Peppers Artful Events - Northborough, Massachusetts

We had the pleasure of working with Peppers for our wedding back in August and we cannot say enough wonderful things about them! Our main contact person with Peppers was Diane and she was so sweet and easy to work with. She was always available and responsive to emails. We had many small details that we wanted to incorporate and Diane spent a lot of time making sure that it all came together. For example, we were looking for a specific type of copper flatware for our table settings and Diane found the PERFECT fit. We also had Blackbird Donuts as one of our desserts, our favorite ginger beer shipped from Seattle for our signature drinks, customized ice, and a champagne tower - and Diane coordinated it all SO seamlessly. We had two late night snacks (Boston cannolis and Seattle hot dogs, from the two cities we call home) - and although Peppers had never even heard of a Seattle dog they absolutely NAILED recreating it, it was so so good! All of the food (from the drinks to the apps to the entrees) was so delicious, we got so many compliments on it all! After our wedding, Peppers sent us a congratulatory bottle of wine and a jar of homemade granola. So incredibly sweet. We cannot recommend them enough!!!! They really do put in 110%, not just for the basics but for the all the little details as well.

Peppers was the required catering team for our venue and we could not be more grateful that we got to work with them. We primarily worked with Carolyn who is one of the kindest people we’ve ever met. She so clearly wanted to make sure that our wedding reflected who we are and what our vision was. She offered advice and made suggestions through the whole process. During our tasting, she walked us through all the rentals choices, guided us through timeline development, and her team even answered all our curiosity questions about the produce they grow for themselves. The team created our signage and checked in with us along the way to make sure it came out as we wanted. On the day of the wedding, every single staff member was so kind to us and our guests and made sure everyone was happy and well fed. And most importantly, our guests universally loved the food, which they said was hot, delicious, and better than any food they’d ever had at a wedding! Thank you Carolyn and team for responding to every little email, answering every call, and overall being our guides through the wedding planning process!

We hired Peppers Artful Events to cater our wedding party of 26, and they exceeded every expectation. From day one, Carolyn was communicative, knowledgeable and incredibly easy to work with. She was clear about the available options and pricing breakdowns, which made decision-making a breeze. Carolyn’s and their on site manager, Meagan’s accommodating nature and attention to detail truly stood out on the big day, and the food and desserts were absolutely delicious! We highly recommend Peppers Artful Events for anyone looking for a seamless and enjoyable catering experience.

We used Peppers for our wedding day. The food and the service were absolutely amazing. The best wedding food we've ever had. Our guests were commenting on how seamlessly they were served, never feeling interrupted. We were very happy with how they catered our special day.

I hired Peppers to cater my party based upon recommendations that they did an excellent job with their presentations. The cheese table was as I expected. I realized that it was because I was very specific about what I wanted it to look like. Unfortunately, I did not do the same for the buffet table. I stated to the 3 event manager that I was assigned to my project over a 7 month period that I selected Peppers for their presentation reputation. My theme was Christmas.

I specifically stated no goat cheese on the cheese table and the first bite of cheese I had was goat cheese.

The food was delicious and the guest complimented that they enjoyed everything they had.

My advice is to have pictures of how you want your tables to look, don’t leave it up to the staff.

Utterly perfect. From planning every detail, to ensuring the evening ran smooth as silk (no matter what happened), to some of the most incredible dishes we have ever tasted, Peppers truly does craft artful events. They worked with our venue to make sure we had all the proper permits up to and including day-of changes with staffing restrictions due to changes in COVID guidelines. They took care with every detail planned and plated ensuring our decisions were easy, our dinner was DELICIOUS, and our focus could stay maintained on the greatest day of our lives rather than bogged down in details.

And the planning was just the start because boy did they execute: amazing food and stellar service, neither we nor a single guest wanted for anything all night. In fact, almost every individual guest went out of their way to rave about both the food and service up to and including a custom hot cocoa bar to close out the night. And Peppers worked hard to make sure it happened flawlessly... in the middle of an empty field… in the throes of changing conditions in the wind-down of a global pandemic. The crew were each and all true professionals, undoubtedly dedicated to producing the best possible for us.

