Pepper's recently catered our wedding. We were looking for a caterer willing to prepare some traditional Filipino dishes and Pepper's did such an amazing job that even the groom's sister, who is a cook, was raving about the food (which is really hard to make her do). Everyone loved the food! We are still hearing about it. The staff at Pepper's were incredibly professional and worked within our budget. They made some wonderful suggestions and our wedding day could not have gone smoother. The wait staff was incredible too. We really felt that we were working with friends and that was a great feeling.

Peppers was flat out spectacular! From our first meeting with them their hospitality and professionalism was clearly a top priority, with the introduction to the chef, appetizers and beverages during our meeting and the obvious level of knowledge about their profession. This was all such a relief to us after meeting with several other caterers who simply put together the generic wedding, Pepper's put an extra touch of personality into our wedding, with the Nasturtiums filled with Boursin, the extra touches they added to the decor and the overall friendliness of the ENTIRE staff. Pepper's catered both our rehearsal dinner and the wedding reception, they coordinated with a party company to provide the tent, dance floor, tables, chairs and everything else we needed. Other caterers we met with laughed at us when we asked about these services, Pepper's was more than willing to arrange everything and the companies they used to supply the rentals were true professionals also. The entire planning stage was a breeze, John and Leslie were so nice and helpful thought the entire several months before the event include up to the day of. Leslie would respond to frantic e-mails with calm reassuring words letting us know they had everything under control and had already planned on what we just though of. John (co-owner) was there setting up the bar and helping the event staff. Cherie who was our event manager was amazing, she would always have a smile on her face ensuring the night was going to plan and always offering if we or anyone else needed anything. The food was delicious, not much else to say about that. We've eaten at 5 star restaurants that didn't even come close to the quality and taste of Pepper's. The Seafood Trilogy, Bistro Fillet of Angus Beef and Chicken Marsala were our three choices and all were exceptional, our guests all left completely satisfied raving about the food. Overall, Pepper's is truly a first class company, everyone we met on their staff showed what a amazing, talented and professional caterer they are.

If I could give 10 stars for each category I would. Peppers is AMAZING. From the long planning meetings, where we outlined and customized every detail, to the creative thinking and suggestions, to the efficient vendor management, the day of organization and exceptional execution across the board, Peppers simply rocks. We had an outdoor New England wedding in June, and it was perfect much due to the contributions of Peppers. John Lawrence ran the show from beginning to end seamlessly. The food was stellar – lamb lollipops, tuna ceviche, orchids with borsin, a chef active scallop station, coffee dusted turkey loin, tenderloin with wine sauce, chef active risotto station, and more – all hands-down impeccable. And words cannot describe the food and station presentation; we felt like we were at a 5-star restaurant, not in our back yard.If you want guests to remember the food at your wedding, go with Peppers!!

The menu Pepper's provided was beyond expectations. We have food most wedding food to lack originality and taste. Not so with Peppers! Wonderfully flavorful dishes and a custom designed menu to our exact specifications. They have wonderful ideas and high-quality food. And their wedding day service staff is on point with every detail. There was no long delay between tables being served, ensuring everyone enjoyed dinner at the same time. Their bakery was amazing as well. I highly recommend!

Great food and great service. Peppers served not only as our caterer, but as an unofficial wedding planner, picking up the slack as much (or as little) as we let them. Without imposing themselves, the staff at Peppers was always ready to lend a hand. They are both friendly and professional. Their service - and especially that of our own POC, Mike Adams - is without peer.

Peppers is fantastic. Very respectful of budgets as well. The only difficulties arose when our assigned manager for the event had to leave the company for personal reasons, and the new manager missed many details we had worked out laboriously FYI should this happen to anyone, it would be worth your while to insist on a detailed meeting and site visit with the new manager.

Pepper's was extremely flexible since the start of the process. The sales person who dealt with me until the day of my wedding was extremely friendly - however, once I had decided to go with Pepper's, the sales person wasn't as friendly as before. Overall, the quality of service of excellent, the value was the best I could find from the list of approved vendors and quick to my respond to my questions and inquiries. On the day of my wedding, I had not a single glitch - and if there was, I didn't know or notice. I would use them again if I were ever to put on a function like a wedding and now that I am more savvy with event planning.

Jennifer was amazing, not sure if she is still with Peppers though...I loved the menu selection and the overall vibe of our wedding catering....I hear our cocktail hour was amazing, Jennifer re-created an ice tower with shrimp based on a photo that I ripped out of Martha Stewart!Our dinner was pretty late, didn't get served till after 9:30ish which was a drag...overall the food was delicious and the staff was friendly and hard working. They accommodated me when I had special requests and provided our linens, chairs and wedding cakes (which are featured on their website) Unfortunately, Jennifer did not attend the wedding due to a family emergency however the woman that handled everything made sure the evening went smoothly!

Pepper's food was mouth watering and all of our guests raved about the food. The cost for the food was average. Pepper's was great to work with, up until the last two weeks before our wedding. My catering sales manager kept bothering me with questions that we had finalized months before. She told me she didn't take notes at our last meeting and was depending on our 'day of coordinator' to take the notes. I found this extremely annoying! We had some items (i.e. centerpieces, liquor, etc.) to drop off at the caterer, as we had previously discussed they would take these items to our venue and set them in place for us. We made arrangements to drop off the items two days before our wedding. We agreed upon a specific time. The morning we were suppose to drop off the items, enroute to the caterer, we received a nasty phone call from our catering sales manager wondering where we were and telling us we were late. Apparently she got the time wrong but her attitude was unnecessary and uncalled for. We were literally 10 minutes away when she called and she yelled at my husband and told her she wouldn't be there when we arrived. It turned out that particular day was unexpectedly busy for a Thursday and our CSM was in a bad mood about something not related to us. She had not left yet when we arrived so she helped us with the boxes. She then told us they had no room to keep a specific item cold. We had originally wanted to drop off this item the day before the wedding but she was adamant that she would need the item while we were dropping off everything else. We were even more flabbergasted when she told us there was no room in the cooler to keep our item cold. She wasn't even apologetic about the mishap, she was rude.The day of our wedding the caterer was over an hour late arriving to the venue so when they did arrive they were rushed. A couple of our guests, who happen to be close friends, had arrived to tend to some pre-ceremony items I had asked them to take care of. The day of coordinator from Peppers was extremely rude to my guests. She asked who they were and why they were at the venue. I was also told the DoC was overheard by many of our guests making comments such as "I don't care what they want", and "too bad for them". We had serving stations at our wedding. The caterer called certain tables one at a time to get in line. My immediate family (i.e., 2 brothers and my parents) were not given any consideration and were actually called to the line LAST, after all of our guests!Although the food was fabulous and the event looked seamless, the attitude our guests and us received was unnecessary! If you can tolerate the attitude I would recommend hiring Peppers to cater your next event.
