111 Maine

up at our 111 Maine tasting. We otherwise had an excellent experience with 111 Maine - 5/5 stars for the main courses (we picked the small plates option so our guests could try all three options- beef tenderloin with bacon and gruyere potatoes, seafood cioppino, and handmade spinach ravioli, all AMAZING). We did have some concerns from guests that due to unequal sized plating, some of the entrees ran out before everyone could sample it, which contributed to a star being knocked off the rating. Our appetizers (lobster rolls, crab cakes) on wedding day were also decidedly not as good as the ones served at our tasting (the crab cake was too salty and the lobster roll was fairly plain), but they were still enjoyable. Regardless, even more than a month out, continues to rave about the main courses. My dad even bought his own beef tenderloins a month later in an attempt to recreate the dish. You cannot go wrong picking that one! They also make delicious late night fries, which were a treat for our guests. They did a great job following my cocktail recipe for my signature, and overall are seasoned pros in general who are a solid choice for any wedding in the area.

the food. They have a wide variety of options and will help to create the perfect custom menu for your event! From the butternut squash soup shooters and fancy pigs in a blanket at cocktail hour to a delicious fall-inspired family style dinner to the cake, whoopie pies, and cider donuts for dessert, we truly could not have asked for anything better!

g, 111 Maine was so helpful, and they made an incredible tasting for us to choose our dishes prior to the wedding. We had a farm venue, so everything had to be brought in, but 111 Maine didn’t miss a beat and made a spectacular night of food and drinks! During late night dancing, waiters brought espresso martinis and the most popular light beer of the night to people on the dance floor to ensure that the party didn’t have to stop for ordering drinks. We were so so happy with 111 Maine.

ith our wedding food! Between the tasting and our wedding day, everything was absolutely delicious. We felt like we had a full say in our wedding menu and were even able to come up with a few custom items that Jennifer and Ian so generously agreed to. Our wedding became a bit chaotic due to an extreme downpour just before the start of our wedding ceremony. We found out over a year later that the power supply had actually gone out briefly - probably making it even more chaotic! You wouldn’t have known it with this team. Additionally, one of our guests needed medical help during dinner hour. Ian immediately jumped up to help by calling 911 and assisting. The 111 Maine team was outstanding - they truly went above and beyond to make our day amazing; Things like shuffling around bars because of the rain after set-up, rushing to pull down all of the sides of the wedding tent so that table cloths and chairs didn’t become wet, and I’m sure so much more that we never knew about. They’re flexible, kind, genuine people. I can’t say enough great things about the entire team!

ey accommodated all of our requests and were so fun to work with. They asked us some of our favorite foods and completely cultivated an amazing menu based on that. Our desserts were a random assortment of our favorites - baklava, tiramisu, cookies and milk - and people were absolutely wowed. Not only was the menu perfection, the food was sensational! Every single person at our wedding commented on a different food item being their favorite. It seriously made our wedding stand out. If you are considering a caterer who is fantastic, responsive, reasonable, delicious, unique, and memorable, 111 Maine is 100% the one. Absolutely so happy we used them for our wedding.

rs like chicken and waffles and mini lobster rolls, and they were most definitely the right people to deliver. We received rave reviews from our guests. Hire them!

nd dairy free and wanted to eat on our wedding day. 111 Maine catered to our dietary needs and you wouldn't know that the recipes were altered to accommodate! The food, the presentation, the staff - top notch and the best we've ever seen. We received endless compliments on our appetizers, food and drinks, still! When people are still talking about the food at your wedding, you know you picked an amazing caterer. I'd book them one thousand times again and would recommend them to everyone!

the whole 111 Maine staff went above and beyond to truly captured our foodie hearts and made our dream wedding complete. From the appetizers, to the main courses, to the deserts and the drinks everything was absolutely spectacular and delicious. We still have our guests that are raving about the food, especially the raviolis. We are so thankful to have hired such an amazing catering company and will forever be grateful that the team was able to take our day and make it even better than we could ever imagine.

