Molly and David catered for our wedding and everyone loved the food! They are an amazing couple, extremely friendly, professional and talented and I would highly recommend them for your wedding. We had about 120 guests and did it buffet style and decided to incorporate both our cultures so they did a mix of Cuban and Indian food which was a big hit. The number 1 compliment we received was about the food and to us that was extremely important. From the first tasting to the day of, Molly and David were awesome to work with. Thank you guys for a great experience!

Food First Events is my go-to catering for all my private events. I have worked with Chef David on several events and he truly goes above and beyond. From the delicious food, service, and presentation, nothing is short from perfection. As an Event Planner, his catering truly elevates the whole event experience and I can’t recommend him enough. From intimate dinner parties to large weddings, Food First Events is truly the best!

Chef David was great to work with and easily addressed all of the dietary restrictions our group had. Dinner was excellent and some of our guests are still talking about the food. I would absolutely work with Farm to Fork Catering again!

Chef David Gussin took a personal and professional interest in making sure that my annual Christmas Luncheon went off without a hitch. He made sure that every detail was attended to, prior to the day of the event. Everything was done to my delight. He and his staff arrived on time and got to work preparing and serving the most delicious meal to my guests. My guests and I were impressed with the quality of food and the professional manner in which it was presented. Food First Event and Catering Company made my Christmas Luncheon a most memorable one for me, for my family and friends. I certainly plan to hire them again.
