Testimonials
Our clients love our food! Don't take our word for it- below is a sampling of reviews.
Katy and Matt B. - Boston, MA
"We could not be more thrilled with Forkift--they did a phenomenal job catering our wedding on 10.10.10! Every single item was outstanding (loved the tomato-soup shots and grilled-cheese bites and mini ice-cream cones!). Dennis and Jamie were accommodating, thoughtful, and creative. We truly enjoyed our experience with Forklift and highly recommend their catering services."
Katie C. - Boston, MA
"I recently hired Forklift Catering to cater a work event for 130 people. Not only was the food fantastic, Jamie and Dennis were great to work with. They were accomodating and very gracious. We were on a tight budget and they were able to work with us and help us create a great dinner for our attendees. I was impressed with their ability to make a large amount of food and have it still taste like it was made per plate.. multiple people complimented the food, which does not happen at many events like this! I really enjoyed working with them and would hire them again, in a heartbeat, for a large event or smaller dinner party..."
David G. - Somerville, MA
"We would recommend Forklift to anyone.
They pulled off a wonderful 100-guest Wedding Reception Buffet in a challenging venue which lacked a proper kitchen. Rave reviews by our guests on the food and service. Dennis and Jamie are a delight to work with."
Lili B. - Tewksbury, MA
"I tried Forklift catering for the first time to celebrate my mother's 60th birthday and the arrival of some family members from abroad. My cousin's husband, present at the dinner, owns a restaurant in Caracas and he, like the rest of us, was impressed with the food presented by Dennis and Jamie from Forklift Catering. We had three hors d'oeuvres which were plentiful and delicious (particularly the risotto balls!), a delicious salad and a halibut entree which was not only beautifully presented but also full of a variety of flavors which were exquisite. An added point is that I called Dennis with less than one week to plan and he was helpful in getting a menu coordinated and worked easily within the limited time frame. Overall the event was a success - we were able to enjoy the food and each other's company given that the food, service and clean up were all taken care of perfectly by Forklift."
Benjamin W. - Cambridge, MA
"We hired Forklift for our 50-guest wedding, held at the Commander's Mansion, in July 2010. From the outset, they were the only caterer who had a menu that looked interesting and was something different than the bored and stale ideas that other caterers post on their websites or offer by email. My husband is a chef and was very particular about what he wanted, and Forkleft more than delivered. Jamie and Dennis helped my husband put together a menu that we were excited about. They never balked at special requests, and were excited to try dishes they hadn't done before. Our tasting was a joy, and they attended to every detail of our reception that we would never have thought of. Then during the reception, the servers and managers were more professional than most restaurant staffs.
If you are planning a wedding in the Boston area, Forklift is the ONLY wise choice for those who want delicious food, professional service, and reasonable prices."
Susan V. - Edgartown, MA
"I have hired Forklift Caterers to cater several dinner parties for me at our summer home in Martha's Vineyard..Dennis and Jamie searched the Island for the freshest organic ingredients and created a dinner fit for a king. The food was delicious, fresh and healthy with a gourmet level of excellence. They were fun and easy to work with. What ever I wanted they were willing to do. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Forklift for any occasion."
Greta H., Kingston, MA
"Several weeks later our friends are still commenting on how good the food was!"
Andrea C. Newton, MA
"The food was great and the set up was perfect. The only thing that didn’t cooperate was the weather! I won’t hesitate to call you again for personal or business."
Patti H., Abington, MA
"I would recommend them for a special occasion or for any time that you want to have a leisurely dinner that shouts 'special'... If your looking for incredible... use Forklift catering.. I guarantee you won't be disappointed..."
Carolyn C. Brookline, MA
"It was a pleasure! Everyone raved about the food, the service and everything else! Of course, I’m thrilled that our guests were so happy and we were delighted, too. You made it a day that (my family and I) all were able to relax and enjoy!
Thanks again and I am sure that you will be hearing from us."
Allison K., Brunswick, ME
"We didn't choose from a list of pre-set options, we told them what kind of food our parents enjoyed and they worked to prepare somethng specific for our event.
Both the food and presentation were outstanding! Everything was beautifully plated, and the flavors were truly amazing."
Tobi G. Boston, MA
"I can't thank you enough. The food was fabulous, your set-up worked so well and the staff did a beautiful job serving. All of the food tasted so garden fresh and the flavor combinations were amazing. I never realized how boring my food was until Tuesday night.
Have to tell you, almost everyone I spoke with mentioned the wonderful food. Next time we're grabbing your business cards and placing them on the table so we can promote you.
Forklift's presence elevated the event from a mundane awards ceremony to a very elegant affair. Who knew this could happen in a working architectural shop. The keynote speaker even mentioned the terrific caterer in her remarks. What a huge compliment to all of you.
Thank you so much - and I look forward to doing it again, next year."
Lucy B. Sharon, MA
"What a memorable evening! From the medjool date appetizer to the french apple tart, the meal was perfection! It was a thoroughly happy event. Hurrah to Forklift Catering."
Elsa A., Boston, MA
"Our guests raved about the food (even the not-to-be-named famous food critic who never eats anything was wowed by the salad that he ate). No glitches, fabulous food, great service... the works!"
Kathy E. Dedham, MA
"Thank you for catering the graduation party. Everyone enjoyed the food. It all looked beautiful."
Dawn C., Westwood, MA
"No detail was overlooked and they made life easy for us that day. Very grateful to them for helping us celebrate such an important event for us amongst family and friends - abound with foodies."
Jenna M. Jamaica Plain, MA
"Thank you for everything! The weekend was magical..."
Meizhu L., Suffolk, MA
"Their care in helping us plan the menu from their extensive choices, their flexibility in terms of what they would do and what we would provide (like we bought the wine for the Sangria), and their effort to just make it as easy as possible for us was great."