n was out of this world good. All of our guests raved about it. Jennifer even put together a GIANT whoopie pie as a special treat for my friend’s birthday. Our venue (bear mountain inn + barn) also had great things to say about their experience working with 111 Maine. If you’re looking for a professional caterer who is flexible, easy to work with, and will make your tastebuds very happy - don’t hesitate!

g. Our guests raved about the food, and every other vendor we told we were working with 111 Maine said "Oh, we have no more questions. They'll have it all under control!". Check out 111 Maine for incredible food and outstanding service.

experience!

for another meal from 111 Maine the night after our wedding. Thank you so much 111 Maine!

a taste of seasonal mid-coast Maine to our diverse group of guests. We couldn't have been happier with the result. Jennifer invited us into her kitchen for a tasting and we were hooked from the lobster rolls all the way through the almond cutting cake and mini whoopee pies. We ended up with a raw bar, featuring local oysters and jumbo shrimp, an appetizer course, a main buffet with multiple meat and vegetarian options (try the Moroccan chicken for sure), and desserts to die for. They worked throughout the COVID-shrunken event to try to make everything go smoothly, including meeting a last minute request for a welcome reception, providing bartenders to serve the alcohol we purchased ourselves, and helped us choose the proper rentals for the event. Taste, hire, relax, celebrate. Hire 111 Maine. You will not regret it.

ter for our tasting, and she provided us a delicious meal and a personal touch that was unmatched. We felt so supported throughout the wedding process, and with plans changing due to COVID-19, Jennifer was incredibly flexible. She offered delicious food from start to finish, even accommodating some of our guests' strict dietary restrictions without hesitation. Her team of staff was incredible as well. We would highly recommend them and their delicious food for any function you may have!

o flexible, willing to roll with the punches and worked with us through the ups and downs of planning this new intimate event. From our tasting to the wedding Jennifer was a pleasure to work with and created delicious and wonderful food. We cannot say enough good things about our experience with 111 Maine, I would highly recommend!

main course, dessert, and bar was SO convenient. Not to mention their prices are so reasonable for the quality of what you get in return. We had the unfortunate timing to get married during the Covid pandemic but Jennifer worked closely with us as we adjusted our event from 150 people to under 50 people and from a fun station service to a plated service. My husband primarily coordinated with Jennifer and every time he got off the phone would rave about her positivity and willingness to help us in any way she could. We are so thankful for the hospitality they showed, and could not recommend them highly enough!

uests are still raving about the food. The tasting was also such a fun, special experience. We are absolutely thrilled we worked with 111 Maine and could not recommend them enough. Thank you 111 Maine!! - Taryn & Jonathan

sserts were high priority for us - we've been to many weddings where the food is bland, cold and forgetful - we craved flavorful, local flare and we got just that! Jen was kind enough to include two tastings - one for my parents and another for Ben's family. This allowed all involved to truly get a taste and have input. Leading up to the weekend, Jen was organized and calm; working with all necessary vendors to ensure we had what was needed. Her oversight and management truly made me feel confident going into the weekend. The only bumps were somewhat out of their control - the weather required the sides of the tent to be down which limited the room waiters had to serve food - this lead to somewhat slow service, but despite that, the product was still hot and delicious. There was also a server or two who tried to clear more than they could, and as a result, dropped a few plates, but it was quickly addressed. All in all, we're so happy with 111 Maine - we would highly recommend them to anyone getting married in Maine!

