in contact with Meghan, who was handling our 2020 wedding and we had the privilege of meeting Rachael during our tasting. The food quality at the tasting was AMAZING—we took whatever was left home, nothing disappointed. Anything we wanted, any kitchen notes we wanted to make, was taken into consideration, and held at high regard.
We booked them in 2019 for our 2020 wedding and then pivoted to 2021 due to the pandemic. When we made this decision, the staff of DAHG was compassionate and understanding and always helpful. During this transition to 2021, Rachael took over as our “go to” person. Rachael was there to ease our minds and worries, help up pivot to a safe wedding of our dreams, listen to me when I asked a million questions, respond to all those questions with patience and knowledge. She was there, along for the ride, and, on what felt like a very long journey, felt more like a friend. I don’t imagine that it is ease to work in a hospitality field—dealing with so many personalities and people—but Rachael has an understanding and belief that each couple is just as important as the next. She was.. she is amazing.
Although knowing the catering company is made of little miracle workers, it is also very important to note FOOD. We are a family who loves food. And we must say THE FOOD WAS AMAZING. 5 people in 2 hours texted me to tell me that the filet was like butter! The quality of the food and presentation was at utmost importance to DAHG and you could tell in every dish.
I can sit here and type a 5 page review on how much we loved DAHG and how satisfied we were with them. But, in short, if you need a caterer, don’t bother looking anywhere else—just go to DAHG.

Cathy B. Sent on 01/10/2020Great from start to finish
What can I say but working with David Alan Hospitality Group was an extremely pleasant experience!! Carley and her staff were so attentive and made the whole process run smoothly from day one until the end of the wedding! We used them for my daughter’s wedding and couldn’t have been happier with every single detail. The most impressive part was that on the day of the wedding is I knew everything was going to be handled professionally and perfectly and that I didn’t have to worry about a thing!!
I really enjoyed the day and could relax knowing that Carley and her team were taking care of all the details. The bartender, Robin was great! They had a bridal attendant to help things run smoothly with introductions and other details. They all seemed to genuinely love their jobs and it showed. Such wonderful people and the food was amazing!! They even had special meals for vegan guests. I can’t say enough good things about our experience and would highly recommended the DAHG for your next event! -

Sam L. Sent on 12/09/2019Our wedding day would not have been possible without Carly and Nate
David Alan was our second pick for a caterer (our friend is a chef at a restaurant that also provides catering) and we did love their tasting. But when we found out that they could also help us with day-of coordination even if they were not our caterer, we knew we needed their expertise! We worked with Carly in advance of the wedding for renting ceremony chairs, extra tables and tablecloths, and all of our glasses and plates (the restaurant would have had to rent them as well and would have passed an additional charge on to us). We also had Nate for our rehearsal , and both of them were there to make the day of absolutely perfect! It was so nice to just enjoy the moment and know that if something needed to happen we could count on them. We could not have done it without them; all of the details were handled and it all went so smoothly. We would absolutely use David Alan for catering as well as planning other events in the future.David Alan Hospitality Group's reply:
Thank you so much! We are so grateful to have been able to help. Nate and Carly loved riding the chair lift:) We wish you much love and happiness!!! -

Megan Sent on 10/16/2019Fantastic caterer!!
From our first meeting, we knew we had to hire David Alan for our wedding at the Branford House. We had done food tastings at a few other caterers and were unimpressed. David Alan blew us away at our tasting and we knew immediately we had found the one. Meghan was fantastic from start to finish. She answered the million questions I had and worked with me through my indecisiveness. We had Robin on the day of the wedding. Robin and the rest of the staff were amazing. Our bridal attendant was right there for anything we needed. The food is fantastic!! We received so many compliments, especially on the sea bass (my personal favorite - I’m still drooling over it) and the prime rib. We had a few chefs at our wedding, so to have them praise the food really tells you how amazing David Alan is. They know the venue well, and worked great with our coordinator and other vendors. I did not worry about a single thing that day! I highly recommend David Alan - you will not be disappointed.David Alan Hospitality Group's reply:
Thank you so much! We were thrilled to be able to help you both and wish you much love and success!!! -

DAHG was a dream come true! The service, the food, the atmosphere was impeccable. I am so thankful that we hired them for our wedding vendor. They were easy to work with, listened to all of our questions and ideas, we're flexible and truly brought our vision to fruition. We got so many compliments on how nice the tables looked, the attention to detail the entire night, and most importantly, how tasty the food was!
As the bride, our bridal attendant was beyond compare. My husband and I joked at how we were going to take him home. I felt so loved and comforted this entire process. I would highly recommend these caterers to anyone. Thank you so so so so much team!! -
