We chose Portland Catering Company because they were one of the recommended caterers for our venue, and their pricing was reasonable compared to other full-service options in the area. We went with a buffet dinner, hors d'oeuvres during cocktail hour, and their bartending service. The food was absolutely incredible! Our guests are still raving about the bruschetta from cocktail hour, and the pesto tortellini with sun-dried tomatoes was such a standout that we actually paid extra to have it added to our menu. The food was flavorful, satisfying, and beautifully presented. It was truly one of the culinary highlights of the day. That said, our experience leading up to the wedding had some challenges. Communication was spotty from the beginning. When we booked our tasting, we were given the time but not the location, and no one followed up with an address. We had to track it down ourselves. I also observe kosher dietary laws and let them know this ahead of time, but we were served a dish at the tasting that included bacon. When I brought it up, the general manager (Katie K.) initially claimed she didn’t have that information on file. Only after some back-and-forth did she find the note confirming that it had been communicated in writing. There were also some moments that felt a little dismissive or uneven. My husband consistently received faster responses than I did, which didn’t go unnoticed. Katie scheduled a venue walk-through with us and our coordinator, and unfortunately never showed up. We never received any notice or apology. It seemed like we were simply forgotten. Despite those issues, the day-of execution was smooth. The catering staff was on time, kind, and very accommodating. They helped create a lovely atmosphere, and the dinner and drinks were a big hit. Unfortunately, one of our selected hors d’oeuvres was never served, which was a huge disappointment given how much effort we put into planning every detail of the menu. Overall, I would recommend Portland Catering Company for the food. The dishes were truly excellent, and the guests had nothing but praise. But I would also recommend that other couples go in with eyes open: follow up frequently, double-confirm everything in writing, and advocate for yourselves during the planning process. It may not be the smoothest vendor experience, but the end result on the plate really did deliver.

Choosing a caterer for a wedding can be quite the cumbersome experience. Working with Katie at Portland Catering Company made this so much easier. She presented us with options to start and helped us make choices to stay within our budget. She responded quickly and professionally to our many questions. The day of the wedding, not only did they serve great appetizers and dinner, the staff were also professional, friendly, and efficient. PCC truly helped us create a magical night.

It was exactly what we were hoping for, and the service was smooth and professional from start to finish.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five stars all the way! Portland Catering Company exceeded every expectation and then some. The food was absolutely outstanding — fresh, flavorful, beautifully presented, and truly memorable. I’ve attended a lot of catered events, and this was without a doubt top-tier in both taste and quality. The team was incredibly professional, arriving fully prepared and executing the entire day with precision and grace. Everything flowed smoothly from setup to service, and the cleanup was seamless — we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the food, and we couldn’t be more impressed with the service. Portland Catering Company truly elevated our event, and we would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for exceptional catering.

Todd was excellent on the day! Had everything set out timely, helped guests with their dietary restrictions, and was a pleasure to work with. We had 150 guests and all were happily fed throughout the day with the menu we worked up with Katie. The charcuterie board was brilliant!