Everything tasted amazing (we're still dreaming of that ravioli...), looked incredible, and we heard so many stories about how 111 Maine went above and beyond to take impeccable care of our guests (from greeting them with cocktails as they left the ceremony, to packing up a to go box when a guest had to leave unexpectedly before dinner was served). Jennifer and team were also such a pleasure to work with leading up to the wedding - kind, flexible, and knowledgeable.

all night! Not to mention our incredible crepe bar made hot and fresh by Jennifer! The 111 team went above and beyond to make our entire wedding guests and vendors, feel like one big family on our wedding day - which is exactly what we wanted! We will forever be craving your chicken & waffles, late night garlic knots, and lobster rolls forever! Thank you for making our day so special.

d fabulous, but we were so incredibly impressed with the team - from the owner Jennifer to her staff onsite the day of…..they blew us away. They really thought of everything and the cocktail hour, dinner and bar service were just perfect. At one point during the cocktail hour, one of the servers came up to ask me what I wanted to sample and brought me a plate of appetizers - knowing how hard it is for the bride and groom to actually eat on their own wedding day. It was moments like that one that make 111 Maine stand out as one of the best vendor decisions we made for our wedding.

dding and we created 2 completely different menus. The food at both was so delicious! Guests were commenting on how amazing the food was.

get exactly what we wanted and stay within our budget. Jennifer arranged for us to do our tasting while we were east for Thanksgiving and we loved everything! On the wedding day, our guests could not stop talking about how good the food was. From the hors d'oeuvres to the main courses and sides to the delicious desserts, everything was a ten!

one through (giving them the benefit of the doubt). I asked them to give me a call back whether or not my date was booked (though it’s still 15 months away) just to let me know either way. Never called me back. Totally unprofessional.

and almost tried to make everything ourselves. And we were SO lucky to find 111 Maine, who not only were able to make things for us that were safe for everyone to consume (literally a feat that had never been achieved in a family function), every single one of our guests has since raved about the incredible menu created. Served family style, we got a huge amazing variety (from corn fritters and bacon wrapped scallops as passed hors dourness, to mirin steak to potato salad and spicy Korean slaw to citrus Haddock at dinner) that nobody could tell was painstakingly created to avoid life-threatening ingredients. Also, the cocktail they made upon our request was probably the greatest beverage I ever tasted. Their staff was also incredibly friendly, attentive, and responsive to everything from our first email through (free) tasting and even past the wedding day.- helping with rentals return. The ladies at 111 Maine are literal super heroes and made our wedding day EXTRAORDINARY! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

much stress. I have multiple, life-threatening food allergies myself (to milk, eggs, peanuts and tree nuts), and some of our guests had gluten intolerances and shellfish allergies on top of that. 111 Maine never batted an eye when we threw these challenges their way. They handled everything with the utmost care, providing me with the full list of ingredients during the tasting and even sending me images of the packaging of the store-bought ingredients they used (in addition to the amazing fresh produce) to put my mind at ease. They never balked when I asked them a million questions about how they prepared their food, what was in it, etc. Not only did everyone eat safely, but the food was actually delicious. They planned a brilliant menu that was designed to be served at room temperature so that guests weren’t left eating cold food that should have been hot if they were served later than others. They also really took our preference to heart when it came to the cuisines my husband and I like, the ingredient we don’t like and the types of food we wanted to avoid. They also did a great job of coordinating the bar set-up and staffing that. We gave them an idea of what we wanted for our signature cocktail, and they perfected it. Wedding food doesn’t need to be boring. And guests with food allergies or intolerances don’t need to feel excluded at special events. 111 Maine embraces that logic and delivers on it exceptionally. Hire them. Your taste buds will thank you.

our rehearsal dinner and our wedding. Guests have been raving about it! Every detail was perfect and my husband and I didnt have to worry about a thing! Would highly recommend!

