My husband and I were married on September 27 and used Catering By Christine. Our experience with them is something that truly made our fairytale a fairytale. Pete and Crissy were so accommodating allowing us to really personalize our menu and our bar options. They really helped facilitate in our planning and coordination for the day of. My husband and I are foodies and we were so impressed with everything! My guests with similar love for food were also raving about the food. The appetizers were so tasty and plentiful! We did a plated dinner and it was quick and professional. Although my husband and I never had to go to the bar because of our personal attendant, our guests were never waiting on a drink. Because of all the work Catering By Christine and team did, my husband and I were really able to enjoy our wedding day!!

I am writing this review as a thank you to both Crissy and Pete for being SO responsive and so understanding with my budget needs for my wedding. Me and my fiance did not end up using the venue we initially planned on, which required a caterer to be hired, but before we ended up making the decision to find another venue, Pete and Crissy were SO accommodating to our needs and budget that we were about to reconsider but we then went over the guest count and so it exceed the venue space limit. You can tell that they really value their clients and prospective clients and will go above and beyond to make your special day as stress free and enjoyable as possible. Thank you both for spending so much time working with me and I have already recommended you to a few friends who are looking for caterers in the area!!!

My husband Brian and I were married recently at Penfield Beach. Catering By Christine went above and beyond for our guests and us, making our day more than a dream. From the initial point of contact they were professional, responsive and reassuring. Our tasting was the exact of what was served to all 140 of our guests. Guests are still raving about the food, bar and service. Emma our point of contact for the day really took our vision and made it happen. Her constant smile, calm composure and reassurance allowed Brian and I to fully enjoy our day and our guests. Her gentile reminders to eat and drink were so necessary as the nerves and excitement took over our minds. The appetizers were amazing and fun, something my guests were so impressed by. For dinner we chose to do a dual plate of filet and salmon and it was a total success. It was served within 15 minutes allowing more time for dancing. I highly recommend Catering By Christine for your big day; you won’t regret it!!!!

Pete is wonderful to work with! His staff handled all of the decorating and arranging at Candlelight Farms. The food is unbelievably delicious - we received so many compliments of the presentation of the hors d’oeuvres and how delicious the meal was! Buffet style is the way to go! The mashed potatoes served in martini glasses were a huge hit! I cannot thank Pete and his waitstaff enough, Adriana (mine and my hubby’s personal server) was so attentive and made sure we were fed and hydrated! Thank you, thank you!! Highly recommended - you will not be disappointed!!

Before you decide on your wedding date, check the availability of Catering by Christine, because you definitely want them to cater your wedding. Beyond having absolutely amazing food, they are also crucial to helping you plan and organize your day. We worked specifically with Pete, who helped orchestrate the entire day for us. Before the wedding, Pete and the Catering by Christine team gave us a spectacular tasting to help us plan our menu at a time that fit in our crazy schedule. We were blown away by the amount and quality of appetizers we were able to provide to our guests, and the entire team was willing to work with us to create custom dishes, even if they hadn’t done them before. Our venue (Branford House in CT) required us to bring in rentals, which Pete seamlessly facilitated on our behalf. His experience working at that venue numerous times before truly showed on the day itself. Pete personally helped set up the ceremony and reception space, and he ensured that our reception... Read more was exactly what we wanted. And this was all before the amazing food came out. Our assigned personal attendant, Emma, was a positive fixture of the day. She made sure that we, our wedding party, and our family had everything we could want. Our entire wedding party has commented on how enthusiastic and accommodating Emma was to us throughout the event. The Catering by Christine team’s experience and professionalism was clear, as they made the day run as efficiently and smoothly as could be. We never expected that our cater could fulfill so many crucial roles for us that day, and we never had to worry about any details on the day itself. Many of our guests, weeks after the wedding, have continued to reach out to us and said that their meals was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding. We sincerely hope to go to an event catered by them again! Choose Catering by Christine to have phenomenal food, experienced service, and peace of mind in your wedding planning process and especially on your big day!

Thank you Catering By Christine for everything!!! You made Matt and I's day beyond anything I could have imagined. Your professionalism, your suggestions, and your organization made the planning process so easy. Beyond the logistics of all you do (which you make look so easy!!!) the food and service was beyond our expectations. All our guests have been raving about the food, presentation, and the friendliness of all the staff. Having an attendant for the day was something I didn't know would be so wonderful. She was there to calm down my nerves before the ceremony, to greet us after with plenty of food and drinks for our entire wedding party was amazing. Thank you for a perfect seamless day for Matt, myself and every single guest!!!

