We cannot recommend Off the Vine Catering highly enough! They truly were the full package for our wedding. Not only did they provide the food and bar, but they also handled most of our rentals including the chairs, tableware, signage, and even set up all of the décor we brought. Everything looked beautiful and was set up exactly how we envisioned it! The tasting is what sold us from the very beginning. Their food was far better than anything else we tried. Even though they were on the higher end of our budget, the team worked with us to create a menu that matched what we wanted while still being affordable. We mostly worked with Anne, who was amazing throughout the entire planning process! She answered every single email so quickly, reached out to other vendors on our behalf, and was so organized that we never felt like we needed a wedding coordinator. On the wedding day, they arrived early and had everything set up before we even got there. They also managed the full room flip, turning the ceremony space into the reception space during cocktail hour, and our guests never even realized it was happening. The staff was kind, attentive, and professional the entire day. Isabelle, our head server, took such great care of us! She made sure we always had food and drinks in hand and that we didn't miss out on anything during cocktail hour or dinner. And the food was every bit as good as it had been at the tasting. We chose buffet style, and everything was fresh, hot, and flavorful. It honestly tasted like it had been made for each guest individually, which is so impressive for a buffet. Even the chicken stayed perfectly juicy! They also served plated salads during the toasts, which was such an excellent idea. For dessert, we skipped the cake and went with their roaming cannoli service. It was such a hit! A chef walked around to each table piping fresh cannolis with toppings for every guest, and people are still talking about how fun and delicious it was! At the end of the night, the team broke everything down and packed up just as efficiently as they had set it up. They took care of everything so that we didn't have to worry about anything. Off the Vine gave us incredible food, seamless service, and amazing people who truly cared about making our day perfect. Choosing them was the best decision we made for our wedding. read more

Five star the most delicious food service people ever. I used Off the Vine to cater my daughters bridal shower, we had a sit down served chicken milanese over arugula salad and lemon risotto, tuscan foccacia. Prepared fully with their portable kitchens in my garage, served all of us in the garden with their incredible staff. Chef David...incredible. The most beautiful and delicious party I have ever had at home. David did a site visit to plan the tablescape too. Clean up, service, uniforms...I cannot say enough. Perfecto! Thank you so very very much. All of our friends and family have raved over the most delicious luncheon, still getting texts and calls days later. Christine Serowik read more

I had attended a birthday party at Orchard Cove and thought the food was fabulous, beautifully presented, and clearly enjoyed by all. Vegetable platters, small lovely sandwiches, dip platters, fruit and cheese, amazing looking cookies, cupcakes, cakes, all really inviting. I remembered the name and got in touch when I had a very different and much sadder event, with people to feed, and on very short notice. Despite having a huge event at MIT, they took my order and couldn't have been kinder or made it any easier on us. Anne is simply wonderful, thoughtful, and communicative. Matt so helpful, nice, efficient... They made us feel like we had true comfort food...and delicious at that. If I could give them 6 stars I would! Thanks again to all staff at Off The Vine. read more

I attended a fundraising event at Misselwood in Beverly tonight. The venue was beautiful. However, the food and service was also incredible! The food was Southern fare and sooo yummy! The food stations were always stocked and clean! The waitstaff was amazing! All of them, and there were plenty were smiling and pleasant and right there to pick up a dirty plate or napkin. The bar staff was very helpful and again smiling and pleasant. I would hire these folks in a heartbeat! read more

We at the John P Connors Memorial Fund would like to thank all of you at Off the Vine Catering for the fabulous food and service at our Gala 03June alongside the USS Constitution. We started the day with a wind and weather warning, we may have to move our event as it was under a tent. But, after talking to the lovely staff of Off the Vine Catering, we forged ahead. From the time the showed up on the dock, they were full steam ahead, everyone helping to get us back on schedule. From the passed appetizers to the beautifully displayed buffet tables to the Cannoli Bar, the Off the Vine People were amazing and food Top Notch. We have received many compliments since the event, many coming from people that attend many "Galas." If you want it done right and in good taste, Off the Vine is your only option in Boston. read more

I've worked with Off the Vine to have them steam hot dogs for a charity event I manage, Great Strides Walpole, benefiting the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Holly & the Off the Vine staffers are so easy to work with. They take care of our unusual request to steam hot dogs we provide to them, and always have them ready for us to pick up on walk day. I would recommend Off the Vine for your catering needs. read more