Our wedding was a special day, largely made possible by Peppers. We could not be more thankful to or impressed by Susan & John and the whole team for making our downsized wedding feel like the biggest celebration: we literally could not have dreamt up a more perfect day than the one they helped us produce and we will forever remember the day because of how much work they put into it to make it truly special.

We were going to get married at Tower Hill in June 2020, but the pandemic happened. We were worried about getting our deposit back from Peppers since we were going to have a backyard wedding instead on June 11, 2021. After much deliberation, we decided to stick with Peppers for catering/florals/rentals, and OH MY GOD, did we make the right choice. Are they expensive? Yes. Is it worth spending a little extra money to have peace of mind on your big day? 100%. We worked with Jody as our coordinator, Colleen as our onsite coordinator and Lindsey for florals/design. I couldn't recommend a better dynamic trio! Jody eased my mind and gave me so much advice when choosing a new venue. She did a great job of keeping me on track and helping me navigate all of the new changes. Day-of, Colleen CAME THROUGH! She knew every detail, made sure everything was on time, and even sent additional staff to our bar (not Peppers) to lend a hand. Everything went SO WELL and was so incredibly organized. My brother got married the following month in the same backyard and we actually hired Peppers for the bar and the appetizer stations. My family was so impressed by the quality of Peppers' work that we knew it wasn't even an option to have them for my brother's wedding - it was a necessity. And did I mention the food? Our guests couldn't stop talking about it. PLENTY of hors d'oeuvres, striking raw bar, and all plates came out promptly and were delicious AND hot. They set up the coffee and cake station so quietly - all of a sudden this beautiful display appeared out of nowhere. Everyone thought I was crazy for trying to host a high-end, cocktail-attire "backyard" wedding, but Peppers understood my vision and really executed it superbly.

Now I need to take a special moment to talk about Lindsey. After the full-time florist left around COVID, Lindsey jumped in and worked right beside me and Jody to work on my florals. I had wholesale peonies from Nicewicz farm and needed a florist to arrange and add greenery. Lindsey also knew I didn't want a basic tent. With a very short timeline, Lindsey hired a production company for lighting and then hired a florist that would arrange our peonies. All brides know how painful it is to add an additional vendor to communicate with and Lindsey took both of them off my plate!! She explained my vision, gave me design options, and worked with booking. The florist had issues with us using wholesale peonies and [the week before the wedding] said we'd need to cut the flowers on Sunday before a Friday wedding and then sign a contract saying "if they look bad on Friday, it's not his fault." Obviously, that's a hard no. Lindsey recognized it and said "I booked you another florist, don't worry! You can bring the peonies to Peppers on Wednesday, no problem." Guess who the florist was? Lindsey herself. I'm sure she didn't want to tell me because she had disclosed that she's not a professional, but BOY DID SHE FOOL ME AND EVERYONE! I have never seen more beautiful floral arrangements in my life. AND she showed up at noon day-of to help arrange and manage the production company too.

Thank you to all of Peppers Artful Events for making our dreams come true! To all the staff that attended our wedding or my brother's, you were all so incredibly kind and thoughtful. I always had someone right behind me ready to give me another beef wellington bite; it was truly appreciated. I must've eaten more food than any bride in history. I can't wait to hire Peppers for baby showers, anniversaries, birthday parties, and many special events to come.

I can't recommend Peppers catering enough!! They were amazing to work with for our wedding on June 29, 2024 in Boston, MA. Carolyn was fantastic and took care of every single detail. Not only did they help with the logistics of my wedding but the food was perfection! I was getting so many compliments all night long how delicious every single thing was. Every dish was well thought out and not like your typical wedding catering meal. Also, they made sure to stay within our budget and were completely transparent with everything!
If you are looking for a team to help you have the most perfect wedding day ever with the most delicious food ever, Peppers should be your choice!