This past weekend Catering By Christine catered our wedding. In the beginning of the planning process we were overwhelmed with the to do list regarding our backyard wedding. That was until Catering By Christine stepped in. They answered questions we didn’t even know we had and put us at ease with everything. Their professionalism regarding the details was out of this world. The food at our tasting was exactly what was served to every single guest at our 180 person wedding. Besides the presentation being picture worthy, the taste and quality was even better. I cannot say enough about how easy they made this day for us and how they greeted every single guest with a smile and care. Guests have made it very clear how much they enjoyed the food, service, and our special day. We cannot speak highly enough of Catering By Christine!!! Thank you Pete and team!

I loved catering by Christine! The staff were so friendly and very professional. I knew one of the staff members prior to the wedding being held and she was such a great person to work with on this special occasion. I highly recommend them.

We received so many compliments on the food at our wedding thanks to Catering by Christine! Everything was fantastic, and Chrissy made sure my husband and I got a chance to eat plenty on our wedding day. Chrissy was on top of all the details we didn’t want to have to worry about- from the start of the ceremony to the end of the reception, she made sure everything went smoothly.

Catering by Christine was amazing at accommodating our request when our first caterer fell through. The staff and food were amazing and we wish we had found them earlier. Our guests cannot stop raving about the food and the service. We cannot recommend them enough. We cannot wait to experience their food and service again at our friends wedding next year.

Our wedding was July 14th 2018 and Catering by Christine truly made it a wonderful experience. Not only was the food absolutely phenomenal but the servers were all wonderful! They were great with the guests, looked very professional and our personal attendant took very good care of my husband and I. Our main contact throughout the process was Pete, Christine’s husband, and he was usually very prompt with replies (better with phone than email). He was extremely helpful and really helped bring our dream wedding to fruition. Just wait until you try the food!!!

Stole $8000.00 We hired Catering by Christine to cater our wedding of about 150 people on May 9, 2020. At that time weddings of that size were not allowed by the state so we postponed till September 20, 2020. We paid our deposit to hold the original date then also gave an extra payment once we moved the wedding to September. Come September the state was only allowing small outdoor weddings and we couldn’t use our venue at Penfield Pavillion in Fairfield. So when Catering by Christine gave us a price of almost $12,000.00 for the backyard wedding we realized we won’t be able to afford them twice. Pete Biondi and I agreed that a later date the following year is fine. Fast forward to January we realized we don’t have the money for another party so we called to get a refund. Catering by Christine and Pete Biondi did not immediately respond to our calls. Once Pete finally did pick up he said “nobody got a refund from me, nobody canceled”. I explained not being able to do a ... Read morebig celebration because of the money and we found out my wife was pregnant. Pete responded with “I DID NOT CREATE THE VIRUS”. So now they stole our deposit and our extra payment and will not give any of it back and won’t respond to and text messages, emails or hand written letters. Don’t use this company. They took complete advantage of the pandemic, and they took advantage of my wife and I.

Pete was absolutely wonderful to work with. Everyone raved and raved about our wedding food! I have heard often "I never have left a wedding feeling so satisfied". They knocked it out of the park with everything from service, presentation, and of course taste. Having changed our wedding date 4 different times, Pete was incredibly flexible and accommodating!! I will be recommending him to all my friends getting married.

We had a vegan menu for our wedding at my husband’s parents’ house and Catering by Christine did a great job putting together a complicated menu with many options that were not part of their normal catering lineup. Our guests loved the food and we got many compliments during and in the weeks following our wedding about how tasty all the food was and how great it was to not have the normal wedding meal of dry chicken and beef. The four entrée choices were delicious. The sides and appetizers were amazing and I think they were the best part of the menu. Pete allowed us to do two menu tastings with no extra charge to make sure we had the menu right. For the day-of, Emma was amazing. I cannot say enough positive things about her. She was attentive, took charge of the ceremony timing, made sure my husband and I always had whatever food or drink we wanted, and was just overall really nice and fun to be around. The Catering by Christine team set-up all the tables, linen, bar, place settin... Read moreg, etc. so we basically did not need to worry about anything happening under the tent. Since it was a large backyard wedding, they basically filled in and took care of everything that needed to be done, even if it was not explicitly their job. The only difficult part of working with Catering by Christine is that Pete is slow to respond over email since he is very busy. I recommend calling and texting him to get a quicker response. But since there is a lot that goes into wedding catering, sometimes the only way to communicate what you want is over email (so that it is documented and you can refer back to it). So I learned to just email Pete and follow-up with a text or call to make sure he received my email.
