"I could not say enough amazing things about Maura and Critic’s Choice Catering. I reached out to them when I was planning my Dad‘s celebration of life and they made the process so incredibly easy for someone who didn’t have a lot of experience planning these types of events. Their attention to detail is unbelievable and the food was incredible - everybody was talking about it. I wish I had more opportunities to throw parties just so I could hire them again. Thank you so much!"

"Critics Choice Catering is absolutely incredible! They catered our wedding and our guests are still raving about the delicious food and the attentive, professional staff. From the very first planning meeting to the big day itself, Kaycie and her team went above and beyond. They guided us through every step, offered thoughtful suggestions, and made the entire process stress-free. The presentation was beautiful, the service seamless, and every dish was outstanding. We cannot recommend Critics Choice highly enough. If you’re looking for a caterer who delivers both amazing food and exceptional service, Critics Choice is the one!"
