John even talked me into getting less food than I ordered which was great because we had many trays left over Food was amazing. Guests were raving about the Chicken Parm and stuffed mushrooms. Everything was great. We also got Eggplant Parm, Baked Ziti and Veggie Lasagna. All delicious. John took 15 minutes out of his packed schedule to drop off the food personally and go over heating instructions. I can't recommend highly enough. Support good people and local businesses.

I had to replan my entire wedding and had only a few weeks to figure it all out and was stressed- Then I met Krista. Within minutes of meeting, I felt a calmness- I knew Krista was capable of making all my visions come to life for the most special day of my life- and not only did she do that, she superseded those expectations. She pulled off my shower (60 people) and wedding (70 people) within days!! Her food is incredible, her displays are magazine worthy, her plating is impeccable, her staff is unbelievable. The list truly goes on. Hiring Krista Maloney of Sweet Peas was hands down the best decision I made with our wedding. Three weeks later and guests are still ranting and raving. Krista also catered my bridal shower and that was just as phenomenal. Whatever your vision, your style, your event- Sweet Peas can make it all come to life perfectly and deliciously!!

The catering staff and chef produced and provided great food that were the highlight of the event; I heard from everyone how much they enjoyed it (even had some on-call colleagues who gladly answered our calls because they knew they were going to be fed great food during their shift). Forklift is a top recommendation for any high-caliber catered event you might need.
