We had used Hostess Catering for my father's 90th birthday party and were very pleased so decided to use them again for his memorial service today. The food was excellent as was the presentation. The servers were very responsive and professional. It allowed us to be able to visit with guests without worrying. I highly recommend them for your catering needs. read more

We planned my dad's memorial service for Dec 29th. I felt so fortunate to have worked with Hostess Catering and Visnja. As you can imagine, planning details for a memorial service are extremely difficult, but Visnja was very kind and easy to work with. She was responsive and listened to what we wanted and accommodated everything. The food presentation and small personal details were really nice as well. And, so many people remarked about how wonderful the food tasted. We were lucky to have Visnja and her company host such an important event to us. read more

I do a lot of catering orders for my company. We have had many terrible experiences and some just OK experiences. In the few times we have used Hostess Catering everything has been perfect - yes absolutely spot on perfect! These ladies are amazing. From first working out the order details down to the very last details of setting up their attention to detail and the amount of love and care they put into their food shows through. They work with you to create a custom menu that works for you not only in your price range but the right food combinations for your group. They will provide all of the cutlery and setup as well. This is a huge win to me. The food is flavorful and delicious. Even the sandwiches are perfectly crafted. Today we had an "Italian" pasta salad that was more or less a caprese salad broken down with pasta - I can't even put into words how delicious this was. Their macarons will also leave you at a loss of words when you try them... and you must try them! We will continue to use them whenever we have larger catering orders. read more

We would highly encourage anyone that has a special event to work with Hostess!!!! We were over the moon with the quality of food and service for the price. We are one of the couples who had to postpone their previous weddings plans due to Covid and plan a last minute backyard ceremony. Even though we were planning it from another state and on a tight time line, Donna was so warm, accommodating, responsive and informative. We came up to the Boston area last minute to do a tasting and even with two weddings that day, they made sure we got to try everything we wanted with a neat care package. The day of the wedding was seamless. Our guests raved about the food. The menu descriptions undersold the high quality. Even the salad was seasonal and delicious. We had vegans, pescatarians, gluten free and carnivorous guests whom we were easily able to accommodate. The staff was so kind. It made our day so much more special and easy. They left the kitchen spotless and I can't wait to eat the leftovers for dinner tonight. We would absolutely hire them for any other events in the future. Thanks Hostess!!! read more

I wanted to rate Hostess 5 stars for our wedding, and for the food and day of appearance and help with rentals I still will! Everything was so tasty and beautifully displayed and my guests are still RAVING about the donut wall. Everything at cocktail hour was fabulous and the variety of food and friendliness of the staff was wonderful. There was so much good work done and we really appreciate it! It takes a lot to pull off an event like this and they totally delivered there- our guests never had an inkling about anything below. On billing and organization I would give 2.5. There was a lot of confusion and we needed to keep a really close eye on how much we had already paid and on changes that were made to our invoices , both in quantity of food and rentals (but this gets really tricky and confusing when trying to match to a fluctuating guest list!) There were a few times where the amount recorded as paid was off by $1k and the amount of food went up without us knowing, had we not checked and just paid it that would have been bad! Better communication would help this. And finally day of wedding, there was a mixup with tips and payment and the manager actually approached the mother of the bride and asked for more money than what she was given for tips in the middle of the reception. This was also AFTER being given money by the family of the groom and also told by the coordinator that the mixup would be taken care of later. It put a bad taste in our mouths, as the mother of the bride was not at all involved in this payment and it put a LOT of stress on us as a couple on the night of our wedding. We wished they would have waited until after to settle up as many of our other vendors did and let us enjoy our night. Tips are intended to be as appreciation of a job well done and if expected should just be included in the bill and communicated clearly. (There was a 5% service fee included) We considered this to be very unprofessional behavior and an apology was given night of after the bride (and others) brought it up directly, but then never addressed after the fact. I cannot for this reason wholeheartedly recommend Hostess. read more

We hired Hostess Catering to help us with a really complex fundraising gala - three cocktail style parties all on the same night. As the party planner and organizer, I can't say enough good things about Donna and Visjna!! They made everything from dropoff, to service, to pickup run so smoothly and stress free. They were able to accomodate last minute changes from scaling down the number of parties due to COVID and scaling up the numbers of guests. The food was amazing, and we received such great feedback about it from guests. I 100% recommend Hostess for your next catering event! read more

An absolute wonderful experience. With 2 week's notice, they assisted in getting a perfect menu for my son's graduation. Food was perfect. Very professional and always communicating so you never worry. Highly recommend and will use them for any future events! read more

They catered my daughter's wedding on 9/5 and the food was exellent! The staff was so attentive and professional . Guests are still raving about the food. Definitely would recommend them! read more