In September 2020, I officated my Brother's wedding at my house. I'm a reverend, certified in MA. I offered my house and services and he took care of the food and booze. The caterer was Off The Vine and ... wow! There were 12 guests and my brother ordered food for 30 or something. We're Sicilian. We have to cook or order that much food! The food was promptly delivered at 11am: Focaccia bread, cold cut antipasto, caesar salad, chicken/ziti/broccoli, chicken parmigiana, and cannoli for dessert. First, I have to tell you, do NOT order the Focaccia bread! If you do, you will eat so much of it that you won't be able to eat anything else! This is the best focaccia I have ever had. I literally could not stop eating it and was mad that I couldn't eat enough of everything else, which was all just as delicious. Luckily, there was so much food that we had plenty of leftovers to enjoy again. Except the focaccia. That was all gone! read more

One word for this caterer, AMAZING! My daughter's wedding was yesterday and because of Covid it got moved to the backyard under a tent. Darren and his crew cooked outside and delivered every single meal hot. The food was awesome, the appetizers, the desserts, so good. The guests were raving about how delicious everything was. Amazing, just amazing. Without hesitation I highly recommend OFF THE VINE! Thank you so very much for the outstanding service and the incredible food. Linda Vitale read more

Tobi and her staff provided exceptional service and excellent food for our daughters recent wedding at Misselwood. The dinner was outstanding and most plates were wiped clean.

We used Off the Vine for our corporate Holiday Luncheon last week and everything was delicious! We had many compliments on the food! Our Event Planner Amanda Eddy was outstanding!! So kind and helpful! Not only did she help me with the menu, she came on site the day of the luncheon to help setup our event to perfection! We will definitely be using them again in the future! read more

I have now attended two events catered by OTV. Both times I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of service and food. I'm amazed at how the staff kept the flow so professional, Clean and comfortable. The food, to die for!! I had lamp and beef that was out of this world. Maybe I had more than my portion size, it was that good, I couldn't stay away!! Now recommending them to a friend that's getting married soon. Fabulous job to this catering company!! read more

Off The Vine Catering are true professionals. Amanda Eddy went above and beyond to ensure that my all Vegan Brunch wedding was exactly as I imagined. Amanda kept me in the loop for every decision and was very attentive to my preferences and vision to have entirely cruelty free cuisine. The whole staff was friendly and super helpful in on the day of my wedding. They even hand boxed all of the flowers at the end of the day- there were hundreds, which were laid out on the table runners. I highly recommend OTV and Amanda for any of your catering needs! read more

Amazing all the way!!! From the management staff, to the servers, to the chefs,bartender and FOOD! Classic act ...start to finish . The Noodle "action station" was a huge hit, food fresh and tasty too. ( even provided take out Chinese boxes) Not your average catering . Created a specialized menu to accommodate the needs of our 50+ guests, including vegans. I hired for my grandson's first birthday backyard soirée and wanted to do zero as far as set up and clean up of food. I was able to truly relax after I watched the team in action setting up for the event... Passed appetizers, incredible Mediterranean table, Too much to list! Would use again for sure. Highly recommend for a small or large venue. The attention to detail was perfection! Followed up immediately . Totally satisfied from the initial call to the clean up. Bravo to Off the Vine Catering! You truly surpassed my expectations. read more

Unfortunately, I had a bad experience with this company. I was in communication with Walter about a small after-elopement celebration. I let him know that I would need a new estimate for a smaller event (from 50 down to 35). I received an email from him at 10:47 AM asking me if we were going to go ahead with the revised proposal; I responded at 11:12 AM in the affirmative. He then emailed me back at 11:53 AM that he'd given away my spot, without further explanation. Based on his emails it seemed likely that a larger, more lucrative event came along. This company had come recommended as a preferred vendor by our venue, and I've also let them know about this experience. Very disappointed in their customer service. read more

