We really…read moreappreciated everything the whole staff did to help keep things running smoothly at every step, from early planning advice to helping us pack up after the event. Forklift created a 100% vegan menu for us, and the food was DELICIOUS and so BEAUTIFUL! We were really blown away, and got many compliments from guests. We felt like it really demonstrated that you can have a 100% plant-based menu at an event and have it be crowd-pleasing. Thank you for everything, Forklift! We'd love to work with you again.

My team contracted Forklift Catering for a high-profile Harvard event early this year. Forklift's…read moreprofessional sales and event management team were incredible partners in the development and execution of a spectacular event every step of the way. They were always available to address any question or concern and were so adaptable to every plan change (down to just days before the event). They even functioned as our florist and arranged breathtaking floral displays to enhance the ambience. 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.

I would absolutely recommend them, and we would absolutely use them again. WONDERFUL experience.

Wedding Caterer Review: Seasons Catering, Hyde Park, MA…read moreWell, I had my final caterer tasting yesterday at my September wedding venue The Milton Club. Seasons Catering was wonderful and now my wedding caterer! Sheila Sullivan, the owner and chef is so nice and accommodating since we first spoke a few weeks ago. I created a wedding food idea pinterest board which she followed and even created a few appetizer ideas that I had pinned! She set a lovely table, and we had her assistant Mark served us and he was just so pleasant! She also makes her own desserts!!! See pictures below of what we had for our tasting and definitely consider her for your next event. She also does corporate catering! Also, a wonderful "shout out" to my fantastic florist who did a mock up of what our centerpieces will look like Almquist Flowerland in Quincy!

Thank you for a wonderful experience!

When my husband and I first decided to find a personal chef we thought "maybe this will help, we…read morecan't keep eating out, it's killing us." Neither of us really knew what a personal chef service looked like. We love cooking but we didn't/don't have time during the week to cook. We hoped we'd get more vegetables into our diet at a minimum. That not eating out would mean less of the white devils (sugar, salt). I reached out to The Skinny Beet in a frenetic and desperate state last December. Since they've entered our lives the sun is shining, the clouds have parted and Mondays are happy (re: they are miracle workers). We have been a weekly client with The Skinny Beet for almost 3 months now. At the end of 1 month we reached out to them and shared a list of each positive benefit directly or indirectly related to hiring them as personal chefs. I would like to share this list with you (reader of my review): 1. My husband and I spend more time together. 2. We portion control better. 3. We work out more (have time to work out). 4. We feel better: less groggy, less irritable, more energy. 5. The food they make tastes flavorful, wholesome and satisfying. We get to eat our favorite cuisines with less of the sugar/salt and more grain/vegetable variety than what we know how to cook. 6. We waste less. 7. The brain space we wasted thinking about what to eat, what to cook, when to go pick things up, crap-I-forgot-an-ingredient --- Poof! Gone. Which, working full time while part time grad school, any and all brain space I can allocate to my work is priceless for me. From Week One: Flexibility with schedule and menu planning was made easy for us - We come home and our kitchen tools and pans lovingly (and somewhat expensively) acquired over time are clean - There are delicious dishes made with quality ingredients ready for devouring in the fridge. We are so grateful for the difference The Skinny Beet has made in our quality of life. Seriously, I wasn't kidding: Miracle Workers.

Well in just a couple hours we were able to cover SO much ground. From making a delicious salsa and homemade chips, to a steak and a chicken, even farro with caramelized onions. Not only did I learn tons of REALLY helpful skills that I've already been implementing, but I had delicious food that lasted me for a handful of meals THAT I HELPED MAKE! They brought all their own ingredients and left my kitchen completely spotless (possibly cleaner than how they found it) I am so thankful to these two and I look forward to our next lessons.

The Catered Affair was THE CHOICE for our wedding day! Food is so important to us, so at the time…read moreof the tasting we were nervous (our one and only wedding day how could we not be?!). Upon arrival to their main office, we had an "almost newlyweds" spot reserved right out front. Dish after dish that came out for us to try was so good, it was hard to choose what to not include - we loved it all! TCA was open to our feedback, and customized one of their dishes to exactly what our vision was. They also went off menu, offering pirogies to speak to my polish heritage. A month before the wedding we did a walkthrough with all vendor teams at my venue. Their expertise & professionalism shined. The TCA team asked questions that I never even would have ever thought of, and all the while further strengthening our trust and decision in them. Come wedding day, all we can say is WOW. The food was most spectacular, even better than the tasting! Each piece from the passed bite, to the charcuterie, to the plated dishes and the hand made desserts, they were each a true work of art. It was all beautiful and so tasty. Our guests are still raving about it! The open faced tenderloin gave us a bit of nerves in how it would come out temperature wise - IT WAS PERFECT. Our only regret - we didn't need to rent those steak knives, it cut like butter! You cannot go wrong in enlisting the TCA team on your event journey. They are THE BEST and should you choose, you will be so grateful that you hired them! THANK YOU TCA Team, we will never forget this. :) Photos by Lovely Valentine Photography
