Relish Catering and Events — Local services in Ipswich

My wife and I got married at my parents house in West Newbury, MA this past August and we could not have been happier with Kelli and Relish!! We live in Los Angeles so we had to plan everything from across the country. We found Relish on Google and were immediately drawn in by the beautiful pictures of their food and decor. Planning a wedding from across the country is pretty stressful but Kelli is so talented, helpful and reassuring that it made everything much easier. From planning the menu to walking through the space multiple times to plan everything meticulously, Kelli and her staff completely took care of us. We didn't want to have to worry about anything on the day and from beginning to end, Relish had everything covered brilliantly. As soon as the ceremony was over, Relish waitstaff were ready with cocktails and passed hors d'oeuvres. They were all extremely friendly, courteous, professional and completely attentive without being obtrusive to the event. When the reception started, they poured wine and water at every table and I never saw a less than half full glass the whole night. We also had 2 bars for cocktails, beer and wine. Relish organized all that as well and it was perfect. Now, the most important part - THE AMAZING FOOD. Every single person who was at our wedding raved to us about how incredibly beautiful and delicious the food was. Kelli is a very talented chef and helped us plan the menu to our taste but also gave it her own unique, gourmet signature. Everything was perfectly cooked and prepared to look beautiful as it hit the buffets at the perfect temperature and look. And I don't even remember really noticing it happening, but as soon as everyone was done with dinner, the place was spotless and every guest was being handed a glass of champagne for toasts. Again, everything was seamless and perfect. I can't say enough good things about Kelli and Relish. They truly made our wedding day better than we imagined it. We feel so lucky to have found them and would urge everyone to use them for their event. In fact, some people from our wedding were so impressed that the day after our wedding, they hired Relish for their...

My experience with Kelli Petri and Relish Events has been an amazing experience. I have been in the food service industry for more than 25 years in the Boston area. I first met Kelli while working as a food sales rep for a high end meat and specialty distributor in the Boston area. I can attest that her level of quality and integrity in regards to food is unsurpassed in the industry. Upon leaving food sales in 2012 after 15 years, I spent a year traveling with a private client as a personal chef. Once home I contacted Kelli in July of 2014 and have been working closely with her as a freelance chef and kitchen manager. I cannot stress her level of professionalism and talent in what has become a cookie cutter, money making business for most caterers. Kelli cares deeply for the art and craft of catering and treats every client with adoration and the respect they deserve for their event, no matter how big or small, from simple to elegant affairs. I have been blessed to be a part of her team and she has taught me what passion for the culinary arts truly means. Five out of five stars for this talented hard working mother of four amazing human...

A bit delayed, but wanted to shout out Relish for an awesome experience catering my wedding last July 2023. My wife & I had a small wedding in a backyard and looked at tons of catering options in the North Shore area. Relish was by far the best option, communicating quotes and proposed menus to us quickly and offering the most reasonable price option.

Day of, the Head Chef and Lead was absolutely amazing -- so personable, organized, and prepared so everyone felt super comfortable and at ease. The other employees were also really friendly, attentive, and helpful. We asked for a Greek Family Style meal and the presentation was beautiful, with huge gorgeous platters of food coming out to fill up the table. The menu was also awesome -- as my family is Greek I appreciated that they added some really specific traditional Greek dishes instead of the more basic ones you might expect. The gigantes in particular were insanely delicious.

Really impressed with their service and the meal day of and would...
