Here’s What Some of Our WeddingWire Couples are Saying…

“B & M Catered our backyard wedding and it was amazing! Food and service was fantastic, even guests kept telling me afterwards how great the food was! We did a custom menu of BBQ Steak Tips and Salmon, which worked out perfectly. They even accommodated separate plates for allergies and vegan. Day-of service was also spot-on.  

Everything was on time, delicious, and went so smoothly. Tim even came over to our table as soon as food was served to make us a plate of everything we wanted. Bride and Groom were top of mind all night and I cannot say enough great things about them. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for an on-site cooking and serving vendor. Thanks B & M for helping to make my dream day perfect!”

-Lynsey

“We chose B & M to cater our August wedding and were absolutely thrilled with the results! From the initial tasting to final cleanup, everything was handled professionally and efficiently. The selection of menu options is vast and flexible. The food is perfectly delicious and quantities generous. Any leftovers are boxed up for you to take home. As we finished our photo shoot during the cocktail hour, we were amazed to see the B & M staff folding up chairs and taking down decorations from our ceremony site - completely unasked! We could not recommend them more highly for any occasion.”

-Sally F.

Baby it’s cold outside, so why not stay inside and plan a party?

Here are 4 simple ways to spice up your winter event. 

1.  Create a Seasonal Menu 

We’re lucky to experience the four seasons here in New England! Take advantage of that by incorporating in-season winter produce and comfort foods into your menu. 

Our Fall Feast Menu – highlighting Butternut Squash Bisque and Cider Braised Pork Shoulder – is a crowd-pleaser for late-fall and winter events, and you can’t go wrong with a Soup & Salad Station. Other cold weather favorites include Baked Mac n’ Cheese, Lasagna, Guinness Beef Stew and Pulled Pork. 

2.  Craft a Signature Cocktail 

Crafting a signature cocktail is a surefire way to host a memorable party for your guests! Consider a Hot Toddy, Warm Cider or Cranberry Martini, or create your own spin on a classic drink.  

3.  Turn Your Space into a Winter Wonderland 

It’s chilly outside, so turn your event space into a cozy Winter Wonderland! Warm up the space with seasonal flowers, wreaths or pinecone “garland.” And treat your guests to a coffee or DIY hot cocoa bar. Candles, string lights and uplighting can also create a cozy vibe. 

4.  Provide a Seasonal Activity

Maybe the weather doesn’t allow for hanging out on the patio, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have some indoor fun! Provide an activity for your guests like DIY gingerbread houses, a wintery photo booth, or old-fashioned board games! 

We've got ideas for every event.
