I want to give 5 stars, because the day of was FIVE FREAKING STARS (actually, more like 10!). But I had a lot of communication issues once we booked them. I had to reach out multiple times to get a response every time I had a question or needed an answer for the venue. I know this year was weeeeeeird with weddings - like double to triple the weddings - and that's a lot for a vendor.
So I forgave that. But I didn't want to not point it out. It was the ONLY "frustrating" thing about our experience. SOOOO.let's skip to the GREAT parts! 1) The tasting was amazing! So helpful and we got to try so many options! It was during the height of covid last year, so we were nervous but it ended up being great and we booked them on the spot lol. 2) THE DAY OF. OMG. THERE WILL BE NO BETTER FOOD VENDOR FOR YOUR WEDDING DAY! Seriously.
I say this without any sarcasm. They were soooo professional, the space was beautiful, the food was remarkable, the service was over the top and timely. While we were taking family photos after the ceremony, I was literally saying to a bridesmaid to go grab my husband and I some of the hors d'oeuvres when one of the Village Pantry ladies APPEARED BY MY SIDE with a TRAY OF FOOD!
It was magical and I called her Angel (I forget her real name but I told her I was calling her Angel all night and I did!). They carried our plates to the table for us at dinner, made sure drinks were available so we didn't have to get up while eating, and refilled for us. Just freaking OUTSTANDING. And we're still wondering how those grilled veggies were the best grilled veggies we've ever had - like, they tasted like someone just took them off the grill?! HOW!? Insane.
All of it. So good. Seriously. 3) It has been almost 3 weeks. People are still messaging me about how good the food was. LOL! So, while communication was a little spotty, it didn't change the fact that we're clearly raving lol. And we'd hire them again and again! Thanks for helping our day be so special and doing what you do!

5/5 Stars! My husband and I got married recently in October and we were highly impressed with the gracious and friendly staff. The food was delicious. We have received non stop rave reviews about the chicken picata, short ribs, the appetizers, salad and all of it in fact. I highly recommend them for your wedding event or any event for that matter. They were delightful and the food was outstanding!

Jill and her team at the Village Pantry were such a pleasure to work with! They catered a sit down dinner and cocktail hour for our 80+ person wedding and did a fantastic job! They even accommodated our request for an all vegetarian meal selection. Both the food and service were phenomenal and our guests were raving afterwards. During cocktail hour, we were doing family photos, but the staff went out of their way to make sure we still got to have some of the appetizers.
They went above and beyond and were truly all so pleasant! We highly recommend them for your catering needs. Also, if you have the opportunity to add the mini stuffed potatoes to your menu, we definitely recommend doing so!

Village Pantry catered my daughter's wedding reception at our home on Saturday September 25. Jill and her team were incredible in their attentiveness, professionalism and attention to detail. We had an issue with bees at one of our bar stations, and they flawlessly handled the situation. The food was delicious and plentiful, and everything was set up and cleaned up perfectly. They even cleaned off our own trays that we had used for our cocktail hour food. I'd highly recommend them for any event.

Village Pantry catered my wedding and they were amazing! They were flexible with all of my many reschedules due to COVID and were accommodating to my dietary restrictions. Not to mention all of the food was delicious! All of the staff were professional, friendly, and helped make the night run smoothly! I would highly recommend them.

Jill from VPC was amazing to work with! She answered my millions of questions I had throughout the months prior to my wedding! Even though she couldn't make it to my wedding, her sister was the captain on site, everything was amazing. The staff were all so polite and kind. The food was delicious. We had hand carved pork and beef tenderloin, mashed potatoes, green beans, salad!
Everything was clean and professional! The only thing that changed due to covid was that out buffet had to be served by their staff, but I actually thought that was better! Highly recommend!

Wow, village pantry is outstanding. We always have a remarkable experience with Jill and her team. From the initial booking to the clean up, the customer service is top notch. Best of all is the food. Jill continues to work with us to develop creative, seasonal menus that wow our guests. We will continue to use Jill several times a year and can't wait to see what she comes up with next!