Amazing service, amazing food, fair prices. We have them cater for us at my company a lot. They set everything up for us. I can't say enough good things about them. Strongly recommend! read more

The food was good; the set up looked appetizing; they were precisely on time; they brought everything we talked about plus a little more; and they were easy and pleasant to work with. I hired this company based on reviews and several phone calls with them. But, because I didn't have a reference from anyone I knew, I worried. We were doing what they call a drop off--bring food, drinks, place settings and serving stuff, set it all up, and leave until pick up later in the day; no staffing needed--for a brunch for 20. They did a wonderful job. The food was very good. The price was reasonable. I am a foodie; I highly recommend them. read more

Hands down, one of the most positive experiences of hiring a caterer in my life. Visnja and Donna are two of most charming, friendly people I have had the pleasure of meeting. They were always very prompt in returning communication. They have a real eye for how things should be set up as well. We thought we had set up everything for our wedding reception dinner before Visnja and Donna arrived. When we returned they had transformed the space into something truly magical. To top it all off, the food was outstanding, especially considering how much we paid. They were very reasonable with their pricing, and in fact were the most affordable thumbtack offer we received for the job. All in all, I find comfort in the fact that I no longer have to search for a caterer again. I just have to give Visnja and Donna a call, and I think you should too. read more

Working with Hostess Catering was such a positive experience, I can't praise them enough. I was hosting a wedding shower for a bride-to-be who was both vegetarian and gluten-free. How on earth does one put together an appealing meal for a diet like that! I worked mostly with Donna who did not hesitate for a second. She was cheerful and upbeat and had a thousand wonderful suggestions. She was experienced and compassionate about the dietary requirements and was very ready to create a menu to accommodate our needs. It was truly a pleasure to work with her. On the day of our event, we had an array of beautifully presented dishes that tasted absolutely delicious. (BTW, their home-made macarons are heavenly.) Our guests were genuinely impressed and several asked who did the catering. I highly recommend Hostess Catering for any event, large or small. read more

I had finalized my menu options and signed their agreement but they cancelled on me out of the blue! The reason they gave me was that I did not send them a check to secure the date. Their terms and conditions states that they need to receive the check no later than 10 days prior to the actual event date. There were 40 days to go until my event so it was confusing as to why they canceled on me. Before they sent me the cancellation email, I had also emailed and asked them to confirm that my date was secure to which they never replied. If they wanted the check sooner than what their terms and conditions stated then they should have informed me and I would have sent the check to them, but they never communicated this to me. I had peace of mind that my caterers are all set but now I have to start all over again with someone else with less time on hand. Very unprofessional and poor customer service. Disappointing experience! read more

I can't rave enough about Donna and Visnja and their amazing team. First, I wanted to create a garden party fantasy to celebrate the wedding of my son to his childhood sweetheart. I wanted a tented environment totally unlike the usual spread of 10-person tables, centerpieces and dance floor. The Hostess ladies gave me quotes from separate event planners which made my jaw drop with shock at the cost. They gave me complete confidence we could ignore the expensive event planners, and that just between the three of us, we could create a fantasy to thrill anyone, and they came through in such a fantastic way I will be singing their praises forever! Our guests were blown away by the gorgeous garden environment I created with the help of The Ladies. Some of the reviews from my guests: "Beautiful event last night!!! You did a fantastic job..."; "We are all swimming in the joy of last night's spectacular evening."; "Thank you for including us in such a beautiful evening!" THANK YOU, Donna and Visnja! I can't wait for the next big event I have to plan.....you will be the very first phone call! Love you both always. Second, Hostess Catering was hired by the bride's parents specifically for the food, and that's how I came to be introduced. It goes without saying the dinner and hors d'oeuvres were AMAZING, and the staff beyond compare. read more

Right out of the gate Hostess Catering proved to have amazing customer service, they replied quickly with clear responses. I had questions and adjustments along the way, it never seemed to be an issue. They even suggested a menu for the type of party, this was key since when you look at menus online, it is a bit overwhelming. They really listened and came through with flying colors. On the day of the event, Visnja showed up exactly when she said with the food, extra platters, instructions, and serving suggestions. The food was fresh, tasty, and everyone complimented. If I ever have the opportunity to hire a caterer, I will reach out to Hostess and highly recommend. Thank you Visnja and Hostess Catering! read more

Hostess Catering recently catered our sons bar mitzvah and did a fantastic job. Donna took care of everything for us and made it a seamless event. I felt like I was in very capable hands and could just relax and enjoy the party! And we had tons of complements on the food which was delicious. We could not have been more pleased with their service (the waitstaff were all super attentive and very friendly) or the food. Thank you for a great event! read more
