We have not stopped receiving compliments about the food from our Saturday wedding and our Sunday brunch. Multiple people told us that Laura’s salmon was the best they have ever had at such an event (or even compared to the best restaurants)! The chicken! The fruit salad with lemon curd! The cardamom buns and donuts! Laura and the entire Blue Door Gatherings team completely knocked it out of the park with their food offerings, attentive service, and professionalism, and we could not be more thankful that we chose to work with Laura and her team for our wedding weekend. They were also very flexible in meeting our requests and suggestions, but elevated them without being asked (e.g., the bloody marys came with incredible garnishes). Throughout our events, each dish was delicious, thoughtful about dietary restrictions (in addition to a dairy-free Groom, we had a fair number of guests who were vegan, celiac, or some combination), and everyone was fed well and fully. We also had a raw bar for our cocktail hour that Laura arranged with Berkshore, and they were some of the freshest, most delicious oysters and shrimp any of us have ever had. No small feat given a sizable event on a warm day. We’re so grateful that we can continue to eat Laura’s food at The Window or at some of the events and special dinners that Blue Door puts on throughout the year. If you care about the food at your wedding (or any event you might be planning) being delicious and memorable, then hire Laura and the Blue Door team. You’ll be so thankful you did.

Laura and her team catered our wedding in June 2022 and absolutely blew our minds. Everything was INCREDIBLE. Multiple guests came up to us to tell us it was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding (they were not lying). Moreover, a few remarked "this is the best sandwich I've ever eaten" (wedding or otherwise). They too, were not lying. We were committed to having locally sourced food and beverages at the wedding, and Laura's philosophy exceeded everything we could have hoped for in that regard. Everything was fresh, ingredients were thoughtful and seasonal, and the amount of intention and care that went into each dish was astounding. Laura's attention to detail and warmth throughout the planning process made it an absolute breeze for us, and her team sprung into action in a truly incredible way when unexpected rain appeared. We cannot recommend her and her team enough.

Laura and Blue Door Gatherings were such a pleasure to work with. She has such a vision for display and plating its really amazing. She created the world's most beautiful magical cheese table display. The lobster rolls were no joke some of the best I've ever had and I live in Maine! We loved having the food family style and the displayed desserts. Made it feel like a dinner party. She uses so many high quality, seasonal, local ingredients. Laura was thinking about our menu over half a year in advance which just made us feel so special. She is so creative and I would hire her over and over again if I could! She also catered my brother's wedding a few years back. Thank you Laura and your amazing team!!

This is the best lunch in western MA and I've tried it all. I am blown away by how good the sandwiches and desserts are, with amazing options for vegetarians. I had an eggplant sandwich that was to die for. It was big, so I got multiple servings out of it. The focacia bread the sandwiches are on are 10/10. Parsnip cake: I was skeptical but it was maybe the best thing I've ever eaten. Also had the most refreshing drink, lemonade with lavender. The lady at the window was so nice too and online ordering made everything a cinch. Picnic tables are outside. We are so lucky to have this place in Holyoke. It's better even than anything you'd find in a big city.

Giant slice of focaccia pizza with artichoke hearts, burrata and arugula pesto. My guy said it’s legit THE BEST pizza he’s ever had in his life, and he’s been around. I feel so lucky to have a gem like this in my backyard. I also ordered the pistachio rose shortbread, rhubarb galette, and lemon strawberry tart, and they were ALL mind blowing. Thank you Bluedoor!

I love their kale salads, antioxidant fruit bowls and speck sandwiches. If you love avocados their green goddess sandwich is perfect for a light and healthy feeling meal. It is the best paired with salty cape cod potato chips. They can be a little pricey but their food is lovely quality and a nice treat for an extra long work day.