. We are from Chicago and did all the vendor choices through reviews. We went to Topsham in April for a tasting. Wow, we were not disappointed. Appetizers were fabulous. The ravioli, well let’s just say you must try these with their makers mark cream sauce. The beef and haddock were cooked to perfection. The fresh vegetables were equally outstanding. We can’t thank Jen and her staff enough. When you ask someone how was the wedding the first thing they comment on is the food. This was the BEST food we have ever had at any wedding. Jen also caterered the brunch the next day. Can I just say the quiche melted in your mouth and the bakery was equally delicious. Thank you Jen for a memorable couple of days. Thank you, Mark and Rose

accomodating to all of our little requests ("can we swap this out for this?" "what about if we get this beer instead of this?")... and were doing it all with big smiles and zero hesitation. Every single one of the guests we spoke to at the reception said it was the "BEST WEDDING FOOD" they had ever tasted. We could not have been happier with every single aspect of the wedding they touched - bar, apps, dinner, dessert -- all of it was perfect. Could not recommend more highly!

family style dinner with 5 dishes for almost 200 guests, and everyone (even the true foodies) said it was the best wedding food they have EVER had. People were still talking about our food at the next 2 weddings we went to. We also had them take care of bartending for us and everything went very smoothly and the service was top notch all around. Thank you 111 Maine!

o put together a terrific menu for us, but when we went for the tasting we were hooked. The food was fantastic, they were so nice, cooked up everything for us to try, and it only got better when they were cooking for 100 people instead of just two. 111 Maine was also able to handle the baking and the bar service, cutting down on additional vendors and making things simpler for us. Everything was perfect, Thank you!

accommodating of our requests as well as offering great suggestions. Every dish was delicious and memorable. The goat cheese ravioli with Makers Mark cream made a huge impression on our guests. We were particularly impressed that the food was served piping hot despite being prepared outdoors in October. We would recommend 111 Maine without reservation.

aze me). When it came time for my own wedding I knew immediately who I wanted to cater it - after a tasting to convince my now husband - he was sold. To this day people still tell us how amazing the food was for both our rehearsal and wedding night - we couldn't agree more. Their entire team is so wonderful, gracious, and willing to do whatever to make it a successful event. I can't say enough about the 111 team, as people and as professionals.

rience, which was delightful, to the actual day of the wedding, 111 Maine was one of the better vendors we worked with. I, as the groom, was explicitly told to "have a big lunch because you won't eat dinner." So one of my goals for the wedding was to eat dinner...and damn it was great! There was so much food and their ravioli is divine. After talking to everyone, they all raved about how great the appetizers were, which I would have devoured more of, but alas we were taking pictures. Fortunately, the bar service more than made up for that as well. 111 Maine was a great choice that I wholeheartedly recommend!!!

squeezed us in for a tasting the day before Thanksgiving. And, of course, the food! It was delicious. Our guests were raving about the hors d'oeuvres before dinner even started, and we heard from multiple guests that the dinner was great too -- pretty impressive, considering we got married in a barn that didn't have a kitchen. Jen was such a pleasure to work with leading up to the big day, and Amanda kept everything running so smoothly the day of. Even the catering staff they brought were great. They mentioned during the tasting that they have a really high retention rate of their staff year-over-year (it was above 50% but I can't remember the exact number) -- which definitely speaks to the business they run. Highly, highly recommend 111 Maine -- you won't regret it.

DELICIOUS, but the staff was so kind and professional. As a photographer, I have very little (if any) time to eat during a 10 hour work day spent running around and on my feet. I had such a wonderful experience with 111Maine. They graciously fixed me a full hot meal right at the beginning of the reception so I could eat at the same time as the guests. This allowed me to refuel and feel energized for the rest of the night without missing any action. I really appreciated their kindness and team attitude. As vendors, we are all there to make it the best day possible for the couple, and 111Maine helped make that happen. I hope to see them at weddings in the future :)

ifer, and it was the best and easiest part of the wedding planning! They were two of the most professional and most reassuring businesswomen with which I've ever had the pleasure of working. Our wedding "menu" was a bit different than the standard fare, and they outdid themselves! Every guest at the wedding raved about the quality and originality of the food. On the morning of the wedding I was in a panic, but they showed up, reassured me, sent me off to be with my daughter, and took care of EVERYTHING. When we came back, the tables were set up beautifully, the food was ready, and their very professional staff, on cue, greeted guests with signature drinks that they had created themselves for the event. I can't say enough good things about this catering company. I would TOTALLY recommend Jennifer and Amanda, as well as their entire talented staff to anyone who has an event that needs food. It wasn't just the food, it was the entire experience. Thank you Jen and Amanda..."You did GOOD!".