This is the second year we ordered from off the vine for a small birthday party. The staff was pleasant to deal with and we placed the order from ezcater. We ordered a light supper with beef Wellington, finger sandwiches and the chicken kebabs. The food was excellent except for the chicken kebabs. They did not look appetizing and tasted also pretty bland. One order was huge ( I think it said it served 20 and we only had 8 adults with some children). I think the guests did not really like them either because each person ate only one kebab and the rest stayed in our fridge until we threw them all out the next day because no one liked them. Although I must add that the tzatziki sauce it came with was good and made the tasteless kebabs slightly more bearable. read more

Although it has been a few years since I got married, I neglected to write a review of this place. They catered my wedding and to this day our guests still talk about the food and the cake they made! It was some of the most creative and downright delectable hors' devours as well as the most delicious dinner we have ever had. To top it off the cake was delicious and they even had a bar service they provided all at the most reasonable cost you will ever find. The staff is both professional and helpful and works hard to plan your event down to the last detail. I highly recommend this service for any type of event. Awesome! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Off the Vine. To start, their staff is spectacular. Amanda, the wedding coordinator, reached out to me immediately to get the ball rolling. She worked with me to ensure the food was within my budget. We even met at the event space twice so that she knew how to set everyone up for the day of the event. She was great about listening to what I wanted and also at advising on different linen, decoration, and setup ideas when needed. We met again two days before the event to go through all of the final details. She also had all of the vendor information so that she could ensure everything was flowing smoothly from their end. She had everything organized and planned and is extremely knowledgeable about wedding coordinating. The day of the event, Amanda arrived first followed by the catering staff. I had sent Amanda a picture of the table arrangements. She brought decorations for the buffet to coordinate with the centerpieces as well as set up all of the tables. With knowing what I wanted, the staff just took charge, asking questions when needed to ensure that everything was set up how we wanted. They also set up all of the cupcakes for dessert. The display was gorgeous. Everything was absolutely beautiful. They did a great job taking the one picture I sent and making everything come to life. The food was also spectacular. In past experiences with other caterers, the food had sometimes been dry or under seasoned. Not with Off the Vine. The food was WONDERFUL! It was as if we had gone out to a nice restaurant. It was perfectly cooked and tasted delicious. The guests kept telling us how much they loved it, too. Vicky was the event coordinator. She ensured that everything Amanda and I had discussed was enacted. She also kept us on time and let us know when to make speeches, etc. She got everyone seated and ensured that everyone was taken care of the entire night. The whole staff at Off the Vine just made our day stress free and absolutely perfect. I would highly recommend them to anyone. read more

We hired Off the Vine for our wedding this past weekend and can not even begin to tell you how UNBELIEVABLE everything was. Our guests are raving about the food- someone even told me it was the BEST wedding food they have ever had! Holly & Darren took the time to walk us through every step of the way. They made suggestions when asked and took care of every detail. The stations ran smoothly and we were beyond impressed with our servers! Having a server for the bride and groom is just genius. I didn't even have to think and could enjoy myself instead of hunting around for food and drink. The presentation was amazing and when another vendor made a mistake - Holly stepped right in and solved the issue without the bride knowing about it! I can't say enough about them- perfect in every way! read more

Off the Vine was nothing short of INCREDIBLE for our wedding on 09/24/2016. The food, the staff, the professionalism is top notch. Amanda was our OTV coordinator and she is just a god send. There were countless emails back and forth throughout the year and she did not skip one single beat. No detail was overlooked. She was always, always one step ahead. I cannot say enough good things about this company. I had a big, tented, backyard DIY wedding and I worked with over 10 vendors to provide all of the details. It was so incredibly stressful and chaotic at times. I mean it when I say if it weren't for Amanda's consistent, calm, professional and organized demeanor, I probably would have lost my mind. I can promise you, you will not have any regrets! (You would not believe the amount of people who told me it was the best wedding food they ever had!) read more

