Hostess catering was amazing, made my event operate seamlessly. Felix lead the team and was methodical assuring the day to be a success for all the guests. The food was great couldn’t be more pleased with outcome. Visnja was very responsive and thorough with the coordinating of headcount, food order, and selection process of food,staff, and tableware. The only one complaint from guests was that the food wasn't kept warm at the buffet stations, a minor complaint but i like to issue an honest review. I will 100% use/recommend hostess catering for future events. Well done!

Hostess catering exceeded all my expectations! Visnja and her team were a big part of my daughters wedding being a great success. They took care of everything including hosting in 2 locations. The food was delicious, the presentation fantastic. Everyone in the team was very pleasant and professional (apologies for not remembering everyone’s name).
Imagine this for last minute change: We had plan for a platted salad with a buffet dinner and while we were having the salad course, I asked if we can have the dinner platter as well. The team is so unbelievable we were getting served within minutes!!! At the end of the day the house was spotless. Hostess catering will certainly be a part of any future celebration we have.
Thank you for everything!

Hostess Catering did an amazing job for our party! The team was very easy to work with from discussing the menu to delivery. The food was just delicious - I had multiple people come up and ask me who did the food and shared how much they enjoyed it. Tina and her team did an excellent job putting together a seasonal menu within our budget. Delivery was a breeze - the team was right in time, efficient setting up and very friendly. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Hostess Catering!

These women are incredible! The event was challenging as it needed to be coordinated with a two musical acts and a Mystery Dinner Theater. Not only did they plan a FANTASTIC menu, accommodating my guests from across the globe (Singapore to the Netherlands); they also created an atmosphere that melded seamlessly with the event, right down to a selection of wonderful cocktails that embraced the theme of the evening. I am still getting e-mails from my global colleagues on how smashing (yes, UK was represented, too) the event was. They also delivered an exquisite luncheon, accommodating all the needs of my guests. They use nothing but the best ingredients and it shows in the quality and flavor of their signature dishes. Not only do I highly recommend these ladies, I plan to use them for personal and professional events in the future, one being my wedding. If you meet with them, and your head says 'hire them' - HIRE THEM! You will not be disappointed and you will have your go to caterer. Thank you Visnja and Donna!
Most Sincerely,

Hostess Catering made our Division Holiday party so spectacular. The food was amazing, and I really appreciated the effort they put into helping us customize the menu. At the event itself, all staff were extremely professional, friendly and efficient. Everyone was raving about how much they liked the set-up and food, and the hosts (who held the event at their home in Brookline), said it was the least stressful event they'd ever been a part of. Our ONLY complaint is that, although we stressed that we had a few lactose-intolerant guests, the rice pilaf had butter in it, which we think could have been avoided and allowed for more options for the few who couldn't eat milk products. Otherwise, GREAT EVENT. Thanks ladies!
