Catering By Christine LLC

The food at our wedding was top of the line. Service from the beginning of the process so the end of the reception was exemplary! Definitely recommend working with Christine, Pete, and their staff!

Catering By Christine is the #1 reason my wedding evolved from a vision to reality. From the very beginning, Pete, Emma, and the rest of their team were so responsive, fielding countless nervous emails and calls from me while always answering my questions and reassuring me that they had everything under control. Emma coordinated the day to perfection and made it run so smoothly, we always had someone attending to us, and I might just trust her with my life! The food was 10/10....the passed appetizers were what dreams are made of, and our guests are still talking about how much they loved all the food. If you're looking for a caterer in the Fairfield County area, you can stop your search now, because it just doesn't get better than Catering By Christine.

We recently got married in August 2023 at Branford House in Groton, CT. Catering by Christine was really difficult to work with throughout the wedding process. It would take weeks and sometimes more than a month to get a response from them via email. We later found that calling was more successful. The tasting was great but again- hard to get in touch with them to confirm the details. As things got closer to the wedding date we struggled again with getting the final balance from them. And 2 weeks before the wedding we were shocked at the balance. The charge for the dessert and the rental costs were a big surprise to us as well. Pete had also added in extra staff costs due to the size of our wedding. We had not realized what these items were going to cost. For example, If I had known that plain white tablecloths were about $22/each to rent (we had over 22 tables) I would have sourced those elsewhere or budgeted differently. For someone who budgeted very closely throughout the process this was an upsetting experience. To make things worse- Pete called us the night before the wedding to ask for some information that was missing. This required 2-3 hours of work for us to do on the night of our rehearsal dinner. It was extremely disappointing. The day of went well for the most part. Pete was professional and the service was great, food was great, presentation was beautiful. We had a large wedding and everyone was happy with their meals. The only issue we had was we ordered sheet cake to be sliced and passed around, and the catering staff couldnt locate the sheet cakes. Im not sure how that could be possible since they went into the fridge upon delivery. Regardless, our guests werent able to have the cake we ordered. Overall lack of communication and disorganization from catering by Christine was the biggest issue from start to finish. If we had known this or that, we would have budgeted differently and made sure to include certain information way in advance. This was our first time getting married and there were a lot of intricacies (and some basics) that we were not aware of. Due to the tears and stress the last few weeks leading up to the wedding caused by catering by Christine I overall would not recommend them.

Catering by Christine catered our wedding in October and we could not have been happier! The food was out of this world and the presentation was perfect. It could be hard to get ahold of Pete at times during the busy season, but do not let that deter you as the food is amazing. Our guests were all complimenting the food all night and for weeks after! The servers and bar staff were all very attentive and professional. I highly recommend using Christine's!

My wife and I got married this past September at the Branford House and the food was incredible. Our taste testing was very fun and we had amazing personal care thanks to Pete and his team. A large portion of our wedding group had gluten intolerances and we were able to find amazingly delicious gluten-free options and to keep everyone happy. The food looked as fantastic as it tasted. Catering by Christine comes highly recommended for an easy and hassle free, and successful catering job. Great job!