e caterer. We were planning all of this without the help of a wedding planner and Jennifer made the process so easy. She listened to our overall plans and helped us craft menus for each event that were delicious. She helped us keep our budget in check, create a timeline that worked for the wedding day. In short -- Jennifer and her staff worked seamlessly with our other vendors and ourselves. She made the process of planning as easy and fun as it could be. AND then she delivered incredible food three days in a row for a large wedding (191 guests). I can easily say hiring Jennifer was one of the best decisions we made! Emily & Steve

complete wedding day experience - apps, salads, all the entrees, each dessert. It was all delicious and fantastic. Throughout the entire wedding planning process, they were easy to connect with and completely professional - I felt nothing but calm and complete confidence when it came to the food. On the wedding day, things could not have gone smoother - we heard multiple guests tell us that they have never had better food. Also, the mixed drinks that 111Maine made for us had superb reviews. Our guests could not have better things to say. If you have the option, you should definitely cater with 111Maine. They are professional and beyond helpful and nice. Also, I loved that they used local Maine food, which was fun for all our out of town guests.

that point. She checked it out so we could put together a wedding game plan- which took about 30 minutes. She checked herself for ticks and then drove all the way home. When we went our tasting with Jennifer and her team we were blown away and we knew our wedding day would be absolutely fantastic. When our wedding day came around the service team was excellent, the food was phenomenal, the presentation was beautiful. Every single guest was full and satisfied by the end of the night!!! I would recommend 111 Maine to anyone and everyone.

Amanda were professional, organized, responsive, reasonable, kind, and so supportive. We were blown away by how much they did for us. We truly viewed Jennifer and Amanda as not just our caterers, but our wedding planners and coordinators. They walked through the venue with us, helped design a floor plan for the reception, and hosted us for an amazing tasting. They took care of rentals and making sure all necessary kitchen supplies and plate ware were accounted for. The day of our wedding, the 111 staff set up the entire venue and decorated our tables with our wholesale flowers to perfectly match our vision. It was stunning! During the reception, the service was top notch and the food incredible. All of our guests raved about the food. After the reception, the staff broke down and packed everything! The wedding went off flawlessly and we enjoyed our friends and family with full confidence that Jennifer and Amanda and their staff would take care of everything. We cannot possibly begin to express how grateful and appreciative we are for 111 Maine. Our day was so much more than we ever expected it would be and that was large in part due to 111 Maine. We hold 111 Maine in our highest possible regard and could not recommend them more!!

oint to serve my new husband and I a plate of our favorite hors d'oeuvres after the receiving line to make sure that we didn't miss out on the food we had picked. Overall, working with Jennifer was a pleasure and they really helped make our wedding amazing.

mmend.

all our questions, and making suggestions. She was so positive and fun and there was no problem at all accommodating the different food restrictions and allergies. She even came to the venue with us (The Portland Company, Portland, ME) and helped us visualize the set up and flow. Her crew was amazing and so friendly and actually seemed to enjoy themselves too. The food was crucial and our guests (they can be a tough crowd!) raved about it and were amazed that 111 Maine could keep meals hot for 125 people! The salmon was fabulous but the lobster rolls were truly the highlight! Thank you, Jennifer. You are simply the best!

... Jennifer is the nicest, most dedicated head caterer. She always answered my questions thoroughly and in a timely fashion, even when my wedding was still a few months away. The service was great and all the servers were nice and on task! It was flawless. And the food... the FOOD!!! My guests are still talking about it and many of them walked up to me during the reception to tell me how good the food was and especially the hangar steak. 111 Maine went above and beyond on all aspects of the wedding and they've been so helpful. We are grateful for their services and we are their #1 fans.