Overall we were very pleased with OFV. They were super easy and helpful to work with. We ordered some platters and hot hors d'oeuvres from the "Foods to Go" menu for our annual holiday cocktail party. We had used other catering companies before so guests could "graze" and given the rave reviews decided to give OFV a try. Food arrived on time and the driver was very helpful with setup and even refused a tip! Overall the food was very good. We ordered 3 hot hors d'oeuvres , scallops wrapped in bacon, beef Wellington's and crab cakes. The beef Wellington's were the party favorite and we cleared the platter in no time. The crab cakes however were disappointing. For trays, we ordered the sandwiches, chicken kabobs and antipasto. All were very delicious. I was surprised by the antipasto as I thought it was more a true antipasto platter versus a salad. It was still very tasty but rather difficult for our guests to graze on since it was more of a salad but the portion was large and generous. Also just a comment, some of the serving trays are the black industrial ones so a swap is needed depending on the ambiance of your event. Having ordered trays from other catering companies before, they usually come on a bit more of a nondescript plastic platter versus the black commercial one, so I wasn't expecting this and honestly probably wouldn't order those trays again for this type of event. I would highly recommend the hot apps and would give more of those and the cold ones a try for next time. Overall a nice experience. read more

OFF THE VINE catered my son's wedding at Powisset Farm. The venue is unique as it is a working farm and they had 3 hours to transform it into a spectacular site. Amanda is amazing. She attends to every detail. We kept changing the layout, up until 2 days before the wedding, and it was no problem for her. The staff is efficient and kind to work with. The food was exceptional. Everyone commented on how fresh and delicious it was. We had a great menu. I can't say enough good about it. They are also very reasonably priced. read more

If I could give them 6 stars I would. I hosted a breakfast for Father's Day and went with the Executive Breakfast - far exceeded my expectations. I live 1/2 hour away from Norwood and when food arrived it was all still piping hot. They thought of everything, including a small bottle of ketchup for those who like that on their eggs. The amount of food was way more than enough for the amount of people I hosted. I worked with Holly who also gets 5 stars. She even sent me an e-mail the day before to re-confirm pick up time and to give me the name of the contact at the pick up door. Value well worth the money. I will be using Off the Vine for future parties. read more

Cannot say enough good things about Off the Vine; they catered our wedding (100 guests) and the food and service were extraordinary. Fresh and expertly prepared-- Succulent lamb chops, juicy shrimp cocktail, amazing meze table, signature drinks people raved about, a fun bartender (Jacqueline) and food stations people are still talking about three weeks later! Amanda Allard was professional and charming and warm and VERY RESPONSIVE throughout the year+ we worked with her. Amanda, thank you for ensuring that we actually got to taste the food we paid for :). We had complete faith in Amanda, the chefs & the entire team and can't imagine ever working with another caterer in Boston!!! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. We miss you Amanda! read more

Off the Vine, I would give you a 10! We had them cater a small post funeral reception. Everyone was talking bout how great the food was. Great Caesar salad and yummy dressing. The lasagna was thick as they described, but the pasta was very light. It looked and tasted like home made, and that was both the meat and vegetarian. Never worked with a cater before, and they were so flexible and helpful. Made the whole process nice and easy. The young man who delivered the food was on time and helpful with a few questions we had. You can't miss with this company! read more

I recently used Off the Vine Catering for a party in my home. It was a fantastic experience. From my very first contact with salesperson extraordinaire, Amanda Eddy, everything went very smoothly. Amanda understood exactly what I wanted. She listened to me carefully and made my vision for the party into a reality. We did an Asian theme for the food and decorations. The food was absolutely delicious, the staff were all friendly, efficient and hard-working. I would definitely use Off the Vine Catering again. I recommend them highly. read more

We used Off the Vine catering for our wedding about a month ago. The food was delicious, and we're still hearing from the guests how good it was. On top of that, the service was exactly what we needed. They acted as the day of coordinator for the wedding and became the point person for all of the vendors. We worked with Amanda- she was AMAZING. She is so easy to get in touch with and very responsive too all concerns and questions. She is very organized and everything at the wedding was the way we wanted it. read more

Off the Vine was just at our office for a tasting - fabulous food; fresh, well-seasoned and not overly seasoned, tender poultry/beef selections, and excellent salads. Highly recommend! read more

The staff at off the vine is super friendly and helpful. Carol, the onsite events manager, went above and beyond to delight a VIP guest - she couldn't have been more accommodating. The food was delicious and had a great presentation. Wonderful servers too. Would definitely recommend and use again. read more

Toby was the WORST! The night of the wedding, she argued with any problems we had. They actually watered down the wine (that we supplied) One of the bartenders told several guests if they wanted a decent drink, they need to tip her. What a nightmare! The saving grace was Melissa (one of the bartenders) and the two guys were very helpful! read more

These folks were excellent. A seamless operation for a party of fifty at my home from start to finish. They are very professional and thorough from setup to cleanup. Needless to say that the food was fantastic and appreciated by all. The menu is very broad so everyone should be able to create an event that appeals to the most discerning palates. Highly recommended and would have them back in a heart beat for my next party! read more

I can't say enough about this caterer! The food was phenominal, the service was phenominal, the menu planning process was super easy! My Guests are still raving about the food! read more

We had Off the Vine cater our August wedding for 125 people. They did an AWESOME job! The food was amazing and the service was exceptional. Also, Amanda coordinated the wedding with exceptional attention to detail and was thoughtful throughout. She even helped us with the rehearsal the night before. And, after getting several quotes from other vendors, I found OTV to be very reasonably priced. Highly recommend! read more

We had a surprise 65th birthday party for my mother on 12/21. One of my younger sisters found them while doing an internet search and based upon the reviews, we decided to hire them. Service from start to finish was impeccable! Kerri at Vine Street was a gift from God. My sisters wanted to do "finger foods" for the event. I personally thought finger foods for this kind of event was a bit tacky but since the majority ruled, I let it go. Kerri suggested we go with an actual dinner menu and stated we would get more bang for our buck if we went the dinner route and she was right. Everyone LOVED the food! People scarfed down the chicken parmesan and the vegetarian lasagne. One of my aunts stated that if she has to do another event she would definitely use Off the Vine. Kerri even assisted with the cake. I was pertty clueless with this part of the planning process and just let her go with it. LOL! It was awesome letting her take the reigns. She understood our need and everything was PERFECT! Thank you so much Off the Vine for making this event a success! Oh. And I don't want to forget about the man who delivered the food. He was there a little early which worked for me and set up the food in record timing. Great job all across the board! read more

We used Off the Vine to cater a small luncheon following my grandmother's funeral. I couldn't have been happier with both their customer service and quality of food. We had a simple menu of sandwiches, veggie platter and sweets/coffee but again the quality was fantastic! We will definitely use them for future events at our house. read more

Off the Vine did a fantastic job for our sons graduation party. Debbie was well organized, stepped me through all the options, made recommendations as I changed some of the menu, and was there to make the presentation perfect. The food was fantastic from the raw bar to the lobster, steak tips, chicken, everything... All the folks were pleasant, helpful, and accommodating. Excellent job, all the guests raved... Thank you! read more

I have used Off the Vine Caterers three times for functions in our home. They are unbelievably great and much better than other caterers I have used. Guests rave about how good the food is, the service is spectacular, and they leave my home cleaner than it was when they arrived. Holly comes to do a site visit before the event and plans linen colors, seasonal decorations, etc. They totally transform my house for the event. read more

Off the Vine Catering catered our daughter's wedding reception at Audubon's Habitat Education Center and Wildlife Sanctuary in Belmont, MA in April, 2018. OTV was on the list of preferred vendors from Audubon. From their first contact with Pearl, the couple were confident that they would have the food they wanted at their reception and it would be within their budget. Pearl worked with them to make sure they would be happy with vegetarian choices the bride wanted and meat choices the groom wanted. And the food was delicious! Pearl was very friendly, efficient, helpful and creative and put the parents and the couple at ease with her confidence and ideas about how to do things with class, while being conscious of budget. The cocktail hour food, the buffet meal, the cake, were all yummy, beautifully displayed, and plentiful. She made sure there was someone to keep the bride and groom well- hydrated and fed throughout the day and the entire staff on the day of the wedding was efficient, friendly and attentive. All the details were well-thought out beforehand and everything was done unobtrusively and smoothly on the day of the wedding. We can't say enough good things about this caterer. Don't hesitate to have them help you interpret your vision for your event! read more

I hired this caterer for the 50th Reunion dinners at Wellesley College, two events averaging 300 people each. The first evening they ran out of food, the line for food was 21/2 hours long. The planning was inadequate:not enough help, food stations, or food. The second dinner also di not have enough help or drink stations, dand the food was dreadful:dry chicken, repeated vegetable ( in two sides) and a dry, tastless biscuit with few strawberries passing as strawberry shortcake. Never hire this caterer. They are not competent and the food is dreadful read more
